I woke up with a start, my body jolting up as if I had just been hit by a bolt of lightning. My hands went to my chest, clenching it as I heavily heaved. This had been happening for the past week, getting more and more violent by the passing days. I dashed out of bed straight to the bathroom where I slid to the floor before emptying the contents of my stomach into the toilet bowl. My whole body was drenched, tears streaming down as I dry heaved.
It went on for a couple of seconds before I collapsed on the floor. My arms went around my waist, hugging myself as the tears flowed down my cheeks. I had wrecked my brain on what could be happening and nothing. Vampir had not been around for the whole week, trying to get everything in order before we left for the Werewolf king's ball. An invitation had been sent through an email from the king himself, inviting us to the yearly king's ball. I did not want to go but Husband insisted, not wanting to miss the opportunity to show me aroun
It was hours in the air and the jet was landing. I could not believe I was back home, could not help the fear as I felt the jet touch down in the land where I had thought I would never see, not in this life. It was amazing how things had turned out, it was amazing how fate had led me to my mate. It was amazing how the universe worked. I sighed, wanting to look outside my window but scared to. What if they had called us here to attack us? That was another possibility that I would not put past my father.My hands gripped the arm of that chair as I sat back, my eyes flickering to the king who was on the phone, talking about something he had to do on the following week. I sighed, imagining so many scenarios of what would happen on this weekend, and I could not help but be afraid. The king dropped the phone, his eyes rushing to me where he gave me a smile, making me blush and look away. He sat back in his seat as the plane came into a stand still. The other plane with the others we were tr
We were shown to our room which was on the top floor of the west wing where all the guests were staying. It was a large room with a living room, closet and a large bathroom. We were here to refresh before dinner which was thirty minutes from now. The king was nearly done in his tux and I on the other side was just a mess. I would have been done if my lady in waiting was not sitting on the bed eating ice cream. I turned and turned with no hope of fastening the zip at the back of my dress."Belle, come on, bring your tiny hands here." I shot out. She was such a pain in the ass with a mouth that ran as if she suffered from verbal diarrhoea."Okay, wait a minute though, I am about to finish." She said back with her squeaky voice. I shook my head in frustration."Now Belle." I shot out ready to walk out of this screen and pull her toddler ass in here."Okay," She said back, hearing the patter
"Queen Tiara, King Bad-wolf." I said back to them, giving them a bow of my head for their pleasure.The vampire king did not say anything, making everyone wary with their eyes. They stole glances now and again, afraid to even whisper among themselves. My father nodded, making his way to the chair which was at the edge off the table. The chair next to the king was vacate along with the chair next to the werewolf queen. Ladies were supposed to seat at the left of the table while all the man sat at the right as per rules. I pulled out from Vampir’s wing only to be pulled back in."What are you doing wife?" He questioned with all eyes snapping back to us."Going to take my seat," I whispered back to him but it was futile as everyone in this room had sensitive hearing."Come," He said walking to where he was supposed to be sitting which was in between the werewolf king and Dragon king.
No one had to tell me as I shot out of the bed, running to the bathroom to empty the contents of my stomach. My hands gripped on the toilet bowl as I emptied all that I had had the previous night. My head was pounding with my throat dry as I heaved over the toilet seat. My whole body shook with the tears streaming down my face. Everything was burning hot with nothing but sweat covering my whole body. My hair was suddenly pulled back as I went for round three, pouring all that my stomach held over the bawl. My mouth burned from that passed my tongue, as if acid had just slipped out. My eyes closed, my head leaning on the toilet seat. I felt his hands rub my back, his touch bringing such comfort to me, taking away some of the pain that had me so pale.My whole body shook as a sob escaped me. I did not know what was happening, so scared to find out. My body was scooped, face buried in his chest where he held me. Vampir’s scent sent me on ease, taking whiffs o
I stood where I was, not daring to cower from him because, hell, I was not scared of him. My heart drummed yet I knew I was not scared of him, not even in the slightest. His feet came into a halt, his scent attacking my nostrils, making me nearly sneeze."What have you done?" The question came as his hand flashed so fast I barely caught it as he gripped my jaw so tight, sure to leave it bruised. My heart was frantic not knowing what to do as I stared at him dead in his eyes."Let go of me before I cut that hand of yours," I said through gritted teeth, watching as the smirk returned on his face."I don't know how you are still alive but I will kill you myself if you don't get rid of that thing." His words left me pale as I stood suddenly shaking like a leaf."What thing?" I dared to ask."Your husband may be a fool but I am not. Everyone heard it, everyone knows. You will ge
A knock at the door had me scrambling to the closet where I hid the bottle under my folded clothes. My heart was pounding, not wanting to be caught with the poison as it would render me guilty with no other option but to hang."Come in," I shot through, walking out of the closet, wondering who it was. One of our guards came in pushing a cart full of food, my stomach turning at the sight."Afternoon my queen," He greeted."Afternoon to you too, how are you doing today?" I asked, my shaking hands hidden from sight, in my skirts. My heart beat was so loud I could not miss the guard giving me a questioning look, knowing he was wondering what had me so hyped."Good your majesty. I have brought you your lunch. The others went to find their mates with the king." He stated, placing the different dishes on the table in the living room."Thank you." I said to him only for him to turn and w
"I think that is okay Belle," I objected as she poured more highlighter on my cheekbone."No your highness, they need to gasp, and some faint even when they see you. Don't be shy now." She said, standing in her chair with the brush stroking the powder, blending it with my skin. I did not even want to see how I looked having seen all the things she put on my face with colors like pink and red. This girl would have me look like a freak show yet I sat there, her body hiding me from the view of the mirror as I felt the soft brush stroke my cheek.A chuckle came behind us and I knew who it was. I dared to turn my head to look back only to find the king standing at the door of the closet, fully dressed."Hey!" Came Isabelle, scolding for just turning away but I could barely even hear her as everything went buzzing. A smirk was placed on the king's face with his eyes on us. I could not breathe, could not even blink as I sat there frozen."Holy shit," Isabelle said to herself, knowing exactly
His hand was suddenly withdrawn and I found myself staring at thin air in front of me with him gone. I stood there shaking like a leaf, not knowing what had just happened but scared and scarred for the rest of my life. My whole body itched, it being that intense. I could not move, could not even blink as I stood there with the tears flowing down not even sure why I was crying. It was ten minutes later when I turned only to find Isabelle huddled at the corner shaking like a leaf herself. Her eyes were wide open as if she had just seen the ripper about to take her soul. Her legs were brought up to her chest as she shook so bad. I wanted to comfort her but even after all this time I found myself unable to move. It seemed my limbs were paralyzed and at that moment I felt it. My stomach was warm but warm from within. I could not describe it, it was a feeling of warmth. My hand went over to my stomach, lying on it. More tears pooled out, rolling down my cheeks as my heart skipped a beat. A

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
