Calanthor kingdom was located in the of the continent of Valance which was ruled by the vampire duke. The Kingdom is a land of breathtaking beauty, which has a rich history, and mystical wonder to it's land.
This enchanting realm is bordered by the directionpro which is divided into four regions. Which is the Drachenfels, the majestic Dragons mountain which range to the east where both vampires , humans and any other creatures are forbidded from nearing for some unknown reason best known to the duke, the mystical Wysteria Forest to the west that is forbidden to only werewolves and the shimmering Crystal Coast to the south.
As Lady Catherine was walking with her husband, she could see the huge mountain from afar and a red sign board at the front but she couldn't see the name.
Where are we heading to? She asked Lucas who had work back his hooded mask for some reasons best known to him.
To the duke's house. He replied and stretched forth his hand for Catherine to hold.
Catherine slowly held his hand and their fingers joined together, both of them walking hand in hand. While they were walking, they came across rocky stones.
Are these normal stones? Lady Catherine asked with curious gaze as she noticed the stones looks like bones.
Instead of Lucas to answer her, he then asked, "how many answers do I owe you?"
Catherine was taken aback by his unexpected question.
Three. She said calmly not understanding why he brought that up.
Just as Lucas was about to part his lips to talk, he heard clashing of swords, and like speed lightning, he pulled out the swords and slit their throats, their heads rolling on the stones as blood splatter every where.
Catherine eyes widened in horror staring at her husband. She felt her heart raced tremendously as fear gripped her at what just happened.
She was in shock as she couldn't believe what Lucas just did. Lucas stared at Catherine and saw the fear in her eyes what ch made him wonder if she suddenly got scared of him.
He then parted his lips to talk,
"These things are bony skeletons which were awaken by the werewolves to attack vampires. "
Catherine eyes remained glued on the headless bodies before her gaze fell on her husband.
Are you truly a monster? She asked thoughtlessly and Lucas clenched his jaw at her sudden question. He knew as human and pure as she is, she won't be able to accumulate the fact that he kills with his beast in brutal killer mode. The only thing now that scares him now is her fear towards him.
All your questions will be answered tonight. He said calmly observing her every facial expressions.
Then the next moment, " I want to go home. "
She was still in shock at how her husband had killed these things without bating an eye.
Lucas dark black grey eyes darkened dangerously at her sudden request. He should have known better his wife will find it hard to bear the kills.
His anger rose to it's highest peak and he began walking away leaving only Catherine all by herself. Just as he took five steps away from her, he turned sideways not looking at her.
"I believe you know the way to the duke's house. He said with an emotionless tone which didn't go unnoticed by Catherine. For some reason, she felt she has hurt him with the way she reacted.
Catherine slowly raised the hem of her gown and slowly walked towards him.
And the next moment, Lucas pulled her to himself with strong powerful force that had her gasping in disbelief.
Cold shivers ran down her spine as she felt his cold warm hands wrapped around her waist pulling her closer to himself.
"Do you also believe I'm a monster?" He asked with his deep masculine voice that sent icy chills down her spine.
Catherine felt her heart thumping wildly with what just happened. It happened like a flash that she never saw this coming.
Her cheeks flushed lightly and at the same time, her gaze were pulled back to gaze into his dark black grey eyes that was staring deeply into her eyes as if piercing through her soul. The single question he had asked her made feel in a certain type of way she shouldn't supposed to be feeling.
She bit her bottom lip hard and was about to respond to him when people gathered around them.
They were Lucas soldiers.
Your highness, The duke awaits your presence. Mason reported.
Lucas broke his strong gaze away from his wife before staring at the men.
You may all leave, we are heading to war tomorrow. He ordered and the men bowed their heads in unison before dispersing.
Catherine couldn't help but keep her curiousity and asked, how were-
As if knowing the question she was about to ask, he replied, you remember I told you I can communicate with them. He reminded with a bright smile.
Oh yes, you said you have a special ability. And I wanted to ask if daylight monster can communicate, but you shunned me off by swooping me in your hands. She said calmly remembering what transpired between them.
Yes. He answered. So back to my question, do you also think so? He asked his piercing gaze burning through hers.
Catherine swallowed hard cause she could feel hi Shane slowly circling her small back in a soft featherish manner. Her heart began to skip again.
Her whole were heating up just the the thought of his cold and warm hands firmly on her waist.
Catherine gulped and lowered her gaze to look down. Lucas was expecting her to say yes or no, but to his utter disbelief she said something he never thought would cross her mind.
"I don't know." She said still looking down.
Lucas slowly let go of her and held her hand as they walked away from the rocky stones inside the huge mansion.
