Chapter 30: Will Remain Faithful
"Ahhhhh!"
Rosela screamed as she threw everything she could lay her hands on inside her cabin.
Eventually, however, her strength left her, leaving her weakly slumping on the floor as she subconsciously palmed the place on her neck where Nikolai bit her. A few more seconds passed, and she slowly buried her face in her palms as she began to sob.
She was surprised when Marlo picked her up, informing her of how Nikolai needed her to feed. It was far from a full moon yet. And although surprised, she immediately went to Nikolai's quarter knowing that he needed her.
It lifted up her spirits every time he fed on her, and seeing how that human snatcher witnessed it happen was only icing on the cake.
She inwardly rejoiced at the terror she saw on Mineah's face. After all, the bjtch finding out her importance to their King that way should've been a slap on their so-called Queen's face.
To think that the human had the nerve to lecture her about her contributions to the Kingdom? If she only knew how great her importance was due to being the only one capable of satiating their Vampire King's rare thirst for human blood.
Yes, she might be a Scion since she harbored an Exordium's blood inside her heart from their former King Arturo, but her human blood still remained flowing in her veins as well... The only blood that their King longed for all these years...
"Why?" Rosela sobbed as the scene where Nikolai vomited out her blood kept on playing before her eyes. "Why did it happen?"
It was an unnerving anomaly for her. In fact, she was so caught off-guard by it that she let Marlon and Luis dragged her out of Nikolai's quarters without even so much as a word.
Gritting her teeth, Rosela balled up her hands so hard that blood started dripping from her palms.
"This... can't be!" she wailed.
It was impossible. Nikolai should be hers to begin with, and she refused to let her efforts and sacrifices be put to waste that easily!
Her resolve renewed, Rosela stood up and quickly vanished into the dark night. In her mind's eye, she targeted a small pirate ship not far from their own ready to hunt their next target.
Before long, Rosela landed the ship, her eyes already red and her fangs elongated. She needed to let off some steam, and these idiots were the perfect target for her ire.
"Vampire!"
"Will you be generous enough to clean up after me?" Rosela casually asked. "Take the Curbs. Kill the Rampants together with this measly ship..."
"It's been a while since you've acted like this, Rosela," the man commented with a frown.
Rosela turned to him with her most seductive smile and said, "Come here..."
The man followed, and right then, Rosela pulled him in and hungrily kissed his lips.
For a while, the two of them stayed connected under the moonlight. Eventually, however, the man broke the kiss and gently pushed Rosela away.
"We can't keep going like this, Rosela!" he complained.
Rosela could clearly see the pain in his eyes. Still, she only smiled as she let the strap of her gown slip down, letting her bare naked self be displayed in front of him.
"No other man has had the privilege to touch and own my body except for you," she cooed as she moved to gently caress his face. "Isn't this enough for you not to complain? You're the only man I've ever had."
"But your heart still remains with him," he sighed. "Why can't you just let him be? He's never been yours, to begin with, Rosela. Just forget about him and be with me."
Rosela's face immediately dimmed. "He's mine!"
He should be. She deserved it. She had already succeeded in making her own twin sister vanish. Nothing could stop her now, especially since the current thorn in her side was nothing more than a mere human not even connected with him.
"Leave if you're just here to condemn my actions," she scoffed. "I have enough Curbs to choose from to fulfill my needs and accompany me anyway..."
Despite her supposed lack of need for the man, Rosela's expression lit up the moment she felt his warm embrace wrap her from behind.
"You have my heart, Rosela, and I already vowed that I will never leave your side no matter what happens," the man sincerely stated. "I will remain faithful..."
Turning around to face him, she hummed, "Make me forget about everything that happened tonight then. You're the only one who could do that, Abel."
*******
AN: I wonder if anyone remembers Abel in the previous chapter.
