We were shown to our room which was on the top floor of the west wing where all the guests were staying. It was a large room with a living room, closet and a large bathroom. We were here to refresh before dinner which was thirty minutes from now. The king was nearly done in his tux and I on the other side was just a mess. I would have been done if my lady in waiting was not sitting on the bed eating ice cream. I turned and turned with no hope of fastening the zip at the back of my dress.
"Belle, come on, bring your tiny hands here." I shot out. She was such a pain in the ass with a mouth that ran as if she suffered from verbal diarrhoea.
"Okay, wait a minute though, I am about to finish." She said back with her squeaky voice. I shook my head in frustration.
"Now Belle." I shot out ready to walk out of this screen and pull her toddler ass in here.
"Okay," She said back, hearing the patter
"Queen Tiara, King Bad-wolf." I said back to them, giving them a bow of my head for their pleasure.The vampire king did not say anything, making everyone wary with their eyes. They stole glances now and again, afraid to even whisper among themselves. My father nodded, making his way to the chair which was at the edge off the table. The chair next to the king was vacate along with the chair next to the werewolf queen. Ladies were supposed to seat at the left of the table while all the man sat at the right as per rules. I pulled out from Vampir’s wing only to be pulled back in."What are you doing wife?" He questioned with all eyes snapping back to us."Going to take my seat," I whispered back to him but it was futile as everyone in this room had sensitive hearing."Come," He said walking to where he was supposed to be sitting which was in between the werewolf king and Dragon king.
No one had to tell me as I shot out of the bed, running to the bathroom to empty the contents of my stomach. My hands gripped on the toilet bowl as I emptied all that I had had the previous night. My head was pounding with my throat dry as I heaved over the toilet seat. My whole body shook with the tears streaming down my face. Everything was burning hot with nothing but sweat covering my whole body. My hair was suddenly pulled back as I went for round three, pouring all that my stomach held over the bawl. My mouth burned from that passed my tongue, as if acid had just slipped out. My eyes closed, my head leaning on the toilet seat. I felt his hands rub my back, his touch bringing such comfort to me, taking away some of the pain that had me so pale.My whole body shook as a sob escaped me. I did not know what was happening, so scared to find out. My body was scooped, face buried in his chest where he held me. Vampir’s scent sent me on ease, taking whiffs o
I stood where I was, not daring to cower from him because, hell, I was not scared of him. My heart drummed yet I knew I was not scared of him, not even in the slightest. His feet came into a halt, his scent attacking my nostrils, making me nearly sneeze."What have you done?" The question came as his hand flashed so fast I barely caught it as he gripped my jaw so tight, sure to leave it bruised. My heart was frantic not knowing what to do as I stared at him dead in his eyes."Let go of me before I cut that hand of yours," I said through gritted teeth, watching as the smirk returned on his face."I don't know how you are still alive but I will kill you myself if you don't get rid of that thing." His words left me pale as I stood suddenly shaking like a leaf."What thing?" I dared to ask."Your husband may be a fool but I am not. Everyone heard it, everyone knows. You will ge
A knock at the door had me scrambling to the closet where I hid the bottle under my folded clothes. My heart was pounding, not wanting to be caught with the poison as it would render me guilty with no other option but to hang."Come in," I shot through, walking out of the closet, wondering who it was. One of our guards came in pushing a cart full of food, my stomach turning at the sight."Afternoon my queen," He greeted."Afternoon to you too, how are you doing today?" I asked, my shaking hands hidden from sight, in my skirts. My heart beat was so loud I could not miss the guard giving me a questioning look, knowing he was wondering what had me so hyped."Good your majesty. I have brought you your lunch. The others went to find their mates with the king." He stated, placing the different dishes on the table in the living room."Thank you." I said to him only for him to turn and w
"I think that is okay Belle," I objected as she poured more highlighter on my cheekbone."No your highness, they need to gasp, and some faint even when they see you. Don't be shy now." She said, standing in her chair with the brush stroking the powder, blending it with my skin. I did not even want to see how I looked having seen all the things she put on my face with colors like pink and red. This girl would have me look like a freak show yet I sat there, her body hiding me from the view of the mirror as I felt the soft brush stroke my cheek.A chuckle came behind us and I knew who it was. I dared to turn my head to look back only to find the king standing at the door of the closet, fully dressed."Hey!" Came Isabelle, scolding for just turning away but I could barely even hear her as everything went buzzing. A smirk was placed on the king's face with his eyes on us. I could not breathe, could not even blink as I sat there frozen."Holy shit," Isabelle said to herself, knowing exactly
His hand was suddenly withdrawn and I found myself staring at thin air in front of me with him gone. I stood there shaking like a leaf, not knowing what had just happened but scared and scarred for the rest of my life. My whole body itched, it being that intense. I could not move, could not even blink as I stood there with the tears flowing down not even sure why I was crying. It was ten minutes later when I turned only to find Isabelle huddled at the corner shaking like a leaf herself. Her eyes were wide open as if she had just seen the ripper about to take her soul. Her legs were brought up to her chest as she shook so bad. I wanted to comfort her but even after all this time I found myself unable to move. It seemed my limbs were paralyzed and at that moment I felt it. My stomach was warm but warm from within. I could not describe it, it was a feeling of warmth. My hand went over to my stomach, lying on it. More tears pooled out, rolling down my cheeks as my heart skipped a beat. A
"The king is waiting for you." Isabelle said after the long-stretched silence with both of us lost in our own thoughts. I did not even want to go to the ball anymore yet I had to. All this suddenly seemed insignificant with the threat of war looming in the air. I wanted to scream, to freak out yet I found myself calmly walking out of the door with it closing behind me. Four men stood at the door, waiting to escort me to the king. The four vampires bowed, making a circle around me as I walked. I looked but could not see, everything seeming to be in slow motion as the click of my heels echoed all over the hall with my hips swaying, my eyes blinking with my mind absent. The elevator was swiftly scanned before the two guards came back to give a thumbs-up that it was clear. We all ushered in the elevator, my head turning, watching all of them with their bowed heads wondering what would happen to them if this war did come knocking at our doors. My mind drifted to if the king knew and how h
We walked up to the stage where the other rulers of the other realms stood watching everything unfold. There was nothing but deadly stares staring at us but what else would you expect. The vampire king snapped his hand and suddenly all the other people in the room finally stood up, their heads still bowed yet there were those that dared to steal peaks. No one dared to say a word with even the music stopped, everyone scared to pick up the conversation again. We walked, closing in on the royals only for our steps to come to a halt. I looked up, seeing that more rulers had joined us including the fairy king and giant king. We said our greeting, everyone uptight and walking on egg shells. I found my mind drifting away with the chatter slowly coming back up in the room with the music back playing. The whole room was just tense.Chairs had been placed for the kings and queen on the stages. The werewolf king sat on his throne along with the queen then it was my husband
