Unplanned Love

Chapter Five

Damien Pov:

I was in my library going over some of my family documentaries over the years when I hear someone coming. I pause and listen to the heartbeat, realizing it's just my butler. I continue to skim through the numerous books on the shelf.

"What do you need Edward." I ask when I felt him standing behind me.

"My lord." He addresses me. "Lord Drago has come to see you." He informs me in a clear voice. I stop my skimming and turn to face Ed. He had his head bowed.

Of all the people around me Ed is the only one who does not shiver from my presence. Maybe it's because he has been with me for a long time, but it does not matter if I catch the slightest bit of betrayal from him. I will be sure to send him to hell.

"Any idea why he is here." I ask, not making any move to go greet him. "Not sure my lord, but he has a human with him." He tells me.

"Hmmm." I hum thinking for a moment before letting out a sigh.

"Do you want me to tell him you are busy?" Ed asked taking my silence as dismissal. I stay quiet for a while before turning back to my books.

"It's okay Ed, you may go now, I will be down in a minute." I dismiss him.

If I know Aiden well, this visit is not ordinary. I know my birthday is today and he has been intent on giving me a present or in his words a

'surprise gift', only the heavens know why he is here now.

I leave the library and head for my guest lounge.

Aiden is one of those thorns in your side that you just can't shake off, you push them away but they just keep coming. What can I say we have known each other since childhood and now he is my closest friend.

I reach the stairs and catch wiff of an unfamiliar scent. It looks like that of a human. I try to control the anger and hatred brewing inside of me, coming down the stairs I find Aiden seated with a human in a collar standing awkwardly beside him.

"Aiden." I acknowledge as I reach the guest lounge. I go to take a sit watching Aiden.

"What brings you here?" I question.

"What do you mean? Today is your birthday, so I got you a present." He said looking excited. "Ta-da." He said gesturing towards the human. "Surprise."

I stare at him blankly before turning to the human and scanning her with my eyes. She was a breathtaking female with a body and a face that even vampires would die to have, but there was something about her scent. I couldn't quite place my finger on it.

I turn my attention back to Aiden. "You do know I have no need for a pet right. I ask him.

Aiden rolls his eyes looking at me. "O come on friend, you need something to keep you company and since you have decided not to get a mate. I thought a pet would be good for you, besides she is just a human. She is powerless." He said.

I sigh, my anger threatening to get the better of me.

"Aiden." I say with a deadly but calm voice. "You of all people understand my hatred for humans." I say tapping a finger on the armrest to help me keep my cool.

"I know Aiden, which is the more reason why I got you this pet. She might just help you see that humans are not that bad." He said.

"No." I simply said before standing up, ready to leave the room. Aiden stands up with me

"Wait." He said. "Okay, here is the deal. Keep her for a month and if you still see no worth in her. I will take her from you. Pleaseeee." He pleaded, staring at me expectantly.

I stop to consider his offer. I look at the girl and strangely enough she looks at me right back in the eyes as if challenging me.

Now that piqued my interest. How on earth is a slave so brave. I thought. There seem to be something more to this slave, and her scent earlier was also different. Considering these things I decide to keep her.

"Okay, but just a month and after that you take her out of my house.' I say and he nods. I turn and leave the room but not before telling Edwards to put the girl in one of the rooms in my wing.

Kimberly Pov:

After that very unpleasant experience with the Lord of the house. Lord Drago has taken his leave. I am now being led into an elevator by a man of about 5'4 or less. Who I assume is a butler.

After Lord Tavian agreed to take me, he called this butler looking guy and whispered something into his ear. Now am being led to an unknown place.

The elevator stops and opens. The butler steps out and I take that as my cue to follow him. I walk behind the guy trying to keep up in my high heels. I am led to an entirely different place which I am guessing is a different part of the house and on the main door. It says 'WEST WING. DO NOT ENTER'. The butler guy throws the doors open, gesturing me to follow.

This part of the house looks so different from the rest of the house. I noticed taking in every detail. The walls were a dark shade with hints of gold in it, making a beautiful mixture. There were painting of wolves, vampires, mages and so many dark stuff hung on the wall, but they were breathtaking.

After walking for a while, passing different doors that piqued my curiosity. We got to a room. The butler opens the door and I almost faint. The room is beyond stunning. The walls were painted red, my favorite color and the king sized bed had a mixture of red and black sheets. I am guessing the master of the house favours the color black alot.

Looking at the room I forget my current situation and just ogle. The butler clears his throat. "Well, my lady I will leave you to explore your room. You are not allowed to leave your room tonight, food will be sent to you and if you need anything, there is a telephone at your bedside. You can give me a call." He informs.

"Any questions?" He asks. I shake my head. "Good. Then we are done here. Goodnight my lady." He gives a little bow before leaving the room.

Once the butler is gone I let out a deep sigh. I did not know I was holding. That was intimidating. I thought to myself.

I decide to explore my room. I go to the bathroom and damn, man really knows how to build a mansion. The bathroom was beyond amazing. It almost left me speechless. I checked other parts of the room and just as expected they were all perfect. I go to the bed flopping down on it. I feel so tired.

I hear a faint knock coming from the door. I open it to find the butler and a maid with a tray of food. "My lady, this is Lily. She will be your personal attendant from now on. If you need anything you can always let her know." He informs.

I nod.

The lady drops the plate of food on the table before following the butler out of the room. Once they were gone. I let out a sigh.
