Alexander licked his lips and turned to look at me, his face unreadable. I wondered why he was feeding again, but I knew that was the last thing I should be speaking about with him. Our relationship was more important, and we had to sort this argument out. "Can we fix things, please?" I asked him, watching as he walked over to the bed and sat on it. He nodded and faced me, waiting for me to give him an apology, most likely. I opened my mouth, no words coming out of my mouth. What exactly would I be apologizing for? For missing Silas? For wanting to stick to my decision and wake him up? For acting like the queen I am by not submitting to him? "I'm sorry for using my powers on you." I said to him. That was my flaw. I shouldn't have lost my temper. I was supposed to be able to control my powers, especially since they could spiral out of control. I could have endangered him, myself, and everyone inside the castle with me. He looked confused, "Is that the only mistake you're acknowled
"I've decided to wake Silas up." At least fifteen pairs of multicolored eyes looked back at me, all emotions swirling through them different. Some held some sort of shock, a tinge of worry. Some were pleased to hear this but also very curious. I leaned back on my chair and placed the cup of steaming hot tea I was drinking on the long table. I was currently seated with the rest of the house heads. All types of creatures were here. I didn't want Silas' revival to be a surprise to anyone. I was trying hard to establish equality here. Valedria looked over to his son, trying to read his expression. I did the same at the corner of my eye. I haven't said anything to him after last night when he decided to push me away. He had no idea I would actually go through with this. Sei was also amongst the group, standing behind Alexander as his guard. He looked shocked, which was better than the fury I could sense from his king. I kept my head high, feeling Kaiser's hand landing on my shoul
"Look at you doing the walk of shame." Kaiser snickered. I stopped walking and glared at him, making him only laugh loudly. "I see you and Alexander have made up, very nicely by the looks of it.""Can you shut up," I grumbled. "He's my husband, there's nothing wrong with copulating with him." "Not if it's going to smell throughout the hallways. We're creatures with strong senses." He said with a shrug. I looked at him, suddenly remembering something. "When are you getting a girlfriend?"Kaiser coughed loudly at my question and I looked at with wide eyes. "That's none of your business.""Oh but my sex life is totally your business.""It is if I'll be walking into a conference room smelling like your arousal." "Ew," I slapped his arm. "Don't ever say that again."Kaiser grinned and we walked outside. It was time for training. I wanted to be the strongest to ever walk on this land. That way I could protect my kingdom and my people."Today I'll be fighting you." I said to Kaiser, pointi
"Come on, just work!""Freaking work!" I screamed in frustration. I slumped down on the floor, feeling exhausting wash over me. I stared at Silas' body, still cold and lifeless on the hospital bed. I had tried all types of spells I had learned, nothing seemed to be working for him.I even tried to remove the energy of the vortex that had consumed him. To my dismay, it didn't even seem to exist anymore. It's like it had faded on its own. Otherwise, his body was completely untouched. No single organ damaged. There was nothing to reassemble, it was all intact.I placed my hand in my forehead, feeling my head throbbing. I was just two hours after midnight and me overusing my powers was weakening me, making me want to close my eyes and sleep. I shook my head and attempted to stand up, falling back down when even my legs gave in on me.Taking a deep breath, I got on my knees, trying my ease my way up. It was difficult, but if I did it slowly I would get up successfully. I heard the door op
The atmosphere was cold and felt heavy, the area it was surrounding being secluded. This specific section of the building had not just a dense atmosphere, but it had an eery feeling to it. It made countless waves of chills run down my spine and all of my muscles tense up. The only sound you could hear was the constant, hurried clicking noise our heels made as we speedwalked on the white tiles cemented the ground.My honey brown eyes darted to my co-worker, who was slightly taller than me. Her aburn hair was tied up into a neat ponytail, her blue eyes widened in curiosity and fear. I could see that her pace was slowing down as we neared our destination. She was hesitating, but that did not surprise me as she was one of the most fearful people I have had the pleasure of knowing.It still shocked me though, to see her once curious expression dissipating into the cold air.I looked right were her eyes were glued and came to a halt. We had arrived. We both stared at the large, heavy lookin
"Alright, this is the tablet you'll use to record everything you find on him. Even the smallest of details must be written down. Then at the end of each week, we'll come check on you and see his behavior. Make sure that you send us all of your findings as soon as possible." Damien said, handing me one of the tablets he was holding. He kept the second one, which I'm assuming was meant for Sharlene, and tucked it under his arm. The rules were all explained to me. It was not much and most of them were something I've already heard. I wasn't allowed to say anything to anyone, now that included Sharlene. Each week, Damien would take one day and help me around with the research and at any random moment, the government would burst through those doors to see if there's been any new information."You must always be ready with information because they will kick you off the case if there's no new development." Damien explained, his light blue eyes staring me from head to toe.Another thing was
Steel grey eyes stared back at me, the only thing that filled them was death and what looked like malicious intent. It seemed like I had interrupted his sleep, or maybe this whole time he had been trying to ignore me and my proding on his hair killed the last bit of his patience. I couldn't tell which was which, I was too shocked and he looked like he was ready to rip my guts out of my body.He had a wild look in his eyes, like he was thinking of every painful thing he'd like to do to me. How could such beautiful, unique eyes look so feral? I noticed that his grey eyes had tiny red specks in them. Now that is a colour combination I have never seen before. I forgot all about the shock I had just felt and quickly jotted that down in the tablet, making him growl again.I looked back up at him and he gave me a shocked look. Now he was the surprised one, but why? I never threatened to degut him with my eyes. He growled again, resembling a lion. Oh, I see now. He's trying to scare me. I als
I woke up earlier than usual this morning, probably because I slept earlier than I normally did. Paying no mind to that, I got up and prepared myself for work. I threw my lab coat in the laundry basket. We aren't allowed to take our lab coats outside the work building but yesterday, my head was all over the place and I walked right out without remembering to remove it.I walked into the bathroom and did my business then I took a shower. I washed my long black hair and cleaned my body while humming an unknown tune. It was a way to distract myself from the many thoughts I was getting from just being in the shower. So many inappropriate thoughts..."Anything but Damien, please." I begged my brain. Did it listen? No, because from out of nowhere, Damien walked into the shower and pinned me against the wall, his hot lips connecting with mine. I felt his hand again, slowly trailing higher and higher between my thighs. I spread my legs for him, screaming when I felt his fingers plunging insid
