Jasmine
It had been three days for working for them, and I'd come to a minimum conclusion.Lucien Theron Blackwood—The silent and rude one.Micheal Valerian Blackwood—The overly organized oneArcher Stephanos Blackwood—The one who seemed a little normal.Besides their cold behavior, there was another thing worth mentioning--They smelt good, it wasn't as if I was sniffing them but they actually smelt very good. Like, Even if they are a few feet away from me I could smell their scent, each of them had their own habits and the one thing common was they didn't talk much. I had also adjusted myself to keeping the conversations in my head low so that they can't catch the frequency with their super hearing.I was trying to adjust, in short.Right now, I was uncomfortably tossing and turning on my bed due to the sun rays that were falling on my face. I was given a room for my stay, and it was better than my home, to be honest. Staying in the palace and working for them had turned into my only routine.Work! The word rang in my head.My first duty of the day was to get their breakfast to their studyMy body shot up straight to sit up, looking at the clock and seeing I was five minutes late I dashed to the bathroom for a shower. I didn't bother drying my hair too much since I knew it was going to take a whole day to dry it After I threw on my casual red dress that reached below my knees and proceed towards the kitchen.Once I reached the kitchen I saw Martha, recognizing her stare I gave her an apologetic look and took the prepared breakfast trolley."You are ten minutes late, Jasmine," She scolded quietly."Ten minutes?" My eyes widened, "I'll talk to you later, Martha. I need to take their breakfast to the study," With that, I exited the kitchen, my heartbeat like a drum due to all the rush I had caused.I didn't even know what would be their reaction! The tension was thick.As the guard slowly opened the door and I made my way inside the room, I felt their gaze at me almost in an instant.Gathering my courage I finally managed to look at them, "I'm so sorry for being late, it won't happen again. I just couldn't realize that..." My words died in my throat feeling that they weren't exactly paying attention to my words.King Lucien's relaxed gaze wandered around my face before traveling down my figure, King Micheal's most of the attention remained on my skin that was once covered in goosebumps, I noticed the darkness growing in king Archer's eyes as his stare stayed on me.For some reason, their gazes made me feel warm everywhere. This was the highest amount of attention I'd gotten from them in these five days of working for them. I awkwardly shifted at my place, trying hard to keep my breathing steady but as the seconds were passing with them not moving an inch from their places, the pace of my breathing constantly increased.I released a low sigh clutching the trolley handle tightly before I nervously bit down my bottom lip, the heat traveled to my cheeks. It was strange how the heat spread through my body. It was true that they were extremely attractive but I hadn't felt this sort of feeling before.My body was craving something even I couldn't contemplate.It was very strange, they were vampires and I shouldn't like a vampire's gaze on me yet I was liking it and craving it at the same time."The...The breakfast will get...cold," I finally managed to speak, and this time their gazes deflected. King Lucien cleared his throat and Jerked his head as if he was telling me to serve the breakfast.King Micheal and King Archer remained silent, I meekly made my way toward the table. Three of them sat at different corners of the table.I first made my way to King Lucien who was closer to my reach, I gently placed the breakfast plate in front of him before I let the glass rest beside it, of course, the red substance in the glass was blood. Besides blood, vampires could eat real food too.I didn't know if it was my hallucination or not but I heard him intaking a sharp breath when I leaned forward to arrange his breakfast on the plate. It was then I realized that while doing the task I had accidentally come closer to his face, and the small distance wasn't appropriate.I hurriedly moved away and proceeded to my next task--Plating King Micheal's breakfast. Ignoring the flutter in my abdomen, I began plating his breakfast but this time with much caution but a second later I saw him shifting in his seat as if to avoid something.My eyebrows lightly scrunched due to his reaction but then he opened his mouth, "You are a human, aren't you?"The slightly absurd question took me off guard.Is he drunk?"We don't drink," The response instantly came, and I bit my tongue.I needed to turn down the volume of the questions in my head, it was ridiculous how easily they could read my mind."As far as I can understand, I am a human," I couldn't help the sarcasm in my voice.I saw three of them exchanging glances upon my statement, deciding to mind my own business I proceeded to serve the breakfast for King Archer. He didn't react like the other two but I saw him clutching the side of the table a little tightly.Is there something with me that is bothering all of them? Thankfully I had kept my thoughts low this time--The one wise choice I had made in my whole life.I pushed the trolley to the side and sat on the corner of the couch that'd been my place for the last three days."Have you taken your breakfast?" The question came from King Lucien, it was far too good to be true to hear something from someone's mouth who had only been giving me cold glances and rude remarks."Y-yeah,""Oh really?" King Archer spoke, his tone heavily emphasized his lack of trust in my answer."Yes," I nodded."That's a bad thing, you know," King Micheal began, "You've disrespected us by doing so,"My eyes widen and my mouth agape, I shouldn't have lied! Why did I even lie? Oh God!"B-but...""You've broken a rule, so you should be punished," His voice turned a note serious."I-I....""So how many years of prison could be a good fit?Archer?" His lips twitched upwards and the same identical smirk plastered on King Archer's face.Oh no!"Five years for breaking the rule," My eyes were ready to pop out of its socket, but he continued, "Another Ten years for admitting it without any guilt, and six years for ..."Gasping I stood up from my seat, "I swear to God! I haven't taken my breakfast," I exclaimed, my eyes wide with horror and face white as if I had seen a ghost.I didn't want to be in prison for something I hadn't even committed."Oh, you haven't?" King Michael questioned, the glint of something danced in his eyes."Yes, I swear I haven't!" I spoke.There were a few minutes of silence before King Lucien broke it, "Okay then, go and take your breakfast then come back here for work," He said and diverted attention toward the food on the plate.I stood there confused for a few minutes, from being serious about sending me to prison to changing decisions so quickly was quite unusual. Something didn't fit in the context.It was then I noticed the twitch at the corner of their lips and mischievous glint dancing on their expression.They'd fooled me! And I got fooled by them so easily.To hide my embarrassment, I hurriedly made my way out of the study with my cheeks flaming red. One thing I learned about them today was--The Vampires Kings were dominant, cold, and feared for sure but they were also very clever.Jasmine.I looked outside the window and found the sun setting deep under the clouds of the west, the orange hue it left in the progress soon disappeared. The calm nature of nature itself, protruding as the night advanced.I sat on the edge of the window, admiring the soft winds that caressed my face every once and then. Suddenly my eyes fell on a scene outside the window, my brows rose in surprise. Definitely, something I hadn't expected was to see the three brothers outside the palace.King Lucien rode the horse back into a pathway, whilst King Micheal and Archer leaned against the limo. Even though their backs were facing me, within these few days I had excellently learned to recognize them just by a simple instinct. Though it was weird I didn't really pay attention to my thoughts.It was a while before King Archer shifted to sideway and followed by him stood King Micheal, something about the faint shimmer in their skin caused my heart to skip a beat. I couldn't tear my eyes away f
Jasmine.As I had thought yesterday, right now I was staring at King Lucien sitting a few feet away with as always a file in his hand. There were occasions when the file would be replaced by a newspaper or a book and sometimes even a magazine but most of the time it would be any file or document or anything related to his work. Well, of course being powerful didn't give them the allowance to skip all of their duties as Kings in fact the only thing it had done was to increase it. But I had to admit, he looked so good even though all of his attention was on the task, he was writing down something or maybe something related to the blood collections. His hair lightly fell on his face and his eyes remained fixated on the paper, the sleeves of his white shirt were folded up to the middle of his hand whilst he bobbed his left leg up and down covered in the black ripped jeans.Damn it! Vampire males were a thousand percent more attractive than humans.Sighing I rested my head against the wal
Third person's P.O.V"How can you be so careless, Micheal?" Lucien yelled, "She could've suspect us,"Michaels brows knitted together as he stared at his brother, "Oh you better not start that shit," he spat, "How could I've known that my dear brother would be messing with our mate whilst we work hard to the information about her,""Talk quietly," Lucien spoke, his eyes sending a glare in Micheal's direction to which the middle triplet rose one of his eyebrows. Definitely, his elder brother's words were not affecting him. After all, the conversation was about the girl who has been giving them every single of the supposedly existing mate bond but in vampires' history, it wasn't possible for a human to turn out to be such a dangerous predator's mate. Especially when it was not one but three. But since the first day, the symptoms they were getting were pretty much indicating the truth they weren't aware of."And another thing I wasn't messing with her," Lucien cleared his throat," She w
Jasmine.The morning came quicker than I had expected, the sun peeked through the clouds and the rays managed to creep their way through the small gap of the curtain. The weather seemed colder than before, and the temperature was even lower than other days.Definitely, winter was closer. I removed the duvet off my body and stood up, the tiredness of my body seemed to vanish soon as I had taken a few steps. I completed my shower and brushed my teeth removing any trace of the unpleasant morning breath.As I was done drying my hair, a knock on the door was what interrupted the silence in my room. I reached for the door and opened it.A maid stood in front of the room."King Micheal has called you to his room," her eyes filled with jealousy for something I couldn't decipher."He needs his breakfast?" I questioned."No, The Kings have already taken their breakfast," She said."Then Why?" I questioned out of curiosity."I don't know, you should check that by yourself," With that curt reply
Jasmine.It was the night. Surrounded by cold and calming winds.The few days had gone in a blink, not that I found myself complaining about it. Although the palace was busy with the work for the festival. I was very familiar with this festival, it was kind of a vampire thing. The full moon festival held great importance in the vampire criteria.They were supposed to recognize their mates if they are around, although most of the vampires find their mate in the same clan or kingdom but sometimes for some vampires it turns out to be different.I didn't know why I was constantly thinking about why the kings hadn't found their mate yet. Since they were fraternal triplets they were probably going to have one mate.Lucky girl whoever it's going to be.Sighing I walked out of the room, it was very late at night but sleep was no way near me. Since King took the liberty to permit me to use the library whenever I wanted, I didn't hesitate to make up my mind to get a book for myself.Although pa
Jasmine.I meekly made my way towards their room. Today the place was filled with vampires and royals. Beautiful women were everywhere. The overly perfumed women were also there. It could be told without another thought that the festival was going to be huge.As told by King Archer, I was walking towards their room to help them get ready. It was kinda weird to consider that such grown-up men would need help but judging by the royal habits, they were probably used to not doing such little works on their own.The guard opened the door and let me in.I sensed the three vampires' presence instantly as I entered the room.I raised my head to look at them, their beautifully sculpted faces were already distracting. And not when they all looked freshly showered. King Micheal was the only one who looked a little tidy than the other two--His hair was dried and he was fixing his shirt. "Oh, so you are here," King Archer's voice broke my chain of thoughts."Yes, your Maje..." Before I could fini
Jasmine.The moon hadn't shown up yet, neither had the ceremony ended. Everything around me was hushed with silence and the distant view of what I could notice was the crowd of the festival, a crowd of vampires. I could even notice the human slaves who were put to work. Usually, there weren't any rules for keeping slaves but the humans who sometimes take a loan from the vampires and fail to give it back get under the category of a slave. Those who violate the rules of the kingdom are also made slaves due to their deeds.I sighed and pulled the curtains to the window.I picked up my bucket of paintbrushes and paint and the Caves clipped to the board before I headed out of the room. The palace was nearly empty, many of the maids were busy greeting the vampires and serving them. So this side of the palace now seemed to have a most peaceful environment for my painting.A door led to a balcony from where the faint light was creeping through, I made my way towards the balcony. It faced the
Jasmine.I woke up in unfamiliar surroundings, the softness of the bed was new, the different scents roaming around the room were more unusual than what I was used to waking up to, the feeling of someone beside me was too unexpected.My eyes fluttered open and the decorated white ceiling was the first thing my eyes saw, I shot up to sit straight without acknowledging King Archer's presence beside me and the other two devilishly handsome vampires who stood in front of the bed."Where the fuck am I? Did someone kidnap me?" I muttered, my mind too messed up to even recognize that this was their room I had even come to the day before today. I heard a manly chuckle from the side and this was made me look at the Vampire sitting right beside me.His fangs peek through and for some absurd nonetheless reasons, I found it endearing.Gasping I stood up from the bed, hurriedly smoothing out my dress. What the hell I'm going in their room?The shout in my mind surely reached their ears and I felt
