I swallowed deeply as the frigid winds wrapped around my body and gave me shivers. My boot clung to the ground, sending hollow noises through the streets as the gloomy night shook menacingly.I hurriedly brushed my cheeks away as tears clouded my view. I sighed feeling almost hopeless and ready to give up. Walking down the deserted street, I experienced nothingness. Was I really as gullible as everyone gathered of me?The worst possible decision I could have made was to leave work and stop close to my boyfriend's place. It was horrible to see my now ex-boyfriend, who was also with my best friend, lying in bed.As tears continued to stain my face, I was overcome by the unease of a clouded mind, followed by the trembling of weak knees, the tightening of my stomach, and the urge to vomit.I hunched myself into a ball-like manner and hastened my speed as the raindrops dispersed and the night became colder.My heels clicking on the floor was suddenly drowned out by the sound of heavy rain
Without a doubt, the circumstances that led to my unexpected capture were a direct message from the universe that it was my time to pass away.The worst image of my life had to be taken of my dweeb head of a boyfriend sleeping with my closest friend, and now I'm being abducted because I had to work overtime at my deadbeat job, which forced me to wander the deserted streets late at night.In my ignorance, The warnings were new to me. The constant screen time Liam has been getting on his phone, their unexpected closeness to one another, and the pointless disputes we've been having have all been signs of their growing attraction to one another.Given that he was preoccupied with finding my ex-best friend Emma at the all-you-can-eat buffet, I seriously doubt the little shithead would call the police after realizing I was missing.I noticed my unkempt ginger hair that spilled down to my back as I took a glance at myself in the mirror. My once-ocean green eyes are now dead and colorless. Cu
Fairies, werewolves, vampires, and zombies were all mentioned in stories I had heard, but everyone knew they were made up. Everything was untrue. They were all purely made-up tales of fiction.I was abruptly being held by my throat against the wall by Vince, who had a vicious appearance and was bearing teeth at me with wide eyes and a dangerous demeanor before I could absorb or allow the news to settle in further.My hand clawed at his hand while I coughed and heaved desperately for air. "What is this sorcery?!" I was left with no choice but to gasp and grasp for the last of my air as his words now echoed throughout the entire room."This quickly?" Vince looked up when the previous woman entered the room.Vince's eyes then wandered back towards me before dropping me flat on the ground. I held onto my neck while backing away into the corner of the room. I wanted to be as far away as possible from the menacing and deadly hands of Vince.He turned to her and said, "Do you hear that?""H
In the hours since I was caught, it has been challenging to accept the existence of vampires. The transition of the once-fictional world of fairytales into reality would require some getting accustomed to.I hadn't even had a chance to reflect. I questioned if I was being sought after. I questioned whether Liam missed me. Although it wasn't all sunshine and flowers, that was the life I knew and in some ways missed.I wish I wasn't in a situation where my life was now in the control of vampires and that it was just me.What sense does it make to be taken as a damsel in distress and sent to a castle to be a pet? Some people might anticipate a prince charming to greet them, but not me, instead I got blood sucking Vampire's that weren't even real until my damsel self got kidnapped.God damnit!Luck certainly didn't like the guts of me. I promise I would shoot Liam in the eye if I was to ever get out of this alive."Here are your clothes Isabella. First take a shower and then we'll have yo
Things weren't what they seemed to be or used to be, but suddenly reality had started to set in, and I was more than aware of this and was beginning to accept it.What appeared to be fiction in this universe, I now questioned. If vampires were real, other made-up stories might also be as genuine as they come.In my bed, cuddling I was lost as to how I was feeling just now. Should I accept reality as it is now, or should I keep fighting until I managed to get away?Perhaps I could gain the confidence of others so that, once I had their support, I could make my getaway."Catherine?" I sat up."Hmm?" She hummed softly suggesting that I carry on."Hmm?" She quietly hummed, encouraging me to keep going."Now that I've conclusively proven vampires exist, Are fairies and werewolves real, too?" I inquired because I was genuinely curious."We vampires and werewolves have fought each other for a very long time, but I've never heard of a fairy being real." She laughed out loud."Who won the batt
I slowly dozed off to what appeared to be a night of blissful tranquilly because my body had clearly exceeded its sleep-deprivation tolerance levels.I begged Catherine to spend the night with me just before falling asleep. My fear of what lurked in the darkness persisted even after the doors were locked.I shuddered at the idea of having my life mercilessly sucked out of my body because it was obvious that not everyone in this place was as trustworthy. Catherine wasn't someone I trusted, either, but compared to the people I had met so far, she wasn't as scary.And I was confident that if anyone tried to harm me, Catherine would hopefully be there to keep me from dying as she had promised, and I was taking her at her word.I went as far as making sure she drank her dinner before me, it was certainly not an appeasing sight to see but I needed for her to be full so that I had a chance of waking up tomorrow perfectly healthy and untouched the way that I am.I didn't want to awaken to fin
I felt like time had stopped when I hurried back to my room, passing maids and, happily, no Vampire's who would love to sink their canines into my luscious neck for mere pleasure.I slid down the door frame, clutching my chest and panting for breath. I felt thankful to be alive after my sheer idiocy.Had I been possessed or something? Had I been forced to do something? What on earth were these peculiar feelings I was experiencing? Nobody could possibly know about my awkward and strange encounters, that much was certain."Issa!" Catherine's voice echoed out in the room before she stooped down in front of me, her eyes filled with concern."We've been searching for you for hours! I thought a vampire had harmed you. Where have you been?" When she inquired, I looked up to see Vince peering down at me, his face showing how irritated he was."I went out looking for food to eat simply because I was hungry." I concocted a pitiful fabrication.My embarrassing secret is something I'd never revea
Every single person who had expressed concern for me either died or managed to reclaim it in some other way, like unspoken words.The stinging pain of not being taken seriously now weighing heavily on me. One second I was kidnapped and being held a hostage for a pet to drink and now I was cuffed like a criminal ready to be killed or thrown into prison.There was no way I could have known how much of this I could handle. Tears streamed down my face, and I felt as though my life was dying right before my eyes.This time, it was brought on by the hurt I experienced as a result of being betrayed. Will it ever end, and when? I was only willing to go so far as to handcuff a human who was incapable of hurting a vampire. If I even had a human being in me at all.What made it worse was that Prince Salvatore was staring at me with a murderous glare. I could feel my insides burning and couldn't take it from him any longer because the feeling was intolerable.All I wanted was for him to hold me a
Three months later.......I woke up to find Prince Salvatore gazing away at me, his hand traced my chest moving up to my face. "My love." His hoarse sultry voice sweetly spoke to me before his sweet lips descended down onto mine reliving me of the fantastic he was.Prince Salvatore broke apart the kiss minutes later. There was nothing more peaceful than laying in my comfy bed with my dominant Prince charming."Am I able to help?" I questioned him.I could feel it throughout our kiss that he was somehow holding back. My hand swiftly rushed to his messy hair that I loved to play in.A sigh escaped from his lips, "I was hoping you wouldn't find out." My eyes lit up, I wanted to know everything about my big bad scary Vampire Prince."Do you remember the Vampire that once bit you and I killed him?" Salvatore questioned."Yes I remember." I murmured in his chest."He's the nephew of a neighboring coven. An allie of mine actually, he's recently found out that I was the one that killed him.
When I'm not busy or Salvatore is preoccupied with coven responsibilities, I spend my free time. Apart from Salvatore, my powers were the main thing that was constantly in the back of my thoughts.The peacefulness of the garden's flowing water and thick greenery, as well as the chirping of birds and the presence of a few animals, gave the impression that it was a paradise.I loved being here. No wonder Salvatore made sure that his garden was well taken care of. This richly beautiful place was magnificent.I also came to find out that because Vampire's were immortal they had a amassed huge amount of wealth gathered up. They also work late night doing lots of investment, business as Salvatore's pet could walk in the sun, illegal activities etc.I stared in the distance finally having the freedom to leave, I was a vampire and a witch that was unable to give up my true identity or be faced with wrath and death everywhere.Even though I had the opportunity of leaving the pack I choose not
Third party POVThe royal committee had left the Salvatore coven, and the royals had left in both dismay and calm. After returning home, they sat in their thrown room.Gabriel chose to walk through the hallways and take a look at what had changed since he last toured because he wanted to reacquaint himself with what it was like to be a royal vampire.On one hand they were quite contented with the fact that Gabriel had come back to life and they could soon start having Royal heirs to take up the thrown once they passed away and so they would no longer be considered welders that could not have children.But there was also a significant loss today. Prince Salvatore, the one that had remarkable powers for a royal. The one that could walk in the day without being killed, the one could provide someone with immortal powers, something they were not able to do or did not have themselves."Are we just going to ignore the fact that we let the opportune time go to actually manipulate Salvatore in
"Ew." My eyes were immediately covered as I was pulled into the arms of Salvatore to hide what my eyes certainly wouldn't forget after seeing it.I pouted and turned to look up at Salvatore. Hearing shuffling from Vince and Catherine whilst they cleared their throats behind us. It seemed rather odd considering none of them had previously shown any interest in the other, but I just had a gut feeling that they had."Um, we were planning to visit you people," Without being able to look at us, Catherine spoke out while tremblingly scanning the room."Yes, you were, I'm sure of it." While she kept looking around the room, I offered her a goofy grin.This resulted in me getting a glare from her."Catherine here was having fun while riding a pony while we were in the conference room preparing to start one of the biggest bloodbaths in history while being concerned about you two." I came to a conclusion."Well it's not easy recovering from multiple broken bones, multiple punctured organs and
Present time......"What is this nonsense?!" "What kind of game is this?!" Cortez yelled in indignation, unable to believe Gabriel Michelson was in front of them. They were completely amazed, as seen by the expression on their faces.Gabriel stood with a smile on his face, delighted to see his royal friends once more. I felt a little rush of pride when I saw this."My mate is a half-white witch. You are all aware of what a white witch is capable of, I'm sure. Gabriel was able to be returned in exactly the same condition as previously thanks to Isabella's ability to travel to the afterlife." Prince Salvatore confessed, causing the audience to gasp at his abrupt disclosure."A white witch? However, it is not practical. Since there hadn't been a white witch for a very long time, it was assumed that all of the white witches had long since departed for the other side." Cortez, a member of the royal family, started to speak.The three female royals touched his face and body in shock as th
Several hours before....On my cheeks, I felt a few brief, soft touches. As my mate held me in his arms, I felt a rush of exhilaration. When I opened my eyes, Salvatore was staring at me from below.I have to say that being held by my mate as I woke up was one of the best sensations I could have had. His lips curled into a smile. When I compared my life to how it was earlier, I had to admit that it had significantly improved.Salvatore's lips descended onto mine and I relished in the feeling of my mate taking more care of me. Call me stupid but I felt as though I was in love with this man after just getting to thoroughly know him in and out a few days ago."Why do I feel as though I just woke up in paradise?" I said as I laid my palm on his chest and felt his heartbeat, which to me was like a lullaby.Salvatore didn't say anything and just gave me another scorching kiss on the lips. I smiled, happy with the way things were turning out, but I soon remembered why I had been knocked unco
As the large double doors opened, we two could be seen standing next to the group. Salvatore grabbed my hand tightly, sensing that I was a little uneasy.Despite the anguish on the pack members' faces, they appeared fifty years younger the minute they turned to face their Prince Salvatore. It was easy to see the relief on their expressions.To see Catherine and Vince was making me more and more excited. I was worried about the situation in general and about how they were doing.I noticed a couple of admiring vampires who were glancing at us. They were obviously shocked to find that Prince Salvatore and I had marked each other's necks, and they were looking at both of us openly. I could also hear their thoughts, while some were happy to see us a few were also in distress. I blocked them from my mind wanting to stay focused.'Why can't I see Vince and Catherine?' I tried speaking to Salvatore but he had blocked me.Once we made it to the conference room, we kept moving forward hand in h
"W-what?" "Yes Isabella. You have a white witch ancestry. a highly sought-after creature because to their ability to both heal and raise the dead. Imagine being able to raise millions of the dead and use them to build an army. Think about how easy it would be to heal someone if they got hurt." Xian clarified but kept going."Are there any evil qualities in those who die and then return back to life? Or do they simply continue living their normal lives, as they have in the past, on the other hand?" Confounded, I inquired."Isabella, they are the same as they were when they previously resided here. The main difference is that they frequently incline to be more devoted to the person who revived them. It would be the same as claiming you were the owner. Much more than Isabella, you possess great strength." praise from Xian."Has it actually been successful in the past?" Since he's already practically told me that, I guess it was a foolish question I asked.I mentally palmed myself for do
Salvatore placed our baggage in the trunk of the car while I watched. As the meeting with the royal Vampire committee drew near, time was running out.Salvatore had an idea. One that might influence the royals to spare my life and leave Prince Salvatore's pack alone, but I knew this was pointless because I sensed that a major conflict was about to break out.The fact that Prince Salvatore and I had made mistakes along the way was something I was quite aware of. Although it would have been more cheaper than mating with each other, we might have been mates.I had a strange sense that a conflict with the vampire court was now unavoidable. For both of us, the hope was being carried by Salvatore.His face lacked of any emotions and whenever I would try to read his mind when he was in deep though, he would immediately block me. I didn't want to seem like an overbearing mate that would not allow him any privacy of his own.It was amazing how in the space of two days how things have drastical
