The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 26: Secrets
(Zachary)“THE CITIZENS are still feeling threatened over the issue regarding the Hunters, your majesty. To restore peace and stability in the kingdom, we recommend that you get married and produce an heir as soon as possible.”I yawned. I had been wondering about the Council’s true agenda regarding this sudden meeting which interrupted my other plans. I indulged them, thinking it was something important. Now that the cat’s out of the bag, I stretched my arms and rose from my seat. I cannot believe I wasted ten minutes of my life just to hear this bullshit.“I think it was all of you who feels truly threatened here, my lords. The last time I checked, the city and the people are doing perfectly okay. They are my people. I know them better than you all do and I would wager that in my own way, I interact with them more than you do. They know they are safe inside the city walls. Even if the Hunters were to miraculously rise from the ashes, our army can handle them. With or without my marr

(Jonathan)‘I WILL be honest with you, Vampire. This woman is not going to live long. No matter how strong she is, with her abilities still sealed, she would die before or after she give birth. Even if you make her drain all of your blood, it will not be enough for the baby. She would soon end up feeding on her mother’s blood and energy. It is in her nature. Katherine is a human. Carrying the child of the Vampire King is something humans could never handle.’Those were Isadora’s first observation upon seeing Katherine weeks ago. The Mage had lived up to her reputation seeing as how she was able to quickly discover who Katherine was and who was the father of her baby only by holding her hands.When His Majesty grabbed my shoulder as if he was trying to see right through me, I forced myself to remain steady. If His Majesty was betrayed, he would never forgive. That’s who he was. Even if I was away, I kept hearing news about him and the massive changes he had brought in the city. If he w

(Kate) MY HEART thrashed when I heard the sound of the windows breaking. There was someone else in this house other than me. My instinct was screaming at me to get up and check it out, but my stomach kept growling like a starved tiger. No matter what I eat and drink, I don’t feel full. I had already emptied the blood bags Jonathan had left in the fridge. It was supposed to last me for weeks, but he had only been gone for a few days and I had already drained them all. After Jonathan left, there had been a bulky man spying outside the gate late at night. Yesterday, I woke up at the sound of the front door clicking as if someone had been trying on the locks. This morning, I changed the lock and tonight seemed to be the perfect timing for the perfect crime. The neighbors went out for a trip. I saw them leave a while ago. And so, the man came back tonight and didn’t hesitate to make a sound, he went straight to the windows and smashed them. Even when I heard

Seven years later…“MOMMY?”I stopped the car in front of the school gate and turned to Mira, my daughter. She was my miracle and so I named her after that although Jonathan and I often call her by her nickname.I caught her staring at the kids who were accompanied by their parents. Today was their first day of school. And just like before, it was just the two of us. Jonathan volunteered to drive us, but I refused because I didn’t want Mira to get too used with his presence during important days like this.One day, Jonathan would have a family of his own, too. He could move out of Itbayat and live somewhere far. I didn’t want to tie him with us. That was the reason why I decided to move out of his house when Mira was three. I didn’t want my daughter to keep hoping that there would be a chance for me and her Uncle Jonathan to be together. I know that behind my back, she was targeting him as her potential ‘Daddy&rs

IT SUDDENLY struck me. The restlessness each time Kate’s eyes would soften over a mere text message, this irritation upon the thought that she stitched tirelessly for several days just for a certain someone, these were the feelings I ignored before. It took me seven years to know what it was.All along, this ugly feeling was jealousy.The car windows were tinted and yet, the second Kate looked at our direction, the fire in my hands vanished. But my anger didn’t.Damon was still preaching when I disappeared in the backseat and showed up behind the pest. He was still holding Kate’s wrist. I grabbed his arm.“Leave,” I said as calmly as possible.The pest turned to me after I released his arm. He seemed shocked and intimidated at first, but then he raised his chin.“Whoever you are, it’s you who should leave. Don’t interrupt us. The shop is already closed for today,” he said in a dismissive tone. “Go and find another shop. Can’t you see? My girl and I are busy-““Is this squid your lover

(Zachary)KATE was flabbergasted. Her eyes widened and her mouth opened as if to say something, but then in the end, she opted to shake her head and look away. Her cheeks had turned bright red. Did she ever know how lovely she looked right now?I just wanted to devour her. All of her. I would do it right here, if possible.“Kate, look at me,” I commanded softly, something I didn’t know I was capable of.“Fine, I get it. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said that. But must you really say those words, your majes-I mean Zachary?”There. She finally said it. My name. Although she was forced to do it, it felt nice to hear my name from her. An amused smile curled my lips when she refused my order. I thought it was adorable how she kept trying to avoid my gaze. I glanced at her hands on the table. There was no ring yet.Good.I took her hand and drew rough circles on her palm. Her breathing had become uneven. Her body temperature rose. Did she feel it, too? If it was up to me, I would have tele

(Kate)FOR the second time tonight, my heart was acting up again as I stare at His Majesty’s eyes. I was seeing only my reflection there. After his Christmas greeting to a certain ‘Kate’ on the radio seven years ago, that name had become viral for months.Many people on the internet kept questioning who that lucky woman was although no one got an answer. I only accidentally heard a DJ talking about it on the radio. Zachary Collins was a name that could be heard from the women’s mouth almost everywhere. He had become every female’s embodiment of a ‘prince charming’ on a white horse especially with all the financial support he had been sending to students and athletes in different parts of the world.Never did it occur to me that I could be ‘that’ Kate. There were countless Kates in the world. And I know His Majesty. He was never the type to settle with one woman. I know his needs better than anyone else. I had witnessed it myself several times.“I want you, Kate,” he added.I shivered.

ZACHARY looked deep into my eyes. And when his gaze went to my lips, he swallowed. His breathing had become as irregular as mine. He cupped my cheeks and then he let out that sexy laugh, as his thousands of admirers put it. It was not supposed to affect me, but it did.His eyes had become softer. It was not like this was the first time I heard him laugh but for whatever reason, whatever he was doing tonight seemed brand new to me.“What’s funny?” I asked.“You. Your voice was full of conviction as you defied me and refused me, but here you are, looking at me like you want to be kissed by me.”“That’s not true.”“You have become a liar, Kate.”That’s the thing. I had always been a liar. I had been lying to him since day one. I pushed him away. “Please let me go, your majesty.”He looked into my eyes once more as if he was trying to see right through me and when he seemed to have failed, he took a rugged breath. “Only this time.”I went back to the seat and made sure to put enough dista

The Vampire King's Secret Baby Final Chapter: Our Happy Ending
(Zachary) IT WAS almost five in the afternoon. It was time to pick up swan from her campus. I was about to call the twins who were running around the lawn when I saw how Mira swooped in and carried Alain in one hand and Algernon in another. The twins were playing with their guards who were now sweating so hard. After getting caught by their sister, the boys pouted and lowered their heads. Their playfulness had never worked on my eldest. “What time is it now?” she asked the twins. “Five,” Alain answered. “It’s still three minutes and eleven seconds before five in the afternoon,” Algernon added. “Aren’t you forgetting something?” Mira asked again. The twins gasped and together, they said, “It’s time to pick up Mommy from the human realm!” “You finally remembered. Now go to your rooms and fix yourselves. Don’t come to her campus looking like that. Both of you were the ones who insisted on picking her up today and yet, you forgot?” The t

(Kate)IN THE middle of checking the photos the butler had sent regarding Algernon, I noticed Jonathan peeking at his wristwatch. There were more photos to look at. Others were about Mira. She sent the pictures herself. She was getting along really well with her friends. She had completely adapted to her hybrid life.Whenever I’m away, I can’t be at ease unless I see the reports about my children. Even with the blood link, the trauma the witches and the hunters had caused me will take a while to get rid of. And I was glad that Mira understood. She was the one who volunteered to send her daily pictures to me to keep me posted especially whenever they had school activities.But in time, I know the trauma will disappear.The other photos were regarding my husband and Alain who had caused troubles in the office. Violet sent them to me after giving me a call since she visited Damon there and brought him his blood bag. He caught the general in the l

“GREETINGS, your majesty and the prince,” everybody greeted. The women held onto the bottom of their skirts because the wind kept blowing them away.I held my little guy’s hand and put it down. The wind vanished. But when he looked up at me, he looked like he was about to cry as if I ruined his fun.“Don’t look at Daddy like that. Here. I brought your favorite toy,” I said and gave him his teddy bear. His smile came back as he grabbed the toy.The people sighed, relieved. But the aftermath of the trouble my son unconsciously caused was still palpable. I snapped my finger. In a blink of an eye, everything had turned back to normal.When we rode the elevator, Damon caught up to us. After bowing to give his greetings, he looked at me curiously.“My wife is in a meeting. I can’t leave the twins under the servants’ care. They already looked so stressed. I had to bring one of them. That’s the only way to appease my wife as well. I didn’t want her to worry all day,” I said before he could as
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 116: Red Handed
SEEING my wife like this reminded me of the phone call I received while I was still inspecting the border. That was around six in the evening.‘Your majesty?’ she asked in a low voice.I smiled and loosened my tie. There was something in her voice which made me feel hot even if it was windy outside. ‘Yes, swan?’‘What time are you going home tonight?’‘I’m not sure. There are still areas we haven’t visited yet. Why? Do you miss me already? What’s up with this sudden call?’ I teased.I never needed phone calls when I could always teleport whenever I miss her which happens constantly. Most of the time, I would show up in her workplace or in the twins’ room to steal a kiss from her and if I get lucky, we would do it quickly. I just could not get enough of her.I guess I never gave swan the chance to miss me that’s why after two years of our marriage, this was her first time calling me first.‘Nothing. I just called to say that… I’m not wearing any underwear tonight. And I’ve already prep
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 115: Our Little Devils
Two years later…I KNEW I would find her here. These past few months, I rarely see my wife in our chamber. She was constantly in Alain and Algernon’s room. Even if our twins had their own servants, she was still hands-on when it came to them.It was past eight in the evening. I normally come home at five in the afternoon but today, I went with the knights for the monthly inspection around the borders. Mira greeted me at the doorway a while ago and told me that she already had an early dinner with her mother. Still, I caught her stealing a blood bag in the fridge for a snack.When I heard that her mother was sleeping upstairs, I sent our eldest to bed after her snack and after monitoring her mana and her blood intake since today was Thursday and it was my turn to monitor it to keep her mana and her powers in check. The kingdom may be peaceful now and there were no more threats but after what Kate and Terrence had experienced, it would not hurt to be careful.Our children’s blood was li
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 114: Mrs. Collins
(Zachary)I FINALLY get it. What they say about family, about parents. I thought I knew enough about parental love after being a father but Dayanara Gregory had shown us what a mother’s love was and why it was important.I had seen it when Swan covered for Mira after she bit her, when she looked at our daughter with wonder and affection in her eyes as she watched her play in the garden, when she brushed her hair, when she worried whether she had taken her meals or not, and when she kissed her at night as she wished her a sweet dream.Lastly, I saw it the night Swan was shackled. I saw how she strived to make sense of the situation when Mira ran to her, barefooted and with tears flowing down her cheeks. I saw how she broke her heart to appease our daughter’s heart while I stood there, unsure what word to say and what step to make, because I never understood the gravity of having a parent and losing one.All I understood was the pain of a husban
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 113: Sing Me A Lullaby
(Damon)ON the way to the castle, no music could be heard. Unlike before, there were no festivities. There were no children playing on the streets either. All the establishments were closed. The people I saw were wearing white.They hung lanterns in every house as their way of sending the queen off believing that the lanterns will light up her path towards another world.I continued to drive and stopped in front of the castle. The gates were opened for everyone who wished to visit the queen. There were more and more people coming by. I stepped out of the car and instantly heard the sound coming from the flute. It was from Jonathan who was in the garden, her highness’ favorite spot.He looked so lost as he played the flute which gave off a heart-wrenching sound. He hadn’t spoken a single word since yesterday. He hadn’t changed his clothes either. The queen’s blood on his uniform was still there. Even his hand still had her blood on
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 112: Alone
I KNOW it was wrong to feel this way because swan is still alive. She has to be alive or else, all those traveling, all those twelve duels just for one silly flower would not mean a thing, or else I would regret not being by her side for the past two days as she waited for me while enduring so much. “Swan, hang in there,” I whispered and forced a smile. “We are about to reach the top. Just take a nap for the meantime. I know you are tired. I will wake you when we get there.” It was already bright when we reached the top. I took the final step and stopped to look around us. The wind blew. My chest felt like it was being squeezed when I said, “Wake up, swan. Open your eyes, come on. We are on top of the mountain now. We fulfilled your wish. Do you see it? The scenery is as lovely as you said.” Again, there was silence. “You also said that it would feel liberating when you are one with nature like this. But swan, I don’t feel liberated at all. The beauty I
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 111: Game Over
I WAS stunned. I could not move. I could not even speak.But when Kate was about to fall, my body automatically moved to catch her. The wind and the rain had stopped at once. The hunters vanished one by one as if their lives were linked with hers. Blood was still gushing from her chest when she tried to open her eyes.They were back to being blue.Jonathan pulled out the sword from her and kneeled before us.Kate proudly smiled at him and said, “T-thank you, Jonathan. You did well.” And then she turned to me. “Where have you been? I missed you, my husband.”I held her hand. “Doctor Juno is preparing the medicine. Wait a little more, swan. I will take you back home and-““No, Zach. I don’t think I could survive this anymore,” she whispered as she caressed my face. “Love, what took you so long? Where were you? I waited for you.”Tears streamed my cheeks. “I’m sorry, swan. I’m sorry for leaving your side. But why did you do that? I don’t need to live forever! What the hell am I going to
