Third persons POV

Third persons POV.

Dhar was shocked beyond measures after listening to what the parents of the girl he married had just told him.

He thought he knew everything there is to know about her, but apparently, he must have been mistaking.

He had never imagined her to have gone through something like that. She must have been someone strong, to be able to move on like nothing happened, he thought to himself suddenly feeling a little apologetic to her.

He didn't know why her parents told him about it, even though they had never really held a real conversation with him before. However, he surmised that maybe they felt a sense of security after they saw how he treated their daughter while she was sick.

"Dhar," the girl's mother had called him slowly when they entered into their sitting room, and he turned to look at the woman and saw the dark circles that had formed under her beautiful eyes because of all the crying she had been doing for a few days now.

"Yes," he answered shortly and turned to look at his wife, but she didn't wait back, she immediately went up the stairs probably to her room, he thought to himself.

"Come sit here child," the woman said to him and he went to sit down on one of the chairs in the sitting room.

The sitting room was a large open space almost like a grand space for holding a banquet, with a few grand royal designed sofas well placed in the middle of the open space.

The chandelier was in the middle of the room with its light glistening in the whole room like a reflection from diamond studs.

The whole room was so bright that it almost hurt the eyes of Dhar who was overly sensitive to light. He managed to squeeze his eyes a little before he looked at the beautiful woman before him; his wife's mom and waited for her to say what she was about to tell him.

Usually, Dhar would have tried to read the woman's mind as he was not the patient type, but he refrained from doing that to her because he respected the woman so much. Not because she was the mother to his wife, but because he had grown a little soft spot for the woman because of how she had treated him.

He waited for her to speak and when she did his naturally cold body felt like ice. He was completely speechless at what he had just learned.

He couldn't help but start to feel guilty for forcing the girl into marrying him. He didn't know she had gone through something that horrible. So when her mother suggested he helps her to book an appointment with a well-skilled therapist, he didn't hesitate to do it. Even though he knew that wouldn't really help her, but he didn't tell that to her parents.

Dhar excused himself and went upstairs to bade his wife farewell since he was returning back to the Bahamas that same night.

He heard her quiet sob when he started to trail up the stairs, and he felt a little weird at the sound of it. His almost dead heart felt as if it was draining faster than it usually did which was an entirely new feeling to him.

However, he ignored the feeling and knocked gently on her door before going inside. Inside her room was dark just like he likes places to be, and even though the light was on it was a little dim, barely lighting up the whole room.

she must like dark places, well good for her because that means she wouldn't have a problem living in his house, he thought to himself.

When Dhar entered the room he saw that she had already dried her face, but he could tell she had just been crying not quite long ago.

Glamour; his wife, looked up to see that it was her husband, and then a frown settled upon her face.

"What gave him the right to come up here," Glamour's inner voice said but it was heard by her husband, which was completely unknown to her.

Dhar could now hear her inner voice without even trying to get in her head. However, he ignored the voice and told her what he had come up for.

"I'm going back to the Bahamas, this night, and I might stay for about three to five days before coming back, I'll come to get you on the day I'll return," He had told her, but she ignored him, she didn't care if he goes and never come back.

So even after he had told her he came to bid her farewell, she didn't say anything to him, she had even wished he never comes back at least then she would be free from his evil clutches.

Dhar left her and went directly to the airport, and board his private jet. He reached for the crimson stuff that was set on the plane tray and poured it into the glass cup, before bringing it to his lips.

He loathed the smell of that fucking drink, but he had no choice but to take it, so he treated it like he was taking daily vitamins.

Dhar hadn't eaten a proper meal for weeks now, even though his nature doesn't really require him to eat, he still ate every once in a while.

After chugging down the whole content of his glass he sets the glass down before relaxing into the seat as the plane was about to take off.

His mind was busy calculating how he was going to handle the situation at hand as he remembered the phone call he had just received a couple of minutes ago before he boarded the plane.

His phone had been vibrating in his pocket while he drove to the airport, so he picked it up and put it in loudspeaker mode.

"Sire, Larry is dead," the person on the other end of the phone said immediately after he received the call.

"Shit, how comes," He asked in a calm voice like he was completely not bothered by the news he just received.

"We were after the Lycans, they had been threatening to take over the city even after the treaty they signed. We were completely caught off guard, and larry got bitten in the process," the guy tried to explain.

Dhar was furious, his face becoming hard in an instant. He loathed when things were carried out without proper planning which was why he was trying to set up a leader for the vampire community over there because they act like stray kids without a leader.

The Lycans aren't usually stronger than the vampires, but their bite is completely toxic to them and they always felt like they were superior just because they own a leader.

Dhar had been the one to sign a treaty with the Lycan leader who promised to coexist peacefully with the vampires over there even though they claim that the city originally belongs to them.

Dhar knew it wasn't entirely true because vampires had been in existence since the beginning of time, whilst lycanthropes have only come into existence a couple of 100s of years ago.

However, he didn't want to add to his list of foes, so he decided to just let them off the hook, but after listening to Derek; the guy on the other end of the phone he instantly felt to hell with the treaty, they had crossed the line too far this time.

"I'll be there in 7," Dhar told the guy calmly even though he felt nothing close to that.

Dhar has a talent for remaining calm even if he's seething with fury, and that attribute of his was what made him appear intimidating to people around him, and even his enemies feared him because of that.

Larry; the guy who had been killed was like a son to Dhar, he was turned into a vampire only a few years ago.

The memories of how he met larry came playing into his head, and his eyes turned dark.

It was the year 1997 when the world looked to be the most peaceful place it could be, but Dhar doesn't find it peaceful at all, nothing about his existence had ever been peaceful.

He had gone into the mountains in the eastern part of China, to stay secluded and awaited that time of the month that he despised with the whole of his being, the time he had to undergo his punishment for what he was even though he never asked for it.

He had gone there to stop himself from feeding, to fight the urge to feed, and it had been working for a few days until he heard the voices of a few guys who also came into the mountains, disrupting his peace.

He had started to hear their voice since they were about 30km away from him, and the voices continued to grow louder as they advanced into the mountains.

The voice that was the loudest amongst all the voices had belonged to a tall lanky boy, who looked to be in his early 20s as he tried to tell silly jokes to his friends who kept on laughing loudly.

Dhar was pissed off by their noise that he almost loosed the self-control he had learned over the cause of 200 years.

Dhar laid inside a cave on a cold rock his body as pale as a dead person's own, because he wouldn't feed. He usually avoided humans at these times, because he would tear their heads from their necks if he were to find them.

Larry and his friends were a bunch of college students who had come for research purposes into the mountain, the mountain of Ula, they were going to document everything about what they found in the mountains.

So when they came closer to the cave where Dhar laid, Larry was the first to ask them to go in.

"It would be a great point for the whole project," Larry said trying to convince the other college students but they weren't having it.

"Oh, yeah, why don't you go in and document it yourself am sure you will be getting a good 'A'" A guy dressed in baggy jeans and a leather jacket taunted Larry and the rest bursts into fits of laughter and they all left, leaving Larry all alone.

Dhar who laid on the rock inside the cave had already gotten up and was standing just at the mouth of the cave watching all the college students from where he stood.

Larry felt a little sad, he thought being bullied was only until high school, he didn't know he would still be bullied by his college friends.

Larry was a tall lanky guy who wears baggy clothes all the time and also wears a glass making him appear like a nerd.

His fist hardened as he watched them all walk away still laughing at him, and then he decides to walk into the cave and prove them all wrong...
