David pov.
I was really happy for Evan. It was great that his beloved was just as nice and kind hearted as he was. They truly were compatible with each other. Carol had started distancing herself from me, which I thought is the best for both of us. But without her to hang out, it was boring. My life at the palace was kind of scheduled. I would have been bored to death if not for Evan and Nolan.
I got up one day and walked towards the gate of the palace. It was still day time, so the whole place was practically deserted, except for a few guards who had to guard the palace. It has been a long time since I went out for a run. Perhaps today I should do that. I walked towards the side door since the main gate would be locked at this time of the day and stepped outside.
The hot afternoon sun heat
Carol pov. Bolting towards my room, I wished that I had better control over my tongue. I almost told him everything I saw in my dream. Yes it was worrying to see him morph into something else but what happened after and before that must stay a secret. I slammed the door to my room shut and covered my face. My racing heart and uneven breaths didn’t make it any easier for me. Slowly and steadily, I slid down the door, my face still covered with my hands. Angry tears started to spill from my eyes . Clenching my hair in frustration, I screamed in to my knees, as I pressed my face against the fabric of my leggings. Stupid emotions. Stupid feelings. They are now messing up my dreams. I never thought that it could happen to me. I never thought I would feel so much for someone before I found my beloved. Why did my life have to be so messed up? I hate it. My mind drifted back t
Carol pov. I trained like I never did and ignored David for most of the time. I hated it. I hated ignoring him. My heart ached but I must force myself to forget these pointless emotions. I just had to. It was a good thing that David had bonded with Nolan and Evan. And I was grateful for Kat and Elle. At least both of us had someone else to hangout with. When it was time for Mrs. Cosmo’s class, David sat in his regular spot while I sat on mine. Kat and the others wouldn’t attend this class. Which meant I didn’t have a choice except to face him. At least Mrs. Cosmo was strict enough to forbid us from engaging with each other in any kind of conversation. Mrs. Cosmo’s dull and monotonous voice made me feel just half-present in the class. The open window where I caught a glimpse of the dreamy night sky was way interesting. How would it feel to stroll outside under the stars
Narrator It was her birth week. The whole palace was preparing for the big day. Everyone in the whole kingdom was excited about it. After all, it is something big when the heir to the throne turns eighteen. Then, some of the royal duties and secrets will be shared with her. She will be slowly taking over the throne and by the time she turns 20, she would be ready to be crowned as queen. The other thing is, she will be hopefully finding a loved one, which is a big deal for them. The whole kingdom was preparing for that. Everyone was trying to do something and be part of the huge day. Well, everyone except Carol. She wished she could make the time stop. She hoped that she could plead with her dad so that she could skip the ceremony and choose not to find her destined mate. She was not ready to find him. She didn’t want to be prepared. She wanted to be able to choose. But she k
David pov. “Mate!!! Mate!!!” Finn kept chanting in my mind. “She is our mate!” his words repeated in my mind. What in the world..... She smiled at me and averted her gaze, as if nothing had happened. She smiled at the gathered crowd, which consisted of several unmated young vampires. Of course she wouldn’t feel the bond like this. She would only realise the bond by touch. Finn growled possessively. “Grab her. Claim her. She is ours. Those unmated vampires are ogling her. I want to pluck their eyes off their sockets!!!” he kept growling, baring his teeth. He was right. Many males present in the gathering were gawking at their princess. How dare they? They have no right to look at her like that. She is their princess, th
David pov “Mate....” she whispered back and visibly leaned into my touch, her lips slowly curving into a sweet smile. The wonderful sparks of the mate bond erupted upon our skin contacting and I couldn’t stop myself from grinning at her. Her enchanting smile was a constant on her rouge lips, and my heart which was rapidly beating the whole time, suddenly melted away. Finn was bouncing in joy and punching his fist in the air, elevated that his mate had accepted him. “David? It was you the whole time?” she asked, in a hushed tone. Maintaining eye contact, she placed her soft hands on mine which was still on her cheeks. My thumbs traced her full lips, which I suddenly found very interesting. “What is the meaning of this?” the king’s voice boomed across the hall, echoing and taking me o
narrator. David was taken to the dungeons and locked up in a cell that was specially prepared for prisoners captured from war. The soldiers strapped each hand to the silver chains that were attached to the wall of the cell, which surprised them because it didn’t burn his skin as they expected it to. David was smirking at them the whole time. “Doesn’t this hurt him?” one of them murmured. “I wonder if this is real silver.” Another one replied, scratching his head in confusion. “Just strap him up. Silver or not, he won’t be able to get away from this.” One of them urged, making David's smirk grow wider. Laughing to himself, he sat on the cold concrete floor when they were done locking him up. But right before they left him alone, one of them glanced at his face and noticed that their prison
David pov. “That hurt.” I muttered to myself as I leaned against the cold dungeon walls. These cells were colder and darker than the palace but with my wolf vision, I was able to see my surroundings. The cell was enough to fit in three or four inmates but there was just one chain on the wall. This cell was completely empty other than that. I suppose this was designed for the sole purpose of torturing their prisoners. The walls consisted of large bricks that seemed to have aged. I noticed small bugs and insects crawling across the floor and the walls. Some of them kept disappearing into small holes and cracks in the walls. The foul smell of the place, which possibly meant that this place had not been cleaned that often, made it difficult to breathe. I wrinkled my nose as I caught a whiff of a pungent smell. “Is that wolfsbane I smell?” I asked Finn.
Carol pov I loved how the sparks exploded each time our skin contacted. It gave me a weird sensation each time. Those sparks would tingle, giving a completely new feeling of pleasure to me, something which I had never felt before. Something I was already in love with. It was like a drug. With each touch, it only got better. I kept yearning for more. And after that brief kiss, I felt as if I wanted more. If that was what a simple kiss could do, I wonder what our marks could do to us. I suppose we would be inseparable. Perhaps that was the whole reason why daddy wanted me to find my beloved. And maybe that was the reason that even after years my mother died, he just couldn’t find anyone else as a life partner. I snuggled into his chest and sighed in content. A small chuckle escaped my lips as I thought of how shocked he looked when I kissed him. He looked so cute and inn
