IN MY ROOM

I felt his strong arm come around me and pull me much more closer to him and my heart sank into my stomach in fear of my beloved husband.

I think trying to shift away from him was a mistake because now he never took his eyes off me, staring intently at me with those eyes.

ZORIEL~

Getting married to Amira was the best decision I had ever made. Since the first time I saw her in the woods, that was about five years ago, she had always been in my dreams.

That day, my father revealed to me about his death which was near. I was furious because I was not ready to take up the duty of a king. 

He should have told me a long time ago, how would I cope? Being a freeman today and then being a king tomorrow, it was so much to take in and I needed to clear my head. 

I needed to let out my inner demon.

I locked it up and it had been a while that it has been yearning for freedom, yearning for the sight of blood.

The complaints about dead bodies was becoming too much so I could not kill anyone from my kingdom.

I teleported to a faraway kingdom and found myself in a forest but there was no one in sight, not even an animal, this made my demon to growl in anger.

Then, I heard light footsteps.

Quickly, I became invisible so that my prey would not see or sense me. Getting ready to strike, I waited patiently for the human to arrive but surprisingly, I saw the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.

Fair skin and rosey cheeks, her blonde hair was tied up in a messy bun, her pretty brown eyes were squinted and her beautiful shape was hidden under combat uniforms, she carried with her a bow and a strap of arrows at her back, quite a brave young girl.

I was astonished and I wanted to take a closer look but it seemed she had sensed my presence as she kept looking around, nevertheless, I wanted a closer look so I went closer.

I did not mean to scare her but I did and the once brave princess began to cry, making me feel like a monster. Well, I am anyway.

Seeing those tears made me feel bad and I wanted to wipe them away. I leaned down and to my greatest surprise, she passed out.

Was I that scary? 

I noticed that it was getting late and I could not leave her there so I took her in my arms and vanished into thin air.

I found myself in a large room which was decorated with bright colors definitely to the taste of the little girl in my arms, I gently placed her on the huge bed and watched her for a while and when she was regaining consciousness, I left.

After that day, I saw her in my dream every night. I had sneaked into her room countless times without getting noticed, just to see her again and when I realize that she is begining to sense my presence, I would then leave.

Funny how she always sensed my presence, no one else could do that and that was how I found out that I had been fated to her, I have rejected so many other ladies but this one, I was willing to keep because she calmed my raging demon.

After five long years of waiting to make sure that she is matured enough, I now have her beside me and it is the best feeling ever.

We had just completed our marriage ceremony and were on a long journey back home, I sat comfortably beside my queen but she seemed to be uncomfortable.

She then started to move away from me and this got me really annoyed.

"What are you doing?" I asked and she said nothing, only staring at me with big scared eyes.

I crossed an arm over and pulled her closer, just where she ought to be.

With her face so close to mine, I wanted to lean down and claim those beautiful lips but she quickly averted her gaze. She looked frightened, her eyes were dull and sad, I did not know why she was sad and it bothered me so much.

"Do not be scared" I said, trying to make her calm but I think it didn't work, rather she even became more uncomfortable.

After a long ride, we arrived at my kingdom, Darkvalley and after a short while, we arrived at my castle. The gates were opened up and we moved in and stopped right at the entrance, it was night already.

I got down and extended my hand to my queen to assist her in getting down from the carriage but she ignored my hand and jumped down, moving some meters away from me.

I just over looked it and led her in, my servants and butlers had already aligned themselves on a straight line, all bowing as I walked in with our queen, my Queen, Queen Amira. 

I was no doubt so proud to have her.

We stopped right before the stairs and the head butler, Butler Klahadore came forward and bowed deeply.

"On behalf of the servants, I welcome you, our Queen, your majesty" he said.

Looking at Amira, she seemed quite shocked and did not know what to say, her eyes darted towards me for a split second then back to Klahadore.

"Th- thank you" she stuttered.

We then went up the stairs and I brought her to my room, I knew she was tired and needed to unwind.

AMIRA~

"Make yourself comfortable" He said to me before leaving. Only then did I breathe out in relief.

I glanced around my room and almost everything was painted in black, quite a taste for a creepy man... And a creepy household because almost everything inside this castle was black. Even the servants uniforms were all black.

At the moment, I just needed to take a shower and go to sleep. My bag and trunk had arrived and were arranged in the closet.

I quickly undressed from the heavy gown and walked into the bath, it was a really huge one. After a few minutes, I was done and I came out of the bathroom only to find my creepy husband inside my room!

I shrieked and quickly ran back inside the bathroom because I came out totally naked, I wasn't expecting anyone to be inside my room.

I quickly put on my night clothes on my wet body and came out with furious eyes.

"Hey!" My voice was tiny but I managed to make it sound angry.

"What are you doing in my room?" I questioned him with fiery eyes, no one else had seen my bare body but unfortunately he just broke the record and though I was still scared of him, but I wasn't happy with what just happened.

I expected an answer from him but he remained silent, only staring at me with those sunny eyes that I dreaded. His demeanor was cool and calculative.

His stares were so intense that it sent chills down my spine. With slow steps, he approached me like I was a prey and I unknowingly stepped back till I reached the wall.

He was now standing at a close proximity to me, staring deep with his eyes which magically twinkled like there were millions of tiny stars in them. I couldn't hold up his gaze so I looked away, all drenched in fear as I recalled the incident in the woods, five years ago.

His divine scent again filled my nostrils as my heart picked up pace. Then, I noticed his eyes slowly left my face and moved down, settling on my chest, I then remembered that my clothe had stuck to my wet body and my nipples would definitely be obvious but I was too scared to even move.

ZORIEL~

I had never seen anyone who was brave and scared at the same time, somehow she managed to pull it off which amazed me.

she has always been scared since she was little but I knew there was some qualities of bravery in her, maybe she was just scared of me.

The thought of that made me feel sad, why was she scared of me?.

My eyes traveled down and settled on those beautiful round breasts which were quite obvious, I had the urge to feel them in my hands and could not look away until her little hands moved up and covered them.

"Y-you're in my room" she murmured with her little scared voice.

"No honey, you're in my room"

Amira slowly shot me her beautiful brown eyes in surprise and realization before quickly dashing out of the room to my greatest surprise but before she could run away, I held unto her and pulled her back towards me, securing her with my arm around her waist.

"Where do you think you're going?"
