Searching for Luciana
Luciana was sweating profusely, while Raziel stood, watching her dig a grave. For a frail woman like her, she sure had a lot of determination. Every now and then, he would be scared that she would collapse, but he still didn't help her. He wanted to see how far she would go.
She suddenly dropped the shovel, and said. "I am tired."Raziel smiled and thought she was going to ask him for help, but instead the human girl just lay in her half dug grave.Raziel didn't know how much time they have spent, but he knew that he had spent hours watching her. And this was the first time she tried to rest."Are you aware you are in trouble Luciana?" He asked curiously."Yes." She answered curtly, as she placed both hand under hear head, imitating a pillow."For what?" Raziel asked again."I killed the vampires, and I would be charged for murder."Raziel shook his head. So she was aware."But you know I can help you."Related chapters
Bound by Blood Tempting a vampire
"Finn!" Luciana yelled as she sprang up from her bed. That was her little brother's name, and she just woke up from a nightmare where she saw him being stabbed. Sometimes she felt like she could feel the physical pain. But she believed that no physical pain could be greater than the pain in her heart.Her chest heaved up and down, and she felt her eyes sting. She immediately reached for the side of the bed where she had kept her knife and grabbed it. She thought of cutting her wrist, but she didn't want the prince to see it and take her to the physician again.Instead she decided to cut her upper arm, where her sleeves would cover, and he would not see it. If she bath and wash up, he would not be able to smell it. She then began to cut herself from her upper arms upwards, even though she still felt the urge to cut her wrist. After she was done, she found out that she had wounded herself a little too much, even up to her shoulder and back. She sh
Bound by Blood It's alright to cry
Raziel's head was buried on Luciana's shoulder, as he drank her blood, his tongue wiping the ones that flowed down her skin.Luciana did not expect she would feel the way she felt. She felt tremor run down her body with every swipe of his tongue on her skin. She didn't even realize the moment she gripped him tight. She thought she was going to feel pain, but what was this?A sigh she could not believe came from her left her lips, and she quickly covered her mouth with one hand. What was this man doing?"Your highness..." She murmured, but even that didn't sound like it came from her. Why was he licking her skin?She hadn't let any man get this close to her, even Duke Elric. He had once tried to kiss her, but she refused. She had only let him hold her hand and hug her. She was sure that if she wasn't so focused on her studies, something would have happened between them.Raziel finally forced himself to pull away from her. When he looked at
Bound by Blood Favour from the prince
Luciana remembered those times she used to go out with her family. They loved to have fun together. They would eat out sometimes, visit different memorable places. But ever since she lost them, having fun was the last thing on her mind.Luciana felt her eyes prick her again, but she wasn't going to cry. The prince made her cry already, and she didn't want to anymore. She hates how pathetic it makes her."May I ask a favour from you your highness?""Go on.""I witnessed my mother, father, brother and aunty being killed, but I was taken away before I saw what happened to my sister." She narrated. "So you think she might still be alive?" Raziel asked."I am not sure. I just wondered if she was killed or if she was taken away like I was." Luciana reasoned. "There is only a slim chance, but I would like to explore the only hope I have."Raziel didn't know what to say to her. Should he encourage her to keep having hope? That
Bound by Blood Out with the prince
Raziel and Luciana walked in the market close to each other as they checked out different stores."Did you see anything that catches your fancy?" He asked her, and she shook her head.They checked through more stores, cloth stores, shoes, jewelries, but Luciana didn't pick anything. She just looked at them to pass time, and occupy her mind with something else.Just when they were about leaving the jewelry store, Luciana turned back as something caught her interest. "Give me a moment your highness."She then walked to a jewelry stand and picked up a blue necklace that came with a bracelet and earrings."You like those?""My sister would love them." She then turned to him. "I will give them to her when I see her. I want to be optimistic. Having hope is better than this feeling of emptiness."Raziel only nodded to her. He too hoped that she would find her sister, because he knew that she would be really broken if she doesn't. Sh
Bound by Blood The physician
Luciana and Raziel rode in a comfortable silence back to the castle. Luciana rest her head in the backrest of the carriage seat, and her eyes looked drowsy with sleep, but she tried to fight it."You can sleep if you want." Raziel said to her."When we get back to the castle."He only nodded at her stubbornness."Don't be bothered by what the sooth sayer said. They are mainly guesses." Luciana told him."I don't believe in them." He then looked out the window. "But my mother did.""Did they say anything that once came to pass?""Not really. But my father..." He turned to her, only to meet her sleeping already. He shook his head, before adjusting hers in a more comfortable position.When they got to the castle, he took off his cloak, and woke her up, and they came down together. She was still feeling sleepy, so he decided to escort her to her room.When she entered, and he was able to go, she pulled on h
Bound by Blood A visit to Wesborne
Luciana stared at him in disbelief. "And you agreed to it?" She asked doubtfully."I told him that I might take one or two." Raziel recounted his meeting with his father to her."Oh, 'might'. You are not certain.""You'd be surprised." Raziel said with a smirk."I don't believe it." Luciana argued, her gaze narrowed at him."You don't want me to get married?" Raziel raised a brow teasingly at her."That's not in my place to decide, but I don't believe you will be getting married. You must have some ace up your sleeve.""I'm with her. Knowing you, you would play a trick on them again." Lorenzo added, and Raziel only smiled."We will see."*****The next morning, Luciana woke up early to go find Raziel. Strangely she did not have her nightmares that night and she would have loved to sleep more, but Raziel offered to help her find her sister, and she didn't want the opportunity to slip off her fin
Bound by Blood Meeting with the princess

She had made sure to bring along with her her arrows and bow, the only weapon she knew how to use.Raziel not wanting to turn her down, agreed. He too wanted to meet this infamous Lord that had killed her family.They entered one of the town's carriage that would lead them to Lord Kruger's mansion. The coachman was going to wait for the carriage to be full, but Raziel insisted that he took only the both of them, and paid for the empty seats."How do you feel now Luciana?"She shook her head. "I don't know. Sometimes I feel it is not true, and that I will see them one day. It is too cruel to be real.""I understand you." He said to her, and she smiled sadly.When they got to Kruger's mansions, they saw guards stationed all around his gate.Raziel held Luciana's hand and walked
Bound by Blood I will marry you
It was obvious that the princess was displeased with Raziel's attitude, but she tried her best to hide it. She gave him one of her polite practiced smiles."I am Lyra your highness, the first princess of Crestland, and the daughter of...""I didn't ask you for details. I only asked for your name." Raziel cut her off, and she gave him a smile which was obviously forced. Raziel smiled to himself. This one was easy."What are your hobbies your highness?" He asked as he began to eat. "I am an outdoor person. I usually enjoy mountain climbing and picnics.""We have something in common then." Raziel stated, and he noticed her face brighten a bit. "I am an outdoor person too, but I don't do mountain climbing and picnics. My favorite outdoor activity is slaughtering.""Slaughtering? I don't understand. Do you hunt?""Yes. But not animals."The princess shifted uncomfortably in her seat, and he noticed the little sweat gathering on her forehead."Humans then?""Humans, vampires, werewolves, w
