The Human Bride

Chapter 5

Mikhail left Noah in Rosalind's' room so they could bond and become friends, he knew that neither of them really had any friends so he thought it would be good for them. He walked down the grand staircase to the main entrance hall which is a magnificent structure with grey marble pillars and pristine ebony and ivory features on the dark red walls. He turned left towards the dining hall which held a long table that sat up to 28 people the floor was the same throughout the house- a shiny reddish looking wood, the wall was an off white that looked more yellow than white, the dining room looked grand with its high ceilings and a large window that covered most the wall on the right-hand side of the room. He walked straight through to the mahogany double door at the far side of the room, pushing them open he found Natasha with her greying hair pinned up in a bun leaning over a chopping board cutting and slicing onions, carrots and red pepper for lunch. Natasha slammed the knife that she was using on the chopping board, making Mikhail flinch, she walked towards him with an angry look on her face. Her mouth scrunched up and eyebrows furrowed as walked over to him and then stopped about a foot and a half in front of him with her hands on her hips

"Where the hell were you this morning? And where was the girl you bought here for me to train? She needs to be assessed and feed up we cannot have a Nobel or a potential royals breeder underweight and malnourished, now can we?" Natasha said with a slight fraction of anger in her voice

"Did she not come down this morning?" Mikhail asked frowning

"No!" Natasha explained, "she didn't!" Natasha turned around and walked to the large stove in the corner of the kitchen and set it alight.

"Anyways, why do you think that she is going to be a Nobel or royals breeder?" Mikhail asked walking over to the work surface and pushing himself up on top it and he lent over and picked up a carrot piece and popped it into his mouth

"Well her level of RH228 but also what you told me about her blood type which if I remember correctly is AB-" she looked over at Mikhail and he just blinked and nodded "however because of the colour of her hair I do believe she will be in high demand, don't you?"

"I guess," he said shrugging, he then slid down of the work surface and walked toward the door to leave but before he could walk out of the room

"Oh and before I forget your brother sent a letter, he will be here by the end of the week," Natasha said with a smirk and Mikhail almost fainted with surprise

"How come?" Mikhail said turning round

"He heard about our little stowaway and is coming to question you about why you did it, however, that's not the excuse he used apparently he is looking for a breeder but also his beloved hoping that he will find them soon apparently his beast is going awry looking for her, I think it will be a good thing. If she is his beloved we not only educate her on being a breeder but also a queen and a mother" Mikhail's expression darkened at the thought of her being bonded with his brother and not wanting that to happen purely for that his brother was a beast. In the last two years he has had 12 pleasure pets and 20 or more blood pets and all of which was found dismembered or severely hurt and then transported to stock makers to be pumped with human sperm and give birth to the next generation of pets "you know Mikie, he can't hurt her if she was made for him or at least going to give him heirs and children and she physically has to be pristine and mentally fit to be able to raise the next generation of royalty" Natasha explained. Mikhail huffed and hung his head, nodding he walked out of the room and slammed the door.

Natasha finished up the soup and began to make the bread rolls. She began to knead the dough before placing it in the oven to cook. She began to think back to her conversation with her best friends youngest son, she knew why he was so attached to the young girl and she was certain that it was because of the connection to Theodeus but doesn't know how they are connected. She is assuming that little Rosie is the future queen to the vampire race. She seriously hoped so, the young king needs someone to be his anchor that calms him when needed and to support him.

Noah and Rosalind were both called down to the dining hall by Soren, who Rosalind found out was Natashas' great-grandson. Who was, in Rosie's opinion, was very handsome. His blond hair lay on top of his head in a messy mop, a smile was permanently plastered on his face showing off his row of sharp teeth. This confused Rosalind because she had never once in her young life seen a creature with teeth like that.

Rosalind was in awe of the house that she was in. The ceilings were incredibly high and the marble pillars in the entrance hall and the immaculate vanish on the wood floors. She turned to Soren and said in a cheery tone "When was the house built?"

"It was built almost 400 years ago when Mikhail's mother, Elinora, was expecting him" Soren explained

"Wait! What? Mikhail's nearly 400 years old!" she exclaimed, her green eye widened in surprise. Both Soren and Noah let out a loud laugh at her surprise. Noah looked over to her and places his hand on her shoulder, and nodded at her and said "Don't worry about it I was just as surprised when I found out"

"Really?" Rosalind sighed in relief and Noah nodded

They continued through the ancient house through to the dining room to which they were called. Soren opened the door to the dining hall and gestured them inside to where Mikhail and elderly women were sat at the grand dining table. Mikhail got up and pushed both Noah and Rosalind under the table and then walk back to his place and sat down.

"We have some good news and some bad news," Mikhail said looking up at the others in a serious tone that made Rosalind shiver

"And what would that be?" asked Noah with a mouthful of food

"My brother is coming to visit for a couple of weeks," Mikhail said gloomly
