Agnes pushed the door open and saw Logan standing outside with fresh flowers in hand. Her eyes darted back at me before she moved aside to allow him walk through.

Logan walked up to me and handed me the fresh flowers, “these are for you” he said with a smile.

“Thank you” I accepted it and then i remembered his confession last night and my heart quietly skipped a beat. I hope I don't end up hurting him because I could see hope in his eyes even though thing would never work between us.

Agnes was left stunned as she stood by the corner without saying a word and that left me feeling a bit awkward around him and very uncomfortable.

I wish he never confessed his feelings, everything would have been normal again.

"How are you?" he asked, breaking the awkward silence in the room.

"Gre...at," I stammered before looking down at the flowers.

"How about your injuries?" he asked again

"They are gone now, I'm okay," I replied still looking away.

“I will see you later, Iris” Agnes said as she smil

    I was surprised by Logan's plan as I continued to at him. He was eagerly looking at me, probably waiting for a reply but deep down in my heart, I knew, I’m not going to risk my life like that."No, I can't do it," I said to him."Why? is it because the prince won't like it?" he asked me."No, Logan! It is too risky and not safe. What if the king's guard catches up with us?" I asked him back."They won't," he replied."How sure are you? you know the punishment for this, we would be hanged when caught and secondly our village and people back home would in trouble."I heard there is another human village far away from here, we could go there instead and they won’t be able to find us.

    (Otis POV) I saw Iris hurrying out of the door after I left her and went to stand next to Lady Avril for the engagement process. I wanted so bad to go after her because I know she was devastated and heartbroken but I couldn’t, not with my father watchful eyes staring at me. If I really wanted to keep her safe then I have to do everything the king wants. I still can’t believe she came here tonight. I admire her courage yet felt panic especially with the sort of danger lurking around. After the engagement was said and done, I hurriedly led lady Avril back to my quarters just so I could discard her for the night and go after Iris. "Your majesty, thank you for everything," Lady Avril said to me as soon as I turned to walk back out, which surprised me. I arched a questioning brow at her, "What did I do to receive appreciation from you?" I asked her. She strode over and stood before me, a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips as she held my gaze. "You kept your promise and h

    Otis POVI didn't know what to do when Henry came back without any information regarding Iris. I became even more restless and began pacing up and down my room thinking of any place she might be. Maybe she is just heart broken and needs some time to put herself together but I doubt she would do something like that without letting Agnes know about it.“fuck!” I groaned out in frustration as I turned to face Henry with clenched fist."Henry, summon all the servants secretly. They should be gathered in my study before I come," I told him."Yes your Highness" he said with a bow and left.Another minute passed before i head inside my study and I met all my servants inside as they stood in line with eyes casted on the floor."I know everyone is curious to know why they are here?"

I can’t really tell but after another minute of paying attention to the outside surrounding, I realized I was inside a moving carriage, jolting me up a bit."Where am I?, was I being kidnapped?” I asked out loud as I struggled into a sitting position. I knocked above me trying to get the attention of the coach man and truly I did after several attempts as I noticed the carriage slowed down completely to a stop.I noticed my bracelet was not in my possession reminding me of last night foolishness. It was really thoughtless of me to even

Is there something I haven’t realized yet or am I wrong to think those two are actually together.I mean, was she kidnapped and West went after the people that took her? That seems like something given the fact that he was her personal guard but still, I’m confused as to why he didn’t think it was wise to inform me about what had happened if that was to be the case.Too many questions and assumptions running through my head at this point, most of which was causing my blood to boil in anger.“Your Highness, what else do you want me to do?” Henry asked, pulling my attention again. For a moment there I actually forgot he was still in my study as I turned to look at him.“I need you to go back to the servant quarters and bring a girl named, Agnes for me”“As you wish, your Highness” He said with a slight bow before walking out the door.I reached into my poc

Because I don’t think anything I said was funny.The Logan I know isn't like this, he has always been gentle, cool, understanding and supportive."What happened to him?"

    Epilogue I pulled up my hair in a neat bun and glanced at my reflection one last time before I began to hurry around determinedly in search of son Nelson. I needed to get ready so I tricked him into hiding so I could search for him and so far, he is still in hiding and now I have to pretend to search him out even though I already know where he was. I waited a moment, listening for his breathing from around the room. “Found you!” I cried out laughing when as I revealed his small form hiding under the table, the skirt doing a really poor job in hiding him completely. Instead of trying to run, I pulled the child into my grasps in an affectionate hug and began to tickle him, causing him to laugh and giggle. “Let play again” Nelson requested sweetly, lifting his chin up to look at me pleadingly, his eyes, one grey and one crimson. His vampire side was far more suppressed so that he didn’t hold fangs and can walk under the sun without a protective ring like I did. Nelson was thankfull

So, after eating breakfast alone that morning, I decided to go see him in his study and just as I had imagined, he has a desk filled with paper work.At my presence, he seem to pause for a moment as he beckon on me to go to him. I hurried to where he sat behind his desk and he pulled me into his arms, a relief sigh escaping my mouth quietly.When we pulled a little bit apart, he reached out a hand to my still flat stomach and rub gently on it.“How are you and the baby?”I smiled, “We are doing good”“I’m sorry I couldn’t join you for breakfast”He said and I nodded before I lean in and brush his lips with mine before leaning away.I shrugged before replying, “I know you have work, your Majesty” I said teasingly and he chuckled before pulling me completely to sit on his laps.“Your family is coming” he stated simply and I hesitated, wondering if he was honest.“My

    I couldn’t even sleep as planned, My mind was replaying everything that had happened. I kept wondering what my mother looked like at least I know her name was Katherine maybe prince can tell me a little bit about them.I made my way into the bathroom and filled the bathtub before shrugging out of my cloth and slipped inside. I spent my time washing up in the bath before returning to the bedroom to change into something else and into bed once again.I couldn’t lie still as I rolled over on the bed instead of trying to go outside and meet the sun as it was still high up in the sky. More hours passed by before I heard the door crack open and Prince walked in. I sat up sharply, my heart hanging in my throat.When the prince hesitated by the door, I quickly got out of bed and began to approach him carefully. I took a step closer and stood before him as I looked into his eyes. They held something familiar. Something I had seen before but before I could speak, he beat me to it and spoke up f

On my way down the halls, I spotted a few people I recognized. Agnes was among them as they a good staring in horror as they saw us pass by.My heart raced in my chest as I looked for the Prince but something in my heart felt that he was far away from me as I was on my own.

    King Roman took a step closer and then reached out a hand to grasp my chin but I pushed away before he could but that didn’t stop him as she grabbed my face roughly before turning me enough to get a better look at my neck.“You have healed just fine. Not bad at all” he said before his hands dropped from my face and I let out a groan.“So are you going to tell him what my kind ever did to you or not? Since you had every single one of them killed then it must be pretty bad I suppose?”“Hmm” he said simply before turning away.“You have always been curious so I’m going to tell you a story" king Roman said.“During my young days, I became friends with a vampire king, we would do things together, go places together and even fight our bullies together. We were so inseparable that my parents and his tried everything they could to break us but it didn't work”“We grew up to the age of marriage and got married to our respective spouses and even had children.

I looked back up to see bloodshed around me, guards screamed at a single bite and prince was large enough to tower over them as he stood protectively over me.Heads and limbs were torn off from their bodies and their blows were bouncing off the Prince fur as he paws slide between them, none of them his match.I wanted to stand up, to run away but I couldn’t move and if I could, I wouldn’t be able to leave Prince behind. Suddenly, a much powerful roar in the room was heard and I dove to the ground wincing as I heard the new beast collided into Prince wolf and then I heard a high pitched cry as Prince was hit with the attack painfully.“Prince” I cried out, lifting my self at last from the ground and towards Prince collapse

    Iris POV. With slouched posture and head lowered, she continued to stared at the floor quietly. Her hands fidgeting with the hem of her dress even more. From the frantic beating of her heart, I could tell she was nervous about something. “Agnes? Do you really know where I can get my bracelet back? If you do please let me know. I really need to get it back” I asked again before lifting her chin up to stare into her eyes and in them I saw guilt, so much guilt and regret as tears had start to pool in them before spilling across her cheeks. "I'm so sorry, Iris. Please forgive me” She cried, holding on to my hands but I couldn’t say a word as I was pretty much taken back by her unexpected reaction and she continued. “I didn’t mean to take it” she said quietly, her voice barely a whisper. I didn’t even know how to react. I knew she was the only one that had access to the room but I didn’t imagine she had taken it. What could have been her reason? “Why did you take it?
