Bites & Addiction - Chapter 44：The Evil Deeds

“Why are you doing this, Silas? What will you get from this?” I asked, wiping the tears away from my eyes. I knew from the start that he’s a trickster. His sudden appearance as a lecturer in my class, and also brainwashing me against Roman was utterly intentional. Somehow he’ll get something from this. But what?

“Everything that was always belonged to me—My throne.” He responded walking upto the fireplace.

I got up and frowned, “There’s no need to kill the life that doesn’t even born yet.”

When he turned around there was a nasty smirk plastered on his face that made my heart skip a beat.

“Your unborn child is a threat to my throne.” He said, and I got even more confused.

How my child could be a threat to anyone? He’s mortal and doesn’t even born yet.

“I don’t get what you mean.” I whimpered as I felt the point of knife behind my back.

That bitch is really wants to kill me and my child. That’s not gonna happen as long as I’m alive. I’ll take there time till Roman comes to the rescue.

“How my child is a threat, Silas?”

Folding his arms behind him, he began, “I guess you know that Freya was a queen before she married a mortal.” I nodded and continued, “When she got executed by clan then according to section 322, the throne was given to her mother which was also my grandmother. Since then the ancient bitch has been watching over the clan.”

“What It has any connection with my child?” I quizzed.

“Grandmother’s days of ruling was temporary since she would have to give up her throne when the next pure blood of our family would born.” He continued, “But then Roman born, who wasn’t pure blood. And then ancient bitch happily continued her sovereignty. After a year, I born. The pure blood who simply deserves the throne. That’s it. But then she said that She doesn’t think that I’d take the clan to the path of light.”

He took some threatening strides towards me that made me flinch with fear. “My parents sacrificed themselves for their clan.” He shouted with pure hatred in his voice. “Then how could she say that I’m not worthy for throne.” My heart was thumping so fast against my chest, drops of sweat falling down my forehead as he was barking on my face.

I flinched as he traced his fingers across my bump. “I can’t lose a thing I love the most to a mere child.” A corner of his mouth lift up.

Doesn’t he know that the baby is mortal? Vampire will never accept a mortal child.

“B-But the child is mortal.” I stated, my voice was almost shaky. “It will be no harm.”

“What if your next child is happen to be a pure blood.” He said, taking a few steps back.

I was confused, utterly confused. How can my next child would be pure blood?

“Confused. Aren’t you?” He chuckled wickedly. “Let me explain. There’s a possibility that your children can be half breed or a mortal or a pure blood. It just depends on the trait they will get from their father.”

“But it’s mortal, Silas. There’s no threat for your throne.”

“Shut your fucking mouth.” He growled, “I’m not gonna wait till the time when your next child will be born. I’ve already waited so long for this moment. I tried to brainwash you against Roman but you’re too blind in his love. And then next day your husband abducted me, and brutally detached my wrist from my arm.” He ran his hand through his hap and spit, “Do you have any idea how long it takes to join your body parts together?”

“Absolutely Not.” I shrugged with a smirk on my face. “I’m a mortal you know, and probably gonna die soon.”

Come on, Roman. Where are you? What the hell is taking you so long?

He rubbed his face and sighed, “I’m tired and I prefer to kill you quickly.” I closed my eyes shut as he took some steps to me. “I promise it won’t hurt.” This time I felt his breath across my face. My chest was so heavy, but I wasn’t frightened because I knew he’d come. I knew he would come to save me and our child.

“Behind you!” I heard Adele’s scream. Immediately, I opened my eyes to see Clarence who had Silas pinned against the wall. Silas being stabbed by Clarence across his chest. Despite being wounded he was strong and trying to get free from Clarence’s grip.

And then my eyes caught him just a few steps away from me. “Roman.” I breathe. A beaming smile automatically smeared across my face. I felt relief to see him. Everything would be fine now.

He smiled at me and took a step forward but Adele stopped him as she put the knife on my throat which almost penetrating my skin. I held my breathe at this moment.

“A step closer, I’ll slit her throat.” She warned him pressing the knife further into my skin that made me wince in pain.

“Let her go, Adele. She has nothing to do with whatever happened between us.” Roman tried to persuade her but she didn’t let me go.

“I love you, Roman. I did everything for you. Then why did you marry her, not me.” Adele said, “It’s not too late Roman, come back to me. I can give you what she will never be able to give.”

Roman took slow steps towards us as he tried to reassure her, “I will come back. Just let her go, Okay. I’ll do whatever you want. Please let her go.”

I was about to take a step forward but then Adele grabbed me. “Liar!” She yelled and again pressed the knife on my throat.

The next thing I remember was Roman running towards me, and my dress soaked with my own blood. After that everything around me got dark.
