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 she judgmentally stared down at my face before she walked away.Sighing, I made my way out of the room.Why did he call me to his room? Strange.As I reached his room, I saw the guard who seemingly opened the door and let me in. I could see the room was giant, even though I hadn't stepped in yet.Soon as I entered the room, I realized that nervousness had already taken place in the pit of my stomach. His scent was all over the room and I didn't know why I could smell it so profoundly, I surely didn't have that super ability to catch scents but whenever they were around me I could catch every one of their scents.It was even weird that I liked it.As my eyes trailed to the figure sitting on the bed, my breathing got caught in my throat as if I'm being choked.King Micheal sat at the edge of the bed, his tousled hair shined under the light, and his eyes fixated on me probably from the moment I had walked in."So, you are here..." There was a stretch in his tone but what surprised me was his fingers moving to unbutton his shirt.My eyes widened and a gasp slipped past my lips, "W-what are....what are you doing?"He seemed to understand the reason behind my stutter and his eyes shined in amusement."What do you think I'm doing?" A small smirk played at the corner of his lips as he walked towards me, it was so hard concentrating on his face whilst his whole chest was on display and the tattoo inked on his skin that was more stunning than I had thought it would be."I-I," Before I could figure anything out, all I registered was my pressed against the door with King Micheal hovering over me.His both hands rested on the door trapping me between them, My face went all red at the closeness. This was....new."Don't worry little one," He chuckled noticing my expression, "I heard that you gave a good massage so...." unexpectedly he tucked one of my hair strands behind my ear, "I'd like to ask you if you could give me one?"I remained mum. Unable to think straight.He wants a massage in this early morning?!"Actually yes, my back is stiff due to working all day long," He added answering the question in my head. The amusement in his eyes never faded.Shit! I again forgot to tune down my thoughts."Okay, I mean...I can do it," I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat.Thankfully he moved away and walked back towards the bed."What do I need to do?" He questioned as he took off his shirt.Oh. My. God.Those muscles.....couldn't be any more perfect. The perfectly toned abs as if they were shadowed with a paintbrush and perfected to perfection and his broad shoulders. I could literally drool at the sight.He looked heavenly."Ahm... You can lay on your back," I cleared my throat."Okay," He nodded and got on the bed, "C'mere,"I found myself nodding and getting on the bed as well, now we both were sitting facing each other, and as expected he looked double of my size even in his sitting position.His gaze stayed on me for a couple of seconds before he laid on his back.Damn it! This was going to be awkward or maybe not...I tried to figure out how to start it but judging by his broad back the only position that could work was supposedly me straddling his back. I bit my lips before I slowly put myself in the position, he seemed well aware of it but remained calm and unaffected.I rested my weight on my knees and slowly trailed began to massage his shoulder in a circular motion. His voice visibly shivered at the first contact so did mine but neither of us spoke a word.Unaffected and silent, I kept my movements steady. The exact warmth I had experienced yesterday in the incident with King Lucien passed through my body.I felt the vampire laying under me slowly relaxing and emitting a soft sigh, I reached behind the spot on his neck and slowly dragged my fingers down, and that caused him to let out another sound but this one was much lower as if he was suppressing something.A purr?"Did it hurt?" I questioned slowing my movements."Not at all," He responded."Okay," I continued my motions again. It was even more surprising that I wasn't disliking the task. More likely enjoying his little reactions.Was this weird that I was liking it? I don't know."Your hands can work magic, Jasmine," His voice had turned an edge deeper."Um..thank you?" My face turned red as a tomato again.He chuckled at my response.A few moments passed in silence before he suddenly questioned, "Where did you use to live before you came here?"The question left me in a haze of blurry memories. I could see the little fragments of a big garden, a long corridor, and beautiful lightning but not the exact picture. The sound of a soothing female voice calling my name and the chuckle of a man and the giggle of a little girl but again...the agonizing cries and shouts, the sight of widespread fire, the shivers of terror, and the arms of a woman bracing me whilst the darkness engulfs.That was all. Nothing else could be spotted. Everything would just vanish the moment the darkness would surround my vision."Jasmine?" King Micheal's voice broke my gaze."Oh, sorry," I spoke, "I just zoned out,""Where did you use to live?""I can't remember it," I sighed out, "It's all a blur as if someone had taken a big part of my memory and discarded it,""You can't remember anything at all? He questioned."What I can remember are the small fragments of the main picture," I spoke the truth, my hands never stopping from continuing their motions."Like what?" He sounded genuinely interested."A garden with roses, peony, lavender, Aster," I began, "A little girl giggling and running down the stairs, the soothing voice of a woman calling my name whom I can't see and the chuckle of a man whose face I can't remember," My movements slowed down as I talked."Then there's the gigantic flame of fire crashing everything down, the loud agonizing cries buzzing around, the screams and shouts, the crowd of something, and the arms of a woman bracing me before everything faded into nothingness," I finished. I didn't know why my body had gone all cold as I described it.King Micheal's body had also stiffened. I couldn't see his reaction but I could tell he was in deep thought."Jasmine?" He spoke after a moment."Hmm?""You can go now," He said. Although I hadn't expected him to say this I moved away from his anyway. As I began to move toward the door, his voice stopped me."Wait..."Hesitantly I turned around to look at him. He walked towards me, his lips pulling upwards for a smile.He stopped in front of me and his hand moved to softly cup my cheek, "Thank you," He brushed his thumb on my skin, the smile looked endearing and the gaze was intense.The furious blush took place causing the heat to spread."Y-You're welcome," I nervously spluttered before I ran out of the room unable to control the smile he had already spotted on me.The last thing I heard was his chuckle as I exited the place.The Vampire kings were definitely affecting me more than I had thought they would be.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
Jasmine."Archer? Is it ordinary for Vampires to have a human as a mate?" I questioned. After their multiple remarks, I had finally grown used to calling by their names a few hours ago. It seemed awkward at the starting but now it was completely normal than I had thought it would be.Lucien and Micheal were gone for some royal duties they'd to perform and Archer decided to stay with me so that I wouldn't get bored."No, as far as we know this hasn't happened before. Because if you think of the mating process, the venom in Vampire's blood needs to be injected into his mate's body and it can turn fatal for humans," He explained, his hand absent-mindedly drawing circles on the side of my waist, "So, for now all we know that it is rare to have a human being." "So, you all can't complete the mating process with me?" I don't know why there was a weird pull at my chest. It was strange, I was a human and I didn't understand the importance of the mate bond yet it made the weird knot form in t
JasmineThe kitchen was where I found Martha after searching her almost entire palace. She was cutting veggies with some other maids."Hey, Martha," I walked towards her. She glanced at me, a smile forming on her lips as she did."Where were you the whole day, Miss Jasmine?" She chuckled and turned back now fully facing me."Umm...I was.." I hesitated, "Forget it, I have something to tell you.""What?" She questioned."I-I...Um, yesterday...I-I..."Like a moron, I was, my stammering was the only thing that came out of my mouth, well of course the few words didn't make any sense."Do you have a fever, sweetheart?" She came and placed her hand on my forehead, checking my supposedly normal temperature."No, I don't." I quickly spluttered, "It's just that, I need to...to tell you something.""What is it? And why do you look nervous?" Concern laced her voice, "Did something happen?""No," I instantly shook my head."Then, what is it?"She asked.I glanced at the maids beside her, the kitchen
JasmineI sat on the bed, waiting for the triplets to arrive. The book in my hand was literally untouched, I hadn't read a word. Half of my mind was still occupied with worrisome thoughts about Martha's earlier behavior. She was hiding something for me, for sure. Or was I just overthinking?The restlessness in her did say something else. All my childhood was a blur, I didn't remember any of it except for the memories with Martha that I collected over the years. It was strange how even the face of my mom and dad is now a blur.My thoughts were broken when the door slowly opened. Lucien was the first one to come into my view before my eyes caught the sight of the other two vampires."You are still awake," Micheal spoke, suddenly my eyes drifted to the clock. It was late at night."I couldn't sleep," I mumbled."Or you didn't try to sleep at all," Lucien unhooked his watch letting it rest on the table before his hands moved to unbutton his shirt. The sight made my throat dry all of a su
Jasmine.I woke in someone's warm embrace. Unlike every other day, today I was feeling extremely comfortable and content at the gentleness of the hold of the person on me. I could hardly feel any need to get up.I slowly nuzzled my nose against the skin of the owner of the pair of arms that had made me feel more comfortable than ever, and I heard the suppressed snicker of someone.I slowly looked up and found Micheal looking at me. He smiled when I hid my face into his neck again without even saying anything."No mood to get up?" He asked and I nodded which caused the laugh to tear from his mouth."Slept well, little one?" He lightly rubbed my back and I nodded again."Vampires are supposed to be cold then why are so warm?" I mumbled against his skin."It's because you have let me steal your body heat," He chuckled and the frown settled on my face."So you are a thief," I spoke. My morning mood had always had this effect on me, all I spoke was nonsense but surprisingly Micheal found a
