Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

He had thought that the handcuffs given by Anne had controlled her powers completely but looking at Diana, it didn't look like the case.

Hazel passed her a side glance and then turned to leave but he held her hands again.

"Can we at least talk and you explain that why are you so against being called Bella and so adamant that i will call you hazel? In the end both names belong to you." She really wanted to crack his head open and see what was inside.

"How could someone be so clueless?" She had told him so many times that she was not Bella anymore but in the end, he didn't even know the difference between them.

"I do not care if you are called hazel or Bella. I want you as long as it is you. Do not leave me. At least give me a chance to understand your issues and solve them.

Running away will not bring any solution, love!" she raised a brow as the endearment when he struggled his shoulders, "i did not want to start another fight because of names. As long as you are my lover, my wife, who cares what your name is.

In fact, if you want, we can always choose a new name for you and me. Something that only we use for each other?" he asked with a suggestive look on his face as he pulled her in his arms.

She shook her head. He was beyond explanation. But even she was tired of fighting with him. Now that she had beaten him so many times, she was feeling better.

"This is your last chance." she harrumphed coldly when he nodded his head easily. As long as she was here!

"Shall we go in? I am feeling exhausted and hungry." and without waiting for her reply, he held her in his arms and then started walking towards his room.

Many councilmen who were looking from afar looked at the direction of the loving couple with confusion.

They have been told that both of them were fighting and it was Bella who was winning by beating the man again and again.

They were so curious that they have left all their work and were collected here to see what was happening only to stumble upon the scene where the girl was holding his shoulders and he was princess carrying her.

In the past, Rafael used to pass them a smug look with arrogance as if he was showing off his wife while Hazel always bowed her head with a shy look but now Hazel was looking at them with arrogance while Rafael was looking annoyed that they were standing in his way.

He ignored them as if they were flies and walked straight to his room and closed the door with a bang.

He placed her on the bed without letting go of her hands and then sat beside her.

He leaned on her lap. She tried to shove him away but he did not budge.

"I know that you have become physically stronger and you have a lot of magic tricks under your sleeves but I am thoroughly tired of playing cat and mice with you.

Let me rest for a bit so that we can talk like mature adults." she snickered when she thought that he was using her victim card to get sympathy but when she noticed his pale face, she stopped.

"When was the last time you had your meal?" she asked with furrowed brows. Her veins could be seen bulging and his eyes had turned darker.

His fangs were already peeking out of his mouth that was showing he was starving for ages.

"Before Anne had taken you away when your seal broke." he took a deep breath and she could feel his exhaustion.

"I was busy searching for you but just when I found you. I was called by the council and when I came back, you were gone again.

I searched you like crazies only to find that lunatic witch had taken you.

Do you think I would have time to sit and feed myself when you were fighting with a witch?" he asked with a raised brow but then sighed, "but just when I thought that it all ended and I will take some rest in your arms, you vanished again!" She could see how hard he was trying to control his anger.

His hands were clenching and unclenching and his nerves were bulging.

"Do you have any idea how i felt when you vanished thrice in two weeks. How I have searched for you like crazy. There was no stone left that I did not upturn to find you, and here you are fighting with me and beating me as if I am your enemy.

Tell me, do you not love me anymore?

I heard that you have proposed to Lucian that you will leave with him when everything ends." his tone turned accusing and his eyes filled with pain.

He looked at her as if she was a heartless cruel woman who did not care about love at all, "you knew the truth. You know how I am searching for you and waiting for you all this while. Yet you decided to leave me alone to bear all this pain and lonesomeness.

Did you not feel an ounce of guilt while running away just because you did not like how I addressed you.

Does your name matter more than my feelings towards you?" he asked in a low voice as if he was crumbling.

His face looked so lonesome, so dejected that she did not know how to reply to him.

It was not just a name but there was no denying that he had suffered a lot.

"Tell me hazel!" he whispered in her ears as he blew on them. Kissing them gently, he asked in a deep voice, "do you not feel anything when i come closer to you and touch you?"
