Klaus:
“How was I supposed to know that you haven’t told her that she’s your mate?” Grace asked as I glared at my little sister, Kiara had gone inside with Ian a while ago while both Grace and I remained in the garden.
“I didn’t even speak and here you are yelling, while I’m supposed to be the one yelling” I rolled my eyes at my sister, she raised an eyebrow at me and I shook my head at her.
“How are you love?” I sighed calming myself trying to figure out how I’ll explain the situation to my mate who was probably having a mental battle at what Grace and Ian meant.
“I’m fine Niklaus don’t worry, I came here to visit you” Grace said softly, her green eyes meeting my blue ones, her smile was wide as she looked at me making me raise a confused eyebrow at her sudden excitement.
“Spill it out Grace” I rolled my eyes on her and she laughed clapping her ha
Kiara:“I want to teach you how to sword fight today” Klaus suddenly said while we were having breakfast, Ian, and Grace were sitting with us, I almost choked on my juice as I heard what the king said.“Sorry, me?” I asked looking at Klaus who raised an eyebrow and nodded.“Yes, you love”“King… I mean Klaus, why would I…? But, I’m a girl” I said looking at the king who chuckled.“Love, all us girls here know how to use a sword, and I don’t mean to insult you by this, but being a human in a magic realm, you need to at least know how to fend for yourself” Grace said smiling at me.“Oh, don’t look so baffled darling, you are aware that there are magical creatures on this realm, and you do know that you are weaker than all of them, and with no meet on those bones to support your weight, you’ll be nothing more than toothpicks for them” I
Klaus:“I was thinking we could go and check on the people in town, see if they need anything” Kiara said smiling, we were both in my study, I was finishing work while she was reading a book on the couch in front of the library.“That is a good idea my love, but tonight is the first flower of spring festival, everyone will be too busy preparing for it, whether or not they need anything, they’d be too busy to think of it” I said looking up at my mate who tilted her head in confusion.“The what?” She asked and I smiled getting up from my leather chair and walked toward her, she moved aside and I sat beside her wrapping an arm around her shoulder and pulling her to my chest, her head laid on my chest as I ran my finger up and down her arm.“The first flower of spring festival is the celebration of passing winter, there came a time when people could barely survive the harsh, cold winter, and as time passed we cr
Kiara:“How are we going to feed you little one?” I asked the little dragon who was in my arms, I knew that the little thing needed feeding, but I didn’t even know what it ate to begin with, let alone how to feed it, did it eat worms? Did it hunt on its own? No, that couldn’t be possible, it would need its mother to nurse it for a while, how would I be doing so?“They drink milk on their first few hours, but they start eating little worms after that” Klaus said answering my unsaid question, bringing in a bottle in his hand which hand whitish pink liquid, a tube-like straw coming out of it, slowly extending it toward the little dragon who purred like a cat and drank from it as if it would be drinking milk from its mother “this is dragon’s milk, we have a mother dragon that had her eggs hatch, but we can’t put our little one with her just yet as its hatchlings are older than our little one here”“Th
Klaus:“Do you want to go out this evening?” I asked Kiara wrapping my arms around her from the back as she stood out in the veranda, watching the city from her chamber, the little dragon lay asleep inside the chamber.“Do you have a place in mind?” Kiara asked leaning in to my touch, my arms tightening around her and I kissed her cheek before leaning my head on her shoulder, I could tell that she was smiling which made me smile as well.“A few places yes, but I have one in particular for this evening” I said smiling, I planned on us staying away from the castle for a few nights, to just spend our time together away from responsibilities, I knew that we both needed it after having been busy for the past few weeks, the people have accepted and love Kiara as their future queen, in the short time of her being in the kingdom, she has proven to them that she was to be by their side on everything and that she would be seeing and ten
Kiara:The smile on my face could have been seen a mile away.My head was laying on Niklaus’s chest as he ran his fingers through my hair, his arm wrapped around me as we watched the stars.“This has been the best night I’ve ever lived” I said turning to face Klaus who looked down at me, a smile forming on his lips, small dimples appearing as his blue eyes met my own, I couldn’t help but feel my heart skip a beat at the sight, the love I had for this man was endless, I couldn’t imagine myself not being with him anymore.“This is the first is of many nights love, soon you will be my wife, and I’ll be sure that you’re always happy, always satisfied, you’ll be mine until the end of time” Niklaus said looking me in the eye, he slowly pulled me to him and connected our lips in the most gentle kiss there could have ever been, our lips slowly moving in sync before we both pulled away to breath, my
Klaus:I wrapped my arms around my mate and rested my chin on her shoulder as she cooked in the kitchen, wearing a light purple long sleeved shirt which reached her thighs and white leggings knowing that we would be alone and that no one would be coming to us here, I wore blue jeans and a V-neck black shirt.“What are you making this time?” I asked her looking at what she was stirring in the pot which was in front of her. Her and I have made it a habit to come to the lake house almost every weekend since we made our relationship official two months ago, Aiden was the only one to come with us as we didn’t want him staying in the palace, plus the fact that he was extremely attached to Kiara and I, we really couldn’t leave him along in the palace, in fear that he would end up attacking any of the servants back in the palace should they try to approach him.“I’m making soup, it’s raining outside and it’s a bit chilled,
Klaus:“Easy” I told Aiden who was flapping his wings as he flew, he was barely a few feet off the ground, but he was managing his flaps more flexibly now that he was six months old, Kiara was sitting on top of a rock cross legged as she watched the little dragon fly.“That’s it little one, try going to Kiara” I encouraged Aiden who rose a little higher, Kiara smiled and stood up, taking a step back, watching as the little creature approached her slowly, his flaps quick as he tried raising himself higher to reach her, Kiara kneeled down and extended her hand as he reached her, nuzzling his head on her hand, she cupped the little creature’s face and kissed the top of his head.“Good job” Kiara smiled, I vampire sped toward her, wrapping my arms around her waist, lifting her to stand “hi”“Hi” I chuckled leaning in to kiss her, she wrapped her arms around my neck deepening the kiss, I p
Kiara:“Well, Niklaus, how about you show me what you can do?” The man said looking at Klaus. Niklaus pulled me to stand behind him, his body tensing as he looked at the man who was suddenly standing in front of us, a smirk on his face. I couldn’t help but frown as my hands shook, this being the first time I’ve ever encountered anything like this.Children from around us hid behind their mother, fear in their eyes, fathers and young men kept their women or children well hidden behind them, protecting them from this man who was smirking a calm expression on his face despite the fear he knew he was radiating. Niklaus kept his hand in front of me, telling me not to get closer. I didn’t move from behind him, knowing that whatever we were about to deal with right now was nowhere near being sane or normal.“You finally came out of your hiding place” Niklaus said calmly, though I could tell that he was nowhere near being calm.
Klaus:I tightened my arms around my wife who stirred in her sleep as she got another nightmare.It’s been the case since we finished the war. She’s been too shaken up about it to even speak of what happened, but I could easily read her mind and see what she saw.The visions that were in front of her made her feel like everything she chose to believe in as she grew up was a lie. The fact that she had sent Lorenzo to kill her father didn’t go unknown or unspoken of, which made their already broken relationship hit an all time low this time. The queen refused to look at Kiara, even when she learned of her daughter’s pregnancy, the queen had refused to come and be by her side.Now my wife was in her last month. It’s been three months since we found out of the pregnancy, and with her carrying a hybrid child inside her, the pregnancy was a lot faster than most. But that only meant consequence…With my wife’s we
Kiara:I never understood what my parents feared when they said that the world outside the palace was a dangerous place. I always wanted to go out and explore. I hated being locked in the palace for years. Well, at least until I saw what I have today.To say that getting mother out of the palace was hard wouldn’t be an understatement. However, I wouldn’t lie when I say that us leaving the palace didn’t seem like the best idea at the moment. People were on the verge of eating one another, literally.How it happened was something that I couldn’t understand. I knew that the kingdom had its issues when I was here. However, I never expected to see what I was seeing today, nor did I expect to see the terror that I was currently witnessing.It was like poverty had spread all around the kingdom, and now all they saw and wanted was to kill one another for the smallest loaf of bread. Had Caspian not stopped four of them, they would’ve
Klaus:I glared at the man, my brother, who stood beside the dragon. His eyes amused as he watched the people flee, fear could be seen in their eyes, expressions, and even their body languages. Never had I imagined seeing my brother being this evil. Growing up, the man had the heart of an angel. I will admit that we have been harmed, the humans have not left us alone for years. But that didn’t mean that we had darkened, the man’s heart completely died and he had lost all senses of humanity.Having sent my mate to the human world. I feared what was to come, and I knew that there was no way for me to handle it if anything happened to her, nor would I be able to focus knowing that she could be in danger at any given moment. At least in the palace, having Lorenzo and Caspian by her side, I would know that she would be somewhat safer than she would ever be here in the kingdom, even if she was with the bastard she called a father.“I see that your pe
Kiara:“Klaus, there’s no way…”“Kiara, please don’t argue with me this time. Go back to the human kingdom. It is a lot safer for you there…”“Klaus, no. I won’t leave you…”“Kiara, this is life or death. You are with child and I will not be able to focus with you here…” Klaus cupped my cheeks and kissed me gently “Caspian, Lorenzo, guard her with your life. I will come and get her when everything is done”My eyes widened when I saw that he had put the teleportation amulet around my neck and having ordered it to take us away, the amulet started glowing making me shake my head. I watched as my love ran out the window before everything blurred and I was suddenly in the middle of the palace’s throne room. Mother’s eyes widened when she saw me and my hands shook in fear. Father was nowhere to be seen.“Kiara?” Mother
Niklaus:“Did she speak?” I asked Lorenzo who had just sucked Rosetta dry.He was in charge of this task after his brother’s death, knowing that nothing would avenge him for the death of his brother except this. I assigned him to do this, he knew that Verone’s death would be on my hands, as I couldn’t give him that, I offered to allow him to kill the one person who Verone would die for, and though Lorenzo was initially against it. He was not one to lay his finger on a woman, he knew that this was the closest thing to killing Verone that there was.“Not a word. I’ve killed her twenty-eight times already, the woman just keeps coming back to life and says nothing as she smiles and waits to see what I have on my sleeve for her. She would taunt for a while, but she knows the fate that would hit her eventually” Lorenzo said and I nodded looking at Rosetta who was coming back to life once again, this time the woman seemed
Kiara:“Baby girl, you need to sit down” Niklaus whispered to me and I shook my head at him pacing around the people who were in need, everything was a mess. The people who have managed to escape the terrifying events that happened were either coming to their senses after the shock they’ve been through or healing using vampire blood. The people were petrified and despite not wanting to show it, I was too, and I was well aware that my husband could feel it too.Everyone around us has lost their homes, most of them have lost their families and loved ones. I couldn’t handle the situation that we were put in, what I saw, the people’s screams and cries filled my ears and the vision of the fire haunted my mind the second I closed my eyes. Niklaus has been watching me for the past hour trying to stop me, but all his tries went in vain. I needed to keep myself distracted before everything that happened hit me. As I knew that this was no time or pl
Niklaus:“I see that your mate left” Rosetta said when she caught sight of me. I raised an eyebrow at her when I entered the ballroom and her blue eyes met my own, she looped my arm with hers when she saw me approach her “aren’t you going to greet me, my king?”“I can tell that you’re still as observant as you always were” I said glaring at Rosetta who rolled her eyes on me, she smiled at the guests who were leaving. Their eyes looking at our joined hands for a second before they bowed and walked out of the ballroom fearing me noticing their eyes.“Do you really believe that she’s safe because you made her leave the palace Niklaus?” Rosetta asked making me frown in confusion, I could tell that her tone was nowhere near being normal. I glared at the woman whose lips twitched up as she tried fighting back a smile “have you already forgotten who I am and what I’m capable of?”
Kiara:“ALL HAIL QUEEN KIARA!”I walked out the door as Lorenzo announced my arrival to the guests who attended the gathering that we were having. Grace was already with the guests who stood up and bowed to me when the announcement was made. I smiled and nodded at the to rise before going to sit in my place beside Grace. The ball was enchanted to bring out couches where the ladies were to sit. However, these couches would be disappearing when the ball officially began.Fixing the dress I was wearing as to make sure that it wasn’t wrinkled, the dress was royal green. My sleeves reached my elbows as my chest and collarbone were exposed. The dress reached my knees and I wore stockings beneath it covering my exposed legs. A simple crystal necklace hung from my neck reaching my breasts. It was one that Niklaus made for me, specifically for this ball. He urged me not to take it off even when I would be going to Lorenzo and Giovani, I didn’t que
Niklaus:“It is impossible that this king doesn’t have a weakness” I snapped at Ian making Kiara jump at my sudden loud tone. I knew that she didn’t like yelling, but this man was getting on my nerves. We have been trying to find something to kill him with, anything to reverse the spell. But nothing was working.“He is your twin Niklaus” Ian reasoned and I glared at him. Kiara took my hand in hers and intertwined our fingers seeing how tense I was.“Screw the bloody day that I was born with that thing called a man” I said angrily.“Why not try to find the witch who put the spell on him in the first place?” Kiara asked slowly.“Tried that Queen Kiara, the woman has been killed a long time ago. Verone feared her trying to break the spell. Therefore, he killed her long before she tried anything” Ian said answering Kiara.“But why would a witch make a spell on a man to
