Special Chapter: Kayden's POVEveryone had already woken up and were getting ready. Since they didn't exactly have a bathroom, they did all their business, even bathing, a little farther into the forest. Their source of water was from a lake nearby and despite the fact that it was a simple and somewhat peaceful life, it's pretty obvious that these people deserve better. They've all been through a lot. Besides, this is originally their kingdom so they shouldn't be forced to hide out in trees.I had just returned from a bath by the lake and I saw that Lucia was preparing to leave. "Where are you going?" I questioned, approaching her. "Patrol." She said simply and despite the fact that the question sounded stupid, I asked anyway."To where and why?" I questioned as I gently plopped on the floor, trying my best not to hurt my still injured back."I'm generally not supposed to answer that but I will. We're going to the market in the city for patrol, it's morning so less vampires will be ou
After crying my eyes out for almost an hour, I was too tired to even get to bed. The effect of the blood wine in my system was wearing out but it had not completely died down. It had felt just like an aphrodisiac, it made me so horny that I had thought about touching myself but the deep sadness that I felt within was thankfully my only source of self control.The drink was wearing out but due to the unrelease of the pent up sexual tension, I was starting to feel extremely tired. I wiped my tears and attempted to stand up but my vision blurred so badly that I staggered and fell back down.Since I can't even walk to bed, it seems crawling is my only option. I crawled towards the bed sluggishly and I was only a few meters away when I collapsed, my body punishing me by completely giving out. I didn't even need to close my eyes because they shut on their own and everything else turned to a haze.**************My eyes flew open when I felt something cold and wet engulf me. The first thing
Thankfully, he didn't give me much time to think before he continued."Your blood is the sweetest I've ever tasted, it's almost intoxicating. I'm tempted to drink from you right here and now but I won't because I might not be able to exercise self control. I don't want to drain you of all your delicious blood so soon, I'd like to have you by my side a little longer." He said and completely pulled away."Have a bath, get ready quickly and eat very well. I'll be back and when I return, I'd like to feed well." He said and turned towards the door. It seems like he's going out, but where?"Wait." I called suddenly and he stopped but he didn't turn back. "What is it?" He questioned monotonously. "Where……… Where are you going?" I questioned, expecting that he wouldn't tell me but he surprised me."Well that's definitely surprising. I thought you'd be happy and probably jubilate at the news of my outing but you rather seem concerned. I like how unpredictable you're becoming, you're certainly
I instantly look down, not daring to maintain eye contact with him. I can feel his intense gaze on me, and it feels like he is not just looking at me, it almost feels like he is gazing into my soul, trying to uncover all my secrets.Thankfully, Prince Virgil arrives from within the room. "Woah, you look even more beautiful all dressed up, kitten. That dress looks like it was specially made for your body. " He said and I managed a small smile.King Cassius sighed and it was the type that usually accompanied an eye roll. I still haven't been able to figure out this man's problem with me. I'm suddenly pulled away from my thoughts when King Cassius lifts my chin up, forcing me to share a gaze with him and those enchanting eyes almost leave me frozen."You should know better than to bad mouth me right here in my presence." He said tautly and I gulped. Of course, I mentally kicked myself when I remembered, I had forgotten about the mind reading again."But I didn't say anything….." I mutte
Prince Virgil's voice continuously echoes in the distance and my fear increases with each dangerous step that he takes closer to my hiding place.What should I do? If he catches me and Kayden like this then he'll definitely know that something is up. No lie will be able to cover this up, he'll see right through me and probably torture us until we speak the truth. The thought of this pumps more adrenaline into my blood and an amazing idea quickly forms in my mind."Kayden." I call in a whisper and he turns to me. "I know how we can get out of this unscathed but it involves violence." I tell him and I instantly see him hesitate. He's just so sweet. "What do you mean violence? Who's going to get hurt? If it's you then forget about it. I would have fought these Vampires off easily but then again, I've got no wolf and I'm currently injured so there's no escape from this." He said and I knew he was ready for anything but things didn't have to end this way, I wouldn't let it happen."We'll g
It's been almost a week and I've been unable to come up with a good plan on how to win the King's trust. Forget about gaining his trust, the thought of being in front of him again scares me so much.He's just so fierce and sometimes I get discouraged realizing how difficult it would be to make such a person fall in love. Right now, it's looking literally impossible but I'll give it my best no matter what.Prince Virgil has been a lot nicer to me but strangely, he still refuses to call me by my name but I don't mind it anymore. As long as he's nice to me, doesn't punish me and doesn't attempt to have sex with me, he can call me whatever the hell he wants.Seven whole days of mainly staying in my room and in bed because Prince Virgil wants to be sure that I recover fully. I think he's taking it a little too far, it was just a hit to the head, it's not like I would have died or anything.Just as I'm thinking about him, my door throws open and he shows up looking all majestic. Speak of th
"What are you doing here, human? Are you spying on me now? Who sent you?" He questioned and bared his claws bringing them to rest on my neck. At that moment, my knees felt weak and if not for his grip on me, I probably would have fallen down.I had known staying alive for long in this castle would be difficult but I certainly had not expected my life to end this way, and simply because of an honest mistake."I……. I……" I tried to speak but I just kept stuttering. "Speak up before I slit your throat. Why are you spying on me and who sent you here?" He questioned aggressively, his crimson red eyes darkening. This man is beautiful no doubt but he certainly is the scariest person I've met, he just emits that dangerous vibes that pushes your mind into panic mode. I'm trying to tell him the reason why I'm here but my brain is simply refusing to form a single coherent sentence despite the fact that my life is on the line."Your Majesty, I…… Prince Virgil…… He ……...I wanted to…… Read." I was
I looked up and saw King Cassius laughing for the first time, it was a very pleasant sight. He laughed heartily and he didn't look like the evil king he was portraying himself to be but rather like a young man who would rather enjoy the small joys of life.His laughter stopped as abruptly as it had started, I saw him wipe a small tear from his eye. "You know you're very funny, little human. On another occasion, you would have been punished but since you've made me laugh after such a long time, I'll forgive your ignorance. You can't possibly help me, what would you know? I advise that you just stay within your limits." He said and resumed his signature poker face but I wasn't going to give up just like that."I'm sorry your Majesty but I'll have to disagree with you, I know a lot more than you think and despite the fact that I might not know everything, I feel confident that I might be able to help you in some way if you would just let me." I said confidently, praying that this sudden
