Betrayed By The Vampire Prince

Do you feel the same way I do?

He was sitting at the front door when I arrived. “Lala?”

He looked surprised to see me. His eyes took in my dishevelled state.

In a bid to come over to warn him of my father's plans, I forgot to dress well. But I didn't dwell on that. I have something more important than dressing well —for him to be safe.

“Lux, I'm glad to see you are okay.” I knelt in front of him and placed my hands on his thighs. “Did you follow me to the pack?” I peered up into those green orbs that always fascinate me.

“Uh…” His Adam's apple bobbled up and down, to show how nervous he was. “Well, I followed you last night, to know where you live so—”

“Why did you do that?!” I yell at him. “Do you know you would have put yourself in danger by that action!” I felt like tugging on my hair.

How can this vampire be so dense? Is he crazy or what? I'm trying to keep him safe, away from harm, but it seems he's more concerned with knowing where I came from.

I'm aware that his desire to know things because he lost his memories, is normal. However, most of the time, I sense that he's prying too much.

“Are you worried about me?” He stared into my eyes. His green eyes dimmed a bit, making it seem more blue than green. For a moment, it seems like I was staring into a werewolf's eyes.

“Of course! I'm worried about you, Lux. Tell me, isn't it normal for me to be worried? I need to keep you safe away from—”

“Why?”

“Why? Why what?” I furrowed my brows at him.

“Why do you wish to keep me safe? Didn't you say we came from different places? Why are you worried about me?” He murmured.

His warm breath fanned my face, sending delicious shivers down my spine. I gulped. Being this close to him is making it difficult for me to think.

I caught myself staring hard at his lips as I wondered how it will feel. Will it be as soft as Hilda said Emma's lips are? I wondered, staring hard at his lips.

His pink lips seemed to beckon me closer. I slowly started to close the distance between us.

“Lala?”

His call broke me from the trance. I blinked.

“Why do you care?” He placed his palm on my cheeks.

I shivered, not from the feeling wreaking havoc in me, but because of how cold his hand was.

A week with him made me know how different his temperature is compared to ours. When he feeds —on animals' blood, mind you — his body gets warm. However, after a little while, it returns to its freezing-cold nature.

“Why are you concerned about me, Lala?” He gently asked as he placed his left palm on my right cheek, cupping my face with them as he made me look straight into his eyes.

Lux has once told me of his ability to control people by staring into their eyes. Though he has tried that with me countless times, he hasn't been able to control me. Had he not controlled a deer, I wouldn't have believed his words.

“Why do you care so much about me?”

“Because I want to.” A sigh escaped my lips, “you are the only person I have ever cared for, Lux. Though I don't know you or where you came from, I have this strong desire to protect you.”

Mother once said this about my father, but I didn't understand what she meant until I met Lux.

“What's this feeling I have whenever I stare into your eyes, Lala? I have this strong urge to take you into my arms and protect you. I have never felt this way, and that scares me.”

My breath hitched in my throat at his words. Could it be that he feels the way I feel? I lick my lips once more without breaking contact with him.

I don't know what this is, and neither do I wish to know. Just for a moment, I need to be with him. I don't want any other person but the bloodsucker I saved from death. He's the only one I want. And it turned out he wants me too.

“Do you also feel this way, Lala?” He brought his face closer. My breath hitched, and my palms got sweaty. I unconsciously licked my bottom lips, with my eyes still locked on his.

It was as if time stopped and the only thing I can hear was the rush of my blood. The only sight in front of me is his eyes. The Green orbs seemed to be brighter than normal.

“Do you feel the urge to have me envelop you in my arms?” He breathed on my face. His mouth was so near that all it will take was for me to rise a bit, and kiss him. But I didn't do that.

I will allow him to take the lead if he'd like to. He rubbed his thumbs on both sides of my cheeks before he closed the distance between us, and kissed me.

My heart soared out of my chest, and right into the sky. He licked my lips, prompting me to open my mouth, and when I did, he slid his tongue into my mouth, slightly curling it around mine.

A moan escaped from my throat. Instinctively, I wrapped my hands around his neck and brought his face closer, eager to feel his hands on my body.

He removed his palms from both sides of my face and wrapped them around my neck as he scooped me up. One moment I was kneeling on the ground, and the next, I found myself on his lap, grinding on him as he kissed me as if his life depended solely on it.
