Sophia's Pov:On our way back to the palace, I kept looking at him without him trying much. He kept stirring feelings I don't know I have out of me. Sometimes I will keep looking at his lips longing to feel them on mine, "what is happening to me?" All those things that my family deprived me of, as a child and gave my sister, the expensive beautiful dress, pieces of jewellery, shoes and coming to an expensive restaurant for dinner, Xavier made it possible without me asking. "Hey""Is anything the matter?" Xavier asked "No, my king, nothing is wrong""Why then do you keep staring at me like that?""Did I do anything you don't like?" "No, you did nothing to me""I… I don't know how to say thank you for the gift you bought for me, nobody has ever done that for me" for once in my entire life I feel like I matter to someone.He brought my head to rest on his shoulder while running his hand through my hair. "You smell divine" Xawhisperedeperd, I relaxed more on his body it felt like I wa
Sophia's Pov:When the royal doctor left, the king suggested that I should stay over at his chamber so that he can take proper care of me. I didn't want to, but who am I to say no when my whole body was yearning to be closer to the king "This is our room, feel free to do anything you wish to. And yes, I am thinking you could pack your things in the order room in my chamber since you have accepted to be my woman there will be no need for us to stay in a different roomI was stupefied. "Don't give me an answer now. I want you to think about it and let me know your decision I will respect anything you say" he said, standing up from where he was sitting to the Ensuite bathroom I'm taking a shower, you are free to join me if you want? He made an open invitation. I saw his fingers move to the buttons of his shirt slowly unbuttoning them. I swallowed the lump in my throat and divert my eyes away from the sight of his hard chest."N-no.. I'll check out the balcony".I almost faltered my st
Xavier's Pov:When I left her in the room, I came to my private chamber for me to stay and calm myself. I was mad at myself because I haven't been doing things that will make her see that she is something more than a slave or pet to me I sat down wondering why she would say such a thing to me when I am only trying to console her over the bad dream she had. Then, I decided to introduce her to elders and important personalities in my clan. My mind is filled with the image of her back in the master's suite. The look on her face while she was sleeping aroused a feeling of weakness in my heart. Nothing else matters now to me except for her happiness which I will give to her no matter the consequences. That same night my right-hand man George came to remind me about the royal inauguration and birthday ceremony the Northern chief will be having. I told him to organise everything so that we will set our journey in the morning.When I came inside the room the next day, I saw her still slee
Sophia's pov: I was dancing with Xavier when I felt like someone was staring at me. I looked around and couldn't see anybody. I continued to dance, only for me to meet with a pair of eyes looking at me with so much curiosity. I couldn't see the person very well. I was still in shock because the person staring at me had no pupils, the eyes were just white like a cloud. The person was wearing a black cloak with a touch of gold in it and covered their hair with it. I was distracted from the person when Xavier bends over my ear and whispers to me "I thought you said that you don't know how to dance my lady," my face immediately turned red. I had to look away from him and back to the mysterious person earlier but to my surprise, the person was longer there. I excused myself from Xavier immediately after the dance. I told him that I want to make use of the restroom, he smiled and told me that I should go but shouldn't waste much because he needs me close to his side all the time.
Sophia's pov:I was walking through the dark when I felt someone's presence behind my back, I slowly turned but didn't see anyone around. I continued to walk home telling myself that possibly my mind is being the one playing tricks on me. On reaching my cabin, I felt that feeling again. I quickly turned my back, and then I saw two people following me. I began to run towards my house when I heard a gunshot. I stopped running then. Slowly veering around, I felt my bones cringe in terror as I noticed the two guys that were following me are now dead and beside them is another person lying on the floor with blood covering his whole body. Their whole bodies were slashed with their blood shattering on the ground but something was off about the third guy. I didn't see him with the other two guys, so tell me where exactly he came from. I gulped nervously as my eyes darted around the whole place searching for the person that could be behind their sudden death. My hands were vibrating, I c
Xavier's pov: My name is Xavier Fernandes, A full-blooded vampire from the Dracula lineage and the head vampire of my clan. Vampires, they said, cannot walk during the day, because we react to the sun, but due to the nature of my blood which my people call the Golden Blood, I can walk around during the day and more perfectly at nightfall I took over my father's throne after he was killed by his half-brother, my uncle Donald Fernandes who plotted his death with his allies, after which he ruled my clan for 300 years before I dethroned him and killed some of his men while my uncle and some of his allies went missing with nobody knowing where they went to, I searched for him, everywhere but he was nowhere to be found. I hated myself because I couldn't kill the person that murdered my father. I hated him so much that I began to hate people around me, losing my emotions in the process. I only drive satisfaction when I impose pain on someone or kill them making sure I suck the life from t
Sophia's POV: Early in the morning the next day, I woke up feeling tired. Yesterday's night was hectic. With everything that happened and how I went to bed on an empty stomach, I walked out of the room, hearing People's voices. Slowly I got downstairs to the sitting room and saw my mom and my dad tied together.I scanned the whole room and saw four men holding Stella down with a gun while she was crying, pleading for them to leave our parents.Then a scary-looking man with one eye and an eye patch on the left, who seems like the leader of those four guys talking to father while he was begging him to let go of his wife and daughter. Still, trying to understand the whole thing going on when I heard my mother's voice "take her and leave our child" my father followed immediately pleading with the man to take me and leave Stella. I was dumbstruck. Instead of my parents looking for a way to settle the matter, they want to give me away. "Why?" I asked myself, why are they always treating
Xavier's Pov "How is my mom doing today?" I asked the doctor, "She is responding well to treatment" He said Alright, I went inside my room, thinking about my link. Ever since I saw her, she has been in my head. I want her so much. Was still in my thoughts when my right-hand man came in "My king!" he called, "Have you heard anything concerning her?" I asked "Yes, my king! "Heard she was given away to Marcel the gambler by her family" I was very furious," How dare he touch what is mine?" "Why?" I snapped! "I don't know" my king "Find out why and where they took her! And let me know immediately" I told him. "Yes!", my king and he left "Why would her parents do such a thing?" I asked myselfI felt the urge to smash something, and at that moment the feeling was much that I had to smash the golden swan porcelain at the centre of the table in my sitting room. Immediately my phone rang, I picked it up, and my right-hand man's voice came. "Any news?"I asked, begin optimistic"Yes!" My
