Marking

A moan escaped through Ying Yue's lips as the rich flavor of the blood entered her mouth. It was the most delicious blood that she had ever tasted in either of her lives.

In the fifteen hundred years of her Vampire life, she had tasted enough types of blood that she could no longer find one which would leave her spellbound.

In all these years, the only person who had been able to make her lose control for just a little taste of his blood was Silver.

But the fear of losing him and herself forever, kept her in control whenever the intoxicating smell of his warm blood pulled on the strings of her control.

However, she finally lost her control in this cave, and that too because of a stranger.

But after tasting the rich flavor of his blood she was beyond the point of caring or thinking straight at that moment.

His delicious blood entered her system and filled her with immense pleasure and energy. Her obsidian eyes started glowing dark red as her powers surged and her soul danced in the epiphany.

Her teeth sank deeper into the smooth skin of the man's neck which made him groan out in pain which was mixed with pleasure.

His hands tightened around her waist as he could not help but want to feel closer to her as much as possible.

His soul was filled with sudden and unexplainable happiness and contentment. He could not understand exactly what was happening but his body and soul were more than happy with his current situation.

"W-what are you doing?"

He finally succeeded in voicing the question as he tried to not moan pathetically because of the tingles of pleasure that were flooding through his entire body.

His question was like a bucket of cold water which immediately pulled Ying Yue out of the world of pleasure.

She pulled away from the man and stared at him in shock covering her expression.

Her eyes returned to look at his nape where the evidence of what just happened was staring back at her, making her realize the depth of what she had just done.

The red bite marks turned into a bright light before it started seeping inside his skin and started sketching a mark that was going to change both of their fate.

She watched in complete horror and shock as, within a few minutes, a beautiful design of an ivy was visible just above his right chest.

She recognized that mark. It was exactly similar to the one that was printed on her left shoulder blade and Silver's left biceps.

A gasp left her lips as the realization dawned over her.

"How can this be.....? It's.....Oh my God!"

She felt her breathing quickening as her soul immediately started feeling the pull of the soulbond that she had ended up creating between the two of them.

It was not intentional. She did not plan to do it, and she had no idea why did it happen.

Maybe it was because their souls were fully compatible, or maybe it was because her soul was suffering because of the lack of a mate or mates.

Nonetheless, it happened. And it happened in the worse way possible.

She did not know this man. They had never met before this. And there's no guarantee that they would be meeting again.

She felt her heart getting heavy as the weight of her mistake dawned over her.

Her eyes once again landed on the yellow ivy and that color made her feel a little better. At least, she had not destroyed his life completely.

The man tried to move towards her with eyes filling with coldness, but staggered on his feet a little as his body was still recovering from the attack of the weird woman.

"How did you dare to touch me? How dare you to treat me like your food?"

The man growled as his cold angry eyes glared at her, making Ying Yue immediately jump out of the stream.

"Listen! I was just hungry and there was nothing else to eat. So don't mind too much. Okay?"

The growl that she received in return immediately made her realize that her words were probably not the right ones.

So, she tried again.

"It's really not a big deal. Look! No one was here to witness it! In short, no harm is done, right?"

She was slowly walking away from the man to put as much distance between them as possible.

She could tell that he was recovering from the spell that the marking had put over him, and just because his soul was now connected with hers to some level did not mean that he could not hurt her.

The man kept his cold eyes trained on her as he called on his spiritual energy to quickly heal his body.

How could the Vampire lady not feel the murderous aura that was surrounding her?

"Oh, God! You can't really be thinking about killing me, are you? Wait! You are, right?"

She did not need him to answer because it was clear from his ice-cold eyes that he was planning exactly what she feared.

There's no way she would be dying so early, again!

She started pulling her dress up to make enough room for her legs to move at their full speed without any obstacle.

"Listen! Give me five minutes. Just five minutes, and I'll disappear from here. Only five minutes. Don't come out!"

And just like that, the lady, who was supposed to become the future Empress of the Hyuang Empire, ran out of the cave with a cloth bag hanging across her shoulders and her hands clutching her dress.

The man was left shocked as he watched her behaving so unladylike. Wasn't she ashamed of her attitude?

First, she pounced on a half-naked man, taking him as her meal, and then she dared to show her legs like that!

He did not chase after her. He did not need to. He's letting her enjoy a little time of peace before he would personally take care of her.
