"You are not human, like us, are you?" The words left my mouth in whispers as my eyes glanced around eyeing the destruction caused by the two men. 

Two men who had effectively taken out Twenty guards. All heavily armed and trained. 

But now, not even one old get up. 

"What gave that away?" My companion, who I had feelings for, mocked. 

"Perhaps the strength we displayed caused her to see reality," in the blink of an eye, he was in front of me making me stumble back in fear. "Is that not true, Princess?" 

I looked to the man who was silent and ever watchful. "Why? Why were you not true?" I loved him, only him I let myself feel for. 

He glanced around and spotted Diwal, my trusted advisor. "No one is true in nature here," he pointed to my advisor, "Not even him." 

Unwanted tears came to my eyes as I glanced around me. I could die tonight and it would all be in their hands. 

"Don't worry, your highness, it's just the time for it to come to light." 

My advisor smiled and so did the other two men.

A gentle yet cold bastard prince. 

The bulky, muscular King to be. 

And a Princess.

The Princess's Dangerous Vampire Mate

Merilyn kept her hands around me as I came in turns to the reality of what had happened. I felt such heaviness on my chest to realising that I had failed him some how even without knowing what I had done. It pained me inside. Not only that but I realized that he had to answer about what I felt over my neck.

My breathing slowly returned to normal and the pain in between my legs vanished like it was never there before. I pulled away from her and she let me. My eyes ran around the room in search of Tristan but he had left and so had Allan.

"How do you feel?" Merilyn asked and soothed my hair.

I shook my head slowly. "I do not know," I admitted. "What was that?"

"You are not supposed to touch the mark," she told me, which frustrated me.

"Merilyn," I huffed in impatience, "that is also what Tristan said. I need to know why I can not touch what is on my body?"
