WAR (CHAPTER 5)

CHAPTER 5

ALEXANDER KING

It has been 2 weeks since the vampire king visited the Wolfe empire, Princess Shania has been smiling a lot lately. As she was having her breakfast together with her cousin Marc and Liz, they both spared her a suspicious glance and look at each other.

‘’What? Aren’t you both going to talk or shall I force it out of you?’’ raising her brows at them with questioning eyes…

‘’Well, you see, my Princess, you seem happier and prettier each day. What did you and His Highness, King Alexander talked about that you seem really different nowadays? I couldn’t seem to fathom what has been going on between the two of you that makes you look so much at peace?’’ Liz finally fired the question that has been bothering her since that day.

‘’Mind telling us? As it has been really irking our thoughts all these time. Princess, is there something we need to know?’’ Marc raised his questioning glare to his cousin, looking at her dead in the eyes.

Her eyes wide as saucers, face red, and jaws hanging ajar.

‘’What makes you think about all those rather absurd ideas?’’ she asked them.

‘’Really, Sha?’’ ‘’Really Princess?’’ both Liz and Marc replied.

*sigh*

‘’He offered me to be his Queen. It doesn’t make sense really. I’m just a mere human. How can I rule beside him in his world? He promised to keep the empire safe and sound, so as my people, our people… ‘’ she said to them, as they both listened attentively.

‘’And what did you say?’’ Liz asked, setting aside her plate.

‘’Sigh, I told him I will think of it. But the more I think of it, the more confused my mind have been. ‘’ she said lowly, looking away.

They all knew she’s been going through a lot. They understood how hard it must have been for her having the large burden as to manage an empire. The pressures, everything she has to go through.

‘’Princess, are you worried about our welfare? That if you will say yes to his proposal, you will have to sacrifice the empire? I say, with the looks of him, you both matched each other. A king of a vampire doesn’t sound so bad to me. We are only worried that it will put your safety at risk.’’ Marc said, smiling softly at her.

‘’We’ll be fine either way, Sha.’’ Liz said and hugged her. Steps could be heard from the outside, and the door was being slammed. They all got up and is high alert.

‘’’Princess, we are under attack!’’ her royal guard bowed towards her. Sweat dripping all over his handsome face, his clothes bloody, and sword dripping of blood.

‘’Marc, get me my sword, Liz, you go keep the women and children to safety!’’ she ordered. She’s a well-trained warrior. She has to fight these battle.

‘’But Sha! You have to come with me. Please, your safety is our topmost priority’’ Liz was about to pull her and she shook her head.

‘’You go, Liz. I was a warrior, a general at that, before I became a Princess. Keep the women and children and everyone to safety. You have to, that is an order!’’ she said getting her armor and sword from Marc. They have to run outside.

‘’Tyler, who dared to cross our borders?’’ she asked as calmly as she can.

‘’Wolves, your highness!’’

‘’Go, go, fight for your lives, fight for our empire!’’ howls, cries and the smell and sound of flesh ripping apart could be heard from the outside. Swinging her sword to every enemy that come her way, there were a great number of wolves and human trained warriors all around. She got a little distracted and a dark brown wolf came snarling at her.

It was aiming its bloody fangs at her neck and she had a little time to shy away from the attack, she hurriedly bent her way to her side and its paws slashing her cheeks. She then slashed its back as it is about to fall to the ground as it missed its target.

She looked around the mess, her warriors fighting harder, as there were still a lot more of the wolves and human trying to slaughter them. Slashing her swords here and there and then she saw a familiar face amongst the crowd.

‘’Prince Arthur! How inhumane of you to grace me with your bloody presence?’’ she asked him, smiling at him, that smile that promised death more painful and tortured in every way possible. Arthur has never seen a smile as hostile as hers.

‘’Princess, the pleasure is mine. You see, I’m not one who gave up easily. I get what I want. I have to have you in my bed, whether you like it or not. Tell your men to back down and your empire will be saved! You will be coming with me.’’ He said,

‘’Ah, as arrogant and selfish as you already are, you cocky bastard!’’ she said spitting on the side. She moved to the side, her sword aiming for his throat, but he quickly moved away slashing only his shoulders. The smell of blood is in the air, burnt flesh making her mind awake and she didn’t see the wolf coming to her.

‘’Princess! At your back!’’ her head warrior warned hear of the incoming attack while fighting his way off to her.

‘’She could faintly hear the noise, around. It was too late to move the wolf’s bloody fangs sank deep into her shoulder, her blood pouring. She used her other had to get her sword and pushed it thru the wolf’s jaw, again and again until it let go.

Arthur couldn’t move in his spot. As coward as he is. Well if you can’t be mine, then nobody can’t have you princess.

That was the last thing he thought before he was being stabbed from the back. It was Marc.

Princess has been losing her consciousness. She’s losing too much blood. The fight has stopped. It has been five hours now. The remaining wolves and enemies run for their lives.

‘’Marc, I want you to call His Highness, King Alexander. ‘’ she instructed lowly while she’s getting in and out of her consciousness.

‘’I will Princess, just stay awake okay? We will bring you to the infirmary, okay? Tyler, Leonard, please bring her Highness to the infirmary while I call his Highness, King Alexander. You! You, and you! Help the men clean up the mess. ‘’ Marc ordered his trusted warriors, he then nodded to Tyler and Leonard while he made his way to her office and call to the Vampire King.

Liz came running out from safety and saw Marc.

‘’Where is she, Marc?’’ she asked frantically, tears streaming down her cheeks.

‘’To the infirmary Liz, please go, while I take a call to His Highness’’ he hurriedly said without another word.

******

‘’Your Highness, you’ve got a call from the Wolfe Empire’’ Luke said hurriedly giving him the phone.

‘’Yes,’’ He spoke to the person on the line.

‘’She’s what?!’’ His voice loud and screamed so much authority everyone in the building could feel the ground shake.

Luke stared, eyes wide at the reaction on Alexander’s face. Furious, he looked really furious that his fangs threatening to come out, eyes red with rage.

‘’Luke, get me the fucking plane ready, and a thousand men to follow. To the Wolfe empire!’’ He ordered, preparing himself. Luke went out to inform the pilot.

They took off immediately upon getting the plane prepared. They were in their palace in Toronto, Canada for an important meeting.

He is restless. He just cannot decipher who dared hurt her Princess. Sigh. And why the hell was she out fighting? Damnation! He will really make that son-of-a-bitch suffer in every ways imaginable.
