Luciana lay cradled in Raziel's arms, trying to study his new behavior. She noticed that all his carnal urges seemed to had amplified. His lust for her body, blood, especially her own, he even seemed cruel. He had tried to punish a few servants that came to serve them for very silly mistakes. Thankfully she was there to stop him. He filled her ears with stories of how much he enjoyed killing those men in the cave. She didn't want to let him go out for fear that he would do something bad to an innocent person. But for her to keep him, she had to constantly give herself to him, both body and blood. She just couldn't wait to get him back to normal.They had been there for hours, and now he wanted to go out. He had tired her out, and she was not ready to give him sex again."Just stay here with me." She pleaded. "Why?"Oh, this man was testing her patience, and she was gradually losing it."Because I miss you. You were gone for a whole night and you had me worried." She tried to talk som
Freya wiped his cheek with the back of her palm, her heart clenching in pain, seeing him like that."You are not human, Duke Elric." She stated, and his body seemed to tense. "If that is your secret, I don't see any reason you should hide it." He laughed, but it was a very sad laugh. "We live in a supernatural world.""How did you... Know?" It even seemed like it was painful for him to speak. Whatever was happening to him, whatever this pain was, she needed it to stop. She placed one of her fingers over his mouth, stopping him from speaking."I know you can see in the darkness. I know you can hear from afar. Those are not very human-like features, are they? That day I found your room where you kept your weapons, you located me easily. You were not even in the mansion when I entered there, but you knew I was there. You could even see the expression on my face in that dark room, you knew I was nervous. I know that you are not human. So what are you?"It was the night of a full moon, if
Freya and Elric sat around the dining table, both eating their late breakfast. Freya had insisted that she would not eat, unless he ate, and he had to, as he didn't want her to stay hungry.Freya had a lot of questions in mind to ask him. He told her that he was a hybrid, but he didn't mention the species. Could he be a werewolf and a vampire, or perhaps another supernatural creature that they weren't too familiar with?She decided to wait until he had eaten and rested. She still shivered and got goosebumps anytime she remembered his experience the previous night. It was really heart wrenching for her to watch. How could he still put on a smile after that?They ate in silence. It was a bit awkward as they both had something to say to each other, but they kept it to themselves for similar reasons. After a while, Freya decided to speak up."Duke Elric?""Elric. Just call me that." He told her, and she smiled faintly."El...ric." It sounded strange coming out of her mouth. She knew that
Dahlia was momentarily taken aback, and she was unresponsive for a few seconds. But then she went on her knees to be on the same level he was. His lips glided slowly and expertly over hers, savouring her flavour and the softness of her lips for the first time. His hand tangled at the back of her hair, tugging the locks gently, but firmly. Dahlia felt sweet tingles, and flutters in the pit of her stomach. At that moment, she was experiencing some kind of euphoria she hadn't experienced before, her whole body jolting awake and alert. But still it wasn't enough, she needed more. All the pent up frustrations she had had with him came at her in a flood of desires, even surprising her.The deep masculine groan that escaped his throat told her that she was not the only one feeling frustrated. They both needed more from each other. They had teased themselves for too long. Dahlia pulled out of this kiss, her brain hazy. She got up and began to undress, while his gaze remained steady on her,
Things had gone well between Freya and Elric, though it was only outwardly. She couldn't stop herself from thinking about all the things he told her about himself. A day had passed, and yet she was still engrossed in the thoughts.The way he mentioned that he killed the people that tried to use him was very strange. She could see the satisfaction in his eyes as he said that. She would really love to know more about that side of him. She wondered if he would tell her if she asked. He was very open with her the previous day anyway. She decided to ask him.She climbed up the stairs and went to the balcony where he was, seated across a table, with an opened wine bottle on it, and in his hand, a glass half filled with a red liquid. He seemed to be enjoying the scenery ahead."Duk... Sorry, Elric." It was still a struggle, calling him by his name.He turned to her. "Freya."She walked to him, took the seat across him and sat. "Is that blood?" She asked curiously, staring at the glass.Elric
Freya could not bring herself to say anything for a good one minute. Her brain took its sweet time to process everything he had told her. Elric looked at her and smiled, understanding her turmoil."You probably see me in a different light now." He stated, schooling her expression. He then took a slow sip of his wine. She nodded. She had always known him to be calm and kind. But now, she was beginning to think that he was also a dangerous man. His calm nature, making him even more dangerous."Honestly, yes. You are not as simple as I thought you to be. But I don't respect or like you any less." She confessed. "Perhaps even more."He smiled. "That is good to hear.""You didn't want to kill the prince of Durville at that time, but you were willing to kill him during the short war you recently fought?" Freya inquired. She had of course asked him about it, especially since she found out that he was Luciana's husband."That was war. I am supposed to kill my enemies. He happened to be the l
Luciana could feel the deep emotions that were coming from him. His regret was palpable, clouding him like a second skin. His love for her, the sincerity in his voice cut so deep and she felt it in her heart. She felt butterflies go loose in her stomach, and her heart did a little flip. This was the first time he confessed to her."Raziel." She drew close to him. "I agree with you. You hurt me. These past few days, you have made me follow you and struggle to keep you in check, you made me so scared, and all that occupied my head and heart was the fear of losing you forever. It was funny, it wasn't easy."She looked into his eyes and was surprised to see the deep sadness and guilt they held, it made her heart clench."I am sorry, Lucy.""Raziel," He answered her with a hum. "All these happened within a few days when your body was undergoing the biggest change you have ever experienced. I would be surprised if you weren't affected."His gaze turned surprised. He thought she was blaming
Luciana went to the laboratory after putting Lorenzo on Raziel's watch. Apart from her, he was he only one he seemed to listen to. But it was a lot of work for him, compared to her. She was still a bit glad as he seemed to be showing some signs of his old self since the night they had that talk. It was a mental struggle for him, but she believed that he would pull through.She got to the laboratory, her guards with her."Do you still enjoy working here like you used to?" Arlo asked her. "I guess that the treatment would be different from before. Does it make you uncomfortable?"She smiled. He was thoughtful. "It does. That is the one downside of being Queen. At least I don't come here as much as before.""One would think you came here to work." Sofia chimed in, and Luciana gave her a knowing look.The moment they stepped into the laboratory, the busy environment seemed to halt for a moment, as the attention of everyone seemed to be pulled towards her. People close by offered their gre
