This is the fourth time I'm running away, but who cares?I'm going to run as far as my legs can take. I won't rest until I either kill the man who wiped my entire clan or I escape his clutches. This time, I wasn't stupid enough to run out through the front door. It took me days to devise a means of escort that won't get me caught by the same man who has caught me over and over. It always ended the same way, with me tied to the pillar, and the beast having his way with me. There were things so odd about my enemy that makes me furrow my brows. Not only was he fast, but his unnatural obsession with my neck and blood, made me deduce he might be crazier than I thought.A man who could wipe an entire village out without a tangible reason isn't as sane as he might make others believe. I ran into the bathroom and glanced out the window, to make certain there were no guards around. Though I've not seen a guard around here since I discovered the window, it doesn't help to be thoroughly s
I crawled towards the gate, careful not to make a sound. The couples were busy with it that they didn't hear me at all. I crawled until I reached the gate. Luckily, it contains a space next to it that can enter a rabbit. Pfft. I covered my mouth to prevent the laughter from breaking out. Guess I'm going to be the next rabbit that hole will see. I crawled through the tight hole, praying not to be caught by the stupid guard and his equally stupid girlfriend.Luckily, they didn't notice me until I was already halfway through. “Who's there?” I heard a call. For a moment, I stayed frozen in my spot, thinking I'd been caught. Only my hands were out on the other side. My legs were still in the compound, and could be seen by any who flashes a light towards the gates. “I'm the one.” The guard by the gate replied. His voice was muffled, and he seemed to have been caught right in the acts.When I realized I wasn't the one that was spoken to, I hastened my escape. I crawled through the
Who knew that being a leader can be so liberating? It was so much better than when I was under the town leader. Though I missed them, I can't deny that it was good to have people at your beck and call all the time of the day. I sat on my chair and watched the men go about their work.After I killed the leader of the dark clays, I became their header, and I changed the name to Dark Stars. Though the name didn't please the men who were proud of their old names, none of them tried to challenge me when I changed the names.I'm their leader, no one challenges me. “Mistress.” One of the men came over to the tree I was sitting under. He bowed to me, and placed both hands in front of him, like a plea. It took a lot of getting used to before I finally learned most of the ways of the group. They were unlike the village I came from, and the place I escaped from. “What's wrong?” I crossed my right leg over my left, and placed a hand under my chin, with my entire focus on him. “The trees
“Mistress!” One of the men knocked on my door, waking me up from a much-needed sleep.It wasn't every night that I had the pleasure of sleeping as I did just now. “What is it?” I hastily rose from my bed and started getting dressed.It has become a habit of mine, to always be ready, irrespective of the reason and time.“The blood drainers are almost upon us.” His words caused me to freeze.“What did you just say?” “The blood drainers are almost upon us.” He repeated. “Though they are far off, we need—” “Wake the others! Get out weapons ready!” I instructed him. “I will meet you out there!” “Yes, mistress.” The man left, and I heard him calling the others. “He's here.” My heart seemed to lurch out of my chest at the thoughts of the man who wiped my clan.Though I know I will one day meet him in battle, I never counted on it being this near.I thought I had more time to train my men before we faced them off in battle, but it seemed he found me first. The sounds of my men getting
Despite the strong hold he had on me, I tried to fight him off, but it was impossible."Let me go!" I tried to fight his hold off me, but it was too strong. It was as if I'm a child trying to fight off the father. "I'm sorry, human, but I can't let you go. Leaving you isn't an option, so you will endure going with me.""I'm not going anywhere! Let me go!" He carried me up despite my thrashing. It was as if I weigh nothing. And that seemed to piss me off some more. I was being held suspended above the ground, and I kicked furiously.I know I won't be able to get him to release me, but I have to try to get him to leave me.If I can get him to let me go, then I can show him I'm capable of fighting off any man that tried to hurt me. If I can lead a group of wild men, then I can fight him off. My heel struck something behind me; there was a hard grunt from above my head before strong hands gripped my ankles and held them together, immobilizing me."It will be better if you don't fight
That heartless bastard didn't return that night despite how many times I called him. He turned a deaf ear to my calls. It was as if he wanted to punish me for running away.I slept off in the early hours of the morning, and only managed to get a few hours of sleep before I was woken up. "Good morning," smiling to himself, he came into the room. The smug expression on his face made me ache to slap him, to get him to know that I wasn't joking at all. "Let me go." I tug on the ropes that were holding me captive. "You can't keep me here just because you want to. Let me go!" I tugged on the ropes despite how tired I was. My hands felt sore and heavy. And that was what prevented me from tugging on it as much as I would have loved to.If only I have that strength, I would have shown him what I'm capable of. "You are dirty," He smirked, ignoring my words. "Have you thought of having a bath?" he pursed his lips, looking so damned pleased with himself. "Let me go, and we will talk of tha
I lost count of the days I stayed here. Most times, it seemed as if I'd only stayed here for two days, and other times, it feels like I'd stayed here for a month. The room he took me to had no light. The windows were barred, and the curtains were drawn. Aside from the maids who occasionally come in to feed and help me bathe, I've not seen any other person.Well, that's when you exclude that beast of a man. My back aches and my legs feel so sore, I can't feel it any more. But that beast won't hear!He's always going at it like an animal. And that made me wonder if he was sex deprived. He acts as if he has never been allowed an intimate moment before.“I hate him.” I gritted out in anger as I splashed the water, not paying attention to the maid behind me. “If only I had an axe, I will plunge it so deep into his chest that he won't be able to reincarnate.”I said those words out loud, so the maid can hear them, and relay to the beast, what I said. This was precisely what I said last
“What's it?” He arched a brow. “Are you finally going to ask about your men? You are no longer afraid to know what their fate became?” He smirked. I narrowed my eyes at him. “Tell me, who killed my parents? Who was the one that wiped out my entire village?”“Didn't you claim that I was the one?” He furrowed his brows. “Don't tell me you have changed your mind?”“Answer me. Who was the one that did it? Were you the one?”He sat up on the bed and faced me. “Do you want me to be the one?”“I just want the answer. Were you the one who wiped my village?”“No.” He sighed. “I wasn't the one who did that. But if you are looking for someone to blame, you can blame me. After all, I didn't do anything to those men back then.”I clenched my fists. “Who are they? The men who wiped my entire village, what is their group's name?”“The night bird.” He answered without missing a beat. “That night, I didn't come to your village. I came for. The night bird. However, before we reached them, they were a
I knelt between his open legs and took him with my hands before I swiped my tongue on the tip.He gasped and would have almost buckled from the bed had it not been for my position. His hips thrust forward as he groaned. I looked up to capture the moment and the expression he had on his face. His groans, and the low hum he made, spurred me faster.I found myself smiling, sitting between his legs with my heart beating fast and loud, so loud he probably could hear it too.I grabbed his thighs which were still shaking as I tried to find an anchor in a flood of lust.The way his body tensed up made me feel so good.Who knew, the bold fearless Rain could groan and hum so low, that all I wanted was to sit between his legs forever and suck him off. With those occasional thrusts upwards, which caught me surprised and made me moan too.I couldn't resist looking up to see how his face looked in all the bliss of lust, and it gave me the confidence to believe, I was good at this.He leaned toward
“I guess I'll have to take over.” He flipped us unexpectedly and had me under him. “I must please you, and not the other way around.” I bit my lower lip as I watched him. He lowered his mouth to mine, and I opened up thinking he was about to kiss me, but he proved me wrong when he changed course to my neck.He lightly nibbled on my neck before he broke the skin. My blood sipped from the wound on my neck and gushed into his mouth. He sucked on my neck. I moaned at the sensation. Fuck. I felt electrified at the same time as I felt cold.“Moon,” I moaned as when felt his hard, erect cock poking on my leg.I reached out and wrapped my hand around the back of his head as I held him closer to my neck.He trailed his lips and tongue up my jaw until he kissed me again. His kisses were far more eager than before, but not as hurried and fast-paced as I wanted.I let go of my hold on his nape and trailed my hand down his exposed chest. I pressed my hand down on his chest as I pushed him d
Things went well after that. Moon reunited with his family.His mother had three kids after him, and they were lovely to their elder brother. Though the girls have never met him before, they treat him like family. Things have been good for us. Moon and I are expecting a baby. Well, I discovered I was pregnant a week ago. Now, I have a crazy soon-to-be father who dotes on me like I'm a doll and an equally crazy Jol who will be the best uncle of the century. The princess never ceases to fight over who gets to name the baby first. “Can I take my wife? I have something to speak to her about.” Moon wrapped his hands around me. The princesses I was having a walk with, giggled. “You can have her. Let's go!” The eldest raced down the hall and the others followed her, giggling as they abandoned me. “Let's go, wife,” Moon whispered into my ears before he carried me up. “Let me go! I can walk, you know?” I tried to get him to put me down, but it was futile. Moon carried me into our ro
There was no sign of anyone in the streets. And when I nosily asked, I was told that it was because of the yearly mourning. Every year the entire Kingdom comes together to moan the death of their first prince who would have been the heir to the throne. Moon didn't say a word as he continued following the man. He tightly held my hand in his as if he were afraid of letting go. Jol took the rear. He occasionally glanced around, vigilantly making sure there wasn't any danger lurking around us. We were practically strangers in a mysterious kingdom. We are yet to know where we were, and the people with us. Keeping our guard down will be the worst mistake, ever.We reached the castle, which was at the farthest part of the kingdom. The castle seemed a bit secluded from the entire world. The large trees around made it seem as if the castle was in the middle of a forest, and not a village. “This was where I was taken,” Moon murmured as he pointed towards the clusters of trees on the lef
We stood in front of the large gates. Moon glanced at me, and I nodded. He took a deep, steady breath before he knocked on the gates.It took us half a day to locate this Kingdom. The mist beneath the hills made it a bit difficult for us to find the way. However, Moon was able to get it. None of us can tell how he knew the shortcut to the Kingdom, but we all believed it was fate. Moon knocked on the gates once more and stood back. “Are you certain there are people in there?” Jol frowned. “Maybe, this is a ghost town?” “Are you afraid of ghosts?” I scoffed at the stupid vampire.“I'm a vampire. Of course, I'm afraid of ghosts. Who won't be?” Jol glanced around the place. “My captors back then scared me with tales of ghosts. They made me hate the dark, not knowing I was part of the dark.” Jol sighed. "Back then, I thought I was a human, and those men were what I tagged 'monsters.” He chuckled. “Who would have thought I was the monster among us?” He folded his arms and glanced up.
Moon decided to check out the kingdom I told him about. I doubt I've ever seen him as happy as he was when I told him about the kingdom the villagers spoke of.“That's my Kingdom.” He looked so certain that it made me roll my eyes at him. “We will leave tomorrow morning.” I leaned on the trunk of the tree. “It has been a long night, I need to rest my bones.” I yawned.“I apologize for not getting to you faster than I would have.” Moon looked apologetic. “Before I realized you were missing, it was too late.”“You don't have to apologize. I know you were having a brawl with Jol like you always do.” I rolled my eyes.“A brawl? It was a full-blown fight! And before you ask, he was the one who started the arguments. Moon only knows how to fight and not how to win an argument. That was why he beat me up!” Jol fumed. I chuckled. “I know.” Though Jol ordinarily tries to egg Moon on, I was aware that Moon was the cause of half of the fights they had on their way. “It was what made this tri
I slowly opened my eyes. It hasn't been that long since I was attacked. And I knew that based on the position of the moon in the sky. Moon!I sat up. My back hurts, and it seemed a headache was on its way.I glanced around the place, only to discover that I was in a sort of Hut.It was the type that was built in forests by bandits. Though we have only come across this type of hut once since we left the safe house behind, there was no mistaking it. I tried to rise from the ground, only to discover that my hands had been tied. Hmm.These stupid bandits don't know who their mistress is. I shuffled to the side of the hunt. Though it was a bit dark in here, I was able to make out some things in the dark. And that included getting to know where the strong ropes binding the hut were.I turned my back to the hut and used the rope to lose the ones binding me. The ropes holding my hands captive were strong, but not strong enough to cut my hands. It took me a long time to lose the knot.
It was a heart-wrenching sight, to see the old queen shed tears. Her face was puffy and her eyes red. She looked so sad that I was tempted to ask Moon if we could stay back. The old king stood next to her. He robbed soothing circles on her back as he tried to console his grieving wife. “You don't have to leave, Nephew. If there is anything you want that isn't here, I will have the best of my soldiers get it for you. For as long as I live, we will treat you like the family you are.” Prince Dark, who brought us to the palace, tried to talk us out of leaving. But I know it was futile.Moon had made up his mind about it. There will be no changing it. “Should we not find what we seek, we will surely return?” Moon forced a smile. “But for now, I wish to go out there to seek my mother. May the gods protect us all. Gods willing, I will be back.” The prince nodded. He walked over to me and took my hands in his. “Take care of my nephew. Should there be a cause for an emergency, we are alw
Moon froze at the mention of the name. He fully turned towards the man. “How did you know that name?” He growled in a tone I've not heard him use before. It sounded like he was angry and afraid, which was never something I will attribute to someone like Moon. And that made me wonder who they were speaking of.“Are you her son?” The man closed the distance between them and tried to place his palm on Moon's cheeks, but Moon held him tight. “How did you know my mother's name? Who are you?” Moon growled.I gasped at his words. Though it has been a long time since Moon told me about his mother, I can still recall the name he told me. “She's my sister.” The man answered with a look of awe on his face. “Who would have thought I will meet the little guy once more.”Moon's grip on the man loosened. He let go of the man's hand. “Do you know where my mother is?” Moon asked in a small voice. He looked desperate to know the answer. The man clapped Moon on the back. “We need to discuss this
