Once upon a time….Well, it was not that long ago, I am just being dramatic.Okay.Twenty- three years ago, a man by the name Ashton found a baby by the road on his way from the market. Now, don’t be fooled by the name, the man was anything but decent. He was a hard worker, I will give him that. He had just had one of the longest days selling desks and chairs in his tiny shop, if we can even call it that.In his right hand was his bag, heavy with his working tools. In his left hand and over his shoulder was the chair he had been working on since afternoon.It had not been a good day. Life was hard and harsh in the southern region of Kuala town. The days were long and hot while the nights were short and also hot. Rivers were drying up from the draught that plagued the land. Forget about decent jobs, everyone had a hustle they were pushing to get by but even that could not get them decent food and clothes on their bodies.Imagine the irritation Ashton felt when he heard that intense wa
FLAVIA’S P.O.VPlop….. Plop…..Plop….A door opened.My head was hanging over, my hands bound by ropes laced with just a little bit of silver to keep me weak but not to the point of death.Ashton and Wendy wouldn't want me dead, now would they? How would they afford the new house they bought ? How would they eat the food they ate if not for me ?In my eyes, they were supposed to be worshiping me. I made them, I made them what they were at that point.A chuckle rumbled from my chest but instead of it pouring from my mouth, a fit of coughs exploded with blood pouring out.My body suddenly shook, shivering deep to the bone.I was cold, I was so cold.My head picked up, or tried to but instead, I lolled back with my back and neck aching in a way I never thought it would. I was not a stranger to pain, pain was my companion, it reminded me that I was still alive, that I was a living creature too.Instead of the chuckle that had roared so powerfully slipped out a few tears. I felt them roll
The door swung open. I could hear it creak, cheat asses, no matter how much money they had, still buying cheap things. You can never take a pig out of shit, I guess. My head hung low and you would think I was unconscious but I was there. I could hear everything, counting thirteen hearts just that moment. I knew the number would multiply as the day passed.They talked to each other, laughter heard echoing all through the dark halls built for nothing but wickedness.They had left their soul mates, left their children to come and get a piece of me. I should have been gloating. I brought old men, all across town to come and have some fun in their pathetic lives.I was sure they stayed up all night dreaming of the minute they would walk through my door. I was sure it tickled them so much they even dreamed about it. I was sure it was all that filled their heads as they bent over their mates and fucked them. Their lives were that pathetic, so pathetic, beating up a young girl was all the ex
If that had just been the first two, how do you think I was half way through? How do you think I was as the day drifted by, not frightened by my loud screams and cries? The sun had continued shinning wherever it was and all outside had patiently and happily waited for their turn to add to my pain.The only relief I had found was when Roaster had found me too weak to even stare at him. He always found it more fun when I kicked back, always found it more pleasurable when I was able to spit out my insults to him. We always had a good time, his life was too much of a shit, never lacking of what I would spout to him.His session had been paid but he had not tortured me. He had told them to bring me down which they did. I had fell down like a sack of potatoes, crying even harder because it was the nicest thing anyone had ever done to me. See how bad my life had been, literally crying out because someone did not torture me. What had I become?I wept so hard, thinking I would get tired but I
How long had I waited for that smile. I let it spread, felt it pull from deep inside me.I watched him frown, his hold on me tightening.My throat was cleared, licking my lips and probably leaving them blooded.“ They want to whore me out Brandon.” Even that had taken too much of me but his deep frown had been worth it.“ You might have broken me or so you claim, whatever makes you sleep but that is all you will have. Someone else will truly claim the crown you have bestowed on yourself. Someone will truly do to me what you have been failing to do all these years, truly break me apart from inside out.” I spoke the words, each coming out with much energy than the last. I spat them out, blood sprouted on his face. I watched him shake. I saw the emotions run through him and I thought he would shutter.How sweet it was though, it was worth every ounce of energy I had poured on him.My body was roughly pushed back, my head hitting the wall and leaving it ringing.The laugh poured from me n
It was the first time, since I was dragged down, being upstairs. My head turned left and right seeing the house I had built for these disgusting people with my blood, tears and sweat. I was so angry I wanted to burn it all down but not the time. I had to get away.My feet turned, running around until I saw a window, running through it with the pain wasted on me as I jumped into the night.Vampires were creatures that never slept. They could but they did not need to thus some just liked wondering about at night. I knew I would be caught one way or another but if that happened, I would go down fighting. My eyes scanned all around, seeing so many vampires already making their way to the house.I was scared, a new neighborhood to which I never grew up in, never walked out and explored its twists and turns thus I was going in blind. As stubborn as I was, it was time to hand over the rails.I ran as fast as I could. I did not know if it was wise turning into a wolf in front of so many vampi
All my life I had danced with the devil and each time he took charge and stirred me to every direction he wanted me at.You ask me where hell was and I would point to the very life we were living in, going through life as if we were in control when we were far from it. All my life even breathing had come with consequences, everything coming at a price with hell to pay after it.You think you know pain, thinking you had hit its rock bottom with life stubborn to prove to you that you could never understand the cruelty of the world and I understood just that night that my pain, my suffering had no bounds.That night I knew that no matter how much you try, if you are not anointed from birth then there was nothing for you. I learned when I was young that if someone hated you, nothing you could do or say would change their perspective of you. You could never make someone love you, you could never make someone care.And I could never beg enough for the heavens to forgive me for whatever crim
My body shot up and slid off the chair I was in as fast as I came into consciousness. My eyes went over to the floor seeing that I was in something that was moving. My heart was at my throat instantly, my eyes falling on my person feet and I nearly dead.When had I shifted back? How long had I been out? The sunlight had me guess many many hours.My head shot back up, fearing all they had done to me while I was unconscious. My body had taken much sleep, my wounds closed up yet still bruised and battered with my skin blue-black all over.I did not even look up to see who was sitting opposite me as I threw my punch so fast they had not seen it coming. It connected with a face, pulling out a groan as arms came holding me from every direction.“ Let me go you stupid some of a bitches before I slit your throats!”I threw my elbow as it connected with a stomach, my head tipping back hard to hit a face and my foot stomping on another.I groaned, my teeth meeting a wrist. I bit so hard until b
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
