Chapter 44: Shield her

"Why did His Highness talk so harshly with Venus? Her in-laws must be thinking that she is a bad person," Alora complained as she took off the earrings and placed them in a box.

"Venus is a bad person," Magnus stated. He dropped his overcoat on the chair and went to her. His hand rested on her shoulders and his gaze met with hers through the mirror.

"I was mad and I still am," Magnus replied. "Just because of you, I’ve to keep control of my anger," he asserted.

"I’m used to being getting hate," Alora said.

"No. You used to bring getting ridiculed. You know how many men’s hearts beat to see you today. That’s the beauty of yours. I’ll make everyone regret to ignore your presence," Magnus proclaimed. His hands moved down, causing her to shiver and her fingers curled up.

"I enjoyed the dance. It made my heart fluttered. Whatever Venus said to me was the last time. We won’t even meet her. That’s why I didn’t say anything to her," Alora explained to him.

"I want Venus to beg you one day," Magnus affirmed. "Let’s leave her topic. I hate her and I don’t speak about the people, whom I hate," he stated.

"Isn’t this dress tight on you?" Magnus asked, her hands moved to the corset. "Let me help you," he whispered in her ear.

"I will ask the attendant to help me," Alora said.

"Forget about her. I can do it better than her," Magnus affirmed, his words sending a shiver down Alora’s spine. Though hesitant at first, she didn’t resist him.

Alora glanced at the mirror and saw her husband’s intense gaze fixed on her. Sensing her gown loosening, she instinctively held it to her chest.

Her breath caught in her throat as she felt Magnus’s lips on her neck. "It was hard to control myself. But now, I don’t think I have to," he whispered huskily.

Magnus lifted her effortlessly into his arms, and Alora automatically wrapped her arms around his neck. Gently, he laid her down on the mattress, tenderly caressing her hair as he hovered over her.

"What is this look in your eyes?" he asked.

"I don’t wish His Highness to resist himself," she replied. Alora moved her hand up and traced his brows with her fingers. Her hand rested on his cheek as she smiled at him.

He leaned down, and their lips met in a fervent kiss. His touch was sensual as his hand roamed over her body, pausing only at her knee. Pulling up her gown, he trailed his fingers up her thigh, eliciting a gasp as she arched her back in response.

Knock! Knock!

Alora pulled away abruptly upon hearing the knock on the door. "Someone’s at the door," she whispered, her voice breathless.

"Ignore it," Magnus insisted, his desire still evident in his tone.

"Brother, we need to go," Izaak voiced loudly from outside.

"Oh, it’s Brother Izaak," Alora stated. "I think he has some work from you," she proclaimed.

Magnus cussed as he got down the bed in annoyance. This was the reason he didn’t like Izaak. He would trouble him all the time, especially when he was with Alora.

Opening the door in anger, Magnus glanced at Izaak, who smiled at him. "Gloria is in the hub. Don’t you wish to go? Or do you wish to continue what you were doing?" he arched his eyebrow at him.

Magnus slammed the door in his face and went to the chair to pick up his overcoat. Alora sat up while still holding her gown. "What happened, Your Highness? Who was at the door?" she inquired.

"I have an important work outside," Magnus said as he wore his boots. In a blink of an eye, he approached Alora and planted a soft kiss in the center of her forehead. "Have your dinner and sleep tight."

"Will His Highness come late?"

"Yes. That’s why don’t wait for me and go to bed early. Today was a tiring day for you," he said and got off the bed.

He exited the bedroom, making sure to close the door behind him.

"Is it necessary for Brother Izaak to accompany me?" Magnus asked as they both reached the foyer, where a carriage awaited them.

"Yes. I told you I would help you in finding the answers for Alora’s eyes," Izaak affirmed.

They arrived near the carriage and the coachman opened its door.

"Tobias, don’t let Alora roam anywhere at night. Make sure she goes to bed early," Magnus instructed him. He felt Alora would stay awake for him and he didn’t wish that to happen.

"I will, Your Highness," Tobias assured him.

Both the princes entered the carriage and left for ’The Trident’.

"Have you met Gloria before?" Izaak inquired.

"No," Magnus replied. "What is she like?" he asked.

"Gloria hates vampires. A vampire killed her brother. But to maintain the peace, she decided to let it go. However, what I think is that Gloria has still that grudge inside her," Izaak affirmed.

"Father didn’t tell me all this," Magnus remarked.

"Father would have thought you knew about it. But I know my youngest brother. He hardly keeps such knowledge," Izaak pronounced. "I believe she hid the truth from our Father. She can shield her thoughts because of her abilities," he proclaimed.

Magnus now wondered if he would be able to see through her mind. "What I think is that the woman who bestowed such powerful eyes on Alora wasn’t a witch. But something more. The message I received wasn’t from her, but from another person than her because someone wants Alora for his/her use," he expressed his thoughts to Izaak.

"That can be a possibility," Izaak said.

"A werewolf was specifically targeted on Alora. Why do I feel it’s related to werewolves?" Magnus murmured.

"Werewolves aren’t powerful," Izaak muttered.

"They are created by the Moon Goddess to keep a balance. They are indeed powerful," Magnus opined. "I always had this thought that Alora could be killed at a young age, but no one either attempted to kill her. Neither us vampires nor the werewolves or witches. Humans did want to, but couldn’t."

"You believed Alora’s eyes are her shield," Izaak reminded him. "Perhaps attempts were made, but they were futile in front of her magical eyes," he affirmed.

"Yes. I believe her eyes shield her from something none of us knows. That’s why I want to find that answer from Gloria since the witches use magic to learn such facts," Magnus stated.
