Royal love - she become my addiction.

Episode - 10

what the hell is happening, here? - Miss librarian shouted at us. I looked at our position. s**t, we're practically hugging each other. his head is in crook of my neck. my hands tangled in his hairs. 

when did my hands reached to his hairs?  damn it. I quickly pushed him away and got up from the bed. 

umm... Miss. actually, we're doing nothing. I just fell on her while working. - Darrick lied smoothly.

Miss librarian narrowed her eyes at us.

oh really, in this big library,  the only place you found  to fall is on her body. hmm. interesting, isn't it? - Miss librarian asked raising her brows. 

that was just an accident, Mam. - Darrick said looking in her eyes. 

wow, such a great liar. If there is any award for the best liar then, it completely goes to this  bloodsucker. 

hmm and what's that mark on her neck? did a bug bite her? - she asked innocently indicating a love bite on my neck.

holy s**t! a love bite! oh my goodness! 

umm.... I.... it's.... just.... - Darrick started scratching his back in nervousness. 

listen, I understand that at this age, it happens but this is school. people come here to study not to make out. please do all these things outside the school campus. This time, I am leaving you but I don't want you to do this again in school campus. 

we both nodded our head and she left. 

it's all because of you. - I shouted at him throwing draggers through my eyes.

now, don't act like you didn't enjoy it. - he said to me with a smirk plastered on his handsome face. 

what? enjoy what? - I asked crossing my arms and looking deadly in his eyes. 

uh_huh? - he asked wiggling his eyebrow at me making me go all red.

I just threw a book at his face completely annoyed by his behavior.

you devil! - I shouted and threw another book at him. 

You're not a saint either. - he said pulling me closer and whispering in my ear while brushing my earlobe slightly. 

I swear, my breath hitched at the proximity and my heart just skipped a beat. 

I pushed him away before he could do anything. he just chuckled at my reaction and went away.

later I realized that I was going to ignore him. I couldn't even ignore him for a day. 

but one thing is leaving me all confused that why is he behaving like this? Is it a trap or what? is he feeling the mate bond? Is it the mate bond which is pulling us closer? or he's faking it? what the hell is happening? Is he playing with my emotions so that he could kill me easily and suck my blood completely? 

I am so confused. my thoughts are all jumbled up. I can't even think straight. I just wish if I could have the power to read people's mind. at least not people's but this bloodsucker's especially. 

guys, you can go. it's time to leave. I have to close the library now. - Miss librarian said coming to us with a lock in her hand.

we nodded our head and walked outside the library.  I walked ahead with Darrick while Miss librarian followed us to the parking area. 

hey! - Darrick called me nudging me with his elbow while walking beside me.

but I didn't answer him. I just ignored him.

what's your problem? you were all good a while ago. then, what's with this ignoring session again? - he asked with a calm face but I can feel him suppressing his anger. 

I looked behind and saw Miss librarian looking at us only. I just gave her a small smile.

 what's wrong now? - I asked trying to be sound calm. there is no use to ignore him now but I want to maintain my distance.

hey, you got free. let's go to home. - Karl came suddenly and held my hands dragging me towards the car. I can see Karl shooting draggers towards Darrick. I heaved a long sigh. 

I sat in the car and left from there with Karl driving the car. I can see Karl clenching his fists.

hey relax, everything is alright. - I said keeping my hand over his. 

he didn't touch you or anything like that, right? - he asked looking straight at the road. 

Karl, it's my personal matter and I will handle. you don't worry. - I said trying to make him understand.

he heaved a long sigh in response.

okay, if you just want some help in any case, don't forget that your little brother is her for you always. - he said with so much concern in his voice.

I know that, bro. you just don't worry. - I said rubbing his arm while he just smiled in response. 

soon enough we reached home and later, Karl got busy with Sarah, his mate, romancing and all.

Ash get jealous easily looking at the couples romancing in front of her eyes. 

well, right now, I am in my bed thinking about the solution to the problem named Darrick von stein but even after the two hours of my thinking session, I am still standing  at the same place where it all started. 

I got tired lazing around in my bed. so, walked to wards the window. 

what to do? I can't run away from him neither I can ignore him always.- I thought pacing to and fro in the room but nothing good came into my mind. 

what wrong did I do? - I asked looking at the moon in the sky.

even my brain is tired after thinking so much. 

relax, lily - bily. actually, I have an idea. - I heard Ash saying in my mind. 

what? - I asked curiously to know what s**t is actually going through her mind.

I think, we should give him a chance. - she started but I cut her off in the middle. 

what? have you gone mad or what? - I almost shouted at her. 

Is she even in her senses or is she intoxicated with that bloodsucker's thoughts?

Hey, relax. at least, hear me out. - she said in her calm and composed tone. 

okay, fine. just say whatever you want to. - I said and huffed in annoyance at the end. 

hmmm. so, I think, we should give him a chance. just let him do what he want. we will behave nicely with him. just let him believe that we trust him blindly. meanwhile, we will keep a sharp eye on his every movement and observe him to know what's going in his head. if he's really behind our blood, he will try to hurt us for sure. - Ash finished saying all that and I was just amazed at her thoughts. 

that's a great idea but I don't want you to get hurt again. - I said totally concerned about her.

hey, lily bily. don't forget that I am the princess. I am the boos her. - she said with an attitude which makes me laugh out loud. 

I fell in my bed completely tired from all this thinking process. 

I think, I should sleep and even I have to woke up early to continue my practice session. 

good night, Ash. - I said in my tired voice. 

good night to you too, lily - bily. - I heard her replying. 

and in no time, I fell into a deep slumber. 

In the morning - 

I woke up early and went to the forest to practice with my fight master Erick. I bowed down in front of him as a sign of respect. 

Okay. let's start, princess. show me that how much you remember from our last session. -  he said taking his position. 

I too got ready to punch him hard on his face gathering all my strength. 

now. - Erick shouted telling me and I threw a punch at his handsome face as hard as I could at that time. 

wow. that was good, princess but I think, you can do it better. just keep practicing. - he said looking at me while patting my head.

Thank you, sir. - I said bowing down a little like other students did. 

okay. now, I will teach you how to block a punch. okay? - he said and I nodded my head in yes. 

okay, now punch me as fast as you can. - he said and I immediately fisted my hand and threw a punch at him but he held my hand in the middle and then left.

you have to keep your eyes and ears open while fighting. just observe your enemy. think about what could be his next move. you need to save yourself and fight too at the same time. so, you have to be fast. - he said and I found it somewhat true. sometimes, our enemies are different creatures like vampires, who are very fast and witches who know how to read spells. so, you have to be alert all the time no matter what.

the rest of the training session went in the blur as he taught me how to kick someone's a*s and how to block punches. 

right now, I am taking shower since I was smelling like some dead mouse after the training session. I came out of shower and started searching for some clothes. basically, I am not some fashion queen. I look like a nerd more. I covered myself from head to toe because Ash doesn't like revealing clothes and someone lusting over our body. 

so, I grabbed a black jeans and a navy blue shirt. after getting ready, I went down to have breakfast with my sweet family. 

good morning dad. - I said kissing my dad on his left cheek. 

good morning, my princess. - he replied ruffling my hairs. 

Dad! - I whined out. I just made my hairs and he messed it up. 

you look more beautiful in messy hairs. - Dad complimented me trying to make me feel good. 

I know that, dad but cleanliness isn't a bad thing. - I said serving breakfast for myself. 

how's your practice going? - my mother asked suddenly out of blue. 

hmm.. it's good. I learned a lot. - I said stuffing my mouth with delicious pancakes. 

after that, Dad and mom continue to talk about pack works while I just concentrated to keep feeding my poor tummy. 

as always, today's not exception also, I am late again for the school. Isn't my life great? 

uggh..... Mr. Patrick? 

I jumped out of the car quickly and ran to the class. I think, I will break my own world record of reaching school late.

I knocked an the door of the classroom and asked, "may I come in, sir?"

Oh Miss Smith, finally you graced this school with your presence. - he taunted me bowing down a little.

Oh, pleasure is all mine, professor. - I said flashing my charming smile towards him. 

everyone in the class started laughing and Mr. Patrick's face was worth watching.

you know what, your name should be written in the Guinness book of world records, Miss Smith. - he said looking at me with a fake smile. 

wow, professor. even I too think the same. - I asked faking a shocked expression. 

you. - Mr. Patrick fisted his hand and gave me a death glare. 

yes. me, me what? professor? - I asked innocently. 

you. come. in. - Mr. Patrick said gritting his teeth in anger.

I entered in the classroom and found that bloodsucker already sitting there. I sat beside him quietly and opened my book as Mr. Patrick already started the lecture. 

why he is smiling while looking at my face? Am I looking like a joker or was there something on my face?

I wiped my mouth with my hand. there is not even a mirror with me. 

uggh.... 

hey. - he knocked on the cover of the book which was hiding my face. 

holy s**t! what to do, now? 

I didn't removed the cover from my face. 

you're holding the book in wrong way. - saying so, he turned the book in my hands. 

uggh.... so embarrassing.
