Ch-4
Adira was about to run away from that place. She thought she could just hide from everyone, using her brother as her shield. But everything is messed up! Can’t she even have a breather from all this?
When she took her first step to run, she mistakenly stepped on the tail of her behaviors her eyes, she was sure that she would kiss the ground. She expected that she would fall to the ground from the moment she saw these high heels. She has a habit of wearing eight-inch or ten-inch heels but these were twelve-inch heels. She felt like she was walking on ice, rather than on the red carpet. She already had expected that she would fall to the ground at the start but falling in this situation was too embarrassing. People would say that Werewolf Princess Adira fell for the Vampire King.
Not good!
Sighing… she anticipated the most awaited. worst fall of her life. But no matter how long she waited, she didn’t fall. Two pairs of strong hands were held in her place.
She opened her eyes and met with her brother’s eyes. “Thanks, brother,” she mouthed to him with a smile that reached her eyes.
He motioned her to look at another side. “Thanks,” she said lowering her head not daring to into his eyes.
Maximus retracted his hand from her when he felt she realized it. “I didn’t expect that Elisaveta family couldn’t even arrange a maid for the princess to hold her skirt,” a middle-aged woman said.
“I didn’t expect that a maid can insult a royal in the kingdom of Velorine. I guess we have to rethink the pact we made. Here we treat the princess like a queen. If a maid can raise her voice in the presence of the royals of Elisaveta then I can imagine her life in Velorine. We will have another discussion about this. Let’s put this pact on hold till then,” Maximus said and picked his sister in the bridal style to carry her away.
The werewolves who were there in the crowd started growling at the words of Maximus as if they were showing their respect. Even the elders of the Werewolf kingdom said nothing against Maximus’ words. They didn’t like this woman bossing them around, saying that she was the mother of the future queen of the Lycan king. They just endured it for the sake of their both kingdoms but now looks like their king was not even ready to make the peace at the expense of their female.
Zaros Orpheus Velorine and Lenora Serafina Velorine were half-siblings. Lenora was born from the affair. King Velorine lusted over a maid once and as a result, Lenora came into the picture. The maid was none other than the woman who insulted Adira.
Lenora was already feeling nervous. From the time she was born, she saw her mother trying to use her as a tool to become the empress of the Velorine empire. But the mother of Zaros was kind, smart, and beautiful. She was lenient towards Lenora but not to her mother, She never let her mother win with tricks. Ophelia tried hard to get the throne but she was just a maid with a few tricks, while the noble Queen, Vampiress Eudora clementine Dee was sophisticated, well educated, and smart. She knew how to subdue people with a flick of her hands. Ophelia was made into a concubine first, but with her plotting against Queen Eudora, she lost her rankings one by one. If not for Lenora begging’s she would have been beheaded or killed.
Now… Ophelia was so happy with this pact. She didn’t care whether the pact was beneficial to the two races or not. She only cared that it was useful to her. Because if Lenora marries the Werewolf Kingdom, she wants to lose her job as a maid and wants to be treated like Queen Eudora.
So… she decided to get her to leading hold from the start. Even though she never ruled a country of people, she knew that these people won’t dare to say anything due to the pact and her daughter would be the queen of the Lycan king, they all wanted to get on the good side of her. So… in an attempt to rein her footing she decided to nail her hopes on Adira. Because she heard Adira was a half-sister of Maximus. So… she thought that she would be treated like how Lenora was treated by Zaros. Even though Eudora, the Vampire Queen never showed any partiality to Lenora, Zaros never had a good relationship with her due to unknown reasons.
They were good in the start but as years passed something happened between them that led to the displeasure of Queen Eudora and Zaros. From then on she was fallen from the title of princess. No one knew why her title as Princess was taken down but no one mentioned it.
Ophelia beat Lenora to the point that she couldn’t get up from the bed for a week. But no one came, even the number of maids under her was reduced. Lenora was known as the fallen Princess of the Vampire Kingdom.
Her days weren’t good in the palace, she was plotted against many times by others, but she said nothing after her title was taken away. Despite Queen Eudora being angry with her, she always stood by the truth and righteousness side. So, her name was cleared. But that doesn’t mean she never suffered. Even the suitors she had, had gone away, she was called the leftover princess.
At that time, this pact was for her salvation. Even though she didn’t want to marry the Lycan king, she has no choice. The walls of the Vampire Kingdom were suffocating, but she couldn’t escape it. Now… maybe she has to transfer into this kingdom and suffocate more.
Lenora sighed at her real mother’s brainless action. The present Royal mother of the Vampire kingdom, Eudora, shook her head in disappointment.
“My Lycan king, I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to dissolve the pact just because of one snarky comment,” Eudora said.
“Her Highness, Please forgive me for my rudeness. Nothing matters to me more than my sister,” he said.
“A good king would never say that,” an elder from the Vampire royal family said.
“If a person can’t even protect their family member, then one has to question his ability to protect their kingdom,” he said which shut the mouth of Vampires.
Ch-5 “King Elisaveta… we will take good care of your sister,” an elder said. “I can see how well you are going to take care of her from your current behaviour,” Maximus said. Adira wanted to say something but she shut her mouth. She gripped his hand tightly, hinting for him to stop. Maximus looked at her, their eyes met. Her eyes held a pleading look. He wanted to ruffle her hair, she just looked like a cute puppy. But as much as he loves her… he understands her better than others. She was saying that she was fine and she could bear it. But how could he let her bear it when he was still present. He might not be able to get her justice when she travels to the Vampire Kingdom… but he can protect her and get the justice she deserves when she is w
Ch-6 Lenora’s words shocked everyone in the hall. She not only surprised Werewolves but also Vampires. Ophelia was shocked too. She never thought that her daughter would be this heartless. Maximus smirked at her actions. He could understand what she was trying to say. She was trying to tell her that she was no lesser of a person than her. A beauty with brains was surely trouble and his future wife was exactly that. Ophelia gritted her teeth and kowtowed thrice in front of Adira. “Princess Adira, she is yours to punish if you are still not satisfied,” Lenora said with a gentle smile. Her features softened when she saw the expression on Lenora’s face. She looked gentle, harmless, and in
Ch-7 “Looks like you don’t like crowds, My Lady,” Lenora heard a voice saying to her. Her heart skipped a bit looking at him. “Yes, your highness. I like quiet places,” she answered him. “I can see that,” Maximus said as he tried to control the trembling nerves. His wolf was asking him to claim Lenora as his mate. This thing never happened to him. His first mate died unexpectedly without any reason. There were no leads to find the culprit too. From then, his wolf has always been aggressive and rejected every female who came to him. But, he asked him to claim her. How could a Lycan have a second mate? He needs to go through the Lycan history books or meet a witch. She wore a white dres
Ch-8 Lenora and Maximus returned to the ball. Now, the soon-to-be couples have to dance with their partners for the opening dance. Both men were adorned in black suits. Zaros was adorned with a Charcoal black suit, with his hair partitioned and jelled back showing his beautiful facial features. Maybe because of the royal blood in his veins, he wasn’t sickly pale like the other vampires. He looked handsome. “Would you like to dance with me, My lady?” Zaros asked as he forwarded his hand to her. Adira just smiled at him and forwarded her hand to him. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw him closer which was caught by his sharp ears. A smile formed on his face, when he realized that he was having an effect on her, he felt like he was flying in clouds. His heart leaped in joy. He wanted to laugh, yell and shout but he ke
Ch-9 “What is it, Angel?” Maximus asked. Adira felt like everything was a dream. Was it the reason why she couldn’t find her mate? She was confused. But if she says Zaros was her some people might use that as her advantage and makes her life miserable. But she doesn’t trust anyone as much as she trusted her brother. “Brother,” she ran into his arms and buried herself in his hug. Adira shivered in his hug. Maximus knew something was wrong with her. Whenever she have troubles she would come to him and hug him. If the trouble was big she would shiver. He wondered what kind of problem she was having. Or was she not able to process this marriage thing? Did Zaros do something to his princes
Ch-10 Adira felt someone touching her kissing and caressing her. Opening her eyes, she only saw fluttering curtains in her room. There was no one in her sight. Was that her imagination? Maybe. Or maybe it’s the effect of her wedding jitters. She got up and drank some water before going back to her bed. But sleep was far away from her. All she could think was about her Vampire Husband’s scent and his touches. He wasn’t pale like others. Even his sister looked like a normal human. She wondered what’s the thing with these both brother and sister. They have something different which made her curious about them. Also, she
Ch-11Serene brought a midnight blue dress for Adira to wear. It's a long dark midnight blue tulle dress that reached the floor. It’s an A-line silhouette dress with a sweetheart neckline. And her tight corset accentuated her upper body curves showing her well-grown breasts cup size while revealing her slim waist. Even though Adira felt suffocated, she just grits her teeth till she finishes her breakfast. The dress was decorated with pleat slashes and with a small bow belt attached to the waistline with a lace-up hemline.She wore a simple lower bun grazing her hair with beautiful pearls. Applying minimal makeup along with her red lipstick, she gave one last look to herself in the mirror.That’s when her eyes fell on the intricate wooden box on her ta
Ch-12“Uff… Mom! You know what? I am Hungry!” Adira said and turned around only to bump into a wall.Rubbing her forehead, she lifted her head to see the magical wall in front of her.“Ouch,” she said slightly.“My Lady, Would you like to join the table?” Zaros asked with amusement in his voice.Adira cast her eyes downwards biting her lips for the embarrassment she made.“Way to ruin the day again,” she murmured in her low voice.
