King lazarus (Book 2 Of Mystic Series)

WAR

Lazarus POV

I led Elizabeth and my friends to the secret enclave of my castle where we will discuss the plan the course of action of the war against the anti monarch cult.

"Sire, we had the Royal spies search the kingdom to find the hiding point and assembly point of the leader of the cult. We also figured out that they have sleeper cells spread across the country
.. Killing the leader shall kill the agenda and the entire anti monarch group shall break down and be defeated. " Said  Martin

"Approximately 800 vampires are in the cult and to kill them we shall need our entire special Royal army commandos, use of our high tech war machines and also our positivity of winning the war" Said Brendon

"Ya, while you lead to war I and a small section of the Royal army's sumo commandos,  protect the queen. We swear to protect her with our life" Said Oliver

"I'll be holding you to that, Oliver, Liza here is my life, I almost lost her once, I won't be able to bear that again" I said as I kissed her on the crown of her temple. She safely tucked her head beneath my chin as she rested her self against my body. God, having her in my arms like this was a leisure which even all the gold I owned couldn't buy.

The plan was formulated and I saw Elizabeth stare at me... With fear. I looked at everyone and telepathically told them to leave us alone for a while.

"Liza, sweet heart, what happened? Are you still scared of me? I swear what I did earlier in our lives will never be repeated.. I. I.... " I was cut of by soft voice

"I'm not scared of you Zar... I am scared for you. What if something goes wrong during the war and you end up hurt. I can't lose you. I care for you... I care for you so deeply. " She said, tears glistening in her eyes.

"Sweet heart, I swear... No matter what I'll return to you... I promise.. I also care for you deeply and I did promise that I will never let you cry again. " I said as I wiped her tears and tickled her to make her smile.

I carried her back to our room as I gently tucked her in bed.

"Rest for now, darling.. This is our room in the main castle... The safest place in the world... Oliver and the army shall be guarding this room with their life.. If by any chance hell breaks loose here , remove this book from the shelf, a panic room will open where you shall remain safe. Only I, Oliver, Martin or Brendon cna open the doors again... If we don't return, you just need to say solicits to open the door. "I said

" Zar, swear on my life, that you will come back to me"she said

I remained quiet

"Zar, swear on my life.. I can't let you go without you doing so" She said

"I swear on your life  I shall return back to you" I said loudly  "alive or dead" I said underneath my breadth.

With one last kiss on here forehead , I left to prepare for war.

---------
A month passed and day by day  the anti monarchs were killed without mercy, till finally the day came and they were all wiped out. I would be finally returning to my girl, with a gaping Jasper Wood wound in my abdomen... I might not survive this.

---------

"Liza , we won the war." I called out and winced

I heard the clicking of her heels and then I saw her in front of me looking even more radiant and beautiful than ever. Luckily hell did not break lose in the castle and everyone, specially my girl remained safe.
She immediately hugged me tight and k could control the wince the huh made me release

"Your hurt" Said Liza as she frowned at the blood gushing out my abdomen

"What caused it... Was it Jasper Wood? "Asked Oliver.

There was no pint lying and so I nodded

" No, you need Liza blood go heal otherwise you will die"said Oliver. I couldn't even stop him before he said that. I saw Liza's eyes widen

"My blood...? " She asked as she helped me sit down.

"Then on my way a vampire can heal from a wound inflicted by Jasper Wood is when they drink the blood of their mate" Explained Oliver as I moaned in pain.

Some part of me wanted for my mate to save me, but then again, after what I have done why would she.

She looked down at me, her eyes softening before she smiled.

"Oliver help me take him to our room" She said and Oliver nodded, picking me up and depositing me on the bed.

"We would like some privacy now" She said

"Yes queen" He said shoving everyone out of the room.

Liza locked the door before walki g back to me, she shifted her hair, baring ber neck to me.

"Drink" She said

I just blinked at her, not really believing my ears.

"Drink zar, I can't lose you... " She said shaking me slightly and I nodded

"This will hurt  a bit" I said and she nodded.

I used my fangs piercing into her delicate skin of her neck, making her moan in pain while I sucked the blood out of her veins... I could feel the skin knitting itself together and the pain disappearing, till only what was left was a scar. Using my saliva, I picked the wound close and then caught her in my arms as she swayed a bit.

I handed her a glass of orange squash, allowing her to replenish sime nutrients

"Thank you" I said and she smiled

"I'm glad your okay" She said tracing the thin line of the new scar.

A few more months passed and it was finally Halloween. I was absolutely sure I was in love with her and now I couldn't contain it within myself... I needed to tell her my feelings and so that's what I did.

It was a dark stormy night. The wind was howling and the rain pattered on the ground, drenching the flora and fauna in its droplets. Did I care nope. I did not. I have her an umbrella as I led her to the car and drove to our destination.

I took her put to a graveyard, the very place my family was buried. I introduced her to them as if they were alive and all this time while I was an emotional wreck Liza kept me strong, she was my piller.
Just before we left the place, I kneeled down on one knee and held her hands

"Dove, the day ist you was the best day of my life. I know I have a non beating heart, I was heartless, a jerk, a total bitch, but still you put up with me and slowly you began to grow on me. You made my non beating heart best again. I'm not good at expressing my feelings and all I want to say today is that... I love you... I love you with all that is left of me... I might not be worthy of your love... But I just could not live with myself not telling you how I feel about you. "I said

She started at me as if I were a ghost and then suddenly she just froze up.

" Dove, what happened? Are you alright?"I asked looking around for any signs of danger.
