Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Damien stared at the casket of her mother and then at the couple hugging each other. There was a lump formed in his throat too.

His mother.. He had never liked her. But that did not mean that he did not love her.

"Lord Damien, do you want to say something about your mother?" asked a man when he shook his head and turned to leave.

"Damien.. Where are you going?" he heard Rafael calling him but he did not listen or wait as he crossed the ground and then started running. He was running so fast that he could hear his heartbeat on his throat.

How much time had passed. He finally stopped when he was not able to run anymore. He paused and leaned on a tree when his body gave up and he slumped on the ground.

The image of his mother scolding him, complaining to him but hugging him later and then explaining to him started to roam in front of his eyes and his heart turned heavy.

He felt like he was not able to breathe. As if a strong rock was on his chest which did not let him breathe.

"Aahhh!" In the end, he shrieked loudly and took some breath as if he was dying and then covered his face with both of his hands.

He heard the sound of footsteps when his eyes turned red and he was ready to kill the person who dared to come closer to him.

He turned with his fangs threatening to cut anything when Vanesa took a step back.

"Damien! I was worried for you. I didn't mean to disturb you but i.. You just left like that." Damien closed his eyes and looked away.

"Leave Vanesa. I am not in the mood to talk." he warned but she bit her lips but did not move from her place.

"Damien, I know that you are upset over what happened. But now is not the time to drown in your pain but take revenge for what happened." she chided him when he frowned.

His cold and red eyes opened again and started at him as if asking what the fuck she was talking about! When she raised a brow.

"Don't tell me you believe what Rafael said to you!" she asked with a look of disbelief on her face, "do you think Diana can kill Scarlet? You don't even think it is necessary to ask her once before accepting it?" she shook her head, "and here i thought that you know about your sister."

He paused! It was not that he had accepted it just like that but when Rafael told him what happened, Diana was standing right there. She could have refused if that was not the case.

"Don't you think that sending you with two witches towards the south when this was going to happen here was too much of a coincidence. Not only that, when you return, your sister was in the prison with the blame of killing her own mother. Is it just fate or a planned trap?" her words grew the uneasiness in him and the anger he was feeling started to grow in his every nerve.

"Then why was Diana silent??" he asked back when she smiled, she knew that it was easy to use his anger.

"Because she was bewitched! I heard that she was with witches. She even drank something that the mother of Hazel gave her.

She was able to perform magic and what not. Do you think Diana in her sane mind would drink what witches would give her? She was being used!

Witches framed her to show that vampires are not that strong and maybe someone wanted to get rid of her and Scarlet and used this way to get rid of both of them at once." she said in a meaningful tone as she walked closer to him and held his shoulders.

"You know better than me not to trust anyone easily. I am not asking you to believe in me but go and check what happened. I have always been a good friend of Diana and I can not accept this foolish story. You have to bring justice and I will help you no matter what it costs me. So, are you Damien?" she looked deep into his eyes when he started hard at her as her words started to sink in and in the end he nodded his head.

"I will go back and try to find the truth. And if what you are saying is true, then I will kill each and every single witch with my own hands." The poison in his voice made her nerves go berserk too.

She nodded her head and patted his shoulders as he hugged her a minute before they both left from there.

Everyone had left the burial grounds with only Rafael and Hazel standing there when he returned. Even Diana was gone.

"What kind of childish act was that? You have to grow now Damien. You are not a kid anymore." Rafael chided when he saw Damien returning alone.

"I want you to stay in your room until you feel better. You do not need to come to the council or office for the meantime." he added when Damien did not reply and wasn't expecting any response when the man finally raised his head and stared at Rafael.

His gaze made Hazel uneasy. As if he was having negative thoughts but she kept her silent when he smiled.

"Why? Do you want to get rid of me too, Rafael? Do you not want me to know what is happening in the council or is there any other secret you are trying to hide from me?"

"......" Rafael stared at Damien with a calm face when he realized that he was still agitated.

"Damien i know that it is hard to believe and everything happened so fast but…

"Haha! Oh my! You do not need to be so serious, Rafael. You know me, right? I was just joking."
