Chapter 17
I was back to my room in a daze. I didn't know what had just gotten into me or Alex. She had always been treating me worse than any other slaves in this house, but all of a sudden, she seemed like a different person. This was too much for my current state of mind. I got a splitting headache overanalyzing everything.
The next day, Alex wanted me downstairs first thing in the morning. I had to get dressed, but all I really needed was to be left alone in my room. Alex also insisted I move to her chamber. It took me a long time to protest the idea.
Finally convinced that I wouldn't run away, she let me have my way. Even if I could escape, where would I go now? I had no one as my refuge anymore, and I still couldn't stop thinking of Anastasia. Where was she at this moment?

We walked through the archway together. I kept glancing around the area. On the other side, I found the most beautiful garden anyone could ever imagine. Every corner of the earth was carpeted with green grass and clusters of white rose bushes. My nose constantly caught the fulfilling smell of sweet fragrance. Magnolias and forsythias bloomed like a sunny harbinger of spring. There were pink and purples flowers hanging from the tree branches. In this strange new world, everything looked freshly alien and beautiful."This place is a delight," I sighed in happiness."I know," Alex said. "I built it.""You did?"She just smiled.Everything seemed alive in this place. Dry

AlexandraIt felt strange finding myself talking so much and so easily with her. It was like the girl had a key to unlock all my past, and she did it without me realizing it. For the first time, my bitter memories didn't feel like asharp stab in my chest anymore. It was just some distant finished events.I felt so free and so alive, like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly.Avery kept staring at me with her jaw hanging."When are you going to close your mouth, Avery?" I said to her. She snapped back to herself again and blinked her eyes."Alex, there's something else I want

AveryIt was already dark when we walked back to the mansion. Alex put her arm around my shoulders all the way. The grass of the garden was damp and slippery from the night dew. I would have fallen on my face if she hadn't held me.Alex could see far better than me in the dark. Her extraordinary night vision made her eyes glow slightly. And instead of looking scary, I found that very fascinating."What?" Alex said when she caught me peering at her for the fourth time."Nothing," I replied."We'll be there sooner if you just concentrate on walking," she said and shook her head at me.

Dinner in a house full of royal vampires was no different than any normal family's dinner, except the food consisted of red juicy meat and blood. The feast itself was enough to feed an entire village. I had never seen so much food like this ever since the war ended.My seat was next to Alex's. She was sipping her red wine at the head of the table.At last, Anastasia came down and took a seat opposite me. I was relieved that a whole roasted pig with an apple stuck in its mouth provided me enough coverage. I didn't want to face her.We heard the sound of high-heels echoed sharply from the hall. Nikol floated into view, but I kept my eyes glued to my plate as she walked to us. Nikol was wearing a long flowing white dress with a neck so low, she reminded me of a character

AnastasiaIwalked into my room and I felt like I wanted to tear down everything in sight. Alex just couldn't do that again. Not to Avery. I was always the one to clean up the mess she left behind. Nikol was a good example of it. Now Avery was going to be her next victim. How could she be so heartless and ignorant?Nikol appeared. She stood by the door with her arms crossed."You do care about that human girl, don't you?" she said. I didn't want to answer her. I didn't want to talk to anyone. All I could think of was Avery. I had come back worried sick about her, wondering how Alex had been treating her in my absence.But things

AveryIn the time of a vampire apocalypse, I never thought I could survive as long as I did now. It was a hell on earth, but I had found a new kind of hell. It burned you from the inside out. It would have been better if I wasn't bought into the Romanov House.Everything would be over quickly and less painful.I felt like my life only existed in a glass box again. All things happened around me, but I had no control over any of it. As in the case of today, I opened my door to find Anastasia standing before me. My heart just stopped. I guess I was having a mini heart attack."Shhh..." she hushed, putting an index finger to her lips. She

AnastasiaIreached Alex's office and waved the guards away. They bowed and left the hall. I didn't even bother to knock before I got in. Alex was sitting on her wide antique desk in front of a large window. Victor was standing beside her chair while she was reading some files. He bowed when he saw me, but Alex didn't even look up."What brought you here, sister?" she said with an expression of a brick wall."Alex, we need to talk," I told her."About what?"I turned to Victor. Our eyes met, and he understood then left the room.

AveryThe room was brighter than usual. There was a different chill to it too. It was quite welcoming in a way that I wanted to curl up into a ball and never leave. Then this rare thought surprised me. Why did I feel comfortable in Alexandra's chamber? I should be anxious or even scared.Instead, all I harbored in my heart was this cozy calmness.Alex had sent for me again this evening. Of course, I couldn't refuse her order.Most of the curtains were now opened. I noticed the uplifting change after I walked into her room. I wandered further and found Alex sitting on the bench of her black piano. She looked like she was in some deep t
