08 - The Unknown

Javier

I left my companera to rest the minute she fell asleep from the excessive weeping. I was fucking self-centered for not allowing her choose. Either way, she would have been a vampire in the end.

There were these thoughts in my head, as I reached Ambroz’s doorstep. His apartment was a few steps away from the palace, so were other vampire citizens.

I hit the door with an object, till I heard voices,

“Who’s that?” It was a womanly voice, which I guessed to be his wife. The door sprang open, only for me to be welcomed with the face of my ex’s sister, Claudia.

“Javier!” she exclaimed, dropping the basket in her hands, and leaning in to hug me. “You should have used the doorbell!”

I stood stiff, not used to being hugged by anyone. Scratching the back of my head, I was about to say something when two little innocent creatures ran towards me.

“Unca Jay, Unca Jay!!”

It was two little girls. Their tiny hands connected with my knees and they hugged me, pouting before gazing up. I narrowed my eyes, unsure of how to handle kids.

“You two little ones,” I stated, squatting to their eye level. Hoped I didn’t squash this. “What are your names?”

“I’m Adiraaa…”

“Mine is Anahi,” The first and second stated, exhibiting their little fangs without knowing they were. I chuckled, patting their heads softly.

“Not one but two, Claudia? Double trouble.” I mumbled, playfully while she smiled.

“Oh common, let’s go in.”

Claudia stated, ushering me in. The twins followed consecutively. My chin dashed up, sizing up their house which had comfortable and fleshy sofas, baby and children stuff with a large Tv.

There were toys scattered on the floor, which Claudia reached out for. “Sorry about the state of the house. These two are driving me crazy as it is.”

My ex’s sister looked happy, however, something lingered in her eyes. Couldn’t place my hands on what it was.

The twins took over their father’s hair, strawberry blonde. However, their eyes were the exact replica of their mum’s, which was almond brown.

“Daddyyy said a lot about you. Were you really locked in a box?” Adira, pouted asking. Anahi snuggled just beside me with her hands resting on mine.

“I was, but not anymore. Whatever you do when you grow up, avoid being restricted in a box. It’s a really bad place, do you hear me?”

They both nodded, firmly. Anahi took a hold of a toy fairy wand while Adira ran off, in her fluffy pink dress. “Mummy? I’m hungry!” she cried out.

“Anahi likes eating too much,” Adira whispered, giggling. “Don’t tell her I told you. Mummy says I shouldn’t say mean things but I can’t help it…” she trailed.

“Sometimes mean things scare people off. She’s right, Adira.” I said, patting her head.

“Are you really a prince?” Little Adira asked me.

“Yes. I’m a dangerous prince who doesn’t know what he’s capable of sometimes.” I darkly stated. That was the plain truth I just told this little girl.

“What are you capable of? Can you create a jar of candies for Adira?”

“Don’t disturb Uncle Javier, Adira.” Claudia stepped in the sitting room, saying. “Come and have your bath, you two.”

Adira ran towards her mum, winking at me. The child seemed smart, yet, still contained her childhood touch which was a good thing.

“Yo, man.” Ambroz walked in. “Let’s get going now.”

I stood up, stepping out with my best friend. While I was clothed in another color of the long jacket, he got for me, with a black turtle neck inner, his was grey pants and t-shirt.

His family seemed perfect and if not for my enemies, I could have wished for this. Kids? I couldn’t have them. I didn’t even know how to take care of my dog. That made me lose it…

“Your twins are cute, man.” I commented.

Ambroz did a searching motion. “Did Prince Javier just flatter me or am I in a dream world?”

“I’m real. You’re a hella lucky man,”

“How fantabulous, you could have yours though.” he smirked.

“Hell no. I don’t do kids. You know that.”

As I replied him, I walked ahead in a way that he won’t have to talk to me. “Wait up, you egoistical fellow!”

I grinned, increasing my speed. “Don’t even know how I became friends with you!”

“A crimson petal with droplets?”

I surprisingly let out, as I examined my bite mark in front of the dresser. My hands rubbed it softly, and I purred when I remembered Javier’s kisses on it. That felt so good for some reason.

“A necklace or pendant?” Delilah had asked me, before she left. She was going to a witch to create the sunlight protection for me.

“Why not a ring?” I asked.

“Easy to misplace.” she seethed. “A would-be Queen has to get the ultimate protection.”

I chose a pendant, after she explained. Delilah left while I thought of why someone like me should be a Queen?

Whenever I thought of the night I was taken, my mind wept for Julian. He didn’t want to follow me in the first place. Julian had warned me, but I had been reluctant. Look where it led me now…

“Hey, bride.”

Javier called out. He smelled like vanilla and a touch of death. His eyes were dark, his pupils in red as usual. Presence, was a fascinating and mysterious one. I noticed Javier looked handsome than usual. Maybe he changed his clothes?

Speaking of clothes, I was underdressed! Delilah seemed to stuck more of shorts and little nighties here. This piece I was wearing was a white night dress which revealed my cleavage and was far too skimpy for my liking.

“Turn around.” I seethed at him.

“Ah, I don’t bite, you know…”

“Says the guy that bit me without my permission.” I rolled my eyes, sarcastically stating. I moved towards the closet to wear something presentable.

Sleek hands entangled around my waist, making me freeze on my spots. As my movements paused, I could tell it was Javier’s hug from behind. My heart thudded in tenseness from how comfortable that felt.

In between my legs was longing…

His manhood pressed against me, while his jawline rested on my shoulder.

“Little lamb, I’m your husband now. Why don’t you admit your desire for me?”
