most times when he watched his father take blood, before he had it again would be after a very long time,he had no idea if it was because of the fact that he was a half vampire,he craved blood most of the time and would often lose his powers.
he had learned to take already saved blood that had being preserved and given him in a glass cup,it would do is job to energize him but ever since he met Alexa,he wouldn't be able to control himself and would only want her blood fresh from the source.
He woke up from his slumber after two days,his mind was fogged and his only thoughts were Alexa,he took a table knife and slashed his wrist so he could fell pain and temporarily forget about his insanely hunger,he reached Alexa and her mom's house,he stood at the front door the door wasn't locked,he kept quiet to notice any sound but there was none meaning Alexa's mom wasn't back from country D.
That was actually a relief.
He entered the house and quietness evolved,he saw her suitcase at first sight.
She was traveling?..
He walked deeper into the room calling her name"Alexa, Alexa can we talk",there was no reply,he guy feeling told him the wasn't here also but he decided to check anyways.
He climbed up the stairs and headed for her room when he froze as he saw the bracelet he had given her that she normally wore on her left hand it was scattered on the floor accompanied by blood on the floor,it was dried but he could still see it perfectly.
It couldn't be hers right?.
With new found determination,he transported to the palace,it was unusually quiet and he had a bad feeling about it,he snuck through the garden and saw a guard, suddenly his hunger for blood rushed back and he drained the blood of the guard as soon as he laid his hand son him.
With enough strength,he went into the palace and saw two guards guarding the front door of a room,he could instantly tell Alexa was inside,he went closer to the guards without them noticing him and snapped their head
afterwards drawing their blood, he opened the door gently so as not to scare her but was surprised as she was asleep,his gaze softened as he strode towards her,she looked really peaceful but her brows were knitted,he looked down on her as he gently caressed her brows, it relaxed for a bit as she slowly opened eyes.
She stared dazed at him for a while.
Was this a dream?,it was a relief atleast he came to her in her dream,his rough thumb caressed her cheek bringing goosebumps to her body,it felt too real.
Wait a minute..,it was real.
Her eyes snapped open as she looked at him now,his well sculpted face looked tired and his always crease free clothes were now full of crease but that didn't stop him from looking as handsome as he was.
You actually came for me,she was now sitting on the bed as she stared at his face.
Did you think I wouldn't?,he asked and she was quiet for a while because she actually knew he would eventually come buy she didn't want him to come.
She pushed his hands away"you can't be here",she said startling Ayden while coming back to her senses.
Kayden has been away for a while,and the guards are not here, only few maids are around,he even killed his father's,I have a really bad feeling about this,you should leave quickly before he come and here turns into a bloodbath.
I came to get you so am not leaving without you,even if it means that I'll have to fight him,she felt touched,he looked extremely tired but would still fight his brother just to see her safe.
And don't you think I can actually defeat my brother,he questioned as he pinched her cheeks,it hurt but she didn't say anything.
What are the possibility of you actually winning,he has lots of backing and we're just two of us,she answered honestly.
We'll cross that bridge when we reach there,he took her hand and dragged her from the bed.
Hold on to me,he said but she stepped backwards.
Alexa trust me,she scoffed.
You know of all people that I don't trust you anymore,since you know how to break my trust.
Are we gonna talk about the engagement.
I didn't say anything,you did,she replied and looked away from him,he could tell she wasn't happy.
I'll explain everything to you later,let's just leave here,he held onto her waist and jumped down the window,landing safely on the ground they began to run,they were this close to leaving the palace gate when an unwanted familiar voice rung out.
"O brother,where are you taking my bride to?.
They stopped as they stared at each other,they turned back slowly and faced Kayden with a lot of guards.
By the way congratulations on your engagement brother,Kayden said and Alexa lowered her face,Ayden on the other hand noticed this and tightened his grip on her hands.
Kayden what do you want exactly?, Ayden asked.
Am not really sure,am getting crowned King in a few days and I come back just to see this..,he looked at their intertwined hands with envy.
Am leaving with her whether you like it or not, Ayden turned back with Alexa and walked forward.
I didn't want to do this brother but you forced him.."kill him",he ordered.
Don't even harm a single strand of hair on her body,he added and the guards rushed forward to fight.
Noticing their footsteps coming closer,Ayden pushed Alexa away and fought with them,he didn't have a weapon so it wasn't as easy,he was able to defeat a few within seconds and too away the swords.
