“You seem to be appetizing Hazel! If only I could take a sip and know what you tasted like!”

“….” Hazel blinked her eyes as if she had finally broken the spell he had done on her.

Why in the world was she even expecting a kiss from him! She should have known better that he was a beast and would only talk about sipping her blood.

She was nothing but food for him!

‘This man should be names as male version of femme fatale!’ shaking her head she glared at the man with cold eyes.

“Why would I let you drink my blood? You have told me that you would keep being safe and alive if I would listen to you! Are you going back on your words even after holding such a high post!?” her straight allegations with that aggrieved face looked so adorable in his eyes.

He raised a brow as he scanned her face and pouty lips, he knew that she was expecting a kiss but not now! This was neither the right place nor the right time._.

“So, you will listen to my every word from now on?” she nodded in a blink hearing his challenging question and a satisfied smile formed on his face though his eyes still scanned the face of the girl with suspicion.

She was not from those who would easily raise white flag yet she accepted his conditions so easily this time! There must be some glitch.

“Are you doubting me, my lord?” she puffed her cheeks as she blinked and looked at him as if she was a dejected puppy.

“Well, why don’t we test it rather than arguing about it?” she hated that harmless look on his face.

Whenever he looked that way, he was about to throw a strong attack on the enemies.

She gulped as she felt the intensity of her promise!

“What is there to test!” His eyes left her and scanned the room as they still swayed slowly on the beats when his eyes fell on the gritting face of Venisa who looked like she would tore Hazel into pieces.

His eyes gleamed and then he brought his face closer to the face of Hazel and whispered in a soft voice,

“There is a girl named Vanessa, clad in a black dress. I want you to go to her and insult her. Show her your power and authority as you have shown to the staff on your first day.

If you won from her, I would accept your loyalty, if not only God would be able to keep you alive here!” His soft and seductive voice that could make the knees weak of any girl out there human or vampire, only left goosebumps on her skin!

She knew it! Under this soft face and warm smile, a cruel and distant man who did not care about anyone but him! He was only trying to create a war for his entertainment!

She nodded her head but did not move an inch as she continued to dance with him as if she had not heard him at all.

He waited for a second or two but then his patience seemed to wear out swiftly as a frown formed on his delicate features.

He did not understand why the girl was not leaving? Was she making any plan in her mind?

With curiosity, he could not help but ask,

“Why have you not gone yet?” traces of impatience and curiosity could be felt in his voice and she raised her head innocently and blinked.

“Where shall I go, my lord?” her oblivious voice confused him further as three deep lines formed on his forehead.

Had the girl suffered from schizophrenia? Hadn’t he told her to go to Venisa and insult her?

“Did you not hear me? You said that you would listen to my every word without any question!” he raised a brow and his voice filled with a cruel laughter as if saying! See! I knew that you were lying and would not do what you were saying.

“My lord! I know what I said, and haven’t I done that too?” For the first time in his life, Rafael felt he could not understand someone.

What was she even talking about!

“How?” This time his voice raised a bit and all the night creatures turned to look at them.

Since they have strong senses, a single sound was enough to gain all of their attention. Not to forget that they were already stealing glances at the couple every now and then.

They could see them dancing sensually and whispering sweet nothing in each other’s ears that had left them baffled.

Rafael, as a pure blood vampire, had never been found by humans. He had played a strong role in the long war against humans and he had even killed his previous wives sent by the council.

Then what had changed? This question was eating all of them alive!

Hazel turned her head when she felt all the eyes were on her, but instead of feeling embarrassed, she looked at all of them boldly as she snaked her hands in the neck of the man and brought her head closer to his face as if flaunting her authority and rights over him that left everyone stunned.

They turned their head away and gritted their teeth knowing well the girl was trying to be arrogant again!

Satisfied with the result, her eyes glowed like a fox and then she smiled derisively and whispers in the ears of the man like a sweet little naive girl,

“Umm, didnt i listen to every word you say without speaking in between?”

“……..”
