While, she was sitting on the edge of the bed, trying to calm herself. She heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside. She abruptly stood up, wiped her tears, and sat down on the bed. Though, it clearly seemed like she went through something. Her eyes were red, the veil was gone and hair was in a little disheveled condition. She took a deep breath in order to calm her abnormal breathing, trying her best to act normal, like nothing happened because she knew Jasper would never understand or believe her even if she told him the truth.He would think just like everyone else.Granny has strictly told her not to disclose this matter to Jasper, no matter what. Probably because she thought he would start thinking of her as 'crazy' and might regret making her, his queen.Though, she wasn't wrong. Sasha would have retaliated but she didn't because she knew Jasper would never understand her and would most probably act as the old granny predicted.To her, they didn't really have a husband-
All the higher-up royals of the kingdom immediately settled down in the hall to discuss the matter after the bodies were taken away for an examination.There were no injuries on the bodies. They just looked pale and all of them had those weird holes in their necks.A death pattern familiar to those that happened in ancient times.Everyone was tense."I'm afraid, it's them." One of the oldest higher up in them spoke up. He was an old man with a long white beard. "Them, who?" Jasper asked, he was sitting on his throne with a frown on his face. Everyone in the hall knew who the old man was talking about except the king himself."Those blood-sucking monsters that our ancestors had to deal with." The old man stated and Jasper's eyes widened. He immediately understood who the old man was talking about."Vampires?" Jasper asked and all the heads nodded in sync.Everyone became even more tense."I don't like to bring this up but I have to." Another middle-aged man spoke up, gaining everyone's
The gates of the conference hall were opened as she stepped inside. There was no hesitation in her walk but from inside she was nervous. All the pair of eyes turned her way. Some of them eyed her suspiciously and some of them were ashamed of their hostile behavior. This was her first night here as the queen and she was being brought to the conference hall. This was her wedding night, she was supposed to be in her bedroom instead of being questioned here.But the situation was kinda harsh on them as well.Sasha paused in front of Jasper who was sitting on his throne. A familiar scene flashed in her eyes upon seeing him sitting on his throne like that and a zap of shiver ran down her spine. She immediately lowered her gaze and clenched her hands in a tight fist before unclenching them."You called me." She said softly and Jasper nodded while standing up as he walked up to her."I suppose you already know why we called you here," Jasper said and Sasha took a deep breath before matching
With a huff, she descended the stairs but immediately halted on her steps when she heard a few maids gossiping among each other."Yeah, I heard that too." Said maid one."I told you Princess Fiona was a better alternative for our queen than that cursed princess Sasha. Look what bad luck she brought on our kingdom." Another feminine voice came and Sasha's eyes widened.The news was all over.They already labeled her as a cursed princess.Not only that...even compared her with Fiona.Sasha took a deep breath. Their words hurt her deeply but instead of stepping back, she stepped forward, coming into their sight. "You heard what?" Sasha asked while walking up to them and all of them flinched, immediately standing in a proper line and bowing at her."M-My queen." "I asked something. What did you hear?" Sasha asked, staring at them blankly. This was the first time she was even conversing properly with the maids of the castle but the situation was quite bad.They already considered her bad
Sasha looked around the castle and was left a little surprised. It was a castle built in the ancient times. It had a peculiar and very complicated structure but at the same time, it looked ethereal and something adventurous and exciting to live in.In every era, the king rebuilds the castle to his liking. Thus, the structure keeps changing according to the most famous structure that goes around every kingdom. Most of the castle in this era looks very alike because of that but this one looked like it hadn't been changed for a long time.It makes this castle look unique.All of them stepped inside the castle and the inside of the castle was even more ethereal yet perplexing. If you get lost here, you'll barely find your way out. It wasn't rebuilt from the inside either. It made her feel like she was in old times.Even Jasper complimented the castle.While they were making their way to the main hall, they came face to face with the person she least wanted to see but she was obviously ask
In the middle of the night.Sasha tossed and turned on the bed with a frown on her face. She was sleeping just fine until she turned to her right side while half asleep and began to feel uncomfortable and very cold. She pulled the duvet up to her head and curled herself in a ball but that didn't help at all.Why was she even feeling cold when all the windows were closed along with the door? Even though the candles were still lit, she didn't blow them off before sleeping because she was too scared to sleep in the dark ever since weird incidents started to happen to her. With a frown on her face, she slowly blinked her eyes open and got on her elbow. She looked around the room with squinted eyes and realized that the candles were no longer enlightening the room. The room was completely indulged in darkness and just a little moonlight was coming through the slit between the curtains. With a groan, she dropped back on the cushion only for her body to completely freeze.From the corner of
Oh, to that unfortunate day.If she were to know, she would have wished death to consume her.Oh, to that kindness of hers...that led nothing but misery upon her."I've missed you."His voice held nothing but malicious intentions within its tone. He liked the way her face morphed into sheer terror. He liked the way her body trembled as she stepped back in horror. His gaze caressed her form from head to toe ever so slowly before meeting her terrified eyes."Did you miss me?" He asked with a psychotic smile on his face and a gasp of horror raked through her body. She just couldn't believe what she was seeing. She knew something was wrong with him. She knew it yet she couldn't do anything about it.She took a step back, holding her tears back, and with much courage she narrowed her eyes at him making his mouth turn into an 'oh' as if he was very much amused by that glare of hers."Stop looking at me with those eyes unless you want to get f*cked because you see, I'm turned on by that look
"Let's have a little talk now. Shall we?" He said while caressing her back in a sensual manner. Sasha had her head turned to the left with her eyes completely shut. Her chest continued to heave up and down as she was unable to control the sobs that shook her body. She flinched when he grabbed her hair from her right shoulder and pushed it back, putting his chin on her shoulder as his cold breath caressed her neck making her shiver. "Hmm, fucking look at me when I talk to you." He rasped, his hold tightening on her waist. Sasha swallowed thickly and with a deep inhale she blurted out."You are ha-hard to look-k at." An eerie silence surrounded them, only her deep breathing could be heard. No answer or reaction from him had her toes curling in fear as she slowly and hesitantly turned her face to the side to look at him.She shouldn't have dug her own grave when she was to look at him anyway.His face was deadly serious, and his eyes were dark but all of that lasted for a second in f
