{War Knocking At Your Doorstep}
The attack came unexpected in the break of dawn. Charles let the knights to the battle field. Azriel had to keep Anastasia safe no matter the cost. "Rose take Guinevere to safety. I will not loose my wife" Azriel said.
Rose rushed to Anastasia's room. "Come with me" Rose said. Anastasia followed Rose with Hannah by her side. "What is going on?" Anastasia asked. "We're under attack" Rose replied. She used her sword to fight off the assassin blocking the path.
"Where are you taking us your highness?" Hannah asked. "To safety.... It's not safe for you here" Rose said. "Are you taking the entire class?" Anastasia asked. "No just you" Rose said.
"Why?" Anastasia asked. "Guinevere, please I'll explain all this later but now just do as you're told" Rose said. They went underneath the castle, there was an ancient door. Rose opened it, she pushed Hannah and Anastasia inside the room.
"You're safe here.... No one would find you here" Rose shut the door and locked it with a spell from the outside. The room had no window, the door disappeared. There's only a toilet, food in the cupboard and books on the table.
It looked like this preparation was done before hand and they've been expecting this attack. The problem that hunts Anastasia's thoughts is the fact that she's the one who's trapped in here.
Rose returned to the battle field. She's glad she heard about the attack yesterday, that gave her the time to take Adeline far from the country. "Brother she's safe" Rose said to Azriel, who has been waiting for the results.
"Good, now no holding back" Azriel said as he charged. He fought with grace, his every movement was precise. "Azriel my dear friend.... It has been a while" Andrew said.
"Andrew" Azriel hissed. "I see you're holding back.... So the rumors about you finally finding yourself a wife" Andrew said. "I don't have one... You're mistaken" Azriel said. "Don't worry, I know she's here. You can't hide her forever"
Azriel charged at Andrew, both men fought like they have been waiting for this opportunity for a life time. With every strike Azriel could feel Anastasia in pain.
Luke used magical arrows to push Andrew away. "You're holding back your majesty" Luke said. "Guinevere is in pain.... I can't go all in with her getting hurt" Luke said. Rose used her flames to block enemies from approaching Azriel.
"She has to mark you" Luke said. "Have you lost your damn mind? If we exposed her they'll kill her" Charles said. "No... I will not put her in danger. I will hold on a little longer" Azriel said.
Despite the fact the he was holding back because he still managed to kill the enemy. "I know where she's hiding Azriel... I have found her" Andrew said. Azriel looks at Luke who nods once.
In the room Anastasia crawled up in bed, shaking in pain. She couldn't bare it any longer. The room shuck violently. "I know you're in here Azriel's wife" The man said from outside. Luke arrives just in time. He used his magic to distract the man.
"Surrender your wife now Azriel and we shall call this even" Andrew said. "No" Azriel said menacingly. Andrew fought with everything he got but Azriel is still stronger than him.
Anastasia screams as she was been pulled by magic outside the building. Azriel quickly noticed. "Guinevere" He murmured.
With lightning speed he ran to the man and killed him with precise movement. Anastasia feel from the sky but Azriel caught her.
He signals everyone too meet him behind a building. He placed Anastasia on the ground to sit. Everyone met him immediately. "Is she hurt?" Charles asked. "My entire body aches" Anastasia said. Azriel up pacing like a mad dog. "I will fucking end his life" Azriel said.
"You can't use your full power or she'll die" Luke said. "What?" Anastasia said in fear. "What's the other way out?" Rose asked. "The marking" Luke said.
Azriel sat beside Anastasia with his face buried in his palms. This is the first time Anastasia has seen him so vulnerable. "What do I need to do?" Anastasia asked surprising everyone.
"No I can't let you do it" Azriel said. "All you have to do is bite him on the neck" Luke said. Anastasia took a deep breath. "Alright" Anastasia said. "No" Azriel said. "Look I don't know what's going on but I know you need my help and your people needs you. I don't mind biting your neck" Anastasia said.
Azriel exhaled a shaky breath. Anastasia sat on Azriel's laps, placing her face directly on his neck. Azriel could only hold back his breath, he could feel her warm breath on his neck.
Anastasia bit him across the neck. Azriel let's out a low moan. "Go deeper" Azriel said in a whisper. Anastasia bit as hard as she could. "Good bite him till you feel that tingling sensation" Luke said
She couldn't focus because Azriel's voice sent something cold down her spine. She bit into his flesh. "Fuck" Azriel gasped. Anastasia pulled back. "Don't stop... Please don't stop" Azriel said.
Anastasia bit harder this time and this was the moment she felt the tingling. His blood was hot, it tastes good, she didn't want to pull away. Azriel groans in pleasure. "Luke I have the urge to bite her... Is that normal" Azriel asked fighting himself.
"Yes" With that reply Azriel pulled back. "I'm sorry this might sting a bit" Azriel buried his teeth inside her neck. Anastasia screamed in pain, she felt something warm entering her vain. She pulled Azriel by his hair, she needed to anchor herself.
When he was done he slowly licked the wound. He carried her from his lap and hands her over to Charles. Azriel kissed her gently on her head. "Wait for me I won't take long" Azriel said.
Azriel left the building, walking back to the battle field. Each step he took his enemies flesh would melt. It felt like he had unlocked a power he never knew existed.
Screams filled the ground, he was like the embodiment of hell fire. He didn't need to fight, all he did was to take a step and everyone would evaporate. He stood in front of Andrew.
"You dare to hurt my wife.... This will be your fate" Azriel said. Andrew screams in pain. "Who are you working for?" Azriel asked. "I would rather die" Andrew said. "Very well then, say hi to Asmodeus for me in hell" Azriel said.
Andrew flew to the sky and was torn to shreds. The ground was filled with blood, dead bodies, knights injured. Charles carried Anastasia to Azriel. She had blue lines like veins across her body.
"Now you may use your power whichever way you like and she won't be harmed" Luke said. "You were brave little dove" Azriel said softly. "But excess power still flows inside her... You have to remove it" Luke said.
"How?" Charles asked. "Intimacy" Luke said. "No way... Hell no" Rose said. "How about a kiss?" Azriel asked. "That could be effective" Luke reasoned. "Take her to my room, I'll be there shortly" Azriel said
He went to his Zain. "Is everyone alright?" Azriel asked. "Yes your majesty, you go rest. I'll bring feed back to your room" Zain requested. "Alright" Azriel said.
