Animals

Chapter 29

ELIJA'S POV

I kissed her... I must have the biggest balls in the world to do that. She's probably planning my demise after that kiss. I lightly trace my lips with my fingers. The feel of her lips lingers there...

I want to tell her everything, I want to spill my heart out in front of her. But what if she hates me? She already doesn't want Nuriona knowing about me, well me being her father. Her body language shows she hates me, but her eyes... Her deep ocean eyes say otherwise.

I don't love her for her looks, but for who she is. She's strong, she's determined, careless of her own being, caring, kind, and a great mother. There's no doubt in my mind I chose the perfect one. She's way too good for me. A rustle in the bushes catches me off guard.

"Who's there?" I question. I sniff the air; it's not a Nia that's for sure, but it's a vampire.

"You're majesty." Says a feminine voice. "Lavara." I hiss. How the hell she find me. She bows her head in respect.

"I'm not returning." I comment firmly.  She lifts her head up. A sigh leaves her lips at my comment. "I know, but that's not why I'm here." I frown my eyebrows in confusion.

"Then why?" I ask. "I've been wondering why you've been spying on Ms. Sinaria." I freeze at her words. How have I not notice Lavara spying on me?! "She's the enemy, I looking for weaknesses." I lie. The words leave a sicking taste in my mouth.

"The child holds vampire genes, and not just any vampire genes... The Crimson family genes." She states. F**K!!!! How the hell did she know! She would of had to have gotten some sort of DNA!

"The Crimson family has always held this aura." She states as if reading my mind. "Don't you dare tell my mother." I demand murderously. That rotten b**ch will harm my family.

"What would you do if I did?" She asks. I grabbed her by the collar of her shirt, holding her high in the air in one swift motion. "I will kill you, and everything you love." I growl.

I know cupcake thinks I'm not helping our family in anyway, but that's a lie. I'm protecting them from my mother. My mother would kill them... I wouldn't ever be able to live with that.

I won't let history repeat itself. "Her highness Vanaria misses you." Lavara states. That woman can love all she wants, but I'll never return that love. No, not after what she did.

As I walk down the crimson colored hallways, with flowery golden designs on them I catch a strange conversation. The door to my mother's study was slightly open.

"But why?" A deep male voice unknown to me speaks. Feeling intrigued by the conversation. I find myself eavesdropping.

"That man was teaching my son to rule over these people fairly!" My mother's voice roars through the room. "They must be ruled by fear, by knowing the one's with the money are the only one's with word." She states. Who is she talking, could it be... No...

"So I made sure my dear King Avalore got what he deserved. My heart dropped. No she couldn't have...

"It was easy, he never would of expected his dear Queen to kill him." My heart dropped as the cold words left her mouth.

A month ago father died... I loved him, he taught me how to be a great king when I grow up. After he died mother decided to teach me. Her ways were different, but I never protested. She killed my father for being a good man.

Hatred filled my heart, my body burned just thinking about her. She lied to me, she tricked me, she killed my father! I take a deep breath, before knocking on the door.

"Who is it?" She growled. I slowly entered. "Mother, I'm not feeling well." Her crimson red eyes soften as they see me. It made me sick.

I was only eight at the time. I can't let her kill my family. As soon as I was able to leave to castle I ran away. I ditched the name of future king. I'm glad I did, or I would have never met her... The woman of my dreams, the Goddess of my life. Sinagona Sinaria.

I'd give my everything to be able to hold her in my arms. She is my one and truly.

"Lavara, leave." I growl. Cupcake will be out here any minute. I don't want to break what little trust she has in me left. Obeying my wish Lavara vanishes in an instant.

Right on cue cupcake leaves out the front door.

My sweet cupcake....
