PRINCE LEANDRO…
In the process of f*****g her damp hole, I bloodfed from her smoothly, poured out my pheromones so she wouldn't feel the pains.
With every bit of her taste, I felt like ice had been filled in my system. My lycan and kyrennei went quiet and calm like never before.
An hour later, I was busy declining the f*****g petitions that were sent to my father about my eunuch having a feminine stature and should be investigated. I invoked those petitions when I heard one of the ministers discussing it with him, before I came to know about her being with my mother.
With my declining seal, I ended them up, and would have them all burned up.
“Get the ashes pot,” I said to Hansel and she was very quick, even though she didn't even know what the petitions were about.
As she brought it closer, I had the scrolls burnt one after the other. But I noticed she was worried. Her heart was heavy as though she had something to tell me, so I turned to her, “What's eating you up? Or should I find out myself? Aren't you glad that I'm limiting invading your mind?”
She moistened her lips, “It's not like that, but I thought you already knew.”
My forehead wrinkled. “What's that?”
“I feel like someone is following me, like a spy or what. And there's this minister I met, he stared at me for so long until I disappeared from his sight. His expression seemed confused, but I couldn't come up with what it could be he was thinking about me.” She stated, her fingers tangling her robe.
I said nothing until I was done with the scrolls, then I asked, “Would you recall the minister if you see him again?”
She nodded firmly.
“Then don't worry much,” I added and sat down. “And why are you thinking about my mistress?” I glanced at her.
She took a deep gulp, “After the princess claimed that I got her a pad, she got furious and left. Why do I feel like she reported to your mother? She was so mad at me and I felt jealous.”
“Has she ever wanted you?”
She nodded, “Back at her father's manor, I refused her interest in me.”
“Then send for her…”
Her eyes widened and she shook her head, “Please don't hurt her…”
“I'm not planning to. It's not like she would have a tasty blood.” I retorted and looked away, even though I caught her smiling before she left.
I waited there, pondering over what could happen next, because I was already perceiving the danger, until they returned and stood before me.
I stared at the lady, invading her mind with my powers and listening to every word she was speaking thoughtfully. I had to check up on her past plans, and finally shook my head.
“Osha, you are going to do laundry, prepare my meal, and clean up my space. Have the tailor and designer get me new royal dresses too.” I said to her and she bowed happily. “You can leave for now.”
“Yes, my prince.” She bowed again, glanced at Hansel, and exited my chamber.
When she was out of sight, I turned to Hansel, “She's innocent, and doesn't even know that my mother called you. She was just jealous but has no power against you here unless with evidence.”
She released a heavy breath and bowed carefully.
“Come sit here.” I touched the space by my side and she didn't waste time making herself comfortable beside me.
I loved her scent. I inhaled it, and at the same time, I wished she were my dead mate.
…
ELEVEN days later,
Aldric brought forward all the jars of liquor he had gotten for me since the last one had finished a long time ago. I was taking a shot from the jars to confirm that it was the liquor I'd been taking, when the serene sound of the air blew across the room.
I looked to my right and there, standing, was my mother, her arms crossed on her chest, eyes darting from me to Aldric.
“What is it again? Am I your only problem recently?”
“Prove that you aren't the one sucking them dry, Lean. In seven days, we lost another thirteen souls. Who the f**k is doing all that if not you?” She yelled, taking long steps forward.
I kindly recalled the first time I got a slap from my mother when I was still practicing my powers and wasn't teleporting yet. It was so painful that I stayed for hours without hearing.
Seeing how cold her facial expression was and imagining her lifting her hands on me, I stood up and faced her completely. “I hope you're not planning to hit me?”
“What if I do?”
“Luna,” Aldric pulled her attention. He glanced at me and continued, “Uhm, the prince is innocent about this.”
“I do not believe it, because I know what he can do.” She retorted and frowned at me. “Bloodfeed before my very eyes.”
My heart sank.
There was no way to bloodfeed before her and go unscathed. No matter how powerful I was, I wouldn't surpass the woman who gave birth and trained me.
“Do not waste my time. If you can't sink your filthy fang into Aldric, then have a guard do that for you.” Her voice came again and I swallowed.
The only person who could withstand my bloodfeeding was Hansel and I had sent her on an errand outside the palace. Whoever I laid hand on would dry up and slump before our very eyes, and my mother wouldn't spare me.
In the past, I wasn't scared of whatever my mother got to do to me. But recently, I didn't want her to come into my show. I didn't want to get back to that lava which was the most painful place for me.
I glanced at Aldric and mind-linked him, “Bring in a guard…” so I blocked my mother from listening to Aldric's mind immediately.
He responded, “How are you going to do it? I'm scared.”
“Don't worry,” I assured him, but deep down, I was freaking out.
If she could read my mind, then she would have found out how my mind was spinning at that moment, how I was going crazy.
Aldric returned with a young guard, and just the sight of him stirred my kyrennei, even though we hadn't tasted his blood.
‘I won't be rash. Take it slowly.’ My Kyrennei reminded me, as if that was the remedy.
I didn't believe that the young man would survive, but I was ready for whatever my mother had in store for me.
Meeting her deadly look, I fastened my step towards the guard and ordered him, “Bare your neck.”
He gave me a pleading look before obeying, and I slowly revealed his flesh before sinking my fangs into him.
A scream escaped his throat and I poured in my pheromones, hoping that it wouldn't awaken his s****l hormones here.
Like my Kyrennei suggested, I sucked slowly, speaking in my mind, and praying that Hansel comes back faster.
I sniffed, trying to perceive her scent even if she was still far away, but I couldn't even feel it.
