HORACE

I knew Gavner hated me already, but I needed him to hate me more than he already does.

"You have your eyes on my mate, why?" I asked if only I could know what he could do for Nora.

I could do more for her than he has ever done.

And when he's gone—far away—I'll erase every memory of him she has ever had.

His gaze darted from me to his already-fisted hands. "The moment your hands touch me, you are leaving immediately," I threatened.

I didn't care if he was my elder brother or anything.

All I wanted badly was for him to leave Nora alone, but he was hellbent on getting her back.

I could see him struggling to calm himself down as he crossed his arms together.

That was the only thing he could do if he at least wanted to see Nora for the last time.

"I've never wanted to ask you this, but I feel today is the right day to ask..." he paused, avoiding eye contact with me. "Why do you enjoy claiming anything that belongs to me?"

"Do you really love to see me on your feet, pleading for wha

    NORAI was pacing around my room after I had searched for Gavner everywhere in the castle but couldn't find him.Has he gone?Without seeing me?I had no idea why I wasn't happy. I was supposed to be happy that he was finally leaving my life, but I'm tensed up.Memories flashed back right in front of my eyes, making me realize the only mistake he made was rejecting me and trying to sell me off.He has been there for me in ways I couldn't explain—how he was there at the right timing... Now Horace has ordered him to leave.I grasped my head in pain... I wasn't sure I would be able to cope. Apart from Marcel, he was the only one who helped subside my hunger for blood.I didn't trust him, but I knew he'd keep his word when he said he was going to be there for me.My head was going berserk when the door pushed open and Lilith walked in.Rushing to her, I held her hand, my face explaining everything I wanted to say.She sighed, "He's nowhere in the castle."I intended on talking with Horace

"I warned you, stay away from her!""This is not your territory... stay away from her," Matteo warned as he rushed over to Lilith, cradling her as he pushed her hair behind her ears."What are you doing here?" Matteo asked Marcel as he carried Lilith in his arms, placing her on my bed.Quickly, I walked up to Matteo. "It's a long story," I whispered."I'm here to catch prey!" Marcel said as he adjusted his coat, making my words useless.I stood still for a while, glaring at him, wondering if I was the prey he was talking about.'Are you here for me?' I asked myself.'Are you here to capture me when the right time comes?' I felt a sharp pain in my chest... It hurt like I was shot directly in the heart.I almost lost my balance, but I held on to my knee as I grasped in pain.Daciana winced.Marcel rushed up to me, almost

    GAVNERI walked into the castle, what I was feeling was new like I wasn't going to return.The mild air and the echoes of my feets as I walked pass the hallway.Heading to my mother's chamber as she she had asked of me, I was still contemplating on what to tell her.If only Horace could reconsider, if only he could feel comfortable with me around... But I knew I was lying to myself. I wanted Nora for myself, she was mine from the beginning.Walking past some maids, slightly bowing to me as they chuckled while heading to their destination.I was amidst pain and I needed to be held by someone who really cared about me."Queen Shiba is waiting for you," a palace guard said to me as I got to the entrance to my mother's chamber."Alright," I nodded as I held the handle of the door, pushing it slightly before walking in.Walking in, I shut the door behind me. Turning around, I saw her seated at the corner of her chamber facing the window as she stared at the vegetation view.I increased my

    NORAI sat by the edge of the bed as I patiently waited for Lilith to be out of the shower.We were supposed to have see Gavner but Marcel had messed it all up.A few hours ago, Lilith had told me that we needed to find my mother's body in order to understand what was really going on with me. It is quite a though one for me because I had no idea where to start from to search for my mother's dead dead body.There was a knock on the door and Lilith gestured me to sit still as she walked up to the door opening it."Why are you here?" I recognized his voice.It was him!I wondered if he was back.Standing up to my feets, I rushed to the door as Lilith made way for me.I couldn't believe it... he was standing right outside my door with a blood bag in his hands.I wrapped my hands around his arms as I pulled him closer into my chambers.I know he'd be surprised I was acting like that but I didn't care... I thought I wasn't going to set my eyes on him again."Why did Horace ask you to leave

    NORAI searched around for Horace, but there was no sign of him. Running through the stairs, I headed to his study room, where he could probably be working.I have never seen Gavner vulnerable like he was when he told me how he pleaded with Horace.I've never known Horace to be a man who would turn his back on his brother, and even though he wouldn't listen to Gavner, I will make sure he listens to me because I would not allow him to send Gavner away just like that."You can't send my son away like that."I heard a voice say something as I slightly pushed the door open. Peeking in, I saw Queen Shiba standing in front of Horace as she pressed her palms together right in front of her face.My jaw dropped. Never in my life had I thought that I would run into her pleading for her son's sake. Which made me wonder if Horace sent Gavner away not to return any more."You make it seem like I've not been speaking to you... I let down my ego just to plead with you, but you aren't bulging.""Quee

    NORA"I have no idea what to do to stop Gavner from leaving," I said as I slumped on the bed.I couldn't believe that Horace couldn't change his mind, even when I had to go and plead with him."You know exactly what to do," Lilith hushed as she crossed her legs in front of her as she caressed Zelda's back."No. I have no idea, and my head is so messed up.""You need to go back and tell Horace that his brother has been serving you the blood that has been sustaining you."I turned instantly and said, "What! How?"Lilith was right, but I can't do that. I can't imagine the look on Horace's face when I just told him about this."Horace wouldn't take it lightly when I told him that, and I do not plan on telling him either.""If I do, I'm sure I won't set my eyes on Gavner ever again."I wondered what Lilith was thinking when she suggested that I do that... it would definitely break Horace.I forgot to talk to him about the she-wolf he killed because of the respect he wanted the members of t

When I got pregnant for you, he could simply have made me one of his wives or rather a concubine, but no... he faked my death and sent me away," Ophelia's tone cracked up as the tears welled up in her eyes began to stream down her cheeks.Rubbing his face with his palm, he wondered how many years they had to survive before they got there.Ophelia never wasted any time... she always reminded them of their motive in life an

    NORAI had no idea why that happened to be the question Horace had to ask me... he made my heart beat a thousand times.Fear and anxiety engulfed my entire body system as I was shaken by forces I had no idea about."What do you mean by that?" I asked instantly, feeling uncomfortable.He shook his head. "Forget about it... I didn't mean to do that to you, and trust me this once when I say I'm not here to harm you," he said. The sincerity in his eyes pulled me to him.No!I waved it off.I wouldn't fall for his tricks, or rather, the tricks of the dragon!"Why are you here?" I asked, and I needed an answer that was straight to the point. "You know you can actually sit down if you want to talk to me, and not squatting right in front of me makes me uncomfortable."That wasn't the reason I said that... he was just right there. Very close to my unborn child. Why?Why does he have to be so close to me if he just wants to speak to me?Now I have no idea what to do. I'm heavily pregnant, and I
