Adira's Reaction (1)

"No. There is poison in your body. I will urge brother to make it faster," she said as she tried to run from her chambers and get someone to help him.

"Shh… he is doing something to unravel the things that happened with my sister in the past. He will get the antidote soon after that. It will be before the moon rise. Don't urge him," he said in a gentle tone.

"B-but…." she wanted to say something but was cut off by Zaros.

"Shh… please, stay with me," he begged with his words and eyes. Those big silvery eyes filled with hope made her unable to say no to him. She melted down slowly in his eyes as she watched him. She couldn't say no to him. His silvery eyes were a little colorless than normal due to the presence of poison in his body.

"Okay," she nodded slowly at him listening to his words. She hugged him to her chest and made his head lay on her chest as she rested her back on the backrest of the bed.

Later… she got up and made him lie on the bed slowly. She went back and came with a bowl of water and a cloth. She wiped the wound and removed the stains of the blood on his body.

"Who did this to you? After the coronation, I will go rip their hearts from their chest," she said with anger bubbling in her heart. Her yellow eyes shined with a yellowish-orange hue. Adira wondered who that man was. She would surely settle scores with that person. She would torture him to their deaths. There must be a gang to injure him like this. If she gets her hands on that person or gang she will show all kinds of torture to them.

How dare that person do this to her husband!?!

How in the hell he was scratched on his hand and no one said anything?

She doesn't know why something was off with this situation.

Who was that person? She shall kill him or her.

Was it the runaway witch Ophelia? This witch was a real eyesore to him. How could she get involved in their lives too much? First, it was her sister-in-law, she will have to get rid of her.

She would go to the ends of the world to kill them.

Adira was too busy to mark out all the possible suspects in her head.

As she continued to fume in anger waiting for her husband's answer. Zaros stared at her in amazement. He never saw this much anger in her and worry for him. She was angered at the one who hurt him and worried about his pain.

Zaros was surprised at her reaction. He never thought she would react like this. He still thought that she doesn't love him anymore. But now… seeing her anger a bubbling feeling felt inside him.

A smile formed on his face as he looked at her. His brother-in-law scratched him to teach him a lesson but now… it became a blessing in disguise. A real boon.

He smiled mischievously at his thoughts.

Adira who noticed this looked at him suspiciously.

She wants him to be healthy. But he was acting stupidly. Was his poison going to his head turning him into a stupid person?

Was she stuck with a stupid person for a lifetime?

No! Maybe they need an antidote immediately!

[What's wrong with him? Did the poison get into his head? He is smiling foolishly? Maybe she needs to go to her brother and ask for the antidote quickly. Wait… he didn't answer her question. Does that mean… it isn't my brother, right?] she thought to herself.

But why would her brother do this to him?

Out of all the days, today? That too before the coronation day? Why would he do this something that would harm him? He won't do it. There must be something wrong. Her brother was always responsible. He wants to save the pact at any cost. This was not logical. Who can it be then? Her mind was a mess right now.

Who can it be? No one wants the pact to be canceled. So no royal family would dare to hurt him. They all want him to be gone by tomorrow. Pulling this stunt at this moment was not their style.

Someone outside the royal family seemed to be her option.

But who in the hell would do that for Zaros?

Were they haters of the Vampire Clan or Zaros?

Or were they someone whom you love?

Or was this the stunt pulled by other race people?

With many doubts, she shifted her gaze to her husband, who was only in his inner shirt and pants as he lay on her chest with a smile on his face.

"What's wrong with you?" she asked at his smiling face with a concerned expression.

"Nothing. I am glad you are worried for me," he replied with a smile.

"I will be. You are my husband!" she said with a pumped fist. Zaros smiled at her innocence, shaking his head.

This cute woman is his wife. Only his. No one can touch her. He would make sure that nobody will hurt her or make her cry. Anyone who hurts her will die.

Haye… what was she doing to his heart? She must be a magician that's why she was playing with his heart with her single innocent look.

How did he have the heart to torture her?

He must be dumb.

Yes, he was really dumb.

His brain went to sleep which made him unable to work.

If not, how could he torture his lovely wife? He could see imaginary fumes emitting from her ears in anger. Looks like she was really angry with the person who hurt her. What would she do if she gets to know that it was her brother? And how could she be so cute to forget everything when he was in pain? Only she can do it. His wife. His little wife.

Such a little one. He loves her. Yes, he loves her so much.
