Nina opened her eyes to darkness.She drew in a deep breath before she slowly opened her eyes.She was in a room lit with candles all over.What happened and how did she get here? Had she lost consciousness immediately Damon marked her? At the thought of this,she jerked up and looked around for a mirror.A big sized one stood at the far corner of the room.She ran to it,placing her hair behind her.Behold there was a fresh curved mark resting on her neck.Nina tried to recollect what happened but she couldn't no matter how hard she tried.All she remembered was Blake apologizing and then after that everything went blank.Where is Blake? She looked towards the door.Perhaps he'd brought her here.Nina was about to open the door and go out,however,"Where do you think you're going?"Nina's heart skipped a bit.She turned to find Aiden sitting in the most darkest part of the room with a glass of wine in his hand."Why are you here with me?" Nina retortedAiden dropped his glass and stepped out
She couldn't get her mind off it.How could fate repeat itself?! How could she marry a vampire...one who is against her race.And most of all one who can never love her.If it had only being a plain marriage they'd done,it would be easier to break,but this? This mark cannot be removed,it can only fade and once it does it would have to be renewed again.She touched the mark on her neck.It still hurts a bit.Blake was right! She squeezed the sheets.She should have gone back home when he advised her to! That is better than this.Still Nina wondered how Aiden ended up marking her.Wasn't it supposed to be Damon? How did this goddamn shit happen?!!Wait.She stared at the door.What is she waiting for? She could leave this place,find Blake and return to her kingdom.She walked to the door and pulled it but it didnt bulge."What? Is he playing tricks on me?! Did he just lock me in her?!!" she yelled at the door.Not relenting,she looked for something that could break down the door.She'd show him s
Nicolina waited half the night for the man who went on a killing spree.She doesn't feel so safe enough to sleep all by herself in this creepy place.Her ability of keen hearing from a distance made her hear footsteps approaching.Guessing he could be the one she jumped on the bed and pretended to be asleep.Few seconds later the footsteps had died down but he wasnt in the room.Nina wondered why he was wasting energy when he could just use his superspeed or fly to get here quickly.Immediately,the door pulled open.He stepped in.The first thing he saw was Nina.He was hurting deeply and she was fast asleep.It wasn't her fault anyway.If this didnt happen,he would never know that Kiyiya was deceiving him all along.Fresh anger rose from within and he began scattering and throwing things around.Nina tried her best not to move even when a piece of the broken mirror scratched her arm.When he was satisfied he left the room,banging it behind him.Nina sat up.The room was in a mess.Making sure he
Nina was surprised to find a bandage on her arm and a duvet on her.She looked around but found no one in the room.She sighed immediately she remembered.Walking towards the door she prayed it wasn't locked.She stepped out of the room and headed left.She had no idea where she was going.She could only imagine how big this house is and to think only a person lives here.The house looked scary and fear gripped her for a moment.Did he leave her here all by herself? The house was so quiet and she couldn't even hear a single thing.Scared to her bones she made sure not to make a sound.She walked on tiptoes.When she got to a dead end there was only a door standing before her.It was different from the other doors.Nina stretched her hands to open it.However,"What are you doing?""Ahh!!" Nina nearly jumped out of her skin.Staring at the handsome man before her,who'd have thought he was a demon the day before."I..I.." Nina stammered"I told you we'd be going to the palace today.Why havent you
Two guards came up to them,they motioned for Aiden and Nina to come along with them.Everyone glared at them except for the ladies who ogled Aiden and wished they were in Nina's place.They were moving through a small pathway when Aiden suddenly stopped,his eyes moving sideways as if realizing something.Nina wondered what was wrong.The guards had a horrid look on their faces.Before Nina could realize what was happening,Aiden had pulled her to his chest.She crashed into him and immediately a large rock that was supposed to fall on her fell to the ground.An angry Aiden turned to the grief-stricken guards,they knew this was their end.He rushed to them...his claws already out in the open,he grabbed them and ripped their throats out at the same time.Nina shut her eyes,breathing heavily.She just arrived and they were already trying to kill her.Aiden came and stood in front of her.He carried her on his arms and flew to the last floor of the mansion.He placed her down and Nina saw that th
"Wow,Aiden,wow.You have really proved to us that you're no longer a part of us." The King said"I was never a part of you.After all I am a half werewolf and a half vampire so truth is y'all never accepted me in the first place and I am glad I do not belong to traitors like you!"Nina walked up to him,holding his arms she whispered."Let's get going,Aiden.That's enough."But it seemed like he didnt even hear her."Aiden,you-" Kiyiya began but before she could finish,Aiden was in front of her,he grabbed her chin."Shut your trap.Do not think because i let you go after toying with me I cannot harm you.Trust me,your death will be excruciating." he spoke quicklyDamon rushed towards them in the same speed and pushed Aiden away.A shocked Kiyiya had thought Aiden was going to kill her right away."C'mon buddy" Aiden spoke "I'm not that bad.I cannot give your wife such an easy way to hell.""You stoop so low as to threatening her just because she refused you?" Damon replied"Pft.I really pity
Immediately Nina went out of the room,Aiden unleashed his anger on the furnitures in the room.When he was done almost all it were destroyed.He called one of the maids to clean it up but they showed him to another room because the room was beyond repair.Aiden sat down for a while.He grabbed a Scotch drink and poured into a cup.It eased the heat inside him and this was when he realized that he had pushed Nina into the den of vampires.He got up immediately,the glass dropping to the floor.He went out of the room in search of her but where would he start from in this large mansion?* * *Nina was outside the mansion but still within reach.She kept walking towards that familiar someone who was on a phone call with his back turned to her.He ended the call before Nina got there.She placed her hand on his shoulders and turned him to her."Blake?!" Nina was both surprised and shocked to see him here.Worst still,the vampires were even walking past him freely without harming him.What the fuck
She switched off her mind link.She couldn't bear those horrible thoughts in her head.Now obvious of her surroundings,Nina realized that she cannot remember the room she left Aiden in.She only remembered that she was on a verandah when she came down in search of Blake.That she means she was upstairs.Nina took the stairs ignoring every eyes on her.However when she got to the top of the stairs a hand reached out and grabbed her arm.Before Nina could understand what is happening,the hand pulled her in and locked the door.* * * Aiden had ransacked every place he thought Nina must have gone but she wasn't in any of them."Shit!" he exclaimed as he ran his hands through his hair "Where did that little werewolf go?" he wondered.Aiden jumped down from the last floor.Thinking Nina must be somewhere outside the mansion he went in search of her.Few minutes later he began to panic.Still thinking of possible places he hasn't looked the fountain side popped up in his mind.He sped there immedia
New Year's night was great.The most wonderful thing ever.Aiden was coronated King and Damon,the right hand man.Nina automatically became Queen and she chose Kiyiya as her assistant.The greatest thing that would ever happen in the whole land.Nina couldn't at the same time, govern her city and stay with her husband here in Kingdom Fye.So she fulfilled destiny by bringing the two opposite worlds together.She destroyed the hatred and enmity and in place created room for love and unity.Everyone lived in harmony and it was just what she wanted.She was most grateful to her father.He was the first one to believe in her.And at a time she hadn't yet realized her powers.She wished there was a way for her to transport both from the underworld to the real world but Alicia said it was no longer possible.For she could only choose one to stay in forever.And she had chosen here.Kingdom Relf.She changed the name into a unitary and combination of the last two letters of Vampire and Werewolf.
Kiyiya gasped loudly,she glared at him."Let go off me!"He held her still against the wall."Why Kiyiya?" he groaned from within "Why did you hide it from me!" he thundered"Please, Damon.." she looked away,tears filling her eyes "I..I don't want to talk about this!""You will have to! How long will you continue to run?? How did you expect me to make amends if I do not know why you want to end things between us!""I don't want you to make amends!" Kiyiya shouted back "Don't bother! Because I am tired..I can't..I can't do this anymore!" He went quiet for a while."What more can I offer you?! All my life with you has been all lies! I was deceitful! A traitor! After all these,do you still expect me to face you,look you in the eye and pretend all is well?""No" she answered her own rhetorical question.She gazed at him."You've done more than enough for me,Damon" she began "But I never deserved a man like you and I'm not ashamed to admit it""So please.. let's end things before the new
A week later.It was the new year.A week ago after the victory of Nicolina and the beginning of her era,everyone had great plans for the preparations of the new year.They wanted it all in one because it was indeed a new year.It signified the end of the tyrant and the commencement of new friendships.The palace was re-constructed beautifully and by Nina's will did enmity between neighbouring kingdoms, ended.In fact she had summoned for all under Kingdom Fye to attend the upcoming ceremony.Kiyiya and Raven had chosen to go over to the farther lands to inform them of the New Year Festival and to invite them to the palace.Considering how far the journey is it wasn't until a week later did they return and Kiyiya did this on purpose.She didn't want to cross path with Damon.Although she was hurting terribly for having to stay away from him but she couldn't bring herself to look at him and love him the same again.She didn't want a relationship where there'd be compromises,even though s
He threw his arms around her without the slightest caution and pulled her into his embrace fiercely.Their skin contact created a warm spark that ushered into their hearts floods of love.It was like the eruption of a volcano.It took seconds before Nina wrapped her hands around his neck.Even though her love for him that was sleeping in the crevice of her heart had awoken by the touch of his hands,she still remained adamant about her decision.She maintained that it was because she loves him.So therefore,she was willing to let him go...to the person he truly loves.He withdrew,holding her face in his palms and rested their foreheads together"I feel so blessed to have you" he whispered."How..how did you manage to get back?" he asked with his hands all over her,gazing at her wounds that were slowly healing.Nicolina smiled."You're looking at the Keeper of the Underworld" It took few seconds for him to understand and when he did,he couldn't help but smile at the warrior she has now
Alicia went between them and seperated them."This isn't the time to fight!" she sniffed "Raven just died,we have no idea where Mateo is and all you can do is fight??!""Fight??" Aiden chuckled "Trust me,when all this is over I will make his life miserable!""Aiden!" Alicia shot a look at him "When did you become this way?!""Since when everything was taken away from me"Kiyiya was all quiet however the moment she saw Damon running towards them she immediately opened her mouth to speak."I think I should go to the palace and..and-" she didn't think of the lie yet when he came and interrupted."Mateo has taken the vault!" he announced."No..he mustn't release it yet!" screamed Alicia as she immediately began to run towards the palace.The rest followed after her.Mateo,on seeing them,created a force field to stop them from coming closerAlicia banged on it."Don't do it,Mateo!! The Keeper will kill us all!!" she screamed.He grinned and then broke the vault into two "Nooo!!" Kiyiya sc
A thin line of blood crept down her lips.He withdrew the sword from her,making more blood to gush out.Raven fell on her knees,her sword dropping from her hand."Goodbye,Princess" Mateo grinned as he raised his sword to cut off her head."Noooo!" Klaus screamed as he ran towards them but it was impossible to get there on time.Just as the sword lowered,it stopped midway in the air.Klaus stopped in his tracks and so did the others.What was happening?They could all see Mateo struggling with his sword ,however it hanged there on the air.A large hand grabbed his throat from nowhere.It was more of happiness than surprise to see him again.He looked nothing like he did back at the dungeon.It was like he'd gone for a thorough transformation but this wasn't the time to ogle.Aiden narrowed his eyes."I've come to pay you a visit" he smirked as he looked around "I don't see any chairs or wine?"He hissed slightly "Oh..I forgot! It's not a time for you to make merry, you're gonna die soon
They marched together all the way to the palace.Luckily,Mateo was still finding it difficult to open the vault.He was in the room trying to reach the Keeper about the process of opening the vault when one of his soldiers came and alerted him about the crowd gathered outside.Mateo was at first surprised.He thought the soldier had lost his mind.However,when he moved to look through his window he caught them.He wasn't the least surprised.Instead he changed out of his casual clothing and into his fighting suit."Get the soldiers ready" Mateo ordered even when he knew he wouldn't be needing them.He stepped out of the palace,his jacket flowing with the wind.He smiled."Hello." he said sarcastically "I see it is my ex-wife leading this useless battle"He shrugged"What really made y'all think you can defeat me?""We're not here to defeat you." responded Alicia "The one to that will be here soon,till then no more talking"He began walking towards them"As you wish"* * *Zeres was givin
"We have to leave." Klaus said "He isn't going to react""Is there a way we can destroy this cell?!" demanded a furious AliciaKlaus shook his head."We can fight Mateo together?" Raven suggested "Just to buy..buy us Nina a little time?"Alicia shrugged as she continued to stare at Aiden."We would all die even before Nina defeats Zeres" Alicia replied"But..for how long would it take for her to defeat him?""I don't know.The fight's been on for three days now" came Alicia's reply."However, that's not the point" she turned to them "We all know that Aiden is the only one capable of defeating Mateo.""If Nina can defeat the Keeper then I believe Aiden can surely put Mateo in his place.He just needs to believe in himself""He doesn't need belief" Damon interjected "He knows he can defeat Mateo he just doesn't want to""His mate is dead-""Can still come back to life" interrupted Alicia"It's still an option.We don't know yet if she can." Damon responded "If he's mate is dead who will he
The next morning.Matteo had both Kiyiya and Raven standing in front of the small number of citizens.Considering the present crisis,the number of citizens of Fye Kingdom has reduced drastically.The King had summoned them to the palace for them to witness the reward of those who dare goes against him.The ladies were chained with their hands behind.They were on their knees with a huge rock stem in front of them.They are going to be beheaded.Klaus stood not afar off,trembling.He still didn't know what to do.The dark circles under his eyes and the swelling told that he had not slept at all last night.Instead he had prayed.He had prayed that Aiden would show up suddenly after much thought to what he had said yesterday.However nothing like that happened.Mateo came up beside him."What is it? Are you still expecting a miracle?" he chuckled "You'll only have yourself to blame once your daughter's head goes rolling to your feet"Klaus shuddered as he watched Matteo order the soldiers
