Chapter 443 Selfish For Happiness

   "But I care. How do you want me or expect me to feel around you? Your people will see me as a traitor. What happens to the lady that has been chosen for you?  Have you ever thought about all these things, have you thought if I like you? There are some things you put into consideration when you are making a decision in your life: number one; how will it affect the people around you. Number two; are you hurting anyone with your decision? Number three; will you be at peace with yourself for doing that? Theophilus, I shouldn't be here at the first place"

   I said. I was hurting deep down within me. I just wanted to watch him get married, that's why I requested to come to his marriage ritual like he has put it

   If there is Something I learnt about life, don't expect anything. When I started growing feelings for Theophilus, I did not picture myself in his future because I know who he is, that we don't belong together. I had to keep my feelings in check.

  Theophilus lifted his stare and let it rest on my face. He caressed my chin and smirked.

   "I did think about everything thoroughly. I have been doing that for the past 19 years of my life. Sometimes you have to be selfish for your happiness. If I do what everyone wants me to do, I am not going to be a happy Lord. I might unleash my anger and do what I don't want and that's what I am preventing by making you mine. Gracie, I don't know but whether you like it or not, you mine already"

  He said and sniffed the side of my neck and I got this indescribable feeling at the pit of my stomach. I closed my eyes trying to understand what I was feeling when I felt something sting my neck, his fangs were diving into my neck . He did not give me warning for me to be prepared for the pain that followed immediately. I shivered and closed my legs tight. Last time he drank my blood, it was less painful compared to now. This one was unbearable. I did not know I was crying until some of my tears dropped on his shoulders and like a flash, the pain got replaced with something pleasant. I was trying to search for the word but I couldn't so I gave up on it.

   Theophilus pulled away from my neck looking sorry, some of the remains of my blood was on his lips

  "I did not mean to make you cry. It's like my fangs had their own mind. Are you hurt?"

  I smiled and shook my head negatively.

"I actually like it, can you drink my blood again. I want experience I what I felt before"

  I was craving for something I did not know. Whatever that was happening between us I felt it's right, like we belong together. The mindset I had before was gone. I was throwing caution to the wind.

Theophilus's point of view…..

I stared at her. I was not surprised from what I was hearing. The effect of the ring on her finger and my fang did the magic. She would have still resisted me if she was not wearing the ring.

  I am sorry I had to use the power of the ring against her. It was the only way for her to be under me. I don't know why I am compelling her. I hope that when she recovers and finds out what I have done she will not hate me.

   Even if she hates me, there is nothing she is going to do about it. The deed will be done by then.

  "At your service princess"

I smiled and sank back my fangs on her neck. I had enough and pulled away. She was smiling. Her green eyes were mesmerizing and I was drawing into them like magnet pull iron.

   "Can I show you something else?"

She nodded her head. She is so obedient. As much as I don't like it when she is under the influence of a spell, I would not want her to come out from it until I am done marking mine. I have done the first marking by drinking her blood, the last one will be to make love to her. It was supposed to be by midnight but I can't wait any longer. It's now or never.

  "I am sorry Gracie, I am doing this when you are not in your right frame of mind. Please don't hate me later, alright?"

I pleaded in my mind and she nodded as if she heard me or maybe she did. There is nothing a Bond spell will not make you do.
