Rose POV
'I don't know why but I'm being nervous as heck.
You know like the way you feel when you felt like you lost something you always wanted but know you get to know maybe there are chances you can have it again.
Yeah just like that.
Pacing around the room with my heart beating in my throat like today is gonna be the last day of my existence. This is how my best friend and now my bodyguard, Selena caught me in the room. Something about her always screamed otherworldly like the people from the Roosevolt kingdom except her energy was even different from them like some polar opposites.
At first glance, I bet you would never call her she, She looks even more manly than any of the men in my whole kingdom.
"-_-"
As soon I am going to be the bride of the dark lord and move in to their kingdom, she has been appointed as my bodyguard to protect me from any possible threats in the Roosevolt Kingdom.
"Are you done with your evening walk, Rose?" Um, yeah did I tell you she was my best friend since childhood. "Probably, I'm"
"I know what you're nervous about Rose, but don't worry I'll always protect you. Now be good and go to bed. I'll wake you up in the morning." 'Yeah well for her you should not even trust your shadow, since that too left you alone in dark'
Did I tell you I'm so not a morning person, no right and neither did she get why I was nervous but well, I nodded to her anyway.
Closing the door behind her, I was again left in this dark dark room-
A knocking on my window erupted me from my train of thoughts.
I got up, alarmed. Who could be their at this time of the night?! I picked up a lamp from my bedside table and slowly moved towards the window.
Unlocking the latch slowly, I waited for the knock again.
I was standing on the side of the window sill hiding behind the wall waiting for the knock again but an amused voice was heard instead, "Are you going to let me wait here whole night princess? Let me tell you this little lamp gonna do no harm to me."
I did not just imagined that voice. Ofcourse that sexy voice, perfectly husky and deep. I rushed out from my hiding space, pulled open the window, and what I saw astonished me to no end.
There was the Dark Lord in all his glory, with his hands on my window sill supporting his whole body weight with a amused glint in his eyes.
How the heck he was hanging on my window like that?
As soon as the window was opened he jumped in front of me, landing gracefully on the smooth magenta carpet in my room.
Standing all tall in front me, towering my small figure with his height, he passed me a wolfish and predatory grin.
"Is this how a brides welcome her future husband here in Liliac, princess..?"
Palace Grounds
Drew POV
There has been some recent cases of killings of vampires in Roosevolt Kingdom.
Let me tell you, killing a vampire is not easy at all, thier heart needed to be stabbed with silver and then their spine is needed to be removed-which is not easy at all- to be able to kill them.
A vampire along with his mate was first staked and then their spine was brutally teared out.
Lord Lazarus had sent two of his best men, to collect information about this whole matter. Report came from the Roosevolt that they were found dead with each of their body parts and internal organs burned. The fire that needed at that temperature could not formed by hands. The big mystery puzzle in the whole kingdom is what could have erupted such a fire.
Lord was not in his chambers when I went to deliver this news to him. So right now I'm tracking his scent.
Vampire can only be scented by their mates or by the people who has a blood promise to them. Lord Lazarus and I made a blood pact when we were kids, for me to protect his life before anyone else.
His scent took me the palace gardens, and it was the strongest at the window about 17 feet above from the ground. Finally reaching the front of the chambers I smelled Lord in, I was about to knock when a rigid grip on my hand stopped it. "No one can disturb my miss at this hour of the night." The hard and firm voice stirred something inside my stomach. I turned around and met with most beautiful pairs of eyes I've ever seen.
"Mate" the only word we whispered breathlessly. In an instant, reality came crashing down to me.
She was a werewolf and she was my mate.
