Derik walked to his chamber and plopped on his king size bed. He closed his eyes and smiled to himself. He was so excited to meet his mate, the future queen of Devunkory and the dark realm. Of course he thought if mating a random woman to just to be the king.

But deep inside he wanted to find his true mate but he wouldn't admit it. Mating means a lot to him, he has seen a lot of women who threw themselves on him, but he couldn't care less about them 'cause if a Royal blood rejects his or her mate, they'll end up in a lot of complications, things will get worse , their pride, their clan, and their purity will come to an end.

Not that Derik was only ready mate his enemy, Eeve because she's a Royal blood too, but also because he heard a lot of things about her being brave, bold, sassy and most importantly beautiful. He was so immersed in his thoughts that he didn't realise a second presence in his chamber. He was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard a deep chuckle. He hastily opened his eyes only to see his cousin brother standing at the edge of his bed with his hands on his hips, laughing like a lunatic.

Derik rolled his eyes in annoyance cause his dear brother ruined his fake scenario with his queen. He huffed and sat up. "What's with you, fucker!?" Derik asked annoyed! "Well, hello to you too brother." Ethan smiled and sat down on the bed completely avoiding Derik's death glare on him.

"Why are you smiling like an idiot!?" Ethan asked sitting cross legged giving derik his complete attention. Derik's face again cracked into a smile as he recalled his thoughts. "Ooo~ let me guess!! It's about the queen right!? Oh man you're so whipped. You didn't even meet her." Ethan laughed hard and plopped beside his brother on the bed. "Shut up" Derik said embarrassed. Yes, he was completely whipped for her. He didn't even see her, yet but just the thought of mating a girl like her gives him chills down his spine.

The both brothers bickered at each other for while and flew out to feed themselves.

Meanwhile, Eeve was sitting alone in the large library and reading peacefully. No one would be interested in disturbing the princess when she's in the library 'cause they will not be wishing to see her wrath. But a certain someone sneaked in the library and tip toed towards her.

Eeve slightly jumped in shock when she felt a pair of palms covering her eyes. But she quickly composed herself when she realised who the brat was! She sighed and spoke, "If you're having a death wish, then keep playing, Izan!" And soon the palms that were covering her eyes disappeared.

Izan flew and sat in front of her on the table and looked down at her with a cheeky smile. "Naah, you can't kill me. If you kill me, you'll die too." He said and smirked when Eeve's face turned annoyed. "Yeah that's the only reason you're still alive." She said and dropped her head in Izan's lap. He ran his long slender fingers through her silver hair. "Are you thinking about him!? 'Cause I can sense your distress." Izan asked soothingly and continued to masaage her scalp.

"Why are you always so sweet to me!?" Eeve asked and looked up at him resting her chin in his lap. Izan gave her warm smile and ruffled her hair. "Because, I am your Anchor. No matter what, I am always with you. I don't know what the future will bring to us, but I promised to myself to always stay with you." He spoke as he admired the beautiful Royal blood in front of him.

They are together since they were kids. The prophecy which was made centuries ago, chose Izan as Eeve's anchor. An anchor is supposed to stay with their assigned person no matter what. And when an anchor is around the assigned person, no one can hurt or kill the person. Anchors are gifted to those Royal blood vampires who are born for a cause. And this is the first time in so many centuries that someone has an anchor to protect them. And Izan took an oath to protect her even if it costs his immortality.

"What would I do without you, sunshine!?" Eeve asked with glossy eyes. She always looked up to him. Not only because he was her anchor but also because he was her soul friend. She would do anything to protect him.

"You would end up dead!" Izan laughed at his own joke and asked, "Now tell me, your highness! Why are you so stressed!?" Eeve sat up straight and looked at him. "I was thinking about the prince of Devunkory, Derik!" Eeve said with a straight face. "Ooo~ But aren't you happy to meet your mate!? If I were you, I would have bursted in happiness!" Izan stated. "I am happy. But what if he doesn't know about the prophecy and me being his mate!? If he knew about the prophecy, he would have called off the war that will be taking place in a couple of days. I just don't wanna kill or get killed by my mate."

Eeve said with a sad sigh. Yes, she was excited to meet her mate. She had heard a lot of good and bad things about derik. But she's not gonna judge him based on some of the useless maids' gossips. And she is afraid of the outcomes if he didn't knew about the prophecy and all the other stuff. "Everything is gonna be fine, princess. You just need to focus on yourself and your big bad Vampire mate. Focus on how to tame him." Izan said and wiggled his eyebrows at the end.

A faint blush formed on Eeve's face. "And since I am your anchor, I might find my mate in Devunkory too. 'Cause I am not letting you go there alone." Izan stated sternly and Eeve nodded her head. "And also since we both are seductive sinners, if I don't find my mate, I'll mate any other random guy, or I can even lure your man! Wow that actually sounds good!" Izan teased her and earned a smack on his head. "Don't you dare touch my man, bitch!" Eeve gave him a death glare.

"Ooo~ possessive much! Girl, you didn't even meet him. I bet he's a beast in bed, and I wonder how would he be looking on top of me~" Izan again spoke with lustful dreamy eyes. He again got a smack. "Shut up and get out before I Actually rip your throat!" Eeve stated with a straight face and leaned closer to him. Izan Disappeared from there with in a snap before yelling "I was joking!" Yes, he was actually messing around her, Even Eeve knew this but their day wouldn't end without fighting and bickering at each other~
