The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 58: First Date
MY HEART… was suddenly so full that I was afraid it would burst. I’ve tried to deny it so many times, but at night, when the king was sleeping with me in his arms, I would lie awake and just stare at his handsome face, feeling guilty for this warmth and this tingle in my chest that I feel because of him.I sniffed and closed my eyes when I couldn’t bear to keep staring at Zachary. I was afraid that he might see right through me and feel that it was the same for me. I was barely alive all these times until I saw him in the forest.It was so cold in his city, but he kept me warm with his smiles, his laughter, and with his presence that was so huge it occupied the entire office.Even then, the king would always find excuses to hold my hand. And I’d let him because I wanted the feeling of his large calloused hand against mine. Even then, I’d wondered what this fuzzy feeling was, why I’d let him touch me when I’d flinch if it was other men.I knew it wasn’t just about work, wasn’t just abo

(Zachary)“I DIDN’T want to fall for you,” Kate bit out, frustration was evident in her eyes. Before I could ask, she added, “Because you are blind. I really hate that about you. You only see the pretty things about me. I’m a nervous wreck, Zachary. I’m damaged. I have tons of things I haven’t told you yet about myself and I’m afraid that once you find out about them, you’d leave me.”“And what are those things? You could try telling them now and see if I leave. But you have my word, swan, I will stay. Whatever it is. No matter what I hear.”Instead of answering my question, Kate’s tears just fell. She was changing. She was more open about her emotions in front of me now. She no longer hides her frustration, her fears, her anger, and her… love for me. And tonight, as she says those things, I could see her completely stripping off her mask.“I’m a coward, too.” I heard the bitterness in Kate’s voice when she added, “See? Even if I love you, I couldn’t even tell you anything now.”“I co

(Damon)AS SOON as I stepped inside Doctor Juno’s office, his male nurse quickly locked the door from outside and the doctor began attacking me with the syringes. They all came flying into my direction. After dodging the last one, I lunged at him and grabbed him by the collar.I gritted my teeth. My motto had always been ‘make love, not war,’ but that only ever applies to women. I had no patience with the opposite sex, especially tonight. Hell hath no fury like a starving man who didn’t get to finish his meal.I didn’t even get to cum because this psycho doctor bombarded my phone with calls and messages when I refused to communicate with him through my mind. That was my first break in a while and Juno stole that from me.Juno even had his entire medical staff sneaked inside the hotel I was in and when I didn’t respond after they knocked on my suite, his staff broke the door while the woman I was with ran and left me wit

(Kate) AS SOON as we reached the penthouse, Zachary cupped my nape and slanted my head for a kiss. The heat from his body seared through my skin. He pressed his erection against my stomach which made my core clenched and my breasts quivered. He released me for a moment only to gently push me on the bed. But before he could unbutton his suit, we heard the sound of the alarm echoed throughout the city. The rain had stopped a while ago that’s why we could hear the sound clearly now. I saw Zachary’s body tense. I got up. He turned to me and before he could say something, we already heard the second alarm. The first alarm meant that there were enemies at the border. The second alarm indicated that the enemies had breached through the borders and were now about to reach the castle. I’m sure they are not the Hunters. They cannot afford to attack the city in their current state. But whoever they are, they are moving in an extremely quick manner. “I will go check what’s happening. Stay her

I HAD spent most of my life forced to take just one side: the Hunters’. Tonight will be my first time having a chance to actually choose which side to take. And this is it.I would like to see what happens if I take the other side, I thought, as we ran inside the hospital.To make the rescuing quicker and more efficient, I assigned knights in different floors. Jonathan and I were on the fourth floor. Before the elevator opened, we had already sensed the Rogues.“I’ll go to the left,” I told him as I shot the first Rogue who greeted us in the hallway. “You take care of the rooms on the right.”“No problem. Call me when you need help,” Jonathan said as he drew his sword.“I will.”And then we sped in opposite direction. The screams had never stopped since the moment we stepped inside the hospital. There were Rogues in every floor. I brought out my revolvers and quickly targeted the Rogues who tried to block my path. Both of my hands were shooting nonstop in different directions. I canno

THE KNIGHT winced and for a split second, I regretted saying those harsh words. But I am not going to take them back. This is an emergency. He was a knight, for heaven’s sake. He should know better. Every second that he stops and falter, we could lose a life although that was not a part of Leonel’s teachings. I was taught that if worse comes to worst, I ought to leave by myself and to sacrifice even my own comrades if I must in order to report back and stay alive.Teaching me how to be cruel and selfish were not enough, Leonel taught me how to abandon and kill. I wasn’t taught how to save others. Maybe that was the reason why I wanted to take missions by myself back then because I didn’t want to experience abandoning and being abandoned.But surprisingly, what I’m doing tonight felt natural, my body was acting on its own. And a while ago, when the kids smiled at me, I felt an emotional catharsis and there was this hopefulness which seemed to have sprouted somewhere inside me although

IN THE MIDDLE of the patients who stopped and looked at me with hope in their eyes, of the knights who eyed me with sudden admiration, of Jonathan who raised his thumb, silently telling me I did a good job, I saw their King.Him being here meant that the storm was over now.I was expecting that Zachary would explode. We were obviously caught doing things without his permission. But then a tender smile curled his lips. And then he said something which seemed exclusive for my ears only.“You did great, swan. I am proud of you.”He was wearing a cloak as if he didn’t want to be noticed by others. He wanted this moment solely for me.“Take them. You earned them,” he added.I glanced back at the knights. I didn’t know that I would receive this much acknowledgment from them.“To be honest, this is too much. All I did was lend a hand, really. I was available and so I just did what I had to do. I wasn’t expecting anything,” I said as I consciously scratched my forehead. In my mind, I could he

I THOUGHT the palace would be filled with darkness, but as soon as the door closed, the lights from the crystal chandeliers all lit up. I was surprised to know that they were still working just fine even after all these years.So, all along, Zachary had the ability to light up the rose palace?But Zachary didn’t seem to notice the light. His eyes were on me the whole time. His eyes looked ferocious. He was clearly not himself tonight. It seemed like he was chained here. Knowing him, he must have asked for it. But he broke the thick chains, I only saw remnants of it scattered on the floor. Maybe the reason why Jonathan was confident to leave me with Zachary was because he was chained up.When he growled, I refused to move away. I stood still.He strangled me and lifted me until my feet could no longer reach the ground, his grip was too strong. I was sure it would bruise tomorrow.But the bruises would heal, the pain in his heart wouldn’t. When he regains his senses tomorrow, I was sure

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
