"Thinking about me?"
A voice at the massive door dragged me out of my sorrowful thoughts. I turned my head lazily and looked at the door. There stood the vampire prince in black leather pants and a loose black shirt. His untrimmed hair crowded around his shoulders making him look so beautiful.
"I can't help it sometimes" I answered
"Neither can I" he answered walking into the library "I was looking for you, I thought your dad abducted you"
"He can't, am of no use to him,only my power is"
He sat on the table "how do you know?"
"If I was impo to him, he wouldn't let me stay here all this while, he would have already attacked and howled me away"
"You got a point" he agreed.
"Seems you were in contact with the DEVIL'S POWER BOOKLET"
"Devil's what?"
"Devil's power booklet, it's the book you found in the petal coven" I moved the boom close to him "here, it is written, the book was found by several people and they tried to destroy it by all means. It didn't work so they burried it within the walls of the petal coven "
"Si how does it work?"
"It is magical, according to my theory it knows or rather understands what we want deep down and it gives us that what we want. In return we offer blood, in the process we sell our souls or half of it to the king of the underworld "
"That is scary"
"What is?" I asked shutting the book
"I don't think I can accept the fact that I cultivated the wrong skills that are costing me much more than I intended to offer or give." He stared at me for a moment "so I am tied right?"
"You can say that"
"How can I free myself then?"
"There is nothing written about how to be free of the cultivation. But there must be a way" I sighed "besides the last wish of the merchant was for someone to find a way to destroy the book or seal it forever or return it to wherever it belongs."
"I don't even know where the book is. It disappeared as soon as I finished the cultivation"
"Probably seeking another potential host!"
"So it is a parasite?"
"I may say it is a medium. Through it, the king of the underworld wins souls in a foul play giving all blinding gifts in return"
"This is sad!"
"It should be"
I sat back staring at the massive book for a while then back at Grey.
"Do you know or can you relate the handwriting on the book with anyone? We might know who wrote it and so find some missing links ,right?" I really hoped he would find out
He looked at the book for a long time then shook his head.
"It is not an original handwriting, it seems forged so I can't tell who wrote it"
"That is ok, we will find out somehow don't worry about it" I assured him and his knitted brows relaxed
"Anyway this book needs to be secured, I don't trust anyone in this coven!"
"I will keep it safe myself " he assured shutting the thick book.
"I need to go rest now. I am a little exhausted from a lot of reading " I stood up dusting the shorts.
"Wait" I looked up at him "you are... I mean there's something different about you"
"Like what?"
"You look more beautiful today "
I stared at him in disbelief "if you are in the mood of flirting, am sorry I am not "
"Am serious!"
I tried to think for a moment then shrugged "may e you finally opened your eyes and saw that am the most beautiful woman in the world"
"Wow, that was new" he walked over to me holding my shoulders "be in my clothe often. You look gorgeous "
"You are being too flirty your highness "
"Am I the only one flirting?"
"Am I ?"
"Can't you tell?"
"Don't dare tangle me in your pants as well, the trap was set for you!"
He grinned toothily "I would love to see the loon on your face when you get tangled in them"
"Oh, that will never happen my dearest prince" I warned fiercely "and you better stop being perverted "
"Can you beat me?"
He trapped me again the wall. Unbelievable!
"Why should I?"
"For being a pervert?" He stared at me suggestively. Was he trying to be sexy while he was without making an effort to be? Don't overdose it prince, I have a reputation to keep!
I cleared my throat tilting my head o look up at him.
"Don't tempt me!"
"What can you do?"
My gaze held his and I leaned forward. A smile sliced my lips as I grabbed the back of his neck. He grinned contagiously as he took a step closer. Our lips were inches apart and he closed his eyes. I smirked victoriously and teleport to the door. He was shocked and he suddenly faced me with a murderous glare.
"Don't blame me prince. I promised never to use my power but when I am facing perverts, I warned you u would not be an obedient girl"
"Wow, you really know how to dogde"
"I learnt from the best" I flattered him generously "don't forget to lock the door, oh and keep the book safe"
I winked at him and walked away. I could hear his sights of disbelief as I walked off.
"Hey wait" he rushed over. I turned my gaze to him waiting for him to start flirting again.
"Are you feeling better?"
"I am, why?"
"Because you always scare me when you are in that much agony"
I stared at him, for a moment I thought I was his mate and we were married. I slapped myself back to reality and huffed.
"I shouldn't"
"But you do...
"Look here Grey" I held his huge hands with my small ones. "I shouldn't worry you, there is a lot to worry about. Not Becky, a Gala who has a father who's an asshole. Worry about this coven, he might be targeting it next or your power and well being and your mate too"
"But....
"No 'buts' you'll listen to me and stop worrying too much. I am nineteen, remember? I can take care of myself just fine"
"What if something happens to you again?"
"I will bear the pain since it is mine to bear. You'll only make sure I don't die, won't you?" I looked up at him hopefully
"I will...yet....
I shook my head in disapproval "listen to me this once, won't you?"
He squinted his eyes biting his lip hard as if trying to resist what I had said.
"Let me just hold you" he collected me into his arms and sighed loudly. "Why don't we go through the blood vow?"
I stepped nlback immediately "why? I don't want it"
"That way we can share the pain, I will block mine but we share yours. That way I will feel at ease"
I shook my head fiercely "I am not that selfish Grey, I am not happy either when you're in pain"
"Then what can I do for you, tell me I will do anything" he sounded too sweet, too loving too caring, too familiar. I almost fell for it but I remembered even if he fell for me he wouldn't be mine, right?
I smiled sadly cupping his cheeks. His skin was cold and smooth just as I remember it to be.
"You don't have to do anything, just be happy and don't go back to the darkness you lived in before. Be you, be Adrian Grey, be the prince you are, be the leader you are, be the mate you have to be. Don't worry about me am sure your mate wouldn't appreciate this much attention you offer me rather than her. I am happy as long as you are"
He said nothing,he just stared into my eyes for a long time. I was afraid of even blinking, I stared into those green eyes that made me weak effortlessly. What a charmer you are... Or was I the one who fell a bit too hard?
You're just irresistible Grey!
"Don't look at me like that" I warned
"How am I looking at you?" He raised a brow and my mouth turned into an O shape. What a guy.... Who the hell taught you the skill of seduction?
"That look can make me give up on the world and everything else and just fall in love with you. Be a fool with you and not to think of anything. It can make me give up the whole me to you"
He smiled slowly cupping my cheek.
"Why are you so adorable?"
"You noticed?"
"I have always noticed"
I smiled flirtily "you didn't tell me"
"Holding it against me?"
"I think you're the last person I will ever hold something against" I responded honestly.
He looked down at me for a long time and those eyes were making me loose my guard that I had worked so hard to hold together. It was falling apart.
"Why didn't I meet you sooner?"
"Maybe we were always meant to meet this way"
He shook his head slowly "if it was sooner, a lot of things wouldn't be as messy as they are right now. I think I would have been happier. Maybe....
I covered his mouth with my palm "say no more, regretting makes you worse than you already are. Just make your present better than the past reopening wounds doesn't make them heal faster. It makes them worse. Swallow that bitterness or spit it out and live now and tomorrow. When you sound that regretful it makes my heart sour"
He peeled my hand off his mouth and pat my hair.
"Alright I will stop it" he exhaled sharply "can I hold you?"
I nodded and he held me in his arms, I closed my eyes and sighed slowly. I thought falling in love was all flowery. So falling in love hurt sometimes ha? I should have been warned before I soaked in love with a vampire prince.
We held each for long till we were disrupted by Jayden's voice.
"Master, something came up"
I stepped away feeling embarrassed unlike Grey who was composed.
"What happened?"
His soft and silky tone had suddenly turned hard and authoritative.
"The galaxy to the north is strange something happened an hour ago. It was like a blast and the pattern in the sky seems strange and it matches something mentioned in the SPELL BOOK!"
I panicked, the SPELL BOOK??
"Tell me about it" Grey demanded
"It seems the spell book has found a place to reside in"
"Which translates to?"
"Someone cultivated the book!"
I thought I was finding the source of my power, so I was cultivating the spells and skills instead? I wanted to face palm myself but I held it together.
Grey was deep in thoughts while Jayden seemed to be freaking out. Was cultivating a spell book strange or bad?
"Where did you place the spell book?"
Grey asked while I was busy stari at the door to the library.
"Hello missy" he snapped his fingers Infront of my face.
"Yes , I don't have it"
He raised a brow "too bad I know when this little miss is hiding something" he grabbed my wrist and began moving.
