The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 36: Beautiful Chaos
I’D BEEN told many times that every woman needed a man in their life. The old couples in my neighborhood said that life was different with a man. They said it’ll be warm, that it’ll be safe.They also said it’ll be chaotic, but they guaranteed that it was a beautiful kind of chaos. I didn’t believe ‘chaos’ could ever be beautiful. I had lived with men all my life and so far, all they brought to me was pure chaos. There was no beauty, just total agony and destruction.Except for my brother, I considered every man a red flag.And so was Zachary. His very existence screamed red flag for a woman like me.But today, as this king looked at me with emotions so raw and so real, as he held me as if I was a glass that could break anytime, as I feel the heat in his body, I think that I’m beginning to slowly understand the warmth some women were bragging about. They said men were rocks and women could depend on those rocks.I totally and wholeheartedly disagree. I didn’t need another rock. I was
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 37: Who Are You?
ZACHARY cannot be a king and a warrior at the same time. Eventually, he would have to choose between the two. If he was an ordinary warrior, maybe I could give myself the chance to see where these strange feelings of ours could lead us.If he was a warrior, maybe he could find it in his heart to understand why I did what I did. Maybe then I could take a leap like any other ordinary woman would do. Maybe I wouldn’t have to lie to Mira. Our daughter wouldn’t have to live thinking that her father was dead. She wouldn’t have to look up at the sky at night wondering whether her father could see her or hear her from up above. She wouldn’t have to spend the rest of her life missing him.We could have been a normal family. I wanted that because I never had that. Maybe it would be nice to try having one for once in my life. But all these would remain as ‘maybes.’Because I was not an ordinary woman. Zachary was not an ordinary man either. We were born to be enemies. He had a major responsibili
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 38: Bitten
“WHY are the Hunters targeting you? Why do they seem to know you? And why does it seem like you know them as well, Miss Morelli? If you evade my question one more time, you will be the next person who will fall on the floor.” I know I pledged to keep the lady safe, but before that, I must know who I was trying to protect here. She neither blink nor waver as she took the lives of the Hunters and as blood spattered on the floor. I knew that look on her face. I had seen it many times in the battlefield. That was the same expression His Majesty wore as he led the war against the Rogues and Hunters: cold and unyielding, ready to slay whoever would stand in his way. She seemed used to giving commands as well. For a brief moment there, I thought I just saw a female version of His Majesty. Even now, with the gun pointed on her forehead, she did not look terrified at all as if she had been in the same situation many times before. She looked straight into my eyes as if she was looking at deat
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 39: The Awakening
IN this world, only the bravest gets to rule. Vampires believed in courage and willpower more than strength. That was the number one requirement when it came to sitting on the throne. Many were strong, but when things go wrong, they cower. They hide behind their subordinates. Worse, when war comes, they will be the first to run away. It just so happened that Zachary Collins possessed both bravery and strength at the same time. And it was not only because of his hell fire. Regardless of his temper, the knights followed him and admired him. I was one of them. I didn’t think I had met anyone braver and stronger until Kate Morelli appeared. Tau flew and hit his back against the wall when Mira pushed him away. Upon seeing it, the little girl stared at her hands with disbelief. “Princess-‘ “Get away from me!” she screeched. The noise must have awoken Kate. She weakly pushed Jonathan’s palm away. “I am not a Vampire. Why do you insist on making me drink your blood?” “Your condition is
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 40: The King's Woman
WHEN I saw how pain flashed through Kate’s eyes, I wanted to take back what I said but I stopped myself. Tau and Jonathan were both cursing me with their eyes.‘What a way to pour salt on her wound. Great job, Damon,’ Tau said sarcastically through his head.‘What do you want me to do? Sugarcoat things to make her feel better? That is not who I am, Tau. I would rather hurt her with the truth than to comfort her with lies,’ I shot back. ‘We owe her the truth.’We were still arguing when Kate calmly turned to Jonathan. “You brought ‘that’ bag with you when you took Mira and her things from my apartment, didn’t you?”“I did.”“What bag?” Tau and I asked.“The bag contained syringes with Katerina’s blood in them,” Jonathan explained.“If she is going to end up drinking blood, then I want her to drink only my blood, Jonathan. I don’t want any human to get hurt because of us. If my daughter gets thirsty again, you know what to do. I can’t be with Mira right now. And it’s not because I’m afr
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 41: A Deal With A Vampire
WAS it because of the rage in Zachary’s eyes? The worry in his voice? Or was it the agitation in my heart or the increasing pain in my shoulder? Oh, I really couldn’t tell which one was the cause. All I know was that the second he held me, my tears started to fall.It had been so long since I last had someone who would get angry for me whenever I would get hurt.“Who the fuck did this to you?” he yelled as he quickly bit his palm. “Drink,” he commanded afterwards.Pride will never save my life; I thought as I closed my eyes and grabbed his palm to drink his blood. He cussed for the second time when the bite mark did not disappear although the pain became bearable somehow.“Why is it not healing? Damn it!”I could feel His Majesty’s temper simmering. After a few seconds, I stopped drinking from his palm. In a blink of an eye, he was able to grab the knight’s sword and pointed it at his general.“What have you done, Damon? I remember telling you that you will lose your head if something
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 42: The Human That Got Away
(Zachary) ONLY this girl could save me from my own chaos. When I saw the bite mark on her shoulder, the fear that instantly gripped my heart upon knowing that I could lose her again anytime took me by surprise. The rage I felt next had overpowered me until I lost control. But when she held me, I began to see things clearly. I began to calm down. Unlike others, Kate just keeps on saying the opposite of the things I want to hear. And it really pisses me off, but when she looked at me, when her tears fell down along with the walls she surrounded her heart with, for a moment, I saw how vulnerable she was. I saw how rattled she was. She needed me. She needed more than my blood. Those were the things she would never say out loud, but I felt it when she kissed me. I felt her quiet desperation and her fears. When I released her mouth and looked into her eyes, I was greeted by her tough façade once again as if she was determined to see this whole thing as a task which she needed to do in
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 43: The Negotiation
Ten years ago…“YOUR MAJESTY!”In the middle of the pouring rain, I heard my subordinates’ voices, anxiously calling for me from wherever they were. I could hear them even in my head, but I didn’t want to answer. I didn’t want to get up or to even lift a finger.Now that Leonel Dela Torre was dead and the threat in the city was gone, maybe it was time I disappear. I had a castle I could go back to, but tonight, I preferred the company of the grass, of the mud surrounding my exhausted body over the comfort of my own bed.As the coldness began to sink deep into my bones, I had wished to stay here like this, unable to feel anything than go back to the biggest and grandest place in the world only to feel the heat consuming my entire being. In a few days, the curse would activate again.I would not be ‘me’ again.As the rain grew more intense, I found myself laughing sarcastically.Damn that witch. Damn the world. Damn everything.I just wanted to disappear. Forever.The Council members wo

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
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 118: Because You Loved Me
(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
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 117: Baby's Day Out
“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
