He hesitated for a moment, obviously as shocked by the king request as I was. My eyes looked into his confused ones before looking down at my feet once again, my own panic starting to skyrocket at this point.

From their conversation, I already know he doesn’t like me because he believe I’m human. Imagine if he finds out I’m what he absolutely hates. The only of what might happen is enough for me not to want to be left alone with him.

“But Father” Otis began to protest.

“No but. If she is going to become a part of this family someday then I think I have right to want to speak with my future daughter in-law alone. If your mother were to be here, you know she would have requested the same thing. I will give her back in no time, so go on and leave us” He ordered sternly.

The prince eyes darted from his father and to me, obviously feeling reluctant to leave me alone but went ahead to nod at me briefly as though to assure me of my safety before bowing in farewell to the king and slowly re

    “would you like to go home to your parent?” The king voice resounded in my head yet again and I paled. My whole world suddenly coming to a stand still. The breath in my lungs halting in my throat as well with the King unexpected question.Do I want to go home? Of course yes but the thought of the Prince is the only thing keeping me from screaming out those very answer out loud.I inhaled deeply and let it out through my mouth before my eyes went back to look at the King’s expectant ones. “I miss my parent very much and it would be real joy for me to see them again..” I said quite truthfully, my hands going to finger my necklace gently as I spoke.“..but I think it would be better to stay here with the prince”.King Roman continued to watch me with kneaded brows as I said those words without interrupting and then not responding when I paused for a second.“Besides, he wants me here with him and I think he is right. My parent used to tell me, this is what people do when they fall in lo

    CravingI woke up slowly the next morning for a start with a momentarily confusion, not sure how last night went after I got back to the Prince’s room. I let out a loud yawn and had to wrinkle my nose at the attack of liquor in my breath.Aside from the bad breath, my head seem to hurt a little. I glanced down at myself and found that I was still in my dress from last night and even more, lying on the Prince’s bed.I gasped and jerked away when I noticed his shirtless form sleeping beside me. His mouth slightly parted as he lay sleeping still. Not wanting to know if he was naked or not, I carefully untangled myself from the heavy sheet on the bed before crawling out of it as well, still careful not to wake him up.I hurried into the bathroom and towards the sink and splashed some water on my face. The ice cold water jerking me awake even more as I was left staring at my reflection in the mirror. The pin holding my hair together had fallen off and leaving some of it to fall over my fac

    “I need to see my friend again” I said breathlessly.His brow furrowed slightly in confusion, “what friend are you talking about?”“Her name is Agnes. She was taken from my village as well. Please let me see her again. I just want to be sure she is fine”He shook his head at me, “That’s not going to be possible. Most of the slaves had already been sent off to their potential owners and getting your friend back is not going to be possible, I’m afraid”“But you are the Prince. I thought as such, you can get anything you want as well” I said sounding desperate.“That's where you are wrong, Iris. I may be the prince around here but there are some lines I can’t cross regardless and that includes getting your friend back once she is sold out. It’s a total breach of contract so you will have to ask for something else”I shook my head slightly as I move to seat by the corner dejectedly, tears starting to burn my eyes as well. For a moment there, I really had hope of seeing her again but I gue

    I followed Helen with hitched breath and I was led through large hallway until we stopped before a set of closed doors. She stopped expectantly, waiting for me to enter on my own.I paused and inhaled another breath then lifted my hand to push open the door by the right. Prince Otis sat within the large study room with a small smile plastered on his face as he looked at me.I stepped towards him hesitantly, my eyes locked to his as a part of me recognized a rare familiarity that existed between us. He lifted his hand for me beckoningly as I quicken my steps more to take it.“Iris?” Prince Otis said simply as I take his hand, the warmth on his palm starting to spread through me like wild fire.“You ask me?”“yes, I have a surprise for you “ he said firmly.“A surprise?” I asked hesitantly and I he answered with a nod. Just about then, the door open slightly and a guard walked in and beside him was Agnes, her gaze casted to the floor beneath her I could still tell it was her from her wi

    It was extremely hot outside as the sun was at its highest peak up in the sky while the prince and I wait patiently by the front porch for his guest to arrive.It wasn’t long before the carriage carrying Vena rolled over and stopped before the Prince and I at the entrance and I literally braced myself with my fingers still intertwined with the prince’s. Another minute went by before a tall slim woman with beautiful tan skin came down from the carriage.A huge smile broke out on her face the moment her gaze fell on the Prince as she came running towards him with open arms while him on the other hand stood just as rigid by my side still. she came to a pause before us before her brown hazel eyes dart back to look at me momentarily, her earlier smile quickly morphing into a weak frown.She arched a brow at me, “Who are you?”Before I could answer, the prince beat me to it. “She is Iris, my girlfriend, and you are the King’s guest, so I expect you to behave as such”Her frown dropped at hi

  • IRIS: The Human Hybrid   His Obsession

    After his warning about the King, I reluctantly changed out of my dress into something less heavier. A white gown that was as soft as cotton and revealing way too much as well before climbing into bed, in an attempt to hide myself under the sheet.I watched with heated cheeks as he also changed out of his attire and into a loose pant with no shirt on before crawling into bed beside me as well, warmth immediately spreading all over my body at his close proximity. I tried not to stare back at his beautiful abs even though I could feel his own eyes trained on me. I’m afraid if I did, he might just see my silly thoughts through the windows of my eyes.“Take off your necklace. I want to see your eyes in the dark” He ordered in a low voice and I almost blushed just thinking about his obsession with my vampire eyes since he saw them. I can tell it’s fast becoming an obsession.I gave a nod and pulled my hair out of the way before proceeding to take it off while he turned off the light just a

  • IRIS: The Human Hybrid   Breakfast With Vena Locks

    I followed the male guard to where breakfast was to take place completely lost in my own thought. When I finally arrived, Lady Vena was already seated and sipping tea from an expensive glass delicately, her beautiful brown Hazel eyes moving to stare back at me.Lady Vena looked far too beautiful in her golden gown that accentuate her breast perfectly.“I’m sorry if I kept you waiting” I said quickly as I felt her eyes on me before I pulled out a chair and sat quickly, my hands folded on my lap nervously.“Hmm” was all she replied with a look of irritation flashing through her eyes.Choosing to ignore her, I glance over at the servant serving breakfast and she came with a cup of tea and place before me while I quipped pleasantly. “Thank you”I took a sip from my cup before glancing at Vena who lifted hers to her lip as well without taking her eyes off me. Placing back my cup on the table, I cleared my throat slightly before facing her.“Is something wrong with my face? I mean, I can’t

    “Yes, it will hold in two days” The king continued and I clasped my hands together nervously.I have never been allowed to attend any party before or much less have one organized in mg honor. The fact that I don’t even have an idea what to expect beside what little descriptions I have read in books is making me a whole lot nervous.What if I went along and something bad happens and my true nature get revealed?“I will escort you, so there is no need to worry” Otis suddenly said, interrupting my mild panic as though he could read my mind.“Okay” I said with a small smile and he gave me a smile back.The king and Lady Vena watched our little exchange wordlessly before my eyes wandered back to the various food placed at our table. There was so much food on display that I doubt all four of us can even eat half of it.The sight of roasted duck, lamb stew, pastries, baked bread and more wine is enough to feed a whole community. Lady Vena sat to the king’s left and I sat at the Prince’s righ

  • IRIS: The Human Hybrid   Epilogue

    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

  • IRIS: The Human Hybrid   The End

    Since my family arrived, I had spent most of my time with them, trying to catch up with things that had happened at home after I was taken. Turns out most of this villagers felt betrayed by what my parent did while most still sympathized with them, after all, they also know what it feels like to loose their children to become slaves.While we talked about all that had happened behind me, we also talked about my life here in the palace and all that had transpired this past few months before their arrival. The welcoming ball was scheduled for two days after my family’s arrival, mostly to give them time to rest and adjust to the new environment and surprisingly, my parent adapted rather quickly.The next night was a bit of stress as u was being fitted for my dress. A gold dress with jewel of diamonds that Otis had gifted to me specially for the occasion.Once I was ready, I thanked my maids and then stepped out into the hallway. Henry was there, standing before my room diligently. I fl

    It has been a week since Prince Otis became the king. He has been so busy with palace affairs that I barely ever saw him. 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

    “Unbind and bring her out, it’s time to go” The King ordered and one of the guard unlock the shackles around my feet binding me to the chair as well as my hands and I let out a relief sigh before I was pulled back on my feet.Still feeling weak, I crumbled to the floor before I felt two strong pair of hands grip my arms on either side and lifted me back on my feet to follow king Roman out the door.With two guards holding me on both side with enough force to cause bruises, I wondered how strong did they think a vampire actually was. 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. I felt afraid when I thought of the Prince, my chest feeling tight and breathless.I was escorted out of the building and into the carriage wapiti outside with the king following from b

    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. Then that was when he showed his tr

    Iris POVMy eyes widen as they start to advanced further with their blades towards us and I dropped to my knees in response before they'd reach me.Just as I did, Prince quickly transformed into a large beast diving over me and attacking the guards coming towards me. 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

    (Otis POV)There an intense heaviness in my chest as I stood beside Lady Avril at the center of the arena surrounded by guests and of course, my father the king who was sitting at his spot, his cold eyes not so cold at the moment but glistering with what I could only term as joy.I bet this moment has been in his imagination longer than anything he has ever thought of. Everyone else has a look of fulfilled expectations on their faces.Not once did I imagined that my life would turn out like this. I don't want to marry the woman standing beside me but I had no choice. I wanted to stop the wedding but couldn't. I can’t even look at the face of the woman is who is about to be mated to me. I know she was happy and full of smiles and didn't even care about my expression nor feelings. She just wanted to be called my wife and be the next Queen Luna. My eyes searched around the hall, hoping to see Iris but she was nowhere in sight. When I got out of bed this morning, she was still asleep.

    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?
