Chapter 74
‘Send me a lady-in-waiting with a nightgown,’ Prince Duncan mind links his brothers again as he does not want to leave Armenia alone to go look for a nightgown.
‘Did you take a human princess?’ One of his brothers mind links back.
‘Just send me a lady in waiting with a nightgown!’ He mink links back frustrated.
Prince Duncan goes to the bathroom and pours her a bath.
“Come,” he demands.
Obediently against her will, she walks to the bathroom.
Armenia stands still, her nakedness exposed but she cannot cover herself.
“Get in. Do I really have to tell you what to do?” Prince Duncan asks.
Armenia gets in but the water is too hot. Since she is compelled to listen to him she gets into the hot water, moaning through fresh tears.
“Dammit!” Prince Duncan grabs her and lifts her out of the hot water.
With her naked body against his naked chest, Prince Duncan feels his manhood stir.
He puts her down and hunches down to inspect her feet, but it does not look too bad, “with the vampire blood in you the pain should be gone any moment now.”
With his face so close to her womanhood he catches the scent, and it overwhelms him.
“Please run the water to the right temperature for you and bath,” he says, standing up.
He leaves the bathroom before he forces himself on her. He laid down on the bed. It didn’t take long for the lady in waiting to arrive with a nightgown.
Prince Duncan knows the woman, he has taken her to bed several times.
Ria was not too bad looking with her mousy blond hair, fair skin, and green eyes. She had a good body with full breasts.
Ria lays the nightgown down on the bed and looks over at the erection under Prince Duncan's towel, “need help with that?”
Without answering her he grabs her and lifts her dress while pushing her to the bed. Ria liked being roughed handled. As she wraps her legs around his waist in anticipation for him to enter her, he stops and looks at her.
“Dammit!” he gets off her, frustrated, and walks to his closet to put on a nightshirt.
Ria left breathless and not understanding why all of a sudden, the Prince doesn’t want her, stands up from the bed.
“Please go help Princess Armenia in the bathroom,” Prince Duncan says.
“I thought she is not a princess after all?” Ria questions.
“Well, I mated with her so she must have some royal blood running through her,” Prince Duncan says.
Ria goes to the bathroom and wonders why the prince did not just un-mate with Armenia like he has done a dozen times before.
After bathing, Ria helped Armenia to the bedroom where she started to dry off Armenia.
Prince Duncan is unable to take his eyes off the two women, wishing it could be him drying off Armenia.
Ria slips the dress over Armenia’s head and positions her long locks over it.
“Thank you, Ria, you may leave,” he says, sending her away.
“Get into bed,” he tells Armenia.
“Please, don’t do this, I am a lady of honor, I need to be married first,” Armenia pleads as she gets into the bed.
Prince Duncan gets up from the bed and takes his pillow and after putting the lights off lays on the day bed, most of his legs hanging off it as he is too tall.
Prince Duncan laid awake most of the night, listening to Armenia sobbing; her unhappiness pained him.
When she finally stopped, he got up and laid on the bed next to her, looking at her, able to see her clearly with his night vision.
He reaches out and strokes her cheek and then her lips.
Armenia wakes but keeps still, pretending to be asleep. Prince Duncan fell asleep and despite her fear, Armenia also fell asleep.
The next morning Armenia woke up with the sun shining on her face. When she opened her eyes and sees Prince Duncan sleeping, she remembers what happened and where she is.
For a moment she stares at his beautiful features. ‘How can this beautiful man be a monster? Did he really turn into a wolf or did I just dream that?’ she thinks as she reaches out and touches where he bit her. There is no pain, but she can feel the scars, ‘did it heal so quickly?’ Armenia remembers the vampire, ‘Vampires torn my dress and touched me, and drank from me! What kind of place is this,’ Armenia thinks, feeling violated as she gets out of the bed, trying not to make a sound.
Armenia sneaks quietly to the bedroom door and manages to get out of the room without waking up Prince Duncan.
Armenia runs as fast as she can, not sure where she is going. She soon finds herself in the Vampire wing of the castle, unaware of the danger that she is in.
She stops running and walks for a bit to catch her breath, turning into one door after another. Armenia looks around at the dark thick drapes and realizes that it is dark with only a few lamps shining, barely providing enough light to see clearly. She decided to go back the way she came but every time she opens a door she is met by a wall. One after the other door she opens but can not find her way out.
"Hello reject," a voice comes from behind that makes Armenia spin around in fear.
She recognizes the man, King Theo. Armenia backed down against a wall, "please I am lost."
"You are not lost, you are exactly where you need to be," King Theo says as he slowly walks over to her to sink his teeth into her.
Prince Duncan wakes up by the fear from Armenia. He focuses and tries to see what she sees, trying to figure out where she is.
Prince Duncan recognizes King Theo and jumps out of bed, running as fast as he can to get to Armenia.
Prince Duncan grabs King Theo and throws him aside, “she is mine.”
King Theo wipes his mouth, “really? I don’t remember you claiming her yesterday.”
“She is mine,” Prince Duncan says, sweeping a fear-filled Armenia into his arms.
“You know she is not of royal descent?” King Theo asks sarcastically.
“I have mated with her so she must have royal heritage somewhere down the line,” Prince Duncan says, walking off with Armenia, wrapping her arms tightly around him.
Prince Duncan walks past a vampire and comes to a halt, “please seal her wound.”
The vampire puts spit on his fingers and applies it to her neck before walking off.
‘How did King Theo manage to drink from her if she has Vampire blood in her?’ Prince Duncan wonders as he lays Armenia down on his bed.
“Don’t try and run away again,” he tells her, holding her chin, making sure she hears and sees him.
Duncan left her in the room to have breakfast with his family like he usually does.
