Dark King's POV

I knew she existed long before I got the news that a mortal warrior was going in the forest for a hidden castle. I could feel her even before she was born. I had waited for her to come again and it took long 100 years, before I could feel her again.

And when I felt her breath I was determined to find her and it took me eighteen years to locate her. Every moment of these 18 years was horrible for me. It was torturous than those 100 years of my wait. I always knew my angel would be beautiful and would have grown into a beautiful maiden now those 18 years of her life passed.

I asked my warriors to tell me where she was. But my right hand man said "King I am afraid you should not go as of now. We have to wait because we cannot venture into the mortal lands during Sun. We would be long gone before we even reach her"

I knew he was right. I have to wait, to have my sweet. I had loved her even before she was born. I could feel her existence. Yet when I had made powerful witches captive, they could not locate her. But now when I got the information that she is in the mortal lands, I wanted to take her and make her mine.

I am King Emmanuel the lords of undead. I wanted to take her when she was born so that I will see every moment of her life, from her childhood to her maidenhood. I wanted to have her near me and to claim her as mine at 18. Due to the fairies protection I could not locate her, I could feel her but not find where she was hidden. Tonight she will be with me. I will have her in my arms. My beauty will be with me today and I will make her my queen. I will be the most powerful man in this world of immortals which will be a bonus but she was my priority. I smiled with the thoughts in my mind.

I waited till it was dark and then I flew to the mortal lands in the direction from where I got the wisps of her angelic smell. I saw her standing near a tree and lost in her thoughts. I saw her beautiful angelic face. Her delicate body features. Her beautiful feminine curves, her smooth creamy arms on the branch of a tree, she looked ethereal, the epitome of beauty. Her beauty mesmerised me, I never expected that her beauty to leave me astounded. At that moment I wanted to be the branch she was holding. I wanted her to hold me just like that branch.

Near her stood her royal guardian in a stance to protect her, I smiled a mere human for your protection my love. No one can protect you from me but myself. You are mine to hold, mine to ruin. You are all mine. I wanted to go near her and take her away with me. 

But the sadness in her eyes held me to my place. I was rooted to my place when I saw how vulnerable and how beautiful she looked. I could not take my eyes off her. I wanted to go there and comfort her. But I knew this could not happen without me fighting the royal guardian.

Suddenly she stiffened and stared into the darkness as worry took place of sadness in her facial expression and when she could not find anything she turned towards her guardian "Alex, I think something is not right?"

"What is not right my princess?" Alex replied. He kept his eyes trained on the surroundings to find any suspicious activity.

"Alex, I think King Emmanuel is here, I can feel the darkness and I am feeling scared" she replied with worry creasing on her forehead.

"I am sure princess that is but your imagination because King Emmanuel is someone who will not hide in shadows. If he is here then he would have shown himself long before we would be able to feel him" Alex replied in a matter of fact tone.

"Alex, do you think I am just imagining things. Don't you think I am a half fairy I would have some instincts to sense dangers" she replied gritting her teeth.

"My Apologies princess, I didn't mean to offend you. But it's the nature of King of darkness I talk about. But be relaxed I have protected you with the charms of the powder and I can very well see that it is quite effective" Alex replied. "But how do you know he is here?"

"I am half fairy.. Warrior and I can feel the darkness going darker to its depth." She replied smiling. "I don't know why he even needs me when he is this dark what more he would want"

"He is king of undead princess. He can rule them but he craves for your angelic powers so he can be the most powerful man in the world of mortals and supernaturals. He craves for light of angels and who else would be better than you" Alex replied

I smiled at their conversation. Warrior is indeed wise enough to say that who else is better than my sweetheart to have the lights of angels. But does he know I would have had her without her angelic powers. Because she is mine, me hers.

"Alex, do you think you can protect me if he comes to get me?"

Alex stiffened and replied " I will lay my life before he even breathes near you princess".

She was taken aback by his harshness but then she smiled.

"I don't want be a captive Alex. I know you would lay your life for me. But after he takes your life, do you think he will leave me I don't think so..  Don't say you will give up your life for me. I want you to live so that I would not have guilt of your life been taken because of me. "

 I have spent my 18 years in that shell as a captive I don't want to be held in another one.

I would prefer death than being captive." She said with glazed eyes.

Her words left Royal warrior speechless and me astounded. She thought I was... no I knew I was evil. Yet I wanted her to love me not hate. I didn't want to hold her captive if that's what she wanted. I just want her near me so I can see her every moment.

 I saw her again scanning her surrounding and she stiffened after sniffing the air.

"He is near Alex, I can feel the darkness creeping in more and more" Immediately Alex was in his protective mode. He scanned his surrounding but he could not see me. But she could with her powers but as of now they are dormant, I Knew she would see me soon.

I moved away from her, I wanted her as my own. There and then I decided I will make her fall in love with me. I wanted not only her body, her mind and soul. I would do anything for her.

I moved away further so she would not feel my presence anymore. I could hear her voice still.

"Alex I think I feel darkness lifting away. I can sense that. Might be it was a misconception." She said.

Alex relaxed but still trained his eyes on the surrounding for any abnormal activity. When he found none, He said princess you can rest now. We have to go a long journey tomorrow.

She went to the grass bed he had made for her and slowly I saw her eyes drop and she slept there. Under the moonlight she looked like an ethereal beauty. I could not stop but watching her from far. 

I will make her fall in love with me. I will, I decided, I will not force her. I can't see her sad. Her sadness will be my death of me. I know I am evil but as evil as I am I want to do good for her. I want her happy.

Alex never had a wink of sleep. I waited in shadows to know when this human would give up and sleep, after all he was a human. I waited and soon the dawn was arriving. I made my way towards my kingdom. I didn't want my sweetheart to feel she was a captive when she was with me.
