The Royal Ascension Chapter 13: Under Control
Landon's hand was then wrapped around my waist when we entered the huge luxury yatch. I had been in different parties back when I was a human, so basically this is not new to me anymore.I was totally relieved when I saw that like Landon said, everyone in the party is vampire. Of course I trust Landon would never risk our plans in letting me go wild in an elite party, but I guess my instinct just don't trust fully and that I still should confirm it with my own two eyes.A man and a woman went to us at once. Based on how the man held the woman's waist and how intimate they were, I think they are most probably a couple. The woman was wearing a crimson red glittery dress with a big ribbon in the left shoulder. The man on the other hand is wearing a dark blue tuxedo and a bow tie. In human age, I guess they are around early thirties or something near that."I'm so glad that you came, Landon," the man said and the way he smiled at Landon gave me an idea that they had long knew each other.
The Royal Ascension Chapter 14: Forgetting Everything
Insanity.If there is one word that could describe that night, it would be that word. I could not believe that I had actually brought myself to do that with Landon. I gave in. I gave my virtue to him and I could not believe that I really did that. Even when I was with Carter, we never came to that point. Or maybe Carter had just amazing self-control to step over his limits. And it was different with him before because I was a human and he needed to be careful.But then, it was also different with Landon, a lot different because in the first place, I had no feelings for him. I did not love him the way how I loved Carter before. So what the hell pushed me to throw all my inhibitions away and go with the flow. It is very obvious that Landon just wants to play. Of course what else could be the reason why he did that? It is impossible that he developed some kind of feelings for me in those couple of weeks. And Landon is certainly not the 'falling' type. I even doubt if he had a history of
The Royal Ascension Chapter 15: Luxurious Event
"I have an urgent news, My Lord." Henry just suddenly appeared from the shadows when Landon and I were walking at his manor's hallway. We are about to leave for the ball."Is this matter very urgent?" Landon asked, his hand did not leave my waist."I suppose.""Speak.""Sebastian is gone."Landon's eyes went focused and darker. "What do you mean he is gone?""He is dead, My Lord."I have once met this man named Sebastian. He is also one of the few trusted subordinates of Landon that is why to hear about his sudden death did not sound good. In fact, I wonder. Vampires don't die in natural deaths, most especially not in accidents. So there must be one reason why he died—he was killed."Who killed him?" Landon's tone sound so silent and lethal, I felt like he is ready to burn the culprit alive for killing his subordinate. Of course Landon is not dumb. By now he surely have an idea why Sebastian was killed. It must be to provoke him.I really have no idea how many enemies do Landon has, b
The Royal Ascension Chapter 16: Rot in Hell
Alec couldn’t speak in too much irritation and probably, anger. His eyes were so red, like the color of evil itself. The color of blood and war. The color of death. Yes, red can symbolize love like that of a rose. But it could symbolize many things such as what I have mentioned already.I know what I am doing is a big risk, but I have to try regardless. I need to save the innocent lives of those people who chose to stand by my side. They don’t deserve death like that especially when Alec is the one serving it. He is evil. His soul—if ever he has one which I doubt—deserves to rot in hell all together with his evil subordinates, especially Vienna. If only I am given a chance, I will really kill her. With the anger I am feeling for her, I won’t miss it for sure. She is just lucky that I am not capable enough to do that especially with the given circumstance. Because if only I was capable enough and there is no Alec blocking my way, I would have surely done it, given of course with the he
The Royal Ascension Chapter 17: Don't Compare Them
Lea’s POVI kept my eyes closed until my breathing gradually subsided. I was lying on the bed, without any covering under the blanket. Carter is lying beside me while planting feathery kisses on my shoulder. I turned my back on his chest so I could feel his warm body pressing against my back. I stayed still, tired of what we just did."What do you want to eat, hmm?" he whispered huskily. His hug tightened on me.I sighed and opened my eyes."Anything."He held my hand and lifted it up towards his lips. He sealed it with a little kiss. "Just don't go with Emery. I know you're tired. Let's just cuddle here.""But I've already said yes to her. That is rude you know.""I'll just tell her that you're tired." He intertwined our fingers and buried his face on my neck. “She would understand for sure.”I really want to be with him. But with my body's state, I'd rather sleep. So I just agreed with Carter's wishes. I'm sore and weak. I’m not in the right disposition to do anything else. I just w
The Royal Ascension Chapter 18: Let Henry Train
“Jaxon is outside,” just when Mom said that, I smelled a werewolf’s scent, Jaxon’s scent.Landon glanced at me with a darker expression. Of course he doesn’t like Jaxon. But then they are even because Jaxon feels the same. We just finished cooking pancakes and watching a football game while Mom throws question every now and then. I was a little uneasy about it though because I felt Mom has doubts on Landon, but the way I see it, Landon isn’t the least bit affected and is all polite to her. Well, maybe he’s trying to impress her. I would love that kind of effort given to my mother but as much as I want that, I also don’t want to put too much pressure on Landon’s shoulders. I don’t want him to feel that he has to force himself into doing something just for me. I don’t mind if he would show a little irritation or something, but he didn’t. or maybe he just really doesn’t mind.“I told him that you visited. He told me he is coming,” Mom went on.“When did you tell him? It’s just early in t
The Royal Ascension Chapter 19: Trembling, Blazing
“While I was in Alec’s manor, I discovered something,” I said to Landon while I was leaning on his chest after our heated lovemaking. It was when I had the time to talk about what happened in the manor. I never had the chance earlier because I was too busy dealing with how badly I missed Landon and all I just wanted was for him to touch and kiss me. who can blame me anyway? We were just done with our second and the real wedding, and we were in the middle of our honeymoon but Alec ruined it all, imprisoned me at his goddamn manor and put me chained in a grand bed, disabling me from doing anything for the whole eleven days. Can you imagine how much pains I have went through within those days? One couldn’t imagine.“What did you discover?”“Elizabeth had a family.”“She had?”“Yes. She was adopted. But her adopted father did something that made her run away from home. You heard about different sects that dominated Great Britain in late 18th century? She was an heiress of an influential s
The Royal Ascension Chapter 20: The Council's Chief
Slowly, the glittering thing above me became clear. It's a chandelier. I am in my room, in my bed. My sweat was dripping and I didn’t know why I was feeling so nervous."Don't worry, she is just fine," it was a familiar voice. Is it our family doctor?I closed my eyes for several seconds. When I opened it again, I froze when I saw my father's worried face, his sea-green eyes reflecting mine. I gulped, suddenly confused as to why I was feeling scared.I was about to ask what happened when I suddenly remembered something. It was as if I were drenched in cold water when everything I heard in the study came back to me. If there is a stronger feeling than being horrified, then that is what I'm feeling."I'll take my exit now, Lord Alzaro."Dad nodded at the doctor. I was gripped tightly by the blanket when the two of us were left there. My father never showed me violence. He always understands me, that it makes me feel guilty to be scared of him now."What is wrong, Eli?"I slowly climbed

The Royal Ascension Chapter 28: Everything Perfect
Tears of joy rolled down my cheeks when I read what is written in the invitation delivered to me. Landon, who was carrying our little girl in his arms, went to me with an alarmed face when he saw my expression.“What is wrong?”I shook my head and smiled. “I’m just happy.”“Happy about what?”His eyes drifted to the invitation card I was holding.“Carter is getting married?” His gaze went back to me and I saw his worried face as if something is wrong with me, or that I feel bad about it and he wants to comfort me or something.“Yes.” Whoever this Lea Da Vinci is, I am happy that she filled the hollow part in Carter’s heart. He is such a good man and I have been waiting for this day to come. For him to be finally happy again. For him to be loved again the way he deserves to be. And I feel so glad that I couldn’t help but burst to tears.“You are upset because he’s getting married,” Landon stated in a calm voice as if he understood clearly that I love another man aside from him.“No! I
The Royal Ascension Chapter 27: Love for a Lifetime
Everleigh's POVOne would really doubt if he would know my history and how I ended up lying on the sacrificial table voluntarily as an offering for whatever ritual this is. The night after I came to see Alec is the month's full moon—the day of the ritual. Alec must be so happy that I am finally making his dream come true. I could see it in his eyes. Though, I could also see that he felt not the least bit of remorse for what is about to happen. All I could see in his eyes is pure excitement, joy and nothing else. He will never regret this for sure. He has no conscience.On the other hand, I know how Elizabeth would feel if she would wake up in another person's body who looks exactly like her and know that for her to come back, she needed to kick out the poor girl's soul out of her own body so she can replace it. She would feel real bad for sure. She would despise Alec more than what she did before. She would also despise herself for being the cause of it all. She would hurt and I doubt
The Royal Ascension Chapter 26: Most Precious
After one month…As soon as I got out of bed I immediately felt nauseous. I quickly run towards the bathroom. I grabbed my hair and vomited on the sink.Early in the morning this is what happened. So I couldn't help but doubt that Lili's suspicion was true. From what I've heard, pregnant women sometimes have morning sickness.I heard the bathroom door open, I no longer bothered to look back because I was busy vomiting. No one enters my room without asking for permission first except Carter."Baby," his voice was soft.I thought he already left last night but here he is, fueling my irritation again."Why are you here? Get out! I don't need you here! You should leave me!"I tried to get out but he just blocked me. With our body's closeness, I can smell his manly perfume. I inhaled his scent. It's so fragrant I feel like I want to smell you all night.But I tried to ignore the feeling of wanting to hug and smell him all day."Don't block my way, Carter!"He sighed. A ghost of smile plast
The Royal Ascension Chapter 25: Devil's Den
The weeks I spent with Landon after the wedding felt like the happiest moments of my life. I was afraid though. It was ironic that I felt afraid in the middle of happiness, but I guess it really goes that way. When you are too happy, you would want that moment to never end because of course people always prefer to be happy, right? That’s where the fears start. You would fear that the moment will end. And I wasn’t an exception. In the middle of my so good happiness, I got afraid that our happy moments will soon end.True enough, I realized that everything does have an ending, and that one should brace himself when he feels so much happiness because no one knows what is waiting for you after it.And on my case, I thought I already have my happy ending because that was what I felt with Landon, but I was wrong. It was proven that when you are happy the most, that’s when you could become vulnerable the most. What makes someone vulnerable? Fears. The desire for happiness. Family. Love.“Dri
The Royal Ascension Chapter 24: No Trust
"Here's your room," Adeline once opened a door. After dinner she immediately volunteered to guide me to my room."Actually, my maids' rooms should be near my chamber. That's why there are no vacancies there. It's not that far from you. Just go straight this way and you'll find a door with a symbol of a sun and tiara.""I'll remember that," I said and nodded."I will send clothes for you. You can ask for anything else you need.""Thank you, Lady Adeline.""You're welcome, Elizabeth. Get some rest."I nodded. He smiled and nodded as well before turning around and walking down the hallway he had pointed to earlier. I sighed and went in.Not small and the room but also not oversized. It's bigger than I expected, actually. In the Deluca mansion, the two of us slept in a smaller room. So this is a lot better.The bedsheets are white, the curtains are gray and simple. The whole room was clean and organized. I sighed and faced the large mirror there.I shook my head disappointedly when I saw

I just quietly obeyed his command so that we could finish there. I got a black dress shirt on his rack of clothes. I handed it to him."Here," I said.His forehead creased. Did not accept."What? You said you want a black–""Help me wear it. Do I have to say that too?"I sighed and swallowed all the irritation and impatience. Remember your goals, Serra. Be patient. Just a little more patience.I helped him put the sleeves on each arm. I held my breath because of the irritation. He noticed it. I know because I saw mockery in his eyes as he watched me buttoning his shirt. He badly wants to torture me and this is his way. My anger and misery satisfies him."I can see that you don't like doing this. Why not give up, instead? Just tell me what I want to know and you'll be freed."I finished the last button before looking up at him. I equaled his dark stare with dauntless eyes filled with grit."Thank you, but no. I don't intend to give up. I'd rather be killed."His eyes grew grimmer by th
The Royal Ascension Chapter 22: Enslaved
Everyone's eyes went to me. I was caught off guard. I could not speak immediately."I told you so, Adelle. You shouldn't trust anyone easily," Lucian said.Adeline looked at me, shocked too. I shook. How did it happen that it was found in my room? I didn't steal anything!"N-No! I didn't do it, Lady Adeline! I don't know how that got to my stuff!""How are you going to explain the evidence, then?" Venice asked.I did a quick thinking."What about CCTVs in the hallways?""It was already checked. The past days, no one entered Adeline's chambers except the four of you. And I also don't know who took it. But who knows you hid it somewhere in your dress? Because it can be seen on CCTV?" Lucian, raised an eyebrow at me.My fist clenched, trembling. The corner of the eye heats up with excessive irritation.“I didn’t steal anything,” I insisted.Lucian smirked. "The evidence is right in front of you, Miss Elizabeth. My sister's necklace was found in your belongings. Isn't that enough to prove
The Royal Ascension Chapter 21: Hidden Diary
I stared at the torn parts of the diary. It just stopped there and my mind was left with so many questions that I think it could blow my head off. What was that? Why did Elizabeth wrote about her and those people? And take note, there was no special abilities mentioned. Even her didn't describe that there was something supernatural with herself when she was supposed to be a full blooded vampire—someone who was supposed to be very much capable of protecting herself. But on the first part, it was obviously stated that she feared that Mr. Deluca and how fortunate she was that Weston and Lucian arrived that time and saved her from the bastard's hands.And why do I feel like something had developed between her and Lucian? And how she described each detail of the events that took place that time, it was all humanly. I have lot of questions about the happenings, all right. Like the sects and all, but of course it took place probably a century ago, and most likely not in United States. I supp
