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.
Niklaus:“Niklaus, who is that man?” Kiara asked as we entered the palace, the guards and maids bowing at the sight of us entering, Ian and Grace walking close behind. My anger could be seen a mile away, everyone in the palace was making it obvious as they kept their eyes down avoiding my wrath. Of course, I just saw the one man who was my sworn enemy and he dared approach my mate and kingdom. I could hear my princess’s racing heart as she followed me through the halls of the palace not answering her question, as my mind raced. I couldn’t even process how that bastard managed to enter the kingdom without getting noticed by the guards. How was it possible that I didn’t notice that he was there in front of me? I didn’t even catch his scent, and he was right in front of me. Hell, he even dared speak to me, and I didn’t even know that it was him.“Not now, Kiara” I warned walking toward our chamber, slamming the door sh
Kiara:I woke up feeling fatigue.My body felt like a thousand tons were walking over it, though I couldn’t help but smiling when I saw Niklaus softly running his fingers through my hair, my neck feeling a bit sore as his teeth were dug deep in my neck last night as he claimed me as his. His emotions had gotten the best of him when it came to King Verone’s state, and I was having a feeling that it was due to being sexually frustrated, the idea of the king being here was not just as bad as him being in the same room as my father. However, I wanted him to remember that he was the strongest of the kings, everyone should be fearing him, not the other way around.“Good morning my love” Niklaus said softly, his lips touching mine gently, the kiss he gave me was much different than the others, his eyes filled with love making my heart swell.“Morning” I said smiling as he pulled away, his finger ran over my collarbone, then up
Klaus:“You will protect my mate with your lives, do you understand?” I ordered looking at my guards who were in the throne room “while I’m inside this throne room, until Verone leaves, Kiara is not to leave the chamber”“Yes sire” the guards said at once, I nodded dismissing all of them before taking a deep breath trying to control myself. Kiara was not aware of Verone coming to the castle. I couldn’t see him out of the castle, it would be risking many people’s lives, however, I couldn’t risk the fact of him and Kiara being in the same room. If I knew Verone, then I knew that he would do his best to annoy me using my mate. He would sense and see my annoyance of him being here, and he would be using it to his advantage.But, I sadly needed to negotiate with him, especially after forcing his heart to grow back. He could come back for Kiara, he could come back to annoying the people, to trying and killing
Kiara:“Aiden” I scolded the little dragon who was jumping on top of the dresser. No matter how many times I scolded the little creature. He grew more stubborn as he grew.“You know that I won’t break anything” Aiden said looking at me with his big blue eyes. His eyes had stopped shifting in color and were now a dark royal blue, his scales were as black as night. A person couldn’t see him if he decided to sneak on him in the dark.“You know that I don’t like you getting on the dresser Aiden, whether or not you were going to break anything” I said scratching the little creature’s head, he leaned in to my touch, purring, and closing his beautiful eyes “now, get down before I get angry”“You’re acting like a mum” Aiden said jumping down making me laugh, he was growing faster than I had anticipated, I hadn’t even expected him to learn our language so fast. But acco
Niklaus:“What is the story of Verone? Who is that man? And why is he after your throne?” Kiara asked slowly. Her eyes stayed on mine as she watched my expression carefully. She wasn’t judgmental. I could tell that she was simply trying to understand, her hand held mine and she slowly intertwined our fingers letting me know that she was by my side, that she wasn’t going to judge or leave me.“He’s my twin brother Kiara” I said slowly waiting for her expression to change but she didn’t. Her eyes were as gentle and loving as they always were, and if I were not mistaken, they were even softer as she waited for me to continue with answering her questions “him and I were close long ago, we fought for the same cause, which was against the humans who were hurting our people. But Verone went too far, he wanted the people to submit to him, he was merciless, he lost his humanity, he started killing children for simply being h
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
