The prince's quarters
Not long after Luciana got back, she came outside, wanting to go to the laboratory. She then realized that the prince gave her a pendant that could permit her to use the laboratory, but no means to go there. She wondered if she could go on foot. It was far, and her body felt very weak. She decided to go anyway.
She was only at the castle's gate when she heard the prince's voice."Luciana." He sounded surprised. He didn't expect that she would still be on her feet, looking for where to go after what she had experienced that day.Luciana turned to him. "Your highness.""Where are you going?""To the laboratory." She answered honestly.He shook his head. "After what you have gone through today?"Luciana remained silent. He walked up to her and looked her in the eyes. Her face held no expression, just blank. Her eyes made it obvious that she lacked sleep a lot, and he could tell she was tired from how she walked. Her eyes loRelated chapters
Bound by Blood Blood will rain
Luciana tried her best to finish the food given to her, but she couldn't. She had even eaten about half of the portion given to her, which was very unlike her, just so she could use the laboratory. But she wondered if the prince would let her go with just that portion.After forcing herself a little more, she gave up and dropped the food. She decided to go to the inn to get her notes where she had things written."Where have you been?" Rebecca asked the human the moment she stepped her foot inside. She had her hands crossed across her chest and there was a smirk on her lips. She believed that the princess must have thought her a lesson. The human even looked rougher than she usually looked.Luciana rolled her eyes. The dog would never give up."I have been with the prince." Luciana replied with a smile that she was sure would sting her.Rebecca's smiled died down immediately, and it was replaced by a glower."Liar. The princess would not a
Bound by Blood Where is the groom?
Luciana snuck some arrow into her new room to soak them in her vampire poison mixture, and left it there. She hoped to use it soon.Meanwhile it was a day to Raziel and Evelyn's wedding, and the princess had not spoken to him since she was released. She was still angry at him for how he treated her, but she was still willing to marry him.The servants were very busy in preparation for the wedding, while Evelyn was busy giving instructions to everyone. There were important guests from different range of nobilities, all wanting to attend the important event.Raziel was in his room as he was asked by his father to give his duties to Lorenzo. He lay on the bed, wanting to sleep the day away in peace. But his peace was short lived when the door opened and his father stepped in."Raziel we need to talk." What was it this time?"Have you seen your future bride?" The king asked."No father.""Did you ask of her?"
Bound by Blood Take him!
Evelyn's father stood up angrily from the seat, followed by his wife. Raziel's father also stood and they all went to the front, where the knight stood."Where is he? Where is that prince?" Evelyn's father yelled as his chest heaved up and down in anger, drawing the guests' attention to them."Where did he say he was going? What work does he have?" Raziel's father asked."I have no idea your majesty. He would not tell me.""Don't tell me he left already.""He did your majesty."The king was aware that most of the guests were supernaturals, and some of them could hear them, so he signalled for Evelyn's parents to calm down, but they weren't having it."This is an insult to my daughter, my family, my whole kingdom." The entire hall became tensed, and the guests started to murmur.Raziel's father turned to the knight."Gather your men, find the prince and bring him here.""Your majesty?" The knight tho
Bound by Blood You killed him?
Luciana decided to take a stroll around outside the castle. She spent her day reading. With Raziel's permission, she brought some of the books into her new room. She expected that princess Evelyn would move her out of the prince's quarters after the wedding, but she didn't bother to leave. The prince hadn't asked her to leave anyway. Now she heard that Raziel abandoned Evelyn, she couldn't help but find the situation funny. The prince was something else. And she believed that it served the spoilt and pompous princess right.Luciana didn't realize how far she had walked until she heard a high pitched scream from afar. She had taken some of the arrows she experimented on with her just in case the need might arise. She wondered if she was going to use them that evening. But then she heard the scream again, this time even louder.It was coming from a girl, and it was a distressed cry. She wondered what was happening to her.Luciana quickly traced the
Bound by Blood 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."
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
