ROYALTY UNLEASHED: MATED TO A VAMPIRE GOD

My eyes stayed on the painting right in front of me. I did not know when last I blinked but I could feel the moisture collecting in my eyes as they got sore from staring at the picture with such intensity. I thought about what I was thinking but came up short as I did not know where my thoughts were at. It seemed as if everything had been blurred around me, as if I was taking a focused photo. My hands stayed where they lay on my thigh which rested on my other thigh, having crossed my legs. My sore ears were covered by my headphones with Billie Eilish blasting loud. I felt like I could relate to her music as it was as dark as I was inside, nothing could fill the void that was deep within me and I had learned to embrace it. The music stopped which meant it was seven on the dot. I took off my headphones, carefully placing them on the bed before grabbing the crown and carefully placing it on my neatly tied hair. I stood up gracefully, my hands flattening my long designer tight skirt, g

I looked but not seeing, listened but not hearing, even the loud music that brutalized my ears leaving them sore and red as if a rash would appear.I had cried myself to sleep only to wake up like the robot I was raised to be, taking my shower. I had sat through the fix up only to sit on the bed, waiting for the clock to strike seven. Maggie stood by the door where she always was, her shift starting at half past six to watch them fix me up and make me look like the good princess I was.Today was the day, today was the day I would leave the castle never to look back and somehow some part of me was relieved, some part of me was happy. I would finally leave this wicked place, leaving everything behind. I knew that whatever waited for me was not good, not even in the slightest, but I would face it head on. I was twenty-one years old and it was time for me to get out from my shell and fight for my life. I did not care what they would bring on me but whatever it was, I was going to meet it

"Your highness, Princess Anastasia Nikita Furthrone, our own future queen! Her—" I jolted up, my eyes moving over the jet as Belinda shook the sleep from her face. "What is going on princess?" she asked perplexed. "I think they are here." I said, standing up, trying to see outside. Car lights, a lot of car lights and a thin crowd collected. I could only see their long shadows, making them seem longer and thinner which had my heart hammer in my chest as they seemed like scary creatures. I took a deep breath, feeling for my crown and finding it in place, my bun was probably a bit messed up but what could I do. I turned to Belinda who was as white as paper, fear making her shake as I took a step. "Can you please open the door, Belinda?" I asked, my confidence back, knowing that I had to do this, knowing that I could not run from this. It was time to stop acting like a teenager and start acting lik

"I hate the fact that I can't see in her future, I mean that has never happened before and I have lived for a thousand years." Another girl that looked nothing more than eighteen said, making me stare at her perplexed. How was that even possible? Witches were mortal and could easily die just like humans.   I had so many questions yet I sat listening. "Why is he not listening to us?" Another girl with blue sparkling eyes shot out, pacing up and down, it being clear that this got on her nerves. "I think that the mystery is something else that has him set on this. If he can't see their future then what were we? It does not matter though, whatever comes, we can take it. We will protect him and the coterie from anything bad that comes. I am sure this wet dog can't do much damage. Did I mention that she tried to use her stupid dog power on me?" The evil witch that I wante

The light wind blew around us, the flowers trapped by the wind in the air as it cocooned us and protected us from whatever was on the other side. My hands were on his, seeming so small and fragile yet not wanting to be anywhere else. He stared at me, feeling the eyes holding mine. A moment of silence passed through, my heart making it impossible to hear anything as it drummed like a thousand hooves hitting the ground so violently and tearing the earth into two. I did not know what was happening, did not know if I should say something but kept my mouth shut, trusting that they would let me know if so. My eyes closed, taking a swift intake of the air, his scent sending my insides melting, my knees weak. It was the best smell I had ever smelt, letting me know that I was fucked. The mate bond just made all that he would do to me even worse as the pain of being hurt by a mate was something that is not even whispered.
