Every vampire heir was supposed to turn naturally at the age of five. He was still human at fifteen. Suddenly home was no longer safe. He could feel them everywhere and they could almost taste his innocent blood at the tip of their fangs. Human! Their eyes glowed. Human! Their senses peeked. Their prince was human. Run Adam Run. He ran. For seven years he hid. They forgot about him. Then a new queen was crowned. The daughter of the traitor that ruined his life. Just when he thought his life could be normal, the hunt began again and he had no idea if it was because he was seen as a threat or because few years back, he might have just rejected her as mate. She was the icy vampire General. Her mere presence screamed power. Her cold eyes discharged fear. Her aura commanded submission. After she was tricked into relinquishing her throne to her sister, she was made to take to take an oath of allegiance, to protect her sister for the rest of her life. But Evangel was no angel. If she couldn't physically hurt her sister then she could hurt the mate. For her revenge, she was ready to play his game of hide and seek.
Breathe Adam. Breathe.
My legs wouldn't stop burning. My ribs were threatening to tear out of my skin. My lung burned from lack of oxygen.
Breathe Adam Breathe.
My vision was blurred with tears. My throat was dry and dehydrated. My whole body was covered in sweat
Breathe Adam Breathe.
They were coming. They were behind me. They were naturally faster but I couldn't stop. Even when the angels of death were just behind.
Breathe Adam Breathe.
They were just discovering I was gone. It would only take seconds for them to catch me. Nothing could outrun them.
Hide. Hide. Hide.
I reached for the oil in my sachel and applied it quickly on my body. Holding on to the nearest tree branch, I forced myself up.
Breathe Adam Breathe.
The sudden rush of wind told me they were closeby. Branch by branch, I pushed into the canopy of leaves. I settled at the top, hiding among the leaves. I glanced down.
Breathe.....no don't breathe. Don't breathe...
They stopped just below me, squinting their eyes to see beyond the night. Ears peaked to pick up to the slightest sound. Skin tamed to feel the slightest displacement of air.
Don't breathe. Don't breathe.
"I can't pick his scent, commander" One spoke. My heart kept pounding a million times harder.
"I know. The scent might be gone but he's still here. Comb the entire forest. He's here somewhere" The Commander's cold voice made every hair on my skin stand.
I know him. I know all of them.
Traitors. Traitors. Traitors.
Gaziah, my father's second-in-command. The others were soldiers. Soldiers who took an oath of loyalty to the kingdom and my father.
You're not one of them. They're all traitors. Traitors.
I glanced down in disdain as more arrived and spread into the forest. I remembered the reason I was running in the first place. The reason I was goin through all these. Tears strolled down my cheeks.
"Commander, you need to return at once" Another voice spoke suddenly. I think he's just arriving. I sighed in relief.
"The palace has been breached. The royal family are under attack" He continued and a gasp escaped my lips.
I quickly forced a hand over my mouth and thankfully they were too distracted by the news to notice. My family is under attack?. My chest tightened.
Breathe Adam Breathe.
"Retreat to the palace at once" Gaziah commanded and tears rolled down my cheeks as I watched them zoom off. A son escaped my lips. It was all my fault. All my fault for being different.
All my fault for being a weak pathetic human!
Tears flowed freely down my cheeks. I remained on the spot, crying my pathetic self out. I did this. I caused it all. My family is going to pay for my mistakes.
Why didn't I turn like every royal blood?.
Why couldn't I be a full blooded vampire like I was supposed to?. Why human? Why human?.
It was too late to change anything. If I had to live then I had to move. It'd be only a matter of time before they find me. I jumped off the tree and resumed running through the dark silent forest.
I kept running without looking back. Then I heard rushing of water and I took an inward sigh. The waterfall was the link between our dark world and the humans' merry earth.
Almost there...just a little more...
I reached the waterfall but before I could think of stopping, a force sent me to the ground. Panic set in immediately. I have been caught!
Caught! Caught! Caught!.
Tears pricked my eyes. I'm going to die.
"So delicious" A feminine voice whispered. My breath hitchd as I felt her fangs on my neck. I couldn't tell what she looked like cause she attacked me from behind.
"P..please let m..me go.." My voice cracked as I pleaded. Even though I knew she didn't literally have a functioning heart, a part of me hope that the metal in her chest could at least melt a little.
"So pleasant..your scent.." she whimpered ignoring my plea. Why didn't I apply more of that oil?. I knew there was no way out.
"Mine... you're mine..." Her possessive voice bellowed and that was when I truly panicked. I reached inside my satchel without thinking and grabbed the silver blade.
Without second thoughts, I thrust the blade into her side.
"No... I don't w..want to be y-yours" I cried, shoving her off and dived into the river. I swam away ignoring her agony.
"I'm going to tell you what I have in mind," he murmured. "First you're going to strip down until you're completely naked," he whispered against her ear. "Then I'm going to tie you up so you're completely powerless and subject to my every whim." "Mmm, sounds good so far," she murmured. "Then I'm going to insert a plug to prepare you for me. After that I'm going to spank that sweet ass of yours until it's rosy with my marks." She shivered uncontrollably, her mind exploding with the images he evoked. She let out a small whimper as he sucked the lobe of her ear into his mouth. God, she could cum with just his words. She was already aching with need. Her nipples tingled and hardened to painful points. Her clit pulsed and twitched between her legs until she clamped her thighs together to alleviate the burn. "And then I'm going to f**k your mouth. But I won't cum. Not yet. When I'm close, I'll flog you again until your ass is burning and you're on fire with the need for relief. And then I'm going to f**k that ass. I'm going to take you hard and rough, to the very limits of what you can withstand. I won't be gentle. Not tonight. I'm going to take you as roughly as you can stand. And then I'm going to cum all over your ass. Are you ready to be completely and utterly dominated?"

My name is Katia, and I am just trying to survive until my fated mate arrives. Which may be easier said than done. Rejectection is the last straw. Whispering my acceptance of his rejection. I run through the pack house, out across the manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me and have had to suffer everything I have. She whispers," it's not your fault, Katia. We came to a cliff with a waterfall. The hurt keeps pounding at me. I need it to stop. My sweet girl, and I just want peace, I keep running and leap off the cliff. Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you." The Snow Moon pack is having their last barbecue of the summer next to the waterfall on their land. The adults are laughing and joking while watching the pups play. The alpha, beta, and gamma are swimming with some of the older children and playing a game of Marco Polo. Someone yells, "Oh my goddess, someone just jumped over the waterfall!" Everyone is frozen as they watch what looks to be a child falling arms spread wide, no one makes a sound. The small body hits the water like a plane crashing into the side of a mountain. The alpha, beta, and gamma, spring into action, swimming towards the area the person went under. The alpha is screaming his wolf is going crazy repeating, "Find her. Find her...find her!" They dive and the beta surfaces with a small person in his arms. Alpha takes the girl from his beta, laying her on the ground. The men are shocked by what they see. She is covered in scars and injuries. Her body is twisted and broken. The Beta asks, "Who could have done this to someone so defenseless?" Alpha drops to his knees, repeating, "MATE...MATE...MATE!"
Everyone was shocked to the bones when the news of Rupert Benton's engagement broke out. It was surprising because the lucky girl was said to be a plain Jane, who grew up in the countryside and had nothing to her name. One evening, she showed up at a banquet, stunning everyone present. "Wow, she's so beautiful!" All the men drooled, and the women got so jealous. What they didn't know was that this so-called country girl was actually an heiress to a billion-dollar empire. It wasn't long before her secrets came to light one after the other. The elites couldn't stop talking about her. "Holy smokes! So, her father is the richest man in the world?" "She's also that excellent, but mysterious designer who many people adore! Who would have guessed?" Nonetheless, people thought that Rupert didn't love her. But they were in for another surprise. Rupert released a statement, silencing all the naysayers. "I'm very much in love with my beautiful fiancee. We will be getting married soon." Two questions were on everyone's minds: "Why did she hide her identity? And why was Rupert in love with her all of a sudden?"
