The Kings Blood Calling

A third wife

Angelo's pov.

Grabbing Katherine's chin roughly I glare my hatred into her eyes as I thrust my c**k angrily inside her. Her face distorted in pain as she whimpers probably wanting mercy. I spill my seed into her begging passage and speak low through my clenched teeth.

"Get yourself in a nice formal dress. Father will crown us tonight." I remove myself from her body disgusted with myself for having to nut in her to cease her overbearing jealousy and begging to give me a son.

She will push me beyond pissed off till I give her what she wants. I can't even look at her as I dress and leave her chambers. Quickly I dart to mine for I must rid myself from her stanch. Every since Annarose became my blood caller Katherine or any woman doesn't appeal to me or even smell right to my scences.

Stankey they are. I don't like stankey or want any stankey! No thank you, please.

I quickly wash and dress in my best formal wear I know father and many kings will follow for this crowning. 

Their wives and daughters and sons probably most have already arrived I've been too preoccupied to pay any attention. My wives keep my mind plenty occupied. One with drama one with keeping alive for both our sakes. Then my children and now a whole palace to run along with my men until my son comes of age. Whew! 

I flash to Annarose's chamber I must make sure she is fine our calling has me constantly worried for her and wanting to stay by her side. I quickly go inside and she looks to be having some sort of nightmare startling me. 

I shake her shoulder lightly. 

"Annarose baby wake up," I tell her softly not being able to let her ride out her nightmare for it already eats at me that she is upset. She starts to stir awake making me smile stiffly. Her beautiful eyes flutter open to look at me. Her eyebrows furrow in confusion.

"I was scared they would kill me once I was surrounded. I felt so stupid for running in alone. I could have killed us both." She whispers painfully like it breaks her heart to even speak of such things. I shake my head and kiss her forehead letting it linger then letting my head rest on hers keeping eye contact.

"You did worry me. You won't have to be involved in any more war battles baby I won't allow it." She nods leaning in to kiss my lips which I take over deepening the kiss until she's panting. Letting her lips go I graze her cheek softly with my knuckles looking at all of her face with pure unadulterated love. 

"I will be crowned king here in a bit will you be able to join me?" I ask softly looking back into her eyes waiting patiently. She swallows hard and I start to get ansy with her not speaking. She looks down and nods.

"I want your words baby tell me if you don't wish to come but I would like both my wives by my side," I speak gently lifting her chin I tell her my honest heart's desires.

"If I could I'd crown you myself today you know this right." Seconds go by before she nods making me think she doubts my words.

"You doubt me," It came out lower than I intended but it hurt deep down. Her eyes widened slightly.

"No, I don't want to talk about it is all. I can never be your queen it is what it is. I just don't like my title as second wife it's lowly to Katherine." She says looking down again. I release her chin.

"I understand. Please get dressed I will send someone up to help you. I'll be waiting for you at the bottom of the stairs with our son and Katie." I kiss her head as she nods. 

"Good," I smile widely with my happiness at her agreeing to be there with me even if I cant crown her as my queen.

I get up and stride to the door opening it looking back at my other half knowing from the look in her eye she's sad she's hurt and I have to clutch my chest as I take my leave. Standing outside her door I hurt as well. I touch the door with my palm as I smell her silent tears. Closing my eyes tightly wishing I could give her so much more in this life. 

Turning I flash to get a maiden to assist my wife in being ready for tonight's events. 

"Go assist princess Annarose in getting ready for tonight's events," I instruct the maiden. She nods and scurries off already knowing I can't stand to talk to anyone other than my own blood and family.

Quickly I dart to the nursery and instruct them of tonight's events and to prepare the children than bring them out. It's important that my children make an appearance. Letting those who respect and follow my lead in the future be acquainted with our children. For they will rule in my place one such day.

My daughter will be betrothed to marry a future king. My son I hope to maybe with having more children be able to allow him to choose a woman of his own liking to one day marry.

I stride to the stairs taking my time for my wives will have a lot to put on for tonight's event. I stand patiently waiting as I see the nursemaids come out each carrying a child and stepping behind me. Turning I look them over to make sure they were prepared properly for our event and there could be no cuter prince and princess in their royal clothing than that of mine tonight I'm sure of it. 

My children are beautiful indeed. I kiss each of their little heads and fill my heart whole with them near and return facing forward waiting for my wives. Shortly Katherine descends the stairs. She looks elegant her hair more curled than usual. She has a smile plastered to her face. I'm sure she has long awaited this day as many in our position. As she approaches closer I offer a hand and she takes it to descend the last three steps before me.

"You look fit for a queen," I mumble upon looking into her eyes. She smiles radiantly with happiness I haven't seen in her in weeks then slightly bows to me. A strained smile is all I can muster. My inner monster says she is not my queen but my mind knows different she is in fact either liked or not my one and only queen.

"Should we get going?" She asks. I furrow my eyebrows at her question like she doesn't know why we are still standing here. 

Moments later my Annarose starts to descend the stairs towards us. Time all together just slows as I watch in complete awe of the beauty that slowly comes my way. Nothing has ever been more beautiful to me in my whole existence. The light purple gown flowing magnificently with her skin tone Her hair long in beautiful waves that bounce with each step. Her scent overtaking all my rational mind.

Her smile enchants me and I can't help but smile widely being so proud to show all tonight this woman is mine. maybe not my queen but she's way more than that title for me. Only she has my heart.

I help her descend the last of the stairs and kiss her cheek to whisper in her ear.

"Breathtaking as always you enchant me my love," The rose color her face turns when I lean back to lock gazes makes my heart flutter. I offer an arm to both my wives. It going unnoticed Katherine's dislike for us to walk all in together. I care not. 

The doors are open before us as we walk gracefully into the huge throne room full of all kinds of nobles, kings, princesses, and future kings. My only nagging being my queen should be Annarose as we walk the carpet to our destiny. I can't change fate only accept it.

My father stands to the right of the throne chairs my mother on his left both holding crowns upon pillows. Taking my seat Katherine takes her's as well smiling to all. Annarose stands slightly behind me our sons maiden beside her and Katherine daughters maiden slightly behind Katherine. My father takes his steps before me. I take a huge breath knowing today changes everything.

"Stand before me, my son." I stand as someone places a huge red cloak around my shoulders. The King's staff with a huge red ruby shrouded around gold placed in my left hand and the scroll for our bloodline of kings places in my right. Lastly, my father placing his crown upon my head making me now King Angelo of the royal eastern palace. 

"I now give you the King of eastern royal palace King Angelo. Long live the King!" Long live the king everyone says in unison after his words making it final. Everyone then bows to me they're now king of this realm. 

My mother walks to stand before Katherine but not before giving me a strange look I chose to ignore. My father taking a stand now with the crowd before us.

"Stand before me." My mother demands Katherine and she does without a second hesitation. Like me, she is cloaked in a royal red cloak that drags the floor a small golden staff placed in her right hand, and a scroll of Queens before her placed in her left. My mother placing the crown of queens upon her head. 

"I now give you you the queen of eastern royal palace Queen Katherine. Long live the Queen!" My mother says to the crowd gathered before us. In unison Long live the queen is spoken by all except me. I can't seem to get the words to pass my lips before all too quickly it's over and we take our seat still holding staffs and scrolls. All bowing before us in respects for our title and stations.

We greet many Kings and their wives but all I can remember are the lustful gazes given to my second wife or the lingering kisses placed upon her hand even all their compliments to her. Of course the same is given to Katherine but most not truly sincere. She was never a rare beauty or much to envy other than titles born to her.

All night I slightly fume in how many necks I want to snap and ring for touching my wife I'm sure the blood calling doesn't help but her being my second wife they don't have to acknowledge her but insist on doing so and sparking conversation with her to hear her voice I imagine. 

My last straw being when she is asked to accompany a price for a dance.

"Would you please do me the extreme honors of dancing with me princess?" Before she can even answer I've already vented anger and shown full possessiveness over her in less than no second!

"She will do no such thing. It would be in your best interest along with many others not to touch my wife." I fume lowly through clenched teeth and a ticking jaw. However low it may be it didn't escape many who look startled at my sudden violent snap.

No matter her title to them, she remains in high regards to me. My father smiles in amusement striding towards me with a king I'm slightly familiar with. King Darcy from Evergreen palace. 

"Son, you've met King Darcy before am I right?" I nod in acknowledgment. 

"King Angelo it is an honor to be here on such a day to bare witness to such history and to have seen the man you have become." King Darcy praises us. I nod.

"Thanks for your attendance," I speak casually.

"I have a proposal for you one should quite like." He states as if my life should depend upon it. My eyebrows rise in question pledged with curiosity as my father has no readable expression upon his good featured face.

"What might this proposal be King Darcy?" I speak low uninterested as his small smirk grows and widens.

"My daughter Evlen will be of age to marry in six months and she will need a suiter for hers I'm afraid won't be available much longer due to circumstances." He states.

"Why would I need another wife King Darcy I have two and a son." I throw the facts. I don't have a need nor want for any more wives and Annarose's gasp of surprise didn't escape me unnoticed either. Nor the fact we now have many curious onlookers. Even Katherines attention is fully invested not that I care for her opinion.

"Son let's further discuss this tomorrow at my crowning for council, shall we. This marriage proposal is for future investment of sorts and shalt not be denied." His words anger me causing me to stand. I look to Annarose.

"I'm leaving come." She nods hurrying to my side. I turn to my son and daughter's nurse maidens signaling for their departure of this gathering as well. I have to just get out of here before I blow a top and say something that will forever damn us all.

Damn my father and his tricks upon me. I will one day make him pay for all these games he plays with my life!
