「️♔️」️

The Vampire King pulled me up as he led us to a car. He was still gripping my hand tightly in his as he drags me with him.

“Unhand me you vile creature!” I thrashed about but they seemed to be unaffected.

“You should be ashamed of yourself, how could you even turn your back on your kind!” I shouted at Jace expecting his reaction but his face was still impassive and stoic.

I was heaving heavily as I tried to make a plan on escaping but the Vampire King- or should I say Dimitri tightened his grip on my wrist as if he was reading my thoughts before he leaned closer to me.

“Don’t try to escape, Love” he whispered in my ear and I shivered in both disgust and the closeness. I backed away from his as much as possible, not wanting to be close to him. I don't even want to breathe the same air with him.

He led us inside the car as he threw me inside callously; afterwards he then entered the car. I glared at him with all my hate.

“What do you want from me?” I snapped at him as I rubbed my bruised wrist.

“No need to get angry at me, you should be grateful. And to answer your question, what I want? Simple. I want you” he said nonchalantly and bluntly, and that made my blood boil.

How could he simply state those words casually, did he think that kidnapping a person is a normal thing for him to do?

“Over my dead body! I will never be yours! I will only belong to Damien and I am only hi-” I was cut off short when I felt a sharp sting to my cheek, I cradled my red cheek with my hand as tears flow freely from my eyes. I glared at him with all thr hatred pent up inside.

“Look what you made me do!” he yelled in frustration before he removed my hand and I flinched as he cupped my cheek. I tried to get away from him but he had a strong grip on my jaw, making it slightly bruise.

“You will only be mine and mine only, you are not his. Remember that he doesn’t even want you, remember? When you first met him, you saw him in a bed with another woma-” and like karma itself I slapped him with my entire arm’s full force. Dimitri’s eyes widen as his eyes start to darken in a dark red color.

He is angry at me but I don't care, he slapped me first so I will do that to him too.

He grabbed my face and I winced at his bruising hold.

“Never, ever do that again!” he all but screamed at my face before he released me and I restrained myself from rolling my eyes.

“Do you understand?” he asked angrily.

I didn’t find it in me to respond so I settled in with a nod, he didn’t took it approvingly but he let it slide before he pointed his finger towards the driver.

“You!” he indicated to the driver.

“Drive” he ordered as if he was God himself, I wanted to scoff so badly. The driver looked so terrified of him; I wonder if he really is that scary?

‘Don’t do anything stupid Scarlett, he is a dangerous man and he will do anything to you’ Myr warned me, sounding concerned. She was still recovering from our heartbreak.

‘I will’

‘Please be careful, okay?’ I nodded my head at her and looked at the tyrant beside me.

“So where are you going to take me?” I demanded him, wanting to know more information so that it will make it easier for me to escape.

“To our Kingdom” his answer made me angry, there is no “our”. How he made kidnapping sound so casual makes me want to slap him again.

“Correction, it’s ‘yours’ not ‘ours’ and keep dreaming that will happen because it never will. My Kingdom belongs to Damien’s because my mate is Damien” I emphasized Damien’s name and how I am his mate. He growled in warning at my answer but I lift my head up in defiance.

He grabbed both my shoulders and made me face him. His eyes were full of fury and hatred as he stares at mine, his stare intense that sends shiver down my spine, my heary beating in trepidation.

“You will soon become my Queen and you will rule my side” he barked out.

“Even if you force me to be your Queen, my heart will always belong to Damien and him only. I have his mark and he has mine. There will be no use, you will only fail” I smirked at him as I tilted my head to make the mark more prominent.

I predicted his face to be full of concern that his plan wouldn’t work out but when I saw his face lighting up with amusement, as if he knows something that I didn’t made my smirk falter and turn into a frown.

“What are you up to?” I asked him as I gulped. Hard. There was a knot that formed in my stomach, indicating that this will not be a good one.

“You’ll see” and after that we didn’t spoke again throughout the ride, I was sweating in trepidation.

We arrived at Dimitri’s Castle which looked rundown and old; it is also scary because of its brooding color. He yanked me out of the car as he forced me to get out of the car. I screamed as he pulled me closer towards his Castle wherein I dug my heels to the ground to prevent me from moving but it was no use, he was clearly stronger than my calves are.

“Let go of me you jerk!” I screamed at him as I tried to claw the hand that is holding my wrist.

“Let’s wait until we reach the bedroom okay?” he muttered and I didn’t feel amused at all as I screamed again, telling him to let me go. Again.

I tried the other alternative move as I brought my knee higher to try and kick his groins but he was quick to avoid it.

I groaned in frustration as I felt tears well up in my eyes, I already had enough crying about my mate.

“Now don’t hit me there, how are we able to produce heirs if you do that?” He said with a smirk and I looked at him with disgust.

“You bring out negative emotions that I didn’t know that were there before! Know that I will never, never, ever mate with you, you can go and mate with a dog for all I care! I will only have a mate and he will never be replaced, I mean didn’t you even hear the introduction of what mates are? Ergo, you can’t replace him!” I screamed at him while I try and escape him again. I could see that he was close to snapping, his nose flaring as he tries to calm himself down.

“Stop moving, Damn it!” he shouted at me with frustration and I then and there I declared that I loved seeing him frustrated, irritated.

“Then stop kidnapping me asshole!” I retorted back.

“God! I am going to kill you if you don’t stop doing that!”

“Then kill me you idiot!” he stopped before he pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers.

“You!” he said as he pointed to a pale man wearing butler clothes.

“Y-yes m-my K-ing?” he stuttered as he approached us, the man looked shaken up, as if he was dealing with Death himself and maybe at this point he is. He even wears like Death himself.

“Go and grab the tranquilizer right now, I already have enough of this predicament with you” he said as he ran his fingers through his hair and I scoffed at him.

“If you had enough of this, then just let me go. Problem solved, no more irritation and frustration” I said to him obviously, my eyes darting back and forth to the doors.

The man came back but this time he was holding an injection that contains a certain liquid inside. I widened my eyes as he came closer. I started to run again but Dimitri tightened his somewhat loose yet tight grip on my wrist.

He grabbed the injection that the man offered him as he pointed it closer to me. I screamed and thrashed.

I hate needles.

“What are you doing! No! What is that! Let me go!” I screamed before I felt a sharp jab on my abdomen before I then felt something pierce through my neck.

I grabbed hold of my stomach in pain as I stare at Dimitri, my vision blurring that I am seeing two Dimitris and that made it a lot worse.

My world was spinning, like I was spinning around and around. My mind is fuzzy and I am feeling a little bit dizzy, black dots are also marring my vision.

“Why do I feel so sleepy? Oh look, butterflies” I said lazily before I saw the floor coming closer to me before everything black out.
