The Predator CHAPTER 17
Alessandro fought hard to restrain himself. He was not new to the display of powers and dominance these vampires liked to show at every gathering. In the past, he had not cared about pets and had never brought one to any function. Isabella had been an exception, he wanted to show her off, he saw her as more than a pet a fact he was not willing to admit to himself or anybody else for that matter. He knew she was beautiful, and seeing her in that dress had made her even more delectable, what he and not expected however was for Vladimir one of the most ruthless vampire kings to show interest in her. Vladimir was a bloodline vampire king for a reason, he was powerful and he always got what he wanted. Good thing Alessandro was just as strong-headed. “It doesn’t seem we have much of a problem here. All I can deduce from this meeting is that you’re incompetent and unable to find a human Prince”, Vladimir bellowed out. Alessandro could feel Isabella tighten her fingers, he let go of her Im
The Predator CHAPTER 18
Isabella found herself in the same green landscape that she was once in the past. The green grass was blooming with a variety of colourful flowers, she walked towards a long chair that sat at the far end. She sat on it and overlooked the dense garden, suddenly she felt a presence. She turned to see a different lady from last time unlike the other lady this one had a silvery white mane, it was woven into French braids, and her hair was very long reaching way over her butt.Isabella noticed that despite the colour of her hair she seemed pretty young and beautiful. Tears glistened in the eyes of the lady and soon they were gushing out of her.“Sun..sun...Sunshine", the lady called out in a shaky voice, “Is that you?”. She moved closer to where Isabella was standing and she slowly reached for her face. She moved away slightly avoiding the lady’s touch not knowing what to expect.The lady seemed hurt but soon her eyes widened in realization, “No I would never hurt you my dear. I won’t”.Is

Isabella nodded in response, “Where are we going to explore first”, she asked excitedly. “Let’s go towards the human territory”, Cecily suggested. Soon they were on the trail leading to where the humans dwelled. Isabella chatted about everything and anything, Cecily answered her endless questions whereas Sam just laughed or smiled at anything she said. “Why is there a big gap between the vampires and humans even if they are all of the same kingdom", Isabella asked. “Nobody wants to be a vampire meal”, Cecily replied.“Things were way different when Queen Penelope was alive". Sam added. “Alessandro’s mom?”. “Yes", Sam answered, “She looked a lot like you". Isabella shrugged, “I’ve heard that a lot". “The marketplace", Cecily’s announced. Isabella’s eyes widened in excitement, “It is beautiful”. They were many stalls with a variety of items ranging from fruits and foodstuffs of different kinds to dresses of various colours... “They have everything", She squealed in excitement.

“Alessandro!”, King Malcolm who had walked in quietly observing the scene shouted. Alessandro halted and turned towards his father, “Father". “What is wrong with you Alessandro?”. Kieran signalled to Sam and he exited the study. “They have abducted her. They have Isabella”, Alessandro replied, "I just let her out of my sight for once and she's nowhere to be found!" “Well, then it’s good riddance to...”. Alessandro gritted his teeth, “I believe her brother has something to do with this..."“Whoever did it doesn’t matter what matters is that she is gone", the king snapped, “Someone finally helped you put away the trash that was making you less of a king!”. “I have never failed in my duties to you or Isles father", Alessandro retorted. “I’m going to find her and bring her back here regardless of what you say”.He started to move out when he stepped and turned towards Kieran, “Get a pack of the best trackers, we leave at nightfall. God help those men when I lay hold of them, they wo
The Predator CHAPTER 21
Louis trailed behind Deathly Shadow, they were accompanied by a total of twelve men. They entered a derelict tower. It was located in a dense forest. The tall trees and shrubs concealed it. It had not been in use for over a century and people barely came to the forest, but Louis could not help but check behind him now and then. The place gave him the creeps. The tower had been cloaked with a spell for precaution. Louis doubted that the vampires could find this place because there were a lot of smells, from different plants and animals but you could never be sure. Deathly shadow crinkled his nose, “I smell something. Something went down yesterday. Louis yearned to see his sister and get the whole planning and plotting over and done with. He also wanted to get out of here as quickly as he could, the steps leading to the summit of the building were old and not in use, so Isabella and the men were on the ground floor he pushed open the doors which were unlocked for some reason... “I tho
The Predator CHAPTER 22
Alessandro groaned, if the circumstances were different he would have considered it almost hot that she walked in on a meeting like this and interrupted it fearlessly, he had never met a woman like that.He already had a lot on his plate and the last thing he wanted to deal with was to clean one of Isabella’s messes. “Isabella”, he called out to her, “Leave this place at once", he stared at her sternly. He silently prayed in his heart that for once she would obey him, but of course, she stuck with being a dominant female that wanted to have her way by any means necessary. “Don’t tell me what to do Alessandro!”, she retorted, “You’re inhumane and...”. “You’re one to talk aren’t you?”, Alessandro flared, “Your brother had you kidnapped, I did it in...”. “He would never have hurt me!”. Alessandro visibly fumed, “Good for you, but your brother poses a threat to the existence of my kind and I would kill him if I have to protect the lives of the innocent masses...” “Innocent masses you
The Predator CHAPTER 23
Isabella found herself in her usual dreamscape, she was sitting on the bench, everything looked realistic and she wondered if this was more than a dream, the dark-haired lady she had first seen in this dream approached her. “Why do I always find myself here, where is this place?”, she asked puzzled. The lady sat on the bench before answering, “I do not have the answers. I just sometimes see you here and I come to talk to you". Isabella shrugged, “My life is one big story isn’t it?. On the one hand in my reality I have to deal with crazy vampires after my life and on the other hand in my dreams, I don’t even understand why I keep coming here”, she studied the woman’s features, you look a whole lot like me”. The lady chuckled, “You know I could say the same for you". She peered intently at Isabella, “I see the reason why now. You’re a strong lady”. Isabella shook her head, “I’m many things but strong isn’t one of them, I’ve been abducted, my family killed, I’ve lost control over the

Isabella stripped and wrapped her body in a robe. She came out and meet his piercing gaze, she tried to avoid eye contact. She sat on the edge of the bed and she slightly let the robe fall down her shoulders revealing her back. The few minutes it took for him to react felt like hours, she had never felt so self-conscious. She sat still for a while until his fingers traced along her back, she shuddered and a slight gasp escaped her lips. “You are not supposed to do that”, he said in an almost inaudible whisper. “You were not supposed to touch me either remember”, she said fiercely but it was hardly fierce, his touch always made her weak and lose control of her abilities. He ignored her and continued his careful examination of her back with his fingers. His fingers trailed along the length of her back, in a soft soothing caress. He seemed to linger for a while but it could only be her imagination. She felt herself flush every time his fingers came in contact with her skin. “You have

Alessandro made a mental note to pass the point across to the man in deserving ways, that Isabella was queen of the whole of Isle and East Angles. “...the issue at hand borders on our security as there could be a repetition of history if...” “There, security", Vladimir scoffed, “We have put pertinent matters like our security into the hands of a mere woman to handle” “It is more surprising that she is allowed to be a part of this meeting", Sebastien remarked. Alessandro clenched his teeth and was about to give a piece of his mind to them but his father beat him to it. “This is a meeting I have organized in my kingdom to talk about very pressing issues not who I allow into my court", Malcolm replied, he turned to Isabella, “Please do continue my child". She nodded with a small smile. “We have ignored the wishes or desires of the humans, that is why they revolted. I have spoken to them and they have made demands that are only fair...” “We now make deals with humans?”, Draven cackl
The Predator CHAPTER 54-Epilogue
Isabella took one last deep breath before she took fast strides towards the crowd gathered in front of the castle gates, her eyes scanned the crowds and she could make out they were humans. They were agitated, it was evident in their expressions. Men, women even children were gathered. They all harmoniously tipped their heads in a bow when she was introduced by the courtier, “Queen Isabella”. It was her first official meeting with humans and it was nerve-racking, rumours were flying around, humans lived in fear for their lives, they were terrorized and Alessandro had thrown the problem her way to deal with it. His excuse was that he trusted she could handle herself. She masked her nervous expression behind a facade of a prim and confident Queen. “People of Isles and East Angles, I must express my gratitude to you all for leaving behind your troubles to come to talk with me today", she stared at the crowd and intently and began after a brief pause, “It is pertinent to note that this
The Predator CHAPTER 53
Alessandro was dressed in a gold tunic, and a red long robe over him, a golden crown on his head, he stood beside his father, Kieran on the other side of him. The court was filled and overflowing with vampires and humans of very high class. Luckily for him, the arrangements were rounded up before sunrise and the wedding ceremony was on the way. Alessandro straightened up and stared at the door for the umpteenth time, he couldn’t wait to see... The doors opened up to reveal the most beautiful bride anyone had seen, the musicians began to play, Marie stood beside Isabella as they slowly sauntered in, she wore a silk gown with rich trimmings of other materials. It was gold in colour, the length stretching far outside the door. The dress was embellished with lace, jewels and other fine ornaments. Her dark long curls were held atop her head, and a few stray curls framed her face. A white fur graced her shoulders. His breath stopped at the sight of her, he stared transfixed, as she walked
The Predator CHAPTER 52
Alessandro had been with many women in all his life but being with Belle, the feeling was ethereal. Damn was she beautiful, every inch of her. Her full perky breasts, those curvy hips, the enticing scent of her arousal that drove him mad and led him to multiple orgasms... She moaned aloud as another wave-shattering orgasm shot through her, soon his came and he felt his feral side awaken, he bared his fangs as he had an overwhelming need to mark her, to claim her as his. He leaned forward, he licked her neck, the area around her carotid artery, his fangs plunged deeply into her causing her to moan loudly, this time around it wasn’t in pain but pleasure. It was a thing peculiar to vampires when forming a bond as strong as this, it wasn’t only her pleasure that she felt, he had transferred his pleasure through the bite mark... He held her close to him as he waited for her to regain her composure. She buried her face in his neck while her body was still shivering in the aftermath of the
The Predator CHAPTER 51-A New Dawn
Isabella looked at her reflection for the umpteenth time in the mirror, she didn’t know if she should wear her hair up or down, so she decided to tie it up. The maid had helped her clean up with a lot of scented soaps, she was dressed in a black lace robe. The room had been decorated as per Alessandro’s instructions.The red curtains with a streak of gold were drawn shut, rose petals were scattered around the room and on the large king-sized bed. The candelabra was the only source of illumination in the room, the bed sheets were white and red. The bedside tables had goblets of wine and blood. She knew what Alessandro had planned, the importance of the night to her, Alessandro and his kingdom, she moved towards the bedside table and picked up a goblet of blood and drank it. Just then the doors opened and Alessandro strode in. His eyes raked her body as he stared at her, his mouth slightly open. She quickly tucked her beside her ear, his gaze caused monkeys to jump in her stomach, thi

He itched to tell her what was on his mind but sitting beside her, holding her hands and watching as her eyes lit up at the starry sky had left his thoughts jumbled. He couldn’t seem to make sense of it, he had many words to say to her, and he had ended up telling her how beautiful she was. Beautiful was a far cry from how she looked tonight, without making any effort she had managed to be the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in all his life. Maybe it was his love for her, or the fact that her beauty was simply ethereal and otherworldly... He had many ideas of how this night could end with her in his... “Alessandro?”, her alluring voice called out to him “Yes, Belle?”. “You know this is where you profess your unwavering love and devotion to me and tell me I’m your soulmate and ask me to do the honours of being your wife and queen?”, she asked breathlessly. He stared at her in shock like she had told him his mother was still alive, “Do I really... have to say those words?. Is

Marie walked in on Isabella sitting in the large musical hall, her fingers slowly tapping on the keys of the grand piano, Sam had told her she would be there. She watched from the doorway as she played the piano. It was a beautiful melody, Marie smiled lovingly at her, she loved Isabella like she was her child. She had devoted her whole life to taking care of the royal family and even though Alessandro was centuries older than her she had treated him as her child. It was the same feeling she felt when they were introduced, no one deserved to go through half of what Isabella had gone through, she thought to herself, however, she had come out stronger. There was hope after all, a new dawn in Isles and a shot at happiness for Alessandro and Isabella. She walked inside the room clutching the dress Alessandro had made her keep in the past few years. “Bella child, you play so well". She smiled sheepishly and removed her hands immediately from the keys, “My mo...I mean Queen Violet taugh
The Predator CHAPTER 48
Malcolm had fully recovered and gone back to being his usual arrogant self, the people were calmed but Alessandro knew he needed to find a long-lasting solution to their problems. The court was going back to normal and people were going about their normal life as usual. However one person had not fully recovered, Isabella. She had not stopped blaming herself for all that had happened. She had disassociated herself from any form of human interactions, even Marie could not do anything to uplift her mood. She stayed tucked on the couch barely eating. Marie had advised that she needed to deal with her grief anyhow she pleased at her own pace but his patience was wearing thin, he couldn’t bare to see her like this. He opened the door to his chambers to see Isabella sprawled on the couch, twirling her locket in her hands, if she had noticed his presence she didn’t show it. “Belle I think you have punished yourself enough", he said, “It is not your fault that your family was too deranged t
The Predator CHAPTER 47
When they were outside, Alessandro looked at her, “I hope you will be fine, I’ll send Aunt Marie to you. I need to check on some things”. She looked at the worried expression on his face, “What is the problem, Alessandro?” “I need to see my father” Her eyes filled with concern, “Can I come with you please?” He paused for a moment before nodding his head and led her towards his father’s chambers. They walked in, and a few servants were gathered around him, he was pale as ever but he managed a smile when he saw them walk in. “Excuse us", Alessandro ordered the servants. They scurried away. Alessandro and Isabella sat beside his bed. “I thought you had abandoned your father”. “I couldn’t bear to see you this way”. They said nothing for a while, they just sat staring at him. “Why do you both look like you’re attending my funeral, I mean I’m still alive", Malcolm managed a short laugh. “Father you can’t be nonchalant about this, you’re not healing”, Alessandro replied, “The sil
