The Claiming Of Sleeping Beauty นิยาย & เรื่องราว

Pouting, I could tell she was close to crying, “Just read it to me, mama.” I took the book from her, it was titled Sleeping Beauty, and then I started reading, “Once upon a time, in a far-off kingdom, a beautiful princess named Aurora (also known as Briar Rose) was placed under a sleeping curse by a wicked fairy named Maleficent. The curse was meant to punish the king and queen for not inviting Maleficent to the princess's christening.” I paused and then continued.

~STORM "How are we going to do that? I'm so tired Mom!" I cried. Madam Cross took her in and made me sleep in her arms. The next morning, Madam Cross made me eat well enough and then took me to the mall again. We got into the clothing part and I became in awe of the types of clothes that were being sold in there. "Why is this so revealing?" I asked upon sighting a crop top that was capable of exposing not just my belly but my cleavage.

:: I don't know how long I slept but suddenly felt strange. My body felt... light. It was as if I was floating. I blinked faintly, but my eyes were still too lazy to open fully. Then, there was a slight giggling sound. "I can't believe she's not awake," Clara's voice sounded amused. "She's tired," Pascha's voice replied softly, very close to my ear. I felt something warm on my cheek, and then somone’s breath brushed my hair. "We've arrived in Switzerland, Sleeping Beauty."

She said as sparkles filled her eyes. “But who am I even kidding? My dad entrusted the most lethal and dangerous man in the entire world to be the one to execute his final wishes. So I guess this whole thing is justified? “I am not even stated as the official Archduchess yet, because by law; my aunt, the queen has to give me her blessings and then I will fully claim the archduchy, and yet all of this is happening.” Seeing her spooked like that, right out of her skin made me want to fucking kill somebody, and as though the gods had answered my prayers; James came spilling right into the office.

He gave Saber a surprised look, to find the other man was grinning. “Come on,” Saber said. “Let’s get Sleeping Beauty home to her bed.” “I’s not Sleeping Beauty! I don’t want to sleep for a hundred years, then be awakened with a kiss! Could you imagine that morning breath?” Gomez grinned. “Oh, I’m sorry. Who are you then?” Saber asked in a serious voice. “I’s Belle. I tame monsters.” “You certainly do,” Saber told her, staring at her like he’d never seen her before. “The monster-tamer.”

I couldn't tell if it was glass or liquid, it looks ethereal, like something out of this world and so… blue. “This is the Eye of Valtaris. Hidden in the royal vault.” He presses something on his phone and all our phones ping. “I've sent all three of you the blueprint of the Palace, including how to get to the vault.” “When do we start?” I ask. “In three months,” Kai answers simply. “In three months, the crown prince will need to choose a bride and ladies from prestigious homes will be summoned to partake in the test…” Okay…? He points at me. “You'll have to be among those ladies—”

It rumbled straight from his chest, traveling to my core. “Go to sleep,” he said and was about to leave the room. I turned around. “Wait!” He paused, sending me a glare. “I remember making myself very clear that this relationship is–” “Political,” I completed. “I know I am a convenient bride. I do not want…” I waved around the entire room. When my hands raised, my robe fell open, revealing the tiny lingerie set underneath.

“When you wake up, we’ll talk about what it really means to stand at my side.” I drifted off into a restless, dream-filled sleep while he carried me. My body felt like it was buzzing with his dark energy, like every nerve ending had been rewired. I didn’t know what tomorrow would look like in this nightmare world, but one thing was crystal clear: the rules had changed. And if Caius wanted a Queen, he was about to find out exactly how much hell a pissed-off former waitress could bring to his kingdom.

He had pinned me against the cold stone of the relic chamber, his arm coiled around my head, the other hand bruising my hip. His breath was ragged, his golden eyes heavy with the darkness of the curse that threatened to consume him. “You want to hate me,” he growled, his fangs scraping against my throat. “Your scent tells me otherwise, even as your eyes promise murder.” I choked on a breath, my body betraying me. “I will never be your Queen,” I snapped, even as my body arched towards him. He laughed softly, pressing his hips into mine, so I could feel the rigid length of him. “I don’t want a Queen, little Null. I want to burn alive in you before the world ends. And you, you’re going

He pulled her hand away from his face, but his jaw remained clenched tight, the veins along his forearms bulging as his hands balled into tight fists. "We slept together—" "So what?!" she cut him off defensively. "Come on, Damon! People have casual sex all the time! Ever heard of a hookup? Like what we did on our first time? Besides, have you forgotten that you forced me into this?" "Forced you?" Damon let out a harsh, bitter laugh, shoving himself off the bed to stand over her. "As far as I remember, you enjoyed every single second of last night! I gave you ten minutes to push me away, and you gave up in less than two without even putting up a fight! And now you're going to lie to my face a
