The king sighed, his hand running up my hair from my neck. “ The late king…my father. He was obsessed with power. He was obsessed with learning about all the other creatures so he could find their weaknesses and exploit them, find their strength and see if he could make himself just as strong. In turn, he kidnapped a lot of creatures from their homes. This included your own species; werewolves, fairies, dragons, any he could get his hands on.” The king took a deep breath with me just boiling. If that dick wasn’t dead, I would kill him myself. He was just too greedy it was so unnecessary. “ Hundreds of years back, just when he was about to find the queen, his soulmate. There was a dragon girl that he kept in the cells. He would torture all of them every day. I don’t know her name, I don’t know which dragon tribe she was from. All I know is that she was with a child when they took her by the caves of her people. She was a mother.” Dante stopped, seeing his skin get even redder. My han
I screamed so hard, anything I could see, throwing it at the door. My anger had no bounds. I smashed all the tables to little pieces, turning the bed all around. The bathroom got the worst of it, just ripping everything apart. The sink bowls were ripped up and shuttered all over the floor, the shower door hit until it crumbled into a little million pieces. Nothing was safe from me. My skin cut all over, blood painting the walls and floors yet I had not had enough. I went back to the room, turning the couch upside down, everything flipped over, even the rug thrown to the door.“ Come back you fuck’n stupid king so I can mess you up! I fucking hate you! Blood sucking filth.” If he wanted us to do this, he had to come. “ Stop being a bitch, face me!” I screamed, smashing something else. The sun had risen, groaning in frustration. Not even the hours to shave away my anger, nothing to throw anymore, picking up the already shuttered pieces and breaking them further apart, yet I could
I sighed. This was boring, sleep far from me, sitting up as I recalled something.“ Hey, come here.” I called Miss Kiss- Ass, realizing I did not know her real name.She turned, them having sat on the floor as we had been waiting for the past thirty minutes.Seriously, the excitement was lowering down, could he do it already?I pulled the paper I had stolen from the king’s pocket as we had kissed.I wanted to know what had made him go so crazy. I unfolded the paper, dried blood on it with a hand writing as if a toddler wrote it.The scoff could not even be helped, holding the paper out to Miss Kiss-Ass who took it.“ Read aloud, please.” I added the please, wanting to roll my eyes.She took it with shaking hands, she was tired, seeing her just defeated by all means.“ Thank you for training my men. Don’t be fooled and think they have all left. My court is full of my men making sure you don’t get your hands where they don’t belong. How is it like having a court full of people you don
I was thirsty, thirsty for more blood and the lord always delivered as the traitor vampires ran through the court, to stop just not far from us.I nearly danced, walking through our men, wanting to greet our visitors. I walked to the back, staring at them.“ Uncle. Welcome home papa!” I screamed out, hands in the air.The silence was too much, why were were silent?You could feel the tension, it crawling up my body.A loud laugh exploded in the air, pulling my eyes to Uncle who I did not know his name by the way.His head was thrown back, laughing so hard.“ They left you!” He shot out, laughing harder and I could not help but laugh myself.I laughed so hard it hurt.Imagine.“ He must really hate you.” I said, trying to get a hold of myself but failing with tears streaming down. I could not help myself yet each laugh made me more insane, slipping more and more into insanity.My eyes were burning, so hot I thought they were bleeding. I stopped laughing, not the time for pleasantries,
As the men cleared the room, I found a new room for the king and I. I lodged in the next room which had been supposed to be my room originally— the royal queen’s quarters. The room still harbored the late queen’s belongings, clearing them and telling the men to take them where the late king’s things were.The room was dusty, showing that it had been a couple of years since anyone even stepped foot inside. I cleaned up fast, chasing time because who knew when the king would be back.There was so much I just knew he would kill me for, imagining his face when I handed the crown to him. It had to get cleaned. I got a bit carried away with the crown, yet I was not even in the slightest guilty. I blamed the uncle, he took out the creative side in me and set my crazy alight.My head shook, rushing around the room, maybe if Dante found our new lodgings in order he would not be so mad. I took a few of his clothes, hanging them and hanging mine along with his essentials.Where was he? How was i
Of course Vlad was there. Of course the meeting was with that traitor. Just staring at him had my insanity stir in my head. He looked like a traitor, to me it was like he was just holding up a large billboard that was written nothing but ‘traitor’ on it.Dante walked into the office, Vlad already having sat with his red awful eyes staring at me as if to kill me. My wolf did not like him, no part of my body liked him.The king walked around his desk. I thought he would let go of my hand and let me occupy the couch but he did no such thing. He pulled his chair with his hand falling away from mine. It was crazy because I immediately felt as if I was incomplete, missing that warmth, missing that rough touch I was turning so addicted to.The king turned the chair to me, me frowning as I stared at it then him. A smile just spread on my face, never to deny a chance to sit in the king’s chair. I slumped down, him turning it back around to face the desk.I would have giggled. The late king was
Imagine the guilt I would feel if he was truly not a traitor but there was no chance, he smelt of backstabbing and betrayal.Vlad never disappointed, the daggers he was throwing with his eyes just nailing me over and over as I smirked because he was not going to win, there was no way he was winning.“ Is that all?” The king asked with me nodding my head, still staring at Vlad.“ Vlad, go get the men ready.” Dante said, Vlad holding my stare for a second longer before turning around to walk away with no other word spoken from him.I watched the door close, wanting to just jump and punch the air. This was too much fun but Dante was soon obstructing my view.He squatted down before me, pulling my gaze from the door to him.“ Did it hurt?” He suddenly asked with me frowning, not knowing what he was talking about but his hands were on my lips soon, having me realize.“ Yes, but not that much.” I spoke out with him pulling my lips open so I opened my mouth for him.His fingers went in, him
My arms wrapped around my torso, standing and feeling as if I would be blown away by the cold wind.Many of our warriors were leaving to different villages, to add protection. They left with these large arrows to shoot at large dragons in the sky.It had been nothing but chaos in the castle all day and night long, just preparing as every vampire was filled with nothing but fear.I did not care for dragons burning all the villages down. All I cared about was the fact that my soul mate, my king would be at the forefront of it all.My heart was heavy, feeling so cold all of a sudden.My body shook. My arms held it from just splattering apart.I could hear other vampires cry all around, hugging their soul mates and saying goodbye, kissing their families.The vampires were such hypocrites. They had no problem running to war and killing werewolves but now that they were on the receiving side, we had to all cry for them.My mind was everywhere. I was perplexed and contradicting myself. The o
FIVE YEARS LATER“Kia, come on my love, what the hell are you packing?” Flavia asked, running up the stairs until she was in the crown prince’s room. It had been five years since she brought her three beautiful children into the world. Sadly, Kyde and Kaide had already outgrown the house but Dante and Flavia had already made a large warehouse for them just behind the castle where they would sleep.Kia, being obsessed with his siblings, ran every single night to sleep with his older brother and sister. It was a beautiful sight to see. The two dragons would fold themselves and Kia would step in between their cocoon where he would fall dead asleep. It had always been like that and it did not seem as if it would change anytime soon.“Kia, come on.” Flavia called as she pushed the door open into the little boy’s room. He had said he was old enough to pack for himself and as Flavia walked in, she could not help but sigh. Her arms crossed on her chest, a smirk on her face. Her son had turned
23 MONTHS LATER“Don’t touch me!” Queen Flavia; the devious, cruel yet loving vampire queen screamed out to heave right after. Sweat dripped down her whole body, pain searing through her as she groaned out.“Where the hell are you taking your hand?! Don’t you want to hold me anymore? After pumping this baby in me now you don’t want to hold me?”King Dante was left opening his mouth to close it.“But my quee…” His voice trailed away as the doctor peaked up to shake his head and for once, the vampire king took the doctor’s advise and shut his trap.“Aahh! Stupid idiotic man!” Queen Flavia screamed out with another contraction hitting her shaking body hard.“What are you doing there? Just taring at my vagina, get this baby out!” She screamed out, her body collapsing down on the bed.She had been at this for seven hours and she could not do it anymore. The baby should be out, heaving and crying while fuming at everything in the whole wild world. She was strong, she would fight but her con
“ VLAD!” I had never seen the king that angry, he had totally turned a switch when we passed the kingdom barrier. All the vampires from all the villages were at the royal court, summoned through the mind link to report at court or he will hunt each of them down and skin them alive. The threat was loud and clear, carrying so much anger when we got there the vampires were pale and shaking in their boots. I did not interfere, biting my lower lip and swallowing because I had never seen the king that hot. I had got a good pounding all through the day, sore in every way yet he made me burn for him all over again. His hand was so hot, burning hot as he held mine tightly. If I did not have his blood flowing through me, my hand would be fried. His anger was radiating in waves, you could feel it miles away. As we hit the royal court, seeing everyone, I nearly gasped because Dante’s eyes burned with such deep fire in them. I thought he would combust, my heart drumming in my throat so vigorou
“ I am sorry I have failed to protect you over and over again.” Dante said with me nestled in his arms in a way I never had before. I was too lazy to even stare up. My fingers drew on his chest, drawing circles and patterns while trying to imagine how they would look like if I actually used ink. My body was spent and it was one of the greatest days ever. We just lay there after making love in such an explosive way. My heart was beating in rhythm to his, having finally synced together and it felt as if we were living on one life force.“ This was a very rough time for you and I believe I came just in time, the perfect time. As much as you are not my true mate, I believe this was destiny.” I said, my head pulling up to stare at him, wanting to see what his reaction would be. He did not stare my way, having me lower back down with his arm taking it’s place again. He was also drawing his own pattern on my skin and it was the best sensation ever. I did not want him to stop.“ I believe so
My body ached, every inch of it crying out loud as I sighed in my state of slipping from sleep. I was cold, something pouring on me now and again, having me wet where I was. The ground was cold and slippery. I groaned out, a loud sound just attacking my ears over and over. Nothing but confusion clouded me. I tried prying through but all that met me was more confusion, My eyes peeled open, seeing rocks all around, them wet and green from the ever-green moss. I pushed up, my arms coming around my waist, and realizing that I was naked besides for the shirt that had been lain over my body. My head pounded hard, just confused of where I was and what was happening.I realized I was in a cave after much scalping. It was cold and just having me tremble. A waterfall curtain hid me away from what stood beyond yet as I listened, I heard the movement of water. I stared down at the shirt covering me and the pair of pants, shoes and socks folded a few feet away.My body pushed up. I lowered the
“ I am going to rest in my room. It has been long months, I think we all just need rest.” Vlad said with him moving to clasp Dante’s side in a brotherly manner.“ We will, go rest Vlad, and thank you for everything. I appreciate you my friend.” Dante said back.“ Any time brother.” Vlad said out, walking from the king to nod his head as he passed me still nursing the glass of alcohol I just could not finish. The thing tasted awful. I had drank halfway through and that was how far I was going to go. My feet moved, carrying the glass back to the liquor station to place it down. I suddenly felt nervous and I did not know why. I heard the movement behind me and I could not help but get more nervous where I stood. Yet, at the same time, my body sparked with excitement of being near the king.Arms circled around my waist as my body was pulled closer to his. My eyes closed, my head angling to the side slowly as I melted into him. I missed his touch, taking a whiff of his scent deep from the
I was not going to wait any minute longer in that ash field with the wind howling as the weather changed little by little. The sky turned gray just as fast, the wind picking up and having the ash assault our senses. I was not going to let Dante continue standing there, staring at the last piece of his previous life.It was time to heal and let go. They never deserved him and I was going to treasure him like they never did. My hand ran to his which still had blood drip from it. I clenched his fist, letting him know that I was there, that I would always be there.“ Let’s go home my love.” I whispered out.Ten minutes had passed with his uncle dead, his body dry and gray with his heart not anyway different. I was satisfied he was dead, never to come back and haunt us, not even from hell where he was going. My lips lay on the king’s exposed arm. Too much had happened and I just wanted to hold him for the rest of the night while whispering that we would be okay over and over again.His hea
“ When we are done with this, what do you want, anything?” He asked having me to chuckle as a smile spread little by little over my face.“ Me and you alone for a week in our room, only going out to swim naked in the lake or stroll in the gardens.” I said out with a chuckle pulled from the king as a smile slowly crept over his face.“ I like that.” He said back with me liking the sound of that too. His head dipped down again, claiming my lips. We held each other as if we would not get another chance. We kissed each other as if we would not get another chance again. It felt like years later when he pulled back, my toes curled. He smiled at me with such sweetness it had my whole body as if to curl into this beautiful flower. His thumb brushed on my cheek and I loved it so much.“ I love you my queen.”“ And I love you my king.” I said back happily and sheepishly. He brought up my crown then pulled it over my head.“ I think I will shift.” I said out to him as he placed the crown on my h
We reached the second section which dealt with animal care and rearing. The livestock would be brought in the next week but the facilities were all ready to go. It was all magnificent, having me nearly emotional because I could not believe we had done it. I could not believe we had brought the dream to life even better than we had thought it ever would.The king suddenly stopped and his hand squeezed mine. My head turned to him with my eyes taking him in because I knew something was up. His eyes locked with mine in communication that indeed, something had just happened.He cleared his throat.“ Maximus, it seems you will have to excuse the queen and I for a few minutes, but you can proceed with the tour.” The king said out with a dreadful feeling just wash over my whole body. What could it be? For crying out loud, couldn’t we catch a break? Not when I was that tired. I was so tired even my soul was tired.“ Yes your majesty.” Maximus said back, him bowing for us as we turned around. V
