Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

"A strong demon?" the eyes of hazel widened. But she did not see him among the demons. "He was…" she paused and looked away.

"Yes, he was acting all this time and you did not need to feel bad about it. It was my mistake to believe him so easily." she sighed and closed her eyes.

"But.."

"When i took him from there, it took him hardly a few minutes to wake up but he was ot letting me go to come help you.'' Her words were choking in her throat that Hazel felt a needle was pierced into her heart.

She moved closer and hugged the girl. Anne hugged back but shook her head.

"I am not that weak. So, you did not need to cry over it. And I punched him and kicked him on his jewel so, you do not need to worry about that revenge too." she said with a chuckle but her voice was still faint.

"I am just glad that you came out of the situation unscathed." was that even worth it though.

Hazel did not need to listen to know what happened there. She felt hurt for the girl.

"Did he.. Care for you or not?" she asked in a tone full of cautiousness as she let Anne go and stared at her face when Anne furrowed her brows.

She was not expecting that question.

"Does it matter? He tried to hurt you, my family. How could I reciprocate his feelings even if he liked me and.." she took a deep breath trying to hold her emotion, "he is a demon."

"Aah! That..!" Hazel laughed awkwardly as she looked at the door. Shall she tell Anne how their mother had eccentrically spent a night with a demon or why she wanted to kill her.

She stared at the curious but hurt face of her sister and bit her lips.

Anne loved her so much because she thought they were real sisters. What if her viewpoint changed when she came to know that she was the daughter of a demon and her mother..!

No! She would not let that happen.

"We had a truce with demons. They are not enemies anymore. They were just summoned to sacrifice me. And we have somehow solved the matter without it." the eyes of Anne only narrowed at Hazel as if asking how could that be.. But Hazel looked away.

"Hazel, if you are lying then.." hazel shook her head as she held hands of anne and rubbed them slowly,

"No! I am not lying. So, if you want to give him a second chance, I will not mind. After all, he must be only working under orders." Anne looked away, it took her a few seconds to shake her head.

"No! I did not want to be with someone who had come with ulterior motives." she saw how Hazel opened her mouth to protest and added with a firm face, "and i did not want to discuss it further. I am still tired and want to rest."

Anne looked away and closed her eyes while covering herself with the blanket.

Hazel nodded her head and stood up. She gave her one more look, afraid that Anne was hurt and she was suffering alone but she could not push her further.

She sighed again as she closed the door behind her.

Rafael was already leaning on the wall when she came out. His eyes were closed and a clam smile on his face.

If only, she could be this carefree too. She kept staring at his face for a few more seconds before wrapping her arms around his waist.

"You should not be that harsh on yourself. It was not your mistake." without saying a single word by her, he already knew that Hazel was blaming herself for all this.

"If there is to blame someone, it is your mother! She could not let go of you even when a lifetime had passed!" If only he could kill that woman freely, all of their troubles would be solved in an instant.

"I do not want to talk about her for now. I want to have some rest too. I feel.. It had been a lifetime since we had spent a night together. Do you not want me in your arms anymore?" his grip on her back tightened as he looked at her with a fiery look in his eyes.

But when he noticed his worn out face and pale look he shook his head.

"It would be better that you go and sleep instead of inviting a beast in your room. Go! I will look for the complete process of making you the queen and preparing for your coronation when you would be resting." he pushed her away when she frowned.

"Are you refusing me?" she asked with a raised brow when he smacked her ass playfully,

"Yes, you are a horny kid that needed to be punished by locking you in an empty room." he rubbed the place where he had smacked when she glared at him but he only chuckled and placed both his hands on her shoulders and started pushing her with some force.

Hazel muttered something under her breath as she looked at him with resentment.

She had thought that he would give in but till the end, he pushed her in the room and closed the door from outside as he had said leaving her alone in the room.

She sighed and laid on the bed. The locked door was nothing for her. He had forgotten that she could fly out of the window or melt the door if she did not know the spell of opening the door.

But she let it go. Lying on the bed was not that bed. The heaviness was crushing her chest already.

But the face of Declan and Anne laughing together and the glow of the face did not let go of her eyes whenever she closed them.

In the end, she sat up on the bed with a start.

"If you are what she needs, I will give you another chance."
