My hands trembled as I looked from the king towards Prince Dan. He was casually leaning against the throne. His eyes narrowed when he noticed my hesitation.

“Do you need help taking them off?” he said mockingly before the king lifted his hand towards the guards and they quickly pulled out their weapons at his wordless command before they start to approach me.

My legs almost gave up on me as I stood under the spotlight with everyone closing in on me like a scared little deer, waiting to be hurt.

Still starting at the king, I did as I was told and took it off. King Roman looked unmoved unlike Dan who have a look of disbelief in his eyes as he stared openly at me. It took almost everything within me not to laugh out loud at the expression he had going on right now.

    I couldn’t keep track of time while being held in that chair. For a while, I could feel a sense of pain that was almost numbing and at the same time draining on all level. I wonder if Prince had returned and if he knew I was in danger of getting burned to death as soon as the sun shines in through that wall.I kept comforting myself with thought of the Prince over and over again. Was he back and looking for me or did he already know where I was and was coming to rescue me.I thought about the king too. If he could see me getting burned by this shackles, all his doubts will be gone. He'd let me burn without a second thought and Prince would not be able to do anything to save me from the hands of nature.I squirmed and groan under my breath as another wave of pain surge through my ankles after I moved them slightly. I haven’t seen Logan since, prompting me to wonder where he had been.Was he hurt as well? Or looking for me as well.At this point? My mind was swimming with endless though

    I yelped in pain as my back made contact with the hard floor, with air getting knocked out of my lungs just as much. Otis wasn’t down for long as he was momentarily distracted by my cry of pain.Dan saw it as an entry point and had attacked Otis with an incredible force, both their claws slicing furiously at each other throats with growl and grunt.Logan had regained consciousness at this point and had dragged himself to leaned against the wall.Otis had Dan in a choke hold against the wall before he twisted under his hold, with his hails digging into his chest, causing him to let out a loud roar.Despite my despair and pain, I struggled back on my feet and leaned against the wall. My legs still trembled in fear but most of the wound had stopped bleeding since but was still sensitive to touch.Dan had his nails digging bitterly into his chest as he continued to fight to rip out Otis heart. As if on instinct, the pain in my legs were gone. I didn’t even think, I just reached down and g

    I sluggishly walked back into my room with heavy steps and a bruised heart. If I were to be told that my happiness will be out lived this way, I would never believe it. I don't need a soothsayer to tell me that it is over now because it obviously is. Even if our engagement was fake, I never believed it would end this way."What would happened to me now" I asked myself as i leaned on my front door as soon as I got to my door step. I looked around but didn't see anyone in sight. I reluctantly opened the door of my room and went inside. I quietly closed it back and slumped to the floor as the tears I was trying to hold back start to flood down my cheeks.Regret and pain coursing inside of me. Had I known, I wouldn't have taken that drastic step, but it wasn't really my fault, I only wanted to make him leave us alone, I couldn't bear to see him get hurt because of me. if I didn't intervene, he would have killed him without batting an eye which would have been worse.

Wondering who might be banging on my door. I got up reluctantly with a yawn before walking towards the door. I pulled it open and saw the head maid standing outside my door with a distasteful glare on her face."Good morning," I quickly greeted with a slight bow, but the head maid didn't care to respond to my greetings, and continued staring at me with hate and disgust which made me a little nervous and I quickly looked away. Deep inside of me, I quickly realized that this was how it was going to be for the rest of my life after what happened yesterday. I sighed quietly with sadness and looked up at her."Why are you still standing there?" she asked me after the long silence."You earlier knocked on my door which indicates that you want my attention, that's why I'm still standing here," I replied, looking her straight in the face

You are not fit and qualify for that duty yet you may leave," she said coldly."Yes ma'am," I replied and walked back to my position with a sad expression. I quietly waited for other maids to be through with their chores. When everything was set, Dancia assembled all the maids in the kitchen and chose the maids to serve breakfast at the royal table. Even though she already refused me, I still waited to be chosen but to my disappointment, she chose Agnes instead of me.I bite my inner cheek as I stood staring at the floor. Agnes who had noticed the look on my face walked up to me and stood beside me."What's bothering you? is it the engagement?" she asked me, I nodded and looked down."I know it’s hard but it is not in your power to do anything. You just have to accept what is about to happen," Agnes said to me, her voice barely a whisper."I know but

    I watched with hitched breath as Lady Avril continued to lock lips with the prince for another minute more than necessary. Fresh tears threaten to stink my eyes but I swallowed down the lump in my throat and sniffed it back.I couldn’t breath for the life of me. I was stunned and feeling weak around the knees not to mention how jealous I was becoming with each passing second. I was completely rooted at the spot as I stood by the corner like a ghost.I let out a breath When she finally pulled away from him before apologizing to the king for the unwarranted show of affection. To be honest, it was a complete sight for sore eyes but the king doesn’t seem to mind or he wouldn’t be smiling at the both of them at this point.She sat gracefully at the spot besides him that used to be mine.“Welcome Lady Avril. Glad you could join us for breakfast at the Royal table” The King said, his voice booming with happiness.“Thank you, your Majesty, for inviting me. I’m truly honored”Another minute pa

You and I can only be friends and besides, I still love the prince," I said honestly."I don't mind waiting for you," he replied with a smile."No, I mean I love the prince and have always seen you as my best friend and brother and I don’t think, that’s ever going to change," I told him."I have faith that you would reciprocate my love some day and I'm willing to wait for that day to come.

    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

    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.

    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

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?
