A Days went smoothly, Staying at the wooden house with Prince Rhysand on the outskirts of Hagrid, on a lonely hillside.They lived a normal life, Amren could freely use her powers, and Rhysand watched her smile every day, he lived peacefully with her in these past few days and was the reason behind her every bright smile.He didn't worry about palace affairs nor concern himself with others, just focusing all his attention on his doting wife.It was close to evening, the weather becoming even more cloudy. Amren was walking down the rocky road with Rhysand, they had a bright smiles on their faces, Amren was wearing a brown gown that was thin, and a shawl covering her silver hair, she was holding a fruit basket in the other hand as she walked towards their house with Rhysand.He didn't bring his car along because the King's order for gasoline hadn't yet arrived, he made the little things happen with Amren."We are home" Amren smirked as she pushed open the door and Rhysand walked in behi
They kept going on and on, Rhysand slept with her raw without any protection.Amren felt her limps were about to cut into pieces, Rhysand kept going on and on, He at times sniffed her neck, his canines brushed past her neck and it always seemed to awaken something in her and she became, surprisingly, expectant of him marking her.It didn't take long for that moment to come, After making love to her in the bathroom, Rhysand didn't pull out his manhood from her as he carried her into the bedroom.Both naked and clinging on each other as they kissed, Amren's silver hair falling over her back and messy, Her back slowly kissed the white sheets under her as Rhysand lay her down gently.After making sure she was comfortable, he climbed on top of her and kissed her jaw before sliding in on her again a throaty groan left his mouth before a sigh "Rhy" Rhysand kept banging her while planting butterfly kisses on her body, his breathing growing rapid as he felt blood rush to his head, his eyes tu
Gripping hold of the scroll in his hands, Rhysand gritted his teeth in anger, his eyes turning red, the veins in his hands pronounced as the hatred he was harboring in his heart intensified.Mateo stood at the side "She was truly taken away by your mom?" He asked rather calmly to be on the safer side.Rhysand's cold gaze landed on the wrecked paper in his hand, his fist clenching on it tightly, his chest tightened even more as he slowly turned his body to face Mateo "Have it" he whispered, his voice hoarse.He didn't know how to explode, how to shout that can let all the suffocating feelings out of him.He needed to bang his head on a wall or something, He so wanted to go berserk and destroy every living thing.Even if he had spent just four years of his early life with his mother, he knew how vile his mother could be, he knew all that she fed him with when he was still a kid. He was made to eat liver that had dark blood on it, he was made to feed on skins.As a child, he grew up col
Stepping into the palace hallway, Rhysand came across the king, Rhysand's demeanor changed as he walked at a fast pace to pass by the king but King Cassian called out to him."Prince Rhysand!" Rhysand halted in his tracks before slowly turning to face the king "King Cassian, how may I help you?"King Cassian had a calm look even when he was annoyed at the tone of Rhysand " When will all these stop? When will you stop to despise me?" He asked.Rhysand smirked "Probably, the very day I die" he made a simple remark but that made King Cassian even more depressed."What's your view of the throne?" King Cassian asked instead, he made Prince Ollivander his heir but he knew deep down that Ollivander wasn't fit for the throne and the demanding role of king. Rhysand had everything to rule Hagrid and lead it to the next level.Rhysand is strong and brutal, his will is never bent as he says things the way they are, he is powerful and doesn't command respect, and people fear him as they see him a
"Let go of me Rhysand" Amren cried out and Rhysand's eyes sparked a bit "Amren?" He lost his strength, he was shocked that he had hurt his wife.Amren coughed as Rhysand let go of her neck "I'm sorry Amren,i-i didn't mean to choke you" Amren gave him a side look before saying "It's okay, I'm fine anyways"Rhysand sighed "I'll get you water to help clear your throat, just sit here and don't go anywhere," he said as he held her arms and sat her on the bed."I'll be back," he said before turning away to leave but Amren silently got up and her sinister eyes followed him as he made his way to the door but then her cry of pain made him run back to her in panic."What's wrong??" Rhysand asked as he bent close to her, she was seating on the ground while holding her leg "I sprained my ankles" she whined."Let me see it, how come you sprained your ankle in just a few seconds and besides you are a witch, this shouldn't hurt, right?" He mumbled to her hearing and she pouted her lips as he massag
Just when Amren was about to stab him, she gritted her teeth before stabbing the knife in her hand instead.Rhysand immediately knew that Amren must have taken control of her body and pierced her skin instead of hurting him.Rhysand quickly got a hold of her body when she collapsed on the ground, Her eyes shut as blood flowed freely out of her hand, Rhysand cupped her face as his voice came out shaking "Amren....C'mon get up" He raised her off the floor and carried her to the bed, his head was in a frantic mood as he wiped off the sweats on her.He bit his lower lip before getting off the bed, he paced around the room before moving to the bathroom, soon he came out with a towel and water in a bowl and washed off her forehead and skin.The injury was already healing, but it still looked a bit fresh in some parts, just needed time to heal well enough.He swore he was gonna hang that mother of his.••••In the days that followed, Amren seemed okay, just like herself as she took naps,
"Are you sure of this piece of information you just gave?" King Cassian asked the trembling Hugo.Hugo balled his fist in anger, he couldn't sit in one spot, and he felt his mind going on a Rollercoaster ride.He had never once despised Rhysand, why treat him in such a way by killing his child??"I need your permission, my lord." Hugo fell on his knees, his head down, his chest hurt as he uttered with so much emotion "Let me have him in my hands" King Cassian remained silent for a while "As you said, it was Prince Ollivander who had this speculation, it could be wrong....let's invite him here for questioning, and if it turns out that it's.....true" The king sighed "I can let you have your way with him but I know you are well aware that he will spill your blood within seconds....Hugo, you can't anger Rhysand and you know it" "My lord, I do not care if I die I'm in his hands, I want vengeance for my son" "Guards " The king beckoned to the guard close by and he respectfully bowed to K
Rhysand's gaze grew colder and even more cold as he read along the thin lines of symbols in the scroll.Mateo quickly grabbed the scroll from his hand when Rhysand dropped his eyes from the scroll, his throat popping up and down "Not again " He growled lowly."This can't be! Then does that mean Amren is no longer in the palace? Where do you think she'll go to the very moment she wasn't found?"Rhysand narrowed his eyes "She knows teleportation, I guess she teleported out of the house" His anger rose to his neck as he almost shouted to show how furious he was."Then that's good"Rhysand snapped at Mateo "It's not..." lowering his voice as he said in a hurry "She is laid bare to danger, Feyre is after Amren's life and wishes to possess her soul, the palace is the only secured environment for her!" He loosened the first two buttons on his sleeve "We are returning to Hagrid this very minute."Mateo shook his head "Then what about the men who you wanna trade jades with? What explanation s
"Let the heavens and the earth bear us witness. The heavens as executors, the earth as eye witness to this peace treaty between Vampires and Witches" King Cassian shouted, addressing the crowds, the king was standing in front of the hall's balcony, the crowds were massive, all from every part of Hagrid, in the middle of the crowds was a space that maintained the barrier, vampires at the right-hand side while the captured witches were on the left-hand side.The witches were not as many as the number of vampires there, but they were many.They were told about this treaty, the oldest wizard there, the father of Miguel Cervenka led the witches, and Miguel was amongst the crowd of captured witches and wizards.Some were not in support of this peace treaty but they had no choice but to swear the oath of allegiance after Cervenka,Miguel's father, summoned their goddess and The Vampires prayed to the heavens and their past kings."This peace treaty shall be passed down from our generation to
"Do not spite my dead son, I won't accept that!" Hugo growled."How did you think your son died?? he was working for a witch, I was there to witness it and Kyle and Mateo were also there" Rhysand rolled his eyes "That is to show that some vampires who think have egos are sort of worthless without pride....but that's not what I am here for" Hugo staggered backward while the king gazed at him with a piercing look "What do you suggest we do Rhysand""Let's form a long-lasting treaty that will bond the two sides so they can never break the agreement "Lord Drogo cleared his throat "How are we sure this will work? We can't control them with just written words on a scroll that can get torn over time"Viscount Magnus Lestat twitched his mouth a bit "That's why he suggested a huge wall that can stand as significant agreements between the worlds and also an oath of allegiance""I think it's a good idea then" Lord Drogo acknowledged.Some also whispered amongst themselves in agreement on the m
Walking into the hall of King Cassian Von Vendela, Rhysand and Mateo entered to see the lords gathered there.King Cassian frowned "Rhysand why did you hold this meeting and come late?" He asked.Rhysand had called for this meeting a while ago when he got to the palace and now it was commencing."My lord" he acknowledged, not bowing as he walked straight to the front of the king.Lord Drogo was seated in the very first seat close to the King's throat, lord Armand,lord Molocbai, Viscount Magnus Lestat, Lord Vittorio, and Emiel Velkan were there with so many other lords.They were all wearing blue robes with golden embodiments on them, their hair was long and close to their waistline, and they backed it in a bun.Rhysand's gaze wept to Prince Ollivander who was sitting on the right-hand's throne close to the king. Sensing his gaze on him, Prince Ollivander adjusted nervously on his seat while averting his gaze elsewhere.Prince Thibor was sitting amongst the lords, sitting close to the
"Am I the only one who heard that??" Rhysand asked ridiculously and Mateo and Kyle walked over to the bed "That sound came from her""Call the Physician Kyle" Rhysand bubbled in delight.Soon the Physician Was checking Amren, she placed a hand on her neck, and her face remained bland as she concentrated on her diagnosis.Rhysand and Mateo including Kyle couldn't seat still, Rhysand had both hands folded on his chest, his eyes remained on the physician, waiting for him to make the news.Rhysand felt his hands were covered in sweat as he sat there nervously, after a while, the physician turn to look at them."Well...Prince Rhysand""I'd appreciate it if you go straight to the point" Rhysand cut through as he asked, his eyes resting on Amren's body."Yes, Was it just us or...did it happen? we heard that sound from her " Kyle backed up Rhysand's words.Mateo remained quiet as he just waited for what was to come.The room had its tension as the air hung up, It was as if it was closing in o
"I was thinking of letting the king know of Rhysand's passing, it's been five days now" Kyle suggested as they both walked into the house.The living room was quite as usual as they made their way to the small stair and ascended it,"Just keep mute Kyle" Mateo groaned out in displeasure, his face was stoic as he knocked on the door but didn't hear a sound.Kyle was standing behind him with a pouty face "Let's just go in, maybe she's probably sleeping" Kyle concurred."What if she's dressing up?" "She would have answered" Kyle argued back."I do not have the time to bicker or banter words with you" Mateo interjected but Kyle had already held the doorknob and pushed the door open.The smell of smoke first hit their nose before their eyes scanned the room.Such enough, Rhysand was still in the bed but Amren was nowhere in sight.Their eyes scanned the room as they made their way into the room, Mateo laid his eyes on the table and they quickly walked over to see the items on it, Kyle mad
"Prince Rhysand hasn't returned to the palace for days now" King Cassian Asked Hugo who nodded."Did he perhaps find out that you know he did that?" The king inquired."I sent the body to the old Physician my lord," Hugo said quietly, his both hands folded "She did a test on his body and found that he was indeed killed not by vampire claws but by a witch"King Cassian frowned "you mean, Rhysand didn't kill Caine? But a witch?" Hugo sighed "I do not know how this whole thing came about, Rhysand has always hated Caine to the core and that's the very reason he had Caine banned from the human world and sentenced to Crege where Caine saw death face to face " King Cassian relaxed his back on the chair "I know Rhysand isn't that stupid to do that to you or Caine, he can get Caine punished not killed" "My lord, then who is this witch?" Hugo asked."Feyre?" The king asked instead and Hugo shook his head "We have destroyed the whole clan of witches and their community ""Then we have no othe
Just like that, Amren was living in the house Rhysand had kept her, his body laid on his bed as they used incense to keep his body warm.It has been two days and he's still not responding or making an attempt to wake and the hopes within Amren crumbled even more.The doctor has confirmed that he was dead as he was stabbed by that witch's sword that contains deadly magic and poisons.But somewhere within couldn't settle for that, she had always seen him as a strong man that couldn't fall, he was untouchable and strong.He couldn't die.Amren wept close to his body "Rhy....please wake up and I promise you won't be hurt for a second time, I know how to use my magic now and I'll protect you, your mom is no more so she can't hurt you, I failed you.... I failed to keep you safe but rather brought you closer to your death, I'm sorry" Her eyes were red and swollen.Soon, Mateo and Kyle came in, they both looked thinner just like Amren who hadn't been able to eat anything for days as she kept
All strength in her faded off, her soul lost its very essence, Amren's heart clenched on her chest, her blurred eyes looking at the lifeless man in her arms.Words couldn't form in her throat, the pain numbed her that she had no actions left to perform, no words to speak out, and all her brain cells were too short to process a thing.The pain made her lips quiver, her hands grow cold, and Amren felt like a lost thing.The whole room bore tension and Amren felt the cave was closing in on her, her face twisted in pain before she burst out.All the pain she had been holding in until now, she let them out as her ear-piercing cry ran out of her throat, hoping for the cry to lessen the pain she was feeling in her heart.For it to reduce the weight of hate in her heart, and for it to cleanse the memories of how Rhysand died in front of her."Argh" Mateo and Kyle couldn't retract their gazes, their eyes numb as they turned red."Is that Brother Rhysand?? Mateo, this can't be true right? It's
"Have you discovered Rhysand's whereabouts?" Hugo asked the guard before him but he shook his head "Not yet."Hugo balled his fists "Keep searching and be more proficient ""Yes sir" he bowed before leaving to find Rhysand's whereabouts.Hugo's eyes narrowed to the far distance "I'll get you Rhysand " ••••Meanwhile, inside the cave, The once quiet place was now filled with tension, They had initially thought it was just Feyre but it turned out several witches were also there with her.Rhysand killed two of the witches with his bare hands but the others kept using their magics to outrun them.Amren Watched on with dread, her eyes following Rhysand's every move, alerting him when a witch was close to striking him, her heart drumming heavily in her rib cage, hoping he would come out unscathed.Feyre was rather aggressive, she had injured Rhysand a few times with the multiple blades sent his way, she summoned blades at him, and they pierced his chest, cutting him roughly but the part
