I don't know how long I laid on Elias' floor before he finally returned with a healer. Bending down, he gently lifted me off the ground and placed me back on his bed before moving aside so the healer could move in and begin examining my wounds.

"Luckily, they aren't deep enough to need sutures." The man spoke as he pulled pieces of tattered fabric away from the wounds, causing me to wince. "But they'll take some time to heal."

"Be more gentle." Elias hissed, not missing my discomfort. "I brought you here to treat her, not hurt her."

"Yes prince." The man said quickly, his voice shaking.

Growing quiet, the healer busied himself cleaning and dressing the wounds on my back. I couldn't help but realize that the whole time he did it, his hands were shaking. It was clear that this healer was new, and he feared Elias greatly.

Finished with his work, the man gave a bow before rushing out of the room, leaving just me and Elias.

"Thanks." I whispered, keeping my gaze fixed on my hands, which sat

    "HEY!"Twirling, I found Elias rushing out of the room after me, his face fixed in a look of confusion."What do you want?" I asked, trying to hide my shock. "Did you need something else with me?""Thinking on it..." Elias began looking slightly uncomfortable. "It may be better if you stayed in my quarters for the time being.""What?" This time, I was unable to mask my shock as his words sank in. "Me, stay with you?"Elias nodded. "There have been two lycan attacks now on the palace. Don't forget, you are a danger magnet.""Yes, yes, I attract danger." I muttered, forgetting for a second what was being said. "Wait...."I needed to focus here. Just moments ago, he was being cold towards me, but now he suddenly wanted me to stay with him. What exactly was going on here?"This isn't up for debate." Elias huffed as the prior look of discomfort disappeared and his usual mask of indifference took its place. "Go collect your things and be back within an hour.""Sure." It wasn't like I could a

    Soft moans escaped my lips as Elias' tongue swirled around my erect nipples while his hands trailed along my side down to my hip and back up, teasing me until I couldn't stand it anymore and was ready to attack.I don't know how long he had already spent teasing me and driving me wild. Usually he would just go straight for the kill, but something about this time was different than the others. It was hard to explain, but it felt more like I was being cherished compared to being just used."Elias..." His name left my lips with a slight sigh. "Please, I don't want just teasing."The things this man was doing to my body were insane, but I didn't hate them; however, I wanted more than this—so much more.As his name escaped me, his free hand trailed down my stomach to my soaked slit so it could slide between my folds. Using his fingers, he began to tease and taunt me. Moaning, I arched my back, silently begging for him to continue.Chuckling, Elias obliged, pushing in one, then two fingers a

  • My Dear Prince of Darkness   Chapter Thirty Eight: Realize Feelings

    The feeling of something hard pressing against my legs roused me from my exhausted sleep. Outside, the sounds of military drills being run could be heard, indicating that it was morning. In the current world of darkness that I resided in, these sounds alone were the only thing that helped me determine it was morning.Sighing, I shifted, trying to turn to face Elias, who was still sound asleep behind me. How I had managed to sleep the entire night with this gorgeous man beside me was beyond me. Then again, it was probably because of the exercise we did before bed or the lycan attack beforehand. Either way, I slept soundly.Letting a small smile play on my lips, I allowed myself to examine Elias' sleeping form. When the man was sound asleep, he looked innocent. With the usual frown gone, he looked ten years younger, and without his normal arrogant look, he was actually approachable.As I continued to take him in, a strand of hair fell loose from the others and covered one of his closed e

    "Show me what Derrick and Roland have taught you." Elias said, positioning himself. "Once I see what your weaknesses are, we can work on them." Even though Elias had said that he would be giving me one-on-one lessons, I still wasn't quite able to wrap my head around it. Whereas I hadn't been uncomfortable training with Roland and Derrick, I was very nervous training with Elias due to our intimate acts. What if I accidentally slipped into horny Valerie while he was being serious?" "What exactly are you wanting me to do?" I asked, slowly taking Elias in. "Should I attack or should I wait for you to atta...." I didn't have the opportunity to finish my question as he lunged forward, punching at my face. Too caught off guard by the sudden movement, I only had enough time to stop that punch, but not the second that followed. "You could have said something." I huffed, doubling over from the impact. "In an actual fight, no one is going to give you a warning." He pointed out, taking a step

    I kept my eyes straight ahead as four large gray wolflike humanoids began to make their way towards us through the garden. How they had managed to get in without the guards seeing them was beyond me, but at this current point in time, that truly didn't matter."Brother." Maria whimpered, quickly hiding behind Elias. "Do something!""Elias." Veronica added, her face paling. "Where are the guards? Shouldn't they be around to handle these monsters?"Frowning, Elias didn't respond as he kept his gaze fixed straight ahead, watching as the Lycans continued to close the distance."Maria and Veronica." He hissed, never letting his eyes leave the lycan. "When I count to 3, I need both of you to run as quickly as you can back to the castle and get help.""But brother..." Maria began, only to be stopped by a growl from one of the lycans."Don't argue, and just do what I say." Elias continued, reaching into a bag on his hip and producing a dagger. "I need the both of you to get to safety."As he s

    I don't know how long I stayed in Roland's arms, sobbing, but it was only when a loud cough sounded from Elias that I jerked back to my senses. Feeling Roland's arms tense around me, I knew that he had the same thought that I did. Elias had already had an issue with Roland and my strange relationship. Seeing us like this now, what would he possibly think?Scurrying to get up, I nearly fell on my face, but luckily Roland managed to catch me before that, putting us in an even more awkward position."Don't let me disturb the both of you." Elias spoke in a voice dripping with ice as I looked at him with wide eyes. "Please do continue.""Brother, what are you talking about?" Roland asked."You and Valerie look pretty comfortable together." Elias pointed out, looking from me to Roland. "Close enough to be hugging one another.""No, it wasn't like that!" I said quickly.I didn't necessarily have to explain anything to him. After all, he had all but left me for dead while protecting his sister

    "Put me down!" I shrieked as Elias continued to carry me through the castle on his shoulder. "What do you think you're doing?""If you don't be quiet, I'm going to spank you." Elias warned me, his grip tightening around my thighs.Snapping my mouth shut, I didn't dare argue back out of fear he would actually stick to his threat. Instead, I focused my attention on the ground below me as it moved along with his steps.I didn't quite know what was going on within the man's mind, but to go this far, he had to have his reasons, but I was still infuriated by how I had to go at his pace."Where are you taking me?" I asked slowly, keeping my voice calm."Back to our room." Elias responded as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "I told you that you wouldn't be staying in your old room anymore.""But why do I have to stay with you?" I asked, unable to keep up with the man's thoughts. "Wouldn't it be an insult to your fiance to have me in your room?""I've said this multiple times alr

    "Oh God, Elias." I moaned, clawing at his back. "More!"The erotic sounds of skin slapping against skin echoed around the room. Sweat poured from my skin as he quickly thrust in and out of me. This was the third time that we had gone at it, and no matter how exhausted I felt, I couldn't stop myself from getting riled up by how damn good it felt."Harder." I moaned as Elias sat on his knees.Hooking his arms underneath my legs, he pulled me hard against him as he quickened his pace further. Reaching out a hand, he cupped my breast, sending me crashing over the edge."God yes!" I screamed and closed my eyes as my orgasm grew closer. "YES! ELIAS!""Cum for me, Valerie." He grunted, thrusting deeper into me. "I want to see your face contorted in ecstasy."Feeling my core tingle, I gasped, arching my back as a powerful orgasm began to rock my body. Groaning, Elias shoved hard as he exploded inside of me, allowing my walls to squeeze, milking every last drop.Panting, he collapsed on top of

    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

    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

    "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

    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

    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'

    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

    "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

    "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

    "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
