Enemy of my desire

{Warning: Contains mature content} *Volume 1: Prologue Seventeen years ago, in 1770, Irina's name was whispered in the Kingdom where she lived. They called her barren and women her age would make fun of her as she was unable to bare a child. At the age of twenty five, she felt like the only woman in the Kingdom without a child. Seventeen years of marriage yet there was no child. As Irina walked down the hill, the moon light glowed upon the cursed river. Some of the people say it is cursed and water is poisoned, others say it is blessing. Desperate to end the mockery, Irina seek to find help here. She continued to walk barefoot, her feet bleeding from stepping on rocks and stones. She glanced back to see if anyone was following her. Who would dare follow her to a place like this? Upon reaching the river bank, Irina fell on her knees, wailing and begging for the river to help her. She need a child. After spending an hour there with no answers, she stood up to leave. All hope was lost at this point. There was no way for her. “Irina.” I heard a soft voice from the water. Emerging from the water, was a tall figure. She has long flowing black hair that reached her waist. She was more beautiful than any woman in the Kingdom and Irina was amazed. As she rises out of the water, she sang a melody that could reach the ears of many. It drew the creatures in the river closer to her. Yet beneath that beauty was someone dangerous. “Dear child,” she mumbled. “I heard your wailing from my sleep. Your tears flowed down to my chamber." She fell back on her knees, her eyes burning with tears. She was a siren, the most beautiful creature of the water. “I will bless you with a child,” she promised. Irina's heart flooded with happiness at her words. “But there is one condition.....” .... In a desperate act of self defence, Anastasia killed the King, after he tried to sleep with her. Now captured by the guards to face execution, dread filled her. Before the commander could strike her with the sword, a commanding voice sounded through the air. “The girl is mine to judge. You will not touch her.” Anastasia meets gaze with the dark Prince, a cold shiver ran through her spine at the realization that his mercy might be far worse than the sentence. *Volume 2: After Anastasia is discovered in Abyss Veil, she has no recollection of her past. She knows not to trust anyone. Escaping from the house, she returned to the ocean. There, she's captured by pirates and sold out to a man she never expected to see again, Scientist George.

As shocking secrets are revealed, gods clash, Lycans wage war against vampires, and the world is into chaos again.

Chapter 18

When Anastasia opened her eyes again, it was dark. This time, she was feeling extremely weak. The drip was still on, and she knew that any moment from now, she was going to die.

The man came up to check on her, and Anastasia couldn't even say a word. She was very weak. She turned her head and locked eyes with the mermaid in the glass tube. The mermaid's scales were peeling off, and she looked so pale that she was turning blue.

When the man brought a syringe near her neck, her eyes widened. "What are you doing?" She asked. "No... No... Please..." She shook her head. Before the syringe could penetrate into her skin, she screamed.

This time, the man staggered backward, the syringe falling from his hand, and he gazed at her intently. She continued to scream, not stopping. The man brought his hands to cover his ears, but that didn't stop her scream from piercing in. "W... what is going on?" He asked.

Anastasia, who was feeling all weak and drained, felt a sudden power wash through her. She tried to stop herself from screaming, as she knew that the man might find out about her identity. Her face was turning bluish, with scales forming on her skin.

As the man fell on his knees, Lucas rushed in, grabbing her neck, and she suddenly felt quiet. He continued to strangle her, and she was slowly giving up.

When she thought she would die any moment from now, the door suddenly burst open, and she saw Cassius walk in. Anastasia didn't know why, but she felt relief flood in. She suddenly felt safe.

Cassius, with rage boiling through him, grabbed Lucas from the ground and threw him across the wall. Lucas was quick to get himself back on his feet and went after Cassius. But he was not strong enough to pull Cassius down. Cassius grabbed his neck, pinning him to the wall. "Trying to hurt her... Uhh?" He asked. "You think that would make you the next King?"

"At least that would stop you from becoming the next King of Blackwood Kingdom," Lucas sneered. "I hate you, Cassius," he said back. "I should be the next King of this Kingdom, not you. I'm the one who's been loyal to father, who worked to make this Kingdom what it is today, and now you would be the next King? No!"

"She would be dead soon, and I would gain the trust of the Elders! They would think I am the right one for the throne," Lucas spat.

"You'll never sit on that throne," Cassius whispered in a cold, unforgiving voice. In the blink of an eye, he plunged his hand into Lucas's chest and pulled out his heart. Lucas choked on his blood before falling to the ground. Cassius stared at the black heart before throwing it on Lucas's corpse.

Turning around to face Anastasia, he didn't see her. She was gone. The glass tube was open, and it looked like the mermaid inside was also gone.

Instantly, Cassius turned worried that the mermaid in the tube had taken Anastasia away to harm her. Where was she? Cassius didn't know what to think at the moment, as he somehow felt afraid that the mermaid had harmed Anastasia.

He swore to kill the mermaid if something happened to Ana. Then he thought about the fact that she had killed his father, and the people would want to kill her too if they saw her. He had sworn to take her life himself, and now he was afraid someone else would kill her.

As he continued to walk, he saw the sky darken and the evening breeze slam against his skin. He searched for her, trying to find her scent, but it scattered through the air. Her scent was not leading him in any particular direction.

Suddenly, the rain started falling, and his clothes were soaked. When he couldn't find her after about half an hour, he blamed himself for not saving her earlier.

But why was he feeling this way? Shouldn't he be at least happy that she would soon die, and there would be no more distractions when he becomes the King?

But no, Cassius wanted to take her life himself, not someone else. She had to be somewhere around. He could still feel her; she was not dead yet. But she felt anxious. Anxious about what? Was she running from the mermaid? He sniffed in again, but the wind had scattered her scent everywhere.

After two hours of searching the surroundings for Anastasia, he came across a cottage house. Her scent felt strong around the cottage, and he decided to go in. When he went inside, he saw Anastasia lying on the ground, surrounded by her blood. She was bleeding profusely. But that wasn't the only thing Cassius noticed. He also saw that there were scales on part of her body. What happened?
