Loved By a Vampire King-Chapter 596: Offering herself

Meanwhile in Elizabeth’s room, a tense atmosphere was airing as Arthur waited for her response. She didn’t seem in panic and let out a helpless sigh. She knew that like the other times, Alexander was going to leave her alone to hide his feelings in front of Arthur. So, she waited for Alexander to make his own decision.

No one talked and Elizabeth said with a light snort,

" Just go if you want to. I don’t need your healing powers."

Alexander cocked his head to look at her intensely. She had already turned around to climb on the bed but a pair of strong arms grabbed onto her from behind. Alexander responded with a determined voice,

" I am not going anywhere without healing you. Let him wait there. I don’t care if he finds us or not. Your recovery is the most important thing now."

Elizabeth was stunned for a few seconds. Before she could reply, she felt him, getting closer to her back. A shudder left her lips when his fingers came in contact with her bare back. She bit her lips together hard to make any sound. His touch was gentle and soothing yet she couldn’t stop herself from getting goosebumps.

Her face flushed with embarrassment when his fingers spread to cover the entire space. He rubbed on the bruises slowly and the light red bruises began to disappear one after another.

Alexander whispered into her ears, rubbing and caressing as he felt her growing stiff, 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

" You are standing like a stone statue. Interesting! Has your new wings given you new feelings?"

Elizabeth didn’t say anything as she was more focused in controlling her emotions. She was so distracted on her sensations that she forgot to notice his other hand which had now came forward to settle on her neck. Alexander’s gaze darkened, gazing down at the spot, down to her neckline. It was a vampire’s instinct to feel the fangs aching and itching when they came in contact with their favourite person. Regarding Elizabeth, he had imagined countless times to drink her blood while making love to her. But he respected her choice always and never crossed the boundary.

Alexander breathed heavily, swallowing repeatedly to control his thirst. It had been a long time that he had drank from a person. Most of his days had spent in Dalastia. So, he couldn’t find his own sweet prey. Elizabeth let out a small gasp when she sensed his frequent heavy breath on her neckline. Even though she wasn’t a vampire herself, she knew the meaning of it. Growing next to vampires from childhood to adulthood, she had learnt how they feel or their natural instincts.

Elizabeth muttered, taking a deep breath,

" You...Alex..are you..."

" Don’t talk! I.. just need a few seconds..I will leave by then..", Alexander cut off hastily, trying hard to focus on his powers only but the blood flowing underneath her veins became his huge distraction. It took all his strength to stop his thirst from getting out of control. Thanks to his long time practice, he managed to keep it down until her back was fully healed.

Alexander retracted his hands hastily, broke the silence in an intention to leave,

" It’s okay now..I should leave.."

" WAIT!!!", Elizabeth stopped him from going. It pained her heart to see that he was torturing himself for her sake. Alexander furrowed his eyes at her, wondering why she needed him any longer. As he stopped in his steps, Elizabeth raised herself from the bed to come and face him. She said, biting her lips together,

" You...you can drink from me...I know, you are in thirst...I am.. willing.. Alex.."

" What have you done to my soul?"

Startled by the voice, Ralph put back the will into his personal drawer. He was paying attention to his personal belongings more than before for unknown reason. Hayden appeared on his study without any knock. His face was full of wrath and anger. He looked like someone who wouldn’t hesitate to murder anytime.

Ralph replied with a growl, narrowing his gaze at Hayden,

" How dare you come to my study without warning? You want to die?"

Hayden sneered at his father, stomping forward angrily,

" If you can mess with my life as you wish..why can’t I break some rules, father?"

Ralph’s jaw clenched in anger. He had tolerated his shit enough but nothing worked to stop his evil things. Ralph stepped closer carefully, his eyes flickering with darkness as he emphasized his words one by one on Hayden’s face,

" Remember my words! Whatever is happening, you brought this to yourself. I have treasured you more than anyone else but apparently, you don’t deserve it at all. You have crossed my patience again and again. I don’t take orders from you nor do I owe you any explanation about what I have done."

Hayden let out a dark laughter. He was still hissing and panting in rage as he blurted through his gritted teeth,

" Yes! You don’t owe any explanation to your own child but care about the child of that whore who trade your seed for a son. Isn’t it, father?"

He was referring to Jasmine who had long gone from their lives. Knowing that it was Ralph’s most sensitive part, Hayden always provoked him by reminding him of Jasmine. As expected, Ralph lost his temper. He held Hayden by his throat. In a blink of an eye, he was pressing Hayden against the pillars and growled in rage,

" Say another word about her! I will forget that you carry my bloodline. I told you to leave her out from our discussion. She deserves nothing but your respect. Bastard!! Why did I raise you??"

Hayden’s lips suddenly stretched into a wicked smile. Without protesting back, he opened his arms wide and a black smoke started circulating in his palms. Hayden said with another dangerous smile, staring deep into his father’s eyes,

" Since you don’t care about my soul..I shouldn’t care for yours as well.. father.."
