The vampire prince's wife.

Chapter 7 The Honey moon.

He hands me an envelope, I open to find pictures of a beautiful little island.

“Your travel bag is packed and ready. Would you like to change before we go?” He asked.

(SOL)

“Am… no, I’ll change when we get there.” I replied.

To be honest I wasn't expecting to go anywhere. I thought we would remain home and spend the night in the castle. It’s not that I’m not happy to see somewhere else, it’s just my whole life the only place I’ve ever known is Doris.

Rye grabs bags after I pack out some personal items into a little carry back I have and we left for the airport. Well their airport.

A lovely gentleman took our lovage and lead us to our seats, before Rye took his seat opposite me he talked to the pilot and then we took off.

It’s my first time flying. Anyone sitting near me or beside me could tell by the way I’m looking out the window and holding onto the chair at the same time.

Taking my time and admiring the stars and the moon I feel his eyes on me. Taking me in, I turn to find his elbows on the table and his chin resting in his hands. My face started burning up and I looked away.

“So tell me, have you ever left Doris?”

He got out of his seat and sat beside me, this is it Sol. You're married now, remember to do whatever it takes to win his heart.

“No, this is my first time.” I let out a little smile.

(Prince Rye.)

“So I did good.” I asked

She nodded and turned away hiding that beautiful smile.

“I’m sorry your wedding got ruined?” He said.

“My wedding? You didn’t want to marry me?” Is that a question or is she just being curious?

“My Love.” She’s looking at me dead in the eyes.

“Darling, precious, Princess, Sol.” She blinked.

“No one can make me do something I don’t have any intentions of doing. I'm Not one to be easily forced into things.”.

“ ohh..” her attention turned back to the window as she looked out at the moon once again.

We landed about thirty minutes later in the beautiful island of Trinidad, and the car took us to our hotel. A beautiful hotel located in the heart of the country.

I order a late dinner for Sol and I before heading into the shower to have a bath, the water temperature is perfect hitting all the right places.

Fighting new bloods never ends well, they are stronger, faster and more energetic. They have a taste for blood and will stop at nothing to get it.

My mind flashes back to Sir Loam and what he said.

“You’ll never know what it’s like to fight for anything, you had everything given to you.”

Little did he know I had nothing given to me, I had to work hard and set an example for my younger brother because of Ministers like Loam.

At the age of Five hundred, father kicked me out and I lived in the out house, my first mission or task if you may call it to show him I am worthy was to collect the blood from the humans.

When we first started out taking blood it was horrible, some humans would slowly poison themselves, some would kill themselves on the spot , others just didn’t show up and we had to track them down because every drop counts.

That was until I came up with the idea of taking blood twice a month, doing medical check ups on the human before taking their blood and drinking it. That way our kind wouldn’t die from different diseases and blood poisoning.

After that the test just kept coming and coming until finally I was brought back and given the title of Prince Rye of Doris.

‘Don’t think of silly things, Rye, enjoy your wedding night.’

Stepping out the shower I dry myself off and put on my dark blue silk pajamas, upon stepping out of the bathroom i find Sol trying to get her zipper down.

I drop my towel into the night stand and walk over to her and move her hair into her shoulder, she’s standing still and I can hear her heart thumping against her chest.

Why is she scared? I'm not going to do anything to her, as long as she doesn’t want me to. Pulling the zipper down careful not to pinch her skin I notice marks across her back. It looks like she’s been whipped, more than once.

I bite my tongue and swallow the question that was rising from the pits of my stomach as I saw her hang her head. What the hell has these people done to her?

“Take those.” I point at the matching dark blue pajama set I got her.

As her dress dropped to the floor I turned in the other direction, as long as she doesn’t want me to do something I wouldn't do it. I keep telling myself that almost as a reminder.

The night went by pretty quickly and before you know it we are both laying on the queen size bed under the blankets, her eyes bright and wide as she plays with her fingernails.

“About tonight..”

“We have to sleep together because they’d come to check the sheets.” She blurted out and I couldn’t help but laugh.

“No Princess, that was ancient times. I was going to say we don’t have to do anything.”

“But it’s our wedding night, don’t you want to..”

“I'll only sleep with you when you're ready until then I'll try my hardest to refrain from..”

“Touching me..” she starts pulling in her thumbs.

“Yes, unless you want me to, I’ll hold your hand and maybe give you a kiss on the cheek when you're a good girl but nothing more.”

“What do you want from me?” The question came out strong, it took me off guard really.

I turn to her and place a kiss in her cheek before looking her in the eyes,

“I want you to be happy, make me happy, I want you to make you smile. But most of all I want you to love me the way I'm going to love you. I will make you a very happy woman Princess, so happy that you wouldn't have to look anywhere else for it. Because I have enough to last you a lifetime.”

“I…”

“You don't have to answer me now my love, just go to sleep. We have a long day ahead of us.” I cut her off from speaking and turned off the night light.

It's not that I don't want her to answer, it's that I don't know how I would take it if she said she can't love me back.

I’ve searched for her for so long, well I think it's her. She looks so much like that little girl.

SOL (pov)

We enjoyed dancing and games with other couples from around the world, I always thought vampires only lived in Doris. That is until u met another couple and the Hotel owner who came to greet us in person.

The first thing on our to do list after break fasis to go zip lining,that's where we bothshocked up to wires and go gliding along a long wire from point a to point b. I’ve never been so scared in my life.

No matter how tight Rye held on to me,Rye on the other hand seemed very much to enjoy the little adrenaline rush, after zip lining, we went sightseeing and now we're sitting in a restaurant having lunch.

We haven't talked much since last night, he isn't acting strange not that I would know I literally just met the man.

“I..” stopping as he took his attention off the ocean. I swallow hard.

“What is it Princess?”

“I don't know how to love someone.” I paused.

The people I love or loved or I thought I did, think I did are all either dead, captured or hurt me in a way I never imagined.

“You’ll know.”

“How.”

“That person would be the only thing on your mind, the only one you want to see smile, the only person you want next to you no matter what time of day it is. You'll know Princess, now stop worrying and eat.”

He picked up a spoonful of beans and fed them to me.

Later that night Rye received an emergency call from his father, something about blood shortage and was asked to return as that's his district.

I'm sitting looking out the window up at the moon once again as he packs his stuff, I offered to lack him but he refused and told me to have a seat.

My mind drifted off to my sister, how is she doing? Is she eating? Drinking? Are they beating her? I don't want to think about it but I have to. After all, all of what I'm doing is to save her.

A knock on the door caught our attention, one of the attendants addressed Rye by ‘Prince’ and told him that our car was ready to depart. He grabbed our bags and my hand and we left for Doris.

I couldn't remember when I fell asleep and when we landed all I remembered was being carried in his arms. In the arms of my husband. Closing my eyes once more I draped my hand around his neck, placed my head on his chest and drifted back to sleep.
