2022-12-09 07:03:00Aurora 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

"Guess what?" Aurora beamed at Cynthia the next morning."I know," Cynthia smiled sadly, "today is the last day of school before the Christmas break. You don't need to rub it in."They were in the cafeteria, at a table right in the middle of the large noisy room."No," Aurora lowered her voice to a whisper, "I met a handsome guy yesterday, at the museum."Cynthia gasped in excitement."Oh my gosh, Rora, you finally have a crush," she squealed."Who has a crush?" Daniel slid into the seat next to Aurora.Aurora rolled her eyes, brushing off the hand he placed around her shoulder."Aurora does," Cynthia answered smugly, "so now you can back off."Daniel frowned. He leaned on the table, his gaze fixed on Aurora."Who is it?""None of your business," she spoke and stuffed her mouth full with fries."It is," Daniel said in exasperation, "I like you, you know that. I've liked you for a long time and you pr

Sebastian was surprised that his new friend stayed quiet for the next one hour they spent reading his comic book together. She didn't mind that he was already way into the book."Okay, that is funny," she chuckled, "how can one punch do all that?"Somehow, during all that time, her head had somehow found its way to his shoulder with her arm as a pillow."In the world of comics and Anime? Yes, one punch can do all that," he answered, checking his wristwatch."I have to go now," he said to her, shutting the book."Oh," she gave him a bit of space. She suddenly seemed shy."Water?" He offered after taking a drink. She accepted it and drained his bottle of water."Okay," he chuckled, putting the bottle back into his back. He rose, she did too."I'll see you tomorrow," he said and turned away. She suddenly jumped in front of him and tossed herself into his arms.Startled, he staggered back, forced to clutch her lean frame."What are you doing?" He sighed, hugging her back."I suddenly miss

Twenty minutes later, she found herself peeping at him through the bookshelf. He was reading the comic book. She longed to sit next to him again and put her head on his shoulder."What is stopping me then?" She mumbled and got up.Sebastian looked up, feeling someone hover over him.Aurora."Are you mad at me?" She asked quietly, looking so innocent and hurt, he felt guilty for a split second."No," he answered, "I don't get mad at strangers."She looked even more hurt."Okay then," she suddenly smiled, a fake one and sat next to him, "we are going to change that.""I want to read alone," he insisted."I want to read with you," she said blankly.He made to get up but she held his jacket. He sighed."What do you want?" He asked her with a stern gaze. "To be your friend," she answered simply."I do not want to be your friend," he retorted."You are lying," she rolled her eyes. She shifted closer and laid her head against his shoulder like the last time with her arm as a head rest."Rai

"Wait, they became farmers," Aurora laughed, flipping the page.She gasped, reading the next line."Empress Aurora got pregnant?"*It was night and it was full moon. In the little cottage they shared with Julian and Livia, they could hear the faraway howls of wolves."Perhaps there are still more werewolves out there," Aurora said to her husband as they stepped out."I think so too," he smiled down at her.It was over a year since the moon goddess stripped them of their powers. It was a blessing, mostly, because the peace and tranquility they enjoyed at the moment, they knew they would never have had it possessing powers.She still feared the unknown finding them. Not just because they were powerless and would not be able to stop her but because of the little human growing in her belly."Bastian," she called when they got to the stream. The waters glimmered in the moon light and the chirping of the night birds added a mystical feel to the night."You sound worried," he turned to her

She came in late the next day and she found him pacing about his little spot."Hey," she greeted, getting his attention. He came to her."Hey, I'm sorry about yesterday. I… I… it's complicated and I…""Then don't worry about it," she smiled, "a little bit of mystery only makes you more attractive."She patted his cheek and sat down. She looked up to find him blushing."Oh no," she laughed, "he has fallen for me finally.""Shut up," he snapped, using his palms to cover his cheek."Don't be shy," she spread her arms, winking at him, "we both know I liked you first. It's not a big deal, it'll pass soon.""Right," he eyed her and sat next to her, "I'll hold that as consolation. A few days at most and I'll be free from this evil."She gasped, "I'm hurt."Then she squealed, "he likes me back!"His hand shot out to cover her mouth."Shhhh, don't be so loud.""Why?" She wiggled he

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
