Thaddeus marched out of the dungeon and up into the main palace. Corpses upon corpses of dead Arab soldiers he had been scared into cowardice by. He knew the fight was a lost one and so he made no effort to fight but was it really Sebastian's little wife that did so?

Getting to the throne room, he met Sebastian finishing off an Arab soldier with a stab of his claws.

"Good one, brother, seems you're one of the good blood suckers," he spoke, folding his arms behind him, his fingertips grazing his sword.

Sebastian let go of the dead soldier, his nose picking up a familiar scent, his vision travelled and what he saw made his blood boil. He shut his eyes, calming himself and turned to his brother with a stern face.

"Where's Justus?"

"Somewhere," Thaddeus shrugged, taking slow steps around.

"And my wife?"

Thaddeus smiled, "I should thank you, really, she is a feisty one. Saved the day while I hid like the coward I am in the dungeons."

"Where's she?"

He feigned ignorance, "ran off somewhere

    A year after…"Okay go on, children, go help mother," Aurora smiled at the little ones. They happily ran off, chattering excitedly amongst themselves."You'll tire yourself out if you keep attempting to be everywhere, my lady," Justus spoke, falling in step with her.She chuckled, "I am simply keeping myself occupied. Where have you been?"They walked together around the busy marketplace, enjoying the cheery mood of the villagers."Making preparations to find lord Sebastian and issue him a query for not visiting for two whole months."She laughed, "Don't do that, Justus. I'm sure my husband has his spectacular reason for doing so.""I know, I do not worry about him.""So why do you bother? Thank you, Zeus blessings," she smiled gratefully at a villager who offered her oranges from his produce."Zeus blessings," Justus bowed in appreciation."Because I worry about you. You're pretty lonely here without him and no matter how much you occupy yourself with your duties, it still doesn't fi

    "Whatever happened?" She queried, bewildered. Her hands ran over his face, mesmerized."You happened," he smiled at her."What?""After I my close court with death and you saved me with you blood, I never noticed the effect it had since I avoided the sun completely," he paused, kissing her hand, "but once, over a month ago, I had to fight off enemies that tried to conquer us and the battle lasted into dawn. The sun shown down and we fled and I thought I wouldn't make it, some of us didn't but then I noticed that the I wasn't cursed with the sum any more. I could walk freely and bask in it's glory,"Her eyes were wide. She looked up at the sun and back at him."That's… that's…" she shook her head, still speechless.He nuzzled her hand, "I decided I had to get to the bottom of that miracle and so I travelled to see a clairvoyant which was why I was unable to see you for almost two months, my love and I apologize dearly. Finding a clairvoyant was harder than I thought as most of them wer

    The stench of blood and fire was preeminent in the air as they galloped deep into the woods and to the town.When they got there, the raiders were gone, some of the villagers were kidnapped and some dead, the rest were injured or terrified.They set to work to gather the people and offer treatment to those who were injured."Who did this?" Sebastian queried with annoyance. King Asnus bowed low in fear."My lord, I do not know, perhaps someone with a bone to pick," he answered.Sebastian narrowed his eyes at him, "if you were experiencing troubles, you should have gone to report yourself to the empress.""Yes, my lord, forgive me.""Now a great number of your peopley people are dead. We have experienced too much losses these past years, we must avoid any more at all cost.""Yes my lord.'"Now tell me who had a bone to pick with you.""King Hilary of Venice, my lord.

    Sebastian, tired of the excessive talking, leapt into action. As they spoke, he sized up each of the wolves and easily took notice of the weakest one. He lunged for him, knocking him to the ground with one punch. The rest of the wolves charged st him, baring their claws and fangs. They fought, talons cut through flesh, fangs sank into soft flesh, sand blinded glowing eyes. Minutes later, Sebastian had most of them on the floor, groaning. "Come on, wolves," the leader drawled, obviously displeased, "he's just one against eleven of you. Pick yourself up." Sebastian marched to the werewolf whose scent he has caught on one of his dead soldiers. He plunged his hand into his chest and ripped out his heart. Silence reigned for a second then the werewolf leader was leaping for him. He dodged, then aimed for his stomach, throwing a hard punch. His arm bled from the deep wound he received and his legs bled from where the rest of the men, now back in wolf form, tore at his skin. The leader k

    Sebastian climbed up the palace porch stairs. Justus was at the entrance to welcome him. "My lord, glad to have your back," Justus said with a bow. Sebastian nodded with a noncommittal gruff sound. He made to walk past Justus but stopped short. "Did no one realize that one of the towns was attacked?" He asked. Justus's eyes widened, "my lord, I've been busy with palace activities and I haven't gone out much. If there was, I had no idea. Pardon me, my lord." Sebastian's eyes narrowed at him, "none of the soldiers noticed?" "If they did, they definitely did not inform me," Justus answered quickly. Sebastian tilted his head, a strange look on his face then he walked in abruptly. Justus heaved a quiet sigh. Getting to his quarters, the delicious aroma of carefully prepared meals wafted into his nostrils. His stomach grumbled almost at once. "You never cease to amaze me, my lady," he spoke, very pleased, walking into the bedroom. She was standing by the bedside, awaiting his arriva

    "Aurora," Sebastian sighed again. She blinked innocently at him then turned to the stunned vampires. "Quick, tie them up and get them into the caves. It's almost sunrise." They did as she said, tying the werewolves up with strong silver chains and taking them to the caves where they dwelled. "I requested that you don't use your powers, Aurora. I don't want any harm to come to you," Sebastian spoke as they followed after them. "No harm shall come to me, Sebastian. I did what I had to do. The vampires were tiring out and the sun almost rising, that would have been a massacre." "I do agree but in the future…" "I will look after myself," she smiled up at him, "come on, Bastian, you worry too much." They went into the caves. "I offer my gratitude, I appreciate your help," Sebastian smiled at the war-beaten vampires. Aurelius tisked while the rest snorted or made non-committal noises. "As if," one of them spoke, "you do not need to thank us, lord Sebastian. We have simply done what

    "You came here all of a sudden. Is anything the matter?" She asked once they settled in for the morning meal. Big steaming kettles and moist pastry were brought in and tea poured out for them. "Where's Julian?" She asked the maid who poured tea for her but the maid bowed and walked away without a word. Her eyes narrowed. Another stared at her, her lips moving but no words coming out. "There's something terribly wrong, Aurora," Sebastian frowned, noticing the strange atmosphere, and only then did she remember the invisible sound barrier she created. She sighed and whispered to the wind. "My lady, you seem not to hear a thing of what I say," "I apologize," Aurora smiled at the maid who had been speaking, "what do you have to say?" Sebastian looked at his wife and at the maid, still perplexed then he came to the realization. "Prince Julian has requested absence from the meal, my lady," the maid spoke. "Is he not well?" She inquired with concern. "I do not know." "As he pleases,"

    "Prince Julian," Aurora sighed, rubbing her jaw, "Justus only began acting strange when he arrived." She turned to Sebastian who was busy packing up a large satchel. "Do you wish to visit the clairvoyant immediately?" She asked him, already feeling sad. "Yes, I must. The faster I find answers, the faster we put an end to this menace." He zipped up the satchel and rose from the mattress. His sharp eyes quickly surveyed the room then he unstrapped his sword and bow from the wall. "I wish I could go with you," she sighed, wrapping her arms around herself. "I will be fine," he said, coming to her. He kissed her deeply and placed one last peck on her forehead, "if you feel lonely, whisper to the wind and you'll find me." She nodded and escorted him out to the stables. "I will stop shortly at the cave before moving on. Wish me well." She waved enthusiastically at him as he rode off. Once he was out of sight, her arm fell. "Oh Sebastian, please be fine," she sighed. She turned and

    The next two days, they spent letting the fire burn. No one was satiated yet, no one could stop them, no worries could bother them. On the third day, they finally stepped out to get some cool evening air and some groceries. "Everything feels different, better," she spoke as they walked into a store together, their rented car parked outside. They were in Tanzania. They rented a lone beach house which required a twenty minutes drive to get into town. It was perfect, just what they wanted. "And why is that?" He teased as they perused through shelves, hands locked. "Because we are finally finally together and my expectations of you in bed was superseded..." "Isabella!" He whisper shouted, wide eyes fixed on her. She laughed, pressing a quick kiss to his agape mouth. "What?" She asked with a smile, "do I not get to compliment my husband's bedroom skills?" He shook his head, looking around to make sure no one heard. He looked back at her, "Isabel, seriously?" "We should expect a baby

    "I think you have done really well for your first week. You should be able to do things without supervision now... I guess that's the person that's been picking you up since you first arrived. Your boyfriend?"Isabel's lips twitched. "My fiancee," she answered with a smile. "Oh, wow, that's great. When's the wedding?" Isabel opened her mouth to reply just as Ezekiel rounded the car with a big smile in her direction. "What?" She heard Irene gasp but her mind was clouded with too much love for it to register. Her legs carried her across the road to him. "I love you," she mumbled as he enclosed her in a hug. "I think our engagement is making both of us jelly," he laughed, kissing her cheek, "I didn't even realize I was smiling so wide." She kissed him lightly and stepped back a little. Oh heavens, she laughed internally, remembering she abandoned her supervisor. "Irene?" She heard Ezekiel mumble. She turned around, seeing the dazed look on Irene's face. "Don't tell me..." she mu

    Ezekiel whirled laughing Isabel around. She was clad in a purple graduation gown, her cap hanging loosely in her right hand."I'm dizzy," she forced out between laughs, holding unto him tightly. He set her down on her feet and kissed her loudly."How does it feel?" He asked, beaming."I don't know," she laughed, "you are rubbing your excitement all over me and I don't even know how I feel.""Exactly," Lily intervened, "you are acting like you have never experienced a convocation before. Get off her."His entire family came to celebrate her, his cousin and his beauty wife included, with their baby."She's not your girlfriend, Lily, mind your business," Ezekiel eyed her playfully.They moved off to a little spot they set out for a picnic and they spent the rest of the day being happy for her. The group stayed an extra day before leaving. It was just two of them left now.When their relationship was a year old, they sat down for a serious conversation. They rented a beach house for the w

    Sebastian was just bringing the car around when Isabel and Aurora walked out of the airport."You must be Isabel," the man she recognized as Ezekiel's cousin spoke when he got to them."Yes," she replied with a warm smile, watching how he casually put an arm around Aurora's waist and kissed her hair, "it's nice to meet you."They shook hands. They definitely had good genes in their family. Ezekiel was her boyfriend, the man she loved but she couldn't confidently say he was more handsome than his cousin."Ezekiel is bringing the luggage, we can wait in the car. You don't mind, Isabel?""Of course not, he left me with the luggage in the first place," she answered with a roll of her eyes. Their little group chuckled and they moved to the car. Sebastian hovered over his fiancee as they chatted heartily about school, life, and anything else. Ezekiel arrived soon and Sebastian assisted him in getting the luggage into the trunk.Aurora and Sebastian's wedding was a week away so the atmospher

    Ezekiel knew that there was a Supreme Being helping him to restrain himself because it was a miracle he didn't lose control after what she just said. Was she so oblivious that men were easily triggered sexually or was she doing it on purpose? She worked at a bar, she had to know."Your body belongs to you," he said slowly, blowing out a breath, "and to the God who made you. If we are married, you can say that but your body will belong to me and mine will belong to you only because we chose to let it be so. Do you understand?"She clicked her tongue, laying her head on his chest. "Let's get married then, you won't have any excuse to deny me what I want.""Oh heavens," he laughed in disbelief but somewhere deep within him, he began to consider it.*Weeks flew by and Isabel didn't think she had ever lived life so happily before. She woke up happy and blushing, she was much more interested in her boring classes because he always praised her when she performed well in the tutoring session

    When she awoke bright early the next morning, he was still asleep and she was late for class. She stood at the entrance to his hospital room at a loss for what to do. She could rush to class and return after school to take care of him or she could stay and be with him throughout the day. She wanted to do the latter as she was the cause of his accident but on further reflection, she decided to choose the former, he'd prefer that.Ezekiel trudged into his apartment, burdened with a load of emotions. Drugs, really?"Stan found me, he sent me threat notes and has been stalking us."Was that true? He sighed, lowering himself unto a fur-covered couch. He didn't even know what to believe. What was her deal? Was it just the aftermath of the rape incident? It scared him that she would go as far as drugging him, how much damage did the incident cause her?If Stan was secretly stalking them then she wasn't safe. The police needed to be alerted and they needed to move away from town for some time

    "Are you mad at me?"Isabel said nothing instead she focused on stabbing the potatoes on her plate."Have I ever refused you anything?"She blinked, thinking of an answer to his question though she didn't plan to reply, she discovered he always did what she asked and did more except for a few nos here and there but... He was always there."No," she answered curtly, guilt nagging at her. "Then you must know I have a very good reason for refusing you this one thing. Trust me, Isabel, please."She stared at her meal, fighting with her emotions. She thought of the drugged wine."Ezekiel," she began, looking up. Her eyes widened in horror seeing him bring down his glass from his lips."What?" He questioned, cleaning his mouth with a serviette.She opened her mouth and shut it. "I drugged your wine," she croaked out."What?" His eyes bulged out and he looked into his glass, "what are you talking about?"She kept silent, staring at him with wide eyes. He stared at her, his eye size matching

    She was awfully alert the next day, constantly looking back and sideways, being suspicious of every male she came across, staying in open places where there were a lot of people. She didn't realize she was so on edge and tensed up until Ezekiel came to her at the cafe and she almost stabbed him with a fork.He dodged, his eyes wide. "Watsup!? Do you want to kill me!?"She sighed, her tense shoulders falling. The fork landed with a clattering sound on the table."I am sorry. I was... I thought it was someone else," she said apologetically.He raised a brow, sitting next to her, "is someone stalking you?""Don't worry about it," she sighed again and relaxed back in her seat. His presence was immensely comforting. She didn't know whether to be pleased or irritated, he was her boyfriend now."You could really have stabbed me if I didn't have quick reflexes. You wanted to harm the person. Why? What's going on?" He inquired.She kept silent. Why was she keeping it a secret?"Isabel..."She

    "You're my girlfriend now," he murmured into her hair, "so you can't cheat on me ever again, you hear? You can't go kissing another man or letting another man touch you because you feel like getting down with someone. You are mine now and I'll tell you, I am very possessive and I get easily jealous."She blinked. What did she just do?"You forgot the second part," she mumbled, not sure of what she was feeling."No, it isn't enough to make me sleep with you."She groaned, surprisingly not feeling annoyed. "Why?" She whined."It only makes me want to protect you more, keep you clean and pure. I'll be your god and I'll keep you away from any filth," he replied.She fought the smile that crawled its way up her cheek. He pulled away a little and looked at her with so much tenderness, she felt she could melt from it."Do you still feel like getting down with me?" He asked, smiling.She shook her head."Good," he grinned, "I'll call your father now and tell him you're safe with me. I'll call
