Klaus:
I looked at the guests who lowered their gazes when they met my intense one, not caring that they had nothing to do with the princess being upset or hurt, just the fact that they saw what they did, the way they did annoyed me, and I made sure to show it.
I followed the princess’s scent and heartbeat out of the ball room to find her in the hall close to the door as she wiped her eyes from the tears that fell out of them, slowly making my way toward her, not wanting to frighten or annoy her more than she probably was, I slowly took her hand in mine stopping her from wiping her tears and doing it myself, she involuntarily leaned in to my touch, her body taking over her senses before her mind could process the mating pull.
“I apologize for what happened” I said honestly, my eyes meeting hers in a soft gaze, her once emerald green eyes now bloodshot red from crying, I didn’t like the sight, it had my wolf howling as my fangs and canines
Klaus:I froze as I looked at the king who dared speak to my mate the way he was, not only has he been abusing her both physically and mentally, I did not want to believe that he would be using her sexually, as I was hoping that he wasn’t or else that would force one huge problem between the two of us, as I would not rest, regardless what the princess would say, until I had his life.“Need I ask what the princess has done to be exiled?” Prince Caspian, the man who was supposed to be her husband, asked, it didn’t please me that he was the one to ask, but he was right, the princess had done nothing to be put in such a situation.“You will not be questioning my decisions Prince Caspian”“The princess is my fiancé and wife to be King Leonardo”“I believe that the agreement, which you have clearly heard yourself little prince, clearly stated that the princess would be MY wife when she reaches
Kiara:I looked between Lorenzo, the guard who has been by my side for years now, Giovani, who didn’t seem phased by what his partner has done, King Niklaus who kept his eyes on me, as if the fallen body meant nothing, then at Emily, who was dead, right before my eyes, with a hole in her chest, her heart thrown by her side as Lorenzo tossed it on the ground, my hands shaking at the sight and my heart racing in fear as I fought myself not to run away from what I had just witnessed.“Why?” I asked, it was the only word I could voice out without throwing up, the sight being frightening to me as it was the first time I’ve seen something this barbaric in my life, not even animalistic, an animal would never be pulling a heart out and shoving to the side this coldly, none of them seeming worried or frightened by what had happened a mere few minutes ago.“She has hurt you badly, betrayed your trust in her, and told your parents on you despi
Klaus:I watched as my mate stood frozen while everyone bowed to her, her cheeks turning crimson as she didn’t know what to do or who stood in front of her, but little did she know was that she was going to be the queen of everyone who was in this room, that she was going to be loved and respected by everyone, and that no one was ever going to treat her unjustly.Everyone rose and lifted their eyes to look at the beauty who was to be my wife, having no jewels on her but the bracelet I gave her, and the ball gown which she was wearing made her look even more special in my eyes as it gave her a natural glow of being her own self rather than whatever she was wearing, and I smiled loving how flustered she seemed as she didn’t know what to do, despite her being a princess, she was not used to being around a big crowd who respected her deeply, but everyone who meant anything has heard of my beauty.“Welcome to the kingdom princess” Madeline, ou
Kiara:I opened my eyes to the sound of a bird chirping on my window.It took me a few seconds to register where I was when I realized that this was not my chamber back home and that I had left the palace last night.My eyes widened when I realized that my mother had lost her child and I had left her alone to deal with whatever wrath father was going to throw her way, only to remember that I was exiled by my father because mother had lost the baby in the first place, the look mother had given me as if silently begging me to leave the castle and free myself from the prison I was living in.I was lost of words at everything that had happened last night that I didn’t notice the door to my chamber being gently opened and a girl who looked like a maid, slowly walked in to I’m assuming wake me.The girl froze at the sight of me awake and sitting with my back leaning against the headrest as I was lost in thought, my fingers fiddling with the d
Klaus:I sat in the dining room waiting for my mate to join me for breakfast, knowing that Anastasia went to wake her up a while ago, the butler poured my coffee inside my mug when the door opened revealing my mate.Her blue dress hugging her features perfectly, revealing just the right amount of skin, exposing her collarbone and arms, the dress was tight around her waist and loose around her hips reaching her knee, the bracelet I gave her was the only jewel she was wearing making me smile that she had not taken it off, her hair was left in its natural curls, making her look even more beautiful than she already was.“Good morning love” I said standing up and walking over to her, taking her hand in mine and bringing it to my lips, kissing her knuckle softly, my eyes meeting hers as I did to see a blush make its way to her cheeks making me smile as I pulled away.“Good morning your highness” she smiled but I raised an eyebrow at her
Kiara:I stood in front of the chamber door unsure how I even managed to enter.My mind on the kiss Niklaus and I just shared, how his lips were pressed against my own, his gentleness, the way he held me close, it felt like my body was begging me for more, to just run into his arms and feel him, hold him close for a little while longer.I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t even notice Anastasia and Jasmine, the other maid who had helped me shower and choose my clothing this morning, staring at me with wide eyes, their smiles on their faces telling me that they saw just how flustered I was, but who would be blaming me? I just lost my first kiss to the hybrid king, right in front of my chamber’s door.“Princess, would you like us to get you something to drink?” Anastasia asked cutting my train of thoughts short, distracting me from losing my own self-control and heading to the king once more, just to feel his touch against me o
Klaus:“What do you mean that the human bastard wants to speak to me?” I asked Ian, my younger brother who had come to pay me a visit this morning, King Leonardo had dared call for my brother to speak to me, my eyes flaring as I looked at my younger brother who shook his head at me wanting me to calm down and listen to him before getting angrier than necessary, which was not possible when that thing, well king, was mentioned, the vision of him raising his hand on my mate still fresh in my brain, especially since it had been only two nights ago.“He called for me yesterday, he wants to speak to you for some reason” Ian said, his blue eyes meeting mine, he ran his fingers through his black hair as he saw my angered expression, though he didn’t seem phased by it as he knew that it wasn’t directed to him, he was simply delivering a message while that king had the nerve to even think that I would be looking his way, he was lucky that I ha
Kiara:I walked toward my classes with Anastasia and Jasmine following close behind, having taken history, and languages first, learning all about the different languages of the realm as it turns out that each creature had its own language, the history of the different kings and queens who have ruled the magic world, against or alongside humans, the deals that were made, the betrayals too.My mind wondering back to Klaus who was probably seeing my father in his throne room right now, I was curious to know what he wanted, why he had contacted Prince Ian, especially since he was the one who asked me to leave the kingdom, claiming that if he ever saw me, that my life would be taken by his own hands, therefor for him to be here after putting that threat out was confusing and just sounded wrong, well that is of course unless someone had died.Had something happened to mother?The thought alone forced me to stop my track as I was walking following a guard who w
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
