Chapter-6: Those Emotions

Aaron's POV:

She was so angry with me. How was I supposed to change her heart? She was beyond furious. I knew that I was not answering her questions and this was pissing her off but I had no choice. This was not the right time to tell her.

"Huh? Are you dumb or what? You have kidnapped me and my sister? Now you want me to stay here for some shit reason, which you are not even telling me." She said, glaring daggers at me.

How dare she talk about our mate bond like that? My love is not some shit. How can she say such a thing? My rage suddenly hit me and I lost my cool. I didn't realize when I yelled at her.

"This is not some shit reason," I said enraged as I grabbed her arm eagerly.

"You are supposed to be here! You are meant to be here, with me!"

At that moment, her face went blank and her eyelids fell shut. She began to fall backward. I caught her before she could hit the floor.

My heart chilled at the sight of her. I shrugged her gently as I called out her name, but she wasn't responding. By now I was panicked enough to turn the whole palace upside down. Why isn't she responding?

The air was sucked out of my lungs. I carried her bridal style meanwhile, calling out for guards. As soon as a guard appeared, I ordered him to contact the doctor. I rushed to take her to my room.

I laid her on my bed when the doctor finally arrived. After some time when the doctor examined her, he looked at me with a reassuring smile on his face.

"There is nothing to worry about. She was knocked out because of weakness. I suppose that she hasn't been fed for a long time."

Hasn't fed for a long time? I was already anxious enough about her starving herself when the doctor added further. "Also...", the doctor paused, hesitant, but then continued. "There is a wound behind her head. I have treated it, so you don't have to worry."

At the mention of the wound, I snapped my head towards the guard, who was with me last night. His expression was changed into fear and anxiety. However, he didn't try to keep his mouth shut or it would have been an ugly situation for him.

"S-sorry, Prince Aaron! B-but we had to knock her out to get her sister."

Rage crept in my veins and in no time a punch landed on his face. He was thrown feet away and lost consciousness as he collided with the wall behind him.

How dare he hurt my mate?!

Suddenly two guards came running into the room and grabbed him.

"Throw that bastard in the dungeon!" Soon he was dragged out of the room.

When I looked back at my dear mate, I was met with the mesmerizing pair of blue eyes. She had woke up.

Alice's POV:

I was feeling light-headed and my eyes were feeling heavy. A voice could be heard by my ears.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the vampire leader standing there with one of his guards. Indeed the one who had knocked me out last night. The vampire leader was standing near the bed, his back facing me. The face of the guard was full of fear.

What are they talking about?

The guard spoke hesitantly, fear evident in his voice. "S-sorry, Prince Aaron! B-but we had to knock her out to get her sister."

My eyes went wide in shock when his words registered in my mind. Prince? Huh?! So the handsome vampire leader is a Prince and his name is 'Aaron'. Nice name--! Stop it already, Alice! He kidnapped you!

While I was registering this, a loud thud was heard and the next moment I saw the guard lying on the floor. Then two guards came in running and grabbed the unconscious guard from the floor.

"Throw that bastard in dungeons!" The Prince said in a booming voice. The guards didn't waste another second and dragged him out of the room immediately.

What has made him so mad? Is he mad because his guard knocked me out? Suddenly, his gaze dropped at me and concern was dripping from his eyes.

Is he worried for me? I hadn't even blinked and he was standing by my side.

He bent down at my level and placed his hand gently on my head.

"Are you feeling okay?" Concern was evident in his voice.

What the....? Isn't he supposed to be my kidnapper? Then why is he so concerned for me? My eyes locked with his gorgeous ones as if my soul had been trapped in them.

For the first time, I observed how gorgeous his face was. Pale white color, but the complexion had suited his handsome face, black messy hair, and perfect thin lips. I hadn't realized that I was checking him out in that situation. But it seemed that he realized. He stepped back and wore his cold expression back.

"Tonight you will just stay in my room. Tomorrow your room will be shown to you." With that he walked out of the room, leaving me in my mess of thoughts.

What were those emotions in his eyes?
