Are You Real?

{A.N} I am so so so sorry that it has taken this long for me to update. I've just Been extremely busy with preparation for exams and stuff so I do apologise.
I wish I could tell you guys that I will update more often but I can never stick to that and I'd just get even more busy so I wouldn't be expecting a ton of updates anytime soon. Again, SORRY.
I also wanted to thank everyone who has taken their time to read this and would seriously appreciate it if you guys could leave a comment on how you thought the chapter was, or even vote for it, as it's my first time writing a book like this and I'm interested to know what you guys think about it.

Thank you(:

Ethan had never felt so much rage in all he's years of living, never had he felt so betrayed by someone.

His father, Nicholas Rowan, King of vampires, had lied to him for the last time.

"This" Ethan gestured to the documents on the dark oak table in his fathers office "Everything around me reminds me of why I do not want to be king. I leave in the morning, do not try and stop me father"

Nicholas had never meant for his lies to go this far. He'd only ever wanted his only son to take the throne when he passed, but because of him, Ethan did not care for that anymore.

"Your mother died trying to save what our family has passed down for thousands of years, do you really want to throw that away now?"

Ethan could feel his fangs elongating and scratching the flesh of his bottom lip. How dare his father bring his mother into this.

"She died because of you!" His voice boomed across the room "Because you drilled it into her that she shouldn't do anything less than put you first!" He's eyes turned coal black as he slowly rose from the chair "even if that meant dying"

Nicholas turned his head away from the view of his anger filled son.

"What I did, it was for all of us. She knew what she was getting into"

Ethan had heard enough, all his father ever did was lie to him. Within a second Ethan had his father by the throat against the wall.

"MY MOTHER!" Ethan pulled Nicholas from the wall only to shove him back into it.

"YOUR WIFE!" He roared in his fathers face " you fucking killed her you bastard!"

Nicholas had only seen this side to Ethan when his mother passed. He was such a furious boy.

At 17, Ethan wasn't a man, he couldn't handle the death of his mother and carry his title as prince. Nicholas didn't have much else to do than tell him a few lies about his health so he would stay with him.

Of course, Ethan didn't know that his father had practically forced his mother into death with the belief that if she didn't die, then everyone else would.

Ethan was so furious, he turned into a heartless killer. He left his heart with his mothers and shut the world out.

Now at the age of 28 in human years, Ethan was at his prime and Nicholas couldn't let such an opportunity go to waste.

But that was no excuse for his actions now, Nicholas was still king and until he gives up his title, he will always be strongest.

Nicolas kicked his son in the chest sending him flying backward against the wall on the other side of the room.

Using his speed He banged Ethan's had against the now bruised wall and leant in towards his ear.

"You are angry I know, but I am still your king and your father, you will do best to remember that boy"
