Chapter 230 ---- CELINE I swallowed hard at his words and his hypnotic gaze, but I didnt feel as euphoric as I had imagined I would.
Maybe because he was a vampire, and I didnt like that arrogant, snobbish race at all.
"Mia, are you sure this man is our mate?" "It seems like he is." What do you mean seems, Mia? Wake up!" "Yes, yes, I can feel the bonds chemistry, but...
I dont know.
I dont want him to touch me.
Its only connected to your vampire side." You're distracted.
Its rude to talk to your inner wolf while Im asking you something.
Can you hear her? I asked, feeling a flicker of hope.
He let go of my chin and straightened up.
How could I hear your animal side? We havent even performed any ceremony, he replied in a slightly mocking tone, walking toward a nearby table.
He did hear her, I thought, and once again, my mind drifted to that man in the castle.
Was he real? We have a lot to talk about, you and I.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIts unexpected that my mate is a hybrid.
Honestly, its not very pleasant for me, he said, approaching again.
My eyes locked onto the dagger now in his hand.
Was he going to kill me? ---- You dont have to end my life to break the bond.
You can just reject me.
In fact, I dont like this bond either.
Ikicked my feet and tried to stand, but he moved at an incredible speed, pressing the tip of the dagger to my neck, tracing it softly along my skin.
Who said we cant both benefit from this bond? His low voice poured into my ear, and I didnt dare take a deep breath.
Tellwhat you need from me, and 1ll tell you what I need from you.
I stood there, stunned.
Did I need something from him? Of course, something crucial something life or death.
Even though I resisted the idea of having a vampire as my mate and wanted to fight it, the Goddess had screwedover with this bond.
And honestly, I didnt want to die who would, when the solution was right in front of them? But just the thought of him marking my neck made my stomach turn.
Why, if he was my mate? Then again...
if it were another vampire...
T need your mark to stabilize my vampire side.
Once Im healed, we can dissolve the bond.
Thats all I ask.
What do you want from me? JT want you to tellwhat trick you used to get into the castle.
How did you manage to pass through the forbidden lands? He seemed very interested.
Forbidden lands? I just climbed over that gate.
Cant you? Dont play dumb, hybrid! I mean...
he recomposed himself from his sudden outburst.
Whats your name? Celine, I replied, annoyed and frustratedthis wasnt getting us anywhere.
Look, I honestly dont know what you re talking about.
I just passed through the gate, thats it...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut then I remembered he had toldonly Icould enter.
you didnt hear a mans voice? A vampire? Whats your connection to Prince Zarek? he asked, visibly anxious.
The mention of that nstirred something deep inside me, but it faded quickly.
Yes, I...
Isawa man.
He toldhe could letinto the palace.
Who is he? Is his nZarek? And then [heard the story of that vampire imprisoned in the dungeons, and suddenly, everything made sense. He had been locked up there by one of the first Selenias, punished for his crimes.
Now that none of them ruled and no one controlled the castle, he wasn merely looking for a foolish, unsuspecting girl to seduce and use to set him free. Apang of disappointment throbbed in my chest, a dull ache that soon faded in the storm of my thoughts.
Tf Zarek is one of your kind, wouldnt it be in your best interest to see him freed? I raised an eyebrow, not entirely convinced.
It was understandable that he wanted to eliminate the competition he was aiming to be the next monarch.
T see you re getting the point.
Zarek isnt just powerful; hes worse than Kael, the previous kingbloodthirsty and ruthless, even with his own kind.
No one wants that man to be set free.
So what if I trick him? Make him believe I want to free him so he takes be takes down the barriers, and then I let you the barriers into the castle?
