at first, I was against my father's wishes of marrying the girl of my father's friend. but once I saw how much this meant to him. I couldn't help but give in.

I stood in my room. staring emotionlessly in the mirror. my red eyes gazing back at my reflection. I was getting married. my life would be ruined. but then again. what life did I have before that is so precious now?

I was a partier, drinker, a player but now....I have to pursue my role as the king's son. Prince Damían , the heir of King Lucien of the royal kingdom of vampires. I sighed heavily as I sat down on my bed. the curtains closed to avoid contact with the sun.

" Prince, ur father wants to have a word" one of my servants smiled as he opened the door to reveal my father with a grim look sprawled on his face. " what's going on?" I asked. " nothing, I just wanted to congratulate my son for stepping up to the throne" he smiled. this was wierd. he hardly smiled. was he this happy?

" I'll see u at the ceremony, don't be late ur fiance is waiting" he chuckled hugging me tightly. he released me and hands me the rings. " father weren't u going to be my ring bearer?" I spoke confused on why he handed me them. " I won't make it, just make us happy, Damián" he sighs happily before leaving the room.

I stared at the matching rings in my hand. why were they both male rings? the ring maker must've made a mistake. but then again gay marriage was common here in the underworld.

I quickly put the rings in my pocket and followed my servant out. my siblings waited outside the house. they wore black clothing and held their black umprella's high. smiling. why did their smiles look so....fake? i returned the smile and allowed my mother to hug onto my arm as my sister did the same. my older brothers followed behind.

wedding music played from the orchestra in the village. I walked up the rose filled path. villagers and nobles watched as I took my place on the throne. my brother's stood with their wives as my sister's stood with their husbands. everyone in the pews look as if they are awaiting something. I know this is a wedding but why do they look so scared. that's when I noticed the weapons lined up behind the big tables.

my eyes widen. I tried to piece everything together. but I was missing majority of this whole situation. I got quickly distracted as my future wife walked slowly up the rosey path.

her long black dress and her red lipstick stood out from the crowd. her blonde hair fell onto her shoulders. I held out my hand as she grew closer. violet roses in her hands.. she grasp mine as she stood in front of me. " let the ceremony begin" my mother spoke as she held out the marriage promising blade.

my fiance's name was Víctoría. she was the daughter of the human couple, the Valencia family. she was only 15 and I was 18. I kinda felt bad for her. she didnt even finish school and she had to give up her Freedom to be with me.

" I Víctoría, take Prince Damián, to be my undead husband" Víctoría smiled. her heart beating really fast. " I Damián take Noble Víctoría to be my soon undead wife" I spoke. her eyes slightly held the sight of fear.

" bite the bride, my son" my mother said as she touched my shoulder. my eyes gleamed a lighter shade of red as my fangs protruded from my gums. I held Víctoría hand tightly as I leaned forward.

I leaned closer, holding her petite waist and pulling her against me. I bared my fangs and licked the side of her neck. I sunk my fangs down on her flesh. she cries out as blood spilled staining her dress. vampires in the crowd growled softly. I gulped her blood, knowing I was the first vampire that claimed her ** neck.

suddenly my head starts to Ache but I ignore it. she grows limp in my arms. I held her up as I quickly bite into my wrist and pressed it against her mouth.

I felt weak. her body immediately responds to my blood. she clutches on to my arm as she drinks. using her newly fangs to Pierce into my wrist. " stop....Stop!" I shouted as I collapsed faintly onto the ground. " I'm sorry my prince....hurry and get him out of here, we running out of time!" my promised wife yells. guards quickly helped me to my feet.

they pulled me to a carriage in the back.

I was dragged into a coffin. the carriage was off the down the road in seconds. I weakly tried to focus on the people in the carriage. " I'm sorry prince Damían" the blurry man whispered. the carriage kept on for hours and so did my condition. what did they do to me to make me weak for long periods of time?

the carriage hault to a stop and guards lifted the coffin while the man held me up. they took me deep into a mountain side thru a cave. that's when i noticed they had set my coffin in a hole. they were gonna bury me alive!?!

I hugged onto the man. begging him not to drop me in that coffin. " but prince....it's not ur time yet" he smirks before giving me a shove and I fell into the coffin. the man began to chant in a unique way.

" lumos, mahia, farewell Child of the dark....your bound to 400 years till awakening....behama, notsiue"

the coffin lid instantly shut due to the spell he was casting. I weakly clawed the lid and tried to scream and call for help but I wasn't released. " I don't want to die" I whispered. twirling the rings in my pocket. vampires will die without blood in their system..

suddenly everything clicked into place . why my father couldn't stay. why I was forced to marry. I needed a wife, because no one can drink a royals blood unless it's thier wife or husband. and to drain my blood to feed my wife, which meant she had took enough of my blood to weaken me but there was something in her blood that can keep me alive for many years. but I don't know what. that was the problem.

but why did they do this? what was the meaning. God I have so many questions. I was buried 6 ft below and has to wait 400 years till they come back for me.

that's a long wait.

I heard slight banging on my coffin. muffled voices shouting above. God are these people grave robbers? did 400 years pass?

I could barely lift a finger. and my mouth had been dry for a long time. I haven't seen anything but pitch black.

my coffin was being raised up from the ground. it was set roughly on the ground. " what is it boss?" a man asks. " it's Prince Damían's coffin...hurry open it!" a woman whispered. my coffin lid wouldn't buldge. stupid humans. there's a curse for reason. " won't lift ma'am" he replied. " plan B take him to the lab and fetch some human blood" the unknown woman spoke. her voice bores me.

I fell into a deep sleep once again unwillingly.

I woke to more people studying my coffin. God can't they figure out how to get me out. I'm starving. " let's try sticking a tube into the creases" the woman spoke. I heard something push thru. but I was completely blind and weakly searched for it. smelling the scent of blood. I pulled it thru which made people gasp in shock. why are they so afraid? humans and vampires live in Harmony....

but once I tried to drink from it, the blood supply was cut off at the edge of the coffin. restricted by the curse. wasn't working. " the bloods not going in" the woman sighed heavily. " Ms. Valentine's, I got the work done that u gave me on the-" a young boys voice sounded so clearly. his scent flooded my nose.

Mate!!

some reason, I caught a glimpse of power. and started to beat on the lid of the door. " he wants something....Max do me a favor, leave the room for a minute then walk in" Ms. Valentine's whispered. the boy, my mate, walks out the room. his scent disappearing and so was my strength.

then he walks back. is he playing with me. he walks closer to the coffin. I started to beat and kick on the lid. I need him. I want him. one drop of his blood probably would satisfy my hunger!!

" max, I think Prince Damián wants ur blood" she spoke. " me?!" Max whispered backing up. " trust me, I'll raise ur salary" Ms. Valentine's pleaded. " easier salary?....this is a old box with a dead guy inside...I'ma need more" he hummed. " I'll give u that position u always wanted" she smirks, knowing that would drag him in. " fine" he sighs walking over. Ms.Valentine's handed Max a scapel and watched in amazement. Max shakily drags the sharp scapel against his palm and held it over the coffin. one drop of his blood made me go crazy. but it also released the curse. as I kicked the lid. the curse lifted. the lid went flying. I immediately grabbed his hand and licked the blood. " his eyes.....he's blind" Max whispered. " blind?! legend never said the prince is blind" Ms.Valentines exclaimed.

his blood tasted so heavenly on my dry tongue. my fangs aching to be in his flesh. missing the feeling. " hey no biting" Max huffed pulling away. I flung my hands out. trying to find him again. I clutched my throat." he's thirsty" Ms Valentine's spoke. " no way, I'm not gonna feed him" max huffed. " we need answers" she sighed. " ugh" he sighs before letting himself be caught by my hands.

" have a taste"
