My Dear Prince of Darkness Chapter Eleven: Irritation
Feeling a wave of dizziness wash over me, I laid on the cold stone floor, closing my eyes."We should get you to a healer." Wilson said, his voice laced with worry. "Just to make sure you're alright.""I'm fine." I muttered as I waited for my head to stop spinning. "Nothing that a good night's sleep can't cure."Even with my eyes closed, I could sense Wilson's worry as he remained in place. I didn't know if it was genuine worry for me or if it was fear of Elias' reaction. Deciding it was probably the latter, I opened my eyes and sat up."See, I'm okay." I insisted while standing.Even though I was trying to feign being alright, my body didn't want to cooperate as I stumbled forward, only to be caught by Wilson."I am taking you to the healer." He insisted, trying to help me remain upright. "This isn't the actions of someone who is okay."Too weak, I couldn't argue with Wilson any further as he wrapped an arm around my waist and began helping me out of the room."WHAT ARE YOU HELPING HE
My Dear Prince of Darkness Chapter Twelve: Why are you here?
It took a week for me to be released from the infirmary, and within that entire time, Elias hadn't come once to visit. Even though I hated to admit it, I couldn't help but find myself feeling disappointed. I knew that it was a good thing that he was keeping his distance; after all, the less he was around me, the fewer chances of trouble there were. However, I couldn't stop myself from hoping.Wilson greeted me happily as I made my way out into the hallway. It seemed that Elias had at least sent him to escort me back to my room."How are you feeling now, Miss Valerie?" The old man asked as we began making our way to the servants wing.Examining Wilson I couldn't help but notice that he looked extremely pale and had dark circles underneath his eyes. Healing bruises littered his cheeks and neck."What's wrong?" I asked, unable to contain my concern. "Who did this to you?""Nothing is wrong." Wilson insisted smiling, even though that smile didn't reach his eyes."You look exhausted and are
My Dear Prince of Darkness Chapter Thirteen: Memory Fragment
Elias' sweet venom erupted within my veins, sending me into a state of complete and utter pleasure before he led us towards the small bed in the corner of the room. Moans escaped my lips as he pushed me down and immediately began to undress me. It seemed that he had in fact come for blood, among other things."Nathan and Zach are just outside." I tried as Elias' skilled hand found its way to my swollen and awaiting clit."You dare mention other men's names in my presence." Elias growled, roughly shoving a finger into me. "Does it look like I give two shits if you're heard?"Arching my back, I allowed a much too loud moan to escape my lips as he inserted another finger and began to move them in me."Sorry..." I gasped as he quickened his pace, intentionally building me up until I was crashing into a powerful orgasm. "I'm sorry!" "You're so sensitive." Elias smirked, removing his hand and bringing it to his lips so that his tongue could begin to lick my juices from his fingers.Panting
My Dear Prince of Darkness Chapter Fourteen: Siren
Ice-cold water pressed against my skin as I snapped completely back to reality and spurred me to begin to struggle in an attempt to free myself from its hold before the creature drug me any deeper into the water. I couldn't help but wonder exactly where my guards had gone and how they had allowed this to happen. However,I wasn't going to go down without a fight with or without them; I needed to break free soon."Just give in." The creature cooed, flashing its sharp teeth at me. "There is no one to help you now."I could feel that it was attempting to use its enchantment on me, but this time I was mentally prepared. Keeping focus on the cold around me, I remained focused as I grabbed the creature's wrists and twisted until its grip on my head loosened before finally letting go completely.Using my opening I swam upward, kicking out with all my might against the creature's face, causing it to wail in pain and propel me forward until the top part of my body exploded through the water's su
My Dear Prince of Darkness Chapter Fifteen: The Kingdom of Allsbrook
"The Kingdom of Allsbrook is a vast kingdom with many different creatures."Keeping to his word, Elias sent Wilson to my room early the next morning to begin my lesson. The sun had barely risen, and I wasn't in the best of moods after nearly being killed the day before, but I had asked for this, and there was no saying no."Some of the creatures aren't much to worry about," Wilson continued now, keeping his gaze fixed on mine. Since he thought it would be better that I could see the creatures for myself, he had me mindlink with him until he was ready to show them to me. "Most live in the forests beyond the castle walls. Only those who roam into the off-limits areas have to worry."As his words drifted to me, I could see the area beyond the castle's walls begin to appear in my mind. The perpetual night sky and the much-too-large blood moon cast a red glow across the snow-covered ground, giving the area an eerie feel.Fields of black roses and poppies appeared next as I flew through the
My Dear Prince of Darkness Chapter Sixteen: Lets Have Some Fun
"Why are you here?" Maria demanded as her red eyes flashed. "You don't belong in this part of the castle!"Trying to control my raging heartbeat, I took a breath. "Wilson was giving me a lesson in his study." I tried to explain. "I was just heading back to the servants quarters.""Lesson?" Maria repeated as if it were a dirty word. "You seduced my brother, and now you're doing things behind his back with that old man?"Maria's words were like a slap in the face to me. Did she really just insinuate that I was going around seducing all the men in this castle? She had to be fucking kidding me."Watch your mouth." I growled as my anger began to ebb. "I haven't done anything of the sort, and I won't allow you to speak of me that way."As I spoke, a growl erupted from the man that I had initially run into as his hand shot out and wrapped around my throat. Gasping, I grabbed his wrist, trying to get him to let go."No one talks to the princess like that." He spat, now leaning down close to my
My Dear Prince of Darkness Chapter Seventeen: Rage
"Do you truly think holding back your screams will make you look good?" Maria giggled as she lashed out again and again. "It doesn't change the fact that you are a disgusting human!"Laughing, I continued to remain quiet. I didn't know what this vicious woman wanted from me, but one thing I did know was that I wouldn't give her the satisfaction of me begging for mercy or crying.Biting my lip hard enough to taste blood, I endured her beating.As she grew more and more frustrated, Maria intensified her lashes. It seemed that my silence wasn't what she expected, and it was making her angrier."SPEAK!" She screeched as the whip slammed against my skin. "Beg me to stop! Show how weak and cowardly you actually are!"Clamping down on any words that may want to come out of me to argue, I remained silent, allowing Maria to continue with her assault until she grew bored.Breathing heavily and covered in splatters of my blood, the angry princess stormed out of my cell, leaving me still cuffed ag
My Dear Prince of Darkness Chapter Eighteen: Another Memory Fragment
"PRINCE!" The healer's voice rang out around us. "You're going to kill her!"For a moment, nothing happens, but finally, seeming to realize exactly what he was doing, Elias' face softened ever so slightly as the crushing pressure I had felt seconds before disappeared.Sucking in deep breaths of air, I closed my eyes, waiting for the black spots to stop blocking my vision and the dizziness to subside."Thanks." I gasped as I continued to fill my body with the oxygen it had been deprived of.Shooting Elias a glare, the healer went back to his work, cleaning my back and sewing up the deeper whip marks. Once done, he stood back, wiping his forehead with a blood-covered hand."All done." He announced proudly taking me in. "Give her about two weeks to fully recover; during that time, avoid strenuous exercise and avoid dipping the wounds in direct water.""Sure." Elias murmured as his gaze continued to take in my tattered back."Do you want her to stay here for a few days?" The healer asked.

My Dear Prince of Darkness Chapter Seventy Five: Return Home
That evening, in the dead of night, Tristan appeared, escorting a single Griffin. He seemed slightly nervous, and I wondered just how much danger he was putting himself in to help us."Are you sure this is okay?" Elias asked as he took the creature's reigns from him. "Won't they notice one is missing?""I have a plan." Tristan smirked."Okay," Elias murmured, holding out a hand. "Thank you for all your help, my friend.""Anytime." Tristan beamed. "Just try to stay out of trouble, got it?""Sure." Elias chuckled.I could feel tears beginning to prick at my eyes from the warm send-off between the two men. I couldn't explain it, but to see Elias having someone on the other side that has his back made me feel a little more at peace with the fact I could leave him at any moment."I'll see you when I see you, then." Tristan announced taking a step back. "Hopefully next time will be under better circumstances.""We can only hope." Elias agreed.With that, he turned and grabbed my waist. A sma
My Dear Prince of Darkness Chapter Seventy Four: Escape
For the next few days, Elias and I laid low in the cabin that Tristan provided for us. Each morning, he would bring us food and a change of clothes and then disappear for the rest of the day, leaving us to our own devices. It was a good time for us to grow closer—much closer. It was also a good time for me to tell him a bit more about my past than I now remembered, starting from when I was born to the time I was murdered.I knew that it pained Elias to hear these things, but he listened quietly and didn't ask many questions. Likewise, he told me more about his past, like the time before the curse. Back when he was a happy young boy, the king wasn't so strict and smiled more. It looked like we were a pair of ruined souls that somehow managed to find each other despite the difference in universes and time."You awake?" Elias murmured on the morning of the third day.I was, but I was still thinking about everything, including the fact that I hadn't told him that I was slowly dying. As tim
My Dear Prince of Darkness Chapter Seventy Three: Confession
"Listen." I said, slowly sucking in a breath. "I know maybe this sounds ridiculous, and honestly, it could be highly offensive towards you.""Offensive?" Elias repeated, lifting a brow. "What exactly is going through that head of yours?""I can't help but wonder if it is me that you care for or my blood." I said quietly, feeling the blood begin to rush to my face.There, I expressed my biggest worry. It was now out in the universe, and I couldn't take it back. I could only hope that I wasn't ruining the moment entirely, but before we proceeded, I had to know.Lifting my eyes, I met Elias' unreadable gaze and found myself wishing that I could read his thoughts. I wanted to know what he thought. I wanted to know how he felt about what I had just confessed to him."You think..." He said slowly, clearly trying to get his thoughts together. "That I would possibly mistake my feelings for you for an addiction to your blood?"Flinching, I realized just how bad what I had said sounded. Of cours
My Dear Prince of Darkness Chapter Seventy Two: Doubt
I felt a shiver rush through me at Elias' sweet words and tender touch. It was definitely going to take a lot for me to get used to him being like this."I think I will go find a healer." Tristan said slowly, drawing my attention to him."You don't have to." I said, quickly blushing ferociously. "I'm really okay."I was okay, truly. However, I wasn't going to be okay. I had almost forgotten what I had been told about slowly dying. That meant that eventually I would start to show signs of the end, and I wasn't sure how Elias would take it."What's wrong?" The man in question asked, immediately catching on to my discomfort. "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?""I'm fine." I assured him, plastering on a fake smile. "I just want to be able to go back to Allsbrook."For now, I simply wanted to go back to the place that had become my home and spend the rest of the time I had left with Elias. I didn't want to have to worry about a major battle or about having to kill someone."Soon," Elias s
My Dear Prince of Darkness Chapter Seventy One: Next Move
The room around me grew quiet as my words sank in. We were in for quite a fight with the fake Vladimier. I knew from experience how nasty and terrifying he could be when he wanted something. What the hell was he even planning?"Tell me how the original curse was cast." Elias spoke, causing shock to roll through my body. "That way, we know what we are up against.""A life." I whispered, shivering. "In order to cast the curse, a life must be sacrificed.""A life?" He hissed, seeming unable to quite believe what he had just heard. "If that's the case, then who..."The rest of his question never managed to escape, as realization began to show in his eyes, followed by a horror that left me feeling happy and sad at the same time."You're saying..." He managed as his face paled. "That bastard."I could feel Elias' aura beginning to seep off of him as his anger at Vladimier's method of cursing his land sank in."You need to calm down." I murmured, reaching out a hand and touching his arm. "We'
My Dear Prince of Darkness Chapter Seventy: Realization
Elias held me while I cried, not speaking a single word. Instead, he just made comforting noises while his hand rubbed soothing circles against my back. I knew that I didn't deserve this kindness that he was giving me, but I couldn't bring myself to try to pull away from it. After days of being with Vladimier and dealing with conflicting emotions at all times, it was just too wonderful to be in the arms of the man that I truly loved."I know you're upset, and now isn't the time to be asking this," Elias began, finally breaking his silence. "You mentioned that you were used to cast the curse."Tensing I began to realize exactly what it was that he wanted to know. He wanted to know if there was a way to break the curse since I knew how to cast it. Of course, I knew how to break the curse, but there was only one way to do it. To break the curse, I would have to repeat what happened to cast it."There is a way to lift it." I responded slowly while sitting up enough to wipe tears from my fa
My Dear Prince of Darkness Chapter Sixty Nine: Reveal All
"Why do you look like you're a criminal up for execution?"Elias' voice was calm as he spoke, but there was a hint of unease in it as well. It was like he was expecting the worst but hoping for the best. That made two of us, I guess, but it made what I had to say that much harder."Maybe I am." I responded bitterly.I knew he was trying to lighten the mood with his words, but he had no idea what I had discovered. Honestly, I wasn't even sure if he would look at me the same again once I revealed it to him."What could you have done so wrong for that?" He countered, stepping forward and reaching out a hand.Instinctively, I found myself flinching away from his touch. As I was now, I didn't think that I deserved to be treated like that by him. Not when I was solely responsible for how much he and his people had suffered."You don't understand." I whispered as tears pricked at my eyes. "Elias, I've remembered everything. From my time before meeting you and before that even.""You've rememb
My Dear Prince of Darkness Chapter Sixty Eight: Unexpected Helper
"Elias..." I hissed as I watched the group of wendigos that were beginning to make their way towards us. "What should we do?"Behind me, I could hear him moving, but I didn't dare turn my attention away from the trouble that was fast approaching. One wrong move and I could become monster chow, and I wasn't about to let that happen so easily."When I say move, you move." Elias finally responded close to my ear, sending a shiver through me.Tensing, I nodded, knowing that he must have a plan in place. At least, that was what I hoped."Ready..." He murmured, "Set... GO!"As the word left his lips, I could feel a hand wrapping around my wrist and tugging. With wide eyes, I found myself being pulled in the opposite direction of the wendigos while they began to chase."This is your plan?" I demanded, managing to not fall on my face despite the roots that were threatening to trip me. "You aren't going to attempt to fight them?""Are you really going to sit here and fuss about escaping?" Elias
My Dear Prince of Darkness Chapter Sixty Seven: Just In Time
"Good bye." I murmured as my body began to fall toward the earth. "I'm sorry we couldn't meet one more time, Elias," I continued, feeling regret that I wouldn't see his face before I died. However, before I could fall into misery, I felt an odd tug at my consciousness.Confused, I tried to allow whatever was happening to happen. Slowly, flashes of the past appeared one by one. Each showing Vladimier with a crazed look on his face, pulling at chains that I could only assume were attached to my wrists at the time."You belong to me!" He hissed as his hand shot out and connected with my cheek. "HOW DARE YOU ATTEMPT TO KILL YOURSELF?""I don't want to be part of your plan!" I heard my voice speak as fear clutched at my heart."You don't have a choice." Vladimier snapped, turning and leaving.Finding myself alone in a cell with whip marks across my arms and legs, I finally realized what was going on here. This was another memory of my time with Vladimier. Only this was the one that showed h
