Slave To The Darkness - Chapter 280

Yuki watched as Vera nodded her head instead of talking. She took the oxygen mask off and helps her sit up by adjusting the bed. “I will lay it back down once we are done.” Finally, she pulls a knife slicing the palm of her hand she starts to drip the blood onto Vera’s lips. “Drink this. It may not taste all that good, but it will help you.”

Vera opened her mouth and swallowed the drops that fell into her mouth. She shivers for the taste the feels her body being set back down. “Thank you.” ​​

“I will have to give you a little more later, but we do not want the hospital to suspect that you acquired something like vampire’s blood. That is what I have gifted you, sweet Vera. My blood will heal you, but you will not turn.” Yuki readjusts the bed and attaches the oxygen mask back up to her face. “Be safe, and I will see you again.” Yuki kisses her forehead and appears next to Nolen.

“Vera, I will come and see you again. Be safe and get healthy. See you in a few days.” Watching Vera, Nolen wipes the tears from his eyes.

“Goodbye, Big Brother. I will await your next… Zzz” Vera falls asleep as she was talking.

“She’ll survive. If it had been a month later, I am not sure that even my blood would help. She is a sweet little girl. I could tell that she loves you.” Yuki walks with Nolen back downstairs; she waves at the nurse and guides him back outside. “The hospital will think that this is a miracle, but you and I both know what happened.”

They reached outside, and Nolen hugs Yuki then helps her into the car. “Thank you, Cedric. If it was not for you two, my sister would not be able to survive. So from the bottom of my heart, I thank you.” He bows his head.

Cedric had pulled Yuki into his lap. He took the hand that had some blood on it and licked the blood off. Once that was done, he kissed her knuckles. “It is not a big deal for me. Yuki wanted to save her, and so I let her. Now that you belong to us, there is no reason that we shouldn’t help you. I am still trying to decide just what your job title will be.”

Yuki kisses Cedric’s neck but doesn’t bite the skin. “What about a companion? Or you can say that he is training to be a new butler. Not that you will be replacing Royce anytime soon, but it will make a good cover. Don’t you think??”

Cedric looked down at Yuki and kisses her on the lips, making her melt into his arms, then he lets her go. “In person, he will be your companion, but to everyone else… he will be in training to become our new butler. I like that idea. Not even my aunt will suspect anything. Nolen, just so you know, things will be a little bloody at the house. There are some loose ends that I need to cut off.”

“Bloody? I think I can handle that. Will you need my help with any of that?” Nolen looks at the couple. “I will never overstep my boundaries with you two.”

“I have plans that will involve you, Nao, and me. Nao is my first turned vampire. I do not have all my memories of my past, but for all I know, I will have a lot to learn and not a lot of time to learn everything. I have turned others, and from what I have seen in the memories, not a single turned vampire failed.” Yuki smiles and lays down, placing her head on Cedric’s lap.

“That is insane. I thought that the turn rate was meagre?” Nolen thinks back to what he remembers overhearing. “Not that I am an expert, I just overheard a client talking about it, so I stored that in my mind as random knowledge.”

“Under normal circ_u_mstances, that is a true statement, but when you are dealing with a royal, that is where things change. A royal vampire’s blood is insanely pure and deadly. That is why Yuki could heal your sister that was on the brink of death.” Cedric looks at Yuki.

“It is true; that is why I said what I did when we left the hospital. I cannot bring the dead back to life. The most that I can do is help the other person by ending their suffering. Vera is so adorable. She was extremely frail. When she saw me, she asked if I was an angel. I am more of a devil than an angel, but I guess with the blonde hair, I look like an angel. She was just so cute!” Yuki kept her eyes closed and just spoke to the guys.

“You mean that my sister wouldn’t have lasted much longer? That is terrible. Now I am even more grateful.” Nolen smiled happily.

Cedric nods his head at Nolen as the limousine stops in front of the house. Cedric scoops Yuki up and takes her out of the limousine. He turns and looks at Nolen. “Welcome to your new home.”

Nolen looks at the house and stutters. “This is not a house; this is a freaking mini castle!!” Nolen was carrying the bag and was now gaping at the house.

“Eh, this is not really a castle. You should see Yuki’s real home… now that is a real castle.” Cedric walked up to the house where Royce was holding the door open for them. “Park the car and take the rest of the evening off, Royce. I will not need anything else this evening.”

“As you wish, Master Cedric. I will be here at five in the morning sharp as you have to go to a meeting with the book editor.” Royce bows then drives the limousine to park it in its spot. Then he goes to his house on the property.

Cedric puts Yuki down just in time for Nao to come and tackle her to the ground. “You are finally home. I was lonely while you were not here. Adam was searching the whole place, trying to “get the lay of the land”, or so he says.”

“Nao, sorry Cedric took me out for a meal. It was an ideal date, and I acquired a new human. Nao, the gentleman by the door, is Nolen, Nolen, this is Naomi or Nao.” Yuki introduces the two.

Nao looks at the human and listens to his heart beating. “You have tried some of his blood, and you need to feed again. You gave your blood away and used your powers a little. Not that you would get drained, but it is better to be safe than sorry.” Nao offers her neck to Yuki.

Yuki licks the nape of her neck and slowly bites into her neck, drinking the blood feeling Naomi’s confusion and undying love. Letting go, Yuki licks the wound then appears behind Nolen. She places her mouth at his neck and breathes in not fear but resolve before piercing the skin. She drinks and fights to pull away.

Cedric helps by pulling her away and places his arm by her mouth. Once he feels her fangs sink in, he heals the wounds on Nolen’s neck and washes the blood away. “How are you feeling?”

Nolen leans against the wall breathing deeply. “A little woozy, but I will recover. Are you okay?” Nolen opens his eyes and watches Yuki’s eyes stop shining a deep red colour.

“Me? I’m fine. If she tries to drain you, then you will need to stop her. She is not used to drinking human blood anymore. My blood is a poison to most supernaturals.” Cedric feels Yuki go slack in his arms and allows Nao to catch her. “Take her to the bedroom. I need to get Nolen settled in.” Leading the way, he walks away from Yuki and Nao.

Nolen follow’s Cedric but looks back at the girls and watches Nao lift Yuki up with ease. “I was worried since you left Naomi alone with Yuki, but she is a lot stronger than I thought.”

“Vampires are like that. I will get you some books to read up on, but do not let her feed from you without another supernatural there. We can stop her, but you will not be able to. I am glad that your sister is going to recover.” Cedric walked past the Sakura room and opens the door on the right of that room. “This is your new room. The room to the left is the sakura room, and that is a dedicated room to Yuki. The room next to that is Naomi’s room.”

Nolen walks into the room and looks at all the space. “Holy shit! This is the biggest room I have ever had. Are you sure that this is okay to give to me?” He walks over to the bed and pushes on the mattress.
