His voice, his scent, the warmth of his body, all filled my senses and made me unable to think clearly. Before I knew he was carrying me to our chamber, and then laid me down on the bed. Bed? Wait, no!

He lay down next to me and when I tried to get up, he put an arm around my shoulders and held me down.

"Lay still and let me hold you," he said, taking his arm away from my shoulders and putting them around my waist instead.

"Why?"

"Because I like holding you and you like it when I do that" he replied.

"And how would you know?" I said, a teasing lilt to my voice.

"What? You don't like it?" I was afraid that if I said I liked it he would want to take it to the next level, but I didn't want to lie either.

"It's... alright" I said cautiously, a shy smile making its way to my face. He grabbed my chin and made me turn around to face him.

"Is my touch just alright?"

He let go of my chin and traced with his fingers down my neck and up my shoulder, removing my robe from one side. My pulse quick

    "You are not the only one who wants to treat someone well," I said, ignoring the pain his grip caused. He looked at me for a while. The flames in his eyes slowly dying and their color becoming golden again. He let go of my neck and looked down as if regretting what he had just done. "You should... take your shirt off," I said. Walking back to the bed, he ripped his shirt open, showing a perfectly toned stomach and chest. The muscles in his arm twitched as he lay down on the bed. "Are you just going to stare?" he asked. Embarrassed I hurried to the bed, sat down, and started cleaning his wounds. This was horrible. The wounds seemed deep and they would probably leave scars on his back. It must have hurt a lot. Was his family always so cruel to him? And I had thought my family were too cruel. I wondered what his childhood was like. Was he always like this? Rejected by his family, bullied and punished? He must have been so lonely. "Why are you crying?" A tear fell down my cheek. Am I

    "Hazel! Hazel!" Lucian called, his voice filled with pain and agony. Was he in pain? No, he couldn't be. I couldn't be hearing this, but I heard my name again "Hazel". Maybe all this wasn't in my head, maybe he was calling for me. I climbed down from the bed, put my robe on, and stalked out of the room. "Where is His Highness?" I asked two guards walking through the hall. "I am sorry Your Highness, but we can't tell you. He doesn't want to be disturbed." Disturbed? So I would disturb him? Of course, he was having fun with his mistress, and here I am worried about him for nothing. I decided not to worry or care anymore and went back to bed. Opening my eyes with a yawn I scanned my surroundings. Lucian was sitting in front of the mirror and a maid was combing his hair. Her fingers caressed his cheek and neck when she tried to gather some strands of his hair. I could see that she didn't touch him accidentally, she was doing it on purpose. Disturbed by her action I climbed down from

    A shiver went down my spine. The way he said it and the look in his eyes told me he was serious. "Why are you shocked? If I can beat you and kill you then why not burn you?" My throat went dry and I couldn't bring myself to say something. Sighing, he stood up and left without a word. I didn't see him for the rest of the day. He didn't come for breakfast or lunch and when it was time for dinner I asked one of the guards where he was. "His Highness went on a business journey, he won't return until tomorrow," He explained. Even if he was angry, he should have told me. Yet another night I slept alone, but instead of feeling relieved, I felt lonely. When I woke up in the morning the first thing that came to my mind was Lucian. Was he still on his journey or had he already arrived? "Has his highness come yet?" I asked the maid while she combed my hair. "No your highness" I sighed in disappointment. What if he was still angry and decided not to come? A knock on the d

    "Watch you back. Death is coming."Is this note written with blood? Oh, God. "What are you doing here?" suddenly Lucian was in the study."What is this note?" I asked. "It's nothing," he said taking it from me and putting it back. "Is someone threatening you or is it a joke?" I asked worriedly. "It's nothing you need to worry about," he said grabbing my wrist and dragging me out of the study. He had a worried look on his face which told me that there was definitely something going on. "Did you like my present?" he asked before I could ask any further questions. "Yes, but why? I thought you were angry with me" "I was and I still am," he said leading the way to the dining room "sit down and let's eat." I did as he said. He had that aura that signaled danger again. He sat opposite me and when our eyes met I could see flames in them, they weren't calm. Something was definitely different about him, maybe there is something to the rumors. "How did you bring Helen and Isla?" I reall

    I sat on the bed waiting for Lucian to come after eating dinner without him yet another night. There were a lot of things we needed to talk about but I didn't want to fight with him again.Because that's what you think about me. You think I am a beast who beats and kills people then you would think that I can burn them as well right?His voice echoed in my head. I never thought of him as a beast I just thought that he was different. He looked hurt before walking out of the dining room as if he didn't want to see me again and I wondered if he really wouldn't come. Would I have to sleep alone again? I didn't even get the chance to thank him for bringing Helen and Isla.I decided not to sleep alone and go look for him. I looked everywhere but couldn't find him. Where could he be? "Do you know where I can find his highness?" I asked a guard. "He is in the barn, Your highness." I made my way to the barn where I found Lucian feeding his horse. It was dark inside and the only light came f

    What just happened? Only a taste of her lips and he could feel his demon wanting to come out. He only felt like that when he was really angry, then his demon would come out to punish whoever enraged him. As time went he had learned to control his anger and keep the demon in check. It has been a long time since his demon wanted to come out so why now?Take her! She is yours. She belongs to you. The voice inside his head commanded. "Is something wrong?" Hazel asked confused as she walked closer to him."Don't come close!" he almost yelled wrapping his arms around his body. He could see hurt in her eyes but he didn't want to hurt her like the time he set his brother on fire. Everytime his demon wanted out he did bad things.Hazel turned around and started to walk away. She was probably angry which he could understand but how could he explain. He couldn't even go after her he needed to calm his demon down first.*******Tears filled my eyes as I walked away. It was my first kiss and he w

    I lay in the bathtub as Helen washed my hair after Lucian had left to let me sleep some more. I knew she wanted to ask something but didn't know if she should, so she was silent. "He kissed me," I said. Her eyes sparkled. "Really? Finally!" she said, "How did it feel?" "It felt..." I remembered when our lips touched the warmth that spread through my body and when our lips separated the emptiness and coldness that came with it. I wanted more, "It felt good," I said."But you just kissed nothing more?" she asked. "No," "Don't worry there will be more," she said. "Helen?" "Yes, my lady," "How does the first time feel?" I asked. She sensed that I was worried it would hurt and that I wouldn't like it. Just the thought of being naked in front of a man made my cheeks burn. "Don't worry. I am sure his highness will be gentle since he seems to care for you" she said reassuring me "trust me, no man would have waited so long for the woman to agree. He would have taken you whether you li

    Lucian gazed down at Hazel as she blushed, and he couldn't help but bring his hand up and caress her pink cheek with his thumb. Heavens knew how much he wanted to lean down and kiss her. She was tempting him with this red dress and her bare neck and shoulders. He had been surprised and relieved that he hadn't forced himself on her last night when his demon was in control. Seems that his demon craves Hazel as much as he does the only difference is that his demon doesn't care about Hazel's feelings while Lucian does. "Are you alright? I heard that the king is unwell" she asked worried. He had almost forgotten the big problem he had to deal with when he saw her. "Hazel, I want you to pack some clothes, we will leave the castle". He didn't want for Hazel to stay another minute here. The king could die anytime and he knew that he would be the one to be attacked first, since his brothers hated him. Hazel looked confused at him "I will explain everything on the way" he said "now hurry!".O

    I laid in the bathtub filled with hot water, thinking about what the guards had said about me. I shouldn’t have slapped Lucian in front of his men. It was disrespectful, and still he hadn’t got angry with me. He was asleep when I came back to the room, so I asked a maid to prepare a hot bath for me. The hot water was soothing, relaxing my tense muscles until it felt like a massage and in a moment it made fall into a deep sleep.I woke up shifting in the bed. The soft satin sheets rubbed against my skin and I realized I was not wearing much. I quickly sat up on the bed and lifted the sheet up. I was only wearing a towel, my shoulders, legs and thighs were bare. It took me a moment to remember that I was taking a bath earlier and fell asleep and now I was here. How?A sound made me look to my left. Lucian was sitting in a chair, a glass of wine in his hands as he studied me with those extraordinary eyes. He was the only one who could have brought me here, which meant that he had seen me

    Klara kept glancing Lucian's way as we ate our breakfast, while the King and Lucian spoke informally with each other, which surprised me. The King was willing to help Lucian as they were already speaking of how to win this war. I only feared he would ask for something in exchange. Something bad."You should stay here until the King dies, then we will take action," the King said. As if waiting for someone's death was a daily occurrence. "Rasmus? can you stop acting like a King at least until we eat our breakfast?" Klara asked.Rasmus, Klara, Astrid: their names sounded northern. "Of course" Rasmus smiled at his sister. "We have a party tonight. I hope you can attend after you have rested," he then said to me and Lucian. "Of course" Lucian replied. "Astrid, why don't you take them to a nice room. I am sure they would like to rest."I was so tired, but as I laid on the bed next to Lucian all I could do was ask questions. "You seem to know Rasmus pretty well," I began. "Yes," was a

    We rode swiftly through the woods, leaving my father behind—disappointed that he had failed to make me stay."Are you sure you want to come with me?" Lucian had asked before we left. "Your life will be in danger."I had already made up my mind. I would rather live in danger than feel like a dead person. But that wasn’t the only reason I refused to stay—I wanted to be with Lucian.Now, as we slowed down, Lucian turned to me. "Feeling alright?""Yes, I’m fine. I think I’m getting used to it," I replied, feeling slightly exhilarated from the ride. "Where are we going?""To Gatrish," he said.I stiffened. Gatrish—a kingdom known for its wars, slavery, and prostitution. Its king was infamous, a cruel man with an insatiable thirst for blood and an even greater appetite for women. It was said he took a new wife and concubine every day, that liquor, parties, and debauchery were as much a part of his routine as breathing."Are you sure it’s a good idea to go there?" I asked, wary."I know thei

    "Ah, the wounds? They healed," he said simply, pulling the robe over his shoulders."That's impossible! They can't heal that fast, and even if they did, they would leave scars," I argued, still trying to make sense of it all."Well, they healed, and they didn’t leave scars," he replied dismissively. "Now, your father is waiting. I need to get going."I stared at him as he walked into the bathroom, my mind racing. Not possible. That was all my brain kept telling me.After bathing, dressing up, and getting my hair done with the help of the maids, I made my way to the dining room. Lucian had already left—probably not wanting to keep my father waiting.As I opened the door and stepped inside, a heavy tension filled the room. Father sat at the head of the table, while Mother and Lucian sat across from each other along the sides.No one was eating.Lucian’s hands were clenched under the table, his jaw tight. Father's expression was stone-cold, filled with displeasure. Neither of them even n

    We sat leaning against a tree after Lucian told his men that we should rest for a while. I knew he was doing it for me. "Where are we going?" I asked. "To Maebeth. To your family." He was going to ask my father to help in this war between brothers. "Will you really kill your brothers?" I asked carefully. "Yes" he said without hesitation. I shivered at the thought. "Even your nephews?" he clenched his jaw and closed his eyes, then opened them again."I won't have to kill them because my brothers will." Why? They are just kids. Why kill your family for the throne? That's something I could never understand. Standing up "we should continue" he said. We continued our journey, and I was thankful that Maebeth wasn't far away from Decresh, so we reached there at night, after riding the whole day. My three brothers were the ones to welcome us. They spoke mostly to Lucian, ignoring me totally. I wasn't expecting more; we were never close. Our family always separated men and women. While m
