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
That encounter with King Cassius had turned out more favourable than I could have anticipated. Although we weren't friends yet, he regarded me much better and he surprisingly seeked my opinion on a few trivial things. Thankfully, the meeting with the wolves of the Silver Moon Pack went very well and according to the gossip circulating around the castle, The Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack and King Cassius have become allies. King Cassius made a public announcement that a party would be held to celebrate the new relationship that had been formed between both species. This is definitely the kind of news that I'd like to hear, I just wish that other packs follow the same path as Silver Moon. After I finish this mission and return back to the Kizmet Pack, I'll try to convince Alpha Richard to form an alliance with King Cassius as well. It would be a thing of joy if we all could unite. As for the maltreatment of humans, that was sure to end with the marriage of King Cassius and Lucia, I gue
My plan has been going quite well. I've somehow been able to get most of the ingredients without garnering any suspicion. Well Anika is the one who actually gets them for me, I usually just create situations in which it would seem like I need them. To be honest, Anika seems like the carefree type so she doesn't really ask me what I need them for but I still make sure to be careful and not just ask for them randomly.There is only one more thing that I need for this potion to work, the hair or blood of the person or people for which it is intended.There's no way in this world I can get blood from King Cassius so his hair will just have to do but still, getting his hair is not as easy as it sounds.I would have to get really close to him in order to do that and for good reason too. I know that it's risky due to the fact that King Cassius is very perceptive and one little mistake could expose my whole plan but still, I won't let fear stop me from carrying out my goal. I've already come
I began shaking before I knew it, fresh tears gathering at the edge of my eyes."You don't have to worry, it's not too deep. I just have to take you to the Pack house quickly so you can be safe before I deal with this bastard. I won't show him mercy this time for making an attempt on the love of my life." Zephyr assured me and took me in a hug, patting my back soothingly.We detached from the hug and looked to where Ruben was formerly laying, he was nowhere to be found and I could feel my adrenaline rush. "Evelyn!" Zephyr called suddenly, making my heart nearly leap out of my chest. Before I have time to wonder what might be going on, he grabs a hold of my wrist and crashes my body against his in a hug, instantly turning us around and switching our position and barely a few seconds later, I hear a sick sound of metal digging into flesh. I immediately feel nauseous as the vomit quickly rushes up my throat but I manage to hold it back.Still in his tight embrace, I take a look and see
After returning to my room, only then did I realize how harsh I had been to Zephyr. I had never acted like that towards anyone before but I was so filled with anger and the memories of my past suffering that I went overboard just a little bit. I felt a little guilty but I decided that I wouldn't apologize to him. He deserved everything he got.When I returned to my room, Nevaeh was fast asleep once more and I thanked my mum for her efforts but she asked me about what happened between Zephyr and I and I told her I was feeling too tired to talk. I would be willing to discuss it the next day because I'm tired and a pregnant woman really needs her sleep.She left and I took a bath before going to bed.I woke up early the next day and prepared for the meeting while I left Nevaeh with my mother since Linda was apparently too careless. I wouldn't have to go through any of this if the girl would just do her job right. I only took her with me because she's Emily's cousin.I made my way to the
Special Chapter: Zephyr's POVEvelyn released a sarcastic laugh before continuing."When did you reject her? You rejected her when you rejected and banished me four years ago because I was probably already pregnant with her but you heartlessly separated me from the only family I had ever known and forced me into the wilderness.My daughter and I would have died if a kind woman hadn't found me, freezing to death in a heavy storm. She took me in and provided me with everything that your petty revenge had stolen away from me, love, care and family. She gave me even more than I had lost and I'll always be grateful to her.When I found out I was pregnant with your child, I was disgusted because I was reminded of how she had been conceived. Your brutality almost made me kill one of the most beautiful things in my life but I managed to stop myself in the nick of time.I didn't want my daughter to be born to a man like you, or have to refer to someone like you as father but the people around
Special Chapter: Zephyr's POV"How old are you?" I asked her once more. "I'm three years old." She answered and everything was quickly starting to come together. I'm almost sure that Evelyn is her mother but then again, it might just be a coincidence, especially since I've not seen the both of them together. I can't just go around hurling accusations without any evidence, especially since Evelyn is currently a guest here. I have to find out the truth no matter what."Now will you help me find my mummy, Mr?" Nevaeh asked, bringing me back to the present."Of course but I need to find out something first. What is your mother's name?" I asked and she said nothing at first, almost as if she was contemplating whether to tell me or not. She finally answered shortly."I'm sorry but I can't tell you. You're a stranger and my mummy says not to tell her name to strangers." Nevaeh said and her words hit me straight in the heart. My own daughter thinks I'm a stranger and I can't do anything about
Special Chapter: Author's POVLinda sat and watched Nevaeh as she slept but the young girl soon grew bored and decided to take a short snack break.She checked and made sure that Nevaeh seemed comfortable before quietly leaving the room.Shortly after, the sleeping child turned around on her side, as she attempted to fully go back to sleep, lightning flashed and thunder struck, instantly waking her up with a scare. Nevaeh quickly sat up and looked around, frightened, her vision was a bit blurry due to sleep but she was still aware of her surroundings.She scratched at her eyes a bit and looked around but she found no one. She called out to her mum and Linda but she got no reply and she became very scared.At the sound of another thunderbolt, Nevaeh practically jumped from the bed and began crying. She walked around the room and even went to the bathroom but she still couldn't find anyone. She kept calling out to her mother but all she could hear was the sound of her own voice and the
I sighed as Linda helped me get ready. I really don't want to go to this party, I don't know why but I have a pretty bad feeling about it. I won't let myself be fooled by him, I'm pretty sure that Zephyr has a motive behind this party but I can't seem to figure out what it is.Even though I don't want to, I have no choice but to go and besides, I want to know what Zephyr has planned for me.She finishes putting my hair in a tight bun and places a tiara on my head."Take it off." I order instantly and she seems stunned for a moment."But why your highness? It suits you perfectly, delicately complimenting your beauty and besides, you're a Princess." She said with a smile and I wanted to play into her innocent mindset but I couldn't. She's ignorant and naive, she has no idea about my past and she certainly doesn't know how much I want to avoid Zephyr and hide the truth of my current life from him."You don't have the right to question me Linda, I said take it off now." I replied harshly
Lydia turned out to be a very cute and chubby baby, she was just so cuddly that I felt like holding her in my arms forever, she also was a very quiet child which made being with her all the more enjoyable. I introduced Nevaeh to her and my smartass daughter wanted to carry her baby cousin so I sat Nevie down and placed Lydia in her arms. Nevaeh squealed when Lydia touched her nose with her small hand and we all laughed because it was the cutest thing ever. I really wish things could keep being like this, just me and my family having the time of our lives with no more problems. That would be the best gift ever.Just then, we heard a knock on the door and my mum went to answer. She had a short and low conversation with whoever was at the door before returning to us with a worried face."The Alpha just called your father and I and I don't necessarily have a good feeling about it." My mother revealed.Since it's the Alpha calling, they have no choice but to go. "You both should go, if he
"Your daughter? But how is that even possible?" My mother questioned and then I realized that no one else knew what had happened between me and Zephyr the night before he banished me.They only knew about my banishment, they didn't know that he had sexually assaulted me and I would have to be reminded of that terrible experience. I would just have to tell them but I couldn't do it in front of Nevaeh, I would just have to take her somewhere else.As if on cue, I heard a knock on my door and it opened shortly after to show Linda. I smiled at her arrival, happy that she would be able to take care of Nevaeh while I told my parents everything."I'm so sorry your highness, I didn't mean to barge in like this but you said to come to your room shortly after we got settled in. Am I interrupting your discussion? I'll leave right now." She said but I stopped her."Wait! I didn't say you could leave, did I?" I questioned and she instantly apologized."I'm so sorry your highness, I just thought th
Everything suddenly became blurry, a sudden cold rushed over me and my heart stopped for a split second. I stood there frozen, trying to figure what I was supposed to be feeling, the numbness was almost impenetrable."Evelyn." My father called but I could barely hear him, I couldn't tell what was going on, I had suddenly lost touch with everything."Evelyn." My mother called and shook me vigorously and when she did, the words finally hit me again, breaking through my emotional barriers."Noooooooo….." I whimpered, the tears pouring down my cheeks. "How could that be? No, you're lying to me. Moira is a strong girl, she wouldn't just die. It's OK if she doesn't want to see me right now, I'll wait until she's ready." I tried to lie to myself but it just wasn't working. The words were continuously ringing in my head and my heart was aching.I know that Moira and I had never really gotten along much but she's still my little sister. I carried her in my arms after she was born and I love he
