I walked into her room and slammed the door shut, so much so that it shook the very pillars of the room.“You came back so soon, you miss me already?” She said teasingly as she came running to meet me."Where is Iris bracelet?" I snarled at her through gritted teeth, halting her midway.She arched a brow at me, “What are you talking about, your Highness”I reached over and grabbed her arm tightly and pulled her closer, “Do not fuck with me because I have lost the little patience I have for you. Now I’m going to ask one more time, where is the bracelet you took from my room earlier? I want it back so hand it over before I do something bad that you might regret”I threaten in a low voice."I already told you I don’t have it. I mean, Why do you think I have it?" she asked me in return with a wince."If you didn’t take it then what gave you the confidence to approach me with your fucking demands knowing fully well that I would be left with no other choice but to agree to it," I replied."

(Iris POV)With each passing day, I’m getting weaker due to my state. If I don't feed on blood soon, I might die. Prince already offered me his but I rejected it.I couldn't leave the room because my condition has gotten worse, even eating was a problem as I would throw up. I couldn't even look at prince anymore, not when he is upset with me because I refused to drink his blood.I don’t know how it would affect my child and the fact that I have to feed on something as secret as that is enough to make me feel ashamed of myself. At this point, I have already decided to end it all and I can’t tell the Prince what I intend to do or he would never allow it.If I’m gone, he would be able to live normally and marry lady Avril truly and she will bear him a son that would succeed him. I’m just a hindrance to him and he can’t see it because of his love for me and that’s why I need to spare him from everything."It is okay, Iris," I heard him say when a tear slide down my cheek. I only nodded to

(Otis POV)There an intense heaviness in my chest as I stood beside Lady Avril at the center of the arena surrounded by guests and of course, my father the king who was sitting at his spot, his cold eyes not so cold at the moment but glistering with what I could only term as joy.I bet this moment has been in his imagination longer than anything he has ever thought of. Everyone else has a look of fulfilled expectations on their faces.Not once did I imagined that my life would turn out like this. I don't want to marry the woman standing beside me but I had no choice. I wanted to stop the wedding but couldn't. I can’t even look at the face of the woman is who is about to be mated to me. I know she was happy and full of smiles and didn't even care about my expression nor feelings. She just wanted to be called my wife and be the next Queen Luna. My eyes searched around the hall, hoping to see Iris but she was nowhere in sight. When I got out of bed this morning, she was still asleep.

King Roman took a step closer and then reached out a hand to grasp my chin but I pushed away before he could but that didn’t stop him as she grabbed my face roughly before turning me enough to get a better look at my neck.“You have healed just fine. Not bad at all” he said before his hands dropped from my face and I let out a groan.“So are you going to tell him what my kind ever did to you or not? Since you had every single one of them killed then it must be pretty bad I suppose?”“Hmm” he said simply before turning away.“You have always been curious so I’m going to tell you a story" king Roman said.“During my young days, I became friends with a vampire king, we would do things together, go places together and even fight our bullies together. We were so inseparable that my parents and his tried everything they could to break us but it didn't work”“We grew up to the age of marriage and got married to our respective spouses and even had children. Then that was when he showed his tr

I couldn’t even sleep as planned, My mind was replaying everything that had happened. I kept wondering what my mother looked like at least I know her name was Katherine maybe prince can tell me a little bit about them.I made my way into the bathroom and filled the bathtub before shrugging out of my cloth and slipped inside. I spent my time washing up in the bath before returning to the bedroom to change into something else and into bed once again.I couldn’t lie still as I rolled over on the bed instead of trying to go outside and meet the sun as it was still high up in the sky. More hours passed by before I heard the door crack open and Prince walked in. I sat up sharply, my heart hanging in my throat.When the prince hesitated by the door, I quickly got out of bed and began to approach him carefully. I took a step closer and stood before him as I looked into his eyes. They held something familiar. Something I had seen before but before I could speak, he beat me to it and spoke up f
