We walked up to the stage where the other rulers of the other realms stood watching everything unfold. There was nothing but deadly stares staring at us but what else would you expect. The vampire king snapped his hand and suddenly all the other people in the room finally stood up, their heads still bowed yet there were those that dared to steal peaks. No one dared to say a word with even the music stopped, everyone scared to pick up the conversation again. We walked, closing in on the royals only for our steps to come to a halt. I looked up, seeing that more rulers had joined us including the fairy king and giant king. We said our greeting, everyone uptight and walking on egg shells. I found my mind drifting away with the chatter slowly coming back up in the room with the music back playing. The whole room was just tense.Chairs had been placed for the kings and queen on the stages. The werewolf king sat on his throne along with the queen then it was my husband
I got to the chair only for the vampire king to shoot up, having my eyes look up to him as everyone in the room stood still again."A dance, wife?" He asked, taking me by surprise as his arm hooked around my waist having me still myself. I blinked but I was already being led down the steps of the podium with the live orchestra quick to start on a song, the crowd clearing and opening a large area for us to dance.The king's steps came to a halt as he held out his hand, guiding me around him with his eyes staring directly at mine. My breath hitched as I stared into his orbs, a smirk on his face having my heart flutter.He pulled me to him where his hand went around my waist with mine on his shoulder and we waltzed around the floor. His steps were fluid as he took the lead, dancing as if he was born for it. Soon everyone else had disappeared as we danced. My body fit his like a glove, our bodies conversing and underst
I sighed, darkness engulfing me with it seeming as if I was in a cloud where I could not get out. Panic set in as I groaned, my head turning, wanting to part from the darkness but it seemed to cling to me like a child clings to her mother. Everything hurt, every part of me hurt and confusion only made it worse. So many emotions coursed through me yet one was strong and apparent—loss. A tear slipped past my eye with everything crushing back. I groaned, turning to my side as the pain came hitting me like a brick on the face. The pain was so much I could not breathe, my body shook so bad with my arms wrapped around my frail body. I did not know where I was, did not know what happened yet it was clear as day that my baby was no longer with us. A hole was in my chest, a hole getting bigger and bigger every time I took a breath. I felt empty and torn, everything was so gray it had me cry in the pillow that my head lay in. My mind could not wrap itself around the fact of what had happened,
PROLOGUE THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO The Goddess of light tracked through the white passage made of crystal glass with the sun having it sparkle. The light flood through it, sending kaleidoscopic shapes and colors all over the white shiny floor where her feet kissed. She could hear the angels sing from where she was, voices so magical they had one mesmerized yet she found herself taking off jogging with tears shimmering in her eyes. She knew she had little to no time and she had to get to him no matter what. Her hands shook, a flood of emotion running through her, something frowned upon, something only she had and it was an abomination. Her white robe floated all around her with her golden crown floating above her head. Her world was trembling— falling apart and she had to leave. Her feet carried her out of the Holy sanctuary, carrying her outside. She ran, wind she had created blowing all around her, dancing and twirling around her being as she could hear it whisper to her. If this was
THOUSANDS OF YEARS LATER ANASTASIA'S P.O.V I was cold, so cold my body shivered. My hands were blue, my lips dry and chirped. I don’t know how long I had been here but it felt as if it had been forever. I cried and cried until I could not cry anymore, thinking the pain would numb but it only got worse. I felt empty and alone, felt hurt and betrayed. How could he do this to me? His words kept playing like a broken record and I could not get them out of my head. The cell was one made of steel, covering all around with no bars but just a door. It was clean with a sink and a toilet along with a clean single bed. I lay curled on the bed, a tune sang as it felt as if I was losing my mind. My arms were wrapped around my stomach which hurt badly as if someone was turning my insides. I had screamed for help but no one came to help, no one cared at this point and I was going to lose my baby. It was what they wanted,wasn’t it? It was to see me in th
“Please Husband, our baby is dying, please.” I cried out so desperately with my heart tearing apart. The door was slammed so hard I flinched,hearing it lock behind him. My hands shook with me collapsing on the floor. I had nothing else to say, had no other plan. I had failed my little angel, maybe if I had told him sooner then this would not have happened. Maybe if I had not emptied the bottle of poison, I would have had a fair chance of convincing him. Guilt and loss ate at me with me seeing no way out.I lay on the cold floor, drifting in and out of consciousness. I lost the sense of time as everything span all around me. I kept drifting off to this dark place that had my skin shudder, it smelt and felt like death,having me kick and fight to get out. The darkness was pulling me in with the screams loud in my ears so I fought harder and harder to get out. I could not give up, I could not give up just yet. I had to fight for
We stood in front of large wooden doors. I could hear the people inside and knew this was it. More tears flooded through, tears I tried but failed to hold. My arms moved around my belly, my heart drumming as my baby was not kicking. Maybe it was a good thing he died on his own other than because his mother had been ripped apart so cruelly. I hoped he found peace, I hoped he had found his way to heaven where he would be singing and dancing with the angels. I prayed he was safe and happy, hoping that one day I would be able to meet him and hold him. There was nothing more I was fighting for. My mate had cast me out and arranged my death and my family had disowned me. Death was all that waited for me but then my mind drifted off to that dark place I had seen and I paled. I did not want to die, I did not want to be tortured by demons where I would never find peace. My tears streamed down but soon the doors were opened and the guards in front of me began walking. I stood where I was, a h
I stared at Vampir's eyes, him wearing his royal robe with his crown on his head. He looked so handsome with his eyes dark and filled with a feeling I could not point out. I stared at him as the memory of us running around the garden hit me. I could remember the first time I had seen him, how scared I was. My heart fluttered as my tears slipped yet I found a smile gracing my face. He stared at me, watching with his eyes getting darker knowing his rage was hitting the roof. He was misinterpreting, his body bolted up his chair and I knew he was on his way down to end me. I stood waiting for it. If I was to die then I would die by his hand.In all the mist, the doors suddenly flew wide open, the sound echoing all over the room so much so I flinched with my eyes snapping to the door. Two young girls around the age of eighteen walked in. They wore simple white dresses that floated all around them. Light suddenly shone through the door, light that could blind. T

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
