The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 81: Breathe Again
Three months later…(Kate)THE VIEW was worth it. Terrence’s grave was located on top of the hill along with our parents. I’d seen it from below, the colorful flowers which could only be found here. There were nine petals in each flower and every petal had a different color. I heard they bloom all year round and give off this amazing scent.The hill was a two-hour climb. I didn’t use my abilities because I wanted to climb it through my own efforts.I lit three candles in front of their tombstones and sat on the grass. I only gained the courage to leave my room and visit them all today.I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it yet. I thought I would need more time. I thought it would still hurt so much.But this morning when I woke up and found Mira and Zachary sleeping by my side, I remember smiling for the first time after three months. When I opened my eyes and saw them, I no longer felt cold. Instead, I began to feel warm inside again.Unlike me, I knew that Zachary and Mira had been
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 82
THE WEDDING was only a month away. We could no longer postpone it. The Council had given us enough time already. Even if Zachary was the king, he could not afford to stop it anymore. The ministers were rushing the wedding because of the crowning ceremony. It would follow right after the wedding.The public also feel obligated to put me-Dayanara and Valentino’s heir-to the throne, and to officially recognize Mira as the kingdom’s princess.I’m currently sitting on the bed and was reading the wedding details when Zachary had stepped out of the bathroom wearing only his white robe. He was busy wiping his hair when he caught me staring at him. He smirked before he sauntered towards the bed.It had been a while since we had a time like this together.Back then, even if Mira was in school and he came home early, he didn’t do anything beyond giving me a hug and a kiss on the temple. His monthly rut had finally stopped although I knew he still had needs.How many times did I see him going to
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 83: No Matter What
“HOW was the boy?” I asked, my heart was pounding. “Please tell me that he’s okay.”Jonathan smiled. “He is okay, your highness. I talked to the school director and according to him, the princess managed to come back to her senses on time. She had him drink her blood. I heard that the boy is doing fine now; he had recovered faster than usual because of her blood. Still, the princess must be shocked that’s why she ran away.”I was not aware that I was holding my breath while waiting for Jonathan’s answer. Mira had not fed again ever since living in the city.“I grew up in this city, your highness, so please trust me when I say that what happened was a normal occurrence to young vampires,” Jonathan assured me as he glanced at me through the rearview mirror. “We are all immortals here, there was no way the princess could kill her friend through feeding alone unless that boy is a human. They would study about that in their next lessons.“Not to mention that the princess acted fast and too
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 84: Double Trouble
I CLENCHED my hands as I stride inside the castle. We made a rule the day Mira accidentally fed on her classmate to make sure that it would never occur again. And I thought we were already clear on that matter but as soon as I finished trying my wedding gown, I received news about the father and daughter duo.I think it was time to break their tandem.Zachary had volunteered to personally teach our daughter about feeding.I didn’t want Mira to get used to feeding on her classmates and friends. I didn’t want her to lose control again and to hate herself for it again. We agreed that she would only drink through the blood bags.It had only been a few days since we set the rule and now, I heard that Mira fed on a black rose and her wonderful father allowed her to do so.I didn’t need to search for them anymore. The two walking disasters were already in the living room. I was so furious that I wanted to hit Zachary in the head and lecture Mira, but I stopped when I saw the duo kneeling on
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 85: Dark Hour
(Damon)“WHAT’S GOING on?” I asked the Mages, my heart was beating frantically as I rushed towards Violet’s bed. Her body was convulsing and her tears spilled down her cheeks. She was screaming, but I don’t understand what she was saying.“Why are you all just staying there and doing nothing?” I shouted when the Mages just surrounded her bed. What the heck was wrong with these people? They should care more about their genius mage. Without her, they wouldn’t have known the existence of Dayanara’s heir.“We cannot interfere here, General. Violet cannot wake up. She seemed trapped inside her nightmare. If we try to do something, we will be dragged inside the nightmare. And we may never get out from it anymore,” one of them said. She was among the senior Mages.“So, you are just going to let her suffer alone?”“We cannot leave Her Highness’ side. We have a duty to fulfill. The princess also needs our guidance. I believe that Violet would understand that. She would not want us there with h
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 86: Santa's Naughty Gift
I HAD treated the castle as my second home. I was familiar with the rooms here but today; I could not push the door open. His Majesty summoned me in his office.After what I just saw and what I had just been through, I didn’t know how to face His Majesty again. My left thigh still hurt the way it did in the dream.No, screw that. It was a nightmare. I had proven that myself. And while I’m here, comfortable and in peace, Violet was still there, trying to act like some sort of a fixer. What in the world was she thinking? Who was it that she wanted to talk to?“I know you’re there, Damon. Get in,” His Majesty commanded.I shook my head and struggled to follow Violet’s wishes. She may be a terrible lover but when it came to her clan, she was devoted. She said she learned that from Dayanara, her mentor and her hero.I plastered a smile on my lips before opening the door. I was surprised by the dark atmosphere that greeted me inside. The king was frowning.Jonathan was there, too, and was s
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 87: Playtime's Over
(Zachary)THIS Christmas will remain stuck in my head for years not only because it was the first Christmas the city had celebrated, but because it was the first time that Santa Claus actually got to receive a Christmas gift.Swan was that generous. She removed the ribbon on my head and tied it around my hands.“You are my gift. That means I can have you however I want, right?” she whispered on my ear before running her tongue over my earlobe. “No matter what I say and do, you can’t complain.”My breathing quickened. “I won’t.”She smiled. And my heart raced for the countless time. With her cheeks still flushed, she commanded, “Then roll over for me, Santa. Tonight, I’ll be on top.”I grinned. “Gladly.”I didn’t know that giving and receiving gifts could be this thrilling.We shifted positions. She sat on my stomach. I had already gotten rid of her bra earlier although she was still wearing her dress. If only she didn’t glare at me and said that it was her favorite dress, I would have
The Vampire King's Secret Baby Chapter 88: A Taste Of Heaven
I WAS about to grab a glass of water for Kate when I noticed the blue roses in the vase. My brows knitted. I strode forward and took the card beneath the vase. There was a short message on the card, but there was no name from the sender. The penmanship was almost the same as mine. ‘I love you,’ those three words made my jaw clench. “Oh, I almost forgot to thank you for the flowers,” Kate said in a sleepy voice. “That’s so sweet of you, Zach, for sending flowers twice every day. Thank you and I love you, too.” I just smiled. I do give her flowers every morning when she wakes up, but I didn’t bother inserting a card. And I don’t ask somebody else to give it to her for my own selfish reasons. I wanted to see her reaction myself and I wanted to be the only one to see her smile as she receives it. These blue roses were not from me. The sender may have left out his name on the card, but he did leave his scent on it although it was faint. This had the same scent as Dimitri’s which meant

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
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

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
