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

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

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

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!

“No, Ophelia. You can’t go,” Demitri told me with firm voice when I insisted that I should go fight with them.“But—”He shut me up by putting his index finger on my lips.“No buts. Please, you are pregnant with our child for Pete’s sake. I don’t want to put you in danger. Stay here and wait for my return. We will be back shortly after we are done with that bastard Ren Lancaster,” he promised and muttered a curse. Utmost lividity was evident in his dark sea-green eyes at the mention of the man’s name.Ren Lancaster is now the one who holds Frostville, a kingdom at the south near the werewolves’ kingdom. After raising rebellion and killing the king, he proclaimed himself as the new king. At that time, David was there and he protected the princess he was fond of. But with Ren’s dark magic, the people in Frostville were no match to him.Ren has also mastered the power of man

I leaped and attacked Ren aggressively. Raja followed my move, probably thinking that he should finish Ren off before I lay my hands on him. But to my surprise, the hall’s floor turned to ice and I heard another growl, from an unfamiliar dragon this time. An ice dragon went in and attacked Raja. I saw how Ren smirked with satisfaction etched in his eyes, so I figured that the dragon must be his.“Surprised, sweetheart? You see, I am also a dragon summoner. The two of us are the same. We fit for each other. I guess it’s what they call destiny?”“Destiny, you fool! What did you do to them?! Where is Demitri?!” I yelled and lifted my hand in the air. My blazing sword appeared and I held onto it tightly as I sauntered forward.I lashed my sword in the air, creating waves of fire, but he blocked it so fast with his wind blades.“I heard you are pregnant? One month? Two? It’s not visible yet so I wonder. I suggest

The ground shook and I saw how large vines crawled inside the hall. I looked at Queen Romina and saw her eyes turned to fiery green. I didn’t waste time and made my own move. I formed the dragon’s bow—a blazing bow that could make a fire arrow that could burn anything. I aimed Ren who’s now cutting the large vines attacking him. I thought it would hit him, but just when it was about to hit the part of his chest where his heart lies, he moved as fast as lightning.He threw a ball of dark energy towards Queen Romina that slammed her to the wall. It all happened too fast, I wasn’t able to move.The queen coughed blood and my lips parted. I quickly ran towards her side. That was a big blow, it must have badly injured her.“Mother, are you alright?”She struggled to give me a nod but I know she can no longer fight with her condition. Her body is weak. During those days she locked herself, she hadn’t eaten anythin

Raja slowly vanished and returned to a red smoke. It then went back to my necklace, and all I was able to do was watch the last trace of him vanish in thin air.‘Raja, are you there?’ I asked through our mind link, hoping that he’s just in the necklace and still could talk to me.But his response didn’t come. Not even his usual growl when he doesn’t feel like answering my question or when I’m doing something stupid. All I hear was silence. Empty silence that made me feel so cold inside.“Your annoying pet is now sealed, dear Ophelia. He can’t interfere my business anymore,” Ren said evilly.With tears in my eyes, I tried to talk to Raja again, but there was no answer. He was really sealed into endless sleep and I don’t have the least bit idea how to awaken him. Even King Arthur and Queen Romina thought that there was no way to awaken David. They said that the seal can only be broken by the one wh

"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

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
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
