CHAPTER FIFTY
Aiden
PATIENCE WAS ONE of several virtues Aiden had and was proud of but tolerance was not any of them. There was a very close limit to what Aiden could bear, and disturbance was the height of it.
"Let's say I decide to indulge you, what do you expect to gain from this... uh... friendship?" Aiden asked carefully.
"Does one have to have a motive for everything?" Katherine responded.
"Every decision has a reason behind it. It could be instinctual or thoughtful, reasonable or unreasonable. Either way, a reason is a motive."
Katherine stared at him dreamily. "I am lucky to have you as my king."
Aiden almost broke character and rolled his eyes but held himself. "That does not answer my question. So, what is your motive, Lady Katherine?"
"I wish to bring back what we used to have before you beca

Diana SHE OPENED HER eyes only to be brought back to the same alternate reality she stayed in while in a coma. Diana looked around hoping to see the huge purple ball of fur anywhere but was disappointed to see just Selene. "Hello, Diana," Selene greeted in her usual soft voice. Diana was prepared for the pain that she expected to accompany that noise but was surprised when she felt nothing. No headache or anything. She gasped in surprise. "Oh, it's gone." "I am sorry about the headache, I was trying to force a connection with your mind. For now, I can only come to you when you are asleep," Selene said in an apologetic voice. "Why?" Diana questioned. "Someone had caused a great imbalance in the world and the pure energy keeping everything in place has been disrupted.&

Diana TILL THE NEXT morning, Diana did not see Aiden. When it was near time for her to leave, she decided to go to him. She stood in front of his office and knocked twice. At the third knock, the door opened, revealing a stone-faced Aiden with red rims around his irises, making his grey eyes look more bestial. She cleared her throat as she noticed the same human she saw the last time, sitting cross-legged on the floor beside Aiden's desk. "Leave, human," Aiden ordered, walking back into the office. The girl scrambled to her feet, bowed her head and scurried out of the room. However, Diana didn't miss the two punctured holes in her neck. "Sit, Diana," he told her monotonously. She eyed the red spots on his collar and gulped, feeling a little uncomfortable. "I just wanted to let you know that I am

Aiden THROUGH THE WINDOW of his room, Aiden watched as Diana, Rudolph and a vampire walked out of the castle. Earlier, the vampire asked him for permission to leave the kingdom with Diana and he granted it. After what happened in his office, he couldn't bear to face Diana just yet. Not because he regretted kissing her, but because he couldn't bear to watch her leave and go to another man. That kiss was the answer to all his questions. It made all his feelings clear. Aiden was in love. The thought of him being in love was funny and unbelievable. People would laugh their asses off. The ruthless vampire king in love? What a joke. What was not funny was watching Diana go further and further away from h

DianaAT FIRST LIGHT, Diana woke up the cuddling couple beside her. Last night, she had not been able to sleep a wink.It seemed like she was reverting to her old ways when she would go days without sleeping, keeping watch over her friends.Rudolph immediately knew what had happened, the moment he opened his eyes and he gave her a disapproving look."You didn't sleep last night, did you?" He asked immediately."Yes, I did not," she responded, not bothering to deny it."I thought we were past this, Ana, why did you have to do this?" He scolded, pushing the blanket off him."You know why, Rudolph," she told him seriously."We are safe… you are safe too." He gestured to the surrounding. "There is nothing out here but us… and maybe some animals. You are being paranoi

DianaAT THE BORDER, the guards bowed to her. "Lady Moonshine, we have been expecting you," one of the guards informed her."The elders are waiting in the council room, I will lead you there," the same guard said.Diana shook her head. "First, can you show me to a hotel? My companions and I need to change out of these travel clothes.""Sure, follow me."The guard led them to a hotel called 'The Blue House'."The Blue House is a four-star hotel. Due to its classic and ancient style, and the fact that it's located a few kilometres away from the border, tourists are attracted to it."And for that very reason, it mostly houses them as well as well as other visitors and important guests," he explained, sounding very much like a tour guide."Are you a tour guide?" Diana couldn't help but ask an

Aiden asked.He sat behind his desk, opening the first file on his table. Richard always arranged t
