Lucien's pov.

All my life I've never felt so terrified of losing someone.

By the time I realised that the witch had given me a death potion, as revenge for the Queen sleeping with her husband.

The damage was already done.

What's worse is I couldn't give Edith my life energy because of a barely visible mate bond.

I'm so lucky that Mila had enough to save her.

Edith still looked like she was dying and I was greatful that she teleported out of here.

What is this panic feeling ? I knew I had done enough and should leave them alone.

But I'm selfish, I need to hear Edith's voice to see if she won't die.

I wanted to Teleport to the resort to apologize in person.

But I caught myself at the last moment not wanting to make things worse.

My fingers trembled as I dialed her number.

Her voice soothed me, I didn't care how harsh it was.

Not only did she reject me but she wanted to make it official through a divorce.

I wish I could sign those papers and let Edith and Mila sail to the sun set.

But my family would see Mila as the cause of the divorce.

I did my research and Mila had Alot to lose than Edith.

Mila's mother is very human.

If the divorce papers were to arrive now,

it would be Mila's mother's funeral.

The Queen played dirty which is why the witch wanted to hurt her by poisoning my mate.

She assumed that the mate bond between me and Edith is strong, and I would give my powers up to save her.

I'll try to buy Mila and Edith some time to properly hide.

I called Riley to pass on the message to Edith to lie low for six months after leaving the resort.

I walked up to the throne room and my mother beamed with happiness when she saw me.

Her smile immediately drop as she adjusted her crown as she got up to look at me.

"What happened son?"

She asked worried as she took both of my hands in hers.

"Why did you sleep with Chelest's husband?"

I asked and my father choked on his wine.

My mother's eyes widened in surprise before masking it quickly with a smile.

"Don't pay attention to rumours son."

The Queen clearly didn't expect to be confronted by her son.

She begin to fan her face in the cold room.

"Mother, Celest gave me poison instead of a love potion!

I personally have never fought with her or her kids or husband.

I saw you do it."

I added and my father got off his seat to approach me with dangerous steps.

He punched me over and over as my mother got in the middle to stop him.

"You attention seeking brat! How dare you lie about my Queen?!!

Your own mother who gave birth to you!!!"

Shouted the King already bending fire from thin air with blue flames to kill me.

"Everyone please calm down this is what that commoner wanted.

She obviously possessed evil spirits in him.

Honey, if you want to hurt my son you'll have to go through me."

Said the Queen as water danced on her palms.

Challenging the King was treason punishment was death.

I'm sorry Mom, but your death will free Edith.

"You dare challenge me?"

Asked father seething with rage. Tears rolled down my eyes as I created a hologram big screen of the memory.

My mother was kissing Chelest's husband savagely that her crown fell.

The man wripped her clothes into pieces with one pull and my mother giggled like a little girl.

He sank his teeth into her neck and she touched his chest.

"You'll die for this Lucein!!!?!!!"

shouted my mother brokenly,

bending water and air to try to freeze me to death.

But my father created a fire wall that hissed when she blastered me.

"Interrupt him one more time and I'll kill you here and Now Lucy!"

Said the King furious at her attempt to kill me.

Than Chelest's husband went down on my mother and she moaned in pleasure licking her lips.

"Lucien.....why?"

Said my mother with teary eyes trembling and I paused to video.

"I'm so sorry mother, father deserves the truth.

I haven't been the same after catching you in the act.

I can't keep carrying this guilt every time I look at father."

I said and watched my mother staggering in disbelief.

This night was before her wedding.

I needed to find my coat so I went into my father's room to look for my mom.

At age 7, I didn't know what was happening. I just recorded it and kept it.

Once I found out what it meant I didn't have the courage to share it.

I carried on playing the video, the man took my mother pounding her in every position her body could allow.

She was enjoying herself and would kiss him and looked at him with lust.

Chelest's husband is a Duke while Celest was a commoner.

His stupidly handsome and well built.

I would hear the maids whisper that he was my mother's first option.

She had a crush on him but he married Celest instead.

So she wanted to prove to Celest and herself that she could bed him.

Give him temporary love marks in hidden places that only Celest would see.

When the Video was over fire shimmered and flicker in my father's pupils.

This is for my triplets, to protect their mother.

I kept reminding myself as tears flooded my vision.

My father wordlessly chopped my mother's head clean off with his bare hands.

I watched it roll to the other side of the room.

"Mother! I'm so sorry it all my fault!?!!!!"

I screamed holding a stiff hard body.

The Royal gaurd pulled me away kicking and screaming from my mother's body.

Father's hands created fire and blasted it to her body once, a guard had placed her head on top of it.

To be honest it didn't feel worth it as I watched her burn as I screamed

As if she could rise up from nonexistence.

"Take the prince to his room. Chain him up so he doesn't hurt himself.

Use the special chains.

You've done well son, your mother pit us against eachother.

Convinced you that I'm a monster.

I guess after today I proved her right.

I'm sorry son."

Said father as he started to calm down.

Regret shone in his eyes but he looked at me with pride, like I did it for him.

I didn't bother fighting the gaurds as they led me to my room.

After a month. My father walked into my room and noticed that I haven't been fed.

"The gaurds are loyal to my mother. They are trying to teach me a lesson."

I whispered as I coughed up and a sharp thirst hit my throat.

"I'll kill all of them. They will burn just as she has.

Wait here. I'll bring you servents to feed on."

Said my father who brought firmiliar looking guys but I was too thirsty to care.

One I was satisfied both of them layed empty of blood.

My vision was more reliable as I looked at their faces.

Ethan? Justin? My boyfriend and best friend layed limp not moving.

As a royal I fed on other Vampires not people.

There was nothing I could say to this and I Sheded tears when the Queen died.

Ethan and Justin's death was easier to digest.

Father unchained me and hugged me.

"I'm sorry I lost my temper and Killed your mother.

Is there anything I can do for you. List it I'll do it all.

Know that I never meant to do it."

Said Father and I enjoyed the first hug I've ever received from him.

"I want to divorce Edith, You can find me a powerful husband."

I said to which he looked at me shocked.

"Veroc Silver wants me, you know how powerful he is."

I quickly added name dropping my worst nightmare.

"H-he likes men?"

My father asked flustered like he just realised something.

"Lucien! I swimmmed naked with him in my man cave!

You telling me that he wasn't looking at my tattoos like he said?!!!!"

Father freaked out and colour coated his cheeks.

"Well he said he likes my face."

I said filtering the perverted things he always said to me.

"Lucein, you don't look like your mother!"

My father exclaimed and I haven't been so close to him infront of a mirror.

He was not lying if I looked older we could pass as twins if not for my mother's silver hair that I inherited from birth.

"I guess he was checking you out."

I said and for the first time I saw my father blush.

" But his slept with so many women!"

My fathered argued but I looked at him smug.

"His never made advance at you?"

I asked and watched his face display humiliation.

"I thought it was brotherly love like bromance."

My father admitted get flustered and angry.

"Look dad I know his your right hand and you probably rethinking everything moment his seen you naked.

You wouldn't of married my mother if you were straight."

I said and he didn't meet my eyes.

"I'm bisexual but I kept it hidden because my homophobic father wouldn't of given me my birth right."

Said my father nervously but you can tell that he exhaled from relief.

It must be hard hiding who you are for so long.

"Is that why you didn't disown me after I came out?"

I asked and caught the disappointment in his eyes.

"No, my kids are all perfect even those outside the palace wall.

But to be respected as King you can't show you love your kids or they become pons in the games of your enemies."

Said my father shocking me.

"I adore my grand daughters especially Resa!

She obviously took my personality that I tried very hard to hide."

Said Father chuckling and I felt that a wall has come down from the both of us.
