Well, what can I say? I say, its really worth a try. Although I have been very nervous but it was all worth it.
I don't want them seeing me weaker than they thought humans are. I am a princess for God's sake!
We too have the right to live, no matter how chaotic the world is. Soon I will be crowned as Queen of the Wolfe Empire.
And I have to do all these for my people.
Alexander King, the King of Vampires, he is far more than what I thought of him.
He is like the devil-incarnate himself and yet equally as enticing as a Greek God himself.
Those deep-black scrutinizing and alluring eyes that would make your insides squirm, his beauty is as mysterious and interesting as his own person. My thoughts were interrupted when my phone rang.
''Hello? Markus Sebastian, Is there anything of importance that you need my help with?'' I asked my cousin Markus.
He was in-charge of the empire while I was gone.
"Your highness, everyone is worried about you, Your safety is our priority and I'm afraid by attending the treaty, it may endanger your existence.
Glad to know you're still kicking and-" he rambled on but I cut him off.
''Oh Markus, you have trusted me enough to manage the affairs of the court, just let me do this one thing in return, for having faith in me.'' I couldn't help but smile.
"Shannia Wolfe McAllister, you truly are a princess. Be safe always, everyone misses you dearly.
Oh, and Prince Georgie was here, he missed you soooo dearly" he teased me, and I groaned, he knew I don't feel the same way as Georgie.
He's so full of himself, and is a power-hungry being.
"I'm soooo gonna get back at you Markus Sebastian Wolfe!" I whisper-yelled at him. He just laughed so hard.
If he wasn't my cousin, he'd be good as dead.
Kidding aside, he's the best cousin I could ever wish for.
I then ended the call with Marc laughing at the thought. I'm so done for tonight and I badly needed a shower.
*******************************************************************************************
So she went to the bathroom and after adjusting the water temperature, she went under the shower in a haste.
As the water went pouring on her skin washes the day's event. It has never felt sooo refreshing.
Adjusting the water temperature went under the shower, the water poured on my skin, washing away todays event. It feels refreshing...
She applied her cinnamon flavored shampoo and conditioner, then the lavender scented soap. She then walk out of the shower and blow-dried her hair and put on the night gown.
********************************************************************************************
The terrace is quiet inviting, so I went out and inhaled the wind while closing my eyes. The hair on my neck pricked and I feel someone is watching me so I opened my eyes and look around.
A shadow loomed over the terrace opposite to mine. Then slowly, the shadow moved to the light, and damn was it hot.
The alluring Greek-God of a vampire just took my breath away..
He's looking at me intensely, made my insides churn in anticipation. Damnation! What the heck am I feeling?
I didn't notice how long I have been checking him out. His ebony hair, messed up in a good way, tanned skin glowed in the dim light, his muscles, a sign that he's been working out, his abs almost popped out of his button-up shirt. Looking back up, He was already smiling like the predator that He is. Gulping, I smiled, nervously, afraid I will be his midnight snack.
In a blink of an eye, he burst into thin air.
"Where did he go? I'm sure he was just there and-" I was cut off with a husky voice that churns my insides.
"Looking for me, Princess?" He whispered in my ears.
"Holy freaking cows! How did you do that?! You didn't just teleported, did you?!" I whisper-yelled. He just chuckled.
"Haha! If you call it that then yes, Princess, I just did. What were you doing going out of your terrace in the midst of the night? You could be anyone's midnight snack" he said darkly making me squirm under his gaze.
"I- I just needed some fresh air and I thought I should get some. I should probably get inside. Goodnight King oldie." I hurriedly turned around and realized what I just said, glancing at my back as I held the door knob, he looked really shocked, its my turn to run, and hurriedly closed the door.
Alexander King's Pov:
Did I just hear what I have heard? That human is impossible!
"Lukas Smith Telford!" I called for my first in command and he hurriedly went inside my office.
"Alex, what's the rush?" He questioned my confused expression
"Do I have wrinkles?" I asked him out of my mind, he then laughed really hard at my question
.
"I don't like repeating myself Lukas Smi-"
"Hey! Alright, alright! Not that again. You sound like my mom Alex!"
"Well don't try me Luke. Now answer the goddamn question!"
"Didn't your mother ever told you that vampires don't have wrinkles?!" He scolded me. I just groaned and scratch my neck.
"I know okay? I was just curious as to why someone, a human at that, just called me king oldie!" I explained, Luke being Lukas, his eyes went wide.
"Oh, let me guess, the Princess? Since she's the only human in here. Aside from the hotel attendants that is."
"She's quiet an attitude. I want to know her further. How's the council doing? And the kingdom?"
"Alex, a group of rogue wolves has been seen in the north border of our territory. But they have been captured by the warriors.
Johan is fuming of what happened to his daughter at the ballroom and wanted to drain the human princess." He said.
"What about the brat? I don't give a damn about that girlfriend of yours Lukas. I could tear her apart, pull her heart out of her chest and feed it to the wolves for all I care. She should know the rules, it was clearly stated on the treaty signed by all the leaders, kings and Princess McAllister.
If Johan has a problem with the human, then he has to answer to me. Interrogate the rouge wolves, inflict as much pain as you could, inject them with undiluted silver to weaken their system and torture them until they spill the beans." I said and sighed.
"Yes, your highness!" He answered in haste and went out of the room.
Removing my pants and shirt, I'm left in my boxers and crawled on my bed. Vampires could go without sleeping, but it doesn't hurt if we do sleep sometimes.
My mind drifted yet again to the sweet scent of the human princess. She just looked so inviting, innocent and she screwed the life out of me.
The tingles I've felt when I touched her skin at the ball. She couldn't feel it just yet because she didn't know.
She did not know she's my beloved. With that thought, I let darkness consume me.
"King Alexander, what are you-" the little minx whispered when I held her close to me.
"My princess, I really wanted to taste you ever since I saw and smelled you." I whispered back to her. My hand on the back of her neck, pulling her closer, as I watched her lips hungrily. She licked her lips unconsciously. I need to have a taste. Closing the distance between us, I kissed her hungrily-"
A knock woke me up from my wonderful dream.
"Your highness? Everyone is waiting for you at the hall." Who else kept disturbing my peace of mind? Luke mind-linked me. That dream, it feels so real having her in my arms. Damn, I need to go get ready.
