《Bound By Blood》Bound By Blood: 49. The Upcoming King

Advertisement

I didn't go home after the burial because Xavier wanted me to go home with him and hang out for a bit. He wanted some company and I didn't mind.

We both go up in his room while he takes off his coat and I toss mine on his bed. I watch him while he runs his hand through his hair.

"Can I borrow a shirt and a pair of sweatpants? I need to get out of this dress." I say following him to his closet. Xavier tosses me a shirt and I unzip my dress. I put my shirt on before he sees me in a bra and I wait till he gives me sweatpants so I can take my dress fully off.

"You don't have to be shy, you know." He says with a smirk on his lips. I look away, grabbing a hold of my dress in my grip, blush covering my cheeks. I turn around but I'm stopped by Xavier. He probably used his vampire speed to beat me. "Can you take off my shirt?"

I roll my eyes at him, unclipping his suspenders which looked adorable on him and I undo his tie. He watches me curiously, his hand touching my bare neck. I flinch at his touch because his hand is cold and I'm burning hot.

"The bite he gave you didn't heal since."

"Well I am human so it's going to take time." I reply back, unbuttoning his shirt. I reach the last button and he takes his shirt off, a white tank top inside it. It's tight along his muscles and they tense when I grab his wrist. He turns to me, his brows knitting together like I'm going to do something... Lustful?

"You forgot your tie." I say, lifting my arm up and showing him his tie.

"Thanks." He mumbles with a smile and takes it from my grip.

"And me." I add and he stops moving. I stare at his back waiting for him.

"You little..." He stops mid-sentence while walking to me quickly and picking me up. I wrap my legs around his torso and he brings me up against the wall.

"Little what?" I whisper in his ear while he holds me up.

"Little queen." He muffles while kissing my wound on my neck. Butterflies explode in my stomach when his lips find mine. Our lips move in sync, his tongue exploring. Kissing felt like a lifetime but eventually it had to end because a knock appears at his bedroom door.

"Xavier? Diana? I need to speak to you two." I hear Alexander say when Xavier pulls away. He licks his lips, giving me one last peck before placing me back on my own two feet. We both walk to the door and Xavier opens it, inviting Alexander in.

"What is it brother?" He asks but Alexander tells us to sit down which we do. We sit in the edge of the bed, Alexander standing in front of us.

"Since father's death, I have been thinking about this."

"About what?"

"The Prophecy and you do know that when father was suppose to die -when it was time- I was suppose to take over as King."

"Yes and?"

"I want you to take my place." My eyes widen.

"What? I cannot do that, not even on father's grave." Xavier mumbles to him and Alexander nods his head. "You have been kicking your own ass for years to become King by going to those meetings and father's business."

"I know, I know. I just think it will be better for you to take it because of the Prophecy and you have Diana by your side. I know you would be a great King, Xavier."

"I don't think I can accept this. Did you speak to mother about your idea?" Alexander nods his head no.

"How can I if she's not even set in her own mind. Do you see how she is reacting over this?"

"Yes I see."

"Good, now are going to accept my offering? Please?" Alexander smiles at him and Xavier sighs.

"Okay, I will do it. But if I do screw up on something you are taking my spot." We both get up from sitting down and the two brothers hug. Alexander gives him a pat on the shoulder and smiles at me.

"Anything for you King."

"Oh shut up, don't call me that." Xavier snaps back, rolling his eyes.

"Why not, master?" Alexander teases again. I choke on a giggle because Xavier's annoyed face is priceless.

"I swear, I will back off the deal right now."

"Okay, okay, I'm kidding."

"I feel like we need to tell the world now that we have a new Vampire King..." He narrows his eyes at me and winks. "And Queen."

"Hey, don't put me in this funny business. I'm not even a vampire."

"Who cares, you are with a monster of the night so I presume everyone to call you Queen."

"I'm your dreams, boy." I respond back. "But I do like the idea of telling everyone about the Prophecy because when the accident was on the news of the death of King Jean, Juliet, Mr. Walsh, Dylan, Troye and Isaac, people were furious and I personally don't want to be involved with another war. I think it'd be better to tell everyone what really did happen." Xavier and Alexander nod in agreement.

"I think I can get some people to help us out with that." Alexander replies back and I nod, grabbing a hold of Xavier hand.

"And we will do that together."
