Black Satin| Loving Alucard

Chapter 8| Don't Touch Her

Anger and impatience fill my body as I wait for my hand to meet me in the council room finally after what feels like hours he walks with a sly smile on his face. I watch him as he walks up slowly to my throne. "Ah your majesty," he says as he bows. "You have something to discuss with me?" He asks I feel rage take over my body my eyes now glowing red as I grab him by his neck pinning him to the wall.

"You know EXACTLY what this is about Rion," I say trying not to snap his neck. "Don't play dumb with me you know I can kill you in seconds" I say gritting my teeth. Rion's face goes expressionless "You see your majesty all I intended to happen was for her to understand that she shall not cause trouble for any of us!" He says now a sly smile on his face "As you see we can't have others getting suspicious so all I did was warn her" he whispers the smile still plastered on his face.

"I should kill you" I threaten my grip getting tighter against his throat. "Yes even if you should you can't because no other person could direct you like I do!" He says with a cocky tone. "Don't get cocky with me" I yell finally letting go of him. "If you ever put your hands on her again I WILL kill you!" I yell anger in my eyes as I turn to sit back on my throne. "You are dismissed," I say in a powerful tone hoping he won't be a pest and leave.

I watch him closely sitting down on my throne as he finally exits the room. "How dare he? I don't care what my subjects think or the council I'm the king! I rule this land." I say to myself quietly memories of my first love flood my mind how I loathe her and how I was the reason for her death. That day she died her father the elven god Selecion cursed me to suffer by having immortal life and having to survive on blood. Knowing this would cause me to truly suffer I had no choice but to let it happen as her blood was on my hands.

I had only been a young man at that time and she was just a young woman her birthday only days before. We have known each other since we were small children and have admired one another since that day. I knew she was my soulmate but tragedy struck after she was attacked in her chamber just days after our wedding. Her screams filled my ears as I ran to find her she collapsed in my arms on her porch after trying to run to my home. I held her while she took her last breath as her blood stained her light blush pink nightgown as the moon lit up the night. That was the first and last time I ever cried as then I was cursed to become the monster I am today.

That was hundreds of years ago and times have changed but I've never stopped thinking about who did this to her and why she had to die when they wanted me. After that rage filled my body as I tried to find her killer I massacred thousands also creating my new vampire army. But I knew that Carolyna would have wanted me to avenge her in another way so I stopped and eventually built my castle and "married" my now wife. A sigh leaves my body as memories of her flood my mind and how much Arista looks like her them being completely identical. Carolyna had a special ability being the daughter of an elven god she could control elements in any way she pleased.

With it being many decades since she last lived I don't think Arista would have any such abilities. Worry fills my mind as I feel the need to make sure Arista is safe I make my way to her chambers. After a while of walking not wanting to startle her, I finally reach the door of her chambers. I sigh quietly as I knock lightly on her door, waiting a few seconds with no answer I brace myself to enter. "Arista my dear is coming in," I say as I gently open her bedroom door my gaze instantly landing on her sleeping body as it lays under the fur blankets. The satin sheet made her skin glow a smile formed on my face as I shut the door behind me quietly made my way to the bed I took off my boots. Finally, I see her soft beautiful face her cheeks rosy and her hair slightly in her face I push rogue strands away tucking them behind her ear.

"Such beauty...." I whisper as I then place a gentle kiss on her forehead finally laying down next to her. I take the sleeping woman into my arms I watch her peacefully sleep as her chest rises and falls. Her soft gentle breaths are like a song to my ears a soft innocent smile on her face. I pull her close to me wrapping her in my arms, this is something I haven't felt in a long time as I won't waste my time of day sleeping with that hag. This is who I've always wanted, who I've always yearned for my beautiful wife. If only she knew everything I've done to have her back in my arms to have her as mine once more and everything I will continue to do to make sure it stays this way.

Knowing I can't sleep as vampires are unable to I softly stroke her head as I intertwine my pale fingers into her flame-red curly hair. Everything about this woman is exact to my wife only she hasn't shown any possession of abilities and she is missing the beauty mark my wife had under her lip. Even so, I've never seen someone so beautiful, so pure and so innocent if only she knew what Adrian was planning to do to her. "I promise I'll always protect you" I whisper to her the soft sound of the fire crackling. "I won't lose you again! Even if it means becoming a monster once more" I promise not only to her but also to myself.

"I love you...."
