Married To The Mad Vampire Lord novel Chapter 565

Chapter 565: The unexpected event at the wedding_Part 2

Max felt their father’s eyes on him and turned to find that he was being studied with those intense dark eyes that always made him feel as though his father could see straight through someone’s soul. He didn’t look away. Instead, he asked quietly, "For how long are you going to keep them out? The demons, I mean." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Rohan, who could see exactly what was wrong with his elder son, looked away from him. He had once thought that allowing the boy to choose goodness over the ways of many dark demons would mean he would grow up to be whatever he wished to be. Instead, it seemed that choice had twisted his mind in other ways. Max had done something to himself, something that was slowly destroying him from within. Rohan didn’t like this, not one bit.

He had shared his concerns with his wife the night the boy returned home, and just as he had noticed it, she had as well. She had tried to talk to Max, to make him share what was haunting him, but he had said there was nothing. And when a grown son says it’s nothing, you can’t force him to tell you what’s wrong, Rohan thought. Then he answered his question.

"We don’t need to keep them out anymore. Your grandfather’s people are already taking charge now. We searched Mirehaven last night so the wedding won’t get any unwanted guests today. Everything is clear now."

Max nodded, aware that the dark demons were already multiplying. Kamari and Annika had long since given birth, and it had been a blessing for their grandfather when they bore twin sons, sons who grew faster than most and were now serving not just their king, but his father as well.

"We have fished out the ones lurking in Velmere and sent them straight to your grandfather, where they are locked up," Rohan said. "They are easily intimidated by our kind, and once they realize we are eliminating them, they will back off. Power, strength, is what rules the world of demons. The strongest always win, and we are the strongest."

Aryen added his insight as well, "Lately, there haven’t been any around, because Finn hasn’t sensed them. The brothels and the fun houses are clear. At this point, I don’t think they pose much of a threat to us, but we just came out to make sure."

Max suddenly felt guilty. To think that he had been planning to move away from home and live somewhere far away, when there was a chance his family could become a target to another kind of demon race. He had let his own troubles rule him, wanting to escape, but now he realized he couldn’t do that anymore, not when these other demons hadn’t fully given up.

"Is there any chance they will get to us in the future?" Max asked his father.

"We are not certain of the future. All we know is that they are not a threat at this moment, especially today. Zyran and the others will be surrounding the wedding venue and keeping an eye on things, and your brother has the gift to sense a demon from miles away, just as you can manipulate anyone’s memories. We have the upper hand, Max. You don’t need to worry about us; you already have so much on your plate," Rohan said, patting his shoulder. He didn’t want to burden the boy further when he was already struggling with personal things and feelings he would never share with anyone.

"I am not worried; I know you can handle it," Max lied. "What about Elle? Won’t she be in danger if she gets married and moves away from the family?" he asked, trying to sound casual despite his concern.

"We have thought about that, but it’s no big deal since Eryx lives in Mirehaven. It’s Velmere they have their eyes on," Rohan assured his son.

Max nodded, then turned to his brother, who was talking to Aryen about another brothel they should check after the wedding for demons. He narrowed his eyes.

"Finn, I believe you heard Papa. No more brothels or demon hunting. Grandpa’s people will handle the rest."

Finn’s smile fell, and he muttered, "Are we really brothers? You are such a killjoy. You should loosen up and go check out the brothel yourself. I bet you wouldn’t want to leave the place."
