Here I am :) 

Hope you enjoy this new chapter <3 <3

Xiao Zhan's POV

I could barely open my eyes. I was in pain. A lot! Especially my throat. I couldn't even move except for my eyes. When I opened them, I found myself in a large strange room. But I had no time to look around and appreciate the bright colors and majestic decor. The pain I felt soon faded into the background as I saw the image of Haoxuan lying lifeless and bleeding on the floor. That bastard's face also appeared and I completely forgot about the pain. Rage rushed through my whole body again as I jumped up and ran out of the room.

Only I wasn't really running. I couldn't call that running. Hell, I couldn't even call it flying! I was so damn fast! It shocked me so much that I almost ran into the opposite wall. The only thing that stopped me were the strong hands around my body, holding me in place before the impact.

The shock was quickly overcome as I tried to run in search of the bastard I needed to smash into tiny pieces. But these arms around me prevented me from fulfilling my mission. I fought against this person and didn't even care if I hurt him.

"Let me go!" I roared and was satisfied to hear that this person was having a hard time holding on to me.

"No," Yibo said, slightly out of breath. "Zhan, calm down. You are..."

I didn't think to listen. I had to kill Feng MingJin right away! But Yibo wouldn't let go of me. I knew that I was stronger than him right now, but I also knew that if I used that to my advantage, I could hurt him. And that was something I didn't want to do.

"Zhan. Please, calm d-"

"Where is he!?" I shouted. I didn't care what he wanted to say. I was furious and my anger wouldn't subside until that bastard died!

"Haoxuan is ...."

Although I hadn't asked about my friend's whereabouts, hearing his name now somehow brought me back to my senses. For a moment, I forgot about my vendetta and grabbed Yibo's collar.

"Where is he?" I snarled, ignoring the delicious smell he gave off.

He suddenly had this sad and uncomfortable look on his face. "In his room, but he..."

I ran away immediately and heard Yibo running after me. If I wasn't in such a serious and deadly mood, I would have found it funny that he had trouble keeping up with me.

When I arrived at Haoxuan's room, I saw several guards standing outside. When they saw me, they looked worried and uncertain. Their heads turned to the other side where my mother was standing, looking worried and upset.

She saw me and seemed to want to say something, but I ignored her.

"Out of my way!" I growled at the guards and when they backed off, I marched past them. I threw open the door and entered my friend's room, only to see him lying lifeless in his bed. He was pale and not moving at all. When I tried to get closer, Ji Yang stood in my way, his eyes red and his fangs bared at me.

"Fuck off!" He growled, but I didn't even think about listening to him. I tried to walk past him, but he grabbed me and pushed me away from Haoxuan's bed.

"Song Ji Yang!" I warned him, my body tense, ready to tear him to pieces if he didn't let me see Haoxuan.

"FUCK OFF!" He yelled before grabbing my shoulders. He must have lost his mind if he dared to attack me, the Crown Prince. My eyes slid to my friend, which Ji Yang didn't like as he growled again. I had enough and this time I grabbed Ji Yang's arms and pushed him away. I couldn't control my strength, which happened to have increased a lot. Ji Yang crashed into the wall and fell to the ground with a whimper.

I rushed to my friend to check on him, but he wasn't moving. I never saw him so pale as today, and for a moment I thought he was gone. But I heard his heart. It was slow and irregular. I smelled his blood and threw off the blanket to check his wounds.

"Xiao Zhan, don't-" I heard my mother say, but it was too late. I had already seen it.

Yibo was the one who taught me everything I needed to know about vampires and this world, and even though I had a hard time concentrating on what he was saying because his whole presence distracted me a lot, I was still able to learn everything he taught me. And that was what he was telling me about the current situation.

Suddenly I couldn't see anything. I couldn't think straight and everything was blurry as I turned and attacked Ji Yang who had risen from the ground. I grabbed his throat and started to strangle him. He struggled against me, but I barely noticed.

My hatred for Haoxuan's father faded into the background as my anger towards Ji Yang appeared and grew stronger.

"How dare you!?" I roared, choking even more. I knew that I would kill him if I went on like this, but he deserved it. He deserved it after what he did to my best friend.

He stared back at me with his red eyes and tried to break free. Keeping one hand around his neck, I grabbed his shirt and ripped it off, revealing a deep and ugly, still slightly bleeding wound on his skin just above his heart.

"Xiao Zhan, let him go." Mother ordered, but I didn't care what she told me.

"How could you do this?" I shouted at him. "He will die because of you! How could you!?"

I felt hands pulling at me, but I didn't move as I wrapped my hands around Ji Yang's throat.

"Zhan..." Yibo was behind me. "He's not dead. Let him go."

"NO!" I screamed.

"Zhan, Haoxuan is alive. He is... fighting for his life right now. When he wakes up, he will be heartbroken to see you like this."

"Ji Yang did this to him." I hissed. "How could he... Haoxuan never wanted this... how could he do this?" My gaze slid back to my friend, or rather to his chest, where I saw an inflamed bite mark on his skin, just above his heart.

"How dare you turn him against his will?"

To turn a human into a vampire, the human must be bitten in the heart by a vampire. He will drink the blood in the heart while injecting his poison. Then the vampire will draw blood from his own heart and give it to the human to drink. The transformation is a very painful process for the human, and only the strongest will survive. There is no guarantee for either the human or the vampire to survive the transformation.

Ji Yang knew this and still bit Haoxuan, giving him his poison as well as his blood. Haoxuan was shot! He was already weak and about to die, but Ji Yang ignored that and forced a transformation on my friend! This was not only illegal, but also something Haoxuan never wanted!

With a roar, I pushed Yibo away from me and used all my strength to kill Ji Yang. Suddenly, I was violently pulled away and locked into the arms of an unknown person. I could have killed Ji Yang, just a little more, and I would have killed him.

"Let go!" I struggled, but this person was terribly strong.

"I don't think so." He replied nonchalantly and pulled me away.

"I will kill him!"

"No, you won't." He said as a matter of fact. His voice was warm but firm and so was his grip on me.

"But I have to give it to you. You are quite strong. In my long life I have met many newly transformed vampires, but none of them were as strong as you." I had never heard that voice before, but it sounded strangely familiar.

"But on the other hand, I have mostly witnessed females going through their transformation. Except for my son, but even he wasn't as strong as you are now. I must admit, you made a good impression on me for our first meeting." His arms tightened around me and somehow that made me even angrier.

"Let go!" I screamed. "I have to kill him!"

"You will kill no one, son."

"I am not your son! Who are you? Let go!" I hissed. It frightened me a little, how nothing could calm the rage that washed through my body. And I knew I was still in pain, only the rage made me forget it for a moment.

"Your Majesty!" When I heard Yibo's voice, it calmed me down a bit. But only so much that I stopped fighting and looked forward, where I saw Yibo standing, looking slightly upset, but visibly worried about me. And there was something else I could not understand yet.

"Ah, the leader of our royal guard." The man behind me called him. I had enough, I swung my elbow and hit the man right in the stomach. He grunted, but didn't release his grip.

"I'll take care of him," Yibo said, looking at the man's hands on me.

"This one is feisty. I like him already. But are you sure you can handle him?" The man behind me chuckled, not releasing his grip on me at all.

"Father." Mother's soft voice echoed off the walls.

"Tang Yan, are you sure he is not yours? His fiery personality is just like yours."

"Father, let him go."

"I will as soon as he calms down." He turned me around and pushed me against the wall. Not hard, but firm enough to know he meant it. Meeting his gaze, I calmed down. I didn't want to. I wanted to get my hands on Ji Yang and squeeze him to death. Then I wanted to go to where that bastard was being held and kill him as well. However, I calmed down and knew for sure that this person in front of me had done something to me.

"Much better." He smiled and looked at me. "Even a blind man can see that you are my grandson."

I frowned and realized that I was standing in front of my grandfather. He didn't look much older than my father, but that didn't mean anything. Anyway, I couldn't move and I couldn't indulge in anger or hate, all because of him.

"Listen, son." My grandfather looked at me gravely. "What happened should not have happened. And I will make sure that everyone gets the punishment they deserve. You are too emotional right now. Combined with your recent transformation, it is dangerous to let you loose, so I will keep you under house arrest until your emotions are stable."

'Transformation? I went through it. When?'

"I won't lie to you, Xiao Zhan. Your friend's life is in danger. I can't promise you that your friend will survive. He was dying when Mr. Song tried to turn him, so he had even less chance of surviving. But considering that he's been fighting for his life for three days and his situation hasn't gotten any worse, he might have a chance. However, that is not a promise."

I glared at Ji Yang, wanting to get my hands on him again, but I couldn't move at the moment.

"What I can promise you is that we will do everything possible to help your friend through his transformation. We have doctors and we have several donors here-"

Ji Yang growled, but after one look at my grandfather, he stopped and looked at the ground submissively. Seeing that, I thought my grandfather was pretty cool.

"What Mr. Song did was illegal, and he will be punished as well. But we will wait until we know for sure about your friend's condition." He told me firmly.

"For now, I will leave you in the care of Wang Yibo. I want you to rest and get rid of the last effects of the transformation. I will let you go now, but let me warn you that the pain you will feel will be very extreme. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do but wait for it to pass. You won't die, Xiao Zhan, but the pain may make you wish you did. Understand?"

My anger had subsided and now I felt tired. I didn't like that I wasn't allowed to hurt the people who hurt my friend, but I couldn't do anything about it, so I nodded. Then he let go of me and stepped back. And that was the moment the pain overcame me and Yibo had to catch me.

Time went by and all I did every day was lie in bed and just endure the pain. I didn't eat, I didn't move. At first it was almost unbearable, but then it slowly eased. Yibo was with me all the time. He wouldn't leave my bed no matter what, which was one reason why I didn't mind my current situation. Cuddling with Yibo 24/7? Hell, yeah!

My parents often came to check on me, and so did Xuan Lu.

I was often bored, but thanks to my super hearing, I could hear what was going on inside the palace. The walls were activated, but I could still hear everything. Yes, my hearing was even better now that I had gone through my transformation. Since I was in bed all the time, I couldn't tell what else was different, but I knew I would find out in the future.

I heard the servants talking about me a lot. Good for them, there were only positive things. I also heard the ministers when they came to meet with my parents. It was amusing to hear how they were suddenly more quiet than before, especially the Prime Minister. Not because he was embarrassed about what had happened before, but I was sure it was because of my grandfather, who insisted on attending the meetings.

I knew my mother was quite... bold, but my grandfather was far worse. The way he scolded and berated those ministers was entertaining.

I also heard the Prime Minister's daughter making a scene somewhere in the palace almost every day. She would scream, complain and whine. She asked to see her father. And often, which I found ridiculous, she would demand an audience with my father.

Since I had nothing much to do but lie there and listen to my surroundings, mostly to Yibo who told me many stories from his childhood, I had enough time to train my hearing so that I didn't have to listen to that woman's complaints all day.

Another thing I heard were my sisters who came with my grandfather. I think there were 8 of them. I have yet to meet them, but it was amusing to hear that they kept the whole palace busy. It was even funnier when you consider that they were all adults but still acted like children. No wonder my grandfather took so long to travel.

But the most important person to me was Haoxuan. I could hear him breathing and sometimes wincing in pain, but he had not woken up yet. I tried not to think about him too much, because whenever I did, I could feel my emotions running wild. Ji Yang was always next to my friend and I could hear him talking to him. I knew he was in pain too, but even though I understood now that he did what he did because he didn't want to lose Haoxuan, he shouldn't have done it.

Haoxuan had nothing against our kind, but he often mentioned that he didn't want to be one of us. I accepted that, but Ji Yang didn't. He only thought about himself when he turned my friend. I didn't want Haoxuan to die, just the thought of my only best friend leaving me was hard to bear, but that didn't mean I would turn him selfishly like Ji Yang did. I would rather Haoxuan die a quick, less painful death than a delayed, painful one. And right now, he was in a lot of pain, more than me.

His body was human and not made for transformation, unlike mine. The pain I felt was already excruciating, what Haoxuan felt must have been much worse.

"Why is he still alive?" I asked loudly.

"Who?"

"That bastard!" I growled. "I can hear him."

"We don't kill people just like that. Especially not humans." Yibo answered me. "He will be punished, but we will wait until Haoxuan is awake. He is the main victim here."

"But..."

"Zhan..."

"Damn law!" I hissed and glared at Yibo. "The only punishment he deserves is death. And I want to be there when he dies. If it's not something painful, I won't accept it. He must be tortured..."

Just like that, he silenced me with a kiss. That was his way of not letting me get too emotional.

"Stop cheating..." I muttered.

"Stop thinking about him. He's not worth it." He whispered. "You can hear everything? Even with the wall activated?"

"Hmm, yes. And it can be annoying."

"You're amazing..." He mumbled before pulling me into another kiss. I smiled.

"I am." Kissing him back even more eagerly, I straddled him quickly and very easily. "And I like that I'm so much stronger now."

"Behave."

"Oh, I will." I grinned, pinned his hands to the mattress and kissed him deeply. We hadn't made love for days because I was in so much pain, but the pain was much less and I hardly felt it anymore.

"Zhan..." He called to me between the kisses, but since I knew what he wanted to say, I ignored him and kissed him even more passionately until even the almighty Yibo couldn't stand it anymore. I felt him trying to turn us around, so I stopped kissing him and looked down at him with amusement.

"What now? Suddenly so weak?"

His eyes turned red. "Don't challenge me, Zhan."

"I can't help it. I feel much more energetic now. I am much stronger and my hearing is great. I still have to learn to block out unwanted sounds, but I am on my way. Now that my body is stronger, I can't help but expect your true self, Yibo. You don't have to hold back anymore, remember? I want you to..."

I stopped talking and quickly grabbed my burning throat. The pain came out of nowhere and shocked me. I must have looked panicked because Yibo released his hands easily and stroked my cheeks.

"I was wondering when the thirst would hit you..." He smiled.

"Y-yibo..."

"I'm here." He grabbed the back of my head and pulled me down to him. "I've been waiting for this. Drink, Zhan. I am all yours."

Grabbing the sheets, I hesitated. "Yibo...this feels different.... It hurts...."

"It's normal. Your body is catching up with all the blood it didn't have before. Don't worry, drink."

"But..." Xuan Lu had to drink from several people before her thirst was quenched. If my thirst was anything like hers, I would need more than Yibo could give me. What if I couldn't restrain myself?

"You won't hurt me, Zhan." I frowned at him. "No, I can't. But your thoughts are written all over your face."

"Yibo..."

"I won't let you drink from others." His eyes began to glow.

"I'm so thirsty, it hurts. What if I..."

"You won't hurt me." He repeated, pressing my face into his neck. "Drink."

I didn't want to, but my instincts overrode my rational thoughts and soon my fangs were sinking into his tender skin, leaving me with an explosion of taste I hadn't felt before. My hands gripped his shoulders as I began to drink while moans escaped both our lips and soon my whole body began to react.

I began to tear at his clothes, eagerly awaiting the touch of his bare skin to cool the heat that threatened to burn me alive. I rubbed our bottoms together hard and fast and a loud growl left my mouth as I felt my orgasm building.

I drank even more eagerly and only when I felt his hands cupping my bare bottom did I manage to slow down and turn us over. With Yibo on top of me, I licked over my fangs and enjoyed the feel of his weight. When I looked into his eyes, I saw my reflection, which shocked me.

My lips and chin were covered in his blood and my eyes were glowing red one moment and pitch black the next. Something was building up inside me and soon my rational thoughts were gone and I had only one thought left.

"Fuck me!" I growled. My thirst for him became almost unbearable and I wasn't talking about his blood.

"As you wish, Your Highness." He smiled and without further ado he gave me the pleasure I had craved for so long.

to be continue... 

Well, damn. You go for it, Zhan ^^

I really hope Haoxuan will survive...
