Valerian Empire

A dark time when the creatures of shadow descended unto the tranquil human lands, making their existence known. A time followed when empires were led by humanity's conspiracy and betrayal, a time filled with hatred, but unbeknownst to the humans, they were only mere puppets, pawns of greater beings of darkness, entities with the power to crush anything and everything in their way. What happens when a small human girl catches the eye of one of these so-called greater beings, a pureblooded Lord? Can an ant such as her survive the political strifes and fearsome feuds between the lands and the monsters that control them. For those who fear vampires, ghosts and the unknown, I offer two words of advice… Tread lightly. -------- "Why should I avoid him? He was a perfect gentleman, a good man," Katherine Welcher argued in his defense. "Good or not, neither matter," Alexander Delcrov warned her, "As long as you're under my wing, you shall behave and listen to my words. Do not let any man kiss you, Katherine. I don’t want others to call you improper." "There was nothing improper about it! And I'm not yours to obey," she blurted out in annoyance, feeling her face flush with embarrassment for the second time this evening, "I mean, you can't order me aro—-" "So disobedient," he stated with nonchalance before moving his hand from her waist to her back, pulling her closer to him as they danced. His breath tickled her nape. "So you’ll only listen if you are mine?"

Lies- Part 2

By end of the dinner, Katie had gulped down three glasses of wine and she felt herself float. She looked at Alexander and felt a soft smile on her lips. Her cousin was okay and she was having dinner with Lord Alexander.

She felt happy. She wondered how long it had been since she had last felt like this.

Everything felt so unreal. Months ago she wouldn't have believed it if someone said that she would be having a moonlight dinner with the Valerian Lord. Unlike most of the times where his hair would be combed back neatly, now it was disheveled due to the breeze.

Martin knocked at the door with Daisy following him so that they could clear the table. Daisy was the first to go out of the room while the old butler gave the daily reports of the mansion and the letters that had come for the day.

Alexander finished speaking to Martin and dismissed him; he then turned around to see Katie's eyes close, her head resting on the table.

"Katie?" he called out her name.
