Few hours later ..
Jennie got refreshed and was eating some biscuits when Dracula appeared in her room .
"Lucifer , thanks for the ring "
"You can keep it "
"About Sango, I believe you now. Everything you said were true and tho... tho...those.... I .....th....th" Jennie stammered as tears rolled down her face .
"Take this, wipe those tears coming from your eyes "Dracula extended his handkerchief to her , and she wiped her tears .
"Lucifer, since you know this would happen why didn't you try to stop it "
"Cause , you didn't believe me when I told you "
"aah! I almost got raped and this is your reason ?" Jennie asked with anger .She got up and jumped on Dracula, giving him her best punches which were nothing to him .
He stared at her and simply smiled then Jennie stopped . That's the first time she was seeing him smile genuinely. Instantly, he went back to his emotionless facial expression.
"Amaranth , I've told you the reason . There's nothing left to say . If you need anything ring the bell in your room and a maid would be here "
"Please before you disappear , Can you sleep with me ?"
"_____"
"I mean stay here till I fall asleep , I still feel kinda afraid . I don't even know my parents . I just feel lonely "
"So now you're getting used to my presence, Amaranth?"
"Yes I am "
"Aren't you afraid , things might go wrong . I might want to eat those tasty lips of yours and do a lot more "
"I know you won't , please stay with me"
"Amaranth, I showed you a few kind gestures and you trust me already? That's dangerous"
"I.... I.. Don't know why but I just feel protected around you "
"Because the ring I gave you rescued you today ?You're too naive my flower "
"Please just stay with me this night Lucifer"
"Go to sleep , I'll leave when you fall asleep "
"Thanks a lot "She replied and closed her eyes . Few minutes later she was fast asleep .
Dracula removed the strands of hair on her face and placed a kiss on her fore head .
"Amaranth, please don't fall for me . It's more dangerous than you can think . "He said and disappeared from the room .

"My Lord, what do we do about her ?"Collins asked Sango.
"Nothing "
"_____"
"We'll get her when the time is right , for now she'll be heavily guarded by Dracula"
"The fact that Dracula hasn't claimed her is suspicious"
"Perhaps her immortality power isn't hear he needs , I think it's something bigger , something more important. Dracula is the strongest creature at least for now. Any news about the werewolves ?"
"Not yet , but we're working on tracking them down "
"Those weaklings want to get their hands on Amaranth too, once you find them , see to it that they become extinct. I don't need more competitors, Dracula is enough"
"What of Lord Zora, he's a power hungry creature "
"I think Dracula got close to him after that fake Samaritan stunt he pulled . He wouldn't try getting Amaranth. You can leave ".
Collins bowed and left the throne room .

Amaranth woke up the next day to the chirping of the birds and the smile of the son . She rang the bell in her room and some maids came in , and took care of her needs before leaving . She felt like a princess . She decided to take a walk round the mansion bad get used to the new environment she's in .
She got to the pool and decided to soak herself in there for a while . She called a maid to get the clothes she'll change into , then got into the pool . Everything was going well till she felt a hand on her belly. She got frightened and wanted to shout when she heard that masculine voice she's been missing but didn't even know.
"Shhh, Amaranth it's me "
"Yeah , get your hands off me and stay away from me Lucifer "
"Why ? you came to me yourself. I was here when you came "
"I didn't know you're here , I'll take my leave now "
"Not so fast , flower "He said and placed his lips on hers , devouring them .Amaranth tried to push him away, but her body liked what he was doing to her, so she let him do it , and there goes her mind telling her to stop but she simply turned deaf ears to it . His hands started roaming her body and when it got to her mid thigh, she closed them together . Dracula wasn't gonna take that from her so he slowly separated the thighs and his hands went further . Amaranth's heartbeats increased in a matter of seconds which he heard clearly . She's getting nervous . Normally , he could have stopped but his inner self refused to take no for an answer and soon his eyes turned dark and his nails became pointy . He looked at her and all he could see was a delectable meal placed before him . Amaranth noticed the sudden change of aura, colour of his eyes , and knew something was wrong . He wasn't looking at her like she's a human, he's look at her like she was a food?!!!!!!!!! .She pushed him but her strenth were nothing to him .
"No no no no , I won't get into rape the second time "She assured herself as tears were rolling down her eyes . Suddenly she felt pain in her arms and when she looked , she saw his nail's scratched her . She looked at him expecting him to stop but instead the blood seemed to have increase his lust and she knew he was gone !.
"Dracula, please stop . I know this isn't you please "She pleaded but her pleads yielded no good result . Dracula brought her arm close to his mouth to suck her blood and she couldn't hear it any longer .
"Lucifer,!!!!!!!!!!" She shouted and immediately the blood lust aura toned down and his eyes returned to normal . His pointy nails disappeared too .
"I thought you're different from them "She said and got out of the pool while cleaning the tears from her eyes .
Dracula stood there shocked at what happened. This has never happened before , it's only happened when he was with Clara.
Clara was the girl that stole his heart , before she died . She was his mate!. No one can have more than one mate, it's never happened before .
** ** **
"My Lord, how can that happen ?Only Clara has the ability to awaken your inner demon. She's your dead mate , you can't have more than one mate " Loroo said with a curious gaze on Dracula.
"I fabricated that mate story because I wanted to see Armaranth's facial expression when she heard it . I know she's not my mate "
"Yes, I know you were simply playing with her . But your inner demon awakening in her presence is very strange "
"And it's dangerous too, it can cost her life "
"Could it be , because she's the legendary flower? "
"Theres nothing about the flower awakening my inner demon in the scrolls . I have a hunch we know almost nothing about the flower . You need to research "
"I'll get to that now my Lord "Loroo bowed and disappeared.
