Canopy of abyss

CHAPTER ten

" you sure you don't want to pick that dress?" A lady who I later found out was Matt's beloved asked me for the hundredth time.

After dinner, Xavier decided to take me shopping also accompanied by.. what was her name again?

Marla! That's right. Matt's beloved is Marla.

When I asked why I needed to shop, I was told that as King Tristan's pet I needed to be well dressed for the ball which was unfortunately, tomorrow.

It was strange that I was being treated not as a slave or a pet. What's even more strange was the fact that Tristan's brothers seems to be nice to me. Not that I'm complaining, but it was just odd.

Back to the present. I shook my head for the hundredth time.

" I don't like it. It looks to tight and I don't like the color." I hated the outfit.

Marla sighed.

" Come on, we're at the tenth shop and you still haven't found anything?" Xavier whined and I have to do my best not to gape. I mean seriously are these people vampires or not? They are supposed to be threatening me to hurry up.

" I have the perfect place for you, follow me." Marla suddenly said with excitement laced through her voice.

We walked into a shop that has all kinds of gowns hanging. I looked around noting how beautiful they all looked.

Marla dragged me to a hanger and handed me a gown.

It was very beautiful. It was a golden coloured gown.It had a slit. I felt the material and it was so soft. Seeing the gown I realised I couldn't even describe it because breathless couldn't even count.

I was still looking at the gown until I heard a whiny voice behind me.

" Come on, you are taking forever and stop staring just start wearing." Xavier concluded with an obnoxiously dramatic sigh.

I rolled my eyes and took the gown to go try it on.

When I came out of the dressing room that has no mirror might I add, I looked at them to gauge their reaction. Marla had a shocked expression and Xavier had a blank expression.

"Well?" I asked nervously. I don't know why I was nervous, don't ask me.

" Don't you dare take it off! This dress was made for you!" Marla exclaimed.

Well I wasn't expecting how loud she had sounded but I still nodded a thanks.

"You look pretty. Now can we get the heels then go?" Xavier asked impatiently.

We ignored him and started checking for heels. Few minutes later, okay after an hour we decided to get the hell out before Xavier kills the shop owner out of boredom. I wondered why he decided to trail along if he knew he would be bored.

" So, can I help you with your make up and hair tomorrow?" Marla asked.

" That would be nice. I know nothing about those things." I offered a smile.

If it was left to me, I would definitely go bare and maybe leave my hair as it is. Because I can't make up to save my life.

" Then I think you should come dress up in me and Matt's quarter" she said excitedly.

" Umm. Okay?" It was still weird, how friendly she was towards me.

We got to the castle and Marla scurried over to her beloved with a big smile on her face immediately she saw him.

It was a nice sight to see as they hugged and kissed as if they haven't seen each other in hundreds of years now. I didn't want to seem like a weirdo who stares at two people displaying affection so I decided to continue my journey to King Tristan's quarter. Oh and Xavier ran off the second he got the chance to.

I was admiring the beautiful dark castle when I collided with a body and seconds later, found myself on the floor.

In a romantic novel, the girl always collide with the guy she would fall in love with.

Well..

" Watch where you are going pet." A girl's voice snap at me.

I stood up and glared at her, that's when I noticed who she was. Silvia, the head of pets.

She looked different from the first time I saw her. She looked more pale and beautiful. It was like her features were more highlighted. Her eyes were Sharp, lips red probably from the make up she dawn on her face and how could I forget the nose which is always up like she is better than everyone.

"You, watch where you are going stick nose." I snapped back.

" What did you just say?, Did you talk back at me slave?" She sneer coming closer.

" Oh you heard me loud and clear honey or are your ears also faulty too?" I gave her a sweet smile standing my ground. I was taller than her so i decided could intimidate her.

"I am Silvia." She scowled and I looked at her amused.

" So.. let me guess. You forgot your name or you are trying to introduce yourself?" I said tapping my chin in fake thought.

" I will make sure you get punished or killed, you just wait and see." She threatened with an ugly expression.

I think she could not order my punishment since I already had a master so I rolled my eyes and walked away leaving her seething.

Tristan's pov

"So the werewolves king would be arriving tomorrow with his mate and some of his pack warriors." My attention was caught and one of my eyebrow rose lazily as Nick relayed this information to me and the vampire lords in attendance.

" His pack warriors?" One of the lords asked chuckling while the others looked amused.

" Yes lord Karl, our warriors are prepared for anything. Anyway, the head of the council is also coming tomorrow." Nick said this time staring directly at me.

" What do you mean coming tomorrow? Why does he need to be in attendance?" Lord Mason scowled at Nick.

" Isn't that meant to spoil the whole purpose of the ball?" Lord Collins asked also staring at me. The whole fucking room was staring at me.

I sighed loudly and stood up from my throne. These morons ain't even afraid of the head of the council nor have they ever done anything that the council commanded.

The council was a group of four vampires including my father. They're all bunch of old, tight assed vampires. They think they're higher than the King and I'm too lazy to correct them.

"Let's prepare for war tomorrow from both the council and the werewolves." With that little instructions I gave, I walked out of the throne room.

My monster has been giving me a hard time ever since it felt her presence in my quarter. It wanted to be close to the pet. She was cute and amusing. I tried walking slowly but with my monster misbehaving, of course I had to speed to my quarter.

I perceived her lovely scent that always does things to me. My monster wanted to run wild and snatch control from me. It wanted to bite into her soft neck and taste the essence of her being.

I noticed the quarter was empty apart from the sweet voice coming from the bathroom. I decided to sit and enjoy the song when I heard the shower being off. The door opened to reveal a dark blonde strips and brown hair and a towel that revealed almost all. Her grey eyes wide and cheeks flushed. Just as she started to turn back maybe to scurry into the bathroom, she slipped and the grip she had on the towel loosened. I caught her before she could hit the floor. My hands was on a soft flesh that got a part of me hard. I looked at where my hands were and realized one was behind her and the other, on her breast. My still heart started beating for five seconds and just then I realized I was fucked
