The Immortal's Gift

Chapter 8: 1567

Haven looked through her studies repeatedly. What was she missing? she wondered to herself. She had gone over all the reviews of Nathaniel. She wanted to know if he is the cold-hearted monster, he says he is. She wanted to know if he really killed his mate for the sake of the crown. " Who are you " she whispered as a knock came to the door. " Princess Haven " the guard sounded. " Yes sir, how may I help you this morning? " " Nathaniel has requested you to his chambers " he answered slowly. " ahh the devil himself " She grinned shaking her head. Of course, he would need to speak with her or make more empty threats, she thought to herself. " Well, looks like I'll have to pay him a visit " her face formed a mischievous grin. Before the guard had time to say anything she was gone. She blurred through the hallways towards the east wing of the castle. As Haven appeared in front of Nathaniel's bedroom, she heard a scuffle. " shh, my love you must be quiet " she listened as Nathaniel whispered. " humph " she smiled “and he has the nerve to tell me I cannot know who my mate is " she thought to herself. 

She knocked on the door hesitantly, not wanting to see the events. She cleared her throat " Nathaniel ". He giggled at her " Well why don't you just come right on in; we'll have a party " he grinned. She eyed the blood trailing down his lips and over to the poor w***e who had just fallen for his charms. " Didn't anyone ever tell you not to play with your food " she coaxed looking at the unconscious naked women next to him. " Well then what would be the fun in that " he snickered sarcastically. Haven rolled her eyes and proceeded to an empty chair across from him. " The guards told me you needed to speak with me " her brows raising. " Ah yes. I see you found your mate " Her face turned icy; she was now glaring. " Don't worry beautiful " he spoke now behind her in her ear. " I won't touch your precious Samuel " She turn quick hands on his throat slamming him into the nearest wall. Her eyes turning from an icy blue to shimmering silver ones " Your right, you won’t touch him because if you do " her hand tore through his chest grasping his undead beating heart " I'll rip your heart out and feed on it with no remorse " she finished letting him go watching as he slid to the floor. Just as she turned around, he let out a laugh that echoed off the walls. " You’re so beautiful when you make threats " he chuckled more with amusement. 

Now his hand was around her throat as he looked over her figure in the silky elegant blue dress she was wearing. He could see her hard n*****s through the thin silky layer. His finger traced them all the way back up to her neck. He listened as her heartbeat began to flutter frantically. " I could give you everything " he whispered in ear, her skin tingling under his hot breath. " You are only met to help align our countries " she answered, breath uneven. Nathaniel began to inhale her scent grazing his teeth around her jugular. He wanted more than anything to claim her as his before her mate got the chance to know her, to touch her. " Let me go " she spoke in a sour tone interrupting his thoughts " As you wish " he dropped his hand from her throat and watched as she scurried out the room. Left alone to his own thoughts and fantasies of her once more.

Haven quickly rushed back to her room, observing herself in the mirror. He had grazed her neck with a temporary mark. She screamed breaking the reflection with her fist. " Haven are you alright " Patricia appeared out of nowhere. Haven began to sob slowly falling to the floor. " Your highness " Patricia said trying to understand. " he - he is a - complete ass " she spoke trying to control herself. " Who is, your mate? " " No not my mate I haven't even officially met him yet " she laughed still crying. " Nathaniel, he left a temporary mark " she said showing her neck. Patricia let out a gasp. " I'm so sorry my dear child " she spoke soft pushing Haven's hair back behind her ear observing the mark more closely. " I have some blemish cream that will help cover it right up " she cooed as she quickly left the room and returned. " Thank you Patricia , you were always so kind, even more then my mother ever was to me " " Now miss you know your parent's care for you " she patted Haven's back lightly. " Do they because I cannot tell. As far as I am concerned, they merely had me to unite two nations and to gain more power " she sighed looking down. " How about some of your favorite midnight tea " Patricia smiled. " That would be lovely, thank you again " Haven smiled back as they got off the floor together. " I'll draw you a bath as well m' lady " she bowed. Haven turned to the broken pieces of glass. " Olivia " she called. " Yes, your majesty " she appeared. " Can you please find someone to clean this mess and look into finding me a new one " " Yes, your highness " she answered before scurrying off. " I need to have better control of my temper " she whispered to herself. " Your tea " Patricia came in interrupting her thoughts. " Your bath is ready as well " " Thank you " Haven answered as she sipped the hot tea and began to relax herself.
