Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

"Are you asking me to join the war?" He observed her face closely. She looked more curious than any other emotions.

"How can I reply to a question that could jeopardize my safety to the lord of the vampires." a small chuckled again as he replied but his eyes were filled with suspicions that amused her.

"So, you came here telling who you are but now you want to play hide and seek. So that I could prove to you that I am not on his side and for that you ask me to do a task for you.

A task to develop your trust in me?" her eyes crinkled with an amused laugh that was so bewitching that he was not able to look away.

He should have been embarrassed for his thoughts to speak out loud but all he looked was impressed.

He nodded with affirmation. The woman was not a headless chicken with a lot of power but a strong contender with her own mind and sharp tongue that worked no less than a razor.

"Oh my, did you not know that in politics, even if you know the traps of the enemy, you could not rub it on their mouth!" He waved to the waiter again and placed his empty glass on the tray and picked up another with a smile on his face as if he was having a humorous conversation with her.

"So are we enemies now?" she raised a brow and then chuckled as if a joke but her eyes turned colder.

He could feel the change in temperature around him when her eyes turned colder but hid it.

"You are standing with vampires and we both knew that vampires and witches were at war since the dark witch was born.

But before that too, they never liked each other. You have to choose sides Hazel.

You are a witch living with a vampire and working for the benefit of humans. It gives us the feeling that you have abandoned us." his eyes sank and then turned to look at Rafael who was already walking towards them.

"If you ever need my help then throw this stone on the ground. The moment it would break, it would alert all the witches that their queens needed them. We will be ready to give our lives for you.'' He held her hands and kissed them, bringing them closer to his mouth while passing a small ring into her hands discreetly.

"What are you talking about in such an inaudible voice that even i can not hear it." Rafael wrapped his arms around her waist while standing behind her.

He pulled her back a little possessively when her back touched his chest and he kissed her bare shoulders in that deep cut dress and then stared at the man with a look of possession in his eyes as if marking his territory like a best.

But instead of backing away, the witch chuckled and rubbed her hands with a thumb, showing that he did not own her. She did not belong to anyone.

Rafael's face turned dark instantly, he took the position of attack and bared his fangs for the witch to know he was taking a wrong move but the witch only sneered and stood there tall to show that he was not afraid of Rafael.

Bella gulped. She could feel the eyes of every person on them. If the fight ensues, it would only take a few seconds for others to know that he was a witcher.

She turned, so that now she was facing Rafael. "Mr Lombardi was telling me only about the slums and riots.

He is worried that after losing a human ruler, their conditions are dire.

There is no need to act rashly. That would only prove that he is right about the vampires." she rubbed the back of Rafael who finally tore his gaze away from the man and looked into her eyes.

He looked like a large beast that was tamed by her. His provocative actions soon changed into a puppy look that was abandoned for a second and was taken again.

"He is leaving anyway, right?" she stared back at the man who was looking at them intensely. He nodded his head and bowed a bit before taking a step.

He had noticed how Rafael had singalled his members to stop him later but he had come planned.

He nodded after taking a few steps away and a few men from every corner of the room stood up discreetly.

"Mr Lombardi, I think we should talk for a minute." said a vampire coming closer to him as he nodded his head.

"Of course, shall we go to the balcony?" The man looked back at Rafael for further orders but Rafael was not looking at him, he was busy with Hazel.

Gnashing his teeth, he nodded. They were instructed to hold on the man until the lord came, it would be better if they do it discreetly on the balcony.

As they started walking closely another vampire joined them.

Luhan laughed. He did not even know who this Lombardi was but he was thankful to Hazel to keep their lord busy.

He smiled as he looked back at her one last time, before walking to the balcony but just as they entered the strong mist covered the whole balcony and the two vampire guards were not able to see anything when they felt their head turning heavier and they soon fell on the ground with a thud and lost their consciousness.

"That was a risky thing to talk to her directly in front of so many people, Luhan, what if the man had caught you in front of everyone." a woman chided him without being stern and then looked back at the party.

"Did she agree to help us or we wasted our time on her?" her eyes stared at Hazel with mixed emotions, she hated Hazel yet she needed her.

"She would think about it. But I am sure that she will soon be with us."
