Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

507 Accept Truth

Damien frowned as he looked at the seller with cold eyes. He was sure that the woman was a witch too with her silver eyes even when she hid her hair in her cloak.

“I do not want anything that comes from a witch.” he snarled when the witch smiled. It did not look like she minded his words.

“Too bad! You already have a curse working on you and my stones could have protected you.” she shook her head as she turned to look at hazel and started showing her more of her spirit stones who signed too.

She bought four amulets before leaving for another shop followed by Damien.

“It looks like you are enjoying ordering me.” he muttered as she smirked and then nodded her head truthfully.

“Of course, every woman likes to do shopping and I am not different but why are you thinking that you are my staff? We are family. Did you forget how you used to teach me how to use guns and throw daggers?” She even felt that he liked her at that time. What a naive person she was.

“I did not know your intentions back then. I thought you were a naive human who needed protection. But who would have known…” he paused when she turned to look into his eyes with a cold look on her face.

“That I am a witch! Do you think I knew about it and hid it intentionally from all of you?” she shook her head at once. “If I would have known, I would have protected myself from the torments of my family and from Scarlet. But my memories were sealed. They are still sealed and I do not know much about my past.” she confessed as she was trying hard to be acknowledged by him.

She knew how much Rafael was hurt by the death of scarlet. It hurt him more that Diana is the killer. So, if by any way, she could save Damien, she would do so.

.....

“Can you not stop being a jerk and look around carefully. You are not a child or a fool! But if you still have doubts, you can go to prison and ask others too. Meet the witnesses but do not pass the judgment that we are at fault just because you do not want to blame your family.” her voice was cold as she berated him for his foolishness when his eyes narrowed at her.

“Oh! So you want to say that witches are not at fault?” she shook her head as she sighed and rubbed it.

“No, I am telling you that those witches who tried to kill others and wage a war are arrested, just like those humans and vampires. This is not the mistake of a whole race but a few greedy people who do not care about the lives of others in front of power and wealth.

So, stop cursing witches as if they were the only one at fault.”

“.........” he paused as he noticed the fierceness in her eyes. For a second he felt that her eyes flickered to red and she licked her lips just like vampires do when they were thirsty and forgot to care what she was saying.

“Are you thirsty?” he asked instinctively when she blinked.

“That was a lame way to change the topic.” she scoffed as she started walking again when his brows furrowed.

Yes! What was he even asking? She was not a vampire. She could not feel the hunger of blood. It must be an illusion since there was so much in his mind.

“We are done with shopping. Let’s sit somewhere and eat.” She looked around and then found an inn in the corner as she started walking in that direction.

Damien looked around when he noticed that the counting of humans was decreasing with no vampire around. The place she had chosen was full of witches only.

Could it be a trap? She must be going to meet the witches under the pretense of eating. His eyes turned colder at the thought as he followed her closely.

The place was dimly lit as he walked in. There were only a few guests and most of them were either human or witches.

Hazel walked toward the table and sat down as she gave the order to the waitress.

“Are you worried that it is a trap and I have been brought here to kill you or worse bewitch you so that you listen to me and behave like Diana. So that I can send you to prison later?’ she asked without beating around the bush when she felt his gaze turning darker.

“I know what Vanisa had told you. But no! I am not spying on you. It is just you are very open and anyone can read you.”

“........” he kept staring at her without replying to anything. As long as he will not accept, she could not prove anything.

“I want to tell you there is only one forbidden spell of bewitching which was used to bewitch men to marry them.

But even that had not been used for a long time. Whatever Diana did, it was her own choice. She thought that Scarlet was the one who was forcing her to give up on Rafael and she could not bear it so she killed her mother.

She had thought that beryllium would not work on her mother since it did not work on anyone else. Her intention might not be to kill Scarlet but who would have known that Scarlet had not taken the medicine in which my healing powers were infused.” she sighed as if she was not happy about it too.

“I know how it feels to lose your family since Rafael had killed my mother too but at least I am accepting that she deserved it.

If you want to keep on fighting, I will not stop you but Rafael would be hurt since he takes you as your brother. But whatever decision you will take, we will accept it and respect it.”
