Her Blood - (Whispers of Fate: Book 1)

Chapter 4

Trigger warning: Self Harm is mentioned. It isn't graphic though

Grace's Point Of View:

I was lost in his beautiful eyes. I couldn't look anywhere else. My cheeks turned pink under his gaze.

The way he was caressing my face was just wonderful, I was never touched so gently before.

Suddenly, his face turned hard and he retreated back. He clenched his fists.

He took the glass full of blood and threw it on the floor. The glass was shattered into pieces and blood spilled on the floor.

I snapped back to reality. What the heck did just happen?! Why did the King touch me this way?

"GET THE FU*K OUT OF HERE AND NEVER EVER SHOW ME YOUR PATHETIC FACE AGAIN!" he said with venom dripping from each word.

I ran out of the room with tears in my eyes.

I was sitting here in the bathroom and crying. I wanted to die. Why am I in so much pain? I did nothing bad to anyone.

Why was it hurting so bad? I wasn't even in love with him. But the way he said those words...

I wanted to die. Fortunately, there was a scissor here.

Should I cut myself? I don't know what to do.

Is cutting your hands or committing suicide really an act of weakness?

I stared at the scissors.

It takes a lot of courage to do anything like that, I realized.

"HUMAN!" Kayla's voice brought me back to reality.

Oh my gosh! I am so dumb! How can I even think about doing that?!

"Yeah?" I said.

"Come out. We need to talk," she said.

"Okay..." I said and came out of the bathroom, wiping my tears.

"Were you crying? What happened?" Kayla said with a frown. Why is she suddenly so changed?

"Anyways, I wanted to apologize to you for my behavior. I am so sorry about it. I was angry yesterday and then took all of my frustration and anger on you" she said.

I never thought she would apologize to me. I don't think there was any sincerity in her apology, though.

"Okay," I said and sat on my bed.

My thoughts went back to the King, making me depressed.

"Beloved," I muttered to myself.

"Beloved? Where did you hear that? Do you even know what it means in this world?" Kayla asked.

How did she hear what I said? My voice was too low to be heard.

"I don't know. Why? Does it have any significant meaning to it?" I asked.

"Of course yes! Beloved means your soul mate. Every vampire has a soul mate. I have never met mine, but I am excited to meet my beloved. You live your whole life with your beloved, loving and caring for them," Kayla said before zoning out.

I frowned hearing that.

"The moment your eyes meet your beloved's eyes you find out that they are your soul mate. I wonder when I'll meet my beloved, Grace."

Today my eyes met King Andrew's eyes for the first time. What if I am his beloved?

Nah, that can't happen. I should stop over-analyzing things.
