Jessie did not know that her husband’s kiss was all it took for her to succumb to this demon. She knew that it was a dumb thing to be falling for a Vampyre and never heard of the scandals that might be attached to them.
She knew better now.
Jessie was struggling to get away from her husband as she bit on his tongue. Tom cursed before she was released from his assault as Jessie was stepping away from him. Tom was tasting the blood that was in his mouth before he turned to look at Jessie.
“You bit me,” he said as Jessie tilted her chin.
“You deserved it,” she said as Tom smirked at her. Jessie knew that her husband was a dangerous man but right now, with that smirk and all, he was even more dangerous.
Why do I have to marry a Vampyre? She mused when Jessie was stepping away from him. Tom was advancing towards her as she was hitting the wall of the library. The fire crackled and before Jessie co
Jessie never thought that she would beg for something. In her life, she never did because she was a Lady and her parents have been influential enough that she can do anything that she wanted and got everything in her life without as much to beg for it.But this time, it was different.Jessie knew that Tom would likely have her as his bride but she wanted to be one. She wanted what Becca and Emily had. But if she has to beg for it, then she was more than willing. Jessie had never felt like this before but for Tom, she would.“Thomas,” she panted his name before she felt the familiar sensation of his teeth sinking into her neck. This time, it was not hurtful as before. This time, it was everything that she could do to make sure to not have her wicked way with Tom.This was his moment, his claim on her, and Jessie could not be happier than this.“Jess,” he moaned as her husband was thrusting in and ou
Everyone thinks that the gentry is nothing but a social hierarchy that takes advantage of our daily lives. We, as the common folks and peasants of Niapachad Island, might not have agreed to this social system but it was the only one that we got.Many have speculated that the gentry hides something from our common knowledge. Well, here I am, Miss J, to debunk some of the rumors and maybe put them to a stop. We cannot think that the gentry was hiding something.This is my initial hypothesis as I have come to find the reason for my latest research. And here you are, reading it right now. I have spent some time with a gentleman who was from the gentry. He was from the Higher Court, the court that was serving the young queen Arabella Dragomir as well as her prince consort, Aiden Dragomir.I know it was hard to believe but I can assure you, all the information that I have collected has been sorted out and it was the only conclusion that I have come to agree w
Lady Caroline Hurst, who was the daughter of the merchant’s Lord Hurst, was closing the new book that was being produced by her favorite author of all time, Miss J. Caroline did not know that her author would be marrying and settling down.Unlike me, she mused as she was looking out the window of the mansion that was located in the south of Niapachad Island.It was ruled by the Viscount of Vyckos and it has been forever since she can get out of this mansion. Her parents were out in the sea to go on their voyage as well as their vacation to sell their goods and come back with new items for trading.Caroline sighed before her maid, Lexi, was coming to stoke the fire. Caroline was looking at her before an idea struck her brain.Eureka!Lexi bowed to her before Caroline gestured to her to come to her side. Lexi obeyed before Caroline was looking at her, a smile was plastered to her face.“Lexi, have you gone out to
“I don’t think this would be a good idea, mum. I have to make sure that you will be with me all the time,” Lexi said as Caroline was walking ahead of her. She knew that her master and lady would not appreciate this if they found out their only daughter and heir were walking down on the market without any bodyguards.And most of them all, Caroline was disguising herself as a maid!“Oh, don’t be so dramatic, Lexi. And what did I tell you about calling me ‘mum’? I thought we were friends of the same social status and we were going shopping for groceries,” Caroline said as she scanned the area.If I had known that you would be dressing in my clothes, I would have not let you come with me, Lexi mused before she sighed and closed her eyes for a moment. Then, when she opened her eyes, Caroline was gone.“Caroline? Caroline? Caroline?!” Lexi shouted but of course, Lady Caroline Hurst wa
After making sure that she was cleaned up and dried herself, Ava put on the thin muslin chemise that her mother gave to her. Lady Randolph has whispered to her to entice her husband on their wedding night, so that’s what she was doing right now.Even Ava did not want to admit it, she did want to entice her husband to his knees.She shook her head after that thought before she made sure that her hair was in place. Then, she moved to the bedchamber as she was opening the door of the chamber. The warmth was filling the air as the fire crackled in the fireplace before she saw that Marsh was standing in front of it, holding two glasses of brandy.Her heart soared when he turned to look at her and he sucked on a breath. Her mother’s strategy worked as Ava was approaching him.“For me?” Ava asked about the brandy before Marsh blinked his eyes, trying not to stare at her undressing state. Ava loved it when her husband was speechless right
Caroline was shocked to know that someone was saving her. The stranger was a brunette and by the looks of it, he might be 6 feet 4 inches. But of course, Caroline was not focusing on that when there was a whole gang that this man should be handling.“Watch out,” she shouted when the stranger released the leader that was attacking her. She was gripping the trinket that she bought at the last vendor before the man attacked the other that was coming at her.Caroline was so anxious before she was standing still against the wall that she did not realize someone was coming at her by her side. The man gripped her arm and she cried out, wanting to getaway. Hearing those screams, her stranger was coming at the man who was gripping her arm and knocking him out.“Are you alright?” the man asked before Caroline was blinking her eyes at the young man. He has the most vivid green eyes that she has seen in his life. His face was angular with chiseled ja
“I don’t even know why my parents wanted to torture me like this,” Caroline whined when Lexi was pulling her laces on the corset that she was going to wear underneath the gown that her mother got from the Isle of Thethern. They were known for the best dresses and fabrics available there.“I think she wanted you to look your best tonight, my lady. Besides, I heard that Viscount Vyckos will be attending the ball as well,” Lexi said before Caroline sighed.“Another reason that I don’t want to go even though I am the guest of honor,” Caroline said before she gasped as Lexi was pulling her lace too tight.“I am so sorry, my lady. I don’t know that it would suck the breath out of you,” Lexi said before Caroline was asking her to untie a little bit of her corset.“Much better,” Caroline said before she was looking at her reflection in the mirror right now. She had her chemise underneat
Daniel was smiling happily at Lady Caroline as she was trying to control the anger that was sipping through her face. Her face blushed and her eyes were hard.Nothing can make me happier than seeing a woman scorned, Daniel thought before he offered his hand to Caroline.“Shall we dance, my lady?” he said as Lord Hurst was seeing all the reaction that Caroline wanted to show. But she cannot since there was a Lord in her company. And that was not her father.“I am sorry, my lord, but my feet…”“Will be eager to dance with you. Go on, my dear, do not be shy and have fun, yes?” Lord Hurst said as he was giving Caroline to Daniel. The Viscount smiled before he led Caroline to the dance floor.“Don’t assume that I wanted to dance with you, my lord. I accept because I am being polite, not because I like you,” Caroline whispered to him before Daniel smiled hearing her confession
It’s been one month. One fucking month until I can get my hands on Aiden’s body. Not that I don’t have anything to complain about but right now, I was relieved that we had escaped the party and the coronation for I was the current monarch with my prince consort.Aiden Dragomir.Niklaus was furious that I would marry a commoner but when I explained to him that Aiden was my soulmate and my demon had been claiming him as mine, he did not have anything to add anymore.He just let me plan the wedding and the coronation on the same day.It was exhausting, of course, for I was running around, cheering when the people of Niapachad Island were coming together to look at me. As well as the only queen who took a commoner as her prince consort.I was breaking history today, people!I sighed as I was leaning against the door when Aiden was removing his cravat from his neck, sauntering inside my bedchambers with the elegance tha
After Arabella left, Aiden was looking around his room for any trace of her. I cannot believe that she tricked me, he thought furiously before he took the clothes that Arabella wore and threw them into the fireplace. He was breathing hard before he was looking at the crackling firewood when his Nana entered the room.“You cannot blame her for why she’s been keeping a secret from you,” she said before Aiden was turning to look at his grandma.“So you know who she was? All this time?” he asked before he snorted. Aiden cannot believe that his Nana herself would not tell him the truth. The old woman shrugged.“Well, it was not my secret to tell and I have been hinting at her to tell you the truth. Perhaps she was afraid that you might be reacting like you are now?” she said before Aiden growled.“It’s not the same,”“No? Then you mustn’t forget the first time when you discovered th
I was looking at myself in the mirror as I was wiping my face. I sighed before I felt the stiff muscles as I slept on the chair last night. Next to Aiden. I smiled before I walked out of the washroom and Aiden was standing outside.“Oh, you’re awake already?” I asked him as he was looking at me. He smiled charmingly before he was nodding.“Yeah, I think I had the strangest dream ever last night,” he said as I was arching my eyebrows.“Oh, do tell?” I said as I was smiling at him. Aiden was looking at me before he shook his head.“You would not believe it,”“Try me,”He took a deep breath before I was waiting for him to continue, “I dreamed that your eyes were bleeding black and you attacked the cronies that my boss was coming at you to rape you. I tried to stop it but I was being stabbed in the stomach. It seems…so surreal that I don’t think I was dreaming a
Aiden was looking at the people that were coming at him at once. He was determined to keep Arabella from getting hurt as his boss and his cronies were going after her.“You son of a bitch! You will share your whore with us!” his boss said before they were coming at him. Aiden was thinking faster than his action. He took his ax and swung it as a form of defense. But of course, it was not going to deter the men from coming at Arabella.“Come on, lads! He just one man, what harm can he do to us?” the boss said before everyone was laughing. Aiden was gritting his teeth before he was slamming his shoulder into the boss. He went down before the cronies were coming at him, punching and kicking him in the stomach as he went down.“Aiden!” Arabella’s shout as he was struggling to keep his head above the attack. It was all his coworkers who did not have any honor or dignity in their blood. They only wanted to have fun and Arabella
Niklaus was looking outside the castle as the sun was on the horizon. He could not get any sleep lately for he feared that his cousin might be in danger. The all lords of the Higher Court were worried about their monarch.“Anything?” Niklaus asked his friend, Baron of Fell, Marsh, before he shook his head. Niklaus sighed before he took a seat at the head of the council meeting. There were five of them, the inner circle that Niklaus trusted to find his missing cousin.Bloody hell, Arabella, why do you have to be so stubborn at times? He thought before Ian was looking at him.“So, what do we do now? We cannot just sit idly and not be taking action about this. The prince will come here any day now and if Her Highness was not around to receive him—”“There will be a catastrophe. I know,” Niklaus said as he was rubbing his dry mouth. He did not know where or when Arabella had been slipping away from the palace but thei
Aiden was cutting the lumber into small pieces so that it would be easier to burn for the winter. He wiped his forehead which was accumulated with sweat before his boss came from behind.“Rough night, Blackwood?” he asked before Aiden turned to look at him. He was regarding the man before he smirked.“You could say that,” he said as he was cutting the log again. His boss smirked.“I bet that woman who warms your bed was worth it then. How much you got her for?”Aiden stopped his work before he turned to look at his boss. He was smirking at Aiden before he smiled charmingly at him.“She’s not for sale. She’s my wife,” Aiden lied smoothly before the boss was blinking his eyes at him.“You’re joking, right?” his boss asked but Aiden just left the conversation there as he was making his way out of the lumber field.“Have a good day then,” Aiden said
I woke up early the next morning because I was excited to get my first job. I know that my job would always be a monarch but to think that I will have an experience outside of state affairs and proposals for once would be the thrill of my life.The dusk was shining with orange sunlight before the sun was on the horizon. I took a shower before I put on the clothes that were provided by Nana for me. She told me that it once belonged to Aiden’s mother and I don’t know if I should be happy or not.I never asked about his parents and sometimes, I wished I had the courage to. But I don’t want to destroy the fragile relationship that we have anymore. I was threading the thread carefully now so that Aiden would be open to me more.If only.I was putting on the chemise before I was putting on the stays that will put my breasts in place. Then, I put on the petticoats, 5 layers of them, right before I put on the gown. It was a modest gown with long
I walked along with Aiden as he was putting his hands inside his pockets. I was looking at him from the corner of my eyes before I was looking at the moon. It was full tonight and everything was perfect in this little moment.I did not know what came over me but my mouth was humming the lullaby that my mother always sang to me whenever I went to bed. And I was doing that right now as Aiden was looking at me strangely.“How do you know that lullaby?” he asked me before I turned to look at him. His emerald orbs were shining under the moonlight.“Hmm? What?”“That song you were humming. My mother used to sing that to me as well,” he said with a hint of sadness before I stopped humming it altogether.“No, don’t stop. It just…no one ever heard that before,” he said as he turned to look at me. “until you,”I smiled before I hummed again the music that haunted both of us. My m
Aiden was making his way into the forest for his job as a lumberjack. He was carrying his favorite ax before his boss showed up in front of him.“Fancy seeing you here at this hour. I thought you might be late again, Blackwood,” his boss sneered before Aiden smiled at him, not feeling threatened by anything.“Well, what can I say? The woman that graced my bed last night was making me sleep late and I have to be here before you can say anything else, so here I am,” he said as he was setting up himself for his job. The boss was arching his eyebrow at him.“I thought you’re not approved of that way of life?” his boss asked him before Aiden shrugged.I am but I will not be telling you, “Perhaps I need to experience it myself before I can judge it,” Aiden said before he put on his protective mask and started on the lumber that was his quota for the day. The boss just nodded at him before leaving Aiden to hi
