◼Rose POV◼
I couldn’t believe it. We couldn’t use our powers. I was stuck with the person I hated the most, and I wasn’t able to use my powers. Stuttering, I try to form words. Our mind control powers couldn’t work, but what intrigued me more was that we have the same ability.
Taking a step back, I look at him furiously. My monster was getting pissed, and I know I would snap any moment. The twitching in my arm was hurting. Every time my arm twitched, I knew my monster was frustrated, annoyed, or angry.
“You!” I said through gritted teeth.
“Rose…” Nikolas said as he approached me.
“Don’t fucking Rose me! I’m not Rose… I’m Queen Rose for you!” I said as I looked at him.
◼Nikolas POV◼ After Rose left, I stood in the middle of the living room. They left me alone. Taking a seat, I cover my face. It has become a shamble. I was so convinced I could finally be happy I thought I had to gain something. But fate fucked it up and played us. Half an hour later, Liam returned and informed me they prepared a room to spend the night. I didn’t argue because I required my man before, and it was already late. A servant came and told me where my bedroom was. Following him quietly, I look at my surroundings. This place was a beauty. Once the servant retired, I took a quick bath and went to bed. I needed to talk with Rose tomorrow. Closing my eyes and feeling the toll on my body, I fall asleep.
◼Rose POV◼ What was happening? I had to surrender myself to his kisses. Addictive kisses that had my body burning. There was this strange feeling in me I couldn’t explain. His lips were soft and warm. His expert kisses had my legs quivering. I pushed my tongue into his mouth, exploring every inch of this delicious man. I got distracted in kissing him; I had forgotten what my purpose was. Opening my eyes, I push Nikolas. Then, panting softly, I turn around and walk away. I was cleaning my mouth with the back of my hand. Reaching my bedroom, I close the door and lean against it. Gripping my hair, I yell. I needed to let out wh
◼Liam POV◼ When I found out that Rose came to eat, we went to look for her, but when we found her, I saw her and the king kissing. I felt a pain in my chest. It frustrated me, but I had no right to be. I could only see Rose as a sister, even if I got tempted sometimes. I couldn’t lie, though. Rose was a beauty to behold. She was her mother’s reflection. Many times I had the urge to tell Rose the truth, but that meant breaking my promise. I know it was something from centuries ago and no one remembered by now. But now, King Nikolas had asked me several times about Rose and me. So I was skeptical about telling her who she was. Waiting for them to finish, I see Rose walk away. Coming out f
◼Rose POV◼ Once I had stayed alone with the donors, I stood up and ordered them to undress. Checking the three donors, I chose one. He was a young human male, around twenty-two, blue eyes as the sky and white skin as porcelain. He had a slim but toned body. Long straight hair with a slight red highlight. A bad boy. He had two body tattoos—one tiger on his left pectoral and a snake down his thigh. My type. Smiling, I ask him to join me. I had ordered the rest to leave. I was spending my afternoon with him. I get ready for a short, torturing time. Thanking the donor, he leaves. He was a good fuck and an excellent meal. Somehow he had satisfied my hunger. Once I had my gear on, I headed do
◼Rose POV◼ After a long night with Jordan, I wake up with pain in the back. This man was a lot to handle. I barely slept at all. Changing into a red dress, I head to the dining hall. “Morning,” Renata said. “Morning, Where is Jordan?” I urged, taking a seat. “He is with Liam on the training ground,” Renata said with a smirk. Rolling my eyes, I eat. Last night Jordan suggested I marry him. Speechless, I could not give him a proper answer. I know Jordan cared for me, but I wasn’t looking for love. Even though he would make a wonderful king, I didn’t look at him that way. Sighing, I eat my f
◼Nikolas POV◼ I couldn’t believe what had happened under my nose. Rose had taken Charles as a captive. She dared to kidnap my right hand. If Rose were a man, she would have huge ox balls. I give her she’s brave; she fears nothing. I didn’t know her plan, but I feared for Charles’s safety after what she did with my servants. “Excuse me, Your Majesty,” one of my guards said. Nodding, he approaches my desk. Bowing, he sets some files. I didn’t ask for documentation, so what was all this about? Leaving me alone, I walk over and check the contents inside. Frowning, I look at the files. It was the information I have asked one of my hackers to look for. It was information about old clans that
◼Rose POV◼ A couple of hours ago, I had agreed with Jordan to be his partner. I had everything planned, what I wanted to do and what I would do with Nikolas. I was aware now that I couldn’t kill him, so I would have to lock him in a cell. Torture him and make him suffer. When I was getting ready, Jordan helped me. I was an independent woman. But today, Jordan offered to help. He was eager to see me in his dress. I know Jordan has excellent taste, so when I saw the dress, I love it. It was perfect. Once we both were ready, we headed to the ball. I was so excited I couldn’t wait to see everyone’s reaction once they know I have the amulet. I was finally getting what I want. What I have desired; power. When I let everyone know about the am
◼Rose POV◼ When I followed the blond chick, I perceived she was someone from the hunting association. From the moment I saw her dancing with Nikolas, I knew who she was. There were no blonde vampires. Now the bitch wished to run away after planting a damn bomb in the hall. She had ruined my night. Once I could capture her, I beat her up. Especially her face. I had caught her half alive. I wasn’t planning on letting Nikolas know, though. So I asked Jordan to help me and get some information. I know Jordan would get some and immediately. He was the best in torturing. We didn’t use our powers during the attack because we reveal what we indeed are if we do. Even though some hunters already know, they don’t know me. They must know about the queen of rogues, but not her name and who she is.

Rose POV I stood watching the men trained. My belly felt heavy. I was nine months pregnant. I was going to give birth soon. So for the last month, I’ve been stressed for the sole reason that Nikolas was not serious about our kid. The one-year-old prince was making a ruckus around the palace every day. Nikolas found it funny, but I find it undisciplined. Nikolas keeps saying I’m overreacting, but he was our heir, our prince. So he needed to learn how to behave well. My brother Eden says he’s still tiny and that I’m dramatic, but I want our future king to be better than us. Hearing a cheerful voice, I turn around and find Liam carrying the prince.
Nikolas POVAfter we returned to the party, both Rose and I had a tremendous surprise. Everyone present on the ball was bowing to us. Rose and I didn’t understand what was happening, but once the Prince of Asia came forward and said what was happening. Both Rose and I were speechless.Everyone knew we got marked, but I never expected that the Prince of Asia had planned all this. With a sigh, I saw Rose stand next to the prince and introduce him.Rose looked too familiar with him. Taking a seat at a table, Rose explained what had happened.“Before coming over, Prince Novak asked me for a favor,” Rose said.“What would that be?” I asked, intrigued.
◼Rose◼ Realizing what he just said, I blush. Nikolas was smiling at me in a way I’ve never seen before. Then, walking over to me, he grabs my hand and pulls me away. I didn’t turn to look at anyone. We walked for a while before Nikolas finally stopped. Slamming me against the wall, he hits his hand, making me flinch. Kissing me roughly, I try to push him. But it was so overwhelming that I gave in. My arms circled around his neck. Kissing him passionately back, I let him take control. That electric feeling spreading across my body. How have I missed his touch? Slowly, he leaned his body against mine. Making me moan. I could feel how horny he was. He wanted me just like I wanted him right now. But there was no time for this. Moving my fa
◼Rose◼A few days ago, I passed out because Nikolas's letter overwhelmed me. Liam and Eden were worried for me. It hurt, and I haven’t stopped crying. They tried talking with me, but I asked them to leave me alone.Now I had gone and visited the Asian Clan. I needed a distraction. To be away from here. So, preparing my bags, I ask Renata to join me on the trip. Liam tried to argue with me, but I scolded him. I didn’t want to hear anything from them.As we departed from our long trip, I kept thinking about the letter and his words. He was married. He quickly forgot about me. How naïve I thought that maybe time would make me accept him once again.Throughout the flight, I was silent. Renata tried to make conversation, but I
◼Nikolas◼Three years ago…I watch her leave like that. A coward was the only thought I had in mind.I fist my hands in anger. I wanted to stop her, to see her turn around and beg for forgiveness. But, instead, she did nothing. She just walks away.Heading back to the car, I remove the crown from my head and watch as we finally leave. That bastard’s body was disposed of. Making sure we left no trace of him.All the way back home, I felt the need to turn back and head to Rose clans. But just thinking about seeing her pissed me. I should have taught her a lesson. Frustration, I look at the crown and throw it against the seat. I hated it. Why did she
◼Rose POV◼ Three years later… “Let’s get our new recruits ready and have them trained in three months,” Liam ordered. “No way. What about the other?” Renata argued. “I said no, they have their duty. Also, they are to be sent to Jordan,” Liam continues saying, “Plus, remember he asked for the first, so don’t bargain with me.” Sighing, I stand up and grab a sword. Walking over to the new recruit, I explain what we will do. Renata and Liam continue arguing, ignoring me altogether. Practicing the sword has become one of my new hobbies. The movement that I require has been a help to my injured leg. Even though I stil
◼Rose POV◼ Somehow I had fallen asleep on the way. Feeling someone shaking me, I open my eyes and see my brother carrying me out of the car. I felt tired, the pain in the leg unbearable. So I let myself fall asleep in my brother’s arm. Reaching the bedroom, I feel my brother laid me down in bed. Let the tiredness take over. I fall asleep. My body was finally aching; I could feel my leg hurting a lot. I didn’t want to move. So, I decided it was best to rest. The following day, I woke up to the brightness of the sun. Sitting up in bed, I look at the mountains. It was a beautiful day. But, I felt something was different. Something had changed. A knock on the door distracts me from my thoughts. Letting the person in, I see my brother
◼Rose POV◼This was news to me. I was a being that held all the traits and qualities of our creators.“You know what’s worse. My own brothers didn’t wish to kill you. They had this stupid idea you would be what we needed, well too bad because I don’t need someone like you,” the bastard said.I was in shock. Was all this true? Or where this lies?“Lies, right?” I asked with my head lowered.“Lies? I wish, but it’s not,” the bastard said.I started laughing out loud. But, my goddess, was all this true then?“What the fuck are you la
