THE RISE OF ROYAL RED EYES : BLOOD MOON

I woke up. My whole body feel ache and sore. This dim white room, is this the London nursing room? the watch shows 4 o'clock? Is now four in the morning or four in the evening? I shuffled awake, saw the infusion was attached to my arm and my clothes had changed to the clothes of a patient.

"You're awake" Alex entered my room. Why is he here? To scold me, he still won't let me go? Is this part of the threat.

"Why are you here, I'm going back to Paris myself. You don't have to wait for me." Alexander just looked at me. Then arrange to raise my bed.

"Drink this, the doctor said you have to take this medicine after you wake up." He handed me a glass of water and a few pills of medicine.

I received the medicine from him and swallowed it quickly. He patiently took my glass back and put it on the table. I silently looked at him.

"The doctor says you have to stay in bed for the next three days. You will get tired quickly if you do activities, your body needs time to recover. Do you want to stay here or go back to Paris? I'll be waiting for you" I looked at him in disbelief, wasn't he before the most against me. Why now he even wants to wait for me.

"You don't have to wait, you have a job. I can go back to Paris by myself. Go home" I answered quickly, looking away. I still don't want to make peace with him.

"Then I'll wait for you here. I'll get you some food, wait a minute. Don't you want to watch television. It's 4 pm" He handed the remote to my hand and turned on the TV.

"Wait have the refugees been handled?" My question made him stop at the door.

"They have been taken care of by Oscar and Ali, now they are still in Tartus. Tomorrow we will gradually move them to Latakia if possible" Alexander disappeared behind the door.

I am silent. Doesn't he get angry? What now. Meanwhile last night he yelled at me on the phone and even threatened me.

Daniel suddenly walked into my room.

"Alexa, you're awake. I met Alex who went to the pantry earlier." He immediately sat beside my bed.

"Your fiancé isn't angry anymore, you're shocked aren't you." Daniel grinned.

"Yes, what happened to him?" I wonder what Daniel said.

"Well, at first he arrived in London in a rage. I calmed him down by saying you have experienced this kind of mission for many years because you have also been involved at UNHCR. And he seems quite surprised that a lot of our humanitarian activities are in conflict areas and our camp there are also the result of your initiation. It seems he doesn't get angry anymore knowing you are doing it purely for humanity."

"Hmmm really."

"Their camp in Latakia is an independent camp. They manage the camp by themselves without UNHCR assistance. Alexander apparently has his own personal concern for the conflict area." Daniel explained further. It could be, maybe he had felt like a refugee, he had lived during World War 1 and 2.

"Dad doesn't know I'm here, does he?"

"No, but he could have come here suddenly." Daniel scratched his head.

"I'll be back in Paris tonight. Thanks for helping me. I didn't bother you."

"I'll arrange to hide you if Dad comes here. You don't have to worry."

"No, I don't want Alexander waiting for me here. I'll be back in Paris tonight." I make decision in the end.

"Alright" Daniel agreed, at the same time Alex came in with food.

"I'll leave you both, I have something to do." Daniel patted Alexander's shoulder.

"Thanks Daniel." Alexander patted Daniel back.

I am hungry. I just realized when I saw the food in front of me. While saying thanks I quickly finished the food that Alex brought.

Now he smiled to see me eating like a crazy person. I shook my head. This is quite a lot. I think I finished a portion for two people at once.

"Be quiet for a moment. There is something on your lips." Alexander took tissue and wiped the sauce on my lips. Sweet. But still I'm still mad at him.

"I'll be back in Paris tonight with you." Alexander saw me.

"I don't mind if you want to rest here."

He's really being cute now ehh!

"No, it would be a problem if you found out what happened. Daniel will be blamed." I mentioned my reason.

"I will arrange our return now. I'll ask your doctor's permission." He came out of my room.

Soon he was back with the doctor and nurse.

"Miss Alexa, do you want to rest at home? You know the rules, right. In the next three days you have to rest completely, your body will tire quickly in two or three days, you will often feel weak and fall asleep for a long time. No strenuous activity. You must meditate to restore your aura after your body feels good. Physical exercise is allowed after one week. If you violate these, your recovery, it will take longer. This is the vitamin you should take in the next week."

"Okay doctor." I nodded in understanding.

"Mr. Alexander, please make sure Miss Alexa obeys everything I say."

"Of course doctor."

Alexander left me with the nurse who helped me change into comfortable and polite enough clothes for the trip. After that we immediately said goodbye to Daniel and left for the airport.

I started to feel weak and dizzy when the plane took off. Alexander seems to know about it. He pulled me to the big comfortable sofa. The sofa that reminds me of my first kiss with him. The memory hurts now, because the two of us are now just involved in politics.

"Lie down." He finished taking out the pillows and blankets from the cupboard under the sofa. I, who was already weak, immediately lay down without saying much, and closed my eyes, while Alex covered me.

"Have a good rest"

He stroked my hair, gently massaged my shoulders, why did he have to torture me with such attention. It's all pointless.

"Alex, never mind" I moved to stop his hand.

"Shh go to sleep! Close your eyes, don't argue with me! " His voice was stern. He returned my hand to the side of my body lying sideways. I really don't have the energy to argue with him. Finally I let him massage me and fell asleep before long.

I opened my eyes. I am already in my room in Paris. I was carried off the plane without waking up? My hand touched something beside my bed. I turned my head. And suddenly screamed and got out of the bed. Alex slept on my bed. Why is he here!

He immediately opened his eyes, on alert. And staring at me with disheveled sleeping hair. Look at the clock.

"You wake up, it's five o'clock in the morning. Get some sleep. Do you want to get something?."

"Why are you sleeping here?"

"Taking care of you"

"I don't need to be guarded."

"Go sleep a little more." His arm reached out to mine and pulled me to lie down.

"I just sleep here with you. I didn't bother you." Alexander speaks while closing his eyes. He seems sleepy.

I finally lay down looking at him. He slept soundly. Maybe exhausted since two days yesterday he was waiting for me in London. Why is he sometimes so nice but sometimes he breaks my hopes.

I stared at his handsome face for a long time. My hand moved to caress his jaw. It feels rough and his thin beard tickles my palm. Makes me smile because of amusement.

"You like it" he suddenly opened his eyes. Made me surprised and reflex pulled my hand. Alexander caught my hand.

"Go on because I like it." My heart was pounding. He looked at me while putting my hand on his jaw. I immediately pulled my hand and turned my back to him. Unexpectedly he moved to hug me from behind. With one movement he put his arms around me, pulling my body closer to his body. What position is this!

"I'm sorry" He whispered behind my ear.

"Don't avoid me anymore. If you are angry, shout at me, hit me, but don't suddenly disappear from me." I froze. He slides his face behind the nape of my neck. Makes me hold my breath because of goosebumps.

"Let go of me" I squirmed in his arms.

"I'm sorry" He repeated his words, kissing the nape of my neck and running his lips there. My whole body is stiff with amusement.

"It's not that easy"

I gave up in silence because I could not escape from his embrace. My heart was pounding from his kiss and had to restrain myself from sighing in amusement at the rubbing of his lips on the nape of my neck. Why does he always use his touch to control me. He seemed to know the weak points of all women.

"I know it's not that easy. What if I give you an offer as a condition for our peace?" I turned around to look into his gray eyes.

"What is it?" I was curious.

"You can make three requests to me. Whatever you want, as long as it's not something that is impossible for me to grant."

"Really anything?" I smiled, this looks interesting.

"Yes, whatever, as long as you don't silence me anymore." Now he is leaning on with one hand looking at me.

"I have a first request" I said after thinking for a while.

"Say ..."

I took a deep breath before saying what I wanted. I sat on the bed, gathering my courage, Alexandre sat down, waiting for me to make my wish.

"Tell me, why did you become a vampire." I finally said it.
