Gus.
Everyone had long laid and all had long fallen asleep when I began to stroll to my chambers, it was almost dawn. As I walked into the dark hall of the fortress, I felt him. His presence was unusually strong and hovered around the mansion as if he was present. I felt the tension, the anxiety, and the terror before I even saw him. In the blink of an eye, The Commander of Grief stood right in front of me and had my knees buckling instantly to a kneel.I shivered in front of The Lord Caesar Monsorrie.“My Lord,” I spoke before my breath dissipated into thin air, my head was bent to the floor. I had never looked into his eyes before, and I didn’t dare.I could feel his stare on me, and I trembled before him.“Augustine.”He called my name, his cold voice peering through my sense of audibility, as goosebumps flooded my pale skin.“Welcome home, My Lord.” I managed, controlling my uneasiness. He is the highest entity in this realm so his presence made me feel uneasy.My eyes caught a glimpse of him and he was not in his true form, but the Aura that came from him was capable of snatching my immortality and seizing every soul in the entire province.“How did you sense my return, Augustine? You even prepared a present.”I could never get used to his presence so I cowered once again as he spoke.“M-My Lord?”A present?“Where did you get her?” He asked and began to stroll into the halls, leaving me turning my head to where he moved to.“Walk with me.” He ordered and I immediately did as he commanded even if I was slightly behind him.“Tell me, where did you get her.”My eyes strolled to his face for the first time in centuries and my eyes widened in awe. The Lord had a mischievous smile on his face.I tried my best to control the rate at which my heart thudded but I couldn't help it.This is unbelievable, mysterious, and fascinating all at once. The Lord permitted me to see his face and he just smiled.My entire body went stiff. Was I just fortunate enough to see this?I couldn’t get rid of the shock that seemed to have become my new expression, and if my skin could grow any paler, it would have.Did he have this expression on his face because of her?I furrow my brows in confusion but I didn’t dare to show it to him.Wait...Is he talking about the young miss? Has he met with her?“Is My Lord perhaps referring to Miss Kira?” I asked with a bow and crossed fingers“So that is her name.” I saw the grin on his face accompanied by curiosity. He seemed interested in her and I am astounded beyond recognition.“Who is she?” His question struck like lightning leaving me speechless and confused.He doesn’t know who she is?How is that possible? He married her.“S-She is your wife, My Lord.”He paused his steps instantly and cocked his head where I saw his eyes. My heart stopped.And with a devilish smile, his words stole a beat from my heart.“A wife?”****Kira.I opened my eyes to the light, feeling empty again, the warmth was gone. I ran my palms up and down my arms trying to convince myself that I was dreaming and it was a dream but no matter how I compared it, it felt so real. There was someone in my bed. His scent was plastered in my head, I felt his warm embrace, I felt his touch, his breath, his protection. I was buried in him.The night was not as cold as usual, I felt entirely different, I felt emotions I had never felt before rushing from all parts of me, so there was no convincing me that this was not real.I rushed out of my bed hurriedly as my eyes moved everywhere.What was I searching for exactly?Who am I searching for?My steps into every room in my chamber were far from fast, but no room held the person I searched for and it drove me insane.Have I gone insane?Have I been too alone and have begun to hallucinate?I ran my hands through my hair, lost in my thoughts so much so that I was oblivious to the knock on the doors and countless maids that strolled inside.My eyes strolled to them but my thoughts were not with them. Their faces were pale and filled with terror. They looked like they had seen a ghost but I was too conflicted to pay attention to their expressions.“Good Morning Miss Kira, We are here to prepare you for breakfast.”Prepare me?Why do I need to get prepared for breakfast?I am too bewildered to say anything. I just stand there and watch them speechless. I couldn’t formulate words because they were the least of my problems. I just let them do whatever Gus had ordered them to do, arguing would only prolong things and I would end up doing nothing the entire day.I watch them prepare my bath and my skin delicacies as a group of maids decide on the clothes I would wear.Something was off about it.They were treating me differently. They were suddenly treating me the same way they treated me the first day I arrived here.What’s the occasion?Maybe they want me to represent them in one of those ball galas where I am treated like shit.I said nothing and just watched them until they were all done. It felt as though I was getting married all over again.They dipped me in the scented water they prepared carefully and massaged my skin themselves.I was being treated like a queen.I watch my skin slowly grow softer right before my eyes.What are they using on me?The substance they used on me was totally different from the ones I use every day.They were just quietly doing their jobs, none of them uttered one word to me.After I was done with my bath, they rubbed and adorned me with scents and perfumed oils that made me glow as I was rushed with a beautiful silky gown.“You’re ready, Miss Kira,” Vanessa informed me.This was beyond unusual, should I be scared?I tried not to overthink, but it was impossible not to, so I just waved it offStill watching silently, they directed me out of the room and escorted me into the hallways.I roll my eyes at their actions already tired of all of Gus’s little orders. He definitely asked them to do this. This action had his prints written all over it.We walked from the hallway to the large halls, before the large doors were pushed open to the dining hall and that familiar scent my entire organs craved desperately traveled directly up my nostrils.“Here she is, My Lord.” I hear Gus’s voice before I even see him.And my body froze to the next thing my eyes encountered.Kira.I hear Gus's voice before I even see him and the next thing my eyes beheld had my body giving up on me. I struggled to keep still but I was unable to, a single glance my way had me unbuckling every single emotion buried deep inside me, and the thoughts that the vows I made were solely to the most beautiful man I had ever met in my life unraveled my vulnerabilities.I couldn't break eye contact with him. He was in my head. All I could see was him as everything in my body leaped for him. My breath, my thoughts, my eyes, and my soul belonged to the man who sat across the end of the table.I smelled him.Instantly, my eyes opened wide as the sudden familiar scent hit me, accompanied by vibrations.It is him!The person in my bed was him.I felt my heart rate escalating beyond my understanding, I couldn't believe it. Was this another dream of mine? Is this real? Who is he?His eyes...They were the finest textures of gold and the rarest I had ever seen. They lured me consistently wit
Caesar.Agustine?Did he not hear that I was dining with my bride?His steps were hesitant because he knew what he had done but he didn't stop anyway. He bowed with his face to the ground not daring to look in my eyes."My Lord". he called me. "Forgive my rudeness... but the council awaits you". He managed.What?The council?I look at her and her head is bent to her meal. She looks scared of me and I don't blame her. It has always been this way. I am the most powerful being in this realm, hence, I am the most feared too. Even if she is human, my presence still does a lot to her."See you it that she dines peacefully, Augustine". I tell him, but as I turn to leave, that intoxicating scent finds its way up my nostrils and I lose it for a minute. Unable to control myself, I lowered myself to her and it hit me again, depriving me of the ability to subdue myself.Her cheeks are as soft as the talc of the mountain of Zethithus, as I kiss it, she shivers and as I caress it, she shudders. I
Kira.It was Gus. He saved me.The large doors opened wide revealing Gus that walked in with terror written on his face. He knew his offense, he knew that he had interrupted The Lord but he had a remorseful expression as if he didn't have a choice.He strolled in.I tried to break free from his arms but he tightened his grip on me as if Gus was irrelevant and it was just us in the room. His eyes were still on me but my little uneasy expression and uncomfortable stares at Gus got him dragging his eyes slowly from me to the man that stood in front of the doors.Unhurriedly, he took his eyes back to me and directed his words at Gus. As I stared back at him, I noticed something in his eyes or maybe it was just me hallucinating again, but they darkened from light gold to darkish brown. Was I seeing right?"Speak, Augustine." He ordered.Without wasting time he did what he was told."My Lord, forgive my rudeness, but some relatives just arrived in the fortress and have asked for your presen
Kira.I see him, he is right in front of me but I am too bewildered to say anything; there was a feeling that came with all of these emotions that went on in my body, it was a feeling of being intoxicated. Every time I take a single glance at him, I want to throw myself at him. I want him to touch me and I want to give him my all, my body, my dignity, even my life.We have only just met today but I am already fantasizing about him, I am already hallucinating about his image in front of me.I have never felt this way before, I don't know what I am feeling, I want to stop but I am not in control of my body, the strong desires I feel for him are driven by a certain type of energy that takes over me like madness, like an obsession, and pushes a whirlwind of possession in my head.I want to see him all the time, and I want to be with him all the time. I want to bury myself in that scent of his that has suddenly become the reason I breathe. I want to feel him and I want to grasp all of him.
The entire council stood in shock and utter confusion as they watched their Lord dash out of the room without any reaction to the consistent tantrums being thrown at him. But amongst all of them, the most confounded remained his mortal enemy, Azazel.He was fazed and dazed at how his expectations failed. He was rather amused. He had predicted an outburst of Rage from Caesar and anticipated bloodshed but was astounded when an unexpected reaction came from him.There was a certain look in his eyes that he couldn't quite understand nor explain, it was as if he was distracted, there was worry written all over him; which is unbelievable because Caesar never worries about anything. He has nothing to lose and is undoubtedly heartless. He is the most untrustworthy being in the entire universe, sly in nature, and kills without remorse. A terrifying beast knew by every creature of hell. He is ruthless, aggressive, and a warrior raised and bred by the prince of lust himself. There is no way in
Kira.I sat on the bed dumbfounded and amazed all at once. His words kept playing in my head over and over and over again and I am shocked at how much effect they had on me so much so that it is difficult for me to breathe. I couldn't help but reminisce about the moment we just shared; how close he was to me. He claimed me, leaving me utterly speechless and at loss for words. I couldn't resist his touch, I strangely wanted to feel him for an unknown reason. I just couldn't pull away from him.And when he stared into my eyes, it was as though he was peering into my soul. He looked at me as though I was the most precious thing in the entire universe and for the first time in my entire life, I felt special. No one, not a single person since I came into existence had looked at me with love in their eyes when they stare at me, all I saw was hate and disdain from relatives and family friends. I have never been loved genuinely and wanted before, but ever since I met him, it had been like a f
Kira.As I lay on the left side of the bed, I turned my back to him, leaving a huge space in between us, and folding myself like a pangolin, my heart beating so hard as if I had run a marathon. I have never been this nervous my entire life as I am at this moment; even if we have been married for three years, it is just like the first night of our wedding because this is the first time I am spending a night with him.I feel hot, and I am blushing like a fool. I have been blushing like this since he got out of the bathroom and since he said those words to me.How can he take me unaware like that? How can I continue to live like this? How can he be like this? How can he be so calm and collected after what he just did and said to me? He made me this alert and he is just going to lay down calmly as if nothing happened?I was still in my thoughts when his deep voice called from behind."At this point, you are going to fall off the bed."I feel his stare on me and I tremble silently."Come c
Kira.I rotated on the soft sheets and stretched my limbs out, feeling a certain kind of comfort I have never felt in my entire life. Last night was a pretty intense one with so many emotions that were somewhat uncalled for.I and Caesar formed a bond out of an unexpected question and it still feels pretty surreal. It felt like a dream. As I struggled to open my eyes to the bright sky that was directly above me, I wondered why the ceiling glass was open; It is only opened at night when the sky is full of stars just for pleasure. Did he open it? I squinted my eyes a little to stop the bright sky from blinding me, using my left arm to shade my eyes, and lifting myself from the bed with the aid of my right arm.Taking my head down, I suddenly realized that I was alone on the bed. The space in which he had laid was empty. I moved my head as my eyes searched the entire room, still on the bed. Slowly, I shuffled myself out of the thick sheets and slid down from the humongous mattress.Where
