Author Pov"That's what she asked me to inform you," Rylie said to the injured man who nodded at her making her leave the room.Neil was sitting on the bed resting when Rylie came with his food and just as Fleur told her to tell him she conveyed the exact words to him. Neil looked at the porridge and a small smile appeared over his slightly swollen lips.The wave of regret once again hit him remembering how he framed that innocent girl who not only saved his life but also made him food as a thankful gesture. With his bandaged hand he held the plate up on which the porridge bowl was settled.He gulped one spoonful of the delicious food and a sigh of contentment escaped his lips. Remembering her bright blue eyes that looked at him with nothing but worry made him chuckle lowly.He thought after betraying his king he will never be able to get that kind of look from anywhere but now he knew why his king was so much drawn to her. She had everything that could make any man love her effortles
Author PovGabriel gritted his teeth watching the head of Sicilia being gifted to him by the vampires. This never happened before. The vampires used to kill the intruder without sending anything back to the kingdom and this act of Caius was an open indication of the coming war.He motioned for Carol with his hand to throw her head into the river which Carol did. Sicilia was dead as expected but there must be a solid reason for Caius to send her head back. And the possibility of that woman spitting out something to the vampire king made Gabriel angrier.But what could she possibly tell him? Gabriel never shared anything with her. Not even a single thing. But Neil. He wasn't sure if that thick-skulled man has told her about something related to Gabriel because he already knew how much he was in love with that desperate woman.Leaning his back against his throne chair his thoughts wander off to his little woman. He already has many things to do and redeem but now this vampire matters. It
Author PovFleur bit her lower lip trying to control her silent sobs as her eyes were stuck over the man lying on the bed letting his blood coat the brown sheets. The doctors were busy trying to control his blood but to no avail. He was severely injured."It's all my fault." She whispered to herself blinking a few times letting more tears kiss her pale cheeks.It was supposed to be her laying on the bed not him. She shouldn't have ignored his warnings. She should have listened to him but because of her stubbornness, she decided to go against him.Gabriel warned her a few times to not go to the garden anymore. He asked her to stay in his chambers in his absence as after getting Sicilia's head he knew the vampires can attack them anytime. Even vampires wouldn't want to start a war.They will first try to kill Fleur without attacking the kingdom but that be to some extent. Fleur licked her lips remembering how the attack was for her but Gabriel took it over him. Even though she knew he w
Author Pov"Fuck!" Neil cursed slamming his palm against the wooden cupboard making a loud screeching sound indicating how disturbed he was as he nearly broke the wood. His emotions were overwhelmed by the time he rushed to his room.Carol's words were ringing in his ears like a broken radio. He couldn't stop himself from pondering over what he said. And somehow against his own will, he kept on hearing his heart giving a supporting hand to what Carol alleged a while ago."Impossible." He whispered to himself shaking his head, this can't be true. Him and Fleur? It's impossible! He can't feel anything for her, she's his king's woman. The woman who is supposed to be his soon-to-be queen.But somewhere in his burning heart, he knew before he could even stop himself he has already lost himself to her. The day she ailed his bleeding arm fixed everything for him, the kindness and innocence she has wrapped around herself can make any man fall for her effortlessly.She was the fallen angel but
Author's PovA contented breath escaped his lips keeping his stoic yet tender look fixated on her angelic face. Her ocean eyes were closed shut depriving him of the right to watch them to his heart's content. But the notion of her face was enough for him to feel a weird kind of tranquility in his heart.After exchanging a palatable kiss with her he embraced her tiny frame in his rugged arms letting her rest her head against his hard chest, she had no idea when did she allow the sleep to engulf her while hearing the rapid growth of his heartbeat. She never thought her closeness affects him this much.While on the other hand, Gabriel didn't permit his eyelids to close or even think of dropping the view before his eyes, he had waited too long for this to happen, and finally, she was here, in his arms with her whole will. Raising his rough long fingers, he leery swept the brunette strands of her face wanting to watch her without any barrier. Crouching his face closer to her sleepy ones he
Author's Pov"I killed her," He let out without one ounce of hesitation, a cracked breath escaped her lips watching amusement sparkling in his eyes."Scared?" He inquired even though he knew she was dead frightened right this moment. Humans are too fragile for their good. Guiding his face near hers abutting her personal space he showed how much satisfied he looked by the thought of killing the girl he once claimed to feel something for, she tensely quaffed the saliva down her throat, and she unconsciously gripped his hand which didn't go unnoticed by him."I would love to tell you the details of what I did to her, how painfully I peeled off her skin and killed her brutally but I wouldn't, your sweet naive heart wouldn't be able to take it." He completed letting her breathe out in relief."H-Her family? D-Did you---" She breathlessly questioned him causing him to let out a small humourous laugh."Come on darling, I am not that bad now. I am quite a nice guy, " A tight-lipped laugh ech
Author PovGabriel set a foot inside the chambers looking through the room, it was late at night and as expected a full moon, even though he has tried to control himself to not return to the castle and stay away from his little siren for as long as he could but in the end it didn't stay in his hand.He didn't lift his hopes too much having an idea of her not abide by the wish he made yesterday, along with expressing his need he also tried to consider her comfort by compelling her to not appear before his eyes if she didn't have the same desire as his.But seeing the empty vast room, he heaved out a worn out breath feeling a little disappointed but at the same time considering her easement as well, blinking his firm eyes he walked forward stripping the mantel off his shoulders, hanging it on the metallic stand beside the door.Just when he was ready to unfasten his dirty boots he heard a soft, steady strides coming in his way. Hoisting his head straight, his sturdy frame stilled in a s
Author's PovSoughing in contentment the giant beast stared at his little woman being cradled on his bare chest, she was sitting over his lap while their lower bodies were submerged in the water of the vast bathtub. After sleeping a few hours, Gabriel forced his dozed-off beauty before gently cuddling her worn-out frame in his strong arms and walking towards the bathroom.Stroking her soft cheek he traced his fingers down to her jawline nuzzling the tip of his fingers on her marked flesh, he smirked proudly breathing out when his eyes fell over her marked neck and collarbone, the small reddish flecks he has left behind all over her looked beyond commendable.His mind traveled back to the indelible night he had with her, the way she was writhing being trapped under a hungry wolf, the way she arched each time he thrust inside her, the way not even for a second she clapped her lips and stopped taking his name, resulted in him to bite his lower lip, the way her soft sensitive flesh felt s
