Third person's Pov
It was dim as if it would be night time soon, the elders of Menali sat around their round meeting table and looked serious as if they were about to plan for a war. "He calls himself the king, shouldn't he be here by now? We elders are taking it too easy on him, he doesn't even deserve to be on that seat, because his father was a great king does not mean he'll be one " elder Dolores said while tapping his fingers on the table repeatedly. " Know what you talk about Dolores, keep going on about who should be king or not ,and you're going to bring abomination upon us!" Elder Lois said while flaring up. She doesn't like anything elder Dolores does and even the elder himself . " We are the top elders of Menali, you people should know better than to start bickering every time there is a meeting!!We are here to talk about the safety of this town !King Alverez should be here ! But he never came to any of our meetings and he calls himself a king?!I agree with Dolores on this one." Elder Edna said . " Of Course, why wouldn't you agree with whatever Dolores said, he has planted his evil seed in you also hasn't he??" Elder Lois said while glaring at both of them . " Don't talk about me like that Lois, you’re nothing, you’re not even a full blooded vampire, you’re just a lowlife witch who got a free pass from the former king! You don't even belong here!!".elder Dolores said while standing up at elder Lois. "How dare you?!!!" Lois said as she flared up instantly ! " If the king was here all this wouldn't have happened! But no, you keep on getting at each other ! We are not here to joke! This is a serious issue, the full blood moon is coming faster than we expected!!" Elder flux said when he had gotten enough of their playdate, They have been getting it on and on and he kept quiet just watching them do whatever they want. "I'm leaving, you can call me when you have better things to say, and I pray you never do,'' Elder Flux added again while standing from his seat. " If only you listen to me!, but you won't, but I'll not keep repeating myself "! Dolores said after a quiet while and Lois gave him a death glare. " You can't even say that to his face, can you?" Elder Lois stands and starts walking towards elder Dolores." You know he will rip your head off your neck in a second, don't you??" She added mockingly. Elder Dolores stepped back from her as fear flashed all through his eyes, making it obvious he was scared by the threat elder Lois laid down. " You will pay for this Lois, just wait and see" Dolores said and went for the door, while Elder Edna followed, then Elder flux Shortly after. Elder Lois ,sat back at her chair and bowed her head to think, she was tired of everything happening in the kingdom. The Elders of Menali were never on the same page, some elders were there because of the fame and money and respect, those types of people cared less about the town and the people in it. Deshan being a sudden king disrupted the town in a lot of ways, people go on about rumors, and rumors, and lots of rumors, they are never ending. Some say, Deshan was not the son of the former king, and he is just a clone built for the throne. While some says; he is human pretending to be a vampire because no one has ever seen him take human blood.. And some say; he was planted on the throne by the evil king orthodox. They went on and on, rumors never ending about him ... meanwhile little did they know, Deshan himself loathed being a king he does not want to be. The Elders always comes for meetings just once a month, but it was always fruitless, all they do is bicker and fight ,and with that being said, elder Dolores was known for his evil ways all around the town,he is know for criminal activities and sleep with whores and girls old enough to be his granddaughter around the town. The town was a mess. The humans in this town know little about it .Ever since Deshan became king, he had stated that even though the City was breeded with Vampire, the humans must never know, and that they must live with them in peace and harmony, ever since the day Deshan became king and stated this rule, the Rate of people dying decreased. He made sure, this town is a human safety zone, he does not want them to sleep with one eye open, and he does not want them to sleep with frightened and heavy hearts like he did when he was a kid. He does not want their families to be brutally killed like they did to him . He made sure the humans know nothing and live with them like they were human also. * The Lighthouse* Deshan waited anxiously while waiting for Ava's call. He has been anxious and has been on his toes all day. Brandon entered with a serious look on his face which indicates the conversation he wanted to have was a serious one, but Deshan wasn't even a bit concerned . " Your majesty" he said and bowed down a little, while Deshan stayed like he was, he acted like no one was there in the room with him. " Your majesty," Brandon said again, getting impatient with him. " Your ma......" Brandon could not complete his sentence when he met Dehsn red eyes, he knew those eyes well enough, he knew that face Well enough to take several steps back from him. That was not Deshan, it was the beast inside of him. Deshan looked at Brandon with his eyes fixed on him like he was his next prey,but he knew what he was doing,he wanted to scare Brandon a little for disobeying him. Brandon knew he could call him anything else other than that title. " D..Deshan..?" Brandon called his name out but he didn't answer. He took all the courage in his mind, body and soul to get closer to him. For one reason he knew Deshan wouldn't hurt him. " Do you want to die or do you feel like dying?" Deshan finally said and twisted his head sideways as if he wanted to get a better view of Brandon. " I.. I just have important and official information for you" Brandon answered while stuttering. " You've not answered my question brad" he said again coldly this time around. " I, I’m sorry, it won't happen again, '' Brad said while swallowing his spit. Deshan chuckled and closed his eyes and opened them again, but now it was back to his normal eye color. Which gave Brandon the idea that he was probably not mad any more. " You looked like you were going to kill me," he said while looking at him softly. " And you seem easy to be scared," Deshan replied looking amused. " I am not easy to be scared , everyone is scared of you,in case you don't know that". Brandon said and took his seat towards him. " The Elders came to the castle, and things got ugly today " Brandon added . " Isn't that what has been happening all these years?" Deshan replied unbothered. " If you were there as the king of this kingdom, things won't be like that" he answered. " Don't annoy me Brad, I'm not in a really good mood," Deshan stated . " Another meeting has been fixed again .it take place on the next full moon" . " You fixed a meeting with the elders?!, On a full moon night?" . " Uhh...yeah? I know how bad your temper is on a normal day and I know how worse it is in a full moon day, I don't want them to think you're some cheap skunk because you don't drink human blood anymore" " Oh?! ,And will you take the responsibility if I ended up killing one of them?" Deshan asked, looking bewildered trying to know what Brandon was up to. " You won't kill them," Brandon replied proudly. " And how the hell are you so sure of that?" Deshan asked him again. Brandon went silent before he could answer, he was thinking if what he was about to say will be the end of him or not, he knew that was the last thing he should do .but he had to do it because he does not want Deshan to hurt any of them on the next meeting so he blurted out whatever was in his mind. " Because AVA will be there, so you have to tell her you're a vampire as soon as possible, she looked like she was the only one who could tame you" he spoke out. " Do you want to die??" Huh?" That was your plan?! " She has not even accepted me, do you think she would when she finds out I am a monster, who could kill her in the middle of the night?! Huh! Answer me!" Deshan yelled while he got up from his seat and was pining Brandon by the neck within seconds. He was faster than any of them . Brandon choked in his arms but didn't fight back. Deshan watched him angrily and released him before his breathing ceased. " I thought you had a better plan brad, but you've fucked up, I will never let those things who called themselves elders set their pitiful eyes on my woman!, they can all fuck off for all I care because I am not attending the next meeting" Deshan stated coldly before walking past brad, where he was gathering his breath . " I know what you're afraid of" brad said while getting up " What the fuck are you talking about" " You're afraid you won't be able to protect her right?" " You don't know anything" " But I know she is a sweet blood Deshan" Brandon said and Deshan's eyes widening like a little kid who was caught stealing. "If you know she is a sweet blood then you must know why the evil of the kingdom must not set eyes on her right"? Deshan asked calmly. " If you really want to protect her, you should tell her what you are, and take her to elder Lois so she could hide the scent from her and take her to the next elder meeting." Brandon said and moved closer to Deshan. " I know you don't trust anyone, but you should at least trust me, I am the only one that knows in the whole kingdom about it ,and if you want to keep it a secret I am willing to do that till I die " Brandon added. " Are you hurt?," Deshan asked him, he never knew how to apologize. " I'm sorry for almost killing you would have been better than that, you know," Brandon said and laughed. " I guess you're okay then “Deshan answered and smiled. Brandon wanted to say something when he was cut off when a call came on Deshan's phone. Deshan picked up the phone and saw the true caller read AVA GRAY, he smiled wholeheartedly which made Brandon question if he was the same man from a few seconds ago. Ava; hey, hi Deshan 📞; Hey beautiful, been expecting your call all-day long Ava; ; uhm, I just settled things with Noah and Elena, turns out the psycho hitted her with the flower vase when he found out that she has called the police, that was what got her to the hospital.Deshan ; oh, okay, I guess she is okay now. Ava;; yeah she is ..uhm so I called to ask if you'd like to have dinner with me on Saturday night it's weekdays now so I'll be alot busy so....Deshan ; of course cupcake, anything for you.Ava; Right, bye. Deshan got off the phone with Ava with a disturbance look on his face. "Brad, can you please find that man, the stalker that got issues with Ava's Bestfriend,if he is at the jail, look for means to get him out, I'd like to deal with him myself" Deshan said with an evil smirk plastered all over his face . Brandon smiled at him and got up immediately, he was going to enjoy hunting down the stalker .Third person's POV It was a cloudless and sunny Saturday morning, Ava tossed on her bed with a smile on face. She was happy she did not have to go to work today and get pestered by manager Li. She got off her bed when she realized she was too hungry to be in bed. She had gone to bed without eating anything last night because she was too exhausted and was also sleepy. She got into her bright blue polka dot onesie and dragged herself downstairs. She went to the kitchen and stood for a minute thinking of what to eat exactly, but she later decided she was still too tired to cook something. She opened her fridge and took out a box of Oreos and placed it on the countertop. She took a glass and poured herself some milk. She took both food and walked back to her living room and sat down on her favorite sofa with her legs sprawled out. While she took the first bite of her Oreo, her thoughts drifted back to Noah. He hasn't been coming home lately and she w
Ava's POV Elena texted me about 20 minutes ago that she would be here, but she has not gotten here yet, I still don't know what to say about all these, they all seem too expensive for me to even touch or put on. I heard a car stop outside and several horn sound followed after. I smiled to my self knowing who that was, I went towards the door eagerly and opened. " yo!! girl what the fuck was that?!" She screamed as soon as she came down from her car and saw me in the door way, I had to shush her quickly so she won't end up disturbing the neighbors. I dragged her inside before I replied. " I don't know what it is and I am just as surprised as you" I said and I sat down next to her as she went through the gifts looking bewildered. " oh my god, he is such a gentle man.. Damn and he has good taste" Elena said as she lifted up the black pantie that was in the lingerie box and i literally facepalmed my self. " stop that!, do you know how much these costs?"
Deshan's POV She sat opposite of me and sighed a little, she looks uncomfortable, but I don't want her to be uncomfortable with me…so I decided to try my luck to make her feel better. " you look Beautiful and amazing tonight Aveline, I guess I picked the right choice of clothes" I commended truthfully and praised my self a little. She looked at me and smiled which made her relax. " Are you praising me or your self" she said and bit her lips. " what does it look like, I own all of you so if I am praising you that means I am praising my self. " cocky much Uhh" she replied while looking down at the blue colored drink before her, I don't even know the name I just told them to give me the best of the best. " only for you…So how do you…" I was cut off by the sound of her stomach, grumbling. I smirked and look up at her with her face covered in red with embarrassment. " you didn't eat?" I asked and she nodded her head, I guess she was too embarrassed by tha
AVA's Pov: Tears stripped down my eyes as I walked barefoot down the busy street, it seems the restaurant is a popular one. People might be looking at me like I am crazy. A girl wearing a thousand-dollar dress but can't afford a shoe.I continued walking toward where I could easily get a taxi, and to get out of this embarrassment, I walked two more steps when I bumped into a hard chest. " I'm so sorry, I got carried away, and I was not looking where I was going," I said to the strangely handsome stranger, but he just stared down at me with a smile, something just doesn't wait right with him. He looked at me from head to toe, he did not seem to be surprised that I was not wearing heels. " Hi, uhh do you need a ride?" He asked while smiling as best as he could, but I just wasn't in the mood to return the smile. " No thanks," I said as fast as I could and took two steps before he blocked me again. "No offense beautiful, but if a guy leaves a pretty lady like you to
Brandon's PovI looked at Deshan looking so angry as ever, he is probably angry at himself. He looked like he had made a very terrible mistake and now he is regretting it. . I called one of the male servants and asked him to get me a feeder, he bowed and hurried off." I don't need the feeder," I heard him say." you do, you don't look really good" I answered, " care to tell me what happened?"" Ava, I said some very bad things to her," he said and grunted.Oh, so this is about Ava', I thought. She seems to be the only one on his mind these days, and he is beginning to lose himself if he continues like this he is going to be blind by terror and cause so much trouble.I have seen it happen, I don't want to experience it again, None of the vampires and non-humans living in the lighthouse would want to know." She rejected you?" I asked and he nodded no." She told me she was beginning to like me, and I panicked immediately after I heard that".He panicked. That's unlike him, he does thi
Ava's POV. It was a very hot afternoon when I heard a knock ok my door, It was surprising because it was only once, and who knocks these days the doorbell is there for people to use. I got up and placed the book I was reading on the table. " who's there??" I asked, and the only reply I got was a single knock. ' no one would murder by afternoon right?' I asked myself as I mustered the courage to open the door. I opened it and I saw deshan standing there looking like a Greek God with a little smirk playing on his lips, he wore a two-piece and a black turtle neck, with an overall jacket that passed his knee, why is he always wearing a black outfit? And didn't he own some casual outfit? I am still very mad at him but, right now he looks too handsome to be mad at. " What are you doing here?" I asked with a straight face not wanting him to get a peek at how much his standing ovation affects me. " Invite me in," he said and I look at him like he has gon
Deshan's POV. **three days later** It was a cool and beautiful morning in menali, the cloud right above the kingdom looks especially beautiful, or maybe I thought so. " Why do you keep on staring at the sky? Is Ava faced placed there?" Brandon joked as he came into my office. " where have you been for the last three days?" I asked him as I turned my face towards him, making him see how serious I am. "I was at home, I was resetting my brain, I thought I told you, didn't I?" " you have no brain Brandon, so wtf are you resetting?" " wow that's harsh, I just needed to rest okay? stop getting angry" he said while finding a place for himself to seat " you were gone for three days Brad, They brought some files from the southern kingdom, some documents I don't know shit about! I had no time for myself, I had no time for my woman, and you're telling me to stop getting angry?!" "Oh, is it that time of the year aready? I can't believe five years, have gone by like that." He replied.
Ava’s s Pov After a very long day at work, I finally left for home, I was hungry, tired, and very much exhausted. I got home and lazily go upstairs, took off my clothes wore some extra comfy clothes, then headed back downstairs. 'Ugh, I miss him already' i thought and sloppily dragged myself along the stairs, I opened the kitchen fridge take out ice cream, and put it in my mouth, I turned only to find Noah staring at me with wide eyes. " ahh, you startled me," I yelled and crossed my hand over my chest. And he just smiled at himself proud that he has successfully scared me. " where have you been?" I asked him " you don't come home always anymore" " just been at Cass's place, you don't have anything to worry about" he answered and walked past me to grab a stick of ice cream for himself. "Is cass doing okay?" " yes, she is, I'll send your regards to her" " alright, thanks" He sat with his legs crossed out and I sat next to
