Chapter 48: Could have been my son
Last Updated:
2022-12-06 07:00:00Sebastian was long gone, drowned in the depths of his hidden hunger for her blood. It was her blood, right from the very first, the very first moment he smelt that dark red liquid, the very first moment he yearned to taste it; it was hers.
She was right. He fed on all sorts of blood but he was never satisfied and he had to fight the desire, the yearning for what he truly craved because it was far out of his reach. He would never do that to her.
But at that moment, unaware that she was no longer conscious, he did hurt her. Mouthfuls after mouthfuls of blood and he still wanted more, until there was no more to drink. His blood crazed brain slowly returned back to its senses and he retracted his fangs.
His eyes, now glowing a golden yellow, gazed at his victim until it widened in horror.
"Aurora!" He shook her wildly. His hands stilled, his eyes running over her body. Her skin was terribly pale, drained of color… and blood.
"Oh no…" he b

"Do you not think that you are going too far?"Justus glanced at Julian on his way to his father's study."I could have killed you," Justus said, revealing the knife he held in his hand, "it's best not to startle me."Julian followed his younger brother into the study."Handing Aurora to the unknown? That's excessive," Julian folded his arms, a displeased look on his face."And who are you to question me, Julian?" Justus spoke, staring smugly at him from his seat at the table.Julian's jaw ticked."You may be the emperor but I am still your…""Older brother, I know, I know," Justus mocked, "but you should know that I despise older brothers. I think Sebastian is a worthy example."Their gazes held, intense and challenging."Get out," Justus ordered, looking away."You will regret this, I promise you," Julian swore and marched out of the study.Livia tiptoed past the guards on duty at the dungeon entrance and sneaked in. She had nothing on her and she wondered why she was making such a

Both their eyes bulged out, centimeters from each other. "Tighten the security in the dungeon. You may leave." Julian placed a hand over Livia's trembling mouth, pressing his lips over her covered mouth. Her eyes were watery and she seemed about to collapse any second. He held her gaze, strengthening her weak ones with his hard ones. Justus made to continue his journey but halted, the closet on his right drawing his attention. Julian swallowed. Justus' eyes narrowed and he took a step closer… and another… and another. Livia's eyes were wide and she was trembling excessively. Julian's hand found it's way to his sword sheath and he tensely waited. Justus stared at the closet, shook his head with a smile then walked away. Only after several moments did the two sinners in the closet relax. "Oh merciful Zeus, oh merciful Zeus, what if he scented us, what if he knows we were here, what if he…" Julian kissed her, long and hard until she was too breathless to speak. She gaped at him,

Julian paced about his room, hands folded behind his back. He hoped Livia was okay. He wasn't sure if Justus knew but he sure suspected them.He blew out a breath. He itched to see her but it would only raise more suspicions, he had to stay away from her. He shook his head. Perhaps a walk in the garden would clear his clouded mind.He turned around and staggered back in shock, coming face to face with his brother."Sebastian," he mumbled, rubbing a hand over his eyes."Go to the lady Livia's quarters at once. She needs you."His eyes narrowed."What… why?""Now," Sebastian ordered and vanished. Julian trembled, stumbled back then rushed out of his chamber."Oh merciful Zeus," Julian exclaimed in horror, seeing Livia lying a mess on the floor."What happened?" He asked, kneeling at her side."He… he forced himself on me," she muttered, her gaze cast away from him.Julian's entire body trembled in fury. He clenched and unclenched his fist, his breathing coming out in pants."Get up," he

Sabastian walked through the hallways and corridors, invisible to the human eye. They were out of the west wing and walking towards the large palace door which had guards around it.He had to keep his focus on both the task at hand and watching the dungeon. If he was disturbed in his physical state, it would affect his non-physical state and he had two souls to protect.The door… it was shut. There was no way he was going to pull it open without attracting attention. He stopped right in front of the door, Livia breathing tensely behind him. He looked into a guard's eye, controlling his mind. The guard dropped his weapon and pulled open the large doors."Festus?" Another guard called in suspicion while the rest looked around, pointing weapons.Sebastian walked through."Festus!" A guard slapped him back to consciousness.Sebastian quickened his pace, crossing the palace grounds. It was all magic, the palace and its grounds were protect

Aurora sat up, squinting her eyes to reduce the effect of the rays of the sun. She was in a tent, a well furnished one with its door open.The last thing she remembered was offering her blood to Sebastian and then him losing control.She rubbed the back of her neck. She felt tired, like she just woke up from a very long sleep. She looked down at herself, noticing the new clothes and how clean and fresh she looked and felt.Sebastian… where was he?She got out of the tent, the wind blowing her hair and gown all around."Bastian?" She called, going around the tent. The sound of running water drew her attention and she followed it, walking down the cleared out path. The leaves were falling, the cold would be here soon.She found him at the stream, filling two water satchels. He paused, catching her scent.She walked closer while he stood, turning around to face her. Why did she feel nervous?His cheeks tugged up and s

8 months later… The loud wails of a child filled the dungeon cell. "It's a girl!" The midwife announced cheerfully. Julian received his child with tears. Livia sat up weakly. "She looks just like you," Julian smiled, placing the child in her arms. The midwife smiled at them and walked out. "Tell the queen it's a girl child, she need not bother about killing the poor child," she whispered to a guard. The guard marched off. "Oh, it's enough," she cooed, entering back into the cell with a false smile, "let's have the mother and child cleaned up." Julian paced about the well furnished Brevian royal room. He felt out of place in the sparkly clean room with his dirty clothes and body. He wondered why the queen suddenly requested for them to be moved out of the dungeon. Livia was brought into the room. She was in tears. "Where is our child?" He queried the guard who brought her in, taking her into his arms. The guard fixed him with a hard glare and went back out, locking them in. "

"Why does she lie so still?" Livia queried anxiously."The unknown knows she is the only one that can stop her," Sebastian answered with a sigh. He was sitted on the floor, cradling Aurora in his arms."And so she did something to make her incapable of stopping her," Julian continued, "she put her to sleep."Livia shut her eyes with a frustrated groan. She joined Sebastian on the floor, rocking her baby gently. The baby was wrapped in swaddling clothes and she lay silent, blinking at her mother with bewildered eyes."Oh baby," Livia cooed, kissing her gently."You must be able to do something, can't you?" Julian beckoned, squatting beside his wife, "the Brevians will capture our city any moment and bless our souls, only Zeus knows what fate awaits us.""Then you should never have foolishly divulged our secrets," Sebastian snapped."What did you want me to do?" Julian cried in defense, "she would have killed our child!""You should have dallied until we showed up. Surely, you know how

Aurora looked around, stared at her husband then looked down at the cause of her pain.She scrambled up, Sebastian following."What are you…" he queried, watching her every move.Aurora sneezed, pushing hair off her face."We have to get out of here and save our city, our empire," she spoke, her words stumbling on each other. She shook her head and concentrated her mind on the cage surrounding them while they watched but hard as she tried, the cage wouldn't obey her."It isn't listening to me," she spoke, opening her eyes and looking back at them.Sebastian stepped forward."How's that possible?" He asked."Some things are not meant to be."The sweet musical voice had Aurora gasping in surprise. Her eyes darted around but she was no where to be found, the moon goddess."That's not the unknown," Julian whispered, pulling Livia close."Aurora," the moon goddess sighed, "I shall not say that I regret blessing you with so powerful a gift but perhaps, I could have done things in a differen

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
The Vampire King Chapter 133: Aurora and Sebastian
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
