Chapter 36Trust Issues***Elena pov"What's the matter?" Dracul said.He looked tired, sleepy, and groggy. I knew that I had woken him with my nightmare and now, there was no going back.Once I told him what was on my mind, there would be no way to return to sleep. I looked at him, sliding my eyes over his body.He looked tired and washed out, but he seemed stronger. Rest had done him a lot of good. Sleep had really helped him heal.Dragons really did heal as quickly as the rumors suggested."I, um..." I hesitated, feeling the pull in my chest. Once I told him, this lull was over. Once I told him, he would have to take action and the time we were spending together would dissolve into nothing.I had not had a chance to tell him yet. I had not had a chance to talk about it or consider my next move. But now that I did, the reality was really starting to kick in.But it was Dracul. He was doing everything he could for his kingdom and for me. He had protected me. He had put me first. He

Chapter 37Last Resort***Elena pov"What?" I stammered.Dracul's words felt like a punch to the gut. I had expected him to feel frustrated. I had expected anger. But I was not expecting this.I wasn't expecting this loss of trust, this coldness from him."You heard me." He said quietly.There was a heaviness in the way he spoke, a weight to his words that I had not heard before. I felt a jump in my stomach at the way he looked at me.Only hours ago, his gaze had been so warm on mine. I had been the one angry at him, feeling the fury of uncertainty.Now, he felt as betrayed as had. Maybe even worse, from the way he was looking at me.But it was more than that. There was a focus on him. He wasn't going to wait around, and I knew that. He was going to charge straight in, no two ways about it.I shuddered and shook my head, "Dracul, I know you're mad, but I didn't hide this from you. I didn't get two seconds to talk to you in private!"He shook his head and I could tell that he was done

THIRTY-EIGHTEnter King**Dracul pov.I sank back into the seating behind me, closing my eyes. I could still hear Elena's voice in my head, her worry and stress thundering through me.I didn't know what I was feeling right now.I needed to getaway. I needed to take action. I needed to do something other than just sit and let things happen.I had just been hit with a revelation. My world was spinning out of control in a way I had never felt before. I was usually in control. I had things under control.I never really trusted those around me. At least, not until recently. I was always weary and cynical. I was careful. I kept my guard up and my enemies close.I knew what everyone expected of me. I knew when a fight was brewing and something dark was just around the corner.And now, I knew that my kingdom was in danger. I knew there was unease in my kingdom, but I thought that everyone was working towards a common goal.For once, I had felt a strange sense of unity in my kingdom and in my

THIRTY-NINEFinding Help**Elena What do you mean, my help?" Gulliver said.He was staring at me like he wasn't sure what to make of me.I bit my lip, "Can we talk inside? Or on the way?""On the way?" He frowned, "Where? What's going on?""Dracul's in trouble, okay?" I said, my voice dropping to a low whisper.I couldn't just tell him everything out here. I didn't know who could overhear and I didn't know who I could trust.I didn't even know if I could trust Gulliver, but I thought that I could. If he was helping people to kill Dracul, he would never have done everything in his power to save him and keep him alive.It didn't make sense and I thought that Gulliver seemed a lot more logical than that."In trouble?" Gulliver scoffed, shaking his head, "Yes, he is. He'll have the whole kingdom against him at this rate. But what does that have to do with me?"He still seemed angry at Dracul, but I was starting to feel a twinge of hope in my chest. Maybe, just maybe, he would be agreeab

CHAPTER FORTYNo Turning Back*Elena pov"Of course, I'm prepared," I said, trying my best to act like I had this. I needed to keep this together, for Dracul. I couldn't fall apart now, not when he needed me most, not when everything was riding on this.I was a princess, I was a ruler, I knew how to keep my thoughts under my own control. I knew how to keep myself under control. That was all there was to it.So why is my heart racing in my chest? Why was it pounding so hard I thought I might be Sick?I shook it off and made my way to the horse. I gripped onto the saddle, sliding my foot into the stirrup and pushing myself up and onto the horse. I slid into place, shifting my skirts and settling into the reigns.I gripped them tightly and Cannas nodded, letting go of the reigns and climbing onto his own horse.He seemed experienced with riding. But so was I. I knew I would have no problems keeping up. In fact, at this point, I wanted nothing more than to keep going. I wanted nothing mo

Chapter forty oneFor a fortress under siege it was all to eerie and shadowy, the air had an ominous flow to it, sending chills down my spine, I really hoped Dracul was alright."Stay close to me." Gulliver whispered harshly. "We don't know what to expect."His warning caused a chill in me, but I kept going reminding myself who I was doing this for, Dracul needed me and I wouldn't fuck up. If Ryder and Delan had so much as hurt a single strand on his hair.A harsh hand clamped over my mouth and pulled me rather abruptly into a darkened room. "Shhhh." Gulliver said clamping his hands tighter around my mouth. "Be quiet or they'll catch us!"I swallow a whimper as the guards marched right past us, the staff in my hand feeling all to small for the defense purposes it was supposed to serve. Hr waited for the footsteps of the guards to fade away before letting go of me."Why did you do that?" I snap at him. "They can help us!""Have you just lazed around stuffing your brain with fruit!" H

Forty twoDraculDarkThere was no other way to describe it, Elena face had blurred in and out of existence and for a moment I felt myself taste the sweetness that was her.And then darkness, stifling crazy darkness, I lost track of how long I must have called out into it, to the nothingness, I knew I was here, just didn't know where, it seemed like forever in this little trap that seemed concocted to drive me nuts."Weakkkk!!!" A cold voice hisses through the darkness, cold and slithery like a snake with the subtle underlay of malevolent intention"Who are you?" I ask baring out my fangs, my eyes giving a faint illumination to thick suffocating darkness."Put those toys away." The voice snarled and I was instantly wracked with intense spasms of pain. "You can't even stand up to the effects of dragonsbane and you'd seek to bare your claws at me!"Another intense spasm of pain wracks me and I buckle on my knees."Insolent fool!" The voice snaps at me before falling back into a deviant

Chapter forty threeElenaIt didn't take quite long for me to figure out that Gulliver was a mage, with all the spell casting and his rather impeccable affinity for magic, it did baffle me that he was this close with Dracul seeing that it was the rise of his species that brought about the downfall of his.There was no time to pry though, things were heating up and fast, Gulliver's wards were strong around his house, obscuring and dematerializing it from intruders but everyday they inched closer, looked in a little deeper and I wondered just how long we had until we became unsafe.And then there was him, popping up out of the blue with mentions of 'The Witch', I shouldn't have been skeptical, every information was crucial in possibly preserving Dracul's life and yet I couldn't help but distrust his loyalties, these were trying times and I was determined not to fuck up again.Whatever Gulliver had done for Dracul, it worked tremendously well, he was on his feet in a week and building up
