The Kings Want Her

Chapter 10

My wrist is chained to the bed and I am struggling with my other hand to release myself from it. I become panic when the door is opens and the devil’s grin greets her first. I try to move further from the bed, but I know there is no way I could save myself while in this condition.

“Hello dear, you look appetizing in that position in my bed. Are you waiting for me to devour yourself?” He chuckles while checking me out.

How did he still be here? Where is James, he promises to keep me safe. James… I start sobbing and keep praying for James to come barging this room any minute now.

He grabs my neck and tilts my head to the side. I am shaking to death when he starts to graze his teeth on my neck, licking to moisture it before he sinks them in my flesh.

“Stop!” I scream my heart out when the sharp pain flows in my skin.

I wake up in an unfamiliar room again. My head is pounding so much from the nightmare.

‘Where am I?’ I hold my head while scanning the entire room. The room is very big enough for one person to sleep in here. There is a huge wardrobe and sofa set which are extravagant looking too.

My clothes changed. I touch the big white shirt that covers my body and sniff it. It smells so intoxicating, like a man who has just finish his shower. I stop myself from taking it far to my wild imagination. I clench my stomach, the growl makes me even hungry.

The door opens and a maid comes in while bringing a tray of food and drink. I swear the smell of whatever food under the lid is tempting my hungry stomach. She puts them on the table beside my bed. My eyes are following her actions till our eyes meet and I look away quickly.

“King Damon has requested me to deliver this food for you after you’re awake. You must be hungry.” She takes the plate and gestures me to take it. I lift my hands and take it gladly.

“Thank you.” So, I end up being in the castle of the mighty king of vampires, Damon.

My memory is trying to recall what had happen before. The last thing I could remember is when the nasty vampire throws me at the tables after taking my blood. Then, I pass out after hearing James calling my name. So many questions in my head. I shouldn’t be here.

“I’m sorry. Do you know James? I come to the King’s ball with him. I’m wondering why I stay here and not at his house.” I look at her demanding answer.

“King Damon takes you in because of your bad condition and treat you here. I am not sure either why Sir James is not with you. Besides, here is your fresh clothes to change. If anything, just find me in the kitchen ok.”

I give her a small smile and thank her before dig in the delicious chicken soup. I finish eating the meal and gulp the juice to quench my thirst. I am full.

I take time to figuring out why James left her here. Maya did say that James is the king right hand. Maybe the king is doing a favor. I walk to the shower and let the cold-water seeps through my body. I let them flows through my skin while my mind is wondering for my fate.

I pump the shower cream and it smells strong. I spread it all over my body hoping it will wash away all the hurts and disgusting assault from the old vampire. I hold my tears until sobs echoes in the bathroom.

‘Is this how I live my life now?’ I sigh.

I walk out from the shower when it feels like a while in it. I dried myself with the fluffy towel and slip in the casual dress that reach my thigh. I let my hair down after drying it and go to the door.

Once I open the door, I step out silently and cautious to find if anyone is around. I walk out from my room to go downstairs. There are many rooms in this palace. How many people live in here actually?

I see there is a room which is its door is slightly open. When my feet reach the room, I could not help myself from being curious and peak inside the room. To my surprise I see two body collides to each other while making out. I gasp loudly and the king’s eyes are now on me.

He pushes the woman right away after noticing my presence. The woman of course glaring her eyes on me for intruding her privacy. Before she could spit her curse on me, I mutter sorry to them and close the door for them. Geez, at least close the door before you do it.

I fasten my steps to the stairs and try to cool my head. My cheeks feel hot after watching them like that. Who would not want that stunning king? I am sure he loves being wrap around women like that. Oh no, am I being jealous? I shake my head and find the maid who sends my food earlier in the kitchen.

“Hello. Do you need any help?” I look at her preparing dishes while taking a seat at the kitchen bar.

“Oh, hello miss Kayla. It’s okay, everything is under control.” She gives me her warm smile.

“What are you cooking anyway? Hmm… it smells like caramel.” I ask her excitedly.

The maid looks at me and chuckles. She takes out something in the fridge and gave it to me in a slice.

“I am making caramel pudding for the dinner. Everyone will be here later so, I will chill these puddings in the fridge for a while. Try it, I hope you like it.” She gestures me to try the mouth-watering pudding.

I take a bit of it and let the taste lingering in my mouth. I take it more of it and devour them happily.

“I need to go upstairs shortly. Just enjoying the pudding okay and I’ll be down with you again.” She put the last pudding in the fridge while looking at me.

“Thank you… err.” I don’t know her name yet.

“Lana. My name is Lana.” She knows that is going in my head. I nod at her before trailing at her going upstairs. Why she seems so rush.

I continue dig in the sweet caramel pudding in front of me. I moan when the pudding slides in my throat.

“You shouldn’t do it often my dear. I’m afraid I’ll lose control over you.” I choke upon hearing the words. My body tense when he stays too close behind me. I did not dare to look at him as I know who he is.

“Look at me.” His firm voice forcing me to turn my body facing him. My face is redden as there is no gaps between us while his face is an inch from me. I couldn’t lift my eyes to meet his.

“I said look at me Kayla!” He snaps when I am still looking away from him.

I bit my lips and breath heavily while my eyes are slowly travelling to his eyes. I clench my fist from trembling under his gaze. His eyes soften looking at me who shows fear for him.

When he lifts his hand to my face, I thought he is going to hit me for making him mad twice. For intruding his privacy and not giving him what he wants. I close my eyes and let out a whimper. Instead of pain, my cheek is caressed by his rough thumb.

I stare at him disbelieving this devil being nice towards her. His eyes darken with lust looking at my parted lips. He kisses them slowly until it changes roughly. His hands make their way under my dress.

“Stop!” I push him hard while screaming hysterically. He looks confused at me behaving like that. I let my tears out and hug myself. I remember him, the way he did that to my body during the ball.

Damon remembered Kayla’s having nightmare about this too. The doctor confirms it saying she was being assault too. I hug her and pat her back while soothing words to her ears.

“I promise you, he won’t hurt you anymore.”
