Chapter 335: More Allies
Caddel could still recall how the Queen had dragged Alain by his arm into the secret chamber. He had been skeptical on whether it would be wise to reveal himself or not, refusing to act based on just his nudging emotions, but before he could decide on what motion would work best, the little boy had bit Carmela by her wrist, eliciting a sharp cry from her throat.
"Argh!! Why you little–!!"
The children in the cage had shrunk back due to her painful cry, and that gave Alain’s friends the opportunity they needed to get out of their cage before she noticed.
However, Caddel was momentarily awestruck to see Carmela bleeding from the bite, only for her to release the boy harshly. The little boy’s eyes had switched from brown to the shade of blood, there was nothing humane about it, but what grabbed his curiosity was the blankness in his gaze.
Carmela was already enraged by the boy’s audacity to bite her with his sharp canine, but there was not a glimmer of fear in his crimson eyes.
"I will kill you!!" She nearly screamed in a fit of rage, but before she could put her vile intention into action, something swift had moved past her in a blur, and when she blinked, the little boy was gone. Taken aback by who might have taken him with such unprecedented precision, she turned around in alarm, but what she never saw coming was her hands which were immediately shackled to one of the bigger iron bars behind her, and her pupils dilated when a man who shared the same features with the little boy was looming in front of her.
"You..." her pupils constricted when she noticed the rage in his eyes. Slowly, her attention shifted to the little boy who was standing at a safer distance, his eyes back to the normal Amber-brown shade that everyone was familiar with– except, she knew what she saw, and that boy had turned into a vampire and bit her!
Was it the effects from the blood moon?
Witnessing her turmoil, Caddel immediately thought of his sister and stepped out of his hiding spot to locate her, but the aura in the air had been charged by the vampire whose hand was around Carmela’s neck. He had the intention of choking her till she could no longer breathe, but to his unfortunate, bad-timing, his senses were still conscious of the little children watching, and that was the only thing that saved the witch who dared to threaten his son with death.
