Katherine’s POV “I'm a terrible person, aren't I?" My hands clenched my attire, with a saddened expression. Maya's humiliation was something mum planned from the start. She made me do stuff to her, and punished me when I didn't do them. Not that I cared for her, something beneath my soul didn't feel right, especially when she ran off... “I was so unkind to her. The Goddess of the Moon would surely hate me!”“My Princess,” The head escort came forward, saying.She handed me a handkerchief to clean my tears. “Try calling on our Creator, the Death Goddess. She will sooth your worries on the missing Princess,”“The Death Goddess?”I shrugged. “She was unfair to me.”With a stern face and snort, I dropped the hankie sitting on my room’s sofa. Picking my hair brush in my hands, I combed through my silky hair as the escort gasped.“I don’t think it’s right to speak of a sacred being that way, my Princess!” she gasped. “Please do not say this outside of this walls or I will be punished d
[Back in the Palace] “Mum! Mum!!” Prince Rufus exclaimed, angrily barging in her room, only to discover his mum wasn’t there. “I wish to see the Queen this instant!!!” The Vampire escorts looked surprised. Reason was, Prince Rufus was known to be playful and cute in words. He rarely got angry to this extent and was one of their favorites. “Your Highness,” An escort rushed inside, saying. “The Queen is currently with Princess Katherine.” Why had he barged in angrily? What was his aim? Prince Rufus, the step brother to Javier Zapetero, had successfully discovered that his mum was responsible for Maya’s disappearance. No one had the guts to confront the Vampire Queen. Scratch that~ the Witch Queen, as her blood wasn’t a true vampire’s. Everything the interrogation department found, was directly linked to her. This included the invitation letter she made the missing Princess touch. The letter contained a sort of paranormal magnet that lured her to the lake… “This woman has a way o
JavierOur findings made us know Maya was currently in the sea. I didn’t even wait for the ghosts to finish. It meant she was being held captive and I was going to rip apart the sea if I fucking had to.They had to provide my mate or that meant war. The palace wasn’t safe for her, so I’ll carry her to the Elven Kingdom for now. My sister would be fine. She knew how to handle herself.“You’re just gonna dive in? Don’t you get goosebumps thinking of what could go wrong?”At Lannister’s comment, I smirked, taking off my jacket and my shoes and handing it to him.“My darkness has so many capabilities.”Those abilities seemed to improve, the more I used them. That was definitely why the Elders were insecure. Unquestionably why father decided to end me.“Keep watch till I get her—”“My Prince!” He rushed forward, ducking at me in respect. “The Sea is a vast place, you might want to re-consider another more favorable decision..."His shiny black hair swayed with the wind, and I eyed how dili
Javier “She’s my mate.” I affirmed those words, possessively, the minute the Elf woman was trying being a bitch. “A Mariner is a vampire’s mate? Does shooting stars rain too?” she let out. I balled my fist, clenching my teeth to unleash my darkness on her. Lannister noticed this, stepping forward. “She’s not an enemy, Lady Elf—” “And yet her clan tried to wipe us off centuries ago?!” Her eyes bolted angrily as she exclaimed. “What new thing also happened? Did the Dark Prince recover his memory too?” “That’s not…” I trailed, scratching my neck knowing that was a fully blown lie. “I grew in Cithara!” A look of amusement occupied my features immediately, with an arched brow at what my wife was up to. Lannister also had a confused expression, as she stepped forward in her light blue dress. Wished I could rip it and claim her… “My parents died when I was seven. They were also affected by the calamity the Mariners sent.” Tears flickered her eyes this time. And that fucking hurt me
Maya My hands ran through his hair as he took my lips, biting it softly. I bled a bit, yet, it felt pleasurable… even as I returned the favor. “My wildling…” he murmured, stroking my hair. Javier’s hands directed mine, once more to his mark. “Use your lips on it, suck it baby girl, I’m all yours. Your fucking territory.” With the piece of knowledge, he just gave me, I claimed his neck extending my fangs and nibbling a bit. He moaned, turning me on even more with his heated gaze. This crazy dark prince nudged my core with his hardened tool. He made back and forth motions, through the piece of material like he was fucking me. It made me lose it and I yelled so hard like I had never, in my entire life. “Mine.” A different part of me voiced those words out. Don’t know if it was the vampire or marine fragment. But I sensed destruction, the minute it surfaced. Javier grazed his teeth from my collarbone till my boob top. His hands cupped my bare breasts dangerously coaxing my nipples
JavierNo matter how hard headed I was, I couldn’t deny there were certain people I missed back at home. There was Ambroz, his amazing family, I missed my sister, and step siblings. I wasn’t much of a big brother to them, but there were reasons for that…Their mum’s influence on them was something I noticed fervently. After my birth mum left, I had a different way of thinking centuries back. Maybe they triggered it. The same people who made me feel like a curse because of my fucking darkness…“You’re a fast learner,” The lecturer came forward saying. I started this way to growth, by attending their Elven classes.“Thanks,” I smirked, knowing I kept some fake ears to blend in and avoid rumors. “Honored you think so…”“You should be promoted instantly. I’ll make a motion for that.”My darkness immediately seeped in at his words, as I frowned at him. Their class, was advanced. It taught what other species learnt in years, in months. This was my advantage.“I’d rather continue at a slow p
Maya Javier hadn’t mated yet with me. He had respected that I wasn’t ready and that captured my heart’s attention. Maybe he was a good person beneath the toxic vampire male he posed to be. According to Delilah, this was so hard for a vampire as powerful and audacious as him. And I was a bit nervous… because what if he channeled it all to another thing? “Why are we here?” I asked, looking at the magnificent Great tree in front of us. I didn’t have a good memory of here. The last time we were here, I was accused of being a Mariner. I was a Mariner Princess. They didn’t know that, but I wouldn’t like being accused of what I know nothing about. “There is something I never told you or anyone, baby.” Javier whispered, interlocking my hands with his. “Oh what?” Silence overrode the air for an instant and I narrowed my eyes at it. Suddenly, I saw flicker his eyes. The minute it surrounded his entire gaze, I wriggled my brows wondering what was happening. “There is a reason for my dar
Javier I told Maya my missing truths. I couldn’t open my broken parts to her, and my flaws but starting from somewhere seemed fine to me. Couldn’t deny my childhood shaped me in the worst possible way. I lived my whole life as fucking devil. For centuries, my vampire combined with darkness and designed a shitty part of me. “Are you okay?” she asked, still in the dress I wished I could rip and take her in. Her hands laced with mine, snapping my thoughts to reality. I stared at her, smiling a bit, “Yeah, sure…” As if an entity jeered my memory, Katherine’s words were back in my memory before I could fucking think. “I’ll protect you, mate. Those are the damn dark prince’s words.” Her eyebrows arched at my words. “From the palace again? I thought we’ve being through this,” I forced a smile, taking the lead by wrapping my large hands around hers as we sat by the tree. Maya having a dark destiny was something I felt guilty of. Because before whatever, she had been okay before she
Javier These children... They were innocent and frail. I didn’t want to put my misfortune on them, so I tried my best to act kind. “We are fine, but we are so scared, uncle Javier.” They said. “We want to leave this dark place. Can you take us away from here, please...?” I squatted, turning on even a bigger light which was more beautiful. It illuminated the room brightly, and they said, “Wow, it’s so beautiful!” “These are the rarest of times darkness turns to light.” I said and they nodded making me pat their head smiling. Couldn’t even remember the last time I smiled. It was like I channeled the hurt of losing my mate to my darkness. I also wondered how my new born would be right now. I couldn’t even support her in the crucial moments. Not that I didn’t try. I had three submarines in the water which I used to wait for her every day. “We love it!” They exclaimed. Love? The last time I experienced that feeling, all I felt was abandonment… “Come on,” I took their hand
Maya’s POV “I’m gonna name her Ivory if she’s a girl.” “And, if otherwise?” “Ronan-“ “You have to save her and the baby!” I heard Javier exclaim. Seemed like Trixie was in the room with other physicians. “I will do my possible best-“ “Maya!!” someone burst in the room saying. “Oh my God, what happened?” Delilah’s voice faded into background as I heard, “Hand me the defibrillator!!” “And, goodness could someone call Katherine? Her moon powers might just be what we need!” “Maya... stay with me!” Javier’s voice shuddered as I was unconscious. This, was worse than a sleep paralysis... I could hear voices and I couldn’t do anything about it... “We are losing her!” Someone burst into the room. “You sent for me, what’s the issue brother?” Something wet connected my skin, as someone shuddered. I realized it was my mate. My husband, the man I wanted to be with. He was… aching at my state. My hands fisted as I struggled to stay awake and not die. “Her torrent of energy was
Maya Something about knowing that made me entirely happy. “About time,” I muttered, throwing one at her without wasting no time. She sidestepped it, swimming rapidly towards me. “Do you really think that could stop me?” “I’m not sure but I’m gonna try anyway!” I exclaimed, throwing the second torrent to her. She formed a defense barrier with the staff and as she did, I immediately gathered everything that I could. This time, I merged the two of my hands together propelling the energy towards her. I had to no time, that I was sure of. In fact, any move I made a mistake in, was going to be the death of me and my child. “Urrghh!” As she approached me, I did the same too, “Yahh!!!” Twirling some elements together, I slowly weaved it styling every drop and essentials not forgetting to snake it around her. I had a vampire blood; thus I was swift than her. Hence, she clenched her neck once I hit her. At the same time, I blocked her move with a defensive shield. The Queen gurgled a
Javier Just as Maya left, I cleared whatever I had to. At least she didn’t get to see the darkest part of me, which I didn’t want her to. “Our King... saved us!” Someone yelled as everything, including Kathleen vanished into thin air. I nodded at Lannister and Fang who stopped fighting too. “Long live the King! Long live the King!” As they said those words, I looked around until something stirred in my heart. “Where is Delilah?” “And... Katherine?” Fang came forward saying. “Rufus isn’t here too.” A flashback came in my head at Queen Zoraida’s word the other day I claimed the crown. “You don’t know what’s coming.” My hands quivered with my mouth, knowing she definitely partnered with Kathleen. It also meant Vladmir had escaped which wasn’t good in one bit. “We need to find them now!” I was quick to exclaim those words and immediately a thousand vampire guards were lined up outside. They commenced to search for them all, when Fang’s Dragon suddenly flew into the palace aren
Maya “Come with me.” “To where?” “Just come.” “Then what happens when mum comes out?” “Ruin.” Following the visions, I saw were the blue rays as we inserted the torrent of our energies to save the Queen. A strong wind blew each of our hairs. “I-I can’t hold off anymore, it’s getting too strong!” “It will work soon, we just have to hold off for a couple minutes…” I said those words, because my torrent was stronger. As a royalty, I was blessed with a flow of advanced energy. It wasn’t the same for her though, because she was just aMariner without noble blood in her. “Things put to sleep are put there for a reason.” BLAAASTTT! An explosion resonated through, bringing down the stones that surrounded the place. It happened in a swift of an eye as my mother awoke, zapping in my best friend’s energy. “Nooo!!” “Mum, what are you doing to her? Please stop...” But, she didn’t. Even when her face was grey and lifeless. I sobbed at the sight of my friend, struggling for life. “…
“R-Rufus...” Delilah trailed out, moving to hold Katherine who was the nearest to her. “Teleport us from here, please.”“The Lords sent me here, because you dishonored our agreement and aren’t all in the location you said you’ll be.” The terminator was entirely fast from the way he handled his gun shooting the piercing silver in the skin of Vladmir.“Honey!” Zoraida exclaimed, in hot tears.She knew she had no time; thus, she chanted some spells which caused buzzing flies to surround the exterminator. That was enough to distract him making Rufus crawl hurriedly to his father.“Everyone, gather around father. Quick!” They hurriedly used the last of their energy doing as the Prince said. Instantly, Rufus teleported them out of there. They landed at the shore of a vast sea which spread across several acres of land. Katherine disconnected herself from her mother who currently held her, moving towards her big sister who was engrossed on the white sand. “You brought us to the shore?”“It w
[Somewhere in the Palace]Meanwhile, Kathleen the leader of the hunters, popularly known as the Lords had sent her men to release the people, she partnered her mission with.Among them was Queen Zoraida who patiently waited for them to come get her. As soon as her prison was unlocked, she smiled wickedly saying, “About time.”She stepped out of her cell, suddenly feeling rage locked up in her chest with an attempt to get rid of all the people that put her there. “Where are you going?”One of Kathleen’s hunters asked, as she made her way to the section of the Royal hospital. “To save my husband. They locked him up too.”She hurriedly barged into each room searching for Vladmir. Feeling weary, she used her witchy chants and some spells to search for him and when she eventually found him, he was sitted on the bed. “My beloved...”The King looked at her proudly. “We did it. We were able to deceive them into thinking they were winning.”She ran to hug him, ignoring the confused expression
Maya “I can’t fucking believe this.” Javier said. After checking that day, we realized I had been pregnant all along. I had been expecting for three and the half weeks, and didn’t even notice. “Me too.” I replied him, smiling with tears envisioning my eyes. His hands covered my hand as we sat on the throne seats, side by side looking ahead to the vampire citizens that celebrated with us. “I’m gonna name her Ivory if she’s a girl.” “And, if otherwise?” “Ronan-“ “My King and dearest Queen, we would like to take permission to commence the celebration.” In the dark and gloomy hall, the event planner said. “Sure, of course. Begin!” Javier exclaimed, and I nodded to. We were celebrating two events today. My birthday, and the fact that I was with a child which was good news for the vampire clan. “As you wish, your Highnesses.” “Why Ronan or Ivory?” I pouted as the planner walked away. “Don’t I get to choose the names too? How fair is that, huh?” He chuckled, reaching out for a goble
Maya “I want to bite you again,” There were darkened veins underneath his eyes. Somehow, that made me see beneath his soul. His entire being, the person who he was. “Can I mark you again?” I nodded at him with my eyes locked in his entrancing eyes which flickered over mine. “Yes, sure.” He peeled the black satin, a little lower kissing my shoulders then spreading across my breasts. The dress didn’t require a bra so it was just the material separating us. “Mon bebe,” “Amore mio.” I replied him smiling, as his fangs elongated. I could see the pleasure in his eyes as he bit down my neck while I cried out in desire. He licked his lips tasting my blood and withdrawing since I was just recovering. All of a sudden, a sneaky idea sprung up in my head. I found my vampire pinning him down with a dominant expression in my features. He smirked at my movement, like he was astonished. “What are you up to, wife?” “What do you want?” I spread my hands around his inner thighs asking. He hissed
