Special Chapter: Kayden's POVI stilled, and I felt her tense up as well as the person slowly came out of the shadows and into the light of the moon.I heard the woman release a sigh of relief and that made my heart rate calm down just a tad bit. It seems this person might not hurt us."Gath, thank goodness it's you. You gave us such a fright." She said with a smile and he scratched the back of his neck sheepishly. "Sorry, captain." He apologized."What happened to you? How did you get hurt? And who's he?" He questioned spasmodically."One question at a time please." She blurted with an annoyed look. "I'm sorry." He apologized once more. "We were attacked by the Vampires you were supposed to mislead. You did a great job by leading them away from him but I think they caught on quickly because they came back and I had to kill them. We both got hurt when I tried to eliminate them but thankfully, it's not more than this. As for introductions, we can do that later in the hideout. We have t
Kayden's POVI almost couldn’t believe it. It seems providence had finally smiled on me because who I was searching for was right in front of me the whole time. She had come to me, to save me. Now that I think about it, it makes absolute sense. Lucia, the Vampire King's mate, was said to be a vampire hunter by Voithós and this woman is certainly a vampire hunter. I almost can’t believe that the one I’m looking for is right in front of me.“You’re Lucia Fitzherbert?” I questioned, just to be sure. “ Yes, you sound a little shocked. Do you know me by any chance?” She questioned with a suspicious gaze and I instantly had the urge to facepalm myself. I should really be careful with the things I say while I’m here.“No, no. I’m sure we’ve never met before. It’s just that your name sounds very special. I really like it.” I quickly said, hoping that she would believe me and I heaved a sigh when she laughed. This is the first time I’ve heard her laugh out loud and to be honest, she has a beau
My eyes fluttered open casually but the bright light from the window was so blinding that I had to shut them right back. I opened my eyes once more and blinked a few times before my eyes finally adjusted to the light. I tried to sit up but my head hurt like crazy and my hand came to my temple spontaneously, rubbing it soothingly. I waited a few minutes before attempting to sit up again so I could at least get a whiff of my surroundings. I looked around and found that I was in a huge, beautiful room and this left me completely puzzled. I tried to remember why I was here but no matter how hard I tried, my brain remained blank. Just then, the door barged open and a mean looking man came in. The glare he sent my way not only gave me shivers but also gave my memory the jolt it needed.“Welcome back to the world of the living princess, do you need anything else?” Jared questioned and the sarcasm in his voice was as sharp as a knife’s edge. “Get the fuck up before I make you stand up!” He ye
No, this couldn't be. I can't let this happen, I have to do something. I have to stay in this palace at all costs and I have to take control of my own fate. I've come too far to just be dismissed like this. I don't care what happens after this but I have to at least try.Sir Carter instantly grabbed hold of my arm, wanting to drag me away but I shook his hand off of him. "Please, your Majesty, don't do this. I beg of you." I pleaded, immediately falling on my knees."How dare you speak in His Majesty's presence. You'll surely die today you ungrateful bitch!" Sir Carter yelled and attempted to hit me again but King Cassius stopped him, leaving me in shock."Don't. You don't have to hit her. Let her speak, I would like to hear what she has to say." He said and I wondered just what was going through his mind.Nonetheless, I was grateful for being given a chance to speak and so I took it. I knelt down properly, placing both hands on the marble floor and practically bowing to him. My body
My teeth are chattering in fear as the situation unfolds before me. “Open this door right now or we’ll have to break it down.” I heard Sir Carter threaten from the other side of the door. “So you’re a stowaway, huh?” The vampire in front of me questioned before caressing my face softly. “Don’t touch me.”I snapped and slapped his hand off before turning my face away in humiliation. Doesn’t he have any decency? He smirked and in the blink of an eye, he left from where I stood and was by a wardrobe. He grabbed a robe and put it on and though the fact that he wasn’t naked anymore was relieving, it was actually the least of my problems.“Are you just going to leave me here and in the middle of our fun?” The girl on the bed finally spoke as she sat up, covering herself with the covers. From her glowing pale skin, I could tell she was also a vampire. I saw the bite mark on her neck, his fangs had left two bloodied holes on her neck and the sight of it almost made me want to throw up. It was
Sir Carter seemed to be happy about the prince getting reprimanded because he jeered at him while I saw Prince Virgil clench his fists helplessly but King Cassius’s next words certainly took us all by surprise.“Virgil, you’re the mighty prince of Luceras, you’re not expected to get into fights for any reason, I expect you to take what you want. I had given her away to Sir Carter and if you wanted her, you could have just asked. Never do anything that is below your status.” King Cassius said with an emotionless expression. The shock that instantly registered on Sir Carter’s face was so funny that it was almost impossible not to laugh but I remembered the type of situation I’m currently in so I just placed my hand over my mouth and giggled silently. This King Cassius is certainly one hell of an unpredictable man. Not only are his expressions unreadable, you never know what to expect.A smile lit Prince Virgil’s face at King Cassius’s words. “I apologize to you brother, for my misbehavi
“You know you look so cute when you’re frightened but you really don’t have to be so scared of me. I won’t hurt you……… yet.” He said and turned away from me and I didn’t even know if I should feel relieved or not. “The task is simple, just behave and do whatever I tell you to without question and we’ll get along fine. I’m not like Carter and the others who derive pleasure from hurting innocent little girls. I won’t harm you if I don’t have to.” He said and sat on his bed, legs crossed in an annoyingly provocative position.“What do you want from me?” The words left my mouth before I could even stop them. He laughed softly before staring at me intently, which instantly made me feel nervous. “I love how bold you’ve suddenly become but what I love more is the deliciously satisfying smell of fear that your body is radiating right now.” He said and I gulped. So they can smell fear as well, what can’t they do? Things just keep getting dangerously complicated.“Since you’re very eager to kno
I stand up instantly in fear but my nerves relax when I see that it's just Anika. The older woman entered the room with a tray of food in her hand and I didn't even realize when I beamed a smile.She dropped the tray on a stool in front of me and I thanked her."I thought you might be hungry." She said and I smiled at her. "I am, thank you again." I replied and opened up the dish and immediately I did, I almost gagged at the sight of the food in front of me. It looked gross and I almost lost my appetite right there and then."Gross! What's this?" The words slipped out of my mouth before I could stop them and my hand instinctively came to my mouth, to stop myself from saying anymore nonsense.I thought Anika would be angry and scold me because of my not so polite remark but she just chuckled and looked at me kindly."There's really no need to be so dramatic. It's split pea soup and It actually tastes far better than it looks. Just give it a try and I promise you won't regret it." She s
