Chapter 10 - RETROSPECTION

(Y/N) - your name

His left hand cradled your back while his right hand supported your legs. It was incredibly endearing. 🥰 The moonlight illuminated your path as a gentle breeze accompanied you on your way to his house. You peacefully slept, nestled against his warm chest, dreaming about your family, your problems, Mika, and yourself. Could it be that you are developing feelings for him?

Why did he go to the part of the "house" where Krul and Ferid were instead of going to his room when you arrived?

The sound of Mika's footsteps could be heard as he approached Krul and Ferid.

"Here i am," Mika said coldly. Krul was sitting on her chair and asked nonchalantly, "What took you so long, Mika?" Ferid, with a strange tone, chimed in, "Yaa Mika, what kept you for so long?!" Mika replied, lying, "There was nothing that kept me for so long. I have no idea what you're talking about." Krul responded, uninterested, "Yeah, whatever."

"I'm going to bring her to my room," Mika stated.

"Okay," both Tepes and Ferid responded.

He escorted you to his bedroom and carefully laid you on his bed. You slightly opened your eyes, but not completely.

You mumbled, "Wh-what," as Mika began to change into his sleepwear. Thinking he heard something, he turned around and noticed that you were partially awake.

"You're awake," he remarked while he continued to change his clothes.

"You asked him, confused, 'Where am I?'"

"I brought you here because I noticed that you were cold and shivering, so I brought you here," he replied.

You glanced at his physique - his chest, his muscles, and then his head. Seeing Mika was unexpected! With your eyes wide open, you sat up slightly and attempted to say something. However, due to your confusion, you found yourself unable to speak or act.

"Wha-... How-... You- WHAT!?" You exclaimed loudly.

"Shh! Please be quiet!" Mika cautioned you.

"Why?!" You asked, still speaking a bit loudly.

"This is my residence, but I am currently residing with Queen Krul, Ferid, and some additional soldiers," Mika explained.

"I... I... I..." You were mesmerized by his dazzling eyes, which gleamed in the moonlight.

"I... umm... I also informed Krul and Ferid that I intended to bring you here so that I could feed on your blood whenever I wanted, just to make them believe me. However, I didn't actually plan to do that! You can stay here... I mean, I made a lot of mistakes, so now I want to make it up to you and do something nice for you. Is that alright?"

You were extremely perplexed to the point where you couldn't articulate your thoughts on the matter. Simply gazing into his eyes unsettled you slightly, prompting you to avert your gaze towards the window and contemplate the Moon. Sensing your lack of agreement, he expressed his apologies and embraced you.

"I'm sorry!" he said, regretting all he had done to hurt you.

"For how long?" you inquired.

"For how long what?"

"How long will I be here? For how long?"

"Until you recover. I insist!" He assured.

Following that conversation, you simply nodded and requested his plan for informing you, to which he complied.

It was a rather straightforward plan.

1. He will bite you only when necessary, but he will also try to make the bite as painless as possible.

2. He will take care of you.

3. Then, once you have recovered, you will be able to escape.

That was his plan.

...

It has been a few days since you arrived there. He provided you with food, drinks, and everything you requested and needed. You began to relax and started to recover, which felt good. He hadn't bitten you until that night. He felt intense hunger and thirst, reaching a point where he couldn't endure it any longer. While in the midst of you reading a book and he changing his T-shirt, he approached you and requested if he could drink your blood. Exhaling deeply, you nodded in agreement, saying "Okay". In a trembling voice filled with hunger, he gratefully responded, "Th-thank you!" You extended your right hand towards him and instructed him to "drink."

He obliged, trying to make the experience as painless as possible.

As he drank blood, you shifted your gaze towards the window and the Moon, pondering, "Why is this happening to me? What could be the reason?"

A few days passed, you were having a conversation with him in his bedroom when suddenly he abruptly jumped up from his chair, sensing someone he recognized. He quickly looked out the window and shouted to you, "Get ready!" Confused, you asked him, "What's happening?" He replied nervously, "It's Ferid!" You knew exactly what that meant - it meant that he was going to drink your blood for the first time. Damn, you were terrified.
