BXBX NOVEL Chapter 159 [Bonus chapter] A Wisp
The wall that she had formed around her heart felt a crack when she noticed how raged he was.
He was killing anyone and everyone around him for her! Though it looked like he was a maniac and the care he did was twisted, she still felt warm thinking at least there is a person who cared if she came back home or not.
“My lady! My lady is here, my lord!” as if seeing a good they all bend to their knees in front of her with their eyes full of pleading.
Hazel took a step back, as she did not know how to respond. This was the staff of her palace but they never cared for her and treated her as owner.
If she had not shown arrogance and dominating behavior, she was sure they would have bullied her. But in the end, she had never suffered from them or they were not able to treat her badly.
Most of the time, they just ignore her and if she would not give them any command, they became one with the furniture..
Looking all of them at their knees while pleading with her, she did not know what to make out of it.
Her eyes turned away from them towards the vampire who was on a killing spree because she was not there but when she had come, he had not even greeted her or said a word.
“My lord, I apologize for taking a long walk in the garden and making you worry.” She bowed her head slightly, not knowing what else to do or say as she could not read his expression.
“You have indeed made me worried and I think a punishment is needed for you to remember your mistake and make sure that you would not repeat it.” her heart stirred but with fear when she heard his cold voice that was devoid of emotions.
‘He is too angry!’ she pursued her lips as she could feel that trouble was going to befall on her again.
“I apologize but..” he stood up and stared back at her only but that was enough to silence her completely.
“Sometimes an apology is not enough. You knew that you were sick yet you left the room without taking any of the maid with you. This is not a simple mistake that I could ignore.” taking slow steps towards her like a predator, he stood in front of her and her chin.
“Till the time you are here, your life is not yours to take. It belongs to me and I did not like someone handling my things poorly.“ She wanted to tell him that she was not a thing and that he had treated her poorly when he had left her with witches but when she stared back at his eyes, she felt the words dying in her mouth.
Rafael always had that effect on her when she felt tongue tied because of his touch.
“All of you can leave!” As if amnesty from the king had been received, they all ran towards the exit with the speed of lightning leaving her alone with the punishments he was about to give her.
“What kind of punishment are you talking about?” though her voice was low, it was still calm like her face that brought a wicked grin on his face.
“Something that you will remember for a long time.” that did not help her in feeling better. She was becoming a bundle of nerves by his burning gaze.
“Come with me.” she wanted to shake her head but could not since his gaze had bound her with him.
He started walking and she followed as he took her to the terrace which was empty,
There were nothing but a few seats and small pots of flowers on the boundary. It could not be that he had brought her here to throw her from the roof as a punishment when he was so worried that she had not come back.
She was still mulling over the options when she heard him chuckle behind her.
“I am not going to kill you, nor anytime soon. We have many things to do together and haven’t I offered you your freedom.” she nodded as she knew that he would not kill her. She had that faith in him but then they were not lovers to have an intimate moment there as her punishment like a kiss.
A kiss would not be that bad and she was ready to come late a few more times if he had that in his bag.
Her eyes instinctively went to his lips when her throat ran dry. She licked her lips to wet them as heat started to rise on her face.
“What are you thinking there?” as the words left his mouth she looked away and he raised a brow.
“Well I have brought you here to meet someone and decide on your pinusgmt but if you want a kiss then I do not mind.” That was another level of embarrassment. More than she ever had.
Wouldn’t he think she was a pervert when she was thinking of kissing him when he had already told her that he had another lover!
But that woman is dead! A voice came from her heart but she shook her head to deny.
“No! Kiss is only a symbol of love. We should not cross the boundaries if we do not love each other.
How is meeting someone a punishment?” though he felt a bit of disappointment, he nodded his head and then looked at the dark sky as if there was someone.
“Because it is not a human or a vampire, neither a witch or anything else.
It is a ball of energy that was left by someone to keep an eye on me. To make sure that I would take care of myself and not go astray.” he chuckled as how the thing had tormented her for ages.
“You mean that wisp?”
