“Allen?” Lozia asked, trying to confirm that he was the person Fera was referring to“Yeah. I don't trust him. He sticks too close to her,”“Don’t I still close to you too,” Lozia thought, not daring to say his thoughts out loud.“Were you able to deliver the letter?” Fera suddenly asked, remembering the main reason Lozia was away in the first place.“Yeah, they got the letter,” Lozia replied. The last thing he wanted to describe was the shameful way it had been stolen from him.Fera simply nodded, walking even faster than before in the direction of the palace. All she wanted to do was get back to her room and toss away the riding clothes that she wore, coupled with the memories of today.Hurai and Allen were the first to get back to their quarters, with Allen carrying Hurai in his arms and racing back to her quarters at full speed.He didn’t drop her back on her feet until they got back to her room.“Thanks, Allen. You can leave now,” Hurai said with a tired expression on her face, wa
Breakfast the next day between King Horansi and his family and that of King Locan and his own was pretty quiet until someone broke the silence.Her voice was loud and clear enough for everyone to hear.“Father…” Hurai began, watching King Horansi’s gaze land and stay on her, a little surprised to see the determined gaze with which Hurai looked at him.“Father…I would like to train with the knights,” Hurai finally said. Her eyes were resolute, saying all she wanted in one breath, watching her father the king squint his eyes a little in displeasure.Fera sitting beside Hurai was still reeling from the shock she had just experienced at listening to Hurai ask their father for permission to train.The first reason was that even if they were vampires they were also princesses and the most likely response they would get is no.The second is the fact Hurai dared to ask him such a request unexpectedly and in front of everyone.Wasn’t she afraid of being rejected, Fera thought, turning her face
Not knowing what else to do about the error she had made, she decided to brush it off and simply went ahead to sit down.She had long ago come to terms with the fact that her father didn’t favor her, so continuing to try to get in his good graces was a lost cause.Seeing her sister Hurai get what she wanted, San seeing that her father was already preparing to leave the hall, Fera decided that she couldn’t let such an opportunity go.At first, she wanted to stay quiet with the intention of asking him in private to gain more of his favor but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the possibility of him saying no was too high for her to let go of an opportunity to get closer to Kal.“Father…” Fera said, jumping to her feet.If King Horansi hadn’t been conscious of his identity as king, he would have groaned out loud simply because of how annoyed he currently felt at that moment.“Ha…ha. Perfect!” King Locan belted out loud with a grin on his face as he looked favorably at F
Darun walked as quickly as he could in the direction of his quarters, wanting nothing more than to be alone, before he had to go and watch his sister's train.While he walked he was slightly distracted, more focused on his thoughts that he was unaware of when someone suddenly grabbed his hands and pulled him to the side and into a narrow corridor that was completely different from where he was headed.“What the…” Darun swore, shocked that someone would treat him in such a way but that was until his eyes landed on Geran’s face pulling Darun’s body close to his chest.Instantly Darun reacted with a pissed-off look on his face, as he struggled to separate himself from the crazy vampire standing in front of him.“ARE YOU mad?” Darun began helping, instantly reducing his tone to a whisper the second he realized that the last thing he wanted was for the servants to see him and Geran in such a position.“Truthfully…I think I’m heading there,” Geran responded with a sincere expression on his f
“What? What else do you want?” Darun seethed in anger, no longer seeing any reason to hide it.“Isn’t yours next year?” Geran asked mostly out of plain curiosity since he thought that only his twin sister's ceremony was coming up.“I’m bringing it forward, apparently I’ll be joining the war,” Darun replied, feeling a bitter taste in his mouth at the mention of war.“Isn’t that dangerous?” Geran asked with a highly concerned look on his face when he said it. He knew that there were rules and from the annoyed look on Darun’s face, he felt that the decision about bringing it forward was most likely not made by him.Geran’s question though and the look of concern on his face only served to piss Darun off the most.“If I didn’t know better I’d think that he cared about me,” Darun thought, his face squeezing up into a deep frown.“I’ll be fine. I’ll fulfill my promise after that,” Darun said, looking up to meet Geran’s eyes as he spoke.He had a completely serious look on his face, one that
Kal spent most of his time trying to figure out the best way to ensure that Geran was no longer engaged to Hurai but to him.The engagement party was in three days, and Kal needed to do it before then. If he did it after the ceremony it would be so much harder than before.The engagement wasn’t simply an engagement both to vampires and werewolves. It was almost as important as being officially married or mated to one’s partner.There were many ideas that he came up with only to settle for the most unethical one he could think of.He needed to make Geran sleep with Fera. Normally it wouldn’t be difficult to achieve since he didn’t particularly care who he slept with but from spying on his brother, he had noticed how he rarely slept with anyone anymore.This made Kal wonder who he was secretly sleeping with and if not, why he had suddenly become celibate.To achieve this, the simple plan he could come up with was to make Fera drink an aphrodisiac and have her be in a room with Geran.He
“This is all a facade and allowing ourselves to get close to each other would only end up hurting the both of us in the end,” Hurai whispered with a sad expression in her eyes but the conviction in her voice was apparent.“I’ll come over and we’ll talk…” but he was still talking when he heard the distinct sounds of footsteps, not all that surprised to look up and behind Hurai to see Geram walking in with a lazy expression on his face, his sheathed sword in his hand as he walked towards them.“What are you guys talking about?” Geran asked with a curious look on his face, coming to a stop about a foot away from where Kal and Hurai stood facing each.Geran didn’t particularly care but seeing that whatever they had been talking about still rattled Kal made him very happy, happy enough to want to find out at all costs what he could be.He waited for a few seconds in silence, not shocked that Kal had completely ignored his presence, which just made Geran want to piss him off the most.“Today
Kal’s attention was on her even more throughout the whole training period and Fera didn’t mind. She even welcomed it with a smile, with hopes that such a phenomenon would continue.Time moved quickly, and before anyone knew it, it was evening and time for the training session to end.The evening dinner bell for the knights rang loudly to signify the end of their training which was also the end of Fera and Hurai’s training.The moment they stopped, doing their best to wipe away the sweat sticking to their faces, they were both glad to see a servant come in and serve them glasses of chilled water for them to take.The first to be given was Fera and Kal even though we were the farthest from the door before Geran and Hurai were given, with Kal’s gaze fixed on Fera as she gulped the water in the glass before returning the glass.“Prince Kal…” Fera began speaking to him with a gentle smile on her face the second she returned her empty glass to the servant, intent on taking advantage of Kal’s
