The Kidnapped Bride

.......

"Stay away from her!"

A loud and sharp voice made both of them alert. Averting their gaze, they saw Prince Cyrus walking towards them with a foul mood that had plastered on his face.

He was provoked by something, which made Alice confused.

But on the other hand, she was thankful that he had come here. If not of him, who knew what this Princ Alex was planning so and had to talk with her.

One thing that Alice had started to realize was the fact that despite her hatred for the monster husband of hers, she can never deny that his presence was still better than the rest of the royals in his family.

While he gave her the sense of danger as well as safety, the same can\'t be said for anyone else where she would be all new.

"Cyrus.... you came back..." A sigh escaped her lips when a giant smile started to curve on her lips. "I thought you had some work.."

"I had. But I came to check on you. However, I wasn\'t expecting you to be present here, Prince Alex." His gaze traveled towards his half-brother who was already annoyed by the Crowned prince\'s appearance out of the blue.

Cyrus\'s eyes never missed watching the color of the change in Alex\'s eye and the smugness that was lingering on his face like any killer.

The lust for blood can be smelled so was in this case where he could easily understand that Alex was planning something else, which was stopped by his arrival.

Whereas, Alex\'s jaw tightened where he had to keep his fist behind his body, "Neither was I expecting you to come so early. Weren\'t you with the father?"

"He said that will have the food back in his cart only, he is relaxing there." Cyrus answered but his eyebrows lifted, "What about you? You are here too...?"

"To interact with Princess Alice..." Alex responded before he looked again at the lady who was also staring at his face.

He gave her the previous dazzling smile which had the strength to steal anyone\'s heart, except hers. "She is really beautiful."

On the compliment, Alice smiled a bit but it wasn\'t an easy one. She was feeling her own blood vessels ready to explode by his disgusting comment. How hard was it to declare that his eyes have searched all over her body?

At the same moment, Cyrus didn\'t answer for the next few minutes. He kept his hands tugged in a fist where his shoulders had puffed high.

Lifting his chin, he only looked at his brother who was no less than any flirter monster. A vampire like him, who has high lusting power and was not hidden by anyone else.

"Sister in law," he spoke, gaining both of their attention. "What do you? mean?" Alex asked with an evident frown.

"She is your sister-in-law now. Stop addressing her as Princess Alice but sister-in-law, or maybe Her Highness to be. You have two options!"

"You!!"

Prince Alex only realized how much of the resistance power he had to utilize to not hear his fury take over his head.

But his words made Alice\'s heart skip a beat. She was startled as she had to take the support of the cart behind her. Biting her lower lip, Alice had to manage her own sentiments which came as a flow.

\'Sister in law?\' It was all new since she never expected that a day would come that she would be addressed in such a way by a vampire..

However, now that she is already in that position, Alice can\'t deny it as well. Looking back at her husband and then at her brother-in-law, she noted that both of them shared thick and intense eye contact.

Uneasiness was building up around them with their deadly aura ready to take over their mind. To interrupt the same, Alice coughed a bit, "Um… it was nice to talk to you, Prince Alex."

"Same here… sister in law…" Alex didn\'t tear his eyes from that of his brother who was still giving him the Snooky vibes.

His heart was crumbling while his inner demon urged him to punch his brother at this point. However, he had to hold his hands behind his body before he heard Prince Cyrus speaking again, "Food is ready for you. Go and have it. Afterward, go to sleep. You won\'t find any girl in the thick forest."

"And better if you don\'t even try to find one here. Try stepping out, but don\'t call me for help if any animal attacks you." Hearing this, Prince Alex\'s expressions are much uglier.

His narrowed eyes of his were the evidence of his gloomy mood as, without even uttering a single word, he left both of them alone. Seeing him departing from their face, made Alice finally catch her heart.

Subconsciously, her hands traveled toward her own chest when she rolled her eyes as the relief washed over her head. "Your brother is weird…"

"Indeed." Cyrus didn\'t deny either.

However, instead of maintaining the same distance, Cyrus walked closer to her, alarming Alice once again. She looked at his towering figure as her eyes never true from his face, "W-what are you trying to do?" For the next few minutes, he didn\'t respond. Instead of uttering anything, he simply took her hand into his before he looked here and there at her palm.

His actions were confusing but Alice had kept her breath at strike. His warm touching made her sense the firecrackers in her mind.? But he didn\'t stop there either. Prince Cyrus\'s thick and eye-catching sight saw the rough mark around her arms and the small cut that had a bit of blood around the clot. \'So this is the source…\' he thought.

Yet his actions didn\'t make any sense to her. "D-do you need something from me?"

"No." Came a distant and instant answer, making her surprised, "Oh, but then my hands…?"

She moved herself to follow his sight and came across that he was looking at the small cuts that had appeared on her skin, "Oh, these… I was trying to get down from the cart, so they must have come by then.."

Without replying to her, Cyrus took another step closer to her. With her arm into his hands, he slowly caressed the wound with the deep and next level concentration. His stare was giving her goosebumps. It was getting difficult for Alice to handle the amount of pressure. But on the second note, his grip was so tight on her wrist which enabled her to move even for a second.

The manner in which he caressed her wound, made a slight growl escape her lips. Covering her mouth with the other hand, she stopped herself from looking at its way.

Closing her eyes, she bit her inner lip to not let the tears roll down.

In contrast, after a few seconds of sensation, Alice felt nothing in her way. Rather, she could sense that all the pain had vanished into the thick air.

Subconsciously, Alice slowly opened her eyes to look at the wound from where he had pulled his hand away. As her eyes fell on the specific area again, all Alice saw was the smooth skin.

There was no trace of blood or any other cut. The bit of dust that had also been added had disappeared, making a surprising growl escape from her mouth.

Disbelief was written on her face as she lifted her head to look at him, "T-this… what happened.. what did you do?"

"There was blood on your skin, it was needed to be removed." Cyrus honestly told her where he managed to come back to his real self. "You are living with Vampires from now on.. don\'t forget."

"But how come you knew about this?" Despite having the idea that their smelling power is really good, she wasn\'t expecting it to notice such a? small scratch as well.

Why even mind such a small scratch and a cut?

To her question, Cyrus\'s lips curved upwards at her stupidity. He recalled how his servant had come and informed him about her extra fragrance.

In fact, how Prince Alex was making her feel the discomfort.

After learning that his brother had shown up in front of her, it alarmed him. There was nothing holding him back at that point where he left his father and came straight to her.

However, after coming near her, he noted how lustful his brother was. He was actually having the thought of biting her!?!

It made him frustrated, but he managed to not let his demon take over his head in front of her.

"Princess, vampires love blood. We drink blood. Don\'t you understand that we can smell everything… even if it is a small scratch?"

Hearing this, Alice could understand what he meant. Her wound was still very much open and if others had gotten to smell this, she would have been a slice of dead meat!

But then, something struck her mind where she looked back at the Vampire\'s husband to blink her eyes a few times to ask, "But... were you seriously here to check on me… or something else? Hmm?"
