The first to emerge from the doorway was David. Everyone's eyes were trained intensely at that spot, all excited and at the same time apprehensive of what might come through it. As David lifted his head upon exiting, he saw everyone looking at him in alarm as his eyes were red and he looked as if he had just barely escaped with his life from something – and that something was one which is dangerous. What the hell! Did the princess fail and now the prince was after David?"What's wrong?" The men asked but David could not even bring himself to speak as of yet. It could be seen that he was trying his hardest to control himself, his hunger."The princess… what happened to –" Zolan froze and could not finish his statement as right at that moment, everyone began to smell an indescribably mouth-watering sweet scent that wafter over to them. That scent alone caused every single one present there to freeze and lose all rational thought or questions they had running through their minds.It was a
Zolan was not surprised that there were already a few Werewolves hanging around outside – in fact, he somewhat expected it. She was not even bleeding anymore and yet her scent was like a spilled perfume.Seeing that Leon was the one who blocked the Werewolves from barging into the library, Zolan looked at the man with curiosity. Everyone, most obvious being Levy and Reed, still had their eyes at varying stages of red. Thus, what could be expected of the common Werewolves who were also still deeply affected as though they were drugged with an extremely potent poison.But as he turned to look at Leon, the half-blood did not seem to be affected by the scent like the rest of them were?Zolan nodded at David to keep their comrades in check until the scent was completely gone before he approached Leon."All of you, leave this place, now. It's an order from His Highness." Zolan said. The Werewolf hesitated but when the air was finally clear from that sweet but deadly scent, their eyes calmed
"Amazing! The scent is completely gone! There is not even a trace left!" Levy exclaimed with eyes as wide as saucers. The men followed after Romeo – who was carrying Roselle protectively in his arms – as they all headed to the chambers of the prince and princess."Leon truly has done an amazing job. He used a strange herb on her wound." Zolan said and the others looked at Leon with amazement.Leon looked away and rubbed the back of his neck with his palm. "It wasn't that amazing. It's a common knowledge for humans. My mom is a human, so naturally, I have learnt about these things.""Still … that's quite amazing. We wouldn't have known heads or tails on what to do if you weren't here." David said in a serious tone when Zolan spoke."Are you certain this is a common knowledge, Leon?" he asked, questions and curiosity brimming in his intelligent eyes. "None of us have ever heard about any of the herbs that could completely hide the scent of a bitten human. Because the princess is now bitt
Romeo finally lifted his face, his hard eyes looking at the duchess with questions."A royal Werewolf doesn't taint a human virgin's blood when they bite them. This explains why the princess's scent remained the way it was before you bit her."The lines in Romeo's forehead deepened. He wanted more explanation. "This is apparently one of the royal family's secret. Here is one of the books that your mother entrusted into my possession for safekeeping before she left Dacria. And now I am returning it to its rightful owner. She said she had found these hidden in one of the secret dungeons in the imperial palace. Unfortunately, these books are the only surviving books about the real royalties left in this world. All of the other books have been destroyed by the emperor." The duchess said as she set the few volumes of books on the table.Seeing that Romeo at least looked a little better at what he heard, the duchess sighed in relief. She knew that Romeo was not just loathing himself right no
Currently, the statue that was named Romeo was frozen with shock and could not move for a while. When Roselle was about to speak, he dropped his head a little lower, and he drew in a breath that was not quite steady. He inhaled in such a slow but greedy way like how addicts absorbed a narcotic smoke.Roselle creased her brows. But when she perceived that it must be because of her blood, her heartbeat raced. Oh no.Suddenly losing her powers of speech, Roselle just stared at him with anxious and worried eyes. Her nerves still seemed to still be asleep at the moment that her brain was slow to respond in telling her what she should be doing or saying. Those large, crystalline eyes trained themselves on Romeo, silently observing his every move."Damn it," Romeo whispered all of a sudden. And before she could register in her brain on what was happening, they were inside their chambers again.Romeo hastily but gently laid Roselle down on their bed but instead of pulling away, he held himself
"Seduce me all you want." His hot and moist whisper caressed her ears, causing goosebumps to travel over her skin."I… I don't know how…" Roselle said dazedly. She could not help it. He has yet to kiss her, and she was already feeling drugged by his hypnotic gaze and everything he say or do. Everything about him was just so intoxicating. "I don't know how to seduce…" her voice trailed off in embarrassment."That's not true, love… you always know how to drive me insane. You get under my skin like no other does. You're an effortless seducer, Roselle. Even right now…" his throat worked. "You don't even realise how ravishing you look right now… oh, gods… I want to…" he squeezed his eyes close tightly.Romeo was distracted by the sight of her luscious and plump lips. The whole time during the last two days were excruciating for him. He remembered when he parted with her before the battle started. She had told him that he had the permission to touch her once he returned and that he told her
At the sudden soft but determined lips of Roselle that descended on him, Romeo felt his whole being jolt in shock. Romeo had never expected a kiss to be coming so voluntarily and determinedly – especially one from his usually shy and reticent wife – so his eyes widened at the touch of her supple and pouty lips against his, unable to believe what was happening. Was she really kissing him without him asking? This had got to be a dream, albeit a crazy wonderful one though. And he was not minding it one bit. That was right, he was not the one who was asking for a kiss. He simply told her to persuade him! He did not … then why… oh, God…A blurry memory flashed in his mind and Romeo saw Roselle kissing him in the darkness. That was right, this was not actually the first time she had done this. She had kissed him like this too in the dungeon, back when he was still under the influence of his inner monster. Though there were flashes of memories that he could somewhat recall, Romeo's memories a
She fell backwards but just before her back could hit the ground, Romeo caught her. He could have easily kept himself from falling as he caught Roselle as well, but Romeo was just too disorientepd and stunned from that memory that his body and brain were a split second later in responding.And thus, he fell along with Roselle, twisting his strong and agile body at the very last moment so he would be the one to fall on the ground first in order to cushion her, allowing her to have a softer landing and not get hurt. His arms curled protectively around her as well, not wanting her to even sustain a scratch on her precious self.Roselle was still gasping from their intense kiss when she pulled her body up and looked down at him. Why did he jerk away so suddenly like that? Her gaze was full of questions and there was also a little spark of discontent shining in them as she pinned her large eyes on Romeo.The sight of him lying on the grass and his eyes reflecting the moonlight made him look
