Loved By a Vampire King

RECOMMENDED SONG:

      Rescue By Lauren Daigle ~?

Isabella didn't notice how vulnerable perhaps she looked untill Silas offered his little comfort. Her eyes had big dark circles around them. Her body was quivering like a leaf in winter, ready to fall down anytime. Though most of her body part was healed due to Silas's blood, her mental condition was terrible. She couldn't be blamed entirely this time. A life without family meant nothing to a woman naturally.

Deep inside, Silas knew that he might be behaving too close to Isabella unnecessarily but there was nothing he could do about that. Something was pulling him towards her even though he knew that it wasn't right time to approach her. Her pale face and consistent trembling had made it more impossible for him to move away from her side.

Isabella shot him an awkward glance, wondered about his true intentions but she couldn't just spit it out on his face. After all, he was the respectable crowned Duke Of Richalwolf Land. Isabella didn't take the offer that he made to her. She only gave a small smile before stammering on her words,

" I.. just need some time with myself, Duke Silas. Thanks for your concern."

She maintained her formal gesture. When she didn't pay attention on his expression, a look of hurt flashed across his green eyes.

Damn it! Everything was getting out of control too fast!

Silas endured her cold attitude silently. After swallowing down his discomfort, he reasoned with a polite smile, understanding that she would always put a barrier around her no matter how desperate he was,

" Please don't mind my words. I have mind healing power. I just thought that it would be better for your mental health."

Silas's words sounded so casual and sincere that Isabella believed them at once. She cursed herself in her mind. She was being way too suspicious over Silas who came to offer her comfort.

" Really?", came the appreciative voice from Isabella who seemed amused by the news. It was truly a blessing gift if Silas had really power of healing mind. Healing scars were common among creatures like them but healing mind wasn't something common that she heard too often.

Silas gave her an assuring smile and extended his both hands to let her touch him,

" Try it once. I believe that you will feel better only if you want."

Isabella hesitated momentarily but reconsidering the fact that how much she needed mental peace, Isabella convinced herself to try it once. Silas waited patiently for her to think properly. A deep sigh passed through her drained lips.

After fisting her palms for a while, Isabella lifted her hands up to place on Silas's hands nervously. Their skin connected naturally, soft kitten like touch had been shared in that exact moment but Isabella fell her heart skipping a bit. His skin wasn't warm like her but his touch really did magic on her. When Silas clutched her palms initiatively, her anxiety made it more possible.

Her body relaxed under his touch. Her suffocated thoughts began to calm down as if her fired body had been thrown into cold ocean. Her perspiration returned to its normal state and a sudden peaceful feeling occupied her mind. Then he heard her soft soothing voice,

" Relax! Take a deep breath! Everything is fine with your life, Isabella."

During her state of shock and puzzlement, Isabella failed to notice that how Silas had addressed her by her name only. But the feeling was really better than she expected as if their soul had been connected and he had taken away all the pains from her mind.

Isabella pulled her eyes up to stare into his green eyes blankly. She replied from her utter shock,

" I..I feel much.. better..now.."

Her words brought a satisfied smile on his face. His voice came out jokingly,

" I guess, you believe now that I have some merit."

Isabella couldn't smile back because of this odd feelings. Moments afterwards, realization hit her brain when she pointed how she was holding his palms. As if she had committed any great sin, Isabella shoved her hands away from him embarrassingly.

But it didn't take the smile away from Silas's face who noticed how her mind became relax after his touches. He knew that things would be working this way.

Isabella's voice came out as polite as possible,

" Your hands really do magic. I am feeling light headed now. How did you do it?"

Isabella questioned from her curiosity to see him looking more intensely into her eyes. Her body cringed a little under his intense glare. Silas didn't hurried with his answer. Looking down at her palms that weren't shaking anymore, he replied in a deep voice,

" Something that can bind you to me."

Isabella brows tightened at his answer as she scowled almost instantly,

" What do you mean?"

Silas noticed the tight frown between her temples. Giving her another wide smile, he responded slowly,

" Oh Princess! You seem to take my words very seriously. I was only healing you. Calm down!"

Right at that moment after he was done speaking, a window of Isabella's room had suddenly brust open in random air. Her dark room lit up suddenly with the light of blood moon that was hanging in the sky outside. The light slipped past through the window and fell on Silas's back straight.

Silas's face sank immediately. His muscles tensed ready to burst out into something else but he kept holding his breath for the sake of Isabella's presence. Letting out a long sigh, Silas suddenly stood up from the bed and excused himself abruptly,

" Pardon..me.. Princess..I..I have to go back now.."

Isabella couldn't even speak anything as she saw him walking out of her room after unlocking the door. Her lips were slightly agaped in shock. Wait! How did he enter into her room then?

Isabella wondered inside her mind as her eyes travelled towards the blood moon outside....
