The Masked Vampire King's Accidental Bride

Chapter 505: His proposition

"What are you doing here, King Marino?" Elliana made sure to use his new designation.

She didn’t need to turn around to see that it was indeed him who came, and her gaze shifted to Nathaniel, who had a sad smile on his face.

Of course, he was sad. To protect the one person who meant everything to him, he had to go to another man and ask him for this favor.

"How have you been, princess?" Sebastian whispered in a low voice, his voice full of his emotions that he was feeling at the moment.

Happiness that he finally saw her? Frustration that he couldn’t touch her? Relief that she was safe? Discomfort that he had to talk to formally?

"That’s not the answer to my question," Elliana whispered, not wanting to give in to her heart that already wanted to hug him and melt into his arms.

"Can we have a moment alone?" Sebastian asked, and Nathaniel sighed before nodding.

Elliana looked at her friend who was also her half brother in disbelief.

"You have got to be kidding me," she looked at him before shifting her gaze to the lady.

"I am staying here. I can’t entrust my daughter to the man she doesn’t want to be with," Azura said, and Nathaniel sighed.

"Do you want her to be protected from your other sisters who want to take her life?" He asked.

And that was enough to break Azura’s resolution.

Elliana gritted her teeth.

It was obvious, no one was going to stay with her, and she closed her eyes.

She used her teleportation to escape from the room.

"Phew!" Elliana exhaled when she found herself in the first, and was about to walk when she realized something.

Something, or should she say, someone was holding her hands, and she turned around to look at the man.

"I didn’t know you wanted to be alone with me that badly. They were leaving. You didn’t really need to use the teleportation," Sebastian smiled, and Elliana squared her jaws.

She jerked her hand, wanting to free herself from his grip, but he only tightened his hold.

"Why are you doing this to me? Don’t you have a girl to marry?" Elliana spat the last words, and Sebastian sighed before he stepped forward and placed her hand on his chest forcefully.

"Do you think this heart beats for anyone else?" He asked before he placed her hand on his mask.

"What are you -"

"I am showing how much I trust you," Sebastian took off his mask, and Elliana gasped.

"You?" She asked with wide eyes.

Elliana couldn’t believe her eyes for a second. Wasn’t this Tian? Mr. Marino’s friend? Does that mean it was him all along?

"You had won my trust long ago, my princess. This mask is off for the people who I trust and otherwise people are killed. Didn’t I say that? I know I hurt you in the past, but it’s the truth," he cupped her cheeks before placing his forehead on hers.

"I wanted to tell you the truth the moment you saw me. But when you couldn’t recognise me, I wanted to see your reaction for some time. However, you started sharing things with me. Things that I wanted to hear. I loved the way you would come to me and complain about how Tian wasn’t a good friend and jerk my hand away whenever I tried to touch you without my mask. It showed me how much you care for me, just me," Sebastian said.

Elliana kept looking at his face as if printing his image in her heart before she removed her hand from his face and turned around.

"It doesn’t matter anymore. My heart is already broken. Besides, I am a dark witch, something you would never accept,"

"And if you want to sacrifice me in your magic, I am ready. You didn’t give me a chance to explain myself, princess. Yes, I agree that I didn’t answer immediately. It was because I was shocked.

I was shocked by the fact that my heart wasn’t angry at you for being a dark witch and was ready to break all the promises I made to myself just to keep you close. But that’s the truth, my love," Sebastian whispered before he walked in front of her and sat on his knees, placing his head on her abdomen as he hugged her.

"There is no chance of me accepting you because I don’t own that right, my love. You own me. How can I reject you when I belong to you?" Sebastian asked, and Elliana looked down at him, her eyes darkening.

"Don’t try to woo me in your sweet talks, King Marino. I have already divorced you. I don’t go back on my decisions. You are on your own from now. Please go back to your kingdom that you need to rule. You will have a lot of responsibilities now. Go find a new toy to ruin," Elliana scoffed.

"What did you say?" Sebastian’s anger rose as soon as he heard what she said.

"I said what you heard. Go find a new toy to ruin. I am done with your games," Elliana turned around, closing her eyes to control her trembling emotions that want to spill already.

She clearly remembered that Leila said if she needed to get close to her father, she would have to stay away from Sebastian. There was no way she was going to mess that chance.

Her dad. Elliana’s eyes brimmed with tears when she remembered the hope in his eyes as soon as he saw her tear dropping on the floor. It was as if he had been left alone for so long that even the slightest movement made him hopeful that he would be freed from that place that was making him go mad.

Elliana’s hands clenched. There was so much she needed to do.

Nathaniel already told her he won’t be taking her with him, and there was no use forcing him into this. It was better she finds her home in her pain now. She needed to be strong to fight all those witches who were coming for her.

"I think I told you I want to ruin you. You are the only one for me," Sebastian growled, his voice deepening, holding her hand, and pulling her close.

"Yes, you did. And you have done enough. Now I am leaving," Elliana snapped back, looking at him with the same intensity of rage.

She expected Mr. Marino’s ego to get hurt and for him to step back and leave, but to her surprise, he smirked.

"You didn’t get my words, Princess," Sebastian stepped forward before cupping her cheeks, rubbing her bottom lip with his thumb.

He slowly leaned in to whisper in her ears, her quickened breathing, making him want to take her then and there.

"When I say I want to ruin you, I want to bind you to my bed and fill you with my cum till your scent becomes one with me and every fucking person in this world knows who you are... That you are fucking mine!" Sebastian grabbed her throat before slamming her into the wall with his hand behind her in a way that she won’t get hurt.

"Mr -" she couldn’t complete her sentence as he stopped her with his finger on her lips.

Sebastian placed his forehead on hers, breathing heavily as his beast wanted to take over and make love to her, punish her for even mentioning something as sinning as them finding another woman for themselves. His beast wanted to tell her that he was hers as much as she was his.

That their love sees no right and wrong.

"I love you, Elliana. Don’t you get it? It’s fucking hard for me to stay away from you when every inch of my body is in dire need of you, your touch, your smell, your love, your care, just everything that is you," Sebastian gulped, inhaling her scent as if drinking her before he rubbed his nose on her cheeks, making her gasp when his fingers tightened on the side of her waist.

"I am sorry, but I can’t pretend anymore," Sebastian whispered before he stepped away from Elliana, confusing her.

"Hmm?" Elliana asked but she wasn’t left shocked for too long.
