The Bride Of The Vampire King

Liam unclasped Mila's clenched hand, letting the still unconscious girl droop her head on his shoulder.

Mila's forehead wrinkled and her eyebrows furrowed, as if she was experiencing a terrifying nightmare.

Earlier, Liam had been told by Arabella that it was possible that Mila had lost her memory after decades of experimentation on her by those bastard people.

Arabella knew this because she had been observing Mila for quite a long time without Aaric knowing it. In fact, when she decided to appear before Aaric, it was her own impulsive decision that was not at all in line with Liam's commands.

And although their plan to pick Mila up almost failed because Aaric had taken her away, as long as Liam could get this girl again, he would use every possible  means to get her back to his side.

So, by ignoring the strict prohibition of the elders, Liam broke all the rules they made and came for Mila.

Who would have thought that at that critical moment, Mila actually lost control because her wild instincts took over?

But, now things were better and Liam got what he needed.

Once again, Liam glanced at Mila, whose body was now covered by his black robe to cover her blood stained shirt. It was Liam himself who had cleaned the blood stains on Mila's cheeks and didn't let anyone else touch her. This was a vampire's possessive attitude toward something they consider to be theirs. Especially if this was about their partner.

"There were thirteen vampires who died in clashes with humans," Andreas reported to Liam. He sat next to the driver, on the passenger seat while the other vampire drove the car, bringing them back to their territory. They needed to reach the castle as soon as possible. "The elders will be very angry."

As they had expected, the special forces immediately flooded the place as soon as they got reports that there were vampires losing control and killing humans, as well as there were several vampires swarming the area in relatively large numbers.

Thus, the only way to escape the situation was through a fierce fight, physical contact between the vampires and the humans with their weapons.

All of that was inevitable and they were lucky that none of the humans were aware that the vampire king was among them, because otherwise, the special forces would not only be in a defensive position, but they would attack ruthlessly to get Liam killed.

And if something bad happened to Liam and he died, then it was an end for the vampires, because Liam was their last king, the last descendant of the Dageus clan.

"I will talk to them once we get there," Liam said calmly.

Andreas, on the other hand, could only sigh heavily, facing Liam's stubbornness.

The king was notoriously quiet and never raised his voice like previous kings, but that did not mean he did not inherit their stubbornness.

"At least, we got the queen back now." Andreas looked at Mila for a moment. "I think the elders will let it slide this time."

Only Andreas could talk casually to Liam, when there were not many people around them.

Liam did not respond to his concerns. The problems he would face with the elders would be a business he could deal with later, because now his mind was filled with other important thoughts.

Since Mila had returned, it meant he would have to face the inevitable when she was awake.

The journey to their castle and entering their territory took quite an enormous distance and a long time from the city center, but when they had reached the palace, Mila was still unconscious, the girl was still trapped in her nightmare.

==============       

Mila woke up with a trembling body, her breathing was ragged.

At that very moment, Mila sat down to observe her surroundings and like a very old memory, she knew this room well.

This was the room of Liam Dageus, the vampire king and now Mila was lying on his bed.

How could she be here? Even according to the rules, the king and queen did not have a room together, moreover Mila's status was not a queen yet.

"How do you feel? Feeling better?" Liam asked, walking gracefully across the room, while behind him, thick curtains covered the window, but from the light behind it, Mila knew it was daytime, where the sun was shining brightly.

For vampires with noble blood, sunlight might only slightly injure them, but not with ordinary vampires, they could be killed because of it. Their resistance was worlds apart.

"I feel like I want to kill you," Mila replied briefly.

Liam stopped walking, just a few steps from Mila, who was still sitting on the bed. "Other people will die for saying that."

"Are you going to kill me like you did to my sister?" Mila asked fiercely.
