I gasped and inhaled deeply. my eyes wide with fear, I could feel the oxygen flooding in and out of my lungs. I wiped the sweat from my forehead with a trembling hand. I hesitantly looked up at him, and my heart almost stopped beating. The sadistic smile on his face was one of pure pride and happiness.

"Now, Now don't look at me like that Lady Fiona. Am just a man fighting for his future. Am sure you can understand why my father and I had to keep this little piece of information from you. We can't have you ruining my chance of having a true blood-mate."

I instantly turned around and looked at Carina, I knew she'd hate me for the rest of her life for this. How could I be so stupid,? how could I not see this coming?

 " You and your father Deceived me, You never said anything about turning my daughter into a vampire! you can't do this to her!" I spat, anger taking a hold of me. He just smirked and laid back on his throne relaxed and content.

" Oh, but I can do this, You see Lady Fiona...you made the deal with my father, Not I. I will, however, make Carina my bride, and she won't just be my bride. She'll be my queen and the mother of my offsprings, with or without her consent, SHE WILL BE MINE!!" he finished the last sentence with a smug confident smile.

I gawked at him, mouth wide open. I didn't even blink for almost 40 seconds. How can someone be so confident, He spoke casually like we were discussing the weather. He suddenly seemed to be in a good mood, which I found frightening. both him and his father manipulated me and twisted my words, in my most vulnerable state I could never forgive them for that, EVER!

"Am sure it will all turn out, to be great Lady Fiona. After all, we are a family now. So let's celebrate. bring me my bride, and you shall finally receive your freedom; along with the many rewards, that come with being my future queen's mother".

Kaizel Radomir was as ruthless and sadistic, like his father. The only time he ever showed anything that resembled an emotion was whenever he'd spy on Carina through the skull seer. One thing I knew for sure despite everything he tries was, Carina would never return his affections, let alone birth his children.

" I cannot bring Carina to you, she and I don't exactly have the best relationship. if you wish to claim carina, you need to leave your palace life behind and rejoin the human civilization once again. Get her to fall for you, or else you won't succeed in claiming her. Carina can be very stubborn and childish sometimes" I explained, as I avoided his gaze and looked everywhere but him

I lowered my head in shame, despite believing that I was doing everything for Carina's sake. I knew I couldn't fool him because deep down I'd be lying if I said I didn't want that good life. After all, I was criminal and sinner, the worst kind. and without him and his island protection. I would have been hunted down by the witch hunters or killed by the council by now. I was about to disconnect the call when he suddenly asked

" Did she by any chance, kill that human? I couldn't help, but notice her deep affections for the boy. It will be quite easy to seduce her while she's in that vulnerable state, heartbroken and all"

He wondered, with an arrogant smirk on his face. I didn't get a chance to answer his question before, he interrupted rudely by saying

" but then again if she does not choose to obey and love me as her rightful blood-mate. I can always kill the boy in front of her. That will teach her some manners."

He spoke with such arrogance, That a part of me was a little happy inside knowing, that Carina will drive him absolutely mad. if he thinks, even for a second, that forcing Carina to obey will his will be easy, then he obviously had another thing coming his way.
