“Has he returned?” The withered old man murmured.

Kazan shook his head and sighed, “no, not yet your eminence, I fear the worst.”

Renly always made a habit of returning to the hideout every three days to give a report of whatever intel he had gathered, but today was the fourth day and there was still no sign of him.

“perhaps he traveled far this time around,” the man spoke, “he is only a day late after all.”

“Renly usually informs before he leaves if he suspects the journeys will take longer than three days,” Kazan explained, “this is unlike him, something must be wrong.”

The old man looked up at the ceiling and hummed in thought, “give him twenty four hours. If he still has not returned by this time tomorrow, we will assume he has been taken by the enemy and plan accordingly”

“Understood your eminence.”

“How is the boy, Damien was it? How is he doing?” the old man asked, “if indeed Aiden has made contact with the elves, we may not have a lot of time to waste. And now that there is a possibility of Renly’s disappearance or capture, soon our entire plan may be compromised.” The elderly man turned to Kazan, “we need the boy’s power, now Kazan.”

.....

When Kazan left his master’s chambers he was feeling ever more frustrated, things were not going like they had planned at all. Renly was missing, the hybrid child Damien was proving to be a disappointment, and Aiden was getting close to foiling their plans. This is why Kazan disliked the other races, they were dangerous and a plague, a cancer that had to be wiped out from the face of the earth. But to do that, Damien had to mature into a potent weapon.

The man halted in front of Estel’s door and balled up his fists, he had the right mind to barge in and put the elven princess and son in line, but his master had insisted that she be kept safe and free from harm for the child’s sake. But it had been years for fucks sake, Damien should have been a lot older by now but there he was still bundled up like an infant. Whatever sickness or defect this child had, they needed to get to the bottom of it immediately.

Renly slowly opened his eyes and awoke from the unconscious like state of sleep he had fallen into. His vision was a bit blurred but he could make out what looked like a fire and two figures sitting around it. One looked like a woman, and the other, whose hair she was caressing was a man. Wait? Was that the man who had attacked him earlier?

The man with raven black hair groaned and tried to push himself off the ground so he could try to flee, but he was incredibly weak and was tied up to a tree which prevented him from moving.

“looks like he’s finally awake,” the woman spoke and stoop up from her seat.

Renly froze in place as he watched the woman walk slowly towards him and crouch down next to him. She pat his cheek roughly with her hand and gazed at him.

“Can you hear me little bird?” The woman spoke, “welcome back to the world of the living. You were so overwhelmed with fear that we thought you died of shock.”

Theodora roughly grabbed Renly’s hair and pulled it back, making his head face upwards. She placed a water canteen on his lips and began pouring water into his mouth forcibly. After taking a few gulps, the woman pulled the canteen away and gave him a taunting smile. “We can’t let you die little bird,” she mumbled, “well at least not yet, you’ve proven to be very useful to us.”

“I will not betray my master,” Renly responded stubbornly, but afterwards his voice softened significantly, “but I also swear not to do anything to hurt Melissa, please just let me go and I promise I will leave the sect for good. I will renounce my positing and go somewhere far away where no one can ever find me.”

“Oh but we can’t have you leave just yet,” this time it was the man that spoke. There was something about his voice that made Renly gulp instinctively, the man seemed very fierce and intimidating.

When Aiden turned to face the bonded man, Renly’s eyes widened in both fear and shock. It was Aiden who had captured him. Gods no, who knows what kind of torture and cruel treatment the nosferatu prince had in store for poor Renly. It was obvious he wanted information on Estel’s whereabouts, this was really bad.

Aiden got up and made his way to where Theodora was crouching and stood over the tied up man, “you have information that I need, and I will get it from you even if it’s the last thing I do.” The nosferatu prince glared at the man who now had a hint of fear in his eyes, “now tell me, where is my Estel?”

When Julia woke up the next morning she was still incredibly flustered. What had happened the previous night was like something out of a dream. Wait! What if was just that, a dream? She brought her finger to her lip and slightly winced when she touched the cut that she had sustained during the kiss. Clovis had accidentally sprung his fangs in the heat of the moment and cut her lip, he of course had been very embarrassed about it and apologized profusely, but Julia really didn’t mind, in fact, she had to hold back the urge to tell him that she actually liked it.

The green eyed woman slid off her bed and practically floated to her bathroom to freshen up, after the other night she felt like she didn’t have a worry in the world. Finally she had someone who cared about her for a change, someone who took the lead in starting something with her. It was an amazing feeling.

A few meters away from Julia’s chambers, the silver haired prince Clovis was pacing the halls nervously. Where he had gotten the courage to kiss Julia the other night was beyond him, he loved every second of it sure, but now he was nervous about seeing her again. Would she allow him to kiss her again? Were they now a couple? But she didn’t tell him that she loved him back when he had confessed, what if she didn’t even love him and was just lost in the moment?

So many thoughts and possibilities were running through his mind. What if he marched to her right now and asked her to be his, would she refuse? At this point though, that was probably the best course of action he could take, he didn’t want any uncertainty between them, he loved Julia and he wanted her to be his and only his. She needed to know that, even if there was a chance she might reject him.

The prince walked slowly down the hallway and stopped right at Julia’s door, this was it, he was just going to go right at it and ask her to be his, it was as simple as that, wasn’t it? Clovis knocked on the door and cursed slightly when he noticed that his hands were were shaking, gosh why did he always get so nervous when it came to Julia?!

He knocked a second time and still didn’t get an answer, was she still asleep? Or maybe she had already left her room.

“Julia.. hello Julia good morning, are you in there?” the man put his ear on the door and listened, but all her heard was silence. He slowly turned the knob and peeped into her room, “Julia?”

Clovis walked in and closed the door behind him before inspecting the room, it was empty. Thinking that maybe she had already left, the prince turned to exit the room when he heard footsteps behind him. When he tuned around his throat incredibly dry.

Julia who had just walked out from her bath completely naked, froze in place unable to decide weather to cover herself up, or to run. She had thought that Clovis had been the maid who had come in with some food or a fresh change of clothes for her, but instead, she was standing there face to face with the prince.

The woman gasped when Clovis started walking towards her, “what are you doing?” She started moving away from the man but was stopped by the wall behind her. “Clovis...” Julia shut her eyes as the prince stopped a few inches away from her.

Clovis didn’t know why he had suddenly walked towards Julia , but the minute his eyes caught a glimpse of her intricate figure it’s like his body developed a mind of its own.

“Julia..”

Julia kept her eyes shut, she had never heard this tone of Clovis’ voice before, it was doing things to her that she wasn’t sure she was ready for.

“Look at me..”

Julia almost yelped when his hand gently touched her chin and turned her face towards his.

“Look at me Julia..”

She slowly opened her eyes and immediately pursed her lips when she found Clovis’ face mere inches away from hers.

“I want you to be mine.”
