The Bride Of The Vampire King

#TWENTY- FOUR HOURS BEFORE DR. STEVE MET MILA IN HER ROOM#

Steve had just returned from the laboratory. Even after discussing this matter with several higher- ups from the research center that they should agree to exterminate the vampire woman, what he wanted did not go as smoothly as he had hoped.

Because most of them agreed with Dr. Drake, that Mila was still very valuable to be the object of their research.

She was the only noble member of vampires, whom they have managed to capture during these fifty years and now that the vampire woman had finally regained her consciousness, of course she had become more important as there were some things they couldn't learn while Mila was unconscious.

Like for example what was the nature and behavior of the vampires, how they would interact with each other, or how would they react in certain situations.

Of course, this information was important. With this knowledge, they could find out their weak points and also dig deeper into what they should learn to deal with the vampires in the future.

The war between humans and vampires was increasingly rampant, especially the attack from the vampires last time. Their massacre nearly swallowed all of the residents of two bigger towns, taking many lives.

It happened because the humans cut off their energy supply, starving them and making them much more brutal and violent than usual.

This war between vampires and humans didn't seem to be coming to an end anytime soon, or maybe it would only end if one of them was wiped out of the face of the earth.

"FUCK!" Steve cursed very loudly as soon as he was alone in the elevator.

This research center was an underground unit and was heavily guarded, while the upper part of this research unit was a military base where no one or any creature could enter the security of this place. Well, at least that was what they thought, because they still weren't aware of the existence of beings who had the ability to possess souls like Aaric did…

The elevator took Steve through several floors, but as soon as he reached the fourth floor, which was the floor Mila was being confined, Steve suddenly pressed the stop button and exited the floor.

No one knew what he was thinking right now, but he certainly felt displeased with their decision to keep Mila alive just because she had royal blood running through her veins, which made her the best bargaining 'chip' with the vampires, as they truly valued the vampires with that status.

And even more so because they knew that the king of the vampires had been looking for a mate for decades, which turned to be Mila.

"You bitch," Steve snorted with hatred as the idiots' excuses rang in his ears again. They prefer to side with Dr. Miller and Dr. Drake. "Vampire king, my ass!"

Steve's anger seemed only getting worse as he walked down the hall which would lead him to the room where Mila was still unconscious.

For some reason, his emotions grew out of control as he approached the research room which was at the end of this hallway.

Maybe, for some people, who didn't pay much attention, there was nothing strange about Steve. But if they looked closely, they would notice that there was something odd about his shadow. Steve's shadow that fell on the wall, seemed to be chasing him, as if it was not the part of him, but something alive...

After Steve arrived at the research room, there were only three people on guard there, one of whom was Dr. Drake, who was checking the monitor, which displayed Mila's condition in complicated graphs.

While the other two people were checking the papers, which were reports on the development of this female vampire's condition.

"Dr. Steve, what are you doing here?" One of them asked when he realized Steve had come. "Isn't your time over already?"

Steve ignored the man's words and immediately walked toward the glass door that separated himself from the room where Mila was lying on the bed and Dr. Drake who stood beside her.

The strange shadow was still following Steve...

On the other hand, noticing there was a bit of commotion out there, Aaric raised his head and saw Steve's figure having squabble with two people who asked him to come out, but were rudely refused.

For a moment Aaric ignored the commotion, until his eyes caught the odd thing that was behind Steve and immediately pressed the intercom button to talk to the three people behind the glass door.

"Leave him alone, you two can go out for a bit," Aaric said, his eyes glaring at Steve, or rather at the odd shadow following the man.
