Of Glory and Of Doom TWENTY SEVEN - Love
By the gods, this man was nothing short of a miracle of a face and a hot bud for a body. She looked at him longingly and willing that he would pin her against a wall and ravage her with his eyes only, like she was currently doing.She couldn't believe her eyes, after all the despair for her to be married and now looking into her lover's eyes, she wanted to shake everyone, to hug everyone... Everyone and anyone that had ever gone in favor of her getting married. It was right, it felt right with him, in this moment and right now.They took a break from their dinner, seeing as her father still threw a party for his arrival despite everything that had transpired before he came, her eyes wet at the realization that her father, the wolf king loved her as deeply as he loved himself, some might even add 'more than he loved himself' The moon peaked out of the starless sky, out in pearls that cast their glow on the withered gardens and the little pond as they walked by it in silence. Laura cou
Of Glory and Of Doom TWENTY EIGHT - Nuisance
He said cute! Laura was in over her head at the way he dropped his eyes, she thought perhaps it was just a thing that she imagined but really, she could believe that if only, he hadn't taken his height to hers and in her face gave the sexiest vibe and said in a really deep voice that came from his throat or better still behind the Adam's apple and whispered in her ear 'cute' . Her heart did a marathon in a beat and he must have noticed because he hadn't regained his height, his eyes were still eye level with hers and she could practically feel his breath on her and the ripples of tiny tingles it created, sent her on an extra drive. She didn't understand what this was but although she knew for certain he was in love with her, she needed to be sure first. Hence when he stood upright and cast a gaze from above her with his nose, she found that demeaning but in a sexual way that just felt right."Cute huh? But you're just seeing me for the first time, how'd you know I was cute?' She had a
Of Glory and Of Doom TWENTY NINE - Red Cheeks
Laura woke up late in the morning, her eyes hurting. She had cried herself to sleep last night, thinking about her Father. Sure, she enjoyed herself in Prince Nicholas's presence, even as she thought that she'd hate it. But that little distraction wasn't enough to take her mind off what her Father was going through. She stood up and made her bed, placing her things in order. She sometimes did this when she wanted to calm her thoughts and she decided that this was not going to take her mind off of it. Grunting with annoyance, she marched to her door and threw up open, startling the guard who stood outside."I'm so sorry, but can you get my maid, Suzy. She should be down in the kitchens." She noticed that the guard's gaze was locked on her face and she didn't need a mirror to see that her face was splotchy and red and that her eyes were swollen. She grew frustrated at all that was happening and snapped at the guard. "Yes, I'd been crying. Can you get Suzy? Now."The guard, who was a
Of Glory and Of Doom THIRTY - Fight!
Lily took her stand and slowly started to surround this creature, moving in a clockwise position, he followed her trail... It wasn't like the way it was the last time that she had fought with someone in an open field or in a ring, she painfully remembered how it had gone. She won of course but she didn't know then that she would be fighting a soon to be traitor. She looked at this creature, her head filled with all manners of conclusion as of where did he emerge from. He had the palest skin she had ever seen, skin so pale, it would make her skin crawl. He had the sharpest jawline she had ever seen, an inverted dimple on the chin and tiny ones on his cheeks that seemed to showcase themselves every time he frowned and sucked his cheeks as he was doing right now."Who are you!" She shouted at him with her kaayan accent thick on her tongue. He looked at her with the eyes that she had only seen in dead fishes, his was worse and yet there was something so fierce it made her almost want to
Of Glory and Of Doom THIRTY ONE - A taste of Prison
Laura sat at the edge of her well made bed, dressed in a black silk gown and sighed greatly. She was really tired, fatigued one might call it.Her eyes burned from all the tears she'd been shedding for days, her back burned from the forced dignity she had to portray herself with as all the matters of the kingdom were passed on to her shoulders. Even her face ached from all the smiles she'd been giving people.Slowly, she climbed her bed and lay on it, her face down as she smelled the clean sheets. Few days ago—who was she kidding?— seven days ago, to be exact, she'd been dreaming of getting married.Getting married to a man who'd snuck out of his bed, out of the palace and out of her life maybe,leaving a note as the only token and disappeared into the night like the night creature he was. At first, she'd found the note endearing, thoughtful and had even smiled while reading it but now, seven days later and the note was tucked away from sight because it infuriated her anytime it wa
Of Glory and Of Doom THIRTY TWO - Jeopardy
"What is that thing?"Lily glanced at Ralph once and hurried away, needing to wash up. She made sure that one of her men locked the vampire up securely. She didn't want him to escape for any reason. She wasn't in the right frame of mind to listen to one of Ralph's lectures and she hurried her steps to her cave, growling when Ralph grabbed her arm before she could get in. "I'm sorry." He retracted his arm and Lily forced herself not to rub at the sore spot his hand had left on her arm. "I know that that is a Vampire.""Smart you." She turned to go but he grabbed her by the shoulders, gently this time. She huffed and turned back to him, making sure that her annoyance was visible on her face. "You have to get that vile thing out of the village. The high priestess won't be happy with this new development." He drew himself closer to her, like he wanted to be sure that she'd understand him or be intimidated by his blistering gaze. "They kill, Commander. They drain the body of blood. Blo
Of Glory and Of Doom THIRTY THREE - To have or to give up
Lily was going weary. She watched as Baba Kazoh and Hakym went toe to toe, arguing about what should be done to the vampire. She was so tired and she'd do anything for a good night's rest. She watched Ralph walk up to the elders, whispering something to them. They all turned to look at her and nodded to whatever Ralph had said, going back to their seats. "It's late. We'd continue this discussion tomorrow. But it doesn't change the fact that he would have to die." Baba Kazoh said and sat down, turning to an elder beside him to say something. Lily sighed and smiled at Ralph, thanking him for stopping the drawn out meeting. She had been here for up to two hours and they have been arguing about the same thing since. How to do away with the vampire. "He was always going to, Baba." She rubbed at her temples, wincing when she could feel how heavy and sore she was. "But I'd get the information needed from him before he does. And that doesn't change."She stood and inclined her head at the
Of Glory and Of Doom THIRTY FOUR - Acting Lessons
The stares and scowls on the look of everyone prince Nicholas passed by was worrisome. Were they still thinking he was a prisoner? Their commander had release him so why were they all staring daggers at him. It was in the dead of the night, having only few Kayaans around and they all looked like they wanted to beat him up. He walked into the palace expecting to see the commander but she wasn't in her throne room. He turned to one of the guards. "Where's the commander?"The guard had a scowls plastered to his face like he had seen his worst enemy. He ignored the princi walking out so prince Nicholas reach out to the guard standing by the entrance of the palace. "Where's the commander?" This guards gave a frown, eyeing him like he was a piece of thrash. Reluctantly, he answered, "she's training." He wanted to ask for where she was training but decided against that as the frown etched on the guard's face deepened. The prince started to make his way around the palace trying to figure o
