All Chapters of The Forbidden Love: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"WELL, that's too bad then. Guess it's just me and the four pretty ladies." Alaric said, not even questioning Vincent and I frowned at him."Wait, why-" Before I could say anything more, Alaric started walking and the girls followed him, leaving me behind."Why can't I go?" I snapped out of the blue, ripping away my hand and frowning at him. I didn't mean to sound so rude but come on, I've been looking forward to this. This was the only way for me to get my mind off about last night and plus, now that Draven's not here, maybe there was a chance for me to escape. "Draven's orders. He said to keep you safe and to make sure that you don't get hurt." Vincent responded with a sigh and I scoffed in frustration. "At any cost." He added with a mumble."Now he's worried? I can take care of myself Vincent. Why am I the only one who has to stay and do nothing?" I whined, not really meaning to sound like such a baby."Adriana-""J

"EXCUSE you." I slurred, pointing my finger at Vincent and glaring at him, ready to spill out everything I wanted to say to him, earlier today. "I found the love, for me." I sang, giggling and staring up at the sky and I heard Edward call my name in his sweet tone before an arm slipped around my waist."Music! Where is the music?!" I asked out loud and I heard some of them chuckle before I looked at Ferra who was now looking at me in disgust. "You, what's up with you anyways? Always glaring at me 24/7, you got a problem with me?" I questioned, glaring at her and watched her eyes widen in surprise before she turned away in embarrassment."Go back in and rest, you need to-"A burst of music rose up above the silence and I looked to my right to notice Raymond, standing next to two huge speakers with a grin on his face."Now, there." I said, pointing my finger towards the campfire, where Raymond was supposedly standing. "Right there, is a gentleman." I barely

"I-I do..." I mumbled, lowering my eyelashes on the ground and I heard him mutter something to himself before speaking again."What else do you remember?" He asked softly and I shook my head."That's about it... I don't remember throwing up or any of that." I murmured and Draven went silent for a few minutes before walking up to me. I looked up at him as he grasped my right hand before holding them up and I was about to say something when I noticed the bracelet that was now wrapped around my wrist."This." Draven started, his voice turning all deep and serious. "Who gave this to you?" He asked and my mind went completely blank at his words as I stared at the bracelet in confusion. It was a silver bracelet with a blue topaz stone embedded in the middle of it and I stared at in awe. Where did I get it?"Adriana, answer me." Draven spoke up in a monotonic voice and I snapped my head up to look at him. "Who gave that to you last night?" He demanded this time and

"Draven, why is everyone so scared of him?" I asked and Vincent chuckled softly before reaching into his pockets to pick something."He's not as dangerous as some people assume him to be." He responded, taking out a small injection filled with red liquid a I started at it in surprise. "But that's the kind of image he prefers to have." Vincent said, rolling up his sleeves and I was about to say something when he pierced the needle through his skin, causing me to gasp."What are you doing?" I asked and he simply injected the liquid before pulling the needle away. "Blood." He mumbled with a smile and I stared at him, confusion written all over my face now."This way I won't have to feed on the humans." He said and I gave him a look of doubt. A vampire injecting blood rather than feeding on humans? Get real."How? I thought vampires were strong, how is the needle able to penetrate your skin?" I asked and he grunted softly before giving me a small smil

"I TRIED to be nice to you, I really did, Adriana." He started through gritted teeth, his eyes growing a shade darker and I tried to hold myself together. "I didn't feed you on you or let my brother's force themselves on you. I've let you pull your dumb f- stunts for the past week and tried to be lenient with you but maybe it's about time I stop playing nice." As soon as those last words slipped through his mouth, the tears that I bottled up, rolled down my face and I jerked my hand away, the anger I've been holding in for too long suddenly bursting out. After all, I had nothing to lose, he was probably going to kill me now anyways, And lenient? Was he frikken joking right now?"I don't f- care! I hate it here anyways, so kill me! Kill me and get it over with!" I screamed, taking step forward and pounding on his chest repeatedly. "You plan to kill us all anyways, so why bother waiting around?! And since when were you ever lenient?!" I screamed even louder and was about to hit

TO MY surprise, Draven was still lying on the bed, shirtless, revealing all his strong muscles, not to mention his six-packs. Snap out of it, Adriana. I quickly walked up to his bed and stared at his perfectly still body, his tattooed arm that had wrapped around a pillow. Someone could actually think he looked somewhat innocent from this perspective. His lips were curled in the most innocent way and he looked genuinely peaceful. I was about to call him when I noticed his eyelids suddenly tightening up, his lips curling downwards in displeasure or concern before letting a soft groan."Get... away from her..." He started painfully and I noticed a sweat rolling down from his forehead and along his perfectly structured jawline. "Dex..." He choked out, the color on his face draining away and I couldn't help but reach out to touch his face, hoping he would calm down at my touch. My fingers barely grazed against his skin before he grabbed my wris

"GET LOST." He said, his tone remaining soft and I gave him one last look before walking out of the room, my heart racing ten times faster than it was before. What was that?That night, Draven and I never spoke a word to one another, which relieved me immensely. I'm glad that he didn't bring up the incident which happened this morning. That would be too awkward."So Adriana, are you getting used to living together with us?" I heard Kevin's voice and I answered with a quick nod, an obvious lie but I didn't care."We don't like liars." I heard Daniel say rudely but I ignored his words. The boys and girls kept chattering for a while longer, going on about holding some ball-party or something but I didn't pay any attention to their conversation anymore. Instead, I ate my food and was about to get up when Draven's phone started ringing and we all looked at him as he picked up, motioning us to continue what we were doing."Yes, she is." I heard his voice before he

"IS THERE anything you'd like to eat ma'am?" I heard one of the butlers ask and I shook my head, the smile on my face not fading away for even a second. I watched the butlers bow a little before walking out of the room, leaving me alone and I let out a sigh."They're going to be fine now, everything's going to be fine now." I repeat these words in my head."The Ardelean's are the strongest of their kind, there is no way they're going to lose." I told myself before turning around to face an unfamiliar male, making my heart almost rip out of my chest as I stumbled back with a gasp. "Who-""Hello, Adriana." His voice was awfully familiar and my eyes widened when I realized it was the same guy I had met on the day of the speech event. He was one who told me to use Draven as an escape route. What the h- was he doing here?!"What are you doing here?! And how did you get in here!" I whisper-shouted, glancing around the room, paranoid that somebody could

"NOTHING, I'm talking about Draven." I blurted out the first lie that popped into my head and I saw something flash in his eyes before he turned serious again."You're lying.""I want my bracelet, can you get it from Draven?" I asked, cutting him off and Vincent gave me another look before grabbing my hands and marching through the hallway, dragging me along next to him."Stop, where are you going?" I questioned, my heart pounding loudly against my chest when we came to a sudden halt near Draven

"Stop, what are you doing?!" I snapped tears glistening in my eyes as I pressed my hands firmly against his solid, hard chest and used everything I got to give him a hard push."I warned you." He said awfully calm and I rubbed my lips with the back of my palm furiously, fighting back my tears. "Now, are you ready to tell me the truth?" He asked and the disgusted thoughts about that small kiss immediately faded away as I glanced at Draven who reached into his pockets to take the bracelet again."Who gave this to you?" He asked, emphasizing each word and I started to panic again.
