Alexander King (Chapter 7)

CHAPTER 7

A/N: Hola! I would like to apologize for not updating sooner as I got preoccupied with work and I got lost on track. I promise to make it up with every one of you.

‘’Get a rest, Your Highness. You badly needed one. I’m alright now, you can rest assured. I’ll have a room prepared for you’’ Princess McAllister said.

‘’Haven’t I told you that I can go on without sleeping, Princess? Can’t I just stay here with you?’’ He went on persuading her but really, it doesn’t work.

‘’Well, Your Highness, King Alexander, you are in my territory therefore you definitely must follow what I say. Unless you would rather want to spend some time in one of our cellars? I hate the idea of locking a vampire, and a king at that inside our cellars. Shall I go on?’’ She replied, raising her brows at him. Yes, they do have a cellar, specialized for shapeshifters, vampires, etc.

‘’Sigh, alright then. Get well, love.’’ He said lowly. Just in time that one of her guards came in.

‘’Princess, Your Highness.’’ He bowed.

‘’Tyler, show His Highness his room.’’ She instructed.

‘’I’ll be back, Princess. It’ll be morning before you know it.’’ He said and turned to leave, he doesn’t want to scare the human guard by teleporting to the room prepared for him.

She then fell into the abyss of darkness. A long dreamless sleep. It was like she has gone to someplace far away, like worlds away. She suddenly felt a pain in her shoulder, slowly opening her eyes, the kingdom’s doctor is hovering over her. It’s Dr. Hailey, she has been checking her condition every now and then.

‘’Princess, It’s good to see u up. Do you feel any pain somewhere?’’ she asked, smiling politely at her.

‘’Not really, except my shoulder, Hailey. I feel as though it would separate from my body anytime soon.’’ She writhed in pain.

‘’Try not to move your shoulder that much. And Prince Arthur’s father has been looking for you.’’ Dr. Hailey said, preparing to leave. ‘’And by the look of it, it needs your urgent attention. They’re waiting at the hall and just don’t move your arm.’’ She said.

‘’Thank you, Hailey.’’ She said, slowly getting up when Liz came in and supported her.

‘’Sha, easy, easy..’’

‘’Heard Leo has been looking for me?’’ she inquired, referring to Arthur’s father.

‘’Yes, they’re at the halls, and His Highness King Alexander has been entertaining them for 30 minutes now. We have been waiting for you.’’ Liz replied.

‘’Oh,? They still have the guts to come? For what? And by entertaining you don’t mean beating them up to pulp or sucking the life out of them, right?’’

‘’Uh, no, not really, just a bit more than that I guess’’ fear crept into her best friend’s face. She doesn’t really want to think.

‘’Oh no, we must hurry. Alexander has been very furious about the whole situation. ‘’

****

‘’You sure are brave, mutt. And you thought it would be really cool attacking the wolfe’s territory because your stupid excuse of a son didn’t get what he wants?’’ Alexander said, authority lacing his very voice. He is definitely furious, and that is an understatement.

‘’Since when was it your business to get involved with human’s matter may I say, Your Great Highness of Leeches?’’ Leo snarled, his face body was now beaten beyond recognition, but he’s lucky enough to be still breathing.

Alexander laughed, a laugh that would make you want to just disappear in an instant.

‘’How pathetic of you to come here and show your face after the whole situation. You should thank your lucky stars that although disfigured beyond recognition, your son is still breathing.’’ Princess Shania said, walking to the front of the hall to Alexander’s side.

‘’Princess!’’ Markus Sebastian and everyone in the hall bowed in due respect to their wounded princess and soon to be queen.

‘’Well, love, since you are here, please do whatever you see fit. Oh, And I wouldn’t say sorry for ruining this mutt’s face. It is for you to decide.’’ Alexander smiled, showing his fangs.

‘’You will be trialed accordingly, together with your son. I really haven’t thought that you would go as far as harming my people, Leo.’’ She said, fuming inside at the thought of her people being harmed.

‘’Hahaha, well now you get it bitch! And now you’ve become a vampire’s whore.’’ He laughed and spit.

‘’Am I? Oh Leo, Leo, you think I didn’t know your dirty tricks? Like father like son huh? Watch what you were saying, as this so-called vampire could just wipe everyone in your territory in a blink of an eye. And I see he’s been holding every ounce of self-control not to tear every piece of you and feed it to the rogues.’’ Princess replied lowly but everyone could clearly hear.

‘’My Princess, I’m waiting for your permission to wipe out his territory. My men are anxiously waiting. They are now surrounding the place. Just a thought of their Queen getting hurt made them soo hungry.’’ King Alexander turned to her, and said it out loud for her people to her and every one’s eyes bulged out and jaw hanging ajar.

‘’You will pay for this!’’ Leo screamed. His guards long gone.

‘’Throw him in the cellars! Tyler, you go with His Highness Alexander’s men. Carry out my order. They will be executed for initiating the attack. Exclude the children and women. You may leave.’’ She ordered.

‘’Luke, they can proceed!’’ Alexander ordered with authority.

‘’Yes, your Highness. ‘’ he replied, and was about to go but not before sparing a longing glance to his beloved, Liz.

‘’Since everyone is gathered here, please pay your respect to the Vampire King, His highness, Alexander King!’’ she said.

Everyone bowed with their questioning eyes. ‘’Your Highness’’ they said in chorus.

He just nodded at them.

‘’Thank you, Love.’’ He whispered in her ear. They sat down side by side and so as everyone else in the hall.

‘’You can ask now. I know you have questions. ‘’ Princess said.

‘’Princess, we know how hard it must have been for you. We owe you our lives.’’

‘’You did your part as well, and so did our Royal guards. ‘’

‘’But princess, there were men around our territory. The look scary as hell’’ one of the teenagers said.

‘’Rhian, they won’t harm you. They have to be on guard since their very King is here.’’ She replied.

‘’They’re vampires too?’’

‘’Yes, but rest assured of your safety.’’

‘’My Guards won’t bite you unless you let them. So you don’t need to worry. Also, you will be seeing a lot of me and my kind. I would like to ask your Princess’ hand for marriage.’’

Everyone in the hall gasped in utter shock.

‘’Your Highness? I-uhh…’’ Princess Shania stuttered in response.

Everyone was checking him out. But he wasn’t bothered by it as he has his eyes only for her.

‘’You are all dismissed. ‘’ Princess said. They bowed once more and made their way back to their home.
