Draco's POV

I held her till the next morning with her cuddled against me. I smiled feeling her tightly wrapped around me, her smell intoxicating my senses. I licked my lips seeing her naked form before me, my sheets would have to be cleaned. I had forgotten her blood soaked feet when I put her in my bed. It was also covered in other incriminating things and I knew my father, if he learned, would disapprove.

I kissed her softly as I pulled her off me and walked to the bathroom. I got ready and then got a bath started for her. I got ready until I heard her wake. I walked towards her.

"Come get ready love. Breakfast will be served soon. French-toast with powdered sugar. And fruit."

"Oh that sounds so good!" She squealed happily. I grinned seeing the excitement that radiated through her. Roselyn looked up at me with a grin.

"Go to your bathroom and get ready." I replied and headed down to the dining hall when I saw my father.

"You rushed to your room quickly after feeding that pet of yours the boys blood, Why?"

"I needed to get her clean." I replied, it was hard to lie to him. He eyed me up and down.

I heard his growl as he stood slamming his hands on the table. I stepped back in panic. "You're lying to me." He snapped. "A king does not lie!"

I was shaking, anger and fear filled me. "If you do not tell me the truth I am going to sell that pet of yours to a breeder and you can have her back when you get over this phase."

"No I will not have her sent away!" I snapped. I stood my ground, she was mine. She would never leave my side. "Never!"

He growled his eyes growing wide and darkened. "What?!"

"I will not get rid of her. I am standing my ground."

A smile spread across his face. "That's my son."

"W..what?" I stood watching him my mouth agape. "What."

"That is what a king does, they stand for their beliefs even if they know others do not agree." His smile scared me. He was acting strange.

"Father?"

"Sit. Now." He demanded. I sat quickly.

"I know why you ran off, the two of you broke the bed, correct."

I felt my face grow hot. "Father.." His laugh filled the room. "I...Father."

"Son do not lie to me, answer me."

I gulped. I would lose her. "Y..yes father. We did."

He smiled. "Good at least I know it isn't Clarissa you have chosen to bed. Son tell me why you chose her." I cringed at the thought of the vixen in my bed, she was horrid.

"Father I have been obsessed with her since I saw her when I was hunting years ago. She is beautiful, and the women of my dreams."

He smiled. "That's how your mother was for me. She was beauty divine and I needed her in my life." I looked to him, he never spoke of how they met.

"Father, are you finally going to tell me how you and mother met." He straightened his posture and cleared his throat. "Father?"

"Your Mother was human once, I turned her, then the rule was created. If you really want her, I will lift the law."

My eyes grew wide. "Father this is wonderful you will?"

"Yes but I have conditions."

I knew there was a catch. My face fell. "The catch then what is it?"
