Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Lucian frowned when the door did not open easily. He pushed it further from his shoulders but the wood did not even shake.

With a frown, he stared at his hands that started to engulf in a silver glow and then he pressed at the door again.,

It still showed a bit of resistance but opened with a bit more force. The door fell on the ground with a thud and he found more than two dozen kids who flinched and took a step back in the dark trying to hide their presence.

All of them have a lot of marks of injuries on their body. Their cheeks were swollen and their eyes were red and swollen with all those crying and pleading.

They were badly treated and injured to keep their mouth shut and looked nothing more than slaves.

But if they were slaves then they did not needed to be kept hidden since slavery is legal in the empire. He was the live example of that.

"My lady, I am sure that the kids are doing some illegal work for them or else even if he would beat them, he did not need to hide it.

Most of the masters did not treat their slaves like humans. They all were nothing but just animals. If you want, I can come back here to investigate the matter after escorting you and kids to a safe place." he offered but only silence mocked his offer.

He waited for her to say something but she did not. He turned back with a frown to see what the matter was when noticed that she had not entered the room when she was most anxious to see the kids.

Realization dawned on him as his eyes turned anxious and he lost all his senses. He forgot that he was hiding his powers when he broke through and his hair and eyes turned silver.

He ran out at full speed. His movements created a gale around him that blew the smaller things away making the kids tremble further.

They huddled closer to each other, leaning on the wall as if trying to be one with it when he found her unconscious while laying on the ground near the door.

He held her wrist with trembling hands and only to take a breath of relief and finally his shoulders relaxed.

He slumped down near her with the desire to wake her up and then slap her for scaring him but at the same time hold her gently in his arms, afraid that even air would be able to injure her further.

He laid down on the ground beside her while his hands wrapped around her waist. It was the only way for him to reassure that she was here with him and he was not in a nightmare.

How much time had passed when he felt the slight movement from the girl beside her. The slight trembling of her body and minor movement in her fingers when he sat up with a start and started to stare hard at her again.

She blinked her eyes a few times before opening them and looking around. Her head was feeling heavy and her body felt a burden when she tried to move.

She winced as she tried to move but he held her in her place.

"You should not move recklessly, you need rest!" yes! She did. I felt like all her bones broke and then joined again.

Her body felt so painful though she was sure she was only injured on her hands and head and a small wound of abdomen yet it felt like her whole body was burning in agony.

She smiled when she looked at him as she was worried that he would start shouting again while getting worried for her but instead of getting relaxed, he stared at her hard as if he would beat her and kill her that moment.

"What about the kids?" clearing her throat and looking away, she asked in a low voice as if she was trying not to agitate him further.

She knew that she was being too soft to him. He was her slave and if she wanted she could remind him that he had to follow her orders not the other way around but she knew that he was worried for her and all the wound he had gotten ws not part of his job.

She had dragged him into the mess because she felt the condition of kids was like her and tried to be braver but in the end, she proved herself a fool.

She still needed to train and be strong when it comes to close combat. Only guns and daggers were not able to save her.

"They are fine, just scared and have minor injuries. You are the one who needed immediate treatment, your injuries are…" worsening! He wanted to say that but the word died in his throat when he stared at her hands.

He startled and his hands fumbled on her arms with a confused look while shock was evident in his eyes.

He checked again and again and then his hands moved to her hairs where he stroked her hair and then shuffled them from one place to other only to widen his eyes further.

"Pardon me!" Before she could ask anything, he held her waist and the small tear made on her dress due to the dagger, he placed his cold fingers there and touched her skin when she flinched.

Her eyes narrowed and anger started to rise on her face. Taking a deep breath, she tried to sound rational as she did not want to shout at her single ally but she did not like how he was touching her carelessly.

"What are you doing? I know that you are worried about my wounds but touching them like that.."  Finally he raised his head and let go of her waist.

His eyes filled with shock and bewilderment but beneath them relief could be seen in them.

"My lady, your wounds are… healed!"
