Ch-18
Eudora, Lenora, Adira, Serene, Zaros, and Maximus were in a dilemma as they walked back to the castle. But they knew they have to act normal. “Lady Eudora, I guess we shall discuss things about weddings from now only. We only have a month,” Serene said. “Yes, We shall have a meeting,” Eudora said. Without a break, Adira was mercilessly dragged into the meeting hall along with those elders and her mothers. They talked about dresses, ornaments, decorations, servants, food, drinks, flowers, chairs, tables, glasses, tables!!! Spoons!!! What the hell…. They spoke about every fucking single thing. Adira just wanted to crawl out of the room and rest. She mindlinked to her brother. “Brother….” Adira cried in Maximus's mind space. [What is it?”A month later… The day of two grand weddings… Two handsome men were standing at the altar under brightly glowing moonlight. Their faces reflected under the white glow of the moon rays as they waited for their brides to walk through the aisle. Maximus wanted to see how his bride would look in the wedding dress. He may not trust her completely but he could say she was trying to make him trust while she was putting all her trust in him. He wants to know what made her trust a stranger than her family. Maybe he needs to know a little about her. That was when the sound of trumpets could be heard. As the two brides entered the wedding hall the whole venue went silent. To Maximus… for the first time, he didn't notice his sister but his fiancee. Lenora wore a dirty white floor-length dress embedded with crystals with a sweetheart neck made of organza fabric that showed a decent amount of cleavage. Her cleavage was covered with a transparent layer dress embellished with shiny crystals th
Ch-20Adira waited for her newlywed husband in his chambers. She was confused about his behavior. They were alright a few days ago. He was flirting with her, giving her gifts, and smiling at her.Then what happened suddenly after that day's breakfast was an eye opener or shocking thing for her. He acted violently towards her. He was threatening her, warning her, and scaring her. This didn't happen before. Then why now?She doesn't know what's wrong with him. One thing was sure she was scared of him.She fidgeted with her fingers as she waited for him patiently. They were supposed to have a meal together before they attended the dinner banquet. During the dinner banquet, they would be occupied with toasting others, talking with them, and accompanying them. They won't have time to eat. So, they were provided with food earlier in the banquet.Since it's a banquet the couple wouldn't be given some alone time. And this first meal would give them some alone time to them.Adira wondered if h
Ch-21Time passed along with her thoughts. There were only one and a half hours for the banquet. In half an hour her maids would come and start dressing her up for the banquet all over again. Yet, her husband hasn't arrived.Feeling disappointed, she went out and asked the servants to know where her husband was."My Lady, The Vampire King hasn't stayed back after the wedding," the servants said.Just then Eudora who came to check on her newlywed daughter-in-law was surprised to see her standing. According to her son's behavior, his wife wouldn't have time to come out of the chambers. This was something surprising for her."Where is Zaros?" Eudora asked."Mother, I ask the same. He hasn't arrived. The food turned cold already. I am waiting for him," Adira said worriedly.Eudora's eyes narrowed in dissatisfaction with her son. She hid it well and looked at her daughter-in-law."You have your food. Maids will come and get you ready. Don't wait for him. Those old men didn't even let hi
"Zaros…" she wanted to ask if he was real Zaros or did someone possessed him. But before she could speak further he approached her at a vampire speed clutching her neck as he pressed her back to the table making her back hurt in pain."Don't call me Zaros with your filthy mouth. Call me ' My Lord', bitch," he said as he called her profanity.Adira's eyes widened at his words. He has no respect for her. She expected a loveless marriage already but not a marriage without respect. She wants to protest and say something but his grip only tightened around her making her choke.She fearful nodded at him making him loosen his grip on her." Eww… I touched your disgusting neck. I need a bath," he said as he shook his hand as if he was trying to remove the dust.At those words, more tears welled from her eyes. She was so less in his eyes that she couldn't be compared to a living being. She was equal to dirt or even more. She didn't like it. She wanted to scream and cry but she held it on. Aft
Ch-23Adira felt her world come to a halt seeing him behave like this. She knew they had a few disagreements but she thought they could sort them out after this wedding.He was acting abnormally from the day he gave her a necklace for breakfast. It's as if he was under a spell. She felt tired and drained after all the things that happened. She didn't even have the energy to think about what he did to her.Her brain was shutting down along with her eyelids. But she shook her head and ate her part of the food. She let her maids get her ready for the banquet. She was left alone to greet others. While her husband greeted the elders on his own after they were done doing the segments they were supposed.When someone asked him where his wife was he replied saying that, he made her sit as he was afraid of her getting tired. Many teased him and her. But deep down in her heart, she knew what his intentions were.After the painful banquet, she returned to her chambers. She wasn't allowed to eat
Ch-24(1) Adira decided to do something that would make her feel more miserable. She didn’t join the dining table frequently. Adira had food when Zaros was absent in the chambers. She arranged a mattress for herself to sleep on the floor in the dressing room so she doesn’t get bashed. Her mother informed her that there would be a lady’s day. Maybe she can get some information about her husband from her sister-in-law. This way her suffering would end a little. With these little hopes, she got up and got ready for the lady’s day as a new bride. She deserves happy marriage just like others. It’s not wrong to give it a try. Lady’s day is a perfect opportunity. After she was done getting ready, her mother came with a maid with a drink. “Drink this, and follow your maid to the lady’s wing,” Serene said to Adira. Adira nodded and drank the weird drink. She was guided to the lady’s wing. Her sister-in-law was still missing. She got to know that her mother went to bring her. Even Leno
Ch-25(1) "So, we will pick a baby or infant who is about to die or will die young and turn them into vampires. Or if humans make a deal with us in exchange for something we will take them and turn them into our potential successors," Eudora explained. "Also… there is a myth that the hymen is a layer and when a man penetrates it will break and comes out of the women's vagina. It's wrong actually… a hymen will have a hole. When a man penetrates the hole will stretch," Eudora added again. Serene nodded as if agreeing to Eudora's words. On the other hand, Many things made a point to Lenora but there was one thing that made her mull over. New doubts aroused in her mind when she heard Eudora's words. As Lenora thought about it… she felt she was more different than usual. Lenora always thought she was never fit in the vampire race. Now… hearing Eudora's words… she even started doubting whether if she was a vampire or not. Wait… isn't Ophelia a special case? Maybe rising her topic and know
Ch-26"Sister-in-law~~" she called cutely."Fine, fine… he isn't a picky eater. But won't say no to yummy food. Likes blood which is heated and mixed with chocolate," Lenora said."Won't that be weird?" Adira asked with a frown."Indeed… but that's his taste. What can I do?" Lenora said."Sigh… he is so weird," Adira said thinking of Zaros."Indeed," Lenora agreed.There was a comfortable silence between them for a while. No one made an attempt to talk with each other."I am kind of scared of him. He is so grumpy all the time," Adira said."Well… he is raised to be a king. So… he was taught to be suspicious of everything. Even when he was served food… he would do a poison check before eating. He is that suspicious. When you get closer to him… he will do and give everything he can to you to protect you," Lenora said."Oh," Adira said."It will take time to understand him… but he is a good man," Lenora added.There was another wave of thick silence enveloped them."So why don't you fulf
