~Narva city

Ze'ev name was whispered in the lobby of workers like a forbidden prayer. His steps were measured, purposely, echoing the centuries of grace the flowed through his veins.
Clad in a finely tailored suit, every thread seemed to obey his command, draping him in an aura of sophistication. With his gaze as sharp as the edge of a dagger, his eyes, the pure colour of black, held secrets untold, promising both ecstasy and peril to those who dared to mess with his gaze. His features, sculpted by the hand of some divine artisan, bore the mark of ageless beauty.
The handsome vampire in the suit, a paradox of beauty and danger.
He strode into his office dramatically and a sigh was heard from someone present in the room. His cousin, zyran
"What… is wrong with you?"Zyran scratched his temple and zev shook his hands in his pockets, grinning from ear to ear.
"Ranee" he forced a hug on him playfully. Zyran was the closest male to him…he was even closer to him than Aslan. When their parents died and Aslan locked himself in his room 24/7, rane was always there for him…well until his aunt decided they were going to move. It took a few years till they saw eachother again. Now, Rane was always filling his place at work because he was lazy. In other words, Rane was his best friend.
"What took you so long?…they called you hours ago" zyran whined
"You know Euan…plus they didn't inform me you were around" he defended
"It was supposed to be a surprise… how was your wedding and how is that little genius" zev picked up an bottle of blood on the table and stared at the two glass cups beside it
"The wedding would have been great if you were there…and you know Euan" he didn't think he needed to any thing about it euan.
Euan was just Euan.
"So…your wife pretty?" Rane grinned which was contagious, making zev grin too
"Yeah…she is" was his reply before pulling the cap of the bottle and filling the cups evenly.
"Good for you, someone has come almost immediately to replace Ady" the atmosphere became stiff and suffocating, zev stiffened and his muscles worked.
Rane groaned loudly and threw himself on the couch.
"Don't tell me-"
"It's only been a week" zev cut him off
"A week you caught her cheating" Rane pointed out.
"She wasn't cheating…"
"Yeah…she was flirting with Aslan behind your back" Rane said sardonically
"Can we stop talking about ady…please" he ran his long fingers through his hair. Rane shook his head and grabbed his own glass cup filled with blood and placed the rim on his lip. He gulped the whole thing down and kept staring at zev who was busy filling his cup over and over again.
"Damn…you must really be thirsty" Rane said.
"I've been tired since last night" zev replied relaxing his muscles by slouching on the sofa.
"Hmm…a little wedding night activity huh?" He teased and zev sat upright.
"We didn't have sex" he pointed out and Rane raised a brow like he was saying 'common dude,you can lie to anyone but me'
"For real…we just…wait why the fuck am I even telling you this" he stood up and his phone buzzed immediately.
Ze'ev heaved a sigh and slipped his phone out of his pockets. The screen displayed his personal assistant, Loïc. He knew he shouldn't be calling him when he was at work, maybe he just wanted to lose his job.
"Who's that?" Rane asked, Ze'ev barely got calls when he was at work because his workers knew better. So seeing someone call him, it must be something urgent.
He swiped on decline and slipped it back into his pockets.
"Loïc" was his only reply.
"Then why'd you decline it?"
"I'll deal with him when I get home"
"What if it's an emergency?"
"Then he'll call twice, don-" his phone ringing tone broke him off and he groaned. Slipping the phone out of his pockets again.
"What?"he answered, his gruff voice barely a whisper.
"The princess…we can't find her"Loïc voice on thé other end strained, quivered, and trembled as he relay the news he knew would get him almost killed.
Zyran noticed the atmosphere change and he got worried thinking something had happen to Euan.
"You mean she's missing?" Zev asked and Loïc stammered
"Yes sir"
"You dared call me when you haven't found her?" Anger surged through Ze'ev like a tempest unleashed. He told her not to go anywhere!
His knuckles turned white with intensity of his fury. Questions collided his head, maybe she didn't run away, Maybe she was kidnapped. He struggled to contain the storm raging within him.
"I-I…I was thinking to inform you" he didn't want to stammer to much cause Ze'ev might hate that.
"You had to inform me before searching for her?." He took a long pause and after some seconds of gathering his thoughts he spoke with a thick voice
"let me tell you want will happen if you don't find her by dusk…I will take you to Aslan and feed you to the prisoners in his dungeon. Good night" and with that threat, he hung up.
"Threatening them with Aslan is pretty harsh" rane gulped all the drink in his cup.
"He's lucky, I didn't say I would take care of him myself" he slipped the phone back into his pockets. Rane nodded in agreement, that really would have been the worst.
"So…what's wrong?" He asked, he knew something went wrong when he sensed his anger a second ago.
"My 'wife' is missing"zev chuckled in amusement as he emphasised on the 'wife'
"Did she get kidnapped…I mean people will really be after her life now that she is married to the most powerful vamp-"
"No…she ran away" was his only reply. He had to say he saw it coming. Don't blame him, that's how he met her…she was running away. Plus he saw how she didn't like this forced marriage and he watched her expression when he told her he was leaving.
He knew she would disobey him.
She dared disobey him!…he just left yesterday
Rane didn't bother asked her more questions, he was already lost.
