Loved By a Vampire King

** This is the second chapter from yesterday's update. You will see today's update again at regular time **

Meanwhile on the brink of Wood Forest, a tense atmosphere was reigning between them. Thristan barked those words right on Silas's face. His eyes challenged him in every second. When Thirstan saw the vulnerability, pain of reflection on Silas's expression, his inner peace howled in joy. He believed that he hit at the right place of Silas's wound.

After all, who could forget the killing of his lover with his own bare hands?

Thristan continued his emotional torture, sneering at Silas repeatedly,

" Shame on you, Silas! At least, you loved her for once in this lifetime. How could you break apart a mother from her child? Even the thought of killing her is making me distaste on you."

Silas clenched his fists aside. His neck cranked back to forth to form something from his muscles in rage but he was holding back, using his last bit of his strength. His breathing had turned heavy and frequent as the killing anger was running through his veins wildly.

But Thirstan didn't stop at his words. Instead he was feeling more contended to watch him hurting and scoffed taking a glimpse of Tiara,

" Do you think that Tiara will love you just because you raised her? Never! She will only hate you more after learning that you have killed her mother."

Mentioning Tiara in this topic was the biggest mistake that Thristan made at that moment. Hence it took only few seconds to Silas to loose control from his temper. An animalistic growl escaped through his lips. Before Thristan had the chance of noticing his next move, Silas's claws came out swiftly.

With a bone shivering roaring escaping through his lips, his one hand reached down to grip Thristan's knee. Just a single pull, his knee came out of its flesh and was blazing in Silas's palm.

Mournful cries echoed throughout the cold air of Wood Forest along with the baby crying loudly. Tiara was still in Thristan's arms when he was hurt and cried harder after getting frightened by their groans.

Silas's claw gripped around Thirstan's throat painfully. His eyes changed from jade green to dark yellow as he spoke to his face in a deep voice,

" It's not a wise move to encite a mad duke. Don't you know, Thristan? Glad that you have this child with you or else It would have taken only few seconds for me to end your little life."

Meantime, Isabella didn't had to fly longer in search of them. Though her dragon wings flew for a while, she was feeling a slight ache on her back due to her lack of practicing. At one point of her life, she nearly forgot that she had wings as a part of her body.

As soon as she began to fly over the sky of Wood Forest, Tiara's crying voice reached into her eardrums. Her heart wrenched in pain and she solemnly hoped that nothing had gone wrong with the baby. Thus she landed down, following the source of that crying voice.

It was much quicker to find them within a few moments. But as soon as her eyes zoomed the place, Silas's palms shocked her sight. From the blessing of her sharp eyes, she could guess that he was holding a pulsating flesh.

A shocked gasp passed through her lips. Flipping her wide wings twice, she proceeded to land down, dropping her weight right behind Silas who was going to take Thristan's life within a minute.

" Duke Silas! STOP IT!!", Isabella's sudden voice startled Silas who didn't expect her to follow him. As he whipped his head back, dissapointment was plastered all over his expression.

He questioned back without taking back his claws,

" What are you doing here, Princess Isabella?"

Isabella ignored his voice and without fearing of his ferocious eyes, she ran over to Thristan, squatting down to take back Tiara who was wailing. Even during the immense pain from his hurt, Thristan refused to give Tiara back and held her closer to his chest. Isabella assured extending her arms to take the baby,

" She is safe with me. You can give her to me. I am afraid that you can't hold her longer."

Thristan glanced up at her in confusion. She was gentle, soft just exact opposite of Silas whose eyes were narrowing deeper and darker. Looking down at his knee which was bleeding profusely, Thristan handed her baby, Tiara.

Isabella hugged the baby softly. A warm feeling spreaded through her heart when she looked down at Tiara who was turning much calmer than before. Thristan was surprised by her kind gesture and couldn't help but staring at Isabella blankly.

Silas's enraged tone broke the peaceful moment who was gawking at Thristan with killing intent,

" Stay back here, Princess. This man needs to be killed now. I don't want to take his life in front of Tiara. Take her back with you!"

Isabella hussed the baby and stood up, reminding of Leora's words who begged her to save Tiara's father. Isabella walked over to shield Thristan from his murderous glare and retorted back,

" I am sorry but I can't let you kill him. Have you thought about Tiara? Do you really want her to be an orphan?"

Silas sneered back, peeking behind Isabella to glare at Thristan murderously,

" What do you know about this man! Do you have any idea that what can he do this baby? He is just a devil under that innocent face. You don't know anything!"

" All I know that he is Tiara's father.", came the instant response from Isabella who was cooing the baby softly. She continued exhaling through her parted lips,

" I have lived my entire life without a father, Duke Silas. I just don't want this to be left alone in this world. Besides we have already taken her back. What is the reason of killing this man?"

Silas shook his head immediately, refusing to let go of Thristan as he knew that he would be coming back to steal Tiara again,

" No, Isabella! I can't take this risk anymore. This is the second time that he had tried to take Tiara away from me. I can't let him go."

Isabella saw the stubbornness, determination in his eyes. Having no choice but to act bold, she hugged the baby closer to her embrace and stepped forward before challenging Silas,

" Then you have to get pass off me to kill the man."
