CALLAI sat on my bed with my iPad in hand. Brent is beside me, watching me play. "Princess, you need to rest. How can you recover your strength when you play with your iPad the whole day? " Mira, who was fixing my room, said. You've been playing your iPad since morning.""Don't worry, Mira. I have already regained my strength. So don't worry. ""I thought you wanted to learn to control your power? ""I'm scared to do it here. I might destroy our room. ""Princess Amir said you can learn in the basement. " I quickly put down the iPad and looked at Mira. She smiled at me, and I returned her smile. I could hear her thoughts clearly, and I was getting good at it. "Where's Queen Sady?""She went out for a while." "Can you call Freya? I want to tell her I'm going to the basement to train.""Freya and her sisters go with Queen Sady, Princess. They will return in a few minutes." I smiled and held Brent's hand. "Where did they go? ""I don't know, Princess. Queen Sady only told me that it
CALLAI anxiously waited for the return of Queen Sady and others as I heightened my senses to any danger lurking around. I covered the room with the magical shield, but I don't know if it worked. Mira and Bobby stay close at the door while Brent sticks to my side. It's almost thirty minutes, but until now, we didn't have any news about Queen Sady. "Why, until now, they're not back?""Princess, you stay here with Mira. I'll go and see what was happening outside. " Bobby offered. "Okay, be careful. " He nodded and opened the door but quickly closed it again. "What happened? " "There's a hellhound outside, but it seems like something is preventing it from moving closer to the door. ""What a hellhound! " I rushed to the door and opened it, and two hellhounds were standing a few feet away from the door. They are trying to pass through an invisible wall, but they can't. I smiled, watching the two hellhounds growling, their saliva dripping from their mouth. "They're scary? Why they c
CALLAAmir and I went to the moon goddess shrine with Iris, Che Che, Uncle Luther, and Uncle Lucas to meet the remaining werewolves in the castle. I watched as they came one by, and I could feel their fear. "Greetings, Prince Amir, Princess Calla. "They greeted, kneeling before us. "Rise," Amir commanded. They stood up, and the parents hugged their children. Only a few of the more than twenty, including the children. "I want all of you to look at my eyes. " They panicked while the children started to cry. "Nothing to fear if you are not part of Dalton and Alona's rebellion. I only want to memorize your faces."Slowly, they raised their heads and looked at me, and I heard the thought of two of them. They are at the back, and one of them grins at me, and his thought is the loudest. "You can't catch me, Princess. If ever you catch me, I bring them all with me. The bomb can turn this shrine into ashes. "There's a bomb. " I talk to Amir through the mind link. "How? We only thought t
KING LEROYKING LEROY"I wiped the warm blood that trickled on the side of my mouth. This girl is my fifth victim tonight, but I wanted more. My need and thirst for blood are growing daily, and I don't know how long I can endure this.There's a voice inside my head forcing me to do all this evil thing. To kill. The voice clouded my mind of how sweet, fascinating, and appetizing human blood is. How does it feel when the human trembles in my hold as I suck them dry with their blood. How the warm blood tastes on the tip of my tongue, and how pleasurable it feels as the warm blood runs in every vein of my body.The voice is like a force that has the power of my body, and it can command me anytime it wants. I knew that voice. It was darkness inside me that was slowly consuming me. The darkness inside us slowly consumes a royal vampire like me the longer we live without our mate beside us. And like me, I've been living for many centuries, and my time is approaching. Our mate is the anchor
KING LEROYWe halted about a kilometer from the Sanguine border with my four trusted guards and thirty others. Sanguine coven only has a hundred and ten members, including females and children, and it would be easy for us to wipe them all."Sire, can we leave the children and females? They're innocent of what their members were doing." "Raul, if they stay away and do not do anything, okay, I leave them, but when they join the fight, don't leave anyone breathing.""Yes, Sire." They all answered."Okay, let's go." With vampire speed, we burst into their territory and killed everyone that our eyes passed by. Screaming and grunting echoed throughout the night and blood-drenched the ground. "Sire, please spare us." A woman hugging a female child, maybe two or three years old, begged, kneeling not far away from me, trembling in fear while the child was crying."Take them," I ordered one of my men, and I continued moving. I kicked the door, and Donovan, the coven's leader, quickly attacked
KING LEROY"You can do anything to me after this, Sire. Just please do it now." She urged. I took a deep breath."Raul, give me a knife." He quickly handed me a pocket knife, and without wasting time, I slowly cut her belly open. Her blood drenched my hand, and it was so inviting to lick, but I held myself. "A little bit more, Sire." The woman said. I cut deeper but was careful not to hurt the baby inside. When it was big enough, I slipped my hand inside but quickly pulled it when I felt a current run through my hand. I looked at the woman, and she smiled."Take her out, Sire." She urged me. I put my hand inside again, and I felt her head. I feel the current again, but this time, it gives a warm feeling. Slowly, I pulled her out, and when she was finally out, she wasn't breathing and a bit blue."Hold her upside down, Sire." I did as Amara told me, but still, she wasn't moving. I panicked, as well as the woman. I held her closer to my chest and softly patted her back. "Open your eye
KING LEROYThe following night, many came to see my fake mate. All the leaders of different covens came to pay their respect to their Queen, and we buried Arabella after. I know everyone was waiting for me to go berserk. It happened to us when our mate died. We become feral or end our lives. Instead, after the burial, I locked myself inside my room and instructed Raul to introduce Amara, Cheche, and my mate to everyone, but I sneaked into the meeting hall, making sure no one saw me. I wanted to see the reaction of my people to their arrival."This is Amara, a member of the Sanguine clan. King Leroy spared her life for saving these two human children. They're the children of one of the human prisoners at the Sanguine clan, but she's already dead. So King Leroy took them in to live with us." "Humans are not allowed to live with us. They're just going to die soon. You knew their blood was like a magnet pulling us with them." One of many vampires said."Can you smell their blood now?" T
A knock at the door comes, and Amara steps inside. "Sire, the food is ready.""I'll be down in a few minutes," I answered and fixed the paper scattered on my desk before I followed Amara downstairs.The six kids were already sitting at their respective high chairs digging at their food, and the rest of the vampires staying in the castle bowed their heads as a greeting.I sat at the head of the table, and a servant quickly placed a plate of fooKING LEROYA knock at the door comes, and Amara steps inside.
