I watched as the beautiful man walked towards my direction. And the closer he gets to me the smaller he become, so I wouldn't stress myself looking up.
Venetia had her head down showing respect ' what was he some Kind of prince or something ' I said In my mind.
"How are you my love" he said to me ' wait ! Who is he calling my love , maybe he mistake me for someone else.
He's handsome though but that's not the problem right now ' I said in my mind again.
"I'm not fine , Master........" I trailed off as I don't know his name.
" You can call me Derek" he said " why what happened why are you not fine".
" Please I need to go back to get my friend " I said as tears dropped from my eyes and I sniffed.
Derek couldn't understand why Aria was crying for another person, but he didn't like it when she cried. " Don't cry my love" he cleaned my tears as I sniffed again.
" Which friend are you talking about" Derek asked again after I've calmed down.
" Elia , we were together in the punishment room before I fainted and find myself here" I said.
" How do you want to save her my love" derek asked me. I didn't even thought of that maybe I should ask for his help thought Aria to herself.
"Please help me save her" I pleaded politely.
After a while Derek nodded his head and I was so happy I could see Elia again.
"But my love you need to change into a clean clothes , I don't like the one you're wearing" Derek said as he frowned.
That when I noticed that I was still wearing my salve clothes, I was half naked. I used my hands to cover my body as my face turned red in embrassment.
Derek shot Venetia a dagger look " why is she not dressed yet" he said to her. I saw as Venetia was shaking in fear as stammered " I'm s... orry mas... ter".
Derek raised his hand up " save it , bath and dress her up and meet me outside" he said before turning towards me " I'll be waiting outside my love" he said as he touched my cheek and where out closing the door. Now it was just me and Venetia again. "Please follow me miss Aria" Venetia said to me.
" Wait ! " I stopped her as I asked " is that the master you're taking about who brought me here".
" Yes Miss Aria, that's Master Derek . His the third prince of Naal city".
" Prince?? " I said in shock.
" Yes Miss Aria" Venetia answered.
" But why do you call him Master Derek and not Prince Derek" I asked again and we started walking towards the bathroom.
" Master Derek doesn't like anyone calling him prince Derek even his family". Venetia said.
We got to the bathroom , of course it was big . The bathtub was wide could fit in ten people. Venetia turned on the warm water as it started rushing.When the water was enough for me to bath, Venetia turned off the water and turned to face me. " Please take off your clothes Milady" she said.
"What? Do you want to bath me? " I asked.
" Yes Milady" she said.
" No I'll bath myself thank you" I said
Venetia looked outside the bathroom before looking back at me " Milady if Master Derek finds out I didn't bath you I'm doomed" Venetia said in fear.
" Don't worry he won't just wait for me outside" I said sturbbornly. After a while Venetia finally agreed.
"The towel is behind the door, if you need anything you can call me I'll be outside" I nodded my head and she left closing the door.
I began taking off my clothes, I don't even have to stress myself cause I was just putting on only the tattered slave cloth. I wasn't wearing bra or panties as we weren't given one.
I got into the warm water " oh God it felt nice " I took the soap and rub on my skin as I scrub dirt off my body.
I splashed on my body and wash my hair. When I was done I took the towel and dried my body and tied it round my chest as I called out to Venetia.
She quickly came and led me to the dressing room. I rubbed lotion on my body, Venetia gave me a beautiful blue dress. The dress had diamond stones around the waist area. I put on the dress as I stared at myself in mirror, the dress fitted me perfectly as though it was made for me.
And then I sneezed I must have caught a cold, I noticed that this place is cold as though one was put in a freezer.
" Here put this on Milady" Venetia gave me a thick blue fur coat. I collected it from her " thank you" I said and put on, I felt better now.
I sat on a chair as Venetia dressed my hair, then she started braiding my hair.
"What are you doing?" I asked her.
"I want to braid your hair Milady" she said.
" No I don't want to braid my hair " I said and Venetia parked my hair into ponytail with pearls.
While she was packing my hair I saw through the mirror that her hair was braided too I decided to ask her " why did you want to braid my hair".
"It's the culture here milady" she answered and I nodded cause I noticed that Master Derek's hair was like that too.
When she was done dressing my hair. We left the room as we got into a big hall and I resumed back in asking my questions.
Then we got to a long passage way, while walking I saw a giantess coming our way .
She was to tall and huge, she had greyish skin and long braided hair reaching her waist which she packed with pearls. Her eyes were blue just like Master Derek's eyes too.
"That's princess Astrid" Venetia whispered to me softly " she's the only princess of the royal family" I listened carefully.
I watched as princess Astrid walked pass us with her head held up high like the princess she was. Venetia bowed her head in respect and I did the same too.
We were just reaching her hips , I felt so small. " Where are the other princes?" I asked as soon the princess wasn't close to us again.
" Prince Liam and Prince Augus went out to hunt" Venetia said as I listened carefully.
"Oh" I said. We finally got out the castle , I could see Master Derek and another man talking. The man had same skin and long braided hair reaching his waist but his eyes were grey.
As we got close to them, they turned around as Derek eyes met with mine, he smiled " come here my love" he said as he stretched out his hand to me.
I walked up to him as I placed my hand on his. "You're beautiful my love" he said to me. I know I was beautiful with my black obsidian eyes and black long hair.
I smiled at him but the smile not reaching my eyes. "This my friend Magnus Hayes " he introduced me to the man. I waved at Magnus as I said " hi".
" Hey" he waved back at me with a smile. I turned around to face Derek to remind him about what he said earlier.
But before I could say anything he out his index finger on my lips " I know we will go get your friend now but promise me you won't be scared of me". He said to me. I nodded even if I don't know what he meant " promise me my love".
" I promise" I said .
And then I watched as Derek shifted into a big grey wolf as my eyes widened in fear.
I watched as master Derek transformed into a big grey wolf, my eyes widened in fear as I took three steps back. So this was he meant when he asked me to promise him not to be scared of him."He won't hurt you" Magnus said to me.I swallowed my saliva as I turned around to look at Venetia but she was not there anymore. I saw Master Derek's wolf lower down to my level so I could get on his back. But I was still scared to move close to him"Don't be scared, he won't hurt you" Magnus said to me again. I looked at him and saw that he was serious about it " you have my word, if he hurt you I'll punch the hell out of him " Magnus said as he demonstrated with his fist in the air.I breathed in and out before I managed to take one step at a time closer to the wolf. I finally got close to Master Derek's wolf as I used my shaky hand to grabbed his grey fur and climbed on his back as I sat comfortably."See it's easy" Magnus said to me as he smiled
"Are you ok?" Master Derek asked me with concern laced in his voice and worry in his blue eyes as he dropped me gently on the ground. The ground was cold I was thankful for the fur coat Venetia gave me to put on.I nodded my head when I've calmed down, " yes I'm fine I...... I had a bad dream" I managed to talk with harsh breath. " I... I saw myself back at the slaves prison. I saw him stab Elia and he stab me too with a knife" I said as tears dropped from my eyes." Shhh" Master Derek shushed me up as he patted my head softly " it's ok I'm here now" he said to me. "Sleep my love"I shook my head saying no " I don't want to have another bad dream again" I said as I looked up at him. Derek wiped away the tears from Aria's eyes."You won't have bad dream again, trust me my love" he said to me with a gentle smile on his lips. " Do you trust me? " He asked me. And I nodded my head saying yes."Good sleep now, you need to rest. Look we're almost there"
"Hey Elia I'm here" I tapped her again but no response. " She's not responding and her breathing is very faint" I said as I looked behind me to Magnus who was leaning on the entrance of the cell.His grey eyes met with mine " I'm not a doctor Aria let's just get her out of here quickly" he said to me.Of course I know he's not a doctor I said in my head " help me carry her " I said and Magnus sighed before he walked closed to me and carry Elia in his arms gently. Elia hissed in pains " careful please " I said and we left the cell going back to Leonard's office to meet Master Derek.*** When we got to the office , what I saw scared me to my bones. Dead bodies of guards everywhere, some of the guards heads were missing, some thier hands or legs. A guard intestine was out of his stomach, I wanted to throw up badly.The most shocking part was Leonard's head , hands and legs were missing. Just his body on the chair in the offic
It's been two days since we got Elia out of the slaves prison, and she has been in this deep sleep. I wondered why but she's fine as the doctor says, I'm glad she's getting better just waiting for her to wake up.For the past two days, I haven't see Master Derek or Magnus. I wonder where they are, I looked at the time it was six o'clock in the morning.I stretched myself on the bed, as I sat up I turned to look at Elia before coming down from the bed. Thankfully this wasn't Master Derek's room as the bed wasn't high but it was wide.I took off my clothes as I tie a towel around my chest after making sure the door was locked. I walked right into the bathroom, thankfully it was a normal bathroom, everything small for humans like me.I got into the bathtub, the water was warm as I wash my body with soap. I washed my hair, I thought of the time I was in that Godforsaken slave prison with Elia.The sour food given to us, the tattered clothes. We
"Ain't you the little rumoured human girl" I heard a deep masculine voice behind me, I turned around slowly to see who it was. Only to see a male giant staring down at me with his blue eyes. I cloud see the resemblance of Master Derek in his face, could he be his brother or cousin. But that's not the problem right now. I moved backwards as I held my rabbit safe in my hands. I'm in dangerI'm in dangerI'm in danger That was what was ringing in my head, I thought of running away. But even if I run i wouldn't even go far before he will catch. I just wished Master Derek or Magnus was here to save me, what Venetia said to me came to my head. ' king Ethan and Queen Clarissa threatened to kill you when they set eyes on you' Could it be that this giant in front of me was here to kill me, God even if he wants to kill me let him be quick so I won't feel any pains. Many things were going on in my mind, when all of a sudden.
"My love" he said to me , oh how I've missed his gentle voice , he hugged me back caressing my back. I disengage from the hug and looked straight into eyes which was staring back at me with a smile on his lips.He cupped my face in his large palm" did you miss me my love" he asked and I nodded my head." I'm sorry I left you alone, did anyone threaten you"."No" I shook my head and at the same time my stomach growled and my face turned crimson red in embrassment. I turned my head away avoiding his eyes.Derek smiled watching his little mate's reaction "didn't you had dinner already""Uh I ate fruits" I said."" Fruits?" He said and I nodded. " Did you go to the forest by your self " he asked frowning."" No , Prince Liam took me there. He said his your brother "." You met my brother?""Yes" I answered."He came here to meet you?""No , I met him at the garden, so he took me to the forest" I said trut
" Noooo" I screamed as I woke up from my horrible nightmare panting and sweating. My scream woke Derek as he sat up on the bed too moving close to me."My love what happened, why did you scream so loud" he asked me and I started crying." No. don't cry now, come here" he said pulling me close to his body as my head rested on his chest.He caressed my back calming me down as I was still trembling from the nightmare I just had."It's ok, I'm here don't cry" he said to me.When I'm calm, I pulled away from him as I dragged my legs up holding it as I placed my chin on my knees. My eyes were red from crying."Did you had a nightmare again" I heard him ask me and I nodded my head as I sniffed. " I saw him again" I said."He dragged me into a black hole " I said "his eyes were black and... and his tongue was coming out of his mouth like a snake". I said still shaking in fear.Derek wondered why his mate kept on seeing Leonard in
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS DEREK??" Clarissa voice rang inside the dinning room, she couldn't take it anymore.The fork I held in my hand fell back on the table when I heard the queen's angry voice. The question was directed to Derek but her eyes were staring at me angrily.When I looked up to meet her eyes, they were already red as her hand turned to fist, I quickly looked away. Maybe I shouldn't have come here, maybe I should have just been with Elia in the room.If not for the fact that I have nowhere to go, and Derek was the one who saved me from the slaves prison. I wouldn't be here in the first place, atleast I wasn't the only human in this city." what is it mother?" Derek answered his mother in a calm voice not even bothered if she was about to explode on her seat."Eat my love" Derek said to me as he picked the fork on the table and gave it to me. I smiled and collected the fork and but I didn't eat immediately.My gaz
