Jasmine.Blue, green and white--I laid the color on the portrait before I moved onto the shadows, the greyish shadows traveled down the woman's neck and blended into the collars. The smoothness of the colors was perfect as I'd wanted. I grabbed another brush dipping it into the color and finished the last few strokes on the portrait when Martha's voice came in my ear stopping the movements of my paintbrush soaked in the color Burnt Umber.The happiness ringed inside me."Jasmine, sweetie..." I turned to look at the door and saw her holding a bag full of art supplies and another bag full of groceries, watching her arrival I excitedly ran toward her and engulfed her in a hug. "You came, thank you so much!" I rested my head on her shoulder, letting myself feel her warmth--I had seen her after a whole week, ever since she'd been working in the castle she couldn't afford to stay with me like when I was a kid; The castle only allowed the workers and others to meet their close ones once or
Jasmine"They aren't bad, right?" I asked for my own needed assurance, the nervousness pumping in and out of my veins made my movements slightly clumsy."Of course, they are not," Martha let out a small chuckle.A small sigh escaped past my lips and my back muscles relaxed from the stiff posture, we got down the boat taking my luggage and the side bag full of art supplies hung on my shoulder; I couldn't live without painting, it was as necessary as water for me.The rough surface underneath my laced boots felt bumpy, the smell of wind on this side of the city was different. My nostrils seemed to catch a few scents even I couldn't identify."Martha, Can you smell it?" I lightly nudged her arm while she was paying the bill to the boatman."Smell, what?" She questioned, looking confused."The scent the wind is carrying, it's different," I complied."Silly, girl," She lightly pinched my cheek causing me involuntarily let out a huff in Disturbance, "You've never been here, that's the reas
JasmineIt 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 one Archer 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 on
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
