Melissa went deeper into the forest. She didn't know where she was heading to buy she kept on moving. She has never dreamt of leaving the witches kingdom in her life and now here she was all alone in the forest. Melissa startled when she heard the rustling of leaves. She waited quietly as she sighted where the noise was coming from. A tall figure began to appear in the dark, until if finally halted when it saw her.
"Who are you?" He heard her asked
"I should be asking you that. What are you doing in the Vampires forest" The man stern voice startled her.
"I'm lost" She lied
"Oh, Really. Well, I can take you back to the witches kingdom in just one jump" He proudly said as she walked nearer to her.
"No! I don't want to go back and how do you know that I'm a witch" She asked the man
"Your heartbeat can tell. Now what do you want Little kitten, should I take you back to your kingdom or leave you alone here and pretend I didn't see you" The man said in a cold tone
"How bout you take me to your kingdom?" The girl said in baby tone not sure if the man would accept.
"No way! Why would I take a witch with me to my Kingdom? I don't k so you and I don't know what harm you might bring" He hastily rejected.
"Then you can leave and pretend you didn't see me" Melissa said disappointedly.
"Seriously?" The man asked
"Just Go!" Melissa yelled on him.
"Fine. Enjoy your endless trip to the Dragon's mouth" He smirked at leapt away. Melissa felt disappointed. What did he mean by the Dragon's mouth? She threw herself on the ground and she cried silently.
"What if her mother sent her here to die alone so that she could live happily with Elisa and her husband? What is she is curse to this existence?" Melissa cried.
Her mother wouldn't do that to her. She could sense sincerity in her voice. What's going on? Melissa stood up and continued her trip as she went deeper into the forest. She couldn't turn back because doesn't even know the way around back. She kept on moving deeper until she heard a loud roar.
An animal whimpered in pain as he walked towards Melissa. The animal was huge and every step it took made the ground shake. The animal hasn't sighted Melissa yet but a shake would make it look at her. Melissa peed on her body. The animal roared again upon sighting her as it jumped an inch away from her. Melissa trembled in great fear and she didn't even realized when she screamed out loud.
The big orc made an attempt to grab her for a tasty dinner when a sword slashed it's neck. The animal roared again and then it landed on the floor and the forest shaked again.
Melissa was surprised on what just happened. She looked at the familiar figure as it approached her. She couldn't see his face but his scent made her remember him.
"What are doing here?" She asked like a stubborn child.
"You still look frightened. Don't worry it's dead" He told her
"That's not the question I asked" The girl remained adamant.
"Well, Well, Well, I came back because I knew something bad might happen. I'm not that evil to make a person die when I know I can do something to help. Consider this a favor and repay me back later in 2 foes." The man blabbered.
"2 Foes?" She repeated
"Yes, anyways, I've changed my mind, since you are a powerless witch, I've decided to help you" He said
"Really?" She jumped in excitement
"Yes but you will be under my custody. I will own you that my condition" He said
"Own me? Excuse you, I'm a princess" she blurted out
" And I'ma king. You are a princess in your kingdom and not I'm my own kingdom. You can be my queen if you marry me" He smirked
"Marry what?"
"Just keep it low....Anyways, do you accept my condition?" He asked
"Um...y..es" she said
"Good kitten. Now hold me neck" He commanded
"What?"
"Do you want to leave here or sleep here. Just obey me" He said in a hoarse voice.
She quietly obeyed and in one second the man jumped high. he kept on leaping until he halted when he sighted people.
"This is my Kingdom" He said and he held her waist again.
"Hold me neck, I'm going to my home" He said.
She obeyed and then he leapt again. He took her to a secluded area. Then he halted he reached him home in the compound.
"This is my house" He said and two guards came to bow in front him.
"Your Magesty" The bowed.
"This is....." He paused as he stared at her. it's already dark and he couldn't see her face. With her voice he knew that the girl would be pretty.
"Your name?" He asked
"Me... Melissa" She answered
"Okay ...this is Melissa." He introduced her to his guard.
"Princess Melissa" He corrected.
The duo bowed down to her and she waved at them shyly.
He held Melissa hands and he drew her going into the house. He took her to his room.
"Is this your room?" She asked
"Yes"
"Will. I. Sleep. here." She stressed her words
"Yes" He simply said as he started pulling off his outer garments.
"No way! I can't sleep here" She rejected and then the man turned towards her. The man's bare chest was revealed before her. She couldn't see it properly because the candles on wasn't that bright enough but the man's chest was well built. Her jaws dropped looking at the man's abs
"Are you done ogling? Now close your mouth" He mocked her
"Ahem" She snapped her.
"I'm not sleeping here" Sha said
"Then, let me get dressed quickly and return you back into the forest since you prefer to sleep there than here." He smirked.
"No way! I will sleep here" She quickly laid in the floor.
"On the bed" He corrected. Melissa's eyes widened but she quickly stood up and laid on the bed.
"What's your name?' She asked him as he approached the bed.
"Why do you want to know Little kitten?" He laid beside her
"So that I call you by your name" She answered.
"Just call me Your Majesty" He proudly said.
"Good night" She said and he was surprised that she didn't ask further questions. The girl turned opposite him and doze of. He sighed as he kept in staring at the ceiling.

The next day began and Melissa woke up. She turned beside her and her jaw dropped as she stared at the angel sleeping beside her. She couldn't believe that it was this handsome man that saved her yesterday in the forest. He looked breathtaking. Handsome is an understatement to be used to describe his beauty. Melissa scanned his face from his hair to his eyebrow to his long eyelashes and then it gradually went down to his Roman Nose and then to his sexy hot lips. Her gaze went to his bare chest and then she quickly close her eyes. She didn't want this man to tempt in doing something bad. Melissa climbed down from the bed and then she went out of the room. Stepping out from his from, she met two guards outside the door
"Good morning Your Highness" They both bowed down to her in sinc.
"Good morning" She smiled back urging them to rise.
"I'm hungry" She blurted out and the duo stared at each other.
"I will take you to the kitchen" A guy volunteered. Melissa followed him to kitchen hastily. The man served the food the maids had prepared for His Majesty for her. Without saying thank you, Melissa eat all the food.
"Thanks" She said after the delicious meal.
The guy seemed surprised
"You welcome" He said.
"Um, what's his Magesty name?" She asked him.
"Um...." He was interrupted by his majesty
"Why do you instill on knowing my name little kitten?" A familiar voice startled Melissa.
"Oh no" She cursed.
