I was wondering what chapter would this story end.

Erica's POV:

Steven screw you. He took it away from me. I would be lying if I said I didn't like it.

Oh shit! My mind is also screwed up. The more he tries the more his effect works on me. His tricks are working on me. All his tricks are working on me.

I quickly rushed to the room to see the girls already there. Shit! Bad timing.

"Erica why is yuh face red?" Questioned Rosa.

Why can't they all mind their business?

"Not only that." Lisa observed.

"Her lips are swollen." Linda stated the obvious.

Heaven why all this?

"Who kissed you?" Questioned Sonia with an amusing smile.

"Was it Sire." Sia screamed with joy.

Without answering any of their questions I rushed into the bathroom and locked it preventing the girls to get in.

"Erica step out and tell us how it happened." Linda ordered as I could feel the devilish smile on her face from the other side.

No they all had that smile on their faces. I could feel it.

I was feeling hot inside of me. My body was feeling soo hot. My face was really hot and also in between my legs.

What the hell? What does this feeling mean. My tummy twisted in a sweet way.
Heavens help me. I'm about to loose it.

I quickly splashed water on my face to get my mind together. Thanks heavens it did work.

I spent some hours in the bathroom before stepping out to see the girls sitting on the bed waiting for me.

This girls are soo insane.

I sat down on my bed facing them.

"Sire's romantic gesture towards you shows how much he loves you." Linda spoke out first.

"He doesn't." I declined.

"Erica we want you to be his woman," said Sonia.

"Stop talking nonsense."

"No you should stop your nonsense. Why can't you at least treat him with love and kindness. He's sorry for what he did to you. Sire regrets his actions why can't you give him a chance." Rosa asked.

"I did."

"So why are you holding back?" Lisa questioned.

"I don't know." I confusedly answered.

Seriously I was confused.

"Just let him in," Sia lastly said.

It's easier said than done. Because a lot of things are holding me back.

🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼

All day I tried avoiding Steven by not stepping out of my room. I'm so embarrassed to see him.

What is there to me embarrassed about?

Okay I'm soo... what word should I use. Lets say Shy?

No I can't be shy because of a stupid kiss. Jeez why am I even thinking about it?

Steven what have you done to my innocent mind. My mind was now thinking about him. My brain cells was clouded with Steven.

His kiss.
His smile.
His laugh.
His chuckles.
His humor, actually an annoying one.
His eyes.
His stupid romantic gesture. Jeez.
His body posture, especially the way he carries himself.
His everything.

Was clouded in this head of mine.
Am I having feelings for him.
No it just can't be.
I can't have feelings for a vampire specie. Impossible.

"For Christ sake, ERICA." Someone with a familiar voice yelled my name.

I swiftly got up from the bed anxiously, to see it was Linda who yelled my name.

"Yeah."

"Where did your little consciousness go to?" She questioned being annoyed a little.

But I didn't answer her question.

"Sire calls for you. Hurry to his study room." She told me still having a frown.

I'm wondering what annoyed her.

"Okay." I answered bluntly leaving the room heading to Steven study room.

I knocked on the door before entering.

"Yes Sire."

He had a smug smile on his face and said. "I'm bored Erica, come entertain me."

"Seriously." I answered being... I don't know annoyed, irritated and confused.

"You heard me right."

"How about I get a rope and hang you alive under an apple tree." I replied giving him a wicked smirk.

"That's not romantic at all." He pouted slumping on his chair.

I just shrugged caring less.

"What do you wanna do?" He questioned staring at me carefully and eying me up and down with his perverted eyes.

"Why don't I shove a spoon into yuh eyes. How about that?" I asked smiling at my sweet reply.

He chuckled while shaking his head enjoying my presence.

"Erica come here," he said it causally.

I gently worked up to him and stood beside him. He quickly wrapped his hand around my waist and raised me up to sit on his desk in front of him.

"I know you're still annoyed about yesterday but I've got to claim what's mine." He told me laying his head on my lap.

Seriously... what's with him and claiming me as his. I wasn't annoyed anymore, I said nothing and saw myself stroking and caressing his hair.

I caressed his hair and scattered it the and caressed it once again. When I stopped I could feel a frown formed on his face, as a smile crawled up to my own face

"Come on Rica continue with what yuh doing. I love it." He whined wrapping his arm around my waist.

He's such a baby. I continued to caress his hair staring down at him. I like the fact that he wants me, the fact he see me more than just a human, a human he wants so dearly but I've got to end yuh pretty life Steven.

I've got to kill you.

I picked a liking to the texture of his brown nut meg hair as I started picking on it lightly.

"I'm very sure you picked most features from yuh dear mother?" I blurted not knowing why I asked such.

"Absolutely. While my sister is more like my dearest father." He added as a small smile formed on his face. "King Ronald was a king my people cherished." He continued to say.

The name king Ronald flashed into my mind. I could remember when I was just 7 mother did fancied that name. When she called that name her eyes where filled with admiration.

In seconds I recalled the last time I went to the royal library, there was an apologic letter which had my mum name writtened on it.

Suddenly curiosity settled in. What connection does my mother have with The Eternal Kingdom? What connection does she have with late king Ronald and what's the mystery of her name written in an apologic letter? I want to know.

I patted Steven's head. "That's the soothing feeling," he said enjoying the comfort I was giving him. His reply did made me smile.

"Steven."

"Yeah."

"You said you wanted us to do something together?"

"Yes I did."

"Let's go to the library."

"Why?" He asked raising his head up to look at me.

"That's what I wanna do." I almost nagged.

"Okay darling anything for yuh," he said moving his chair backwards and stood up placing a peck on my cheek.

What's with this man? He held my wrist lightly dragging me out of his study room heading towards the library.

We got there as he immediately stood in front of the huge image I saw when I came here. He smiled at it and picked up the blanket and covered it.

He walked up to the door and unlocked the door with the key which was still at the door lock the last time I came here.

The door opened with a creak sound as the candle by the left counter lightented up again. I was still terrified  after what happened the last time I stepped my legs here.

Steven got in waiting for I to do so. I stared at him trying to hide the fear in my eyes.

"Step in, I'm here nothing would happen to yuh." He awares as I entered into the room having that same feeling of anxiety.

He quickly walked up to where I suppose the window should be and  spread open the window curtain as light brightened the room. He walked to another corner of the room and did same with the window curtains which brightened the room more.

Suddenly the candles turned off by itselves. That was definitely strange but I didn't questioned about it. My eyes danced around the library noticing It was very large.

Book shelves reached up to the ceiling. The mabled tiles was so unique for a vampire taste. There were couches all around the library. There was even a large piano in the room. And I quickly noticed that middle table.

"This was one of my favourite place when my mother was still alive." He told me with a smile as his face showed off more emotion I never knew he had. "But hearing about her death, it killed everything in me," he said softly as tears filled his eyes.

I just stared at him not knowing what to say. I felt really sad because I had no soothing words for him. A broken soul can't calm another broken soul.

The next word that came out of my mouth was, "Who killed her?"

"Your kind." He gave a blunt reply as anger filled his eyes and his hand folded into a fist.

"More reasons why we can't be together." I muttered out mindlessly with a smile. A smile of pain.

A part of me wanted to be with him but we just can't.

"I don't give a fuck Rica."

His reply shocked me to the core as I stared at him still not knowing what to say.

"I do give a fuck. Because you kind didn't have mercy on my mum too." I told him with rigid expression.

He stared at with shock. "I knew nothing about such."

"You don't need to. As long as your kind despise mine we also brutally do." I told him with a stern voice.

"But I don't. We could work this out." He replied softly striding towards me and held both of my hand in his.

"There's nothing to work on." I told him snatching my hands from his hold.

I walked up to the center table and saw that same message of apology to my mum.

I stared at it for some minutes. "What connection does your father have with my mother?" I asked raising the letter up.

"You mother was my dad first mate. My father fell in love with your mother." He told me staring intensively into my eyes making me uncomfortable.

"What happened?" My curiosity slipped in.

"Grandfather disapproved their marriage."

"Why?"

"Because he wanted my dad to marry his own kind. He wanted his grandchildren to be a pure breed not some weak hybrid." He stopped talking and stared into the ceiling for some minutes. "Grandmother was in support with my father being engaged with your mother because she believed there would be peace between two species but Grandfather brutally disagreed."

"How did your father get to know my mother?"

"She was a maiden who served in this castle." He quickly answered.

"After your Grandfather disapproved their marriage, what then happened?"

"He had no other choice but to get married to my mother because he was the heir to the throne of Eternal Kingdom. At everything he loved my mother dearly"

Steven closed his eyes for some seconds and continued "According to my father your mother didn't do any harm to their marriage and wished them a happy marital life. My mother was fund of your mother. They were close friends back then."

"There was this kinsman who was close to my grandfather and my dad. Your mother never liked him. And they were always in bad terms. A sudden night my father left his study heading to his room to meet my mother only to see she was stabbed by a poisonous knife which kills vampires instantly. My father rushed to her aid and asked her who did such to her and she managed to spill out yuh mother, named Melinda."

"No she would never." I defended my mother knowing what a soft and kind soul she was. My body started to shake in fear with an unaware fear.

"My father couldn't believe such and asked her once again and she spilled out your mother's name twice before she lost her breath," he said tears dripping from his eyes. "That was how I lost my dear mother."

I could feel rage in his eyes not just that also hurt evident in those blue hazel eyes of his. I squeezed my hip as my maiden dress scrumbled in my hands in anger.

"My mother would never do such. That's all wrong accusation." I almost yelled at him.

"My father kept shouting NO while he sat on the floor as my mother's dead body laid on him. My grandfather and his kinsman stepped in to see my mother was already dead," he said now staring back at me.

"My mother will do no such thing." I kept denying staring death into his eyes. Suddenly Steven became rigid.

"Your mother would do no such thing?" He questioned back trying to keep his voice down as I could feel hurt in his voice but I didn't reply.

"Guards rushed to your mother's dorm and told her to open her locked door but she didn't after lot of attempts the guards kicked the door open to see your own mother trying to wash out her bloody hands in anxiety. The guards dragged her before my grandfather and my father and asked her why she did such but she denied she didn't. There was no way she could defend herself because her hands were covered with my mother's blood."

"I say once again my mother will never do such." I yelled at him and stride towards him now holding his collar in full anger.

"Erica..." he also vented on me. "She did."

"If she did then why would your father apologies? Why the hell would he write this apology letter to her.?"

"I don't understand either." He answered now staring at me softly.

I let go of his collar also staring at him with warm eyes, not understanding either I quickly hugged him as he did same tightly not wanting to let me go.

"My mother would never." I cried in his embrace reassuring him as I felt some how safe and warm in his embrace. "Something is off about this whole story."

"My father felt same too. He spared your mothers life and I didn't really understand why?"
