Roses P.O.V

I grunt in pain when my back starts to feel like it's on fire. The numbing medicine started to not do its job of making me feel better. The doctor put me on bed rest for at least two weeks just to make sure I heal correctly.

"Majesty do you have the medicine with you." He walks over to my laying position and holds a pill in his hand. I place it in my mouth and drink the water with the help of Octavian.

"Rose please don't call me majesty anymore. Just call me Octavian." I nod my head slightly. I tense for a second because of my back and a tear rushes down my cheek.

"The doctor will be coming shortly to check up on you." I nod my head at the news.

I hear a knock on the door and it opens. "Good evening majesty." He walks towards the bed I'm laying on and lays his bag on the table. He unwraps my bandages and I wince as the air hits the fresh wounds.

"The healing process is going well. Just really slow. You barely have energy Hun." He turns to Octavian and sighs. "How often do you feed her majesty. She seems weak and too frail."

The doctor packs up his things and exits the door with Octavian. I lay their listening to their mumbling. Octavian comes back in and walking towards me.

"Rose I'm going to lift you up so we can get you something to eat."

"Before you do that be completely honest with me. How bad does it look?" My voice comes out shakier then I expected.

He sighs and I hear him move closer to me. "I'm not going to lie Rose. You can barely see the flesh on your back. But the good news is that it's healing."

"Oh", that's all I could think of to say. "Ok Rose on the count of three I'm going to lift you on the count of three." I squeeze my eyes shut and nod quickly.

"One..... Two.... Three." I'm lifted up quickly and I let out a small squeal. Another year falls down my cheek, traveling down to my dry lips.

"Can you walk?" I try standing on my own but Yelp in pain immediately. "I guess not", he murmurs. He picks me up like he's carrying a toddler and we make our way out of the bed room.

I closed my eyes the whole time. Each step he took the more the pain would come. "Hello majesty", I hear the familiar voice of Anna. It cheers me up to hear someone different for once.

I'm laid down on a couch and soup is brought to me. Before I can reach for it Octavian picks it up. "I want to feed you." He blushes and my eyes widen.

Did Octavian really just blush?! He sits on the couch resting my head up. He blows the soup before tasting it.

He dips the spoon back in it again blowing it and holding it to my lips. I look at the spoon then back up to him. "Come on Rose I don't have cooties", he winks.

I open my mouth and taste the delicious soup Anna had prepared for me. He blows at it again feeding his own self again. He never even questioned me if I wanted to share my food.

He repeats this until it's eventually gone. "Better?" I raise a eyebrow at him and pull on a small smile.

He kisses me on my forehead and I hear gasps. I turn around to see teens and some adults. Octavian eyes turn red and he stalks towards them.

"If you tell anyone I will cut everyone's fucking head off. Do you understand?!" They nod quickly while scurrying away.

"Damn people never mind their business." He walks back over to me and I had a shock expression all over my face. He chuckles while shaking his head.

"A-are you really going to cut their heads off?" "No I'm just scaring them but I would if I had to", he shrugs.

"You should rest." He picks me up and carries me back through the long hallway leading me to his room. I lays me on the bed and goes to his closet.

Coming back with a large shirt he lifts me up.

Octavian's P.O.V

"I'm going to change you but I promise I won't look. Ok maybe a peak or two. She nods her head. I lift her up to a sitting position and pull her shirt off slowly. Now revealing her only in a bra I shake my head to clear my thoughts and slide my shirt over her head.

I slide her pants off and throw them in my dirty laundry pile I keep in the corner of my room. I pull the covers back and place her in it. "Goodnight Rose. I'll be in in few minutes

She nods while she closes her eyes. I wish she talked more. Hearing her voice is so soothing to me. Kinda like a lullaby. I turn the shower on to cold and step in.

After showering I throw on some shorts. I head over to the bed and climb in. I listen to Rose soft breathing. It makes me fall asleep all the time. Even when I had her sleeping on the floor.

From the second week of having Rose I couldn't stand to have her on the floor any longer but I didn't want to show any sympathy. Because I'm know as the "big bad Vampire King" around here. I needed to keep my reputation.

But to be completely honest, I'm starting not to care for this stupid reputation. If I love Rose then I love her. If any of the people ever say anything, or even dare touching her I'm killing them on the spot. No ifs, ands or buts.

Picking out a slave was easy. She stood out the most. She had scars on her face, a black eye, her arm was purple. It's like I knew it from the start someone was beating her up.

She looked so scared when she saw me it was like she was almost gonna pee her pants.

The night I had her cleaning the cells and fences I knew it was harsh. I have never made a slave do such work. But something that day made me so angry. Was it because my feelings for her were getting to me.  

I hated how she looked at me when we first met. Like I was some monster. Well besides
Being a vampire. She's just so damn innocent and I like it. It's like she's my mate. No a vampire couldn't have a human mate. Or could we?

I remember her helping me when I was throwing up in the middle of the night. She was kind enough to help me. When I through her and her head hit the wall. The echoing sound made me want to fall to my knees right there.

Maybe it's ok to love my slave. I love Rose and I hope she knows this. I fall asleep at the end of my thoughts peacefully by Rose.
