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
My body jumped as my eyes ran all over the room.The knock came again, my eyes running to the door, hearing the urgency in the knock, having me to sit up and huff.“ Come in,” I shot out, the door opened with a girl looking to be around fifteen, walking in with her head bowed down.I felt as if I had slept a minute, just feeling more exhausted than before. The nightmares had gripped me by the throat and left me heaving in my sleep. I was sweaty, nightmares I did not even want to think about.“ Sorry your majesty but more vampires have arrived. “ The girl spoke out, her voice shaking, seeing that she was really shaken.I swallowed, a hand running through my hair as my eyes fell on the king’s crown which looked dry at that point. It needed more washing, seeing the fading stains of blood but it was presentable for now.“ I will be down, “ I spoke out to the girl, already getting up and stretching my body.The girl quickly rushed away, closing the door behind. I kind of wished I would wak
Ten days since the king left.Twelve days since the dragons declared war.Ten days of dragons burning everything belonging to the vampires day and night.They did not care if there were children, did not care if there were pregnant women.All they wanted was revenge and they got it.The smoke filled the air, the smell sickening, the smell of burning flesh over all the ten days.The screams had reached our ears, not as if they were far. The dragons had done what they wanted to do and at that point, they were just at the few last villages which were evacuated but they did not care. They burned the establishments as well, just bringing everything down.There were about a hundred of them at that point, no hope in fighting and winning over them. The electricity had been cut out, our whole castle and coterie dark with the only thing bringing light being the fire that lit out windows as it roared down.Everyone was in their corner where they had crawled, just praying for everything to be ove
My body was scooped up, still no words from the king, me in my feelings, pleasure, pain, and confusion all riding through me. I just let him carry me through the dark quiet halls as if death clung to the walls.We got to the room, him walking straight to the bathroom where we were soon in the shower. He seemed to be in a hurry, seemed to be absent minded, seemed detached and far. Everything was going so fast and I was just going with it, naked, in the shower then out of the shower. He dried me up, my eyes on him, staring as he worked.“ Go dress, we are leaving.” He said, the first words from him. His voice was so commanding, harsh, raspy and cold. My eyes stared at him as he walked back to the shower to take one himself. My eyes fell on the red mark on his back, it just taking away all the breath from me. I turned, rushing to the closet, grasping the urgency of the situation yet my mind going back to that burn which looked more than painful, as if it was still burning.Where were we
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
