DANTE

The only time Ambrose came to Castle Belfonte was when there was an emergency or there was a Council Meeting. Judging by the look on his face and the message via mind link, it was the former. A Council Meeting was not scheduled yet, to the best of my knowledge.

“The sapphire ring is gone. It was stolen from the safe in my home.”

What?

“You seem awfully calm about that.” Ambrose sat across from me on the L-shaped couch, sipping the refrigerated blood with a calm demeanour. Ambrose and I are a lot alike in that respect; Luca used to say that we were scarily similar for people who were not related-always maintaining a clear head even in the face of clear danger.

“Oh, I’m pissed,” he said. “But, I won’t let it show.”

“When was it stolen?”

“Today.”

“My castle was raided  yesterday while I was away on a courtesy visit.”

    DANTE“I don’t know who killed Seb, father. Orville stated it wasn’t him.”“Orville was Seb’s Beta. They were close. I did recall he mentioned his name numerous of times. Apparently they grew up together.”“Did Seb ever mention anything that was out of ordinary as regards Orville?”He thought about my question and shook his head. “No, nothing out of the ordinary. He only mentioned that Orville was nothing but a good friend.”Of course he did. Seb was practically a saint. He could never say anything bad about anyone, no matter how evil-intentioned they were. He could paint the devil white if he could.“We didn’t see Aila.” The cup in his hands stilled and that caught my attention. “Did he mention anything about Aila, father?” I knew Ambrose. There was something he was not saying, but I was relentless blood hound when I wanted answers. I was determi

    DANTERon and Sage’s funeral was peaceful. I had paid my respects; I had visited the families of the deceased and reassured them that the blood of their beloved would not go unpunished and I intend to keep my word.The funeral was held at the ‘Tomb of Ours’, a special gravesite I had created outside the castle walls for my fallen guards during the Meritean War. The site was a large expanse of land, surrounded by tall grass and shrubs. I had chosen this location because it was the same spot my guards had died in in the Meritian war, thousands of them fallen right before my eyes and there was little I could do about it at the time.The funeral was tearful; they had families, they both had mates and Zander and I had heavy hearts. As I stared at their names engraved in stone, I vowed to find the ones responsible for their deaths. I owed it to their families because they, in a way, entrusted me with a soul and I had failed to protect i

  • Falling for the Vampire Prince   ROGUE

    DANTE“They are rogue vampires.”As we approached my throne room, he hands me a stamped file.“Coral and Zane Flynn, siblings, are rogue vampires and part of some sort of elite vampire cartel here in North America.”I loosened the tie around my neck and sat down on the couch, skimming through the contents of the file. I always had a feeling that they were rogue vampires, but I wanted to be sure before I made a decision. Rogues are a bloody nuisance, one which you could not get rid of, no matter how hard you tried. They were everywhere and they do cause disruptions from time to time. Ever since the war, their activities have been at an all time low, but they were still around and when they decide to show their faces, they made sure to leave a mess.Like the mess they left in the human territory, killing my girl’s family.Technically, Kira isn&r

    KIRAThe kiss was a week ago. But it doesn’t mean I haven’t thought about it constantly-seven days, twenty-four hours and six-hundred and four-thousand, eight-hundred seconds.Yes, I had been counting.Every girl has that crush in high school, the one that they gawked and fawned over, and though I didn’t go to high school, I felt all giddy on the inside when he kissed me. His lips felt so warm, soft, gentle and he was tender- not too aggressive. He was my first real and willful kiss and I would constantly replay it till it buried the harm that Austen inflicted on me.But, the down-side of the crush was Dante was avoiding me.He had to be avoiding me because how do you kiss a girl and then act like she doesn’t exist? It’s very confusing and it definitely made me question if Prince Dante felt the same way I did. He wouldn’t have kissed me if he didn’t, I think. Regardless, I had my

    DANTE“What did you tell, Kira?” I asked accusatorily. The guards I stationed to watch over Kira informed me that she was talking to Ellemea. Then, I met L=Kira in the hallway and she looked upset. She refused to look me in the eye when I asked her what was wrong and slipped from my grasp to her room.Ellemea closed the front door of the throne room, calmly and cautiously, then took her seat on the L-shaped couch.“Well, Good morning to you too, Dante,” she answered sarcastically. “I’m fine, thank you so much for asking. It’s not like you summoned me here early in the morning when I could be, I don’t know, mixing potions.”I narrowed my eyes at her. Those where not answers to my question.“What did you tell her?” I pressed. If Kira was so upset, it must have been something serious. I moved from my throne to join her on the couch and dismissed Zander for a few hours. He deserved the r

    KIRAIt had been a week since Ellmea told me the truth about my parents and how they summoned her. I was mad before bur not anymore. Being mad doesn’t change the past and it certainly wouldn’t bring my parents back to life. It was still puzzling why they would sacrifice their lives for me. Did they know I would become some powerful creature? Where they really witches to begin with? I had so many questions about my past and those questions could only be answered by the people who were six-feet under the ground.In other news, the castle is a bit on the edge.Something was happening in Castle Belfonte, or dare I say, North America in general. The stench of something extremely terrible was looming and I’m no prophetess of doom, but I could feel it and my instincts were never wrong. Another indicator of something terrible possibly happening was Prince Dante’s attitude. We still haven’t talked about that kiss yet and everytime our paths

    DANTECatching Nick was fairly easy. He was not even trying to make himself scarce and I was hell-bent on exhausting every means necessary to find him. Of course, I also had the help of Ellemea.Getting Nick to tell me what the fuck was going on? That was an arduous task. He refused to breathe a word, no matter how much he was tortured. I never liked him to begin with so torturing him for two days was a great pleasure of mine. I knew what made werewolves tick and the whip laced in wolfsbane was their greatest enemy. My anger was burning bright and no matter how many times he screamed and thrashed through the chains at the bottom of the underground tunnel, he wasn’t going anywhere.That would teach him that touching what was mine would get you killed.How his pea brain thought he could break into my castle without me finding out was beyond me. When Ellemea first said his name, after identifying him via the CCTV footage, I couldn’t believe

    DANTE“Why’d you do it Emily, and Satan help you that you don’t answer my questions right here and right now. Ambrose would not save you from my wrath, and neither would Andre, William, Luca, or Simeon. Don’t test me because I could replace those invisible chains with real ones.” I wasn’t going to torture her. I don’t do that to women, but she made me want to break my unspoken rule. When I heard from a guard that Emily was in Kira’s room, my innate sense to protect her from my own sister kicked in. I knew they talked, but Emily wasn’t the same as the one who had nursed Kira back to health. I feared for Kira’s life which is why I barged into her room like a rabid dog, unhinged.If she hurt Kira, if a single hair was plucked from her head, I had no idea what I would have done. But it wouldn’t have been pretty.What she and Nick did warranted death without trial by the Council. I would deal with the

  • Falling for the Vampire Prince   POISON

    POISON KIRA My mother always told me that I was destined for a greater purpose, something absolutely bigger than I was. Eight-year old me was too young to truly grasp the sense of her words, but now I do, I believe this was what she meant. I was to be the one to stop Drisellda using Endgame. The knife was firmly secured in my hands as I was transported to the fight. My nerves were trying to get the best of me, but I wouldn’t let them win. I had to do this to save Dante and probably the whole of North America because from what I’ve heard and seen, Drisellda is a loose cannon. I was just in time to see Drisellda trying to kick Dante in the face but he avoided it via his super speed before she could connect with his face. I hid the knife in my robe and Dante spotted me. His eyes widened and pursed in confusion. He was by my side in a flash. “Kira, what are you doing here? I thought I said you should stay with Zander?” he reprimanded. I ignored his reproof. “

    KIRADante and Emily where locked in a brawl. From Zander and I’s vantage point, I could see that Dante was trying to overpower her, but was failing miserably. Everytime he would come closer, she would recite a spell or do something to counter his attack.It wa pure chaos.And it didn’t help that glass shattering and door rattling could be heard from even the most silent corners of the castle, making me wonder what the fuck was going on.“We have to do something.” I grabbed Zander’s arm. “For God’s sake, we can’t just stay out here and do nothing! Don’t you see,” I gestured to Emily grabbing Dante by the neck and lifting him up. “She’s going to kill him.” I really did believe she was going to kill him because Emily was infected by the poison of black magic.Tears were threatening to spill but I wouldn&r

  • Falling for the Vampire Prince   EMPTY

    DANTEThe smell of death permeated the air as soon as I walked into her cell. I didn’t need to take further steps to know that a mini massacre had happened here- there was blood splatter everywhere, dried blood on the walls and on the window.I looked down on the floor and noticed that there was a dead body beside me, a body of one of my guards. He was lying in the pool of his own blood, a knife in his hands.“For fucks sake,” I muttered. I grabbed the bloodied knife from his pale, limp hands and side-stepped him. I walked in further, looking for any sign of my sister but there was none. Zander was right, she really did break her chains. They were lying haphazardly on the floor.Even though I couldn’t see her, I could smell her essence. Her cell wasn’t large, but it was big enough to accommodate ten people at most.“Emily, I’m not playing

    KIRAI love you.” I wanted him to know that. I inched closer and wrapped my hands around his neck, straddling him. I wanted him to see my genuineness in the moonlight. “I love you so much.”“I love you, Kira Song. I meant it then,” he moved closer to my lips. “And I mean it now.”He closed the gap between us and our lips fell into a warm, delicate embrace. It was just us in our own little world, a mangled mess of bodies and moans. Dante said he loved me.I had waited for him to say those words to me since I came to the castle. My love wasn’t one-sided after all.Life is funny that way. If you pinched me years ago and told me that I would fall in love with a supernatural creature- a Vampire Prince for that matter- I would have laughed in your face and told you take a one way trip to hell.But it happened.

  • Falling for the Vampire Prince   NIGHTS

    KIRAI cherished nights like this.The castle has had little or no action, but I could still feel that there was a little bit of tension. Call it a half-breed’s intuition.Dante was busy, I had watched him leave his room, Zander in tow as he was shooting rapid fire instructions at him. Being the ruler of a whole Kingdom was bound to be stressful and a lot of people relied on him. I understood that before me, he had a family, responsibilities and a duty to his people. We may be a ‘couple’ but I’ve never asked for more than he was willing to give me. It was more than enough.Despite his busy schedule, he always made out the time to see me in the comfort of the night. I think it was the one time where he truly felt free. He was just Dante and not Prince Dante. There was no title that shouldered and carried a weight of problems.Our relationship felt sacrilegious, almost tabo

    DANTE“That aside, have you heard from Emily? She hasn’t talked to me nor has she visited and I am getting worried.” Ambrose said. Oh right, he didn’t know what was going on. “Do you know if she’s okay?”How do I tell Ambrose that his only daughter has gone mad due to black magic and she was currently in my dungeon chained like a wild animal?“You’re not saying anything? Did something happen to Emily?’A lot of things happened to Emily.“You might want to have another sip of blood before you hear this.” He may probably need a whole wine cellar. “Emily is alive.” He heaved a sigh of relief and I grimaced. “That’s good, but I feel something is off. You’re not telling me something. I know my children better than anyone.”I struggled to find the words. “Emily is alive, but barely.”“What?” he bellowed, his ey

    DANTEEllemea excused herself to go see Emily after I told her Ambrose was here. I told Zander to let my father in. Ambrose walked in and he did not look pleased. I could feel his reprimand coming: the way the lines on his forehead would crease, his eyebrows would knot together like they were bound by an invisible string and his lips would form into a tight frown. When I was a young vampire, I used to dread making him angry. I didn’t want to disappoint the one man that treated me more like a son than my own flesh and blood. Now? I have more autonomy.“Really, Dante?” He was mad. The smoke on top of his head was burning with coal embers.“Good evening to you too, Ambrose,” I offered him my drink with a smirk. “What brings you to my humble abode?”“Dante Rosetti,” he used my government name. “Explain to me why I’m getting a frightened phone call from Master Rindall claiming that you visited t

    “You’re late.”“I was busy.”I handed my jacket to Zander, and instructed him that we not be disturbed.“Doing?” she asked. I joined her on the couch in my throne room and raised a brow. Since when was she this nosy? “Nothing of particular concern for now.”“You smell like blood,” she observed. “Vampire blood, mixed with…drugs?.” Ellemea leaned in closer to observe me with suspicion. “What have you really been up to?”“Again, nothing that should concern you for now.” She may be persistent, but I was stubborn as hell.Thankfully, she dropped it and I dived right into the reason I called for her audience. “I know who killed Sebastian.”That caught her attention immediately and she widened her eyes. “Who did it?”“Emily.”“That’s impossible.”Was it r

One small slip-up and everything would go to shit.“Do engage me, Prince Dante, who are the members you’re looking for?”“Coral and Zane Flynn.”The bastards that murdered Kira’s family.He threw another drink back and was silent for a while, looking at everywhere but me, before his eyes regained their focus.
