Married To The Mad Vampire Lord novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128: Compelling

It was well into midnight by the time Rohan took his wife home and came back for the human.

He had made sure Belle had been cleaned properly and dressed. He had even stayed to apply ointment to every one of her bruises and wounds, then dropped a few medicines that would fight the drugs that had been given to her into her mouth and tucked her well into the bed. If the medication works, she would wake up feeling fine.

A sleep was all she would need to be fine again.

He had even stayed to smoke outside the castle, taking his sweet time, wishing in the deepest part of him that the bastard would die before he reached him—and also hoping he wouldn’t, because he didn’t want to hurt Belle more.

However, when Rohan returned to the human, he was astonished to find that the man had regained consciousness and was now struggling and blindly trying to reach the front of his wagon.

Both his eyes had swollen, and his face was beyond recognition. He looked like a vampire in the process of turning—rough and deformed—and Rohan smiled at the sight.

At least the bastard would live with the scar for life, even though Rohan was about to rob him of many memories.

He came down in front of the struggling human as silently as he could, and the instant Jamie saw him, he froze and pressed his back against the wagon, trembling.

He wasn’t trembling in fear, Rohan realized in amusement, but in rage.

"Tsk, you are one stubborn man, Merchant. Your stubbornness is no different from a he-goat’s. To think you can still glare at me through those swollen eyes," Rohan chuckled in amusement, "It makes me want to break you more, to see just how much stubbornness you could still keep. First human that doesn’t fear me. Interesting."

His heart was beating frantically, but it wasn’t in a way that was of fright. Rohan thought, studying and watching the human trying to push himself straight while gripping his broken wrist. It was hard to read an expression on a face so beaten.

"You son of a bitch," Jamie said with a groan, as it hurt to even move his mouth to speak. His entire body was in pain, his head felt like it had been split into two and then glued back in place. "You turned my woman against me and—"

"I wouldn’t use that word again if I were you, Merchant," Rohan warned, his amusement falling slowly. "If you have the brain of a chicken and have forgotten, she is married to me now. She is mine, and only I have the right to call her that. I don’t permit you. Go on, what were you saying?"

He gestured for the human to continue speaking, like he gave a damn. Meanwhile, he only wanted to watch him be in more pain, because the more he opened his stupid mouth to speak, the more pain he seemed to be in.

Rohan had promised not to kill him, and he wouldn’t—but then, he had not promised not to enjoy seeing him in pain.

Jamie saw right through what the madman was doing. He wished he had the strength to fight and take back his woman, but then he wasn’t so dense as to fight a night creature in such a condition.

"You are a devil," he groaned in agony. "You will burn in hell."

"I have been there many times, human. And about being a devil, you should know that by now," Rohan said as he crooked his head to the side, a smile playing on his lips.

He should put an end to this nonsense and get the human away, but Rohan wouldn’t back out yet because he wasn’t the one in pain—and the person in pain seemed to have much more to say, as he kept glaring heatedly at him.

"She doesn’t love you. Belle will never love you. She hates your kind and will do anything to end them!" Jamie exclaimed, finding the strength to stand straight and face the vampire.

If he had lost Belle, then he would make sure not even this person could have her. She should suffer the pain of rejection like he had, and without thinking about what he was about to say, he said them anyway.

"She agreed to marry you because she wanted you dead, all of you. She was sent to spy on your land to get the weakness that will kill you. She was here on a mission, do you hear me? A mission to end your world and you. Once she finds what she came here for, she will leave you and go back to her homeland. She will kill you!"

Rohan’s eyes began to darken slowly, his expression hardening and his hands clenching as the words of the human sank in.

Jamie watched his expression, satisfied that he had just managed to shatter what life Belle believed she could live with this creature from hell.
