The Vampire Prince And Me.

The Vampire Prince And Me. Chapter Seventeen.

You know when you're drinking water and when someone tell you something so incredibly shocking and crazy, you spit it out with such a craze reaction and coughing, but you don't even care cause of what you just heard is so shocking?

Well, if I was drinking water right after Xander said that, everyone would be looking at me like I was crazy. But no, I sat in the same spot...my moth hanging open...and I didn't know what to say or react to that.

Lucas was the same way. He froze right in his chair, looking at both Xander and Bethany. He looked like someone just flipped a switch and Lucas turned off. He wasn't blinking or doing anything, but looking.

Xander just rolled his eyes and lifted his hand up and looked down at his nails like they were the most interesting things in the world--something King Luka would do. Bethany was still twirling her hair around her index finger and she bit down on her lip harder, anxiously waiting for him to respond.

Lucas started laughing and we looked at him like he was crazy. He got up from the chair, "That's a nice joke, you two.", he said and continued to laugh.

"We aren't joking.", Xander said. He looked at Bethany, "Told you he would believe us.",

"Shh, Xander.", she said, waving him off. "Prince Lucas, I know this does sound crazy--oh, no.", she said, her hand flying to her mouth. "King Luka never told you about his affairs.",

Lucas frowned down at her, "I know about his affairs, but none of his affairs came forward.",

"See, our mothers were best friends. King Luka--our father, met Xander mother first in 1804 on Undecim then a few months later, he went after mine. Yelena didn't know she was pregnant until he left her. Xander was born three months later, but my mother was already a month half pregnant with me. But again, he moved on before he could ever find out. Then your mother finally got pregnant wit you in 1807.", Bethany explained.

Lucas pressed his lips together tightly, "This--this can't be true.", he said coldly. "If that is true, why now? Why didn't they come forward when asked to.",

"Because our mothers were scared. They were young and didn't know what to do. They thought they were protecting us.", she said.

"Protecting you? What in the world from what?", he asked.

Xander looked up from his nails, "You wouldn't get it, Lucas. You're the heir, not us. We're bastards. Do you know how hard it would be for us? To be known as the King illegitimate children? It was already hard being known as some other guys bastard, but being known as the king would be much harder and humiliating. Even, our mother saved your father also from humiliation. You had the perfect family, we were stuck with the single mothers.",

"I still refuse to believe it.", Lucas said.

Xander got up from the chair and I noticed they were the same height, but Xander was a little more built, "How hard is it to believe?", he asked calmly. "Our father was an asshole. He's a good king, but a shitty father. You know this since you actually grew up with him. You may not want to believe this, but it's true. Our mothers had their innocents until our father came around and took them.",

Lucas angrily pressed his lips together and set forward to get in Xander face, "I don't believe you.", he dangerously whispered in a cold tone. Lucas turned around and walked up to the entrance of the palace.

"How about a DNA test?", Xander called out and Lucas stopped and turned around. His eyebrows forward together in confusion. "If your 'daddy' gets here, Bethany and I will take some of our blood and some of his. I can easily find out if we're also his kids or not. Simple as that. If we're not, we'll apologize and leave you alone. Deal?",
