Devour Me, My King 14. Connor's Curiosity
Catalina’s POVI got up from bed when I heard Thaddeus' footsteps approaching from the outside. I opened the door and found him standing in front of the door. It's already well past two in the morning when I check the time on the wristwatch."Where have you been? You are not sleeping in the same bed with me." I complain about it as if we were deeply committed to one another in a committed relationship."Why do you care? I can take care of myself." He said as he walked past me. I turned around with a frown and went back to my bedroom. I was confused as to the cause of his abrupt change in demeanor. I curled up in bed and closed my eyes until I fell asleep.The next morning,I didn't see him, and I believe that after what occurred to us the night before, he continued to ignore me. I now know that he has continued to ignore me because he views me as a temptation he must avoid. Then I don't understand why in the heck he decided to marry me in the first place. I saw two maids were here e
Devour Me, My King 15. Rarest Gem
Catalina’s POV Connor watched how I acted, so I tried to seem normal and smiled at him. But he still thinks something is wrong with me. So he inquired, "What's the matter? You okay?" "Nothing," Then, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw three black SUV-style luxury vans pull up to the Villa. The guard unlocked the gate, and Jessica and Leila ceased fighting with each other. Arthur came onto the terrace and stared at the attractive man who had just exited the SUV. I want Arthur to feel bad about himself that I chose a man who is better than him. I want Leila to think that what she has now is nothing compared to what I have. I gave Thaddeus a covert smile as he walked near me, and he kissed my cheek and mumbled something. "Did I just tell you that if you make something, you have to tell me about it?" I whispered back. "You didn't tell me where you were last night," His face clouded, and Connor walked slowly behind me, staring at Thaddeus. Thaddeus was still wearing dark sung
Devour Me, My King 16. They're Here!
Catalina’s POVSitting next to him, I could feel his hypnotizing stare. His gaze went to the ring on my index finger. Then he sniffed deeply and asked, "Did he give you that?" I smiled and nodded my head, saying, "Yes, it's the rarest red diamond...." "I know," he said, nodding his head. He didn't say anything more the whole way back to the mansion. As we arrived at the mansion, we were at the entrance. He pulled me closer to him and said, “They’re here.” I looked at him with confusion. “Who’s here?” "The Council of Vampires." He whispered, and a surge of dark air made the large gate outside close. Then, all of the mansion's servants returned to their rooms and locked the doors. A man with dark hair and dark eyes that turned crimson as he walked toward me made me gasp, and I grasped Thaddeus' hand out of panic. Then, the three of them started walking like they were walking on air. As they got closer to us, they halted, and the chilly air stopped blowing around. “Well, well, wel
Devour Me, My King 17. Her Desires
Catalina’s POVThaddeus became such an important person in my life, I don’t want something to happen to him, and I guess it will shatter me into pieces if he’s not with me. I rolled over on the bed and kept thinking about him since I couldn’t sleep. I can think of as much as I want, but he can’t even read what’s in my mind. I got up, walked into his room, and cautiously opened the door. I just wanted to take a quick look at him in case he stepped outside again without informing me. The door suddenly shut, which surprised me. I gulped and took a step back to try to unlock it, but I couldn't. Then someone grabbed me around the waist, and I gasped and stuttered. "I….I—I d—didn't—" "Catalina, what are you doing here?" My brain went completely blank, and I had no idea how to respond to what he said. When it was dark, red lightning appeared in his eyes, gradually subsiding, leaving his eyes their usual color. "I'm not sure what it is that you want...Tell me, what it is that you desire?
Devour Me, My King 18. I Almost Die, Remember?
Catalina’s POV “Just dropped me in my Dad’s building,” I told the driver, and he nodded his head. As I was about to step out, the driver said, “Does Mr. Gualtiero know you’re—” I raised my index finger and said, “Sssshhh, no, don’t tell him about this. This is my plan.” As I entered the building, everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at me at what am I doing in Sullivan’s Empire. Do they know that I’m the heiress? Maybe not. Maybe Lily tried to tell them the lie. “Miss Catalina?” The guard stopped me in the middle of the hallway, and I glanced at him. “Yes?” “Miss Catalina, you are banned from stepping foot in this building,” he said with a nervous face. I put my hands on my hips and asked, “Why?” "Catalina, why in the hell are you even here?!," the woman, who appeared to be in her fifties and had been wearing sunglasses, demanded in a stern voice. "I'm here because I'm my father's daughter," I scoffed while adjusting my long sleeves. "Don't you remember?
Devour Me, My King 19. Kiss Me Again
Catalina’s POV"Why can't I trust him?" I inquired about this as Thaddeus and I made our way into the woods; I had no idea where he was leading me, but I trusted him more than any other human.He responded with a hoarse whisper, "Because he's not good for both of us." "I've known him since we were little, but I don't understand why you're acting like this. I don't know what's wrong with you. He is a good friend of mine, and he handed this to me. I said in a shaky voice while showing the ring to him on my index finger. He removed the ring on my finger, and I asked angrily, "What do you think you're doing?" "He put something within this ring, a drop of holy water, which is why it is difficult for me to stay near to you; in fact, it is far more difficult than it was before." Thaddeus looked at me with a serious expression and placed the ring on my palm before telling me, "You need to give this back to him." "Is he…Is he a member of the Vampire Hunter's Organization?" I asked with some
Devour Me, My King 20. Locked
Catalina’s POVAfter getting a call, he kissed my forehead and said, "I have to go." I just scowled and felt like there was something wrong with me. I want him, but every time I want him in bed, something terrible happens.“Miss Catalina, your bathtub is ready.” The maid said. With a subtle nod of my head, I make my way toward the bathroom, eager to unwind and release the tension that has built up throughout the day. The amalgamation of pressure and excitement has exhausted me, and I need rest. As I sink into the warm water, I feel my body begin to relax, and the monotony of the day slowly fades away. I closed my eyes until I fell asleep and dreamed of my dad. It was so dark I couldn't see my father, but I could hear him saying, "Catalina, save yourself. Claim what is rightfully yours, for it is not meant for those who are undeserving."When I opened them, I felt a sharp pang in my chest as I recalled my father. I slumped in the corner and sobbed uncontrollably. "D-Dad...." I dried
Devour Me, My King 21. In and Out
Catalina’s POVIt was just a small cut and nothing serious, but his face was all written like it was something horrible that he needed to heal the cut so properly, or he would collapse from smelling my blood. He applied a bandage to my wounded foot while staring at my face."I was not always like this...it's only that the smell of your blood turned into an addiction for me." He was trying so hard to swallow, and his Adam's apple moved back and forth as he spoke. "Like I was needing it all the while...." "Why don't you simply bite me and get over it?" I inquired as if I were not considering the repercussions of my actions. He laughed about how I had stupidly offered myself to him, and he shook his head and kissed the back of my hand, making my heart throb again for him.“No…I don’t want you to be a blood slave of mine, you are so important to me, and you are my wife." I let out a soft sigh and looked into his eyes, which had been staring at me the entire time, "Do you want to go with
