last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

'Grand dinners were one of the important shows of affection.'

That line of the book still stuck to him.

It was an embarrassing thing that he had gone to the library to pick out a book titled 'Ways of the Heart' after a very calculative search.

It had been a turtore to read the book but he put himself under that turtore anyways.

He had read the whole book and assimilated it all.

280 pages that it was.

A grand dinner was one of the unmistakable options the book had suggested, and he had prepared all that.

He adjusted himself in his chair.

This black suit was hell. It was very uncomfortable, he preferred his robe. He had also sent a dress to her and he a small part of him hoped that she would come in it.

That had also been one of the steps to earn one's heart in the book. Sending the lady a beautiful dress.

Ah, what if she thought all this was stupid? What if it made him look stupid.

Like an absolute idiot.

Gwen would have to get the full wrath of his anger if things turned on him

    "How do you intend to spend your time moving forward?""I don't know." She picked up her knife, cutting the piece of her meat slowly. "Maybe I might find something of interest moving forward." Her fork clinked against her plate at the end. "Do you like dinners, your Majesty?"He stiffened, an action by him he was the only one to notice. Sha was asking him a question!The book said that was a good sign.It meant she wanted to know about him. Maybe this dinner wouldn't be so terrible after all.Maybe they were making a headway in their relationship.Oh, wonderful. Being kind was paying off. "Tolerable.""Is it your favorite?"His hand move to stealthily tohis fork, trying to not look so rigid and a bit occupied to give him more time to think of a response. He was usually fast, his delay right now must be because of his scent filling her lungs and fogging his senses, it must be this sudden attention that was putting him off his game.It made him a little tense, a little on edge, it

    "George is a born Alpha. As little as he was, he was ready protect me, protect any survivor and that was me." She popped another piece of meat into her mouth, not really tasting or savouring it, just eating because she felt a need to keep her mouth busy asides from how she was already using her words to rip his heart apart. "He said he would be beside me all the way and he was. He protected me. We were destined to be together right from the beginning and we didn't even know back then." She said, watching him as he stared back at her icily.Yes, she was getting the reaction she wanted. The dagger she had dug into his heart had not hurt hin, she knew but this should be doing something, showing him one quarter of the pain she was going through."George is a wonderful father and the only husband that I would ever have." She paused, taking in a breath. "When he thought that I would never have a mate, because of what the witch said, he was willing to be mine and for me to be his, without

    Her words stunned him. Either distracted him from the pursuit of her or justified her reason to be let go. She didn't know, there wasn't a way for her understand the workings of his selfish mind.It didn't even matter whatever his dubious mind worked out, as long as he wasn't standing her in way or going after her anymore.She bolted out of the garden.She wouldn't be fooled and bought over by a fancy dinner. Not in this life or even in the next, if that even existed.*** Be more kind.Be more kind?BE MORE KIND?!Then why hadn't it worked?!His claws snaked unber his goblet, thick brown claws clicking against the bottom of the golden cup as he raised it leisurely to his lips and sipped the red thick liquid. The taste almost the same as the one he had some minutes ago, with an almost lacking sense of life. Lacking almost all sense of life was a common feature with sealed and preserved blood. Part of him missed when he had rich drinks bustling with life. When his Father and his wit

    Gwen paced around the alleyway of the castle, her eyes furrowed with worry, while her mind tumbled with many thoughts.She had heard about how the dinner had gone and she knew it hadn't gone any better. The King had not summoned her but she was waiting for her certain doom. She knew it would come and when she finally got summoned this time, that would be the end.She was so deep in thought that she didn't know when someone walked down the hallway and stood behind her, until the person called her name. "Ha! Lady Delice!" She asked, placing a hand on her chest. "You scared me.""Are you alright?"Gwen shook her head, holding Lady Delice's hand, her lips slightly trembling, her eyes welling up with tears. "No, Lady Delice," she cried, resting into Lady Delice's arms that willing went around her. "I'm doomed."Gwen was quick to tell Lady Delice about her predicament, her fears and her dread. "...all I am waiting for now is to lose my soul. I just hope my family will not suffer for thi

    "You are in a relationship with someone?" Delice watched how she tucked the phone away into her pant pocket. Laura hardly used that phone. This moment was strange for many reasons. "Who?" "That? It's not important." She flashed her a fanged grin, before they retracted. "Come, let me fix your hair for dinner. If we are lucky, the King will show up. If not, I will have to come up with more creative ideas to break you my brother's schedule." Laura walked over to her, observing her. "You've been out." Delice nodded stiffly, running her hand through her hair. "Where?" Her voice was determined, filled with a silent threat. Her hand held Delice's left arm, her grip painfully firmly. "Where?" Her smile was fanged again, but Delice didn't try to pull away or put up a fight. All she had to do, was answer her question. Laura wouldn't be mad if she had just answered her question the first time though. If this was quickly getting out of hand, then if was entirely her fault. "Where you

    The smell was intoxicating. She wanted to use her wolf speed but the pain jammed into her bones, and she fell to the floor with a thud. The sudden movement must have jolted her brain, the pain of the burning mark momentarily easing away, her logic rushing back to her, like a veil being lifted up her face. The first rain of the green forest. Enticing. Filling. Desperate for more. This aura.It rushed into a lungs, sent tingles down her spine, sent sparks dancing across his skin. Her body was betraying her, she hated it anytime this happened, hated it anytime her body allowed it.She looked forward in the dark and a realization dawn on her.Wherever she was headed, it was certainly the King's room. Zezi slowly rose to her feet, turning away in the dark and lonely hallway. Anger rushing to her veins when she remembered what he had said to her some time ago. That she would be the one to come to him and beg him to be taken.What a despicable creature.And to think that she had almost

    It was almost as if they would never get there. Zezi was losing strength in her legs as she trod through the bushy path of the forest she had decided to take to stay hidden, her hands aching from how many times she had to push long branches aside in order to keep moving foward. The branches were wet and they wiped across her cloth, leaving green and brown stains behind. The forest smelt of damp moss, the floor beneath her was a little muddy, her boots leaving prints behind. Had it rained?At a point, she had almost shifted into her wolf halfway, despite the risk that would be involved if that happened.It was already hard enough to hide her scent and her heart beat in human form, but in her wolf form, that was just ten times as hard. In fact the moment she would slip into her wolf form, barely seconds would pass by before her scent would be all over the place like a broken dam, her heart beat like thunders in the rain, deafening the ears.So she tried hard to remain on her two feet,

    Zezi pulled back immediately, her back firm against the tree she was hiding behind.Her mind was racing with different thoughts.Had Lady Delice just been kidnapped?! Were her attackers still around here?Scared but still logical, Zezi moved backwards on her fours, before she bumped into someone who yanked her up by the neckline of her dress, claws burying into her skin like sharp needles, blood red eyes staring back into her blue ones, a deadly growl from a fanged mouth.Zezi was quick, her fingernails shifted into claws and she went for the neck of her attacker, but before she could make her mark, she found herself been thrown back with force, her back slamming right into the tree she had been hiding behind a moment ago. "Lady Zezi!" Lady Delice called out, her voice a little high pitch with surprise, as she staggered back, while her face morphed back into it usual gentle state. Then she moved towards Zezi just as instantly, rushing to her knees to help her but stopped short at th

    Regret threatened to overcome her but this was not the time to think of her past actions and question herself as to why she had made those decisions without thinking properly. Every second was important and she would not waste of by dwelling on the past. If her assumption about the White Circle was right, Zezi knew she would need the help of everyone she could get, and to test Lord Rosil, she had asked her if she really didn't want her head for killing her son."I totally understand if you do. What kind of mother wouldn't want the head of her son's murderer?"Well, it seemed like she had hit a nerve because, after that, Lord Rosil had plenty to say. "The kind her son wanted to murder. That silly boy thought draining my blood would give him magic, then gave his sister a hard time because she had orchestrated my escape. Sometimes, it had felt like he was two vampires, stuck in one body. He has one that played the role of a Governor perfectly, and the other that displays just how much

    "It is different." Zezi finally declared and Lord Rosil frowned, taking a step closer to her. "Are there any other bonds you know of that could be mistaken as a matebond?""No... This..."Zezi shook her head. This wasn't the time to get overwhelmed by sadness or Lord Rosil's stuttering answer. This was the time to get her head straight and think probably.Lord Rosil snapped her fingers like she had just gotten a groundbreaking idea."Well, of course, it is different! Both of you are different." Her green eyes glinted with excitement at her coming explanation and for that brief moment, Zezi remembered Gwen and missed her. "The King is a Soul Seizer and you, are his mate."Zezi nodded, waiting for more, there just had to be more. "And?""Your Majesty, the King had to make a really big sacrifice to kill his father." Everything somehow felt a little quieter to Zezi, and all her focus zeroed in on Lord Rosil as she approached her. "Only self-sacrifice could kill him and he made that. He s

    Had Akeem also been taken by the Volakys?That was what Zezi started to worry about when she still hadn't gotten a message back or seen Akeem and it was already some minutes past midnight. She had also gone to the library to check on him, but as expected, his seat was empty. The library had looked untouched by the chaos going on the the castle, it felt peaceful and Zezi lingered around longer, hoping to walk into Valerick.He had said his mother loved the library, and she thought that he was probably here to find peace in that knowledge.But no, Valerick wasn't here either. With a long and heavy sigh, Zezi stood up. She should probably ask Delice if she had seen Akeem, it was good to confirm everything before jumping to conclusions. She wouldn't want to report anything and arouse suspicion regarding her relationship with the librarian, if things turn out differently. Zezi didn't want more walls thrown between her and Valerick, they already had so many problems to deal with at the m

    Zezi's heart was pounding with regret as she ran up the stairs of the castle at an unfathomable speed.Why had she left to watch the execution in the first? She should have never left. She should have never convinced herself that she needed to be at the Execution for all the reasons she had thought it was important before. Right now, they all felt very useless.George and Aunt Alice had stayed behind to be with Mira. Not like they would have been allowed to watch the execution, not like they wanted to either. Gwen had stayed too.Oh, by the Moon, Zezi hoped they were all okay. She screeched to a stop right in front of her daughter's door, flinging it open as fast as she could. Her eyes combed the room and horror seeped through her veins at what she found... or rather what she didn't. Mira's bed was empty. George and Aunt Alice were nowhere to be found, along with Gwen who was...Wait!George and Aunt Alice were on the floor, unconscious. Zezi ran to them, accessing the situation

    Valerick looked unmoved and it was hard for Zezi to figure out what he was feeling through the bond. His side of it was still blocked.This was frustrating!She was sitting right by his side but it seemed like a whole wall had been thrown between them. Her attention moved to the Princess, who sat upright, her gaze unmoving from Riza as she clocked her claws together. Zezi wondered if she had poison beneath them, and mentally noted to herself not to get too close to Laura no matter what. She couldn't be trusted right now. But then, when was she ever worthy of trust? They were all unworthy.From the other corner of Zezi's eyes, she watched Lady Delice's reaction. The Royal Advisor kept a calm demeanour but something about hers and Laura's aura were off.From what Zezi could deduce, they were scared that Riza was going to talk about the White Circle.That made Zezi curious. What about the oath she had made before joining the White Circle to keep their business secret? Everyone had

    After that, Zezi had gone to see Delice. She didn't even have to share her suspicion, the Royal Advisor had beat her to it."Just be vigilant," Lady Delice had said, as they hurried away from the den, and up the stairs. "I think there is more to this than we know, I will ask Laura soon." Leaving Lady Delice, she had ran into Akeem, whose path she had blocked. His eyes which were originally filled with worry turned into those of attack but she refused to move. Instead, she pulled him aside into the Hall of Statues. So much was going on in the Castle lately, their presence here would most likely go unnoticed. "She turned you, didn't she?" Zezi said the moment the door was shut behind her. "But something had been different in the process. That is why you are different."Hope lit in Zezi's heart. Maybe she would be able to get what her daughter was before the tests would be conducted.Maybe her daughter was just like Akeem. Akeem's face shadowed with secrecy. "I don't know what you a

    "I don't have it. I gave it away.""To whom?"Her eyes found his, it had only been for a moment before she looked back at the King, pleading."Please, he didn't do it. He didn't mean it--""Who did you give it to?""Oliver. I gave it to Oli, my mate.""It was a gift of trust." Oliver stood up from the chair, his eyes twinkling with the glint of the ever-present humor. "I didn't even use it. I didn't do this, I didn't do anything. Tell them, Laura!" He ended with a smile. Rage blazed in her eyes, seamlessly mixing with helplessness. It was such a sight. Beautiful."You did it."His smile dwindled."I know you did it and that is why things haven't been the same between us.""Things haven't been the same between us because I spent a night with Riza."Gasps filled the court at the implied reference to cheating. It was a scandalous thing and very distasteful thing to happen between mates, fated or chosen. It was an act deserving of punishment.How hypocritical these vampires were, Zez

    "What gives you the audacity to put a royal Pureblood in these filthy chains?!" The Princess's voice rang through the hall, bouncing off the walls, her glare directed to the guard that had just dragged her in and pushed her into the Accused box.Raising her head, she accessed her surroundings, a formation that seemed so high, that it made her feel like she was in a pit, with iron railings camping her. On the high chairs on her left side, different Lords were seated, while on her right, the Governors along with her sweet Delice, Oli. Behind her were the people.Wait!Next to her brother was that fur bastard whose existence was an absolute irritation. This was the Royal Court of Lavida, what an absolute disgrace it was to be in this box. Laura felt repulsed by everything. "You stand in the presence of the King and Queen of Lavida, Royal Adviser, Governors, Lords, and the people, to speak in your defence against the accusations that you are the one behind the Volakys attack!" That br

    Valerick was nowhere to be found and even though she didn't want to, Zezi started to panic.Until, she had met Nicholas who told her that the King had to attend to other pressing issues that had more priority than "chit-chatting" with her. When she asked about Mira's health, he tried his best to seem reassuring but Zezi could see straight through his lie.Dr. Nicholas didn't know if her daughter would ever wake up. It was strange. If she really was a vampire, then why was she at the risk of dying without the Volakys venom ever being in her veins in the first place?This just didn't make any sense. "She has been starved for too long. Years! I don't even know how she had survived this long. My guess is that she is some kind of hybrid and that other part has been the one keeping her alive, and the overworking has been killing that part of her. That is why she is always sick. It will be a medical breakthrough to get to the root of this."He had declared in absolute excitement."My daug
