"I never should have trusted you." she just whispered those words, but the laugh from the man on the throne prove that he heard it.
"That, little human, was your mistake." he simply replied. He then turned to the man at his side, the man who betrayed her, "Xavier, why she smells like this?" he questioned.
"I don't know. After I marked her, her scent became stronger."
The man on the throne hummed, looking at her with interest.
She glared at him. Amusement is clear within his eyes as he keeps staring at her.
"Hmm, feisty little one, aren't you?" he rubbed his chin with his finger, "Maybe I could take you in my little group, right?"
His smile became sinister as his dark eyes glinted, looking at her as if he want to devour her right there.
"Uncle!" the all-too-familiar face interrupted. "I want her."
The corner of the 'uncle' lips slowly tilted upwards as he looks at his niece, "Of course. Since you have marked her, right?"
People in the room quitely laugh among them, looking at Xavier with ridicule in their eyes.
Xavier still keep calm, looking at the floor the entire time. But she can see his jaw sets.
"My lord, I want him." a feminine voice blurted out, voicing her request.
A woman in mid twenties pointed at Daniel as excitement coloured her face. Her sexy orange dress do little to cover up her treasure, but she looks all too comfortable in it.
Daniella look down, and only then she realised a boy kneeled beside the woman. He barely dressed as only a piece of cloth covering his sex. He looks malnourished, and there's a jewel covered silver collar around his neck as he quitely sit there as if it's the most normal thing in the world.
What is he? A pet?
Something dawned to her, as she stares at the woman who said she wanted her brother. Her guess proved right when she saw the woman's eyes flashed crimson as she looks hungrily at Daniel.
Vampire.
But, what a werewolf do with a bunch of vampires? And, uncle?
"I won't go anywhere," she suddenly declared, "without my brother." her voice is stern, cold and can easily send shiver down people's spine.
But the people—. No, the creature in front of her is not the normal people. They are vampire, a bloodsucking creature, and their power is something more powerful than mere human like her.
Thus, they did not waver hearing the coldness in her voice.
The Lord on the throne looks at her, clearly enjoying this little drama.
"Brave," he praised, "but foolish." he stands up from his throne, stepping down the small stairs gracefully, and walking slowly to her.
He stood in front of her and proceeds to bend his body to grip her chin. The strength that he put in his grip make her winced, but her eyes did not waver even the slightest.
He moves her chin to the side, inspected her.
"Nathan sure have a lovely daughter." he smirked.
He then get up, straighten his body. "You can have her in your possession. She sure in unique. However," he looks at Xavier, "he will be hers." he looks at the sexy woman in orange.
The woman grinned, clearly satisfied with the result.
Daniella shuddered with the thought of what she will do to Daniel if she gets her hands on him. Just looking at her wild and hungry eyes, the thought of that creepy woman having him did not set right in her.
She feels desperate to keep her brother within her sight.
"He will go with me." she pressured.
The Lord gripped her jaw hard, pissed with her stubborn attitude. "This is not your world anymore, human. In here, you are just a slave in our eyes." he released his grip before lift his leg and stomped on her head. "Bow down."
The humiliation bring Daniel up as he rushed to his sister. But before he could move another inch, something blurred in front of him in an inhuman speed, before a hand came to his face, hard.
"Down." the woman from earlier ordered, pushed his body down harshly with her inhuman strength.
Daniel gritted his teeth, mad at himself for being totally helpless in this kind of situation. He then glared at Xavier, the one who just watch his mate was treated like a dog in front of him.
"Uncle, I'll take her with me." he calmly voiced out, came beside his uncle.
Ridicule clear in his eyes, "Of course, Xavier. Take her."
He then lift his feet from her head and smooth and gracefully stepped out of the magnificent room. Other vampires in there followed suit.
She keeps her head down. How her life is changing right now. Just last night, they were just enjoying their night as top assassin around the world. But today, they are truly hopeless against the supernatural creature.
She feels like just yesterday she reincarnated in this body, trying to grasp the picture.
Xavier.
A surge of complicated feelings crashed against her heart, as she thinks about Xavier.
Among anyone, she should be the person who understands the most the concept of betrayal as she wasted her past life trusting her cunning sisters.
She should have known she could not trust any outsiders, sometimes even blood-related people killed each other.
Her eyes harden.
She vows from today onwards, she will harden her heart, keeping it locked from intruder.But now, what's the use of regret?
"Take her to my room." Xavier ordered the two men outside swiftly, as he walked away into a hallway, his back disappearing at a corner.
Now, how should she facing this?
