Marrying The Vampire Prince (Vampire Prince Series #1)

Chapter 6.2

“What are the two of you doing?”

I suddenly felt scared when I heard his loud and menacing voice. Kira and I both turned to look in his direction.

I wasn’t mistaken. It’s Kyle. His face had a blank expression as he stared directly at us.

But his eyes were so scary and dangerous. If looks could kill, Kira and I would probably be dead by now.

“What’s happening here?” Hiro asked as he arrived. Miley and Reiri followed him, their faces showing concern.

They both gasped the moment they turned their attention to us. “D-do you guys plan to kiss each other?” Miley asked bluntly.

My eyes widened at Miley’s question. She had her mouth agape, shifting her gaze between the two of us.

I looked at Kira and only then did I notice our awkward position. His hand was still on my cheek, and his lips were almost touching mine when I turned.

That was close!

I quickly moved away and averted my gaze. I could feel my cheeks burning red right now.

Why am I acting like this? I’m behaving like a teenager getting giddy at the sight of their crush. My heart hasn’t even cooperated yet.

Why does it feel like my heartbeat accelerated when I saw Kyle?

Suddenly, Kira stood up and laughed. “What are you all thinking? I’m just wiping the icing away from the side of her lips. You’re all overreacting.”

He shook her head. “You should have first known the real story before jumping to a conclusion.”

I felt as if I was suddenly doused with cold water. It was all because of the icing. It was also my assumption, to be fair. But why did he have to bring his face so close like that, right?

“We don’t care if you kiss or whatever. Just make sure you do it somewhere private.”

I felt my temper rising because of what Kyle said. Is that how he sees me? He wants me to trust him, yet he’s thinking all sorts of things about me.

I was about to speak, but when I looked at where he was standing, he was already gone.

How annoying! He escaped again!

Kyle Ethan’s POV

Until now, I’m still contemplating whether it was right to allow Miley and Reiri to bring Nicole here to the mansion. Even though Kira and Hiro have taken on the responsibility if anything happens.

I actually thought that Vince would also agree at first. Thankfully, we have the same thoughts and concerns about what might happen. He’s also against the desires of the two princesses.

I was about to object to their suggestion when Miley stood up abruptly and looked at me with determination. I will never forget what she said.

“Whether you like it or not, we will still bring Nics here!”

I was just taken aback. The way she answers me, you would think she’s the eldest. Even Reiri is like that with Vince.

I’m just afraid that she might discover something. I don’t really know what to do once she found out about our secret.

No matter how many times I remind them that Nicole was a human, they didn’t want to listen. They keep insisting that we could trust her.

So, in the end, I had no choice but to agree. On the condition that they would monitor her every move.

But I have a bad feeling about what’s going to happen. Especially since they’re getting closer to that person. Even though Kira and Hiro promised that they will take care of it, I can’t help but worry.

Vince is no longer in the mansion. He didn’t like the decision I made. Also, I’m sure he’s still troubled by what happened a few days ago. Until now, he can’t accept that Nicole was able to oppose him by reading her mind.

To be honest, even I have experienced some mysterious incidents related to her when I saw her sitting on the floor in the hallway that day.

I felt something hurt on my arm that day. But what bothers me the most is when I sense that she’s in danger.

I immediately stood up and walked away. I don’t know why, but it feels like I want to find her and be with her. It felt like somehow, we’re connected.

Then I saw her there.

I shook my head as I recalled that incident. For some unknown reason, I also want to see and be with Nicole now.

That thought alone scares the hell out of me. I shouldn’t feel this way. So, it’s better to avoid it while I still can.

I was reading a book in my room when suddenly, I heard Nicole shouting downstairs. Even without my presence there, I already have an idea about the cause of her rants.

I told them not to make noise. But what do I expect from them anyway?

I didn’t bother with them and just continued reading. But after a few minutes, I furrowed my brow as I suddenly heard Nicole’s voice, sounding nervous.

“W-what are you doing?”

I stood up abruptly, hesitating on whether I should go to her or not. I knew that Kira wouldn’t do anything wrong to her. I just wanted to make sure that everything was okay because I felt like she was my responsibility.

But I was the one who got surprised by what I saw. Their faces were too close to each other, with Kira’s hand on her cheek and his finger at the side of her lips.

I don’t know why I suddenly felt annoyed. I felt like I wanted to separate them and keep them away from each other.

Because of what I witnessed, I couldn’t control the rise in my voice.

They both turned to look at me. Surprise was evident on Nicole’s face, but Kira didn’t seem to care.

But deep inside, I knew he was nervous. We’ve been friends since we were young. So, I know him very well, and I can easily notice things that others can’t.

Due to my extreme annoyance, I said some words that I didn’t really mean. So, before I could do something regrettable, I decided to just leave immediately.

I returned to my room and slumped down on the bed. I stared into space, unable to understand my own reaction and how I felt.

I looked up when I heard someone cough. There I saw Hiro leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.

“First Vince, and now Kira. Maybe I’m next on your jealousy list, huh?”

I narrowed my eyes at him. What the hell is he talking about?

When realization hit me, I let out a mocking laugh. “Jealous? Why would I be jealous? Seriously, Hiro, if you have nothing sensible to say, just leave,” I responded, irritated.

He chuckled. “Yeah, why would you be jealous?” he teased.

I couldn’t respond.

“You alone can answer your own question.” He shrugged before walking away.

When he left, I instinctively placed my hand on the left side of my chest. For the very first time, it’s beating so damn fast.

It’s all because of a girl. A human girl, to be exact.

What is the meaning of this?
