There were a thousand more questions Esmeray wanted to ask her brother, there were a thousand things she wanted to know about him but she couldn't do anything but stand there helplessly and watch him leave.

Something inside her clawed to get freed, to go after Isak, follow him to the place he called home, she wanted to meet the woman he called mother. A mother who was so fiercely protective of him.

'Will she be protective of Esmeray too?' A small voice in her head whispered leaving her breathless at the possibility that there are people out there who could adore her.

All her life Esmeray had lived on her own. She had always thought that was what she deserved.

To be alone...

And why wouldn’t she think that? The last family she had, ended up in flames.

Because of her, the only father she had was dead. The people who had taken her in their home, made her a part of their family had regretted being generous to her. And they hadn’t been shy to tell Esmeray that she was cursed to bring

    All Secrets Are Entrustments.All Secrets Are Told On Their Time. The sun was setting rapidly but for Vladimir every day felt like a year and every year like a millennium. Vladimir had lost someone dear to him. Someone for whom a selfish bastard like him can even give his life. When people die in front of you, then you learn to endure after some time. But when you lose a loved one in the sea of people, it brings remorse and restlessness of a lifetime. Vladimir hadn't felt like a living person in this castle for the past seventeen years. Esmeray had once mentioned that these ancient walls had a calling. She was indeed right. Because with the witch gone Vladimir could feel like the walls were mourning along with him. He gazed around, the walls around him had countless paintings of his bride's eyes. Eyes he had been catching glimpses of in his dreams. . . He still remembered the day he had lost her. It was the same day every flavor of life equaled to ashes for him. And from the pas

    Esmeray's heart was ringing in her ears as she stood at the boundary of her mother’s Queendom. Her journey to reach this mysterious Queendom located in the middle of nowhere wasn't that difficult but taking this last step and entering this foreign territory with her panic and anxiety kicking in was hard. Esmeray didn't know what she was doing here, she didn't even have a proper reason to come here. It was just that ever since she had met Isak there was this unsurpassable urge inside her to be close to him. She felt tied to Isak by an invisible bond. Was it because they were twins? She wondered. Esmeray had always been comfortable with being alone. Some days were fine but some days were hard and unproductive. Those days were the house of unspeakable longings and overthinking for Esmeray. Those were the days when Esmeray had always wondered what her life would have been like if she had lived with her birth parents. When she had left the Vampire Kingdom Esmeray had realized that may

    "Who are you and how the hell did you get past my barrier spell? I don’t remember permitting you to enter my Queendom.” Flames dancing at her fingertips, the Queen of Wastelands had come to meet the one who was ludicrous enough to invade her Marked Territory. Esmeray’s head snapped towards the small woman standing at a good distance from them. 'Mother~' Esmeray’s lips moved in a soundless whisper as she stared at her in a daze. A shiver went down Esmeray's spine as the Cold Queen strode towards them, making the ground vibrate with each step she took. The Queen of Wastelands was channeling her dominance through the ground beneath, exhibiting a glimpse of the destruction she was capable of. Her jet black hair with red tips was bound in a high ponytail. Her ears with pointed tips were on full display. Even crownless, dressed in a dull old pink shirt and ripped shorts the Cold Queen's presence demanded attention. Esmeray clenched her shaking hands into fists. Sweat dotted Esmeray'

    The Lost Souls gasped as their eyes fell on their precious Princess Esmeray who was standing on top of the stairs dolled up like a broken barbie, gulping vodka as if it was water.Dressed in a full-sleeved light blue gown embellished with gems, wearing the rarest diamond she took everyone's breath away. Her shimmery pale skin and mysterious violet eyes could even bring a King to his knees. She had tamed her platinum white curls in a bun that was resting against her neck. Every Lost Soul present in the old rusty mansion held their breaths. They knew what all this meant and what was about to come. It was one of those days for their Princess where darkness came and wrapped itself around her bones making her scream. . .

    . . .The Mighty King Has Craters She Didn't Create And She Had Darkness He Didn't Deserve. . .Esmeray peered at the Vampire King who was now back on his feet. He stood at her door drenched in rain, dressed in a white shirt and black pants hanging dangerously low on his waist, creating a puddle on the floor. Esmeray's eyes scanned the colors on his white shirt and hands, even the rain wasn't able to wash that away.He stood there, his face was pale, his skin damped from the rain. A hundred emotions were swirling in his dark forest green orbs that locked with hers. There were so many emotions swirling in his gaze but above them, all was hunger, a hunger so intense that even in her tipsy state it made her heartbeat crazy.After coming out of whatever trance he was under as Vladimir stalked closer he seemed like a predator eyeing its prey. Esmeray was somehow aware she should run yet she couldn't move a muscle. Energy hummed between them as he came to stand a foot away from her. When he

  • The Vampire King Reclaiming His Lost Princess     A Mother's Instinct

    Esmeray~ The name had caused turmoil in Amber’s mind. Queen Amber recalled that when her eyes had fallen on the girl who looked like her son's xerox copy it felt like time stopped for a moment. But that was not what bothered Amber, the fact that made her anxious was that the more she had stared into those violet eyes the more she got this dejavu feeling as if she knew that girl. She seemed a familiar~ The girl who had looked at Amber as if waiting for something to happen, there was so much uncertainty and vulnerability in her gaze. After years Amber's wild heart had felt oddly calm as if it had found its lost piece. She hadn't felt that calm since Isak was born. But the peace and stillness the girl's presence bought were short. Walking nightmares were lined behind that strange girl. Nightmares who had dared to enter Amber’s Territory. . . Whatever pull Amber felt towards that girl was overpowered by her motherly instinct to protect her unborn baby, her clueless son and subject

    What time was it? Was it already night? Or was it just dark in her room? Esmeray's mind was a fuzzy mess. She blinked rapidly to get rid of her blurred gaze. It felt like she was dying, everything in her body hurt especially her hands. And on top of that, she had the weirdest freakish dream. Esmeray dreamed of the Vampire King. Him in her domain, tending to her wounds, proposing to her, crying for her. What a crazy dream it was. . . How long was she going to pain for a meanie like him? Esmeray groaned. Even if she had left the bastard's Kingdom, the recollections of the time they had spent together won't leave her alone. "Fuck!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs. When she turned around with a moan which almost made her sound like a dying whale Esmeray gasped, trying to rise above the tide of churning emotions in her head. The King of Vampires in all his royal glory was sitting on a wooden chair beside her worn-out bed, looking spooked by her sudden outburst. Her heart stu

    Vladimir's fingers drummed rhythmically on the wooden table while his knee bobbed up and down. Sitting beside his bride for the past fifteen minutes he was anxiously waiting for her to say something, anything to initiate a conversation since she had come down after getting dressed. After another five minutes, giving up on the wait Vladimir decided to break the ice. "Why were you crying last night?" He asked in a gentle whisper, trying not to spook her. "You mean to ask why I was having an episode?" Esmeray lips twitched. This was a first. The blunt Vampire was filtering his words to gentle the blow. "I'm a busy person and it is hard to find time to vent my frustration out so I do that sometimes. I let the sadness consume me. It's a healthy way to manage my emotions." Feeling his eyes on her she looked down at her bandaged hands, shrugging as if it wasn't a big deal. "Are you single?" The Vampire King blurted out of nowhere making Esmeray's eyes snap towards him. "What if I'm not?

    ~Nothing Is Harder On A Soul Than The Smell Of Dreams While They Are Evaporating.~In her desperation, Esmeray looked at Amber. "Save me." Swallowing her pride the broken plea tumbled out of her lips.Amber gave Esmeray an uncertain look as if she wasn't sure how to react. The girl had a bruise forming on her cheek, there was a deep cut on her lower lip that was still bleeding, it was hard not to notice the streaks of drying blood that started from her upper lips and extended to her left cheek, a telltale of a nasty nosebleed. Even with a crown made of the finest gold on her head, the powerless trembling girl looked a world apart from the fierce woman the Vampire King had claimed as his bride and Queen on the altar. "What are you up to Almira?" Amber's voice was visibly startled when her flame-like gaze collided with the Vampire King who was on his knees. The side of his neck was bleeding while he held a sword at his own throat. 'Was the Vampire under an enchantment?' Ignoring the

    'When Dreams Turn Into Nightmares.'An icy chill runs down Esmeray's spine. As she took a startled step back but before she could go any further she felt Lord Igor's harsh grip on her arm as he pushed her forward making her stumble into the room. "I kept my word. Here's the witch. Now it's time for you to keep your word and let my cousin go." Igor's words made Almira scoff. "You think I can't see the burning contempt in your soul for this abomination? You would have bought her to me even if I didn't hold the Vampire King hostage." "What do you want?" Esmeray sneered, hating the tremble in her voice. Even if Almira was talking to Igor her eyes were watching Esmeray with such intense curiosity that Esmeray felt like the old witch could see right inside her, see the chaos, the panicked beating of her heart. The fear~ All the sorcerers of the Sacred Land had one thing in common. The sorcerers had seen all the Elders except two. Vincent the Conqueror and Lady Almira. Lady Almira was re

    Under the starry sky on the stage set in the middle of the Royal garden Raziel and Amell stared at Esmeray as she had her first dance with the King of Vampires who was now officially her husband. "Do you think we did the right thing?" Raziel asked his brother who was giving him company in the shadows, away from the preying ears and eyes. Raziel swallowed another sip of champagne from the crystal flute that threatened to break in his unforgiving grip, he had too much already but it still was not enough to endure the remaining hours of this ruse. "She is happy." Amell's statement was not enough to push the lingering doubts out of Raziel's mind. "The Vampire is going to admit his trade with Ascian. How do you think it will end up for everyone?" To calm his jittery intuition Raziel disclosed. "He is?" Amell smattered in shock. His eyes bounced between the newlywed couple and his brother. Clasping Raziel's arm in a warning grip Amell hissed under his breath. "Did you force the Vampire

    The vast gardens were illuminated with beautiful, soft candlelight, the round tables were covered in white cloth. Arrangements of roses in the darkest shade of red decorate each one, their scent thick in the humid night. The Vampire Kingdom's most prestigious allys and subjects were seated around the long aisle. Standing at the entrance of the royal garden Esmeray could make out the familiar figures of the Queen and King of Wastelands along with the Fey King seated at the front, closest to the altar. Her grandfather Aric King was missing and given his history with Vladimir Esmeray wasn't surprised at his absence. Esmeray belonged to their bloodline but they were nothing more than numerous strangers surrounding her tonight. "I wish Daddy was here. I miss him." Esmeray's voice was barely above a whisper as she felt a pang of longing in her heart. "Who said he is not here? Maybe he is among the stars staring down at you with a smile. He must be proud to see how far his little food fa

    "I can't feel my fingers." Esmeray's whining was accompanied by Amell's pained moan. "My back is killing me." After dealing with their end of the trade with the Dragon King the first thing they did was to transfer all the Dragon Gold from Esmeray’s old mansion to the Vampire Castle's secure Walt because it wasn't safe to leave the Gold out there after the Dragon King discovered that Esmeray had it in her possession. You can never trust a Dragon when it comes to Red Gold, they bloody protect it as their firstborn. Esmeray Raziel and Amell were sure once Aidan Draco was done dealing with his Mad Oracle he was going to come after Esmeray. "Did Aidan Draco find his bride?" Vladimir couldn't hold back his curiosity. "We don't know." Amell gave a careless shrug. "How could you not know? It was your trade to help the Dragon King find his bride." Vladimir asked instead of leaving the topic. And if there was anyone else in his place he would have done the same. Dragons were a specie th

    Vladimir stared at the Royal attire he had never worn before with a slight curve of his lips. Two hours ago when Esmeray left with the two wizards it occurred to Vladimir that he couldn't just show up at his wedding in his typical formal black dress. So the first thing he did was to call the royal couturier to alter the royal attire that he had never worn in his life. The news of his marriage was made public just an hour ago. His subjects and Kingdom were in uproar at discovering that their King was finally seizing a Queen. Esmeray will be the first woman who will sit on the Vampire Queen's throne after Vladimir's mother's death. Vladimir had chosen the garden as a venue. The preparations outside the castle were on full swings. Vladimir could feel a mix of excitement and eagerness thrumming through his veins as everything started to fall into place on its own. "You are truly marrying her." The mocking sneer followed by the sound of throaty, gruff laughter filling the air pulled V

    Esmeray stirred at the feel of the faint touch of cold fingers against her skin. Despite her mind being covered in the thick fog of sleep she moaned at the sparks going off on her skin at a familiar touch. The pointed tips of her ears twitched at the sound of muffled sobs coming from her left, bringing her out of her sleep-hazed state. Esmeray opened her eyes, blinking them rapidly to adjust to the room's low light. The moment her sight focused her eyes fell on Vladimir's face. She frowned at the tears rolling down his face as he stared at her legs. Despair settled at the pit of her stomach as she realized Vladimir was examining her scars. It almost felt like a dream seeing the Vampire King in a trance as his fingers gently traced over the thick scared tissues hidden beneath the ink on her legs. "Do they still hurt?" Esmeray’s heart twisted in knots at hearing the tremble in his voice. Somehow Esmeray knew he was not talking about physical pain. Her wounds had healed a long time

    The Fey King was the only Monarch Esmeray hadn't managed to piss off or taunted probably because he was not hostile towards her. By blood, the Fey King was Amber’s grandfather but the man had long ago banished his daughter who was the Rightful Hier to his throne when she had abandoned the Fey Throne by marrying the King of Beasts. But Esmeray didn't know how much of that information was true. "If you know her origin why don't you share it with all of us?" Aric reasoned. The beast residing in his soul wanted to know if the pull it felt towards Esmeray was by blood or because of compulsion. Esmeray exhaled a tiny breath, her chest twisted as she waited for the Fey King to disclose her secret but his next words surprised her. "Knowledge and secret hold power and a wise King never reveals information of his allies." The Fey King offered Esmeray a mischievous smile. "And you are allied with her, darling grandfather." Amber couldn't help but mock the Fey King. She couldn't believe that

    "If anyone has a problem with my appearance then they are welcome not to look my way. We are not here to fit in or seek any validation from anyone. So kindly refrain from telling me where I belong or not. The three of us are here just to keep an eye on my groom for protection purposes." Esmeray spoke unfazed by her mother's taunt. "Why do you think the Vampire King needs your protection?" Aric King asked with genuine confusion. It was hardly believable that a man of Vladimir's reputation would need someone's protection. The Vampire was a walking unhinged hazard. "What can I say? It's heartbreaking to admit it out loud that the Vampire won't sleep with me before our marriage so I am forced to protect his dee dee till our wedding night." Esmeray let out with a rueful shake of her head making Aric bit back a smile. "You are making it sound like you are marrying me for my body."
