Lining Up With The Royals(7th Chapter)
*Door opens*
"Change your clothes, pick some fine formal dress"
I didn't even bothered to look at him.
It's been a day after that horrifying incident.
"Hey! are you listening!"
"Why am I gonna follow y..."
"Dont be such a..,Just...!just forget about your old life. Don't ever think about it because you look so stupid. Selene...move on! you're mine now! You have to understand that!"
I'm a bit shocked and at the same time, surprised. It's the first time I've heared my name from his damn mouth.
"Find something to wear, we'll have a ride later."
Then he walks out and closed the door. Ride? what is he thinking?
I done what he said. I searched at my closet that he gave me but there still a few clothes in it. He said not to throw away those clothes. I picked an off shoulders peach dress that nearly reaches the floor with small floral designs all over.
*someones knocking at the door*
"Selene, are you done? Connor is waiting downstairs."
"Yes Ritania, just a second."
I opened the door and I found her in the steps. I gave her my smile making her eyes glow yellow.
She walked beside me until we reach the stair, where Connor's waiting down.
He's staring at me with those melting green eyes. I made my way to him, then he offered his hand for maybe a help or an escort. Whatever it is. I just accept it. His face was always undeniably perfect.
"Youre much prettier today"he said without any emotion.
I dont know what to say. Honestly. Hope I could say these wild admiration to him. I adore his bold but godly features despite the way he treat me.
"So?...where are we going now?"
I first offered the new conversation.
"Mom and Dad heared about the new girl in the castle, so they want to meet you."
What?
Yes, I remembered that it is the first time his parents didn't come to his birthday, so he, himself is the one who will come to the place of his parents.
He led me onto his car and drove it off the woods. Silence wrap the whole damn killer car awkwardly.
It's a long drive before we arrive.
The sun nearly touch the horizon
We are inside the woods. Like, seriously?
"What are we doing here"I asked him.
He just remained silent. We walk some few steps, and I don't know but he chant some words that I don't really understand. Then out of nowhere, we found a stone path that we'd walked through. After minutes of walking in the stone path inside this woods, a giant golden gate with a crowns and 'Diamond Land' embarked on it appeared, where inside is a colossal space, in the middle stood a stunning mansion. We got inside after he chant something before the gates opened.
This place is so huge. There's a few people walking around the castle. All of them bowed when they saw Connor and also smiled when they laid eyes on me.
We stopped in front of the castle, it is actually much huge when you are near, the giant door opened making us step inside. I treasured every corner. It's more than 24 carrat, and much more likely a 55 Cancri E, I have to admit that they are really royalties.
A man walked his direction to us. It's a tall handsome guy. With a gray colored hair and a shining black eye.
"So she's gonna be our new Queen?"The man said.
"Maybe."
The man smiles at me so do I.
We walked in one direction, in a grand staircase that leads to the upper part of the mansion.
"Wheres mom and dad, Austin?"Connor says.
"They're all waiting at the dining, and
you're cousin Joaquin is there too"
"What!?"
He groaned making his eye brows furrowed.
"Yeah, he's interested..."
He cut it himself before looking at me.He just whisper everything on Connor, making me out of place.
"I swear I'll gonna tear him into pieces if he did something terribly wrong."
We stopped in front of the huge door. Austin opened it.
All of the people inside are looking at us. They're in a long and wide table with some fancy expensive looking food.
The beautiful woman with an innocent face and pure black emotionless eyes raised her eyebrow, beside her is a powerful looking man with a silver eyes, they are on the farthest side.
And there are 5 more. 4 teen looking boys and a girl. And surprisingly, I know the girl.
Her black eyes met mine. She's Kyrene, my angelic faced classmate.
I wave my hand on her. And she gave me a short smile.
The man with the slightly long hair is smiling at me. He's so familiar because of his ash eyes and black hair.
I swing my mood into serious mode. The brown haired boy continued his food and looks like he's not interested. He has the blue eyes.
And there was the 2 boys, having the same face. They have both black hair. And have purple eyes. Maybe they are twins. The two looked at Dawson, goes to me and shifting to Connor.
"What are you doing here?"
Connor said while killing Joaquin on his flaming stare.
"Easy cous, I just wan' a know your girl...better."
So he's totally Joaquin, the man I stumbled on that night, my mate he used to say. And the man that turn his ash eyes into red ones inside the woods.
"Get your ass out of here!"
Connor carelessly groaned not minding the people around him.
But Joaquin let out an insulting laugh.
Connor charged at Joaquin and punched him in his face without any sign of hesitation.
He is really that madly furious. Joaquin groaned. His voice wasn't sound humanly. Suddenly he shift into a big animal or should I say Werewolf. My eyes widen because of what I just saw.
Joaquin attacked Connor, but Connor was fast enough to get rid of it. He moves swiftly fast.
Two black suited men entered the scene and took their direction into Connor and they tried to stop him but Connor dodge every hand that lands on him.
It was so confusingly horrifying scene.
Connor just tilted and break the necks of the two, making them stopped quickly land on the precious marble floor lifeless. I can't move. I hold my breath and hold the tears that can drop in any moment.
It was bloody messy.
Out of the blue, the powerful looking man on the farthest side stood up and shout with a powerful and chilling low voice.
"Can't you give us a peaceful dinner you bastards!"And his eyes goes more darker silver.
"Connor, my child stop that. Can't you give your visitor a warm welcome, it's her first time in the mansion."
The innocent woman beside that powerful man said in a calm voice. Making them a mid-aged couple. Maybe Connor's parents.
Connor fixed his clothes and cleaned his hands with a table napkin then nodded. Joaquin shift back into human, but with his torn clothes, he carelessly walk out naked. I immediately look down at my intertwined hands.
The two bloody body is still on the floor.
Connor walk closer to me and grabbed my waist with his right hand, then guided me on the table. He sat beside me while Austin sat in front of me.
"Lily! come here! Clean the mess up."She command the lady who's in her 30-40.
She had a companion. They quickly picked up the bodies and get out the dining.
Joaquin came back with a new clothes. He sat down on his seat not looking at anyone, he just picked up a fork then dugged it on the steak in the gold plate in front of him.
"ahm, so, where you came from?"
Her mom broke the silence. They all look at me except to man with the brown hair who's busy reading.
I raised my eyebrows, asking.
His mom smiles.
"Oh dear you look shocked, Connor, is she already know?"
"Yes"Connor replied emotionless.
"Ok good. May I ask your name lovely young lady?"She said.
I nod.
"Im Selene Gray."
"Ohh, lovely."she said.
Then the man who has a twin cough.
"Oh, by the way, this is Nicko and this is his twin Nickolas, they're my nephew."she pointed at the two.
"And this is Kyrene, my best friend's daughter."
"I already know her"I said.
"Really? how come."She ask.
"She's my classmate."
"Ohh, this world seems so small. And this is Vlad."She pointed at the brown haired boy that's now reading book with his hot looking eye glasses.
"He's a kind of a book person but he's nice and handsome. He's my nephew too"Her mom chuckle.
Vlad just disregard, and resumed minding his own business.
"And this is Joaquin, he's different among us but we still welcome him here in our mansion, he's a werewolf. Her mom was kidnapped by a werewolf, injected her some sort of experimental thing.His mom is my sister. She become a werewolf and married a werewolf. And Joaquin is the only werewolf we accept in our land."
"And actually a perfect traitor"Connor whisper.
Joaquin stared at me with those familiar red eyes. But Connor grabbed my left hand under the table and hold it with his hands painfully. I know what he want me to do.
Maybe Joaquin was the one I used to see inside the woods.
...
After some few questions about me. Connor decided to take a rest after excusing ourselves, we stayed in a room.
"You must not look at him, he's an enemy"
"Im not looking at him."
He raise his eyebrows.
"Well, just—a little stare, but not too long."
I added, before he thinks I'm a liar.
We stared at each other, we are the golden couple. He's the monster and I need him because I don't want to be solo, I can't do things without him. I'm dead without him.
