KING LEROY
KING LEROY"I wiped the warm blood that trickled on the side of my mouth. This girl is my fifth victim tonight, but I wanted more. My need and thirst for blood are growing daily, and I don't know how long I can endure this.There's a voice inside my head forcing me to do all this evil thing. To kill. The voice clouded my mind of how sweet, fascinating, and appetizing human blood is. How does it feel when the human trembles in my hold as I suck them dry with their blood. How the warm blood tastes on the tip of my tongue, and how pleasurable it feels as the warm blood runs in every vein of my body.The voice is like a force that has the power of my body, and it can command me anytime it wants. I knew that voice. It was darkness inside me that was slowly consuming me.The darkness inside us slowly consumes a royal vampire like me the longer we live without our mate beside us. And like me, I've been living for many centuries, and my time is approaching. Our mate is the anchor that can hold the darkness inside us to stay hidden, and our mate is also one who can unleash that darkness.I've been searching for her all over the world for centuries, but until now, I haven't found her, and I can't do anything to stop the darkness inside me but let it consume me or end my life before it happens.I started to move again, looking for my next prey. It was easy because I could easily lure human girls towards me because of my appearance.They say I am good-looking, very handsome. I don't know if it is true because I'm used to my face. Seeing your face for centuries, I'm sure you'll also get tired of it. And they said that's why human and even vampire girls always throw themselves at me. I can compel them to follow me if I want to, but I don't usually do it. I typically use it on my people who sinned and put the blame on others to make them tell the truth.I am six feet and two inches tall, with pale smooth skin, typical for a vampire like me, and ocean-blue eyes, but it becomes bloody red when I become furious. I am the only vampire alive that has ocean blue eyes, and that's the other reason humans don't know that I am a vampire because normal vampires usually have light red or light gold eyes. Still, they become darker if they can't feed, and after two weeks without feeding, blood it turned completely black.I have thick curly lashes and thick dark eyebrows, a small and pointed nose, and thin and plump lips. My body is slightly lean but muscular, and my hair is slightly curly and brown, which falls over my eyes.I am in a small town near my castle. A place humans called a club. Humans of different ages are everywhere, enjoying their life without knowing the devil that I am is just lurking around. I'm in the dark alley near the club, waiting and searching for my next victim."Hi! Are you alone? Want some company?" A girl, I think seventeen or eighteen, stood in front of me with a smile on her lips and seductively bit her lower lips. I've been living for a long time, but that flirting act of a girl never failed to disgust me."Yes!" I replied shortly and moved deeper into the alley away from the club. I know she will follow, and a few seconds later, she runs after me and clings to my arms. Also, I'm not too fond of this act of the girl being clingy."Where are we going, sexy?" Another thing I hate is their acting cute and making their voice sound like a kid. I ignored her, and when I was sure we were far enough. I halted and quickly held her shoulders and pinned her to the wall. She bites her lips, looking up at me seductively, and her arm promptly wrapped around my neck.I buried my face in the crook of her neck, and she shuddered. She smells of alcohol, but her blood smells intoxicating. I licked her neck, and she let out a moan. I quickly covered her mouth with my palm and bit hard on her. My hand muffled her scream, and she trashed when I started to suck her blood. I groaned when the warm, sweet blood touched my tongue. She struggled in my tight grip, but eventually, she became limp in my hold when I drained all her blood and I pushed her lifeless body to the ground. I let out a growl of contentment, licking the side of my lips."Sire, you need to go back to the castle now. The council guards are lurking around. They wanted to catch you in the act of killing humans so that they could use it to remove you from your throne."Raul is one of my trusted guards—the one I chose to replace me on the throne when I die. Yes, I plan to end my life before the darkness completely consumes me. I don't want to destroy my race as well as the human.The throne will be in good hands if he's the one to replace me because, unlike me, he is gentle and kind to everyone. He hears both sides before he makes a decision"Where are they?""A few miles away from here, Sire." He answered with eyes cast on the ground. No one is allowed to look at my eyes because it shows disrespect."Let's go," I said, and with vampire speed, I ran toward the castle, but as soon as I halted in front of the door, a silver arrow flew toward me, aiming straight at my heart. But it didn't hit me because Raul caught it. Silver can kill an average vampire when it drives straight to the heart, the same with a stick, but for me, it couldn't kill me, but it can paralyze me for a few minutes, enough time for my enemy to kill me by removing my head or setting my body on fire.Louis, Luther, and Lucas quickly ran after whoever fired the arrow while I stood there with Raul beside me, waiting.Ten minutes later, they returned with two other vampires, both arms tied behind them."You're going to die. Sooner or later, you will die. Not in our hands, but more are coming for your life, vampire, King. You're not a capable king. You're not suitable to be called King. You're a piece of trash. Without your royal blood, you're nothing." A blonde hair mocks me."Without your royal blood, you'll become a rogue because no coven will want you. And no coven lives besides your castle because..."You know why??" I cut him off. My face is emotionless, but I know my eyes are now bloody red. "Because all of them fear me. You wondered why because I could do this. My hand reached forward and snatched the man's heart like his flesh and ribs that covered his heart, just like a thin sheet of paper.I hold the heart and squeeze it, and it splatters everywhere. Louis quickly pulled his head off, and her body turned into ashes. Vampires who were more than a hundred years old turned ashes as soon as they died, but those who were hundred years and below they don't, except when they were under the sun. But royal blood and pure blood vampire can move under the sun, but sunlight makes us weak, but we quickly recover our strength when night comes. The other vampire staggered backward-looking at me in horror. What coven are you from? Ah, never mind. I will find it myself and wipe them all.""No! You can't do that." He panicked, looking at me."How can you try to kill me when you're just an ordinary vampire? I am a king, and I can do anything I want. And I will enjoy doing it. It is a warning to all the covens worldwide never to send someone from their coven to try to kill me because I will only wipe out their coven if they fail. Rest in peace because your family and friends will be with you soon.""No, please, Sire, for... but I cut him by snatching his heart as well."I don't forgive those who sinned me." I threw his heart on the ground and stepped on it before entering the castle."Sire, are you really going to wipe out their coven?" Raul followed behind me with the other."Yes!""But Sire, not everyone in the coven was..."Raul!" I halted on my track without looking at them."Yes, we will accompany you, Sire." He said, kneeling behind me."Very well then. Find out what coven they belong to as soon as possible. I want them to know what the punishment for a traitor is."Yes! Sire." He quickly answered. I went to my chamber to rest. The sun is slowly rising at the horizon, and it is time for me to sleep. I have a coven to destroy tonight, and I'm sure I'll enjoy it. ***A knock came on the door, and Raul stepped inside, carrying a tray with a silver goblet on it. It was already dark outside, and it was time to destroy a coven."Sire! He greeted me, and I just nodded and took the goblet, and drank the blood."What coven?""Sanguine coven, Sire.""Okay, wait for me outside. We're leaving soon.""Yes, Sire." He bowed and left."Sanguine! I heard rumors about this clan that they were abducting humans, but the council couldn't find evidence about it. Tonight, I'll find out if this is true or just a rumor.KING LEROYWe halted about a kilometer from the Sanguine border with my four trusted guards and thirty others. Sanguine coven only has a hundred and ten members, including females and children, and it would be easy for us to wipe them all."Sire, can we leave the children and females? They're innocent of what their members were doing." "Raul, if they stay away and do not do anything, okay, I leave them, but when they join the fight, don't leave anyone breathing.""Yes, Sire." They all answered."Okay, let's go." With vampire speed, we burst into their territory and killed everyone that our eyes passed by. Screaming and grunting echoed throughout the night and blood-drenched the ground. "Sire, please spare us." A woman hugging a female child, maybe two or three years old, begged, kneeling not far away from me, trembling in fear while the child was crying."Take them," I ordered one of my men, and I continued moving. I kicked the door, and Donovan, the coven's leader, quickly attacked
KING LEROY"You can do anything to me after this, Sire. Just please do it now." She urged. I took a deep breath."Raul, give me a knife." He quickly handed me a pocket knife, and without wasting time, I slowly cut her belly open. Her blood drenched my hand, and it was so inviting to lick, but I held myself. "A little bit more, Sire." The woman said. I cut deeper but was careful not to hurt the baby inside. When it was big enough, I slipped my hand inside but quickly pulled it when I felt a current run through my hand. I looked at the woman, and she smiled."Take her out, Sire." She urged me. I put my hand inside again, and I felt her head. I feel the current again, but this time, it gives a warm feeling. Slowly, I pulled her out, and when she was finally out, she wasn't breathing and a bit blue."Hold her upside down, Sire." I did as Amara told me, but still, she wasn't moving. I panicked, as well as the woman. I held her closer to my chest and softly patted her back. "Open your eye
KING LEROYThe following night, many came to see my fake mate. All the leaders of different covens came to pay their respect to their Queen, and we buried Arabella after. I know everyone was waiting for me to go berserk. It happened to us when our mate died. We become feral or end our lives. Instead, after the burial, I locked myself inside my room and instructed Raul to introduce Amara, Cheche, and my mate to everyone, but I sneaked into the meeting hall, making sure no one saw me. I wanted to see the reaction of my people to their arrival."This is Amara, a member of the Sanguine clan. King Leroy spared her life for saving these two human children. They're the children of one of the human prisoners at the Sanguine clan, but she's already dead. So King Leroy took them in to live with us." "Humans are not allowed to live with us. They're just going to die soon. You knew their blood was like a magnet pulling us with them." One of many vampires said."Can you smell their blood now?" T
A knock at the door comes, and Amara steps inside. "Sire, the food is ready.""I'll be down in a few minutes," I answered and fixed the paper scattered on my desk before I followed Amara downstairs.The six kids were already sitting at their respective high chairs digging at their food, and the rest of the vampires staying in the castle bowed their heads as a greeting.I sat at the head of the table, and a servant quickly placed a plate of fooKING LEROYA knock at the door comes, and Amara steps inside.

KING LEROYI sat inside my office, deep in thought, with my most trusted guards in front of me. Bella, she's dead, and the culprit is no other than her father, who ended up dead as well when her wife caught him and ended up dead when she took her own life. No one believes that Omar can do it to her daughter because everyone sees how he loves her.It's been a week since the incident, but we can't find any reason why Omar would try to kill me, not bothering to think about his daughter when he let go of the arrow even though Bella was so near me. No one could answer all the questions inside my mind, which made me furious. Who was behind all this? I had already searched the whole castle, every room, and everyone's house to find out who was hiding a silver arrow, but we found nothingThe only clue we got before the incidents happened was that some other guards saw Omar acting differently. They said he seemed like a robot, moving around as if someone was commanding him to do a thing, and th
KING LEROYI stood near my office window, watching the children playing at the playground at the back of the castle. The laughter of my mate was contagious as Lauren chased her around, and it brought a smile to my lips as well. They have been playing tug of war for hours now, and they are all drenched in sweatThe moon shines brightly up at the sky, lighting the night. The other kids were so giving to my mate. I'm sure if they wanted, they could catch her instantly, but they lessened their speed too much with the human children, and until now, my mate hasn't noticed it.I'm so thankful that the vampire children listened to my warning to ensure that Sadie didn't know our kind until she was old enough to understand. And I'm so proud of them for being considerate of my mateI'm so happy that despite Sadie being human, I can see that they cared for her, and I'm sure they will protect her if ever there's a danger coming her way.She's six years old now, turning seven in a few months. She g
KING LEROYI groaned when a soft knock sounded outside my door before someone pushed it open. I smile inside when I hear a small step come closer to my bed, and then Sadie's lips touch my cheek."Sire, it's waking up time. It's already seven in the evening, and everyone is waiting in the dining hall. The food is ready." She whispered and planted a kiss on my cheek again."Five more minutes," I murmured without opening my eyes."Okay." I heard her answer, and then she sat on the edge of my bed. I smiled inside and pulled her beside me. "Sire, I'm not sleepy. I already bathe and brush my teeth."I just hummed and pulled her on my chest, and I rested my chin on top of her head. She giggled and snuggled closer to me, which made me smile, and I drifted off to sleep again."Sire." I groaned when another knock sounded at the door, but this time, it was Amara. I open my eyes and look at the clock at the bedside table and gasp when I see the time, eight o'clock. I fell back asleep for an hou
It took like forever until I was finally able to move a finger. Sadie is still sobbing and trembling beside me, as well as Cheche. I tried to move again, and this time, I moved my hand. "Sire can move now." My little mate cried and quickly wrapped her arms around my neck. I groaned, raising my hand. On my first attempt, I only raised it a few centimeters before it fell on the floor again. I tried again, but it was still the same. Cheche noticed it, and she helped me by pulling my hand and putting it around my little mate, now straddling my lap."Sire, can you talk now?" Cheche asked. "Hmmm!!! The only sound came out from my lips. Sadie pulled away from me and then placed her on my face."Are you alright now, Sire? Are you in pain? Do you want me to do anything?" She asked, tears streaming down her face."I...I'm fi...fine." I finally uttered. She smiled
