Chapter 8: Two Couples

Lenora and Maximus returned to the ball. Now, the soon-to-be couples have to dance with their partners for the opening dance. Both men were adorned in black suits. Zaros was adorned with a Charcoal black suit, with his hair parted and jelled back, showing his beautiful facial features. Maybe because of the royal blood in his veins, he wasn't sickly pale like the other vampires. He looked handsome. "Would you like to dance with me, My lady?" Zaros asked as he extended his hand to her. Adira just smiled at him and extended her hand to him. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw him closer, which was caught by his sharp ears. A smile formed on his face when he realized that he was affecting her; he felt like he was flying in clouds. His heart leaped in joy. He wanted to laugh, yell, and shout, but he kept himself in check. He never got as attracted to any female as he was now. He felt amused that a Werewolf woman made him whiplash with her charms. And again, she didn't do anything that made him lust for her. These were all his feelings. It's as if his inner self was asking him to love her with his heart and prove it with sinful deeds. This woman could kill him sooner or later. The moment Adira stepped out of her chair, she was immediately swooped into the air, and when she was about to digest the fact, he pulled her closer, so close to the point that their bodies were touching each other. They moved along with the music. As they swayed, their bodies touched along with each other, and sparks emanated between them. Zaros could hear the blood rushing up and down every time her chest or his body touched him or her accidentally. If he could, he wanted to say fuck the marriage and have his with her. But he has to wait. Even though she looked like she wasn't dormant, she was still innocent of the world of men. Werewolves were meant to be loyal to their partner; they won't be taught about the things between a man and woman till she finds her mate. Her purity, her innocence, her strong character, her confidence, her analysis, and her timidness made his heart itch. She is a cute thing. "My dear wife, you are adorable," he whispered in her ear. Instantly, all the blood rushed to her face, her face turned redder as the blush started to creep on her face, neck, and the back of her neck too. He wondered if her blush reached her breast; if it did, he wanted to lick the way that a blush crept into her chest. Zaros took a deep breath to calm himself. Oh, god, he was getting turned on. 1 Iampires were genderless beings, but as they turned humans into vampires, they introduced the gender system to them. The originals never cared if they slept with a man or a woman. But with the presence of humans in their race, they evolved a few rules that existed in humans while adding their own rules to them. Maybe because Zaros was a Vampire turned by the Original, his desires were getting stronger. The need for lust was increasing in his body. He tried to tell himself it was not good to scare his wife like this. —-------- Meanwhile… Maximus and Lenora started dancing. "You look good closer, My dear Royal Escort," Lenora commented as she looked into him. "I like your green eyes," she added, looking at you. "And?" he asked, raising his eyes. "You are handsome," she admitted. "You are quite brave to say these things to a man," he said. "Well, that man would be my lifetime escort," Lenora said. "You are versed," he said. "Well, I should be. I shouldn't look any less than my husband, right?" she asked. "These things and words make me want to run away with you and make love to you," he said. "You shall wait," she said as she blushed. She faked a cough to cover up her blush, but it didn't work. Maximus looked at the woman in front of him, who was trying to prove that she was confident and knew everything. Indeed, she is confident; not, she knows a lot of things but still, but there was still a certain part of her stoicent. Her silvery eyes said many unsaid stories. They are much more talkative than her mouth. He could say that when she said she wanted to leave vampires, she meant it. The lips that were talking to him were all riddlesshe was weaving for him to solve. Those confused eyes were begging him to clear her confusion. Her beautiful face was narrating to him a quest, asking him to solve. Her presence is like a hidden treasure, tempting him to claim her. Her body was heaven that pulled him closer to conquer the deepest, hidden aspects of her. In short, she was someone whom he was attracted to. "What secrets are you hiding, Rabbit?" he asked. "Something you won't like to hear," she says. "I like the things that everyone hates," he replied to her. "Trust me, when I say you will hate me. You would," she replied. Soon, the song ended they ended their dance with a bow. There was dinner served for them, and they ate before they went to their rooms. —--------- Adira was getting restless without Zaros. And a Vampire mate… she was confused about this. Walking around, even though it was morning, she just went into her brother's wing. "Brother," she calls. When she didn't find him, she knew he would be in his study. Werewolves can survive sunlight, but they will turn weak. And they exude a faint scent that says they were werewolves. Killing a werewolf during the daytime is very easy. So, to avoid them, they sleep during the day and walk around during the moon. "Brother," she calls Maximus when she reaches his study.
