Kyle looked at his eyes she saw something strange.
Something she hasn't seen in his eyes before.
Vulnerability.
And maybe a touch of pain and disappointment.
Adrian walked forward and looked in her eyes.
Tell me Kylie.
Are you betrothed to Tristan?
She nodded.
He growled and hardly punched on the wall.
Then he asked her.
Why didn't you tell me?
Why did you allow me to sleep with you, knowing fully well that you belong to someone else?
She shook her head.
No!
I don't belong to him.
I don't belong to Tristan.
But you are betrothed to him!
And I shouldn't have even touched you in the first place!
She nodded.
But I had plans of calling off the engagement.
Even before I met you.
Adrian stopped in his tracks.
She sniffles and continued.
I have never been with any Man in my life, not even Tristan!
Yet when I met you..... I dropped all my principles just for you.
I betrayed my pack, my family, my people!
And now you look at me like I betrayed you?
Adrian sighed.
He didn't even think about that.
She was indeed betrothed to Tristan, but he was rte first man to take her.
She was still pure when he met her.
That means that she never belonged to Tristan I' in the first place.
She cleaned her tears, and was about leaving when he grabbed her hands hurriedly.
She attempts to break free, but Adrian was powerful, so she stood still.
Even though she didn't look at him.
Adrian felt his heart sinking.
He tried to touch her face and she flinched.
That made his heart twist painfully.
He touches her jaw and turned her face with alter most gentleness.
Which was the the opposite of what he showed her before.
"Come on, please look at me ".
He pleaded in a low voice.
She looked at him, and he cleaned her eyes with his fingers.
" I'm sorry ".
He whispered.
She nodded.
He knew she had not forgiven him.
Kylie sniffled.
I'm sorry, I really am, okay?
You shouldn't have said those things.
Adrian nodded, I know, and I'm sorry it won't happen again.
Ok?
She nodded and he wrapped her arms around her.
Meanwhile, halfway across the nation.
In Morvayne Kingdom.
A young vampire prince.
Extremely handsome.
His gray eyes and blonde hair were a perfect match.
Damien walked around in circles still trying to figure out where his brother might be,
He had tried looking for him in the forests.
He even went to search his private villa by himself.
But all to no avail.
He even had a witch do a locator spell, but everything he did kept bringing them back to square one.
For the past few days, he had been trying to get hold of his brother.
His father walked into his chambers.
Damien was too busy thinking about how to find Adrian and didn't notice when his father walked in.
Lucian looked at his son, and shook his head.
Are you still thinking about him?
Damien nodded.
Lucian just chuckled.
Son let that man be, anytime he feels like coming home he will.
So please stop worrying about nothing.
Lucian left.
Damien was not surprised.
Their father had always been like that, ever since their mother died, he never cared about Adrian.
And in actual sense, that was the main reason behind the rift between both Adrian and Damien.
King Lucian Gravemire had always been known to be ruthless.
But not when it comes to Damien.
He never treated Damien with the coldness that he shows Adrian.
Lucian walked down the hall and all the guards bowed in respect.
***
Three male teenagers were playing in a courtyard.
Come on Damien get him!
Alexander screamed from across the field.
Damien was about to strike Adrian's sword until something strange happened.
In one swift move, Adrian struck Damien's sword with his.
And the sword went flying in the air.
Ahhh!
Damien groaned as blood started gushing from his arm.
Oh my God.
Damien I'm so...
Adrian was about to help his brother, when someone stuck him from the back.
He fell to his face.
His father grabbed him by the collar and struck him with his sword.
Adrian winced, but didn't give him the pleasure of seeing him in pain.
Lucian took that as him being stubborn and continued hitting him with his sword.
You Demon, how dare you try to kill my child.
I will teach you a lesson that you will never be able to forget.
Adrian removed his arms from hers, and the memories faded.
Kylie looked at Adrian with eyes full of pity.
How can a father be so heartless, of his own son?
Adrian noticed her gaze.
That was a long time ago, I'm okay now.
She found that hard to believe.
Then he looked into her eyes.
Especially because you are here.
So don't worry, I'm fine.
She nodded.
Adrian had been thinking about this all day and decided to tell her.
" I'll be leaving first thing tomorrow ".
Kylie blinked, confused by the sudden announcement.
Why?
He held her close and inhaled her scent.
The pure scent of coconut and honey.
"I have to go settle some old scores".
She looked at him.
She could see it.
That dangerous look on those blue eyes.
He kissed her forehead and continued.
" I have to make sure that whoever tried to kill me will pay".
She nodded.
Then the rumors about you are true.
You are indeed ruthless.
Adrian chuckled, grabbing her hands.
You among all people know that for sure.
"But when I find the person who tried to kill me, he will beg for his death ".
