As I already mentioned, Rafael's father is far worse than Astrid's brothers. Who is looking forward to Astrid's point of view? Stay tuned..... I love you all<3
26. sister's bonding This chapter is dedicated to ORIANJUSTIN HOYALS .Thank you for your support Astrid's POV:"Hello, my name is Eva, and you're Astrid, right?" she said as she extended her hand to me.I was still clutching the quilt, unsure what would happen if I let it go. I kept staring at her, unsure whether to accept her hand or not. I didn't want to offend her; if she was close to him, harm might befall me. Eventually, I gripped the quilt with one hand and extended the other."Hey," I said, and she smiled back at me."Oh my god, you are so gorgeous; no surprise, my brother has been smitten with you since the first time he saw you." She hugged me."B-B- Brother?" I frowned."Yes, Rafael is my brother, the real one." I don't know much about vampires other than the fact that they are territorial and aggressive.She appeared to be kind and sweet. If she despised me, she would have started being mean to me by now, and if she intended to harm me, she could have easily done so by no

28. Patience and Understanding This chapter is dedicated to DIVIADIAMOND. Thank you for your support. Rafael's POV: I hurriedly moved away as she opened her eyes. She met my gaze, smiled, and turned away in her sleepy state. I returned to my place, rearranging myself uncomfortably on the couch. I'm willing to go to any extent for that smile, and sleeping on the sofa is nothing compared to the lengths I'm willing to go. I dozed off while glancing at her lovely face. I sat up again when I heard Astrid gasp. Sweating profusely, she moved around in her spot. "No... no," she said, taking a defensive stance. "Leave me alone; I don't want to go anywhere with you guys," she said, shaking. I dashed over to her. "Astrid... Astrid," I said, but she didn't answer. Unsure if I should shake her to wake her up, I hesitated. "Mom, leave me alone; I don't want to get into this." I realized what she was having a nightmare about. "Astr... Astrid, wake up; you are alright." I shook her and tugged

30. Mate's Blood This chapter is dedicated to MERCY UWAIFO. Thank you for your support. Rafael's POV: I was taken aback by what Astrid had just said. I thought I was hearing things. In any case, her words brought immense joy to my heart. 'Your Queen,' she really said.She is, indeed, my queen. I can die if she asks me to. "What did you say?" I asked once more."Yes, you wanted me to come with you and tell you that I am your mate or queen, right? I don't recall the exact words, but you asked either of them if I'm not mistaken," she responded.I had asked her to assist me in informing everyone that I had found my mate, but I had no idea she would accept so easily.Overwhelmed with joy, I couldn't contain myself and embraced her in a bone-crushing hug. Bryan and Eva laughed, but my attention shifted when Astrid winced.I backed away, assuming I had hurt her or that my unexpected move had made her uncomfortable, but she was clutching her bleeding forearm.I softly took her hand in mine
31. MeetingThis chapter is dedicated to FALE...... Thank you for your support —not in a lethal sense, but a genuine threat to my carefully guarded emotions. What am I talking to myself about? I mentally smacked myself to break out of the trance I was in."Let's go," I said, motioning for her to follow me.I warned Bryan and Eva not to cross our paths. I want to be alone with her so she can get more comfortable with me. That is my life objective right now: to make her feel at home in my arms. Maybe she's feeling strange this time seeing the path we took because the las
32. Varlets This chapter is dedicated to NNEKA ELUEBO EDAFE. Thank you for your support. Astrid's POV: I gasped as his eyes caught my attention. They turned pitch black momentarily before shifting to crimson and returning to normal. "What happened? What did I do?" Rafael asked, shaking his head, to exit the zone he had just entered. Scanning the room, I found everyone seemingly unfazed. Perhaps this is usual for vampires, just as it is natural for us to transform into wolves and grow fur on our bodies. I'm not sure why it happened; as I previously stated, I'm not familiar with vampires, and I had no idea that a mate's blood could be used to kill even a royal. It disturbs me that they have my blood. What if something bad happens to him due to my actions and I wind up losing him? I can't let that happen. Rafael snapped his fingers in front of me. "Astrid." "Huh?" I frowned. I think I had zoned out. "Nothing," I corrected myself as I looked around. Perhaps this happened to him b
