As Queen Asalea woke up the next day, the first thing she looked for was her King husband. Fortunately, he was still lying next to her.
She just thought everything had been a dream. But waking up beside her husband made her totally come to her senses that indeed everything has been real. She is now married to the Vampire King of Glodeous and the declared new Queen of the Kingdom of Glodeous.
“Good morning pretty vampy.” King Timodore’s deep blue eyes danced with naughtiness as he playfully looked at his wife Asalea.
Asalea covered her face with her left arm and fully sheltered her body with their black blanket.
“What are you ashamed of, wife? Last night you were comfortable moaning underneath me,” He said teasingly.
“Shut up King Timodore. You owe me big time for setting me up to that marriage yesterday.” Asalea said still not looking at her new husband.
“I did not; I just followed your wishes. You know very well that you are going to marry the King of Glodeous right? You told me so.” Still, in a teasing mode, he tried to hug his wife.
Asalea’s embarrassment grew more. “That’s it, you know very well that you are the King but you never told me. Most probably you were laughing at me.”
“Nope, you actually caught my attention because of that. I was just amused knowing that I don’t need to find a wife anymore because someone is already dreaming to be my wife.” He is already hugging his wife while trying to kiss her neck.
Asalea flipped. “Don’t you dare start again; I am still sore and feeling the pain you caused me last night.”
“Is that so?, Let’s heal it then my Queen.” Asalea giggled as he got inside the blanket and started kissing and smooching her all over. She has no strength to fight and say No because actually she liked what he is doing.

As the new Queen of Glodeous, Asalea started to roam around the Kingdom familiarizing herself with its ins and outs. Sometimes she will roam around in her invisible self so that no one will notice her.
While roaming, she decided to go outside of the Glodious Palace and was in awe when she saw big Pine trees planted on both sides of the streets. She just walked following the path with pine trees on both sides. The said street led her to a path going to a hilltop. At the hilltop, she was amazed to see waterfalls and underneath it is a brook with very clear water, surrounded by big rocks. The place seems too magical to ignore.
Queen Asalea walked nearer and without hesitation continued to walk into the brook. She felt the cold water. She really wanted to swim but she hesitated as she did not bring any clothes to replace her worn ones. She just promised then herself that she will be back in this place ready with the necessary things that she needs to enjoy her day here.
Nearby at the back of big rocks, six pairs of sharp eyes are looking intently and greedily at the woman playfully tickling the water in the brook. Thereafter, their fangs grew longer and pointed, and their nails too. They wiggle their tails and make some low growls.
Queen Asalea heard the growls. She tried to calm herself and strengthened her sense of smell and hearing. She knows at once that she is in danger. Werewolves are around.
She needs to get out of the water immediately so that she could transform into her invisible self. Before she could get out of the water however six werewolves were already waiting for her at the edge of the brook, ready with their sharp claws.
Asalea could determine that they are not Ecleteon werewolves. It is evident in their greyish furs. Ecleteons’ furs are combinations of either black and gray or brown and black or brown and gray. Ecleteons could be easily recognized through their fur colors.

King Timodore suddenly felt a pang in his chest and his wife’s face quickly flashed into his mind.
He is currently in their training arena. He called Dreckos and asked him to take over the training. He will look for his Queen.
As he did not find Queen Lea inside the Palace, King Timodore called Dreckos and instructed their ten top men to help him find his wife.
“I have a feeling that she is in danger.” King Timodore said that makes his men worried.
As the palace guard told them that he saw Queen Lea walking outside the palace and paved her way going to the pine tree street, King Timodore almost cursed as he knew the danger at the end of that pine tree street.
“Men at the hilltop, let’s go!” King Timodore shouted. Like a flash, all the ten Glodeous top men including their King ran going to the hilltop.
At the hilltop, Queen Asalea is looking for a space on the land part, farthest to the werewolves where she could run, touch the ground and transform into her invisible self. She cannot fight alone with these six werewolves.
Looking at the big rock in her left side at least four big rocks away from the werewolves, Queen Asalea readied herself to run fast. She knows that at the back of the rock is a land part already. As she started to run fast, the werewolves did the same. When Queen Asalea reached the big rock, the six werewolves were already down the rock waiting to attack her.
When the six werewolves jumped simultaneously to reach her at the top of the big rock, Queen Asalea also jumped as high as she could and ran fast as she touched the ground.
The werewolves growled so loud in anger as they followed fast the escaping Queen Asalea.
Queen Asalea tried to be invisible while running but she cannot do it. She cannot concentrate. She needs to stop doing it. If she stops, however, the werewolves may catch her.
Nearby, the group of King Timodore heard the werewolves’ growls. They ran so fast like catching the wind, going in the direction of the werewolves.
IQueen Asalea runs as fast as she could. As a lady vampire, she runs five times faster than an ordinary woman. The werewolves however could also run as fast as she can. They are almost at the same pace.Good thing Queen Asalea saw a big tree. Without thinking further, she jumped to the highest level and settled herself at the big branch on top of the tree.The six werewolves down the tree growled in anger. Queen Asalea smiled. This tree is her savior. However, not unless these six werewolves would go away, she cannot go down from this tree. Minding that it’s almost dark, she was able to relax. These werewolves would go once the night is deep already.Ten minutes later, Queen Asalea felt relieved when she saw her King husband together with around ten of his men. They all stopped near the werewolves who were surprised by their arrival. The werewolves tried to fight but in the end, three of them died and the remaining three, who are still alive yet in
IThe next day, Asalea woke up without her husband beside her anymore. Immediately, she refreshed herself and went out of their room. She went directly to their dining area and saw their head chef.“Have you seen my King husband Chef? Did he eat breakfast already?”“He was here a while ago, Queen Lea but he only ate a little,” the chef replied.She nodded and left upon saying thank you to their chef.She tried looking for him at his office, but he was not there also. She went next to his throne, but no one was sitting there. She looked for Dreckos but she could not find him inside the palace too.Without any other recourse, she asked the guard at the palace door. “Have you seen the King?”The palace guard nodded. “They are putting some warning devices around the palace, Queen Lea, so that we will all be alarmed in case of an attack from enemies.”“I see. Thank you for the in
IKing Timodore caressed the back of his wife. “We are ready in case werewolves will attack us. Don’t worry my wife, we will all be safe.” He assured her to ease her fears.Queen Asalea shot her husband with a pacified look and nodded. “I will trust in you, my King.” Then she moved nearer to his body and sleep again.King Timodore kissed her wife’s head tenderly before closing his eyes to claim that deepest slumber in his life.The next morning, while walking in the palace’s corridor, Queen Asalea met two young ladies who seemed familiar with her. The two ladies also glanced at her and with wide eyes pointed their fingers at her.“We know you!” simultaneously the two young vampires exclaimed.“I don’t remember we met already.” Asalea pretended not to remember the two women.“Oh come on, you were one of the salesladies of that hot boutique in town.” Wit
IKing Timodore could not remove from his mind Queen Lea’s anger towards the Ecleteon Werewolves. Is there something that her Queen is hiding from him that he ought to know? He does not want to doubt his wife but he could not avoid it. He wanted to find out whatever is being hidden from him by his Queen as he wanted to fully protect her.Queen Asalea while lying on their bed is in her deep thoughts. How can she make amends to King Timodore for lying to him? How could he tell him that her true name is Asalea and not Lea and that she is the only heir to the throne of the fallen Knostican Kingdom that has been besieged and trampled down in the end by the Ecleteon Werewolves? What if he will come to realize that her purpose for coming in his Kingdom to wed him was to use him against the Ecleteons in her pursuit for her revenge? Would he be still the same in giving her the care and affection that she is experiencing from him now?Asalea is regretting now for ly
IKing Timodore suddenly felt a fang in his heart. Immediately, his wife’s face shows into his inner thoughts. He shook his head several times. His wife is safe inside the secret underground room.They readied as they heard the loud growl of one Ecleteon Werewolf. They have a hint that it was already the Ecleteon King’s signal, for his pack to attack them.Upon that loud growl of their King Burkano, all the Ecleteon Werewolves pauses to make their highest jumps in order to get inside the Glodeous Palace.Simultaneously then, the Ecleteon Werewolves jumped! However, before they could surpass the Palace’s fence, their growls of pain have been heard all over the place. Thereafter, it can be seen that parts of their bodies were scattered everywhere.King Burkano immediately looked at his werewolves’ flying bodies and was in total shocked of what he witnessed.That was the most opportune time that Princess Asalea was
IThe first thing that Queen Asalea saw when she opened her eyes was the black wall in front of her. She recognized the place instantly. She is in their bedroom. She tried to recall what happened during the attack of the Ecleteon Werewolves and her eyes instantaneously grew wide. Where is her husband? She struggled to wake up but upon hitting the floor, her feet ran swiftly out of the room. She needed to find her husband.Her feet brought her to the living room where she found her husband talking to Dreckos. Both men turned their faces to her when they heard her, called on the name of King Timodore.“Wife, are you okay now?” King Timodore hurriedly approached Queen Asalea and hugged her. She hugged him back.“I was afraid when I walked up and found you not beside me.” She said looking at her husband with a twinge of fear in her eyes.“I am perfectly fine, my Queen. Don’t worry, all the Ecleteon Werewolves w
IDreckos was so surprised to know some hidden truths about the true identity of their Queen Lea. Their Queen’s full name is Asalea. She is the only heir to the throne of the Knostican Kingdom, which no longer exists right now. The said Kingdom, two years ago has been attacked by the Ecleteon Werewolves and no Knostikan Vampires survived except for the only daughter of the King and Queen who happened to have the ability to disappear. She was able to escape and no news about her since then has been heard. The name of the Knostican Princess is ASALEA.As Dreckos relayed such fact that he gathered about Queen Lea, King Timodore was stunned. He could not believe that he, King Timodore was able to be fooled by a woman. He was sure that Princess Asalea and his wife Queen Lea is the same. It will never be a coincidence that the Princess of Knostican can make herself invisible, the same thing that his wife could do. King Timodore could not fully understand why she
IToremo who is walking towards Dreckos and King Timodore heard the latter’s command to the former. His eyes suddenly flashed with interest.“My King, did I hear it right? You are looking for another woman?” Toremo asked with curiosity in his tone.“Yes Toremo, do you have one?”“I have a friend. But I wanted to know first what would be the role of this other woman. Would she be going to be your mistress?” Toremo inquired again with a growing more curiosity now.King Timodore answered nonchalantly, “In the meantime, she will be my mistress but later if I found her more suitable, I will make her my Queen.”“I see, I don’t want to intrude nor ask what happened with you and Queen Lea. I will just heed your command. Tomorrow, I will ask my friend to visit our palace and I will introduce her to you, my King.” Toremo said after bowing his head.Dreck
