Chapter 40
Chapter 40:Lancelin’s P.O.VI had been admired and praised countless time in my five hundred and seventy two years of existence. Several women had named me their idol and worshiped me. Artists have called me their muse and painted and sculpted my images on several streets, several galleries across the world.But nothing brought me the amount of satisfaction as I felt while Sanaya’s eyes travelled up and down my body. She eyed the tattoo of the phoenix I had in my left forearm. Her cheeks turned pink as she watched the water droplets dripping down to my skin and down my abdomen. However, I didn’t like it when her eyes glued on the bullet scar on my chest.The mages at the hospital had forced me to drink several of their elixirs but they could only do so much. Once I’d fed, the healing process will begin naturally. But now that I was with Sanaya, feeding sounded like a derogatory term. Making love&h

Chapter 41:Sanaya’s P.O.VI woke up from my slumber when a ray of sun fell on my eyes.I opened my eyes to find the entire room illuminated with the sun’s rays as Lancelin seemed to have opened the curtains to the windows at the head of his bed. I could hear Lance’s soft breathing from behind me and the heaviness of his arm on my waist was a welcome weight telling me that he was alright.I took a second to look around the room as I snuggled deeper into the covers. The theme might be a dark one but it didn’t appear gloomy. There was a kind of comfort in the darkness. And in the morning light, I could see a pop of colour here and there that I hadn’t noticed before. Like the red roses on a jar on top of a side table or the small painting hanging from the wall of him and Acelin. This was home with not just a roof over his head or a bed to sleep in, but a heart and warmth.“Good morn

Chapter 42:Lancelin’s P.O.V“You called, father?” I entered his chambers after knocking on the huge iron doors.I knew that these doors were not just bulletproof but also spelled by mages against any supernatural attack. My father was paranoid and it wasn’t just because he was the King. He has his fair shares of skeletons in the closet. And that is why Castel Estella is a fortress, surrounded on all sides by extremely capable guards as well as mage barriers.“Ah! There you are!” He answered from his bed, sitting only in a red, velvet night robe, surrounded by several of our scantily clothed human servants.My brother and I were both mirror images of our fathers. And anyone who saw Nathaniel Eustein would notice that immediately. Sometimes people mistook us for one another. He and I had the same dark hair, the same fair complexion, height, built and face cutting. The only differe

Chapter 43:Sanaya’s P.O.V“Have you packed everything?” My mother handed me a steaming mug of coffee as she took a seat at the edge of my bed.“Yes…I think so.” I sighed but gladly accepted the coffee and took a gulp of it, burning the roof of my tongue. I couldn’t help it; I was stressed!“So…I might be able to help but is this just a ‘little outing with friends’ like you told me or is it something else.” My mother raised an eyebrow at me and I knew very well that she already knew this was no outing with friends.“It’s Lancelin’s coronation.” I confessed.“Ah!” Mother exclaimed. “So that’s what all this preparation is about! Oh dear! You’re going to a coronation! Show me what you’ve packed. You’ll need the best dresses you can get your hands on.”“I&

Chapter 44:Sanaya’s P.O.VThe royal courtyard was humongous and probably the most bewildering and well kept garden I’d ever seen in my life.There was not a single flower absent from this garden and I was very sure some of the flowers I saw were rumored to be extinct. The air lingered with a fragrance so sweet that I wanted to bottle it up and preserve its sweetness forever. This palace was completely removed from time and maybe it truly was because as far as I had been told, each dimension was created on a different time frame. Sanctium was supposed to be where time stood still.However, as much as I wanted to avoid her, my eyes kept shifting to the magnificent woman walking beside me. Valleria Eustein.Today she wore a silk gown in a blue so gorgeous; I couldn’t find an appropriate name for it. It was the colour of the sky on a cloudless morning. In fact it looked like she had cut out a piece o

Chapter 45:Sanaya’s P.O.VLance pushed me back against the closed door to his room and an instant later, his lips were on mine.It had hardly been three days since I last saw him but it felt like an eternity. I was craving for his touch, my entire body aching in need. So when Lance finally pushed my jacket off my shoulders and pulled me into his arms, I found my oasis.I unbuttoned his jacket and pushed it off his shoulder and together with his help, unbuttoned the first few buttons of his shirt before we both got impatient and shifted our attention to other important parts.Lance lifted me up with a grip on my waist and I hoisted my legs up, wrapping them around his waist as he once again pushed me up against the door. Lance pushed up my dress to my waist before unbuckling his belt.Just when I thought I’d finally find my release, he pulled back his lips, looking behind us at the king sized bed

Chapter 46:Sanaya’s P.O.V“This is pure bliss!” Alina moaned as she dunked her head under water and came up for air a few moments later. Amber had to answer an urgent call so she wasn’t able to join us but Alina had kept me company.From what Lance had told me, she was a newly turned vampire who was still adjusting to the immortal world, so in many ways, she was like me. We were even of the same age, although her body was now frozen at twenty-five, the year she was transformed and will remain so for a very long time. Immortals aged like stone. We know that it’ll eventually turn to soil, but that transformation will take eons to fully come to effect.As for Lancelin, he and I had to be separated after we were interrupted because I was being tossed from one of his family member to another; being hugged and pampered and interrogated at the same time and never in my life had I felt so loved. It

Chapter 47:Sanaya’s P.O.V“Sanaya, stop fidgeting!” Amber scolded in a stern voice. “I’m trying to paint your eyes and you’re going to ruin my masterpiece.”I sucked in a breath and let it out slowly, trying to calm my nerves. Once I felt a bit more steady, I nodded and sat still, placing my hands on my lap with my eyes still closed as Amber did my eye makeup.Alina and I had parted after we had finished our bath and Amber had been there to escort me back to my room where she had immediately began working on drying my hair. It had taken half an hour to dry completely and then Amber had begun working on curling my hair. After almost two painful hours of enduring the heat, my hair was in gorgeous loose curls and Amber had also braided a few strands of my hair in such a fashion that it looked like a braided hair band on top of my head. It helped keep my hair out of my face and gave

Chapter 48:Sanaya’s P.O.V“Hi…” My voice sounded breathless to my ears.A smile lit up Lancelin’s face slowly, his eyes turning a bright shade of amber.He was dressed in a crème colored suit jacket and pants with a white shirt underneath and the white suite was embroidered in gold designs, similar to the designs on my dress. His hair was gelled and brushed back and that little bit of difference in hair styling gave him a whole new look that I loved. As an immortal, I don’t think Lance could ever look any less dashing but today, he seemed to be radiating happiness.“You look beautiful.” We both said at the same time and ended up laughing.“I’m nervous as hell.” I confessed to him as I went into his arms when Lance closed the door behind him and came forward.“I’ll tell you a secret,” Lance held me close to his

Chapter 49:Sanaya’s P.O.VTrumpets sounded as the doors were opened slowly, pushed aside by heavily muscled guards on either side of the door. What lay inside took my breath away.The throne room was ginormous and it was filled with people and from the looks of it, there were over a thousand people inside the room and I realized that almost everyone were immortal. They were standing in two rows, leaving a large space in the middle through which people could walk down the aisle to the thrones at the very end of the room.The thrones were just like the ones I had seen in movies and they appeared to be made of gold. The king and queen were already seated on the throne and both were dressed in white. Queen Valleria was dressed in a dove white gown with diamonds encrusted all over the dress. Her hair cascaded down to her waist in loose ringlets and a diamond tiara graced her head, shining brighter than the sun. A smile
