Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

528  A Blood Hungry Beast

Hazel stood there frozen. The words had been told to her a thousand times by Stefan but she never paid attention to him. But now..

"Don't say that… there must be some way!" she shook her head adamantly. No! She was not going to believe it. She was told that he would never wake up, but here he was standing in front of her. If a miracle could happen, then others would be too. "There must be some way!"

Rafael shook his head.

"I can feel the throbbing pain in my heart and desire to attack every single person I laid my eyes on. My senses had always been strong. I could hear the voices from another corner of the palace, I could hear the heartbeat of maids around me and I could hear the footsteps of people walking around me. But I have always been able to control them and pay attention only to the voices I wanted to hear.

But now.. Everything had increased tenfold and I could not control it. And every time I hear a voice, I want to attack that person and suck their blood until they die.

 I am not safe for people around me. I did not want to be the demon I have fought with all my life." she shook her head further as she tried to take a step closer and hug him but he jumped back increasing the distance between them.

"Rafael!" There was so much pain in her voice that he closed his eyes and looked away.

"You know.. Either as Bella or Hazel.. You have always asked me for a place where everyone could live with peace. Where no one would fight with others just because they belong to a different race.

You wanted all the witches and vampires to live together like us." he smiled softly. Though he did not go closer, he had seen witches working in this new palace with humans and vampires respecting both of them. "I have finally fulfilled my promise to you. And the promise to my mother that I would be a fine ruler and would get the position of my father back.

The dream of Scarlet where vampires did not need to worry about the attack of witches ever." he chuckled, he knew that she wanted him to kill all the witches to make that dream true. But it was done in a different way. "She would have frowned and gritted her teeth if she would have heard me." Although he was smiling, Hazel felt a lump forming in her throat.

Her words felt like it was a goodbye and she could not bear it.

"That means, we have done impossible things together. Why are you so sure that we can not treat you then?" she wiped the tears and looked at him with resolute eyes. Now was not the time to act weak. "You know many new witches have emerged as healers these days. My powers may be dark but all of them have the power of light. The power of god, I am sure they can help you." she pleaded when he smiled.

"I know that you will not give up." he closed his eyes and she could feel the strain on his face. The strong and mighty Rafael who had always stood with a broad back in front of her was staggering now. She could not fathom how much strength it would have taken to accept his death.

"I did not want to give up too. For you.. For our child." he smiled as he looked at her grown belly. "How many months are left?" he asked with a soft look, when he opened his eyes this time, they were crimson again.

"Just a month and a half. Then our child would be with us." she smiled back when he nodded. "He wants you more than me." she added when he laughed.

"Then two months ago. That is the most I can fight the urge of killing everyone around me.'' He looked at the sky as if he was waiting for the gods to come and help him, "it is unbearable, Hazel. The urge to drink blood and kill others is unbearable. I would not be able to fight for long." he whispered and then suddenly his face turned hard and he looked behind her.

She saw with horror how his crimson eyes turned black again and his fangs started to peak. She turned to find a maid had followed her and was smiling at the lord.

"My lord, you are back." the maid smiled, though she felt terror in her heart but she still bowed her head with respect when hazel heard a growl.

"Leave from here!" she shouted at once, shocking the maid who only knew Hazel to be kind and softspoekn.

She raised her head in confusion when Hazel gritted her teeth and pushed the maid away. "I asked you to get the hell out of here." This time the maid was scared as she staggered a bit and then turned and ran from there when Hazel turned and held Rafael in her arms.

He was growling and shaking with all his veins bulging like a beast, he was ready for hunt. He growled and tried to get free so that he could pounce on the maid and kill her at once.

Hazel shook her head. She looked at her index finger which grew a dark black nail in an instant and she made a small cut on her neck with it.

"I know that you are hungry..'' Rafael grunted and growled as he struggled further but his attention soon went to the blood coming out from her neck when she smiled but tears flew from her eyes again, "then what are you waiting for? No one would have more delicious blood than me?" she offered as she held her hair and swept them to the other side when his eyes grew darker and he dug his fangs in her neck.
