Javier“Sign here,”I threw the document at father. There was no way I could officially take time off as Prince without his permission.“Why? What are you up to, son?” he snarled.“Son…” I repeated at him, in disbelief. “…you do not get to call me that, Vladmir.”His hands trembled, the minute my darkness threatened to surface. This was one of the reasons I was taking time off. Ever since I woke up, the 21st century ways were foreign to me. I needed to learn, reboot, and use my knowledge in a comeback as King.“Fine,” he said. “The court doesn’t need you anyway.”His hands were fast to sign the paper, without looking at the conditions. That was exactly what I needed; his foolishness would cost him a lot soon.I smoothly took the official document from him. It was drafted by the attorney of the vampire court, which he suspected. I moved to walk out, when he stopped me.“Are you taking your wife along with you?” he asked, making me freeze on spot.My eyes narrowed, drawing closer. “What
MayaMy body suddenly felt weak and drowsy…It was strange because I only felt the hangover from the previous night. MATE. My head suddenly echoed, and Javier’s handsome face pictured in my head.That second, the Royal designer, Raven suddenly burst in my room while I talked with Delilah. She was in tears, mascara stained eyes, and bore a panting breath.“There is a problem, my Princesses!”I stood tall from the bed, and so did Delilah.“Raven? What is the issue?” My best friend asked her. She was out of breath and looked like she was having a panic attack. I drew forward, “Relax…”Those were my words, to her. For someone like me, who was familiar with panic attacks, I told her what to do. She followed it. Breathing in and out, while we waited for her to break the news that made her cry.“It’s Javier and Lannister…” she cried out.Raven narrated everything that had happened earlier, crying in between. How Javier revolted against King Vladmir, the best guard fled with him and how they
JavierI could hear discreet voices in background the minute I opened my eyes. Every nerve in my body hurt, and I fucking hated it.Thus, I seeped in my darkness, healing whatever it was that made me pass out.“You brought the dark prince, here?”“I had no choice; they were going to kill him. He’s like a brother to me,”That was Lannister’s voice. I could recognize it from any angle, but who was the other person? At this thought, I looked around only to see beautiful plants around. It resembled a Tinkerbell environment from Adira and Anahi’s movie.Green creeped around the room, in decorations that I wouldn’t deny was pleasing to the eyes. I sniffled the air, something smelled like my mate…“We are not even discovered. People think we’ve vanished for centuries since the rebel.” The other voice whispered. “What happens if they trace him here? That grouchy old man won’t give up.”“They won’t. I covered our paths and even led them to another track. They have no idea of your existence, tr
Maya My hands beheld the fluffy wedding dress I married Javier with. I stared at the bodice, with the thoughts on how I became bounded to him. The church bells… The dead congregation around us, to witness… It had been a strange wedding in the first place. “Miss Maya Sanchez,” The biblical Priest had called out, with some sacred book in his hands. “Do you accept Prince Javier Vasco Zapatero, as your lawfully wedded husband?” “In sickness and wealth, for better or for worse, in richer and poorer…” The Priest has said. “I do,” I had affirmed those words after a certain emotion lurked in my heart. My head, hazy… yet, it raced. I felt overwhelmed by what had been happening. And this was the same emotion that sneaked in my heart right now. For better or for worse? All shambles because I wasn’t even with him now. I wasn’t with Javier in the worst of times. He had to flee his own Kingdom and we hadn’t been in contact since then. Tears flickered my eyes, as I picked the gown up. My h
Katherine’s POV My room was empty and void. I had told my companions to wait outside because I needed this amount of privacy. For my important findings, I needed it also on the truth behind why I felt that way few days ago. My heart had raced, and I felt butterflies occupy my tummy. A little giddy, sweating in my palms, I was so uncomfortable around the King’s guard. “Goddess of the Moon,” I cried out to the crystal ball which had gem like mists in it. My room was known for its magical elements so this wasn’t new. “Show me the possible fate between myself and Fang, the warrior of the King’s army…” I knew I shouldn’t be doing this… Prying into his private affairs… but I couldn’t help it. Worse still, it seemed my liking for him was unrequited. Day by day, I became sick of our plain interactions. He seemed to have a respect for me as the King’s daughter. I hated it with solid passion. My hands beheld the crystal ball which positioned in the center of my room, my blonde hair was
[Back in Cithara]“Yah! Yah!”Just in the training arena, the security department practiced the art of fighting to improve their colony. Their fists were against one another, so did their weapons clinked and clanked against each other.Klyde, the hidden werewolf who lost his twin, watched them through the transparent glass of the training room.“Lovely sight, isn’t it?”Senora Savannah stepped forward, asking. Though most people had been reluctant for the stranger to stay in Cithara, her guts told her to help the outsider.“Not too bad,” Klyde smirked, folding his hands.Senora narrowed her eyebrows at what he had just said. This were her best men and she expected him to commend her team.“They are my best men. Do you have something to suggest or offer?” she asked.“My knees haven’t healed. However, I’ll show you, since you asked.” Klyde replied her, with a low growl from his wolf.He was a powerful Alpha blood but she didn’t need to know that.“Let’s go in, then.” Senora pushed the e
MayaDING! DING!My hands reached for my phone, only to read a message from Rufus. “There is a problem,” It read. “My mum is being secretive today; I know she’s planning something…”My chest tightened in anxiousness. My fingers swiftly begun to reply. “What did you hear?”“Be wary of the escort with purple clothing. That’s the color of the South Side.”I stood up after replying him, with an ‘okay’. I commenced pacing the room instantly. My skin connected with the ray of sunlight that shone from the window. It was intact, however, thanks to the sunlight. I stepped out of the sunlight’s kiss, removing my pendant.“Ouch!” I hissed in hurt, at the burning sensation, withdrawing my fingers. A knock resonated through the door and someone strolled in.“Maya,”I looked back to see Delilah in blazers paired with a white t-shirt and blue fitted jeans.“Hey…” I trailed, feigning a smile like I was okay. Her hands patted my shoulders.“We have to make a move now. I contacted Javier. He intends to
Maya“The banquet would be tonight,”I narrowed my eyes at the words of the escort with the purple clothing of the South Side. “The Queen informs me to extend her invitation personally,”Delilah’s brow arched, while I moved to take it. I also had a doubtful expression, but I tried my best not to make the made notice it. As I gripped the letter, Delilah asked,“Isn’t the banquet meant for the return of his son? Why is this still on?”The escort gave a mischievous and sly smile before replying. “The Queen plans on celebrating the new bride of the Vampire Court, Princess Maya.”“Huh?!” I couldn’t help that reaction.“I’ll get going now, she gave me invite for other important guests.”The door slammed shut, and I opened the letter immediately while Delilah waited in curiosity for me to read it.“You are cordially invited to the celebration of the new bride, Maya Sanchez. Don’t miss it for nothing.” The Queen.“W-What
