Chapter 48: Could have been my son
Sebastian 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
The Vampire King Chapter 53: New life, old visitors
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
