"Hey you, what are you doing over there?" A manly voice called out from within the woods.
Shivers ran down Alice's spine as she hurriedly hid the red lotus flower in her bag pack.
"Erm… I think I lost my way around here. I'll just leave and find my way home." Alice lied as she turned to leave.
"You don't look like us. You smell like a…"
A wolf? Oh no! Was she about to get into trouble now?
"You smell like a pig. But still I need to figure out who you are. Follow me!" The man barked.
Alice gritted her teeth in frustration. She followed the broad shouldered
She knew just what to do. Why didn't she think of that earlier? Alice hurriedly ran in direction of the royal kitchen, to begin her rescue mission. Luckily, there was no one in the kitchen. They had probably retired to the slave quarters for the night. She sneaked in quietly, grabbing 30 cups into a wooden basket. Alongside a local wine, in a jug. Alice reached for a whitish substance beneath her garment and sprayed a handful, in the jug of wine. She shook it vigorously and set out, heading back to the King's chambers. "Stop there!" The head guard ordered as he sighted Alice heading towards them.
"Who dared to go against my order?" The voice echoed in the King's chambers. Alice looked at the king with wide eyes but he was back into his unconscious state. Huh? What was going on? Didn't he just jilt out of his unconscious state? "Oh see who we have here." The owner of the voice said to Alice. Shivers ran down her spine as she beheld the owner of the voice. It was the grand queen. "Spare my life, your highness." Hot sweats emanated from her body and soaked her cloth like she was beaten by the rain.
The guards were shocked at the grand queen's words. That was the first time their grand queen would say such words to any of her victims.While they were still in shock, the grand queen dropped a bombshell."I never said I was going to spare your life. It would be good for you if you do not misinterpret my words!"The men regained composure and smiled.This was the real Seria speaking.Alice was shocked to her bones.Didn't she just say that she was going to let her go? Why did she take back her words all of a sudden?
"You can't take her away!" A voice came from the entrance, as the door flew open in the air.It was the King. King Azalea stepped in looking so hale and healthy, to the surprise of everyone especially his mother."Son, what… what are you doing here?" The grand queen stammered, still in shock."I should be asking you that mother. How could you? How could you try to kill your son?"The crowd gasped."So she tried killing the king and framed his mate for it?""Punish the grand queen, your highness." The council members choruse
"Sorry Alice, you'll get better." King Azalea said repeatedly as he cleaned Alice's wound with a warm towel.He reached out for a knife and slit his palm, pouring a good amount of his blood in a plate.Vampires blood were capable of healing, but he had no idea if it would work on a wolf. He wouldn't know if he didn't try, perhaps it would work.He rubbed his blood on her fingers, painted her teeth with it and gulped the rest down her throat. He kept muttering some inaudible words to himself, as he hoped for Alice's fast healing.They waited and waited until she fell asleep. Nothing happened. No signs of healing anywhere.King A
His desire to have her, to dominate her and make her scream with ecstasy was so palpable that it hung over their heads, like a dark, ominous cloud.Alicia didn't want to surrender to him at first.The more she tried to resist the touch, the more it seemed impossible. Electricity seemed to jolt through her body as he ran his hands on her thighs. He moved his hands forward with each passing second until his hands were inside her gown."Ugh…" Alicia moaned.Alicia wondered what was wrong with her.She was hungry for his touch, craving it. She had never felt like that before and it was scary and exhilarating at the same time.
"And why are you offering me this on a platter of gold? Do you think I'm helpless without you? Oh wait! There must be something I have that you need."The words left her mouth before she could even think it over, and her fingers shook in hesitation. She expected him to snap at her but he just grabbed her waist and pinned her to the floor of the bathroom.What was this jerk up to?"Why me? I have literally nothing to offer you, wouldn't it be nice to marry a lady as rich as you are?"There was silence for a while, then in a calm sweet voice, he responded."It's exactly because you have nothing to lose that makes you and Alice perfect
"We're getting married." Alicia said to her, leaving her in a daze for a few seconds. "Alicia are you kidding? The last time I checked, that jerk never wanted to have anything serious with us. This joke is so expensive." Alice said, looking at her twin sister. "Do I look like I'm joking?" Alicia asked, and without waiting for Alice's response, she continued. "I'm damn serious. We are getting married to Azalea, the vampire king!" Alicia said with a tone of finality. Was this a dream? "Alicia, how can you appear from the blues and tell me that we are getting married to a man who made us lowly maids and later on sex slaves?" Alice asked on the verge of tears. "For god's sake, we are adults. We are adults of eighteen years, not children of ten. Don't we get to choose who we want to spend the rest of our life with?" Alice asked her twin sister, who kept a straight face. "My dear, in this matter we do not have a say. A deal has been made already." Alicia said sternly. "What
