Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Veline smirked as she stared at the council member struggling in front of her eyes.

She had felt infuriate when he was talking about them as if they were some pests, vermilion that deserve to die under his feet or treated like slaves.

"You have said that you would give me the antidote if I have successfully come here?" he spat as he looked at him with gritted teeth, "you have promised that you will help me in living."

If not, he would not have been bearing the presence of a witch. But this one was strangers and by the looks of it, it looked like it had been a long time since she was there.

Rafael must have known that keeping the witches in their home was completely against the rule of council, since witches had stronger power than average humans.

He was going to use this chance against Rafael and get him punished by the council.

Just a few proofs and then he would be able to take over his position. He was glad about this plan but when he looked at the witch he felt uneasiness.

As if she knew what he was thinking about when he stared at the cold sweat on the face of the man and burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" though with trouble, he used his full force to glare at her but she just shook her head.

"You should save your energy for your survival, the more you struggle the pain will only increase and you will suffer further." she shook her head and looked at him with pity when he gritted his teeth.

"What have you done with me? Help me right now?" She raised a brow when she heard him commanding her as if he owned her.

His voice and face was filled with hatred for her but she did not care since she hated him equally.

If not for Rafael sending men again and again to drink her blood, she would not have fallen to this measure.

"You should learn when to concede. Your arrogance will kill you!" she exclaimed with a frown as she looked at his struggling face.

"If you want to survive, you have to bow your head in front of me and accept my authority over you." she commanded when the man snickered.

But just as he was about to humiliate with his words, he felt the pain in his chest increasing.

A smirk formed on her face when he winced and his face distorted. He looked in pain so much that she knew he would give up soon.

"If you do not neatly serve allegiance with me, you can leave. I will ask someone else to help me." she said in a cold tone as she turned to hide in the dark corner of the cell.

Albert bit his lips. He wanted to refuse but he could not bear the pain anymore.

He bit his lips with full force and then shouted, "wait! Tell me what do you want me to do?" Veline stopped in her tracks and then laughed.

It was easier than she had thought!

She turned to look at him leisurely.

"Hmm, first you have to win my trust only then i can alleviate your pain." his eyes darkened and narrowed at the witch but to save his life he could only concede.

He did not even know what spell she had placed on him, so he could only nod.

"Better! It was not that difficult. Was it?" she tilted her head and laughed at his misery.

"Hmm for the start, I want  you to place this power in the drink of Rafael. It would be better that it would be mixed in the drink of Hazel too." only the thought of it cherished her.

"How in the world would I do that??" he shook his head with disbelief in his eyes. It was fine that the witch wanted to die but why was she dragging him with her.

"You do not have to worry about anything. All you need to do is.. Go out and mix it. Until you do that, no one will be able to see or feel your presence. So, it would not be that difficult. Would it?" he asked with a raised brow as she waited for him to come forward and take the small glass bottle that was filled with a dark green liquid.

He hesitated for a second but when he remembered the cold and mocking face of Rafael, he let go of the worries.

"And to help you, you will not feel the pain until you achieve your task. And once you fulfill your duties, I will take the pain away for forever. Is it not a good deal, Albert?" she asked with a sweet smile on her face as if she was a caring and docile woman that Albert could only nod.

It was indeed a win win. He took the glass bottle from her hands and stared at them.

"Make sure that you mix it in something except water or the color change would show the truth. And mix a minimum of half of the bottle in the drink you have chosen. It would not be that difficult. Would it?"  he held the bottle tightly and shook his head.

She nodded with a smile and touched his chest by taking out her hands from the space between the bars of the cell.

The moment she touched him, the pain subsided and he was able to take breath again.

"Now hurry! I didn't have much time." she said with a sigh when the vampire flinched and nodded his head.

He had never thought that he would take the orders from a witch. But when he looked at the bottle in his hands, his eyes turned cold.

He was tired of the dominance of Rafael. If Rafael would not be there anymore. Maybe he gets the chance to lead both vampires and humans, ending up in his complete control over the council.

With that thought a smirk formed on his face,. "What would be better than sharing a glass of wine among old friends?"
