We walked into the castle which seemed more like an entire city than one building. Up multiple stairs, through multiple hallways where some doors were open and others were shut. It was quiet in the castle and I looked into a few open doors to find empty kitchens, empty bedrooms, empty seating areas and other rooms that piqued my interest. Every guard that we passed bowed deeply to Adrian and stared at me with wide eyes. Some were looking at me angry, some curious and some had an expression on their face that I didn't want to think about. They were licking their lips like I was some piece of candy that they could eat. Some of the guards looked almost human but some definitely did not. I didn't try to analyse it too much and just tried to remember that I was in the demon realm. There wouldn't be a lot of human beings around, I presumed.The hallway widened out and at the end, there were two massive stairs that led to double, closed doors. More guards lined the hallway in this spot and

"You're the Kings'?" The guy asked me. I frowned again."The King's what?" I asked him. I was nobody's thing. The closest someone I was to anyone was Damon Salvatore's wife. I mean, in my dreams. Actually. Now that I was thinking about it, Adrian looked quite similar to Damon Salvatore. Maybe a big taller and muscular. I wonder if Adrian had a six pack. NO, Gabrielle. Bad thoughts. No. Shaking my head, I looked at the guy with patience. He looked at my hand."The King's property. The King's slave." He finished."Fuck off." I responded. "If you think I'm property or a slave, you can, and I mean this in a nice way, go fuck yourself." I continued. I rolled my eyes at him and Luzo started laughing."Don't mind him. He's only saying that because you're staying in the red quarters. No one but the King stays there." Luzo explained. I nodded and shrugged. "I will probably move to the black quarters tomorrow. Or maybe the hot pink one." I said with a laugh. Luzo and the guy looked at me funni

Long chapter!"But perhaps I will not. I will do with her how I see fit, Tia. Do not mend in my business." Adrian continued and I released a small breath I was holding. The danger wasn't over but at least I could breathe again.Everybody had food on their plates and wine in their glasses and I eyed the wine with interest. It will just be wine, right? Maybe it was something else. Maybe it was blood. I narrowed my eyes at the glass as if it would tell me if I just looked hard enough. "This is wine, right?" I asked Adrian. The rest stopped eating and looked at us with shocked expressions.Did I do something wrong again? I didn't call him My King, but was I supposed to call him that at every word directed his way? I went over the conversation with Guela. I should really ask if she could write them down as inspirational quotes. I could hang them up in places like the shower so I had time to read them through. Maybe I could decorate them nicely or make a song out of them."Yes. This is wine

Yawning, I stretched out my body and heard several bones popping. I needed to do some yoga, my body was getting stiff from all the stress. Fay might want to come with me. I laughed. Fat chance.I sat up in my bed and let out another yawn.Only then did it dawn on me. I was not home. I was in the demon realm, in a bed that was not mine. No green plants surrounded me and no laughter from my friends was heard through the door. I wonder how my friends and family were. I had only been away for a day, would they be worried already?The door opened to reveal a happy looking Guela. "Goodmorning, my dear." She smiled at me."Hi." I said shyly."Breakfast?" She asked me with a smile."Is it normal food?" I asked her in return, still wary from the food of last night.Last night. "Oh my God!" I shouted through the room. "What?!" Guela shouted back. "Oh my God. Last night. The absolute fucker. Ren, he.. He did something to me. I.." I made no sense in my words. But last night was very clear in my h

How the hell was I even going to get close to the damn thing? Briva sighed and got behind me. She lined her body with mine and her arm went around me to engulf my hand in hers. She was going to do this with me. I quickly looked around and saw every pair of eyes trained on us. Feeling extremely grateful for Briva's help, I looked at the green field again and let Briva take control.Her breathing picked up.Both hands were around mine and we stood in the same position to fire the arrow from the bow. "Stand still. Train your eyes on the target. Imagine it as someone you want to kill." She whispered in my ear. As someone I want to kill?I tried to concentrate on the blurry target."Good. Now stretch your arm back." Briva said. She pulled my arm back with her own, and the string tightened. With her fingers, she placed the arrow against the bow. "You need to line the point with the target. But feel where the wind goes. Can you tell the direction of the wind?" She whispered again. Her upper
