Prologue

He was sweating profusely.His heart hammered violently against his chest. The air was hot and humid. He had found refuge in an empty barn he believed was the only place he could be alone to face the devil of what was happening to him.The shadows were threatening to attack and consume him. he could barely make out their figure but he was sure as hell they weren't humans.The rays of light that crept in from the window seemed to be what kept them abay.He was rested against an abandoned wagon that was filled up with hay. It was eerily silent. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead and rolled down his face. When the light from the moon touched those beads, they gave his skin a glistening effect.The light fell over him , revealing the silk white shirt he had on. It was opened at the chest, exposing the rich contours of his smooth chest and his taut muscles. The view came to an end above his navel. His light brown breeches turned deep brown due to the fact that he was sitting on the bare g

1. Glowing Gray Eyes

~ONE MONTH EARLIER~The atmosphere was cold, despite the fact that the sun was shining high in the sky. Maybe it was because of the towering trees that shielded the lives beneath from the sun's warmth. It could have also been because the sun had just begun to take its place in the sky. Or maybe it was because of the emptiness in Mariana Rosette's heart.Mariana's horse trotted through the quiet woods. Her two companions also followed quietly behind her on their horses. No one said a word.Her white mane suddenly neighed. This caused Mariana to reveal the hand that had been hidden safely behind her dark cloak. She placed her palm on its neck and gently caressed it."Not now, Calliope. Be calm," She told the horse.She moved her dark boots slightly on the dark saddle of the horse. The movement caused her brown riding dress to make ruffling sounds. She ignored it.She threw a short glance at her companions again. They were both of the male species and were old enough to be her fathers. T

2. Threatened For Marriage

Mariana Rosette couldn't forget the gray eyes that she had encountered in the woods. Even as the iron gates of her aunt's courtyard came into view. Even as she examined the elegantly constructed mansion in which her aunt resides. Even as the horses came to a stop and she dismounted Calliope, the thought of those intriguing gray eyes never left her head."We're here Lady Mariana," Quin announced behind her.Mariana nodded and threw another scrutinizing stare at the mansion. It was still the way she remembered it when she visited as a child. It stood on its own in its magnificence. It had a rich mixture of expensive and exotic woods from the best parts of the world as well as bricks that decorated some parts of the wall. The house was the family home of the Romans, her mother's home. The Romans never had a male child and with Mariana's mother dead, every riches that they had was inherited by her aunt, Lydia Roman. Lydia was the same person who had become Mariana's new guardian as her

3. Fiery Brown Eyes

There was confusion on his mind as he strolled through the castle corridors.He had tried to get her off his mind. He had tried to forget the incident but no matter what he did, her flawless skin kept coming back to his mind.Lucius made a right turn and spotted the stone stairway that he was about to ascend. Some maids passed by him and giggled suddenly. He chose to ignore them.His mind suddenly took him back to the forest. The only reason why he had been there in the first place was that he had been tracking down one of the beasts that had been terrorizing Asgaria. He had heard of the beast's stories in the pubs and inns that he visited. There had been people turning up missing or dead. The threat had become too much that even before Prince Leonard brought up the matter to him, he had already taken it upon himself to go hunting for it.He subconsciously brought his left hand to the scar on the left side of his face. When he realized what he was doing, he dropped his hand to his sid

4. The Meeting

Mariana's eyes were squeezed shut."What is the name of your horse again? Ah, yes, Calliope. It will be really devastating if some bad misfortune were to befall the poor horse. It's up to you though, if the horse will remain safe or not," Lydia's threat came back to Mariana's thought.It still baffled Mariana that her aunt had dared to threaten her. All this was happening because she was an orphan now. It was happening because those beasts had murdered her parents that day. If her parents had still been alive, then she would have been in the safety of her room, not bothered at all about some rich and spoilt prince that whom her aunt had arranged a marriage for her."I am done my Lady," Leandra whispered.This caused Mariana's eyes to fly open. She had totally forgotten that Leandra was in the room with her. She had forgotten that Leandra had been dressing her hair. She had zoned out to another episode of her many thoughts.Mariana stared at herself in the mirror. She looked different.

5. A Chat Alone

“We have a lot to discuss, let's talk over breakfast," Lydia said as she ushered the prince to the dining area. There was tension in the air, something needed to be done or said to liven the mood her niece has just managed to ruin."That is a good idea," Leonard agreed and he followed Lydia to the dining room.It was like a mini feast. He had heard that Lydia also knew how to play a good host but he had not known to what extent. She really was good at it."Please, do sit here," she gestured and the both men took their seats.Lydia turned to Sarah, Leandra and Cassandra who had been waiting in the room for them. She gave them a small nod and they began serving the Prince.Mariana who had been ignored was about to leave when her aunt gave her a haughty look."Mariana dear, why not serve the prince? I'm sure you could use some practice on being a proper lady because I can tell you've barely had one, a flaw on my sister's part I must say," Lydia said sternly.Mariana almost gritted her tee

6. Hunting The Beast

He stalked through the woods. He was as quiet as ever. He scuffled his feet softly on the the ground. He moved like there weren't thorns in the woods. He listened for any other sound that was unnatural in the forest. He strained his hear for sound. Any sound at all. Lucius felt close to the beast. He had this gut feeling that he was close to taming it. There was a thick fog around him, because it was barely dawn. His cloak gave him some form of cover and the fog hid him well. All of a sudden, he heard a twig snap behind him. He whipped his head to the back immediately to see what it was. It was pointless, his vision was hazy. The forest immediately grew quiet. His heart began race. The hair at his back rose. He felt like he was been watched. Like a prey hiding from its predator. Another twig broke, this time, he didn't bother checking to see what it was. He swiftly moved away from the spot he had been. He felt a presence around him. He couldn't shake the feeling of danger. From

7. A Message From The Prince

Mariana Rosette rode her horse in silence as she neared home. Myriads of thoughts ran through her mind. She was thinking of Lucius' gray eyes, his firm grip and deep husky voice. She was thinking about the beasts he described. Had this same beasts followed her all the way here? Was the world not safe anymore? Where had these beasts been this entire time? Why had they come up now? Why were they attacking and terrorising humans now? What did they hope to gain? Mariana rode into the courtyard. She dismounted her horse. "You did good today Calliope," She patted the animal. Calliope whinnied in response. Mariana led Calliope to the stables. She reached the entrance and met Jasper at the doorway looking worried. When he spotted Calliope, he breathed a sigh of relief. "For a moment, I thought I had lost your horse. You could have informed me that you were going to ride her. I would have prepared Calliope for you myself," Jasper began. Mariana shrugged. "It's nothing. She's all yours no

8. Alone With Him Again

Lucius could not take his eyes off Mariana. He felt something deep within him fighting to be unleashed and run to Mariana. He wanted to grab her badly and pull her into his arms. He wanted to plant kisses on her neck. He wanted to plant kisses all over her delicate body. He tore his gaze away from her burning brown eyes. She wasn't his. She was the prince's. It was treason to think about the prince's woman in this way. He could be killed for it. It was dangerous to have her on his mind. But it was hard to not think of her. Her lip curled into a sensual smile. She was aware of her charm. Her lashes framed eyes twinkled. Of all the guards at his disposal, it had to be him the Prince chose to fetch Mariana. He didn't know whether or not to be grateful for that. All he knew was that it would a long torturous ride. He was jolted out of his thoughts her aunt's voice "Escort her safely to the Prince," she ordered She shot her niece one last warning look before she retreated back inside.

9. A Royal Breakfast

Leonard Luther stirred in his bed. The previous day had been tedious but he thought it worth it as he was able to set eyes on his betrothed. Her beauty kept him in awe. She was like nothing like the women he had bedded in the past. He wondered what it would feel like to have her beneath him. On his bed and in his arms. His eyes flew open and he sat up. A new plaything laid beside him. She hadn't satisfied him as much as he had imagined she would. She was one of the new maids that were assigned to his wing of the palace. He took in her details, her back turned to him. Her ivory smooth skin was translucent. Blond mane sprawled across his pillow. She was pretty. Just not as pretty as that one woman on his mind. "My Prince, you're awake," The maiden said as she rubbed her eyes groggily. She flipped her seductively, in a way that it exposed her creamy mounds. She had long lashes and she never missed a chance to flutter around. Her green eyes stared at the Prince's icy blue eyes hoping
