Chapter 24: Drink My Blood
Aleksander woke up to the banging of his temples – he was having a light migraine.
It always happened when he abstained from blood even just for a day. Although it wasn’t life threatening yet, it was still undeniably troublesome and annoying.
His day didn’t start great right away, making his already sour mood from yesterday worse.
He raised his hands over to massage his head, his eyes still shut tight as if denying the fact that he was already awake. He wanted to rest yet again, uninterested to do anything before getting his sustenance of fresh blood.
Hopefully Henry would find someone fast.
Just as Aleksander was about to return to sleep, throwing all care for what he had planned for the day, his eyes suddenly fluttered open.
His heightened hearing had caught something intriguing.
"Your highness? I have arrived with the woman," he heard the attendant call out from the other side of the manor.
Apparently, Henry had brought a woman whose thoughts were running wild with a mixture of hope and dread.
He nearly forgot, but the prince was instantly reminded he was now married to a slave who boldly demanded for a maidservant last night.
Aleksander decided to take a look for himself. It was interesting that Henry brought one immediately. He didn’t expect the maidservant to arrive so soon.
