"ENOUGH!” My father barked, banging his hand on the arm of his chair. My eyes flickered towards him and suddenly rage coursed through my veins. "Give him the sword! Now!” He barked at the guard closest to him.I still sat on the floor glaring at my father. “No." The oldest council member chimed in as he stood to his feet. My head snapped towards his direction to see a strange flicker in his eyes as he prepared to challenge my father. “Why would you hand the sword of execution over to him when you have clearly declared him unfit?" “Sit down, Alaric.” My father ordered darkly, eyes blazing. “After you give us your explanation." Alaric retorted and a few hums of approval followed. My father, still on his feet, snarled at council member Alaric. "Are you challenging my authority right now?” There was suddenly a look of fear in the council member's face as my father made to step down.“No my King." He finally conceded before sitting back down but I could see he was itching to rebel

My eyes snapped open and a beast-like growl rippled out of me as I jumped to my feet and crouched, ready to attack.My breath became laboured and the image of my hand inside my mother's chest flashed in my head again.I squatted to the floor, held my head with my bloodied hands and let out a painful howl, the blood from my head rolling down the middle of my face and into my eyes. My fangs were still elongated and I had blood dripping from the corner of my wet lips while tears spilled from my eyes. My body began to quake and with shaky hands, I brought my bloodied hands off my head to look at them.These hands…These hands…my lips quivered and I was about to let out another howl of pain when I heard an almost noiseless squeak.My head snapped up and my eyes widened to see more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at me. I jumped to my feet, my head whirling as the memory of where I was came back in.I was in the royal court. I looked at the eyes of the confused council members as the

I sank to the floor, my knuckles peeled and bleeding as my dried eyes stared blankly into the wall ahead of me.Occasional shivers ran through my spine as the forgotten memory from years ago flooded into my head. Suddenly I don't want to live anymore. I jerked at the loud shriek from the other side of the hallway. I saw it in my head before I heard it. Me in this exact position, covering my parted lips as a loud crash followed thereafter.“RUBY NO!" My father hollered. I clapped my hands over my ears to avoid hearing it but my mind kept replaying it along with the sound. Suddenly my eyes widened as another memory flashed through my mind. NO! I shouldn't be afraid, but I felt so gripped by fear that I couldn't get my legs to move. The moment I shut my eyes to accept my fate, I felt myself get thrown through the air and the door crashed open with a loud bang. I hit the stonewall and cried out as the pain rippled through me. I rolled to the floor, my eyes still shut only to fee

With a loud crash, I fell to the floor and blacked out only to feel a tap on my cheek and a deliberately careful voice. “Wake up my Lord." My lids fluttered and I groaned, shaking off the hand on my shoulder. I was suddenly holding on to something and I felt the need not to let go. "You can't keep holding on to her, my Lord. She needs to rest.”I felt my brows tightened as I snuggled deeper into whoever or whatever I was holding on to. “He doesn't want to let go, my King." The voice called out a little too loudly. At that, my eyes snapped open and my neck twisted in time to catch a younger version of my father walking into the room.There was a sudden dull ache in my head as a wave of nausea hit me. I blinked down at what I was clinging onto only to throw myself back and away from her. She looked skeletal, merely trying to drag in air into her lungs. Where was I? I bit my lower lip, not understanding who this sickly woman was. When her eyes slowly opened to look at me, I w

I woke up to the metallic tang of blood in my mouth. Without opening my eyes, I reached out and knocked the goblet out from in front of me. It clattered on the floor, spilling out its content and when my eyes snapped open, my vision was a deep red blurry haze, my fangs thick and almost piercing into my skin. "He has gone feral!” Someone shrieked from the corner only to gurgle afterwards and drop to the floor. Without warning, my body jerked and I ran towards the place where the human slave laid and began to lap up her blood. The taste flooded through my taste bud but for some reason, I couldn't bring myself to enjoy it. This wasn't the flavor I was looking for. I sniffled the air around me and a familiar scent hit me even though it was vague. Making a sudden leap, I latched on to another human slave with the scent, slashed her neck and sank my fang into the open wound.On the first taste of her blood, I jumped back on reflex, a gag rippling through me.That was awful! I palme

My lids opened slowly to the wooden ceiling of my room back in the castle and I shut my eyes immediately, an irritable sigh escaping my lips. “You are up." My father's deep voice made my eyes fly open and I struggled to sit up only to realize that I was strapped to my bed. “Let me go!" I hissed at him, my brows furrowed. My brain felt mushy, like there was something important I was forgetting. “You failed your mission." He said in a firm tone, his legs set apart as he folded his arms to show off his biceps. I frowned and my body went flaccid. What was he talking about? 'Your mission to retrieve the royal ring.’ An unfamiliar voice said in my head and I jerked, the bind biting into my skin at once. My eyes went wide as I looked around frantically, only for my father to walk towards me, place a hand on my shoulder and force my body to go calm."What was that?” I frowned up at him. He frowned back. “What?" “A voice in my head." “The djinn?" What djinn?"Djinn?” I asked hesit
