Chapter 16: Golden Danger
Vampires were known to have unique abilities that far surpass that of humans. Their magical affinities start to develop from the very first moment they breath. With some even manifesting as early as a few days from birth.
But unlike what people might think of him, Aleksander wasn’t exceptionally great when he was born. It took his mother a while to discover his affinities, since it wasn’t at all that noticeable. His powers were invisible to the eyes to say the least.
Elys didn’t expect Aleksander to be laughing at all. Not when she just had sliced his throat open. She was certain she had injured him... but why was he laughing like a maniac?!
The princess pushed the vampire prince away from her, sensing there was something definitely wrong with their set-up. But as hard as she exerted her strength, Aleksander didn’t budge from his embrace. The Northern princess was dumbfounded.
"Why are you still much alive?" Elys spoke with dread in her voice.
Aside from the fact that Elys couldn’t budge from his deadly arms, she realized he had clutched her wrists tightly too. She knew the vampires were strong, but she had always thought she could fight them head on. She had always been one of the strongest from her peers back at the North, but now it looked like she was not even strong enough.
Aleksander let out one final laugh before his head tilted upwards. His silver pools had now turned into golden orbs – a sign that screamed danger to Elys. Her gaze slid downwards to his neck, and where she had sliced him moments before was now appallingly – clean.
"Did you see something nice to be staring at me like that?" Aleksander grinned at her.
"I see something that should be dead," Elys retorted sharply.
