Chapter 58: Power to control anyone
"I don’t understand Prince Izaak," Alora said and turned to face him. "During the day, he and I became friends. However, now, Prince Izaak is only scaring me. Does he hate me this much? He can say it on my face," she opined.
Izaak didn’t anticipate such a kind of response from her. Not to mention, Alora seemed unbothered by what he shared with her about Magnus.
"I don’t hate you, Alora," Izaak stated. "I didn’t lie anything to you till now. Whatever I told you so far was truth," he affirmed.
"Hmm. I trust Brother Izaak," Alora confessed truthfully. "I did offer my blood to my husband, but he doesn’t wish to drink from me," she revealed, her concern for Magnus lingering internally. However, she knew expressing it to Izaak wouldn’t yield any positive outcome.
"Good night, Brother Izaak. I’m feeling sleepy," she concluded their conversation on a positive note, then called for Selvina.
Selvina returned to the living room and escorted Alora to her chamber. Alora thanked her and insisted she also get some rest. "I’ll see you in the morning," Alora said kindly.
Selvina bowed and left, closing the doors behind her.
Alora removed the blindfold from her eyes and let out a sigh. "Will Prince Magnus really kill humans tonight?" she wondered, recalling how humans seemed more frightened of Magnus than the other royal vampires.
"But it’s not his fault. Magnus needs blood, and that’s why he’s gone out," Alora reassured herself as she sat near the foot of the bed. Leaning her head against the bedpost, she waited anxiously for Magnus.
