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
