The Slayer The Blood Oath
The blood oath was a bond among people, who swear their loyalty and confraternity to each other, connecting them through their blood. The bond allowed the tied ones to communicate through the mental conversations. I was going to be tied to the bond that all the soldiers, and guards share with the royal family.I was given a new uniform which was made of brown leather, suitable for carrying weapons around and comfortable moving. We were on our way to the temple at the heart of the town to perform the ritual. A mini parade was prepared to accompany us to our destination. Four groups of armoured soldiers was at our sides, led by the King and his men.The commoners were standing on the sides of the broad way and peeped through their windows to look at the royal party. Children were screaming in excitement while their mothers pulled them back and hushed them. We arrived at our destination and the group ahead of us split into two to make way for us to ascend the steps of the pristine templ
The Slayer The High Priest
I navigated my way through the brightly lit hallways of the walloping castle to look for my chambers. I took in every turn and narrow hidden cabinets to memorize the structure in casez I ever needed it in the future.The echo of my boots hitting the shiny floor was the only sound beside the wind howling outside. . My demeanor was calm but my mind was racing a mile, thinking about how could I break through the heavy settings of guard at the dungeons without getting caught. After my little intrusion a few days ago, the security had been raised up."Are you the new guard to the princess?" A female asked from behind me. "Yes." I answered."The high priest has asked for you at the temple." She informed and I frowned in confusion. Why did the priest want to see me? Even earlier, he was looking at me weirdly. "Thank you." I nodded at the female and she returned to her work . Leaving the castle I reached the temple again that day, curious as to why the high priest would want to meet a stra
The Slayer The Questions (part i)
"I don't belong at this table, princess. I will sit where I am supposed to. Enjoy your meal, please." I gently removed her hand from my arm and went to the table designated for people like me. Guards who protected important people and valuable belongings.I filled my plate and settled into an empty chair. I was the only female on this table, for no female joined this type of job. I noticed the way all the men stole glances at my direction in curiosity and in irritation. They were annoyed that a female was sitting among them where they were a sign of masculinity and strength.The sounds of footsteps on the polished floor caught everyone's attention. A female entered the dining hall, with two maids trailing behind her. Her honey blonde hair that reached to her waist swayed slightly with her walking as she made her way straight to the table where my mate sat eating his dinner quietly. It was as if she didn't even notice anyone around her beside him and quickly went to his side. "I apolo
The Slayer The Questions (part ii)
The tension in the room was so thick, I could cut it with a blade. Nervousness and anxiety had gripped my throat, making it hard to breathe properly. The cold man in front of me was just over the top of the reasons of my heightening stress. Willing my curled toes to relax under my shoes and straightening my spine, I got ready to face the problem."If I were your mate, Alpha King, then don't you think that we would have felt something by now. I'm sure there is something supposed to happen like some scent or… your wolf would be restless, wouldn't it?" I said moving my hands around."You are right but, I just can't seem to believe that." He started in his ever so emotionless, stoic voice. "Everything about you is just too much similar to her. Your hair, your eyes… your everything leads me to think that you are her." Reminding my heart to beat slowly in my chest, I nodded. "Have you met your mate before, Alpha king?" I asked him instead."Yes. I have met her once." He nodded. "Then why
The Slayer The Questions (part iii)
"Why did you tell him?" I questioned right after slamming the room of his chambers open. Startl5 he looked up to me, his hands freezing in mid of turning a page of the book of his lap.. "What did I tell to whom, my child?" He asked back in confusion. I huffed out an annoyed breath. "I don't have the time for your mimic innocence, high priest. Last night the king confronted me, asking me if I was his mate." His eyes broadened visibly at my statement. "He could have done that the other day when I came. But he only did that after you called me his mate. So, you must be the one to fill his ears." I accused him. He shook his head and walked towards the window, his back to me. "I can swear upon the goddess I didn't say anything to him. And why would I when I myself don't want him to know that?" He asked as he faced me again."And why don't you want him to know?" I asked frowning my eye brows in suspicion. "There are a lot of things here you don't know." He replied. "I have plenty of ti
The Slayer The Strength
I knocked twice on the heavy cherry wood door waiting for a response. Tension coiled in my stomach urging me to take deep breaths. I wondered if it was the mate bond prickling my skin or was it just the nerves. Everytime I was in his proximity I feared that this time, I might be exposed.A muffled 'come in' sounded halting my thoughts. The words were so soft they were barely audible, but my heightened hearing picked it up. Ignoring the heavy feeling in my stomach and my wolf's excitedly wagging tail, I entered the room. I loved my wolf, but when she acted like this around him, it irritated me.The high ceiling room was covered in golden and dark blue colours. The giant sized bed was placed against the wall in the middle with a huge spacious balcony to let plenty of sunlight in. A room well made for a King. "I said you can come in." He barked. I may not be the person with the best etiquettes, but sometimes I wished I could smack him in the face to teach him some manners. Cursing and
The Slayer The Heat
My whole being was on fire. Fire that threatened to melt my skin and burn my bones to ashes. With a loud gasp I sat up looking out for my surroundings. Everything was dark and perfectly fine but my body still felt like molten lava was poured over me and there was a low pain in my abdomen that promised to be more tormenting as the time passed. I fumbled in the dark for the water on my bedside. I took large gulps of chilled water and laid back. The pain never subsided, it only became more vigorous causing me to let out painful whimpers. I didn't know whatever was happening, I couldn't even lift my fingers from the exhaustion.Wriggling and thrashing, I didn't even realise when the first ray of morning's sun peeped into my room or when the doors flew open. Someone called my name frantically and came to my side touching my arms and forehead. I tried to calm my breathing and focused on the voice. "What happened Seraphina? Are you hurt? I'll help, tell me!" Adelia. "A-adel, it-it burns."
The Slayer The Spar
"You will see." He said before opening the door with a creak and stepped inside, leaving me to follow. One foot inside, and the air heavily filled with the scent of jasmine and roses hit me right in the face. The room was as huge as a ballroom, covered with thick vines on glass windows everywhere. Vines of roses hung from the ceiling, entangled with jasmines like curtains. The place was so beautiful it seemed to be enchanted. "Do you like it?" The Alpha king asked from my right. "Yes. But what is this? What do you do here? And why are there only roses and jasmine?" I asked, not being able to stop the questions from flowing. An amused smile danced on his lips. "Full of questions, are we?" My cheeks flushed from his teasing just like the roses in the room. "I apologise.""You should never apologise for your curiosity. Questions are what offer you knowledge." He said and I just nodded. "A couple of weeks ago I arranged this greenhouse. This place is somewhere I come to seek peace,
