Married To The Mad Vampire Lord novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243: "I’ll be back."

Belle nodded her head at his words. "I didn’t mean to hurt you..."

"I understand that now, my love. You didn’t mean it. But don’t do that again. You’re all I have as a family, and all I need in my life. Don’t push me back into darkness," he murmured, his voice deep and husky as he pressed his lips to her skin, meaning every word he spoke.

She had brightened his days from the moment he met her, and she had shown him a new world the day she returned his heart to him. He had trusted her when he had never trusted anyone before. He didn’t want to be pushed back into that lonely darkness, a place where he existed, but didn’t feel it... a place where he had hunted for something, anything, just to make him feel alive.

She was his family now. He never wanted to turn away from her.

Family sticks together, just like she had always told him. And now, more than ever, he wanted to stick with her. _{fr\(e)ew(e)b.(n)o (v)(e)l.com}

Family...

Rohan held her for a bit longer, and then gently pulled back from the hug when he noticed the sky had begun to brighten, gray light slowly spilling through the high windows.

"Isa, there is something you should know," he told her in a calm voice as he made her look up by gently cupping both her cheeks in his palms.

"What is it?" she asked, feeling relieved that he was no longer angry and that everything was finally clear between them again. Unknown to her that what he was about to say was another nightmare on itself.

He took a deep breath and then exhaled as he said, "We will have to leave you in Bimmerville for some time."

Belle blinked in confusion, as if she had misheard his words, and then asked in a small voice, "What do you mean leave me? Where are you going?"

Rohan gripped both her shoulders gently and told her about the authorities of this land discovering that vampires were here. "Once the day breaks completely, the authorities will be swarming this house for investigation, which is why we have to leave you here. You remember what I once told you, right?"

Belle remembered clearly. He had once told her that if anything were to go wrong, he would have to leave in order to protect her in this land. But never had she imagined the day would truly come, not when they had been so careful.

She felt the first thread of dread curl in her gut, and her heart began to drum faster as she sensed this wasn’t going to end well.

"I don’t want to stay here. I’ll go with you. You—"

"It’s safer for you here than anywhere else in this world," he said firmly, cutting her off. "You are human. If you do exactly as I will instruct you now, everything will be fine, and you will be free of any charges of harboring vampires. No one will lay a hand on you. No, Isa, don’t do this," he whispered, cupping her cheeks again when she began to frantically shake her head in protest at the idea of being left behind in this land.

"No... I don’t want to. I can’t stay here without you," she uttered through trembling lips, tears already filling her hazel eyes and spilling down her ivory, freckled cheeks.

"Yes, you can. I trust you will keep yourself and our son safe. Once the authorities get here, all you have to do is pretend that you did not know us. Tell them your memories are mixed up and that your," Rohan took a deep breath, hating this part of their lies,

"That your husband was killed by us and that we are keeping you against your will and forcing you to hide us in your house. They will believe you, as they know no human in their right sense will marry a vampire willingly. You do not know me or anything about me. Can you do that, my love?"

He looked down at her face with hope and trust, and Belle bit down hard on her bottom lip, torn between what to say.

If she insisted on going with them, she would only slow them down in her condition and risk them getting caught. She didn’t need to be told what had caused this sudden change in plans, because she had a feeling that what she had said to Rohan had encouraged it. Her words must have made him realize that she could live without him, because she had been willing to leave him.
