Someone was violently shaking my body. I lay ignoring them, thinking that they would get the message and leave me the hell alone but they seemed never to get the memo as I turned, hoping to be far away from their grasp.
Shake.
I hit the hand that gripped my shoulder hard aiming to snap it from the owner, turning again.
Shake.
"Stop." I said, sleep clouding me, evident in my voice as I turned again.
Shake.
"What!" I snapped, couldn't he understand that I was sleeping. What was wrong with that man?
"You have been sleeping for five hours." He said, my anger hitting the roof, and making me shake where I lay, deciding to shut up before I said something I would regret.
Shake.
I ignored him, maybe if I ignore him then he would go
"You have to pick. I have the pent house at that glass building, a castle, a cottage and of course our cave?" He asked as I turned around, swimming over to him. His arms were wide open for me as I slipped in, feeling them wrap around me as mine sat on his shoulders, water dripping down my face. I did not know which one I wanted . I had grew up in the castle with so many people yet I had never felt so lonely, the cottage was something that had my heart skip a beat. It seemed like my king here was just living his life, giving no mind to all the glitz and glam all the other royals tried to get. They wanted status by flashing their money for everyone to see that they were rich and influential. The cottage offered a normal life, the life I had dreamed of, the life of a normal couple raising their kids in their own piece of heaven. I felt my heart ache at the thought. I would never have children. I would never go through the pain of chil
Never have I seen such a heavenly place. The people we had grown to hate and fear were actually just more normal than even the wolves, I swear. They were kind and loyal to each other living their best lives.We had passed a basketball field where there was a match between two teams and on the tennis court some people were just playing for fun. Others trained in the fields, both girls and boys. I still had not recovered from seeing that. Some girls were dancing and practising cheer in the gym while others just chilled at the park, laying around. I had watched some walking in from work, Husband explaining that it was to keep them busy. They loved to provide for themselves and their families. It was a whole other world here where everything was bigger and better."Wife come, what kind of husband would I be to keep you starving."We stood outside the hall where everyone was at now, eating their dinner together. The chatter was heard from outside, beads of sweat collecting on my forehead.
We were back in our large cave, not that I minded because it was breath taking, but sleeping in a house would have also been nice. Apparently, someone had cleared all the furniture in all his houses, because his book had told him that ladies did not like moving in a fully furnished house, wanting to do it themselves because the question becomes 'did your ex-girlfriend buy all these sheets I am sleeping on?’There was a bit of truth to it, it was not nice sleeping in sheets where you don't know who had slept before you, but how would I know. It was so cute that he had taken the time to just read all these books, trying to be the best he could be, even though to him it was just an experiment but it was kind of cute, tugging at the strings of my heart a little.I lay on the floor covered in flowers, him pointing out that he hated them but thought it would be romantic. This guy was just something else I have to tell you, he was just so cute and funny you could not believe he was a king, t
Excitement had me jumping up and down, my arm hooked on his as we walked across the parking lot, my eyes watching everything in awe. Life was so good, seeing normal vampires rush to work or rush to buy some supplies.The mall was big let me tell you that, it was so large and beautiful. My heart drummed, never having gone shopping ever in my whole life, never having seen a mall and not being able to hold my squirm. I could not wait to dive in, goddess help this man besides me because he was about to see hell, I tell you."We need to get breakfast first." He said, my whole body tucked into his as we strode, the mall already buzzing even though it was eight in the morning."What? No please no, we can get food after. I am not hungry." I said not thinking I could go through waiting another second, my toes already wiggled with such excitement."No wife, we will eat first." He pointed out, making me puff ou
The car was parked and I slipped out as soon as the engine was turned off, closing the door behind me and not even sure I could walk but I would die trying.My feet carried me out of the garage, walking out in the dark night that seemed so peaceful, filled with laughter from afar. I heard the patter of feet across the road, lights in houses on as families spent time together, others sitting outside and chilling with their friends.I walked up the path, taking a turn in the road, making my way down the street and trying to stay far away from people. I did not know if he followed, I did not even care as I walked as fast as I could down and down, the walk so long, my legs shaking."Evening your majesty." A voice came, turning to see the group of those teenagers we had dinner with."Evening, I hope you are all doing well?" I was able to say, my voice husky, just happy that it was not shaking as my hands
A day had passed with us doing nothing, but lazing around. We had shopped online for everything including the furniture for our house, making me so excited. I just could not wait to see it furnished by myself of course, a place I could call my own, a place I could make a home. I shook my head, this not being the time for such thoughts because as of now, I was panicking. I could already hear the noise all the way from the cave where I stopped pacing from wall to wall, not able to stand still. I had woke up with him not in sight which had explained why I had slept eight hours straight. I could not help the sadness that loomed, a dark cloud from not seeing the king for so long. The hours ticked away, hearing the streets get busy and busy. I could hear the conversations miles away, too nervous to even wonder why I could suddenly hear from such a long distance. I clenched my hands only to unclench them, opening my mouth only to close it. Next to me stood Sabrina who seemed to get nervou
The click of heels was the only thing being heard for miles and miles. I walked, my chin up, feeling my dress move back and forward, shifting like a full body of water. The sun shone over it as it seemed liked it was just pure liquid, running back and forth as I moved like a jelly. My heart drummed so hard you could see it from my throat, beating so bad as if it would tear my throat apart.I could now see the entrance of the arena, a red carpet laid out for me as I took a deep breath, taking my first step on the carpet only for the dress to start moving. It literally turned liquid, as if blood spilling all around me yet still maintaining the shape of the dress, making me gasp never having witnessed something so beautiful, something so magical. It danced around me like a body of sea turned into a dress, tears clouding my eyes, hands shaking so hard they turned red.I blinked them away, feeling the heavy crown made of pure gold on my head trying to
Everything was shaking, everything was shaking as if an earthquake was upon the land, or was it me? At this point I did not know. Sweat trickled all over my body, the witches chanting like they had for hours and hours, the pain only getting worse, nothing working as more and more blood spilled out of my mouth, all of us now on a pool of my own blood. Husband left, he had to for everyone's safety. All the people had climbed down from the seats, a circle around me, kneeling, sombre faces haunting them. What should have been a great day turned to something no one would ever talk about.No one knew what to do, the witches were failing with all their powers combined yet they did not stop, they did not want to let down their king at the time where he most needed them but as blood trickled down their own noses they did not give up. They got more and more louder, even those that were barely kids kneeling and chanting not giving up, their white dresses painted red with t
Hi everyone, I am so happy we have finally reached the end of the book. It was filled with ups and downs that left us crying, laughing, angry, happy and in love. I hope you enjoyed the book.

3 YEARS LATER“ The oil smells amazing, I am so addicted. Vampir is teaching me some simple magic and it’s so exciting.” I giggled out, licking my ice cream. The sun was out and just amazing to feel on the skin.“ Magic is a beautiful thing, there is no way you can not be addicted to it. Just taking the energies all around you and creating something so powerful from nature, its amazing. Learning it and raising Vampir was all that kept me sane all those years.” My mother-in-law said with me smiling and moving my hand to her shoulder.“ You did good on both aspects, look at him now, acting all grown up.” I said to her as we both burst out laughing. My heart was light, so much happiness and joy in my life.The goddess of light had gone through a mental break down when she fell from heaven. How could she not? She had left her home, and everything she knew behind. She had left her love behind, the man who made everything alright. On top of that, she had lost her powers, the core of her. A
“ Is this okay?” I asked, my heart literally beating even from my vagina with how nervous I was.“ Yes wife, you are asking me for the sixth time.” Vampir spoke out with me giggling nervously.“ I need to be sure my love, they are so tiny.” I answered back, scared I would drop my angel from my hands.Parenting with Vampir was the best thing ever. Apparently, he raised a million babies and was a pro at this. At first I was disappointed at this because I felt as if I would have loved for us to be hopeless together, not knowing what to expect and just experiencing everything for the first time together. But, him being experienced was actually helpful since I knew nothing at all about babies, never even held one and barely seen one with my bare eyes. Vampir patiently taught me, and helped me until I got it.Our little prince loved the water while our cute little princess hated the hell out of them. She cried so hard I nearly dropped her but Vampir came and whisked her away from my shaking
It was warmth like none I had ever felt. My body felt as if it was in the hands of the goddess herself. I stopped right in my train of thought as a voice echoed in my head. My head throbbed even thinking of a certain voice that had nearly tore my brain apart while trying to slip in and take control. I don’t know how but I knew it was her, I knew it was the moon goddess. Even just thinking about it nearly had me think I was crazy yet I could not shake the feeling, I just knew it was her.My body and brain were on the same line, wanting me to close my eyes and just drift back to sleep because I had never felt so good in my life. There was this sweet subtle sensation that ran all over my body. It was addictive, a certain weight over my chest that brought such sweet emotions on me.My eyes blinked open, light nearly blinding me, having me close my eyes as fast. I wanted to just drift away, let sleep take me again but my heart, it beat faster and harder. Something told me to get up, a cert
“ My queen, how is the pain like? What is it like?” I was too far gone to answer. My body pushed up, leaning on my elbows to groan out. I raised my knees, spreading them apart to groan out loud.My eyes flickered open as I heaved and cried all at once, seeing the witch queen fight with the creatures. She killed them one after another so brutally but they were multiplying, giving as good as they took from her. As lethal as she was, they were pouring all they had, their goal to rip her apart and kill her so painfully. They moved with such speed and such skill or maybe I was hallucinating, maybe I was seeing things. They moved so fast it was as if they were buzzing.Another wave of pain washed over my body, my head leaned over.“ I think the baby is pushing out my queen, you need to push,” Isabella said, running all around the bed as if she had no idea what to do. She tripped and fell off the bed with a thud, me heaving hard, the waves of pain just washing one after the other, not even g
More warmth spread over my body and there was no time to panic or fight. My hand held harder with my eyes closing. I thought it would take long, my body panicking hard but as soon as my eyes closed, the plopping sound with the crying souls echoed in the tunnel I stood at.My heart drummed hard with the creature right behind me.“ I need your help.” The words escaped my mouth immediately.“ Take this.” The man said with a hand coming from behind. Teeth had sunk deep on the wrist, blood dripping from the golden glowing skin staring right at me.His fingers were pure black, the rest of his hand and arm golden as if gold highlighter was spread on him. The darkness seemed to have crawled up his fingers over time. His arm was large and strong, veins running up, seen just from the skin. In just one squeeze he could kill me with just his arm. My heart drummed harder, knowing that this could be a trick, another creature wanting to kill my child.I don’t know why even thinking of that sent some
I woke to my waist burning. My body slightly turned from side to side and the people in the room had multiplied, all there to support; some kneeling, some on the bed with others standing. Sweat collected on my forehead, my whole body as if on fire, especially my waist. I did not know what was happening and I was trying to be positive, to be firm but it felt as if my womb was turning upside down.The fear of not knowing what was happening, the pain of thinking your baby is in pain and there is nothing you can do about it.I shifted, trying to relief the pain but nothing worked.“ Can someone please just try to get Vampir here, please.” I begged, not wanting to reveal what I was feeling but my voice was shaking along with my whole body.“ They are out searching for him my queen, they will find him.” Isabella said, me groaning.“ What is happening your majesty?” She asked with me shaking my head.“ Pain.” I whispered out, clenching my teeth.It was bad, turning to my side with it being b
The day passed with us just sitting around wide eyed, staring at the empty blood bag that sat in the dust bin brought from the bathroom. I was happy the tube was out of my body but the worry would kill me. It had been two hours, no one having said a single thing since the very last drop of blood. I felt as if my baby would just die from the lack of blood which he desperately needed. Something was just wrong, having not felt any movement or warmth from him. My hand lay on my belly, rubbing it while silently begging him to please be okay. I felt stupid and useless even thinking about it, just hoping he was okay. Each second I was breathing, I was just using so much energy and I still had not even recovered, feeling so drained, feeling so tired already. I lay back on the bed, my heart running laps in my chest. My love, please come back home, we can revenge later, for now our baby needs you. I kept saying in my head, trying to reach out to him in anyway I could but failing. “ The Quee
My baby. All I needed was for him to just tell me he was okay, that he was fine. I just needed him to say something to me, send his warmth to me so I would be assured he was okay. He was the sweetest and most loving child, after everything, still hanging on, still sending his waves of love. I missed them, I craved them, begging for them, and praying for them but they never came. He was awfully quiet and my worry just hit the roof. My heart drummed hard and the more I told myself to calm down, not wanting to stress the child, the more I panicked.“ Where is he?” The words slipped from my trembling lips. No one replied, the few people in the room just so silent as if having blended with the walls. A voice cleared yet nothing said.“ How long has he been gone?” I asked, eyes still closed with the tears still running out.“ He usually comes after a day to drop off blood but he hasn’t come your highness.” Isabella said with me nodding my head.Why hadn't he came back? What happened? Was h
