16 Sit Opposite Him

Zadok strides down the stairs slowly but in a Kingship manner. His head held high, his hair packed in a high ponytail, his cape flowing behind him and the armoury and glittery outfit that's on him makes real sense.

Haley, Lorn and Gandrel are seated on the dining chairs and having breakfast, laughing heartily as they chat and eat. Nate is nowhere to be found and that isn't some new drama put up by him.

He is always late for any meal. The only time that he do not appear to be late is when he's extremely hungry. And that do causes anger. Sometimes, he bites and suck out the blood of humans.

Don't get me wrong, Nate is a vampire, Gandrel is a fox. Haley and Lorn are mystic wolves.

While Zadok is the head of all foxes, wolves and vampires. He is the fourth son coming from the wolf that begged for the others for freedom and safety from Gandras.

But they prefer calling her Mally. It's more suitable than Gandras judging by her appearance.

Zadok takes a seat and the maids open the plate in front of him, making the sight of red sausage with chicken nuggets hits his eyes. Sprinkled all over is the blood of his game last night.

He don't know whether or not to be happy about killing those animals.

The napkin on the table is close to the small container full with his games blood. Incase he doesn't feel comfortable and enough with the blood sprinkled on the food.

When the maids and servants departs, he uses his knife to cut out a small piece of the red sausage. He eyes it for a little while and then raises it to his lips.

Immediately he places the piece of sausage on his tongue, Nate enters and walks with two female wolves beside him.

Zadok eyes him hysterically and narrows his eyes at him as he chewed his food.

Oooof! This is going to be good...

"Well, hello your highness"

Zadok doesn't reply, instead, he creases an eyebrow at him.

"Have I offended his Majesty?"

Zadok eyes leaves the eyes of Nate and then scans the whole bodies of the ladies in front of him.

They aren't even ashamed of themselves.

They have pieces of cloth covering all their private parts, the rest are left exposed. Each lady craving to keep Nate in their hands.

"Leave before I have a need of your heads"

The ladies stands at attention immediately and quickly leaves the presence of Zadok as Nate continue walking to where Haley and the rest are seated to have a seat.

"Well, Good morning, Prince" Nate says mockingly and arrogantly.

"You know you are getting on everyone's nerves here" Lorn retorts, but Nate doesn't look at his side.

He is wasting his time for all he cares.

"How is our lovely doing?"

Haley smacks his hand, stretching hers across the table just to reach him.

Zadok focus his gaze on the vampire who is obviously drunk of blood. He says nothing to reply Nate, but lifts his cup to his lips to sip from the content.

"You are being stubborn this morning. What have you done?"

Nate turns his gaze to Haley and grabs her hand aggressively.

"Want to know what I've done?"

"Nate!" Zadok hushed without having any punishing expression on his face.

But even when the Prince is as calm as a tortoise, his anger can be everlasting and killing...

Though... Most times, It is killing.

"Let. Go of her"

Nate cat-eyes shifts from Zadok to Haley, who is now staring at him with trembling fingers and guts.

He lets go of her hand softly, making her to rush to the next seat.

Now everyone is away from Nate, who is drunk of too many human blood.

"Why can't you stick that irritating butt of yours on a seat, don't you have manners? Now look at you!" Gandrel hushes in a very stern manner.

"You are a fox. Why will you know what blood is to vampires?"

"Don't act like you don't know that foxes, also eat humans"

"What about bite?"

"Are you this senseless? Without biting, how will we overpower them?"

"Enough!"

All eyes now on Zadok, who has a raised piece of sausage sticking to his lips, trying to make a passway to enter his mouth.

"Nate, you need to stop this hunger for much blood. If your type is around the world, I am pretty sure humans will go extinct and never return"

Sharp and straightforward as ever, Zadok releases words that goes out like bullets, targeting Nate and getting the target point accurately, in his heart.

Nate vampire personality is spreading like a wild fire and other vampires in the cursed land is picking it quickly.

"Get out! Who knows if Zyla comes down here, the next thing you'll do is bite her. Her blood might smell as sweet as a grape vine when you see her..."

Haley and the others, including Nate's expression didn't change, but inside... Some kind of electronic excitement sparks in the both of them as they stare at Zadok in assurance that the curse laid on them, will be broken soon.

"Out Nate!"

Nate stands up slowly and walks out with his arms out in the air. Immediately the door closes, the door in which Zadok came in from (the back door) opens up, and in comes Zyla.

She got a warrior suit on.

"Huh... I guess you brought other clothes" Gandrel mutters.

Zyla says nothing, but stands there like a soldier waiting to be arrested.

Her eyes are on Zadok and his eyes are on her. Each analyzing each other like righteous but aggressive enemies.

"Umm... Good morning Zyla, how was your night?"

"Fine. I guess" Zyla mutters hesitantly.

Her eyes still on him and his still on hers.

"Mind taking a seat?" Lorn asks

"All the seats are occupied"

"Sit here"

Zyla stares at the seat pointed at for her to sit by Zadok. He pointed at a seat opposite him, and thinking of sharing a table with him makes her feel... There's this tingly and growling sensation in her stomach that's arousing her.

{But this is a stranger... Calm down Zyla}

{ breathed in and out several times before I take one step forward}

This is very embarrassing and... This is torture!

No matter how Zyla look at it, she still ended up sitting opposite Zadok.
