Jessica for once felt she was in front of a mountain lion that was going to end her life within a matter of seconds. His eyes turned red and for once she thought she was looking at a beast. She closed and opened her eyes again and saw the handsome attractive man with beautiful eyes just angry, walking away from her room. "What just happened." she thought "Did I just imagine what I saw out of fright," she thought again Ragnor was back at the car park. Clara was tired of sitting in the car and was outstanding by the car."Sorry for keeping you waiting" He kissed her forehead tenderly and they both sat in the back seat of the car. The chauffeur was already behind the wheel. Ragnor handed him a small travel file before closing the car separator. The car engine came to life and soon it moved towards the exit. "What was your question again?" He said smiling Clara blinked twice and answered looking at him "Do you love me" He smiled and the car drove out of the compound. After some m
"Your son, the prince and would-be king and leader of our kingdom has bonded with a human girl for a queen""What!" exclaimed the king Back in the city, on the cruise ship, Ragnor lay on the bed with Clara wrapped in his arms sleeping as he was thinking about everything. He kissed the top of her head. If he didn't realize it before, he knows now, he loves her.He had completed both levels of bonding with her, making her his soul keeper and also the only woman for him. This does not only make them one but also it also means that no weapon no matter how powerful can have an impact on him, no sword can kill him, his body cannot be harmed, and body regeneration will also happen in seconds, meaning, you cut a part of his body and it will grow back quickly like it didn't even happen. He is now the most powerful vampire alive. Indestructible as long as no one finds his secret, Clara is his soul keeper. Kill Clara and he will be dead too. At least that is what is mother had told him.This h
The Vampire Elders are unhappy about Ragnor choosing a human as his mate and have asked the king, his father, to fix the situation or his family will be executed.Princess Siku, after finding out Ragnor had chosen a human as his mate over her was unhappy. She decided to go to the city to get rid of the human girl so she could take her rightful place as Ragnor's wife and the queen. Siku left the palace back to her own home and informed her parents about the new development surrounding her becoming the next vampire queen and Ragnor's wife. Her parents offered their full support, she left for San Francisco to claim her position as Ragnor's mate.In the city of San Francisco, Jessica is screaming her head out knowing she is dying as her body temperature is just dropping. She believes she is suffering from hypothermia, however, the butler deduced from her scent what is wrong with her. Jessica is turning into a vampire, Jack's progeny. To shut her up as her screams were now disturbing the en
Clara walked into the room and smiled upon seeing Ragnor. The servant left the room for them, Ragnor tried to act normal hoping Clara would not suspect anything.Clara just climbed into bed feeling very tired. She attributed it to the journey. Ragnor joined her on the bed as he sat with his back resting on the bed headboard. Clara placed her head on his lap and he stroked her hair gently. With the silence in the room and Clara's constant yawning, Ragnor went into deep thought about everything the butler had told him. He knew the only reason why Princess Siku took Jessica away was to use her against Clara. Now more than ever he can't let her out of his sight. There is danger everywhere now. He needs to keep Clara safe.Ragnor's heartache thinking about it. There was another thing bothering Ragnor, his true identity. That was something Clara still didn't know. He looked down at her lying on his lap with a smile on her face."She loves me now, I know, but how will things turn out if she k
Ragnor and Clara had their dinner talking about Jessica and what could be her reason for leaving without saying goodbye and she is also not answering any of her calls.They watched TV after dinner with Clara wrapped in Ragnors arms on the sofa. Clara was not sure why but she still felt exhausted since their intimate session on the cruise ship. Well, it was her first time being with a man. She was not sure if her body reaction was normal or if she should be worried but she slept off.Ragnor turned off the TV and carefully carried Clara into his bedroom. Her body has not yet adjusted to the presence of another soul inside her and this is what is making her feel exhausted. That, he knows but how long that will last, he was not sure. He needed to speak with his mum about it.Ragnor gently laid Clara on the bed and covered her with the blanket, making sure she was comfortable. He kissed her forehead and left the room taking his mobile phone with him. He closed the bedroom door gently and we
Ragnor rubbed Clara's back gently trying to calm her down. He felt her tears soaking his shirt."Hey, is okay," Ragnor said and continued stroking her back gently.Clara pulled her feet up curling herself up like a kitten in Ragnor's arms. She was so terrified her whole body would not stop shaking. Ragnor kept wondering what might have scared her so much to make her look so pale and shaking like a leaf but he did his best to calm her down. Eventually, Clara fell asleep again as she was still feeling exhausted. He held her all through the night till morning.Clara opened her eyes and realized Ragnor was sitting with his back resting on the headboard of the bed. His hands wrapped around her protectively. Judging from his position she realized he sat like that and held her while she slept all through till morning. He had his eyes closed. His jet-black hair was messy, but his face was very relaxed.Clara admired his handsome face smiling to herself. She had no doubt, that this man was very
"You are welcome to our home," the queen said to Clara and hugged her lovingly."Mum, I will leave her with you. Let me go find something to eat," Ragnor said.The queen nodded and turned her gaze back to Clara as Ragnor exited the room. The queen held Clara's right hand and made her sit next to her on the same sofa."What is your full name," The queen, Queen Nyota asked smiling."I am Clara Hughs," Clara replied with a smile."What a beautiful name you have there. My son has told me so many good things about you. I am delighted to meet you in person," Queen Nyota said smiling."I am Nyota Angavu," Queen Nyota introduced herself."Wow, I have never heard such a name before. What does it mean?" Clara asked smiling."It's Swahili. It means Bright Star," Queen Nyota replied."Wow, you are gorgeous," Clara admired and Queen Nyota smiled. "You are such a beautiful girl, too," Queen Nyota said.Clara smiled shyly and spoke "Thank you, mum. Can I call you mum?""Yes, you can my dear. You lik
"I couldn't leave her at home. Not with Siku's location unknown," Ragnor whispered back with a smile.Queen Nyota hugged Clara too and welcomed her to the palace. The palace was so huge and had more than 10 chandeliers lined up in the hall. The queen before leaving to find the king whispered into Ragnor's ears," Take good care of her. Don't let her out of your sight. If you need to, bring her to me." Ragnor nodded and he walked Clara to the dance floor where other vampires were dancing. "I don't know how to dance," Clara confessed realizing Ragnor wanted a dance with her."Don't worry, just leave that to me," Ragnor smiled at her. On the dance floor, Ragnor placed one hand on her lower waist and the other held her hand and he pressed her against his chest. Clara rested her head on his chest as they moved in rhythm to the song. Ragnor realized some of the vampires were looking at Clara thinking she was going to be a meal for them. He kissed Clara to inform them, that she was for hi
Emily, who was standing at the entrance of the bedroom, closed her eyes and began to glow, Clara's eyes widened seeing a glowing little girl at the door. She pulled away from the embrace, looking at Ragnor puzzled."Brother do whatever comes to mind," said Emily."Distract her," Ragnor thought and he changed into his flying form and kissed ClaraRagnor used what Clara liked to distract her. He started glowing and Clara smiled wrapping her arms around him forgetting the glowing little girl at the door as she responded to his kisses. Inside the room, George was forced to protect his eyes and he moved back as the glow in the room became too bright with Emily, Nyota, Ragnor and Clara all glowing together. The glow slowly began to fade and the room returned to its original light. It was almost 5 a.m. and the top floor of the palace glowing, had attracted some people to the area wondering what was happening. Ragnor smiled seeing Clara was now breathing and her body temperature had become w
"I only have one question. Did she want to come back?" Emily asked walking towards Nyota."Yes, she wanted to come back but Emily it was not easy pulling her out of the place," Nyota replied and Emily smiled.While they were talking, Ragnor was just sitting on the bed, in the same position staring at Clara while holding her hand in his. He couldn't hear any of the conversation going on around him. All he could feel was the emptiness accompanied by the immersed pain of the loss of his beloved. George and Nyota led Emily out of the room and back to her room. They sat her down and tried to talk her out of what she wanted to do."Emily, I know you love and care a lot about Aunty Clara but you are not healing a sickness or something, you are using her body as a medium to connect with her soul to pull her back. Emily, you know you can die doing that," George said worriedly."Emily, I know you want to help, but this is dangerous. You don't have a fighting ability; how will you protect yourse
"Please tell me she is still alive," said Nyota whose eyes were still moist with tears.Ragnor sat on the bed looking at Clara who looked more like she was sleeping but her body temperature was cold. George walked towards Nyota and hugged her tightly."I wish I could but we are going to try to bring her back," George said and pulled away from Nyota and looked into her tears-stained eyes."You have connected with her soul before. Ragnor will get the poison out and heal her body. I need you to be strong once he is done. You will call her back," George said."She was not dead when I did that. I am not sure if that will work with her ......" Nyota's voice thrilled off. "She is still not dead. She is like, what we say, in a coma but if we don't do anything she will die for real," George said and inhaled deeply. "Nyota, don't look at it that way. Her mind is still alive and her heart beats faintly. You connected with a soul before, that is more important and you can connect again. For Ragno
"Let me call Ragnor," George said and immediately searched for his phone. Back at Andrews's apartment, Gabrielle was walking down the road carrying her baby at Andrews's command. She could not control her tears and as she walked away from their apartment in the night, she turned to look behind a couple of times at Andrews, who was still standing in front of the apartment watching her back and kept on urging her to go. Killing Clara was like touching the lion by the tail, there was no way Andrews would escape death. He just wanted to ensure no matter what happens to him, Gabrielle and the baby will be safe. Ragnor's roar which was shaking the whole building could still be heard. Hearing Ragnor roar, you don't need a soothsayer to tell you the immense pain he was going through for the loss of his beloved. Inside the building, Ragnor was still kneeling next to Clara's body, uncontrollable tears flowed down his face as he continued to roar into the silent night. His fangs had already
Ragnor sat on the roof waiting and thinking of how to rescue both mother and child.Andrews was pacing up and down his apartment wondering if Ragnor could save his family without him having to kill Clara. Clara is in the palace and for him to go there would be too suspicious and calling her would be equally suspicious. He knew at this moment it would be difficult to get to Clara without raising any suspicion. Back in the palace, Clara was sitting on the bed in deep thought wondering if Ragnor was okay and if Andrews's family was out of danger. Emily was with Nyota asking so many questions as it was her first time visiting the city. George was resting in his room as he was working on some changes they would like to implement in the city. Ragnor had come to the full realization of his power and could control them very well so George was not bothered about what was happening with Siku and Andrews's family. George was certain everything would be fine. Siku cannot walk free this time. Cla
"Please come quick, Siku is, she is, please help," Andrews cried and ended the call."I hope this will get them here faster. Clara, I am so sorry for what I am about to do. Please forgive me," Andrews said and quickly called Gabrielle's phone which Siku answered immediately."Ragnor is coming back tonight. Please don't harm my baby. I will do as requested," Andrews said."Now, that is what I want to hear. You see, things are a lot easier if you just listen and obey," Siku said and laughed. "Since you have been a good lad, I will let you see your wife briefly," she said and put on the phone camera. Andrews saw Gabrielle tied up to a chair, her hair dishevelled and a cloth tied around her mouth. The baby was lying on the bare carpet. Seeing the tears flowing down Gabrielle's face and the baby on the floor crying, he felt a sharp pain in his heart."Please, Princess, I beg you, let the baby lie on a bed or something, it's too cold to lie on the bare floor. I beg you. He is just a child,"
"Gabrielle, where are you? is everything alright?" he questioned "Hello, Andrews," came Siku's voice and the colour drained off Andrews immediately upon recognizing the person. "How did she get into the city?" Andrews thought with eyes widened, concerned about the safety of his wife and child. "Did you miss me?" Siku asked and laughed, knowing from his silence, he was in shock. "Okay, let's not make me do anything nasty which will get my newly purchased carpet stained with blood. Cleaning items are costly in this city," she said nonchalantly "Please, don't harm them, I would do anything you ask of me. I promise," came Andrews's trembling voice. "Now, that is something I like but unfortunately it seems it's too late for you Andrews because there is nothing you can do for me unless you already have a plan that would work," Siku said. "Just tell me what you want and I will get it for you, please don't harm my wife and child," Andrews pleaded. "Ha......ha......ha...... ha," Si
"A couple of days more and I do away with this facade is quite exhausting," Siku thought and proceeded to her bedroom. The next day, Andrews and Gabrielle arrived in the Immortal City with their newborn. Gabrielle was already exhausted from the trip, so once they entered their home, she decided to take advantage of the baby sleeping to also get some rest. Andrews, however, went to the palace to greet the King and inform him of his return. He was just in time as Ragnor and Clara were about to leave for Matara to go pick up Emily. "Welcome back," said Ragnor after Andrews greeted them. "Thanks, my king," Andrews replied and bowed respectfully. "I suppose you left Gabrielle in San Francisco?" asked Clara. "No, I came with her. She stayed back at home to rest. She is very tired from the trip," Andrews replied. "That is fine. Give her my love and tell her we will come to visit as soon as we return from Matara," Clara said. 'Thanks, Mrs Usiku," replied Andrews. "Wow, this is th
"You will come with me. We will fly," Ragnor said and Clara was happy. The next day, Ragnor was in a meeting with some council members and Nyota and Clara decided to take some time to admire the city. The city indeed had changed a lot with the new ideas of improvement. While in town they ran into Siku, Nyota frowned immediately upon seeing her but Clara happily greeted her. "Hello princess," Clara said with a smile and Siku smiled back shyly. "Please, just call me Siku," Siku said and lowered her gaze. Nyota frowned but was shocked by what she witnessed. If someone had told her, that Siku had a twin or clone version of herself with a different mind, she would believe it. She thought looking at Siku shocked. "I can't address you like that; you are still royalty," Clara pointed out and Siku sighed. "Clara, can you find it in your heart to forgive me?" Siku asked, looking at Clara. "Don't worry about it. The past is in the past. It's a new day. Let it go and forgive yourself too
