He walked in and shut the door. For seconds he look around my room and then me. Okay here goes his outbur-st.
” Why are you dressed like this ? Why are you wearing red ?” He asks walking slowly to my position.
” I don’t know. Kylie bought them..”
” fv¢k…” He cuss and roll his eyes.
” Why are you dressed like this ?”
” What is wrong with what I’m wearing ?” I ask cause I’m really pissed and tired. I’m not re-ady for his stupid fights.
” A lot of thing is wrong.” He roll his eyes again and walk behind me. What’s he doing ?
” Don’t try to think n@ûghty..” I felt his warm breath behind me as he move my hair to the side.
I look down at his hands and he’s holding a choker and something is written on it. I can’t even tell.
” What’s that ?” I ask him as knot the choker around my n£¢k.
” I own you and that’s a symbol..” I t©uçhed it as he walk to my front.
” You don’t look bad either…” He scoff and turn to walk out.
” Your highness…” He sigh and turn around. I take a bold step closer as I breathe in.
” What am I to you ?” I ask and bit my l!pma-king sure I don’t look at him.
” I thought you knew..”
” Yeah . Slave , pet..”
” So what else do you want me to say ?”
” So I’m just gonna be that forever ?” I ask and look at his eyes.
” Are you serious ? You wanna be a wife ?”
” No , $h!t. I wanna be free.”
” Free ?” He takes a step closer and tuck my hair behind my ear.
He lifts my chin to look at him properly. He’s really tall compare to me. I’m just this average girl.
” Don’t ever think of freedom. I’m not sure I have that.” Is he serious ?
” And if you get married ?”
” You’ll be a complete mistress then.”
” A mistress ? I don’t want to be your mistress.”
” Do you have a choice ?” I bat my lashes and look away from him.
” Every single day you should always be grateful.”
” And why should I be grateful ? Because you took me out of your father’s death tra-p and caged me in your room. Make me do a lot of crazy things I really don’t like. s£dûç£d me and then use me. What’s the difference ? Why should I be grateful ?” He tilt his head and I scoff.
” Suit yourself..” he turn around and walk out of the room.
I’m angry as I sit on the couch. I don’t wanna go , I just wanna stay here and sleep all night. It’s better than attending a p@rty with a lot of terrible vampires.
” You don’t look good. What did he say to you ?” Kylie ask as she shut the door.
She’s all dressed and better than before.
” You look pretty..” I smiled at her as she blu-shed.
” Thank you..” I sigh and stand up. I really haven’t look at this terrible black choker.
I stood opposite the mirror and t©uçhed Arden’s name inscribe-d on it.
” Arden ?”
” He owns you. It’s like that in royalty. No one’s gonna come close to you once they see that on your n£¢k.”
” This is crazy.” I hiss and turn to look at Kylie.
” In some ways , it’s really cool. We’re running late..” Kylie hold my hand and tilt her head.
” I don’t feel comfortable..”
” You’ll be fine.. we’re not driving with Jasmin and Arden. We’re going on another car and Dylan’s alre-ady gone. He’s not happy over some weird reasons.”
” Dylan ?” She nodded and lead me down the hall way.
” I really wished I can talk to him.”
” Trust me you will. I really nee-d a b©yfri£ndtonight though. And blood…” She sigh as we walk outside. I roll my eyes and stand beside her. What’s this gonna look like ?
” That’s our car ?” Kylie pointed as Derek open the back door for us.
” I don’t feel like going..”
” You’ll be fine..” Kylie whispered as she pu-ll me alongside her.
” You look beautiful ..” Derek says and smiled.
” Thank you.” I entered as Kylie did same too.
He shut the door once Kylie is inside . He turn around and entered the driver’s seat. I was next to the window and I feel nauseous over some weird reasons.
I glue my head to the window and pla-yed with my thumb on myl-ips.
” Is she okay ?” Derek ask driving us into the main road.
” She’s fine. Just nervous..” Kylie turn to look at me as she t©uçhed my forehead. I chuckle and turn to look at her.
” I’m good. I’m not sick..” she nods and smiles.
We pas-sed throu-gh the busy town and it’s beautiful. I’ve never been out since I got stuck to this royal family. The ride continued in silence for minutes and we were pas-sing busy streets and fancy places.
The car st©pped amongst other cars and for the third time my heart leap to my feet again. This isn’t good.
” Alita , are you okay ?” Derek ask and turn to look at me.
” I’m fine.” He smiled and turn to look at Kylie.
She shrug and open the door as she got outside. She ushered me to come outside and I sluggishly did. I could smell vampires from afar.
” Just watch…” Kylie whispered as I turn to look at the other car. Jasmin step outside as her eyes snap at me. She’s wearing a really h0t black go-wn. She looks pretty but i bet she’ll query me
tonight.
” What’s she wearing ?” Arden who’s on the phone turn to look at me and didn’t say anything.
” Jasmin , leave her alone..” he utter still on the phone.
She walk to where I’m standing and glance at me.
” Why are you dressed like this ? Are you crazy ?” She said throu-gh clenched teeth.
” I’m sorry..”
” You’ll pay. Stupid slave..” she glare at me for the last time and walk inside.
” Tag along..” Arden said before walking inside.
” Okay.. breathe..” Kylie says and I breathe.
” What about Derek ?”
” I’m okay here. I’m not good with p@rties..” he shove his head out of the car and win-ked.
” Now come. Don’t keep Arden waiting..” I roll my eyes and walk along side Kylie.
Oh my goodness , just as I predicted. It’s not bright in here , just a normal blue lights that could clearly view every single person. There were chatters and drinks in the air. Music and people.
” Arden..” a woman greeted Arden and Jasmin.
” I sight your pet..” she smiled at me and then over to the couples.
I look around and I could see humans. They smell different. Most of them are pets and maybe guests. Humans can’t be guests , either way there are humans . Haven’t seen a witch.
” Stick closer , don’t cause a scene.” Arden said and I bet only Kylie and I heard that. Jasmin’s talking non-st©p to a woman and she’s not close to Arden.
” Look who finally showed up.” A girl said out of nowhere as she hvg Arden.
” Chill , I see Jasmin..” she bit her l!pand tease Arden’s hair. Maybe his girlfriend , another girlfriend. Man who-re.
” Blue not now ..” Arden said to her.
She’s got her eyebrows pierced and she’s pretty. They are all pretty here.
” When are you coming back to your house ? I’ve got a lot ju-icy stuff for you. I missed you a lot.”
Arden didn’t reply , he sigh.
” Call me tonight..nice pet you’ve got.” She k!$$£d Arden on the cheek and walk out.
I roll my eyes and try to look for some place to sit. I can’t even see Dylan anywhere. Jasmin returned as a man walked in. They talked and laugh too. For once, Arden laugh genuinely. He must be close to Arden I think.
” Why don’t you go have fun . I’ll be okay.” I whisper to Kylie.
” Arden will…”
” Don’t worry , I’ll cover up for you. When you see a man you like , wi-nk at him.” I nudge her with my elbow and smiled at her.
” Thanks princess. See ya..” I nodded and she sneak out.
I watched the couples talk to the man as Arden turn to give me a quic-k stare. He paused and narrow his eyes. Yeah , Kylie’s gone. He turn to look at the man as the man finished talking and left. Arden turn back to look at me.
” Where’s Kylie ?”
” She’s pressed. She had to use the bathroom..” I cross my arm and sigh.
” Arden.. Jasmin..” another lady said as Jasmin hvg her. She hvgged Arden too and sm-irk at me.
” You brou-ght your pet.” She says like a question or something. Jasmin turn to glare at me again.
If she’s allowed she will cause a fight with me right here.
” Royal family’s this way. Your father’s waiting.” She hold jasmin’s hand and pause to look at me.
” Your pet can come.”
” No I’m good. I’m just gonna get a drink. Thank you.” I smiled at Arden who isn’t comfortable with the idea. I swear he’s not able to show his possessive attitude here.
Jasmin roll her eyes and they walk out. Thank goodness , I can explore. I walk pas-s a gathering of women as I look around. Some were dancing , while some people were feeding from humans right at a corner. Oh this is disgusting.
” Caught you..” I st©p and look at this weirdo Blue with pierced eyebrows.
” What do you want ?” I cross my arm and furrow my brows.
” You know that’s a wrong way to talk to strangers.” She sm-irk and looked at my dress.
” I likey. It’s h0t , I bet Arden drool over you tonight. But don’t be fooled , you’ll always be a pet and will be nothing else. I ba-rely could share Arden with Jasmin and then a pet. Arden’s such a wit….”
She bit her l!pand stare at me with her dark eyes. Without being told she’s worse than Jasmin.
” Has he t©uçhed you ?” I roll my eyes and ignored her. How am I supposed to answer that ?
” Excuse me..” I shake my head sightly and walk pas-s her. I saw a man walking round with a platter and glas-ses filled with red wine on the platter.
” Can I ?” I ask the man.
” Sure..” he lower the platter down as I take a glas-s. I sip a little and spit it to the floor. Eww , blood.
” Blood ?”
” Yeah.. what are you ? Human ?” Don’t I smell like a witch ?
I scoff and drop the glas-s back. It taste disgusting. How do vampires feel comfortable drinking blood. I saw a bar at the corner with a bartender attending to customers.
I take a sit and look around the bar.
” What do you care for ?”
” A drink plea-se and not blood..” he Chuckles and pour a white coloured drink on a short glas-s as he slowly push it to me. How am I gonna pay ? Maybe it’s free.
” You look beautiful..” the bartender said. I blus-h a bit and raise the glas-s to my nose. A pres£nce had to st©p me.
” What an angel .” He compliment me.
I drop back the glas-s and turn to look at my side. A brown hair man. Dressed really nicely with a terrible sm-irk. He looks like a man who-re.
” What do you want ?” I ask him but he didn’t reply. He stare at me lvstfully as he bit his bottoml-ip.
” I’ll do everything to li-ck this creature tonight .” He flir-ts and reach to t©uçh me.
” Don’t t©uçh me..”
” And why ? Who would resist such beauty ?” is he crazy ? I hate his eyes.
He reach to t©uçh my w@!st but I quic-kly gr-ab his hand and twist it. He scream but no one heard him because of the music.
” Don’t dare ..” I snap at him.
” You fv¢kin…” I hiss silently and punched his nose. I hold ti-ght to his hair and slam his head on the counter breaking my glas-s with the drink.
” Bastard .” I toss him to the floor and turn to look at the bartender who’s dumb.
” Sorry.”
” bit-ch…” The man sluggishly stood up and proceed to punch me but a hand st©p him.
” Butler. ” He scoff and drop the man’s hand. Dylan..
” Why would you want to abuse her ? Did you see her choker ?” Dylan ask the man as he looked at me carefully.
” Arden.. fv¢kin bastard.” He spits and snap his broken hand back before walking out.
” Don’t tell me you broke his arm..” Dylan whispered to me.
” I guess I did.” I whisper back.
” Oh my God..” he says and we both laughs.
” Ma’am , your money for the drink.” The bartender said.
” I didn’t even drink that…”
” It’s fine..” Dylan paid him and sigh.
” You want a free space ?” He ask giving me his hand.
” plea-se..” I smiled and take his hands.
We walked out of the bar and climb upstairs. Okay , this shoe is tiring. I heave a de-ep breath as we appeared in a large balcony upstairs.
” Okay…”
” I owe you a punch..” I said to him.
” What ?” He ask as I punch his stomach.
” $h!t. Alita really ?”
” That’s for betraying me. I’ve forgiven you anyways.” He takes a de-ep breath and gro-an .
” What makes you think I betrayed you ?”
” Because after saving your as-s , your people visited and caused a terrible disaster.” He roll his eyes and sigh.
” I didn’t. For some awkward reasons , most people searched for your tribes. They had to s£nd spies in form of an aircraft machine. I was surprised when I saw you here…” He takes a step
closer and hold the choker.
” As Arden’s pet too. What happened ?” He re-lease his hands from the choker and stare at me.
” I don’t even know. We wanted freedom so I thought I should fight your father’s warrior hvgo.
After fighting hvgo I had to fight the other one….”
” Dagon .” I nodded and sigh.
” I couldn’t cause I was poisoned. So Arden had to change the bet , because dagon wanted to kill me. So here I am , petified…” I laugh at my last statement. Petified.
” Does he maltreat you ?” Dylan ask. I tried to think .
Each time I try to think about all the bad things he did to me I remembered the day I fell sick. I wear good clothes and eat good food even if I sleep in a couch. He only yells when I must have offended him. I sigh and cross my arm.
” No. He’s a nice person with anger issues , I think..” Dylan laughs and shrug.
” Thank God you’re okay. I thought you’ve been going throu-gh hell.”
” No , just hate the p@rt when I’m locked indoors.”
” Maybe he doesn’t want you to get hurt.” I roll my eyes and look below.
Two crazy couple’s ma-king out. Dylan and I looked at each other and laugh in unison. It was hilarious watching two couples ma-king out.
” You look different tonight.” My cheeks hurt cause i blu-shed.
” I’m pretty serious. You look more beautiful and .. I’ll say h0t.” I chuckle and turn to look at him.
” I couldn’t even recognize you. I was wondering who’s the pretty lady in red . I never knew it was you. I almost lost my breath.” I pressed myl-ips together and smile shyly.
” Thank you..”
” You’re welcome. Why did you wear one of Arden’s favorite colours ?”
” The red was Kylie’s idea . She sort of liked it.”
“Hmm..” Dylan takes a de-ep breath and look beyond.
” Where’s your lady ? Arden brou-ght his , where’s yours ?” I ask him as he turn to look at me.
” I don’t even know. I don’t have any yet.”
” Why’s that ? You’re handsome..”
” Like it matters.” We laugh at once. They almost share same laugh. Just that Dylan’s better , since he’s not the grouchy type.
” Will I be a pet forever ?” I ask Dylan. For some reasons I’m sober.
Dylan sigh and turn to face me properly. I re-move my weight from the large rails and face him too.
” Do you wish to be ?” He ask. Damn , he’s so good looking. His eyes sparkle just like that as-s-hole master. I svçkmy bo-ttoml!pand shake my head sideways.
” Good.” He hold my hand and give me a card.
” That’s my number. You should call me if you nee-d help. I’m leaving the palace tomorrow and I’m going home.”
” Where’s your home ?”
” Not far. Still around here but I admire my free space . I really don’t fancy royalty.” He smiled and I nodded.
” Thanks Dylan..” I hvg him at once . The way he acted made me un-derstand he wasn’t expecting that.
His hand stro-ke my back as he hvg me properly.
” I missed you for some silly reasons. I guess you’re my new buddy.” I tell him as we pu-ll from the hvg.
He stro-ke my hair and tuck it behind my ears. We’re so close and his cologne is so add!çting.
” You’re beautiful , I can’t help but say it over again…” His voice is calm just like his eyes.
I couldn’t look away from his eyes same as him. He lean closer as my heart leap. I don’t know what I’m doing.
I stretch and stand on my toes as I k!$$£d him. I almost fell but his hands caught my w@!st as he lock eyes with me. He pu-ll me closer and k!$$£d me too. His mouth taste different from Arden and it’s still better.
I give in and k!$$£d him like he’s my lost husband. My hand find it’s way to his nape as we k!$$£d. I slowly open my eyes only to see Arden standing by the door with his hands in his pocket.
Uh oh..
This won’t go well…
