Author's P. O. V.

"We have been attacked"

Zia's blood ran cold as she heard James, now she at least knew James was no threat, he was always with Tyler and... Things needed to be figured out.

Sooner

"How?" Tyler asked, he was confused, no one can dare to stand up to the vampire King then how the hell did they get attacked?

"The scream," he said as his eyes traveled to Zia for a second. Tyler noticed his hesitation, he knew Tyler had not told her about him being a vampire.

Tyler nodded his head as James licked his lips, " Your scream was loud enough to be heard in all nine realms, they got to know that someone took the resistance stone from you, they know, they can have a chance to be at the throne of the World, " James said as Zia looked at him shocked.

"What are we going to do now?" She asked, Tyler tried to get up from her lap, he was feeling weak as hell but he needed to win this battle.

"What we always do, fight them, win against them," he got up from great difficulty as he said that.

"But you are in pain," Zia said as Tyler rubbed his chest.

Yes he was still in pain, and he will be until he gets back the resistance stone in his chest but he was going to fight.

"I will be fine, my love," he said as he caressed her cheek.

"But--"

"I need to fight, my beloved, my people need me," Zia did not take her eyes off him as she nodded.

"We shall hurry, they will be here any second, " James said as he looked at Zia, he believed she was a human, and Tyler knew what he was hinting at.

"Zia, you need to hide," Tyler said as he stood straight, he will just pretend to be fine until he is actually fine.

"But why?" She asked.

"They will try to enter the castle at any cost, they know the resistance stone is not in my body anymore, they will try to find it and you have it, you need to hide, you need to keep yourself safe because you are my weakness," Tyler said as Zia's lips thinned in a line.

"Take it back then, " she advised as she picked the resistance stone in her hands.

Its light glowed as she looked at him. " Take it back, Tyler," she said trying to keep it on his chest but as it should have dissolved in his chest it did not.

"What's happening? Why is it not going in your chest?" James asked as he watched them both.

"Because I am not taking it back until I find every reason of yours to steal it," he said as he looked at Zia and kept the resistance stone in her hands.

"Tyler I will tell you every truth but at this moment, you need it, it's the source of your power," Zia said.

"It is but I am not taking it back until I get to know every reason," he was adamant.

"Tyler that's practically suicide, you will die on the battlefield," she said to him totally frustrated by his lack of understanding, he was acting like a five-year-old child.

"Until you're alive, I am alive," he made her fist the stone as he looked at her.

"No one can enter this library until I let them in, you are safe here, do not step out," Tyler said to her lovingly before he pecked her lips.

"Don't die," she said as he joined their foreheads together.

"I won't," he said before he walked out of the library with James who was already out of the door.

"Why are you doing this Tyler?" James asked as they picked their swords.

"I need to know who are the rats in my kingdom, who have the desire to stand up to me, fight me and kill me, "He said as James nodded.

Zia looked around the library that had a few windows to it, they have been probably closed for the last 300 years.

She looked at the red color stone in her hand, it is what she came there for. It is what she needed because of her reasons.

It is the reason she nearly killed her beloved a few minutes ago.

It is the reason he bore the pain.

The stone started to shine as it lit the entire library in its red color, she stepped back, she did not know what was happening to this stone and to what extent powers it held.

On the other hand, Tyler looked at the vampire army that stood behind him, he turned his head at the king of another realm.

"Mike, " Tyler nodded at him

" Tyler," he said in Tyler's room as if it left a burn on his tongue.

"Never knew you'd stand up to killing me so soon, thought you were a friend," Tyler said. He actually had nice relations with Mike's Kingdom and the vampires had actually fought from his side not too long ago against the reporters.

"You were the king of all realms, even though you are no good with skills just because of the resistance stone, you had all the powers when you were not even worthy," Mike said as he showed his true colors.

Tyler smiled, the ones he thought were in his support are the ones who wants to kill him on the first chance.

"You deserve this," Tyler murmured under his breath before he signaled his army to attack.

He started to fight with Mike with his sword as mike attacked back.

James was right beside him fighting against Mike's second in command.

Tyler's chest pained once again as he glanced at the window of the library for a second.

He needed to make sure his beloved, his Zia was fine. His eyes widened when he saw red color light illuminating the window.

The resistance stone never reacted to this. What is happening?

Without wasting any other second he called James as he looked at him still fighting with Mike's second in command.

" Handle them, she needs me,"
