"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

I did not know if anyone was staring at me or not but I could feel eyes on me time and again. I had kept my head lowered and looked at my lap constantly.

This was stressing me. Why did someone have to come up with the tradition of sitting on a mate's lap? From a glance that I gave around the room I could tell that not many were sitting like this.

I tilted my head up and turned to Tristan. "Not many are sitting like this. Do we have to?"

"A king must set the right example, my love." He spoke and his eyes shined. "Why are you not comfortable? Do you want to lean against me?"

I looked away. He was doing this on purpose! I bit into another bite and before I knew it breakfast was over and Tristan was escorting need to my room to rest.

"Solomon," I addressed him outside the door while Tristan was standing with me, "can you bring me Diwal? That boy is not come back to see me and lord knows where he is."

Chains again?
