"I will be alright, love."She had said that so naturally and his body stiffened at the words of endearment. This was the very first time she had ever used an endearment towards him and the effect on him – even though he was in this state – was just as unnerving.The sweet endearment swirled around inside him like some kind of spell, scattering his thoughts and erasing every struggle, every pain and insatiable hunger that even wildness and ferocity of the monster within seemed to have been momentarily reigned in for the moment.Then there was that confident and natural way she was talking about how he should just bite into her and drink of her blood. Where did she even muster up such courage? The way she was going about it was as if they were just referring to plain old water or even wine. Did she not realise that this was not something one can just take off on a free-flow basis? They were talking life giving blood here. He felt the situation was so surreal that the thought that this w

The first to emerge from the doorway was David. Everyone's eyes were trained intensely at that spot, all excited and at the same time apprehensive of what might come through it. As David lifted his head upon exiting, he saw everyone looking at him in alarm as his eyes were red and he looked as if he had just barely escaped with his life from something – and that something was one which is dangerous. What the hell! Did the princess fail and now the prince was after David?"What's wrong?" The men asked but David could not even bring himself to speak as of yet. It could be seen that he was trying his hardest to control himself, his hunger."The princess… what happened to –" Zolan froze and could not finish his statement as right at that moment, everyone began to smell an indescribably mouth-watering sweet scent that wafter over to them. That scent alone caused every single one present there to freeze and lose all rational thought or questions they had running through their minds.It was a

"Amazing! The scent is completely gone! There is not even a trace left!" Levy exclaimed with eyes as wide as saucers. The men followed after Romeo – who was carrying Roselle protectively in his arms – as they all headed to the chambers of the prince and princess."Leon truly has done an amazing job. He used a strange herb on her wound." Zolan said and the others looked at Leon with amazement.Leon looked away and rubbed the back of his neck with his palm. "It wasn't that amazing. It's a common knowledge for humans. My mom is a human, so naturally, I have learnt about these things.""Still … that's quite amazing. We wouldn't have known heads or tails on what to do if you weren't here." David said in a serious tone when Zolan spoke."Are you certain this is a common knowledge, Leon?" he asked, questions and curiosity brimming in his intelligent eyes. "None of us have ever heard about any of the herbs that could completely hide the scent of a bitten human. Because the princess is now bitt

Currently, the statue that was named Romeo was frozen with shock and could not move for a while. When Roselle was about to speak, he dropped his head a little lower, and he drew in a breath that was not quite steady. He inhaled in such a slow but greedy way like how addicts absorbed a narcotic smoke.Roselle creased her brows. But when she perceived that it must be because of her blood, her heartbeat raced. Oh no.Suddenly losing her powers of speech, Roselle just stared at him with anxious and worried eyes. Her nerves still seemed to still be asleep at the moment that her brain was slow to respond in telling her what she should be doing or saying. Those large, crystalline eyes trained themselves on Romeo, silently observing his every move."Damn it," Romeo whispered all of a sudden. And before she could register in her brain on what was happening, they were inside their chambers again.Romeo hastily but gently laid Roselle down on their bed but instead of pulling away, he held himself

At the sudden soft but determined lips of Roselle that descended on him, Romeo felt his whole being jolt in shock. Romeo had never expected a kiss to be coming so voluntarily and determinedly – especially one from his usually shy and reticent wife – so his eyes widened at the touch of her supple and pouty lips against his, unable to believe what was happening. Was she really kissing him without him asking? This had got to be a dream, albeit a crazy wonderful one though. And he was not minding it one bit. That was right, he was not the one who was asking for a kiss. He simply told her to persuade him! He did not … then why… oh, God…A blurry memory flashed in his mind and Romeo saw Roselle kissing him in the darkness. That was right, this was not actually the first time she had done this. She had kissed him like this too in the dungeon, back when he was still under the influence of his inner monster. Though there were flashes of memories that he could somewhat recall, Romeo's memories a
