The War Lord's Prize

Chapter Eight

~Welcome to chapter eight~

Prince Ranesh led me through a couple of doors and hallways, and I made sure I kept a lot of distance between us.
I didn't trust him at all.

I suspected that Mistress Elena left to see the king when I was wasting time by relishing the warmth of the carriage, so Prince Ranesh for an unknown reason was taking me to her.

I hope.

I wanted to ask why we weren't there yet, but I had to remind myself that I was just a human, and he was royalty.

We passed some servants, and maids on the way that gave me weird looks. Maybe because I was practically naked. I lowered my gaze and clutched the box to my chest, an attempt to cover my breasts. I wasn't sure it worked.

Prince Ranesh stopped in front of a large double door, and I stopped a few steps behind him. The guards standing in their usual rigid stances in front of the door bowed as he told them something I couldn't hear, and left.

Almost immediately, another guard made his way to Prince Ranesh and bowed as he addressed him. "My Prince, the vampires arrived minutes ago, and the king requires your presence immediately".

I frowned.

"Tell my father I'll be with him shortly, I have ...", he turned his face to my direction, his eyes gleaming with mischief. "I have something important to take care of first".

As I watched the guard walk away, it dawned on me that he wasn't walking me into the meeting room but into a trap he knew I had no way out of.

***

I clutched the box so hard my ribs started to ache, as I took steps away from Prince Ranesh.

The double doors led to the royal garden. I had been to the royal garden before with Mistress Elena. It was beautiful, and nothing less than magical, and I didn't want to leave but now I was standing face to face with the fairy that had wicked plans for me, the scents of the flowers choked me.

His lips stretched to a devious smile, and his tongue poked out, swiping across them as his eyes wandered down the length of my sheer gown.

"Prince Ranesh Mistress Elena must be waiting for me", I said, trying and failing terribly to keep my voice from quaking.

He started walking closer to me, and when I tried to step back, he grabbed my upper arm harshly and pulled my body flush against his. The scent of his expensive body oils wafted through my nostrils, as his other hand began to snake around my waist.
"I'm the heir to the fairy throne, your Mistress Elena is beneath me", he boasted.

"Prince Ranesh please", I pleaded, as he buried his nose in the crook of my neck sniffing me.

"Please me, and I shall let you go", he said, "The faster you are... ",  His hand dropped from my waist to my bottom, and I gasped at the contact. "..The better".

"I can't do that", I informed him, as I tried to create some distance between us, but he was too strong.

"Are you refusing me pet?", He asked, his eyes hardening.

A chill ran down my spine. "Prince Ranesh please me go".

In response to my plea, he clasped me even harder against him, grinding his pelvis against mine. A groan escaped his lips, while I felt disgust.

"Stop!", I yelled and tried to push him away.

" I won't be doing that today pet".

In less than a second, he had used a speed I didn't know he had to shove me harshly against the wall.

My back ached, and my eyes watered in pain. I felt like I couldn't breathe anymore, but as soon as he lifted my dress to my stomach, and touched that sensitive place between my legs, I regained my strength and hit his chest. Of course, I was the only one that felt pain. He felt like a rock ... a very hard rock.

He pressed his body hard against mine, to restrict my movement.
"Stop!", I screamed, but it seemed to arouse him even more because he hardened even more against my thigh.

Tears began streaming down my cheeks as he put his hand into my thong.

"Please just stop", I begged.

Where was Mistress Elena?

"She isn't yours is she?", A voice breezed.

I was thankful for the intrusion, because Prince Ranesh stopped what he was doing between my legs even though he didn't take out his hand.

"Brother leave us!", he commanded, "I am very busy".

"Is your definition of busy having your way with a powerless human?", the voice continued.

I could see a frown forming on Prince Ranesh's face, but he didn't turn around to address whoever it was.

"Please help m..", I tried to say, but Prince Ranesh slammed his hand over my mouth, causing the back of my head to connect with the wall painfully. My eyes burned from the pain.

He didn't move, straining his ears to hear the voice again. "That doesn't sound like any of my brothers", he hissed, his eyes flashing.

I hadn't been around the royal family long enough, so I couldn't confirm what Prince Ranesh had said, but something about this person's voice sounded foreign to my ears. His accent was unlike anything I've heard.

Prince Ranesh sighed after a while, his body relaxing against mine. "I must have had too much wine at the ball", he mumbled, and then he laughed a little.

His eyes met mine, and a devilish smile spread across his face. " Where were we?".

"You are the heir. I've heard stories about you". The voice started again, and this time, Prince Ranesh shoved himself off me quickly, his eyes flashed to every inch of the garden, and his hands balled into fists.

"Show yourself!", Prince Ranesh roared. "I shall have my father behead you this very night, and serve your body to the wolves to feed on".

There was no response, and I crouched low on the ground and crawled away from Prince Ranesh.

I needed to run now.

All of a sudden, the lights flickered and shut, plunging us into darkness. My eyes widened, and I fought a scream, crawling even further away to where I didn't know.

"What's going on?", Prince Ranesh asked himself. I could hear his harsh breathing even from where I was. He was afraid.

"I've heard stories of how weak you are. The stories did you no Justice for I have never seen any being more pathetic in all my years", the voice said, but this time, I saw crimson-red eyes in front of where I knew Prince Ranesh stood.
