His Machinations

Snow's P.O.V

I opened my eyes the Track leader hovered above me.

"What are you doing here? You know no one is supposed to enter my room without my permission." I lifted myself from the floor, I must have fallen unconscious. Seeing that I'm not human that alone is to make someone question if I am a pureblood. In my machinations, I can't have that.

She opened her mouth.

"It doesn't matter what your excuse is, I was going to summon you anyway." She stood and backed up for my space. I grabbed the track files and flipped through the pages.

"So, who is this new human that runs in front of my manor, that you just so happened to leave out in our last conference. According to the papers he joined the day before." She gulped in response.

"Didn't we make a deal that if you keep me updated you can keep your humanity and I won't torture you to death." I didn't budge but I knew she was staring at me shacking.

 

"I could do a lot to you. Your human so it would be very easy to break you. If that doesn't scare you then what do you think your family will think." I said.

"Oh, um. His name is Lucius Silvia Caecer. He is 17 and lives with his mother Marni, twins Izuka and Azusa, and one more on the way." I blinked bored out of my mind as the last of the jog team ran past. To be young and alive again. Then what she said clicked.

"You said Azusa and Izuka."

"Um, yes."

So not only have you returned to me but you brought our comrades as well. Do you want me again, but what about last time. Do you remember, can you remember?

"Um, Master?" I glared at her in response.

"It would seem he suffers disorders as well, such as OCD, and PBA, also known as Pseudobulbar affect, or emotional incontinence." I tilted my head staring at her reading from the extra files in her arms.

"It's a type of emotional disturbance characterized by uncontrollable episodes of crying and/or laughing, or other emotional displays. PBA occurs secondary to a neurologic disorder or brain injury. He additionally has trust issues."

  "What makes you think that I'll care about that. What matters is that my beloved is in one piece." Shit. Did I just say that. I looked at my-our bed. We did share it at one point.

"Master, are you-"

"Prepare my proposal, and get Falingan, Shamir, and Elgrid." I interrupted her but she just stood with a concerned look. She opened her mouth.

"Now!" I said. She stood there. Certainly there was something wrong with her. I hissed at her showing my fangs and she scampered off. This new track member must be a part of Helios's court, but anytime that the convulsions happen it was always one part of me, not my entire body.

Unless this boy? This man? This human, This beloved. My thought sent a strange feeling into my hand. Him, just focus on him, what he would feel like, his eyes staring into my-, STOP.

You can't think like this. You can't think of his beautiful skin his hand around my neck. We could lower and he'll relax and I shouldn't. I can feel his hair against my face, as I lean down his neck and I could just-

I swallowed the demon seeming out of my fangs. Are you Helios himself?

Anata no kokoro ga arimasuga, anata wa sore o ukeiremasu ka?

My thoughts sifted but they were interrupted by the door.

Pain shot into my diaphragm and it clenched. I leaned down onto the windowsill, my knees grazed the mahogany carpeted floor. His scent drifted into the room my lungs, sore from all the pain, filled with his scent. I opened my mouth breathing violently.

"Master." Shamir's voice came from the door. He cupped my cheek and undid his scarf and leather jacket, he relaxed and leaned off to the side.

I can feel my instincts crawling over my bones. I pushed him to the ground kissing his neck. I closed my eyes, fangs entered so deep inside Helios's flesh. I felt his blood enter my fangs through the tiny tubes in my fangs and into my mouth. I pulled his skin his blood going around my fangs directly onto my tongue. Helios's hands wrapt around my chest. No, they weren't his, the arms were too thick. I pulled out and kissed him our tongues swirled his fang, Helios doesn't have fangs, this was someone else. One of my progenies, but when did I turn him?

I pulled off and Shamir lay under me. He looked at me and adjusted, I had thought Shamir was Helios-him.

"Are you satiated, my lord?" his voice had a slight Australian tone to it.

"I was satiated before you came." I sat next to him allowing him to lean up.

"You are here for a reason of course." I looked at the bite mark I made. I thought, I thought he was. Gods I need more control.

"Second Commander Star has," He looked off to the side.

"Created a scene" I sighed Star he's very useful but he does this sometimes. I followed Shamir out into the hall. Sometimes as in He does this any time he's bored. Now that I think about it that's all the time.

"I sent the human to prepare the proposal, but that pathetic waste manages to ruin anything she touches. Send her back to her job and take care of it." Shamir bowed.

  "Please." I whispered curses to myself. I sighed and walked out to the throne room using the west hall, The guards bowed to me as I walked past. I opened the door leaned against the pillar holding up the ceiling.

My 'second-in-command' protested against me to a small group beside him. Kusari was there next to him. She 'agreed' with everything Star said or believed, playing him up, she became his favourite toy. She 'followed' him like a lost puppy, ten feet was the farthest I've seen her from him. Even if he doesn't want her around she follows him, it's gotten to the point where he doesn't want her away now.

He feels naked without her. How sad that everything Star thinks she is, is wrong. She listens to him, spying, and if I don't catch it she does. She's one of the most useful and loyal to me.

"We will be led by a madman. We, though reluctant, must consider a future and reality without our master. Of course, tragic, but as second in command, I will be a better Lord and Master than-." He said.

"Is that so Star??" I approached him. He was on the stairs to my throne. Everyone stared at me. They bowed to me, as Star stood shocked. How much Did You hear?! It was all over his face.

"Ah... M-Master I, ah, well I was just saying if you were to....." I stepped toward him, he began to back up and fell on to the stairs. I grinned at him, weakness, how Quaint.

"Um. Well, if you were to, uh, Meet your untimely demise we would need to prepare." I glared at him his face showed true horrors. I was already at the top of the stairs about to sit at my throne when he realized I wasn't going to hurt him, and turned to face me. I turned around and addressed my servants.

"I have no purpose on diminishing anytime soon and yes I know of your insurrection. Including how some of you wish to be relieved of my machinations. Do I make myself clear." One by one they bowed to me again.

"And when you find anyone who is a part of this pathetic rebellion, when you turn them in,  you shall be rewarded." I waited a moment.

 "What do you want Mokusatsu?" She approached me after she bowed. She doesn't talk, it's not that she can't talk it's just that she doesn't. She gives me sign language if I'm lucky. Despite her silent appearance, she is very reliable, beyond her being the eyes and ears of my manoeuvres. I sigh as she points to the Grand Doors that marks my entrance.

"Yes, I have become aware of the ride that has been assembled outside my home." I could tell that Falingan drabbled outside before coming inside to get me. I was already standing when he burst through the door. He ran before halting before the first step.

"My lord-" He said.

"I know." I had interrupted him. He looked up at me baffled before seeing Mokusatsu. I stepped down the stairs and past him. I knew how he felt about her. His wish is to replace her but she had been with me since the very beginning.

Falingan will only follow me to a point. In the end, if I choose him over her my kingdom will fall to pieces, and my beloved wouldn't have that. What kind of Prince would I be if I couldn't help my obbsession? Lover? Senpai? Whatever.

I find Falingan quite useless; I would dispose of him if he wasn't so hilariously pathetic.

I stepped into the car, time to meet my Lucius.
