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
Narrator Meanwhile down in the dungeon, David was left alone with Carol’s father, the vampire king. While the king contemplated on whether he really should talk to David, the last words his daughter left him with replayed in his mind. “Daddy. I love you so much. But.... David is my future. And if you speak with him, I’m sure that you will realise that he really is innocent. And if he suffers any more of those beatings, I promise you daddy, you will not see me again.” He could see how hurt and broken she looked. Her face, which was usually lively and joyful, was flushed and red with fury and the pain she felt from what had happened. She had tried her best to hold back her tears and sobs, which she had failed to hide from her father. “S...sire....” his thoughts were disturbed by
Narrator David stared at king Richard. He was not surprised. In fact, he would expect those elders to do something stupid like that. King Richard studied David’s demeanour and realised that his courage was not wavering. He stood tall and proud and stared right into his eyes. There was not even a hint of deception in David’s baby blue eyes. His mouth was paused in a grim line while his eyebrows were wrinkled together in a deep frown. He didn’t look like someone who would try to deceive anyone. He expected David to scream and deny the king’s allegations. He wanted to see him protest against the injustice he had faced. At least he thought that David would voice his rights when he was locked upBut none of that happened, the vampire king felt his anger slowly dissipate. He knew David was being patient. King Richard sighed and continued with his little speech.
David pov I followed Carol’s father out of the dungeons and towards the palace. Euphoric feelings were making my heart flutter. It felt so good to know that I was no longer a prisoner, after being confined unjustly. Yes, I was retrained just for a few hours. And they were only able to do that because I let them. I could have easily broken free from their dungeon easily but I didn’t want to. I may be a powerful lycan, but still, it was painful when I was being beaten up. I never thought that my beautiful little gem would feel those beatings. I will never let anyone beat me ever again. I don’t want her to feel any pain. I want her to be pampered. I want her to feel loved. Because she deserved all the good things in life. After I was forced to leave my pack, I would have led my life thinking that I would never be loved ever again. That I am not worthy of being wanted or affecti
Narrator Months passed by and things stayed the same for David. His life finally started to flourish with his being accepted into the vampire kingdom. Even back in the pack, life was going on as if nothing wrong had happened. Cade and Hailey continued being the appointed alpha and Luna of the pack. They had the utmost support of the elders since Hailey’s father was the high elder. They had practically no problems at all. Until Hailey started to feel Cade distancing himself from her. He started to not return from alpha duties until it was awfully late. And by the time he did come back, Hailey would be too tired. After all, she was the Luna of the pack and the duties of the Luna is not a simple thing. But then there came a day Hailey expected him to come back early. It was
Narrator Hailey lay beside Cade wide awake for a long time. She just couldn’t sleep. Different thoughts kept disturbing her until finally her eyes started to get too heavy for her keep them open. However, by that time it was already sunrise and Cade woke up to start his day shortly after. After giving a bored look to his chosen Luna who slept beside him, he freshened up and left. When Hailey woke up, it was already almost noon. Frantically looking around for any signs of Cade, she ran around the alpha quarters in her night gown and soon realised that it has been quiet some time since he left. She looked at the untouched table that she had set for last night. Her eyes stung with tears she remembered how eager she was for that night. She was longing for him to come and hopefully spend some time together. After all, the pack duties have caused them to spend fewer and fewer quality time together. However, it looks like that she was mistaken. Perhaps it was
Narrator Months passed by, and now David is fully accepted by the vampire community. They were fully aware of who he was. The commoners were faithful to the throne. And they trusted their superiors enough to accept their judgement without any hesitation. Even those who had tortured him had come to apologize and swear their loyalty to their ruler, who David gracefully forgave. They were grateful for that and swore to protect their future king and queen with their lives. Evan passed the test after his training sessions with flying colours and soon joined the army. He and Nolan were the most hard working youngsters among those who joined recently. King Richard knew that though David was young, he would have enough experience of fighting. After all, he was the reason they couldn’t defeat the werewolf army the first time they attacked.
