2024-12-09 10:55:35Caroline was blinking her eyes when she saw that her husband’s eyes were the different color that she used to look at. It was not the vivid greens that she loved but rather, it was an endless pool of black holes.
Sweet God, he was a Vampyre!
Caroline knew enough about the gentry that was rumored to have Porphyria which was believed to be affecting them for generations now. It was known to be the main cause of their sickness in their adolescence and when they survived, they have never been the same.
She just could not put through what her husband has in his bloodline.
But of course, he was a gentry, I might have to suspect that he would bear the disease even if I don’t need to ask him, Caroline mused before she was looking at Daniel’s handsome face.
His face was close enough to her as she laid back on the mattress as Daniel trapped her underneath her. If they were in different circumstances, Caroline would be happ

Lord Felix Marshall, Baron of Fell, who was known as Marsh by his friends and family, was sitting in the sitting room of the royal monarch of Niapachad Island. He did not know why he was being called again, after witnessing what his cousin got from getting a kiss from a stranger and a slap from his wife.I don’t think I was built for that life, he mused before the door opened and he stood from the divan that he was sitting in, staring at the fire. The young queen and her husband, the prince consort greeted him in a way that made Marsh being wary of the reason why he was summoned by the Queen herself.“I see that you made yourself at home, Fell,” she said with a mischievous glint in her eyes. Marsh smiled before he was bowing at her and her husband.“I was used to be getting comfortable for the last 3 months,” he said as he was looking at the young couple before the queen took a seat before he did.“So, what do I owe the

Lord Randolph got off the carriage before he helped his wife and daughter out of the carriage for the long ride they had endured. It would only take five days from the capital to go to North Msallste since the young queen Arabella Dragomir was her father to represent her with dealing with her business here.Ava did not know about the details but she was grateful that she would be away from the city’s hustle and bustle for some time. It helped her to think and calm herself before she could function in society again.“Here we are! Isn’t it nice?” her father said as Lord Randolph was showing the huge mansion that was in front of her eyes. Ava smiled before she followed her parents to get a tour of the house. It was huge and it had one story.Ava was shown to her room before she saw that her trunks for her stay were already there. She went to open the curtains. There was dust everywhere and she coughed a little bit.Why does it hav

Ava was smiling when she arrived at the beach that was near the mansion where she was staying for the weekend. Or more than a weekend if she was reading the business that her father was conducting.She sighed when the breeze was hitting her face as the cold air was giving some calming sensation to her body right now. I really should have done this earlier in the day, she mused as Ava was walking down the beach, holding her boots before she was smiling.She was walking along the shore as Ava was looking at the sunset. It was magical and she wrapped her shawl around her body before she explored the shore again. Once in a while, she would be bending over the sand to get the shells that took her fancy before she put them inside her pocket.“What a lovely sight,” a voice interrupted her, and Ava jumped back, ready to fight whoever it was that was sneaking up on her.Jesus, I could have killed someone, she mused when her killer instinct kic

Ava was rushing toward the horse that she tied back at the end of the trail of the meadows that she was exploring before she heard the call of the ocean. She was smiling along the way to the mansion as she rode as fast as she could.I could manage a man if I have been given a chance, Mother, Ava mused before the stable boy came to greet her.“My lady,” he said before he took the horse as Ava was making her way to the mansion. The gas lights were filling the rooms of the house before she was slipping in through the servants’ quarter.She was not dressing in her dress as she was only wearing a white cotton gown and a shawl, barely showing that she was a lady, and her hair was not braided or in a chignon. Hardly acceptable in Society.She rushed through the door and the long hallway before she walked into her chamber, and shut the door as she was untying the bodice and the corset that was holding the gown. Then, she was wrapping he

Ava was looking around in the opera house before her family was taking their seats. She sat next to her mother on the left side and there was a space on her right. She did not assume that it would be a full house tonight but it was, judging by the crowd that was murmuring in the dark right now.“Excuse me, pardon me,” the voice was drawing her to look to her right as the opera house was dimming its lights for the performance to start. Ava can make the silhouette of the person that was coming her way before the figure was sitting next to her.“What a thrilling night,” the figure said with a masculine voice that made Ava feel fluttered in the dim lighting. She smiled despite that she didn’t know the man who was sitting next to her.“It was quiet indeed,” she was surprised that she even intended to speak to this man in the dark.“Are you here for the grand opening?” the male asked before Ava turned to loo

Arabella was sitting in front of the window as she settled in on the patio that was designated there. It was a nice view of the sunset from the seaside cottage that she was occupying with her husband at the moment.The plan was in motion as she was sipping on the blood-laced tea before she felt the hands that were encircling her stomach. She smiled before she turned to look over her shoulder as her husband was kissing her nose.“What are you thinking about?” Aiden asked her before she leaned back into his strong arm. It has always been her anchor and her support throughout these years after she took the mantle and the crown that came with the responsibility of her country. She shook her head.“Nothing,” she replied before Aiden bites her earlobe. She moaned as it had been a few hours since their tumble in bed.But of course, the queen will never give in so easily.“Your nothing always means something. So, you either sp

Ava was riding the horse astride as she knew that people might be surprised to see a Lady riding a horse without her riding habits.How come I wear that when I have a date with a potential suitor? Ava thought grimly before she pulled the rein. She stopped in front of a stable as the stable boy was holding her horse.“How much for a day?” she asked before the boy looked at her.“A Tellu, ma’am,” he said as Ava nodded at him before paying him the money and walked to the center of the Square as she was waiting for her date to show up. But Ava did not have to wait since she was spotting Marsh from afar as he was smiling brightly at her and her heart skipped a beat.Control, Ava, control, she reminded herself as she was smiling when she was looking at the man in front of her.“You’re early, my lord,” Ava said as she curtsied to him. Marsh smiled before he took her hands and kisse

Ava was smiling at the carriage ride as she was holding hands with Marsh right now. She did not know when this developed but after that kiss that they shared, she knew that she was being courted by this lord.Is this what it felt like to be courted to marry? Ava smiled as she felt the hand that was squeezing hers. She turned to look at Marsh before he smiled upon her.“I see that you are quite content with yourself, darling,” he said as he used the endearment that was only reserved for someone dear to them. And right now, Marsh was using that on her. Her heart was beating fast before she blushed and smiled shyly as Marsh was pulling her closer.This is heaven, Ava mused before she was looking at the mansion that was standing still in front of her. She gave the directions to get to her house but she did not classify which one was hers.She just hoped that Marsh did not want to come and greet her parents. She was not ready for

“You did not know this girl. What were you thinking, bringing her home in the middle of the night? What will society say?” his grandfather asked Aiden as he was staring into the fire. The girl that he just saved had been awake before his grandmother asked her to sleep again.She was sleeping now but Aiden felt restless.He has been thinking about the way that she fell from her horse and how he had come to her aid before anything. Aiden gripped the mantelpiece before his grandfather sighed.“Will you take responsibility if anyone asks who she was?” he asked. Aiden knew what his grandfather was trying to say. After all, the villagers loved to gossip around, especially about him. He turned to look at his grandfather before Aiden looked at the sleeping young woman. She might not be older than he was, maybe a year or two younger. He sighed.“Yes, I will be taking responsibility if they want to ask about her,” Aiden said with

ARABELLAIf I knew my geography right, there would be a nice, quaint village on the southeast of Royal Molftus, the capital of Niapachad Island. I was moving quietly toward the stables where they keep all the horses that were used by the royalties and where my mare was being kept.I was lurking in the shadows before I sensed the guards that were patrolling the parameter. I held my breath before I heard that they were talking with each other about some stupid games and some women who would be warming their beds tonight.If they finished their shifts early.I rolled my eyes at their notions before I made my move toward the stable. I slipped through the back door as there was no one expecting me from there. I closed the door and I was greeted by the smell of hays and horse dung.Worse combination ever.I was making my way toward the stall that housed my mare. I patted his nose before he was neighing against my hand. I shu

ARABELLA“It is a shame that our king and queen were lost and drowned in the shipwreck. Our condolences to Princess Arabella and the Duke of Belikov,” someone from the Higher Court said as I was holding the champagne in my hand. I smiled before I nodded at him and drank my wine. ItWas bubbly but nothing was much worse than pretending that I wanted to be here.I just wanted to be left alone but of course, Niklaus will not let me have my moment.After that, the Lords of the Higher Court were looking at each other before I put the glass down. Then, Lord Davenport spoke as he cleared his throat.“Princess, as we all know, you are in mourning for two weeks and I understand if you think this discussion will not be gracing your ears, but I must insist that you will hear it nonetheless,” he said before I was looking at him, arching my eyebrows.“And what matter is it that you are trying to tell m

ARABELLAI don’t know what to say but to stare at the bodies that the royal guards assured me. I was not going to cry, but when Niklaus hugged me and told me to be strong, tears were starting to accumulate in my eyes.Heat swelled behind them before I was blinking my eyes as I turned to look at my cousin. He was looking solemn before he was patting my shoulder.“Stay strong, Ara. You know you can do it,” he said before I turned to see that he had ordered the guards to put the king and queen’s bodies away before the funeral tomorrow. I looked after the white sheets that covered them and as always, the tears were not coming out.I will not cry. I will be strong. I cannot let them beat me, I reminded myself before I took a deep breath and I went out of the hallway as I was going to my room. Preferably to sleep it off and just to think this was a nightmare.A real nightmare.The next morning came, and I h

Marsh went into the study room and he went up to the decanter that has all sorts of poison for his choice. He took the rum and poured it down into a glass before he was sipping it in one go, leaving a burning taste of it inside his throat.He stopped his glass midway when he was turning on all his senses to hear something. Someone was coming for him and it took all his might not to turn to look at the lady that has been attracting his attention from the start.Marsh knew that it was not good for her and himself if he was to deny their attraction to one another. It was one thing that he hated about the match that was being made by the queen.He sighed before he was sipping on the rum as his wife was making her way into the study room.“You’re wrong,” she said as she was panting when she was coming to stand in the doorway as Marsh was trying to ignore the demon that wanted to claim her inside him.’Mine,’ it sai

Ava was sipping on the wine as the ladies were talking with each other and she was one of them as well. The Duchess of Belikov, Becca was smiling as her best friend, Emily, the marchioness of Kain were talking with each other.“I cannot believe that Daniel’s cousin is finally married. And here we are trying to figure out the man myself but here we are talking to his wife right now. How do you not know that your husband’s cousin was in town, Caroline?” the ladies asked my best friend before she shrugged.“Hey, I am not in this family for so long and I am not his maid. Daniel did not know that he was getting married until we had the invitation,” Caroline said as she was sipping on the wine. I smiled.“At least, we will not be playing with the queen’s matchmaking anymore. It was hard when she wanted our husbands to find a bride and to think that she had a say in anything,” Jessie said as she was shaking her head. I pondered on that.“Yeah, Niklaus and I met

Ava has been flustered after the vows that they exchanged in the church earlier. She could not think straight as she was trying to make sure that everything was going exactly like she planned for Marsh to be surprised when she walked down the aisle in a sensual dress and the men were looking at her.She managed that moment as Marsh was not talking to her after the vows and when they had to leave for their reception, he was still not talking to her. Not in the carriage, certainly not when they have to greet their guests for their wedding celebration.Not until Marsh was planning something to her for going against his wish with the wedding gown.“Welcome, how are you? Where is Harold?” Marsh greeted Lord Davenport and his wife as they were coming through the front door of their fortress. Ava sighed inwardly as she knew tonight would be the first night for her to be spending at her new household, in which she was the mistress.Not her mother.

Ava walked to the study room that her mother insisted she come. She just got out of the bath and she was ready to take on a new thought before she heard some conversation inside the room. And it was about her, none the wiser.“…I will be in touch then, Lord Randolph,” the familiar voice came from inside the room as the servant opened the door for Ava to enter. It was her mother who spotted her first before she was greeting her.“Ava, dear, would you like some tea? His Lordship was about to leave as he thought he would not be meeting you,” her mother said with a glistening shine in her eyes that made Ava want to know what they were talking about in the first place. She was aware that it was about her, so might as well get some information about it.“You waited for me?” Ava asked Marsh as she was locking her eyes with his. He smiled before her mother was fussing over them and they were not the only ones that wanted to be

Marsh was looking at himself in the mirror, standing from head to toe. He sighed as he was tying the cravat onto his neck. This is not what I had in mind when I was coming back here, hosting a dinner party for the queen and her seneschal, Marsh thought before a knock disturbed him.“Come in,” he said before the old butler was coming into the bedchamber. He was smiling at him before the butler bowed to him.“The guests are here, my lord,” the old man said as Marsh was nodding at him. He was looking at himself for the last time before he took the cravat and put it inside his waistcoat.“Are the seneschal and his family here as well?” he asked the butler before the old man nodded.“Aye, my lord. And the daughter is a pretty one. I think the young queen has chosen well,” the butler said as Marsh frowned at him. If the butler did not know about this matter, Marsh would certainly make some other arrangement as wel
