1. Blood

MORGANA

The following day, Kian once again laid low whilst I left to talk to my brother. Blood had been sent to my room, but there was only one type I drank now, and that was my mates. The handsome, god-like man who was everything a girl could dream of and more.

I had pulled on a high neck, sleeveless, maroon crushed velvet dress which fell to the floor with slits down each side, paired with a small tiara and heels. I had decided I would visit my brother’s quarters, because I really wanted to see my nephew!

With Azrael, he surely wouldn’t even let me look at him. I looked down at the pouch in my hand.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) It wasn’t much… But it was the first time that I was meeting my nephew, so I wouldn’t come empty-handed.

The guards that flanked the doors of the king’s quarters didn’t look surprised to see me, it seemed word had gotten around that I was back. They bowed to me and I smiled faintly.

“Let the queen know that I’m here.” I stated.

One of them nodded and opened the door, telling the servant standing inside to pass the message. I waited patiently, and a few minutes later, I was told to enter and to follow the lady i n waiting.

I walked through the luxurious halls, picking up on the scent of my nephew instantly. It was strange, but since Kian had marked me my sense of smell was a lot stronger. Something I didn’t even notice; it had just come to me.

“Morgana!” Anastasia’s voice came rushing out of the archway that led to their personal lounge.

“Anastasia.” I said.

We weren’t exactly close. After all, Azrael and I clashed a lot and I was kept at a distance from his personal life. No doubt he didn’t trust that I wouldn’t tell Anastasia what a sleazebag he was. I now hugged my sister-in-law. She looked the same as ever; her hair pinned into an elegant bun, a small crown upon her head and she wore a deep plum coloured dress.

“And she comes to cast her negativity upon my son.” Azrael’s voice came.

Anastasia said nothing, giving me a small apologetic smile, but it wasn’t him I was here for.

“Oh, he has enough negativity from you. I dare not add to that. What is his name?” I asked, walking beside Anastasia into the lounge.

“Remiel.” Anastasia said as I spotted the child in my brother’s hands.

My heart skipped a beat. I made my way towards them, staring down at my gorgeous little

nephew. He was… beautiful. Emotions surged through me and I reached out for him, not even reacting to the fact that Azrael allowed me to hold him. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)He was so light! His deep red eyes were staring up at me with curiosity.

“Remiel… He’s beautiful.” I whispered, taking a seat as I cradled the child to my chest, inhaling his full head of black hair. He was at least a few weeks old…

“Thank you.” Anastasia said.

I pray that you are not like your father, grow to be a king that your grandfather would be proud of.

“Why did you come here unannounced?” Azrael spoke after a while. I was glad he had allowed me a few moments with Remiel, who was currently holding my finger.

“I wanted to see him.” I said, easing my hand out of his grip and opening the pouch that I had been holding tightly in my other hand.

Instantly, Azrael had Remiel from my hold, his hand closing around my neck. Anastasia gasped but I simply looked at Azrael. Never have I felt so disappointed… He really didn’t know me, did he really think I’d hurt my nephew?
