Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

Chapter 261 [Bonus chapter] Who Deserves Her?



When their eyes met and the background ceased to exist. His eyes stared at her deeply. He had thought that he would stumble away but she continued to live above him while staring into his eyes.

“Hazel, what are you..”

“You have intentionally sold yourself to me so that you can reach Rafael, right?” The question took him off guard.

She must have deduced it after knowing that he was a witch and could not be caught that easily. His mind raked for excuses but when he stared at her clear eyes, that already knew the trust, he nodded his head.

“Hazel, I know that you think I betrayed you but I can explain!” she could see the panic and desire to gain her trust again in his eyes.

He had saved her many times. And though he had always been rude enough to not behave like a slave, he was genuinely concerned over her safety and placed his life in danger many times to save her.-.

“That meant, you were never my slave to begin with. Did you come there to kill Rafael?” she asked in a blank tone.

He tried hard to know what she was feeling while staring at her eyes but they were too clear. He could not understand whether she was angry or not through them.

He only felt that if he would lie to her at this moment, he would lose their bond for forever though he was not sure if there was a bond at the first place!

“No! I came there to bring him and you closer. My coven thinks that if he would have his lost love back in his life, he would stop hating the witches.

There is a legend that he wanted to kill all the witches since each of them had played a role in killing his lover who was a dark witch.” she nodded her head. She had heard the same story from Rafael too.

He wanted to kill all of them because he blamed each of them for the death of his lover, Isabella. Though she did not know how each of them had played a role in killing a single person.

He and legend must be exaggerating it.

“But why do you think that being with me could bring a change? He did not love me. He only looked at me as a tool in the start and now as an ally.

He had promised me that he would free me when the war among humans and vampires would end this time.

He had never thought to take me back with him.” a tinge of pain could be seen in her eyes but she covered it fast enough to not be sure if he really saw it or it was just an illusion.

“So.. you are not a real married couple?” he had thought that they were just not close enough but love each other. If he would help a bit they would express it soon but if she was right, she was never his wife to begin with.

It was all a show for this world.

“You can say so!” she took a deep breath and tried to sturdy herself to stand up but he held her.

He was feeling a constant flow of warmth from her body. The moment she tried to move, he felt that a void was creating there. He did not want to face that cold again after enjoying the warmth of her.

“So.. you are single all this time?” he asked again with a clear meaning behind his words when she raised a brow.

A charming smile formed on her fair face and her perfect eyebrows moved in a questioning look.

“Didn’t you say that you are here to bring me closer to him?” a hint of teasing could be felt in her melodious voice that he flushed.

His face turned embarrassed but a hint of annoyance could be seen in it.

“Yes, but he did not deserve you!” he mumbled softly but he was sure that she would be able to listen clearly with the proximity they were sharing.

His hands were on her back while she was holding his collar. There was no hint of annoyance on her face and all he wished was time to stop there.

He had seen her from afar all this while. Even if they were standing closer or sitting together. He kept reminding himself that she did not belong to him and would never do.

No matter how much he desired to be with her. She would never look at him like a woman would look at a man. But now.. If Rafael was never there in the first place.

Didn’t it mean that he had a chance from the start. He heard her laughing over his words but soon the laughter vanished and a wary look filled her face.

She was looking upset. Could it be that she had feelings for him? He stared at her with so many questions on his face but he did not dare to ask any of it.

“Then.. Do you deserve me?” she asked, finally looking back at him and he froze.

His whole body turned rigid instantly and he felt his heart leaping out of his rib cage. How in the world could she be so direct? He felt embarrassed as he looked away.

But when he felt that she was not asking again, he frowned. What if she felt that it was a refusal when he said nothing. With that thought, panic returned in his eyes and his eyes snapped back in her direction when he felt a teasing smile from there.

He realized he was behaving like a teenager boy behaving in front of the girl he likes. But he did not care anymore. This was his first and maybe the last chance, so he nodded his head like a rattle drum and if that was not enough, he whispered softly, “yes, hazel i like you and if you give me a chance then i will show how much i deserve you.”
