Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

475 Nothing Like Before

“It is fine! I just could not get as good at it as Anne. So I avoid using this spell. Are you okay?” she asked him as she took out one arrow from her shoulders with force.

They were standing in the back garden of his palace after the portal ended. The place looked dark and desolate at night but the flickering light of the moon in the clouds was enough to see the wounds of each other.

The blood gushed out but she covered the wound with her hands and it soon started to heal.

He had many wounds too but he nodded his head though his face was still pale.

“They were sure that we were going to come! They were waiting for us.” his eyes turned darker but he nodded his head and closed his eyes.

“Yes, when I was told that they were giving information by the elders, I should have looked for more before offering it to you. I was too reckless. But most of the time, they have correct and secured information. I did not know what went wrong today!” he shook his head when her eyes narrowed.

Those elders! But she did not say a word.

“It is fine. Keep looking for it. I will come back later. But if you get any news first, Contact me.” he nodded his head readily when she left from there.

She stared at him for a second before disappearing from there too.

.....

Lucio kept staring at the distance for long before walking back to his office.

Hazel landed in her bedroom this time. She laid on it without moving for minutes as she summed up everything that happened in her mind. Soon, a frown formed on her face.

She sat up and walked to the office of Raphael to see if he was there when she noticed Diana standing there with a smile on her face.

She was holding the coat of Rafael in her hands and sniffing it with an aroused look on her face. She was looking as if she was high with drugs.

“What are you doing here?” asked Hazel with her eyes squinted on her hands that were still holding the coat.

Diana flinched when she saw Hazel there. She had checked her room before coming to her and it was empty. How was she?

Her eyes squinted too. Bloody witch!

“Nothing. The coat had fallen on the floor and I was just picking it up. Why? Is there some problem?” she asked with an arrogant look on her face when hazel scoffed.

“And what are you doing here so late? Do not tell me that you are here to discuss work.” she folded her hands in front of her chest as she asked Diana in an investigative tone when she nodded her head leisurely.

“Yes, what else? I am here to discuss work. I am helping him with a lot of things he did not want to share with anyone.” that anyone was the keyword telling she was special when Hazel’s eyes turned darker.

“Do not tell me that you are being jealous over something like this. You should have trust in your husband.” the voice came out with a mocking smile that hazel frowned again.

Of course, she trusts Rafael. They had been together for two lifetimes but.. These days, he behaved so differently that she was not sure about anything.

“It is fine. I know what the matter is now and I will help him. You do not need to worry about my husband.” she did not leave any chance for Diana to refute but she was so wrong.

Diana gave her a mocking smile as if she was having pity on her poor condition.

“Let Rafael take this decision, my dear hazel. It is his choice, right?” and before Hazel could refuse, Diana stared at the door with a smirk on her face.

Hazel paused. Vampires had keen senses.. He turned to look at the door too and soon Rafael entered.

“Sorry, I was busy with Michael. Were you waiting for long.” he paused when his eyes fell on Hazel and then Diana with a stunned face but he soon brought his signature smile on his face, “did you have rest my dear wife.” he walked closer and hugged hazel but she did not feel at ease.

She was sure that the question was not for her but for Diana. Had he asked her to wait for him here.

She tilted her head to see the smirk on the face of Diana and that look that tells, “you are pathetic!”

Rafael let her go.

“Haven’t you tried? You should go and rest. I still have some work left and then this matter too. I am drowned in work these days.” Excuse! She knew that Rafael never worked on files himself.

He had many to work under him.

She tried to force a smile on her face as she nodded.

“It is fine. I am resting for a long time. Since you have so much work, let me help you with that.” she offered as she walked toward the table but he held her hands and then shook his head.

“Oh no! I am sure as a majesty you already have a lot on your plate. How could I force more on you? You should go and take a rest. I have Diana.. She had been my assistant since the start. She will do all the filing work while I will just instruct her.” He pulled her and kissed her forehead.

“You should not worry too much about me and take care of yourself.” his voice was soft just like she remembered his touch. Assuring and full of love. Then what changed?

Why did she not feel the same when he looked at him?

She kept staring at him for long, but in the end, nodded her head and walked out of the room but Diana did not forget to pass a sarcastic smile to her before that
