35

Author’s P. O. V.
They did not stop at all; the sessions went on for hours and even in the shower, they could not take their hands off each other; it was like something was trying to bind them together. Real close.
“So now we need to talk,” Zia said as she created an arm’s length distance between them.
“As much as I want to have your lips pressed against mine, yeah we need to,” Tyler said as he rolled his sleeves a little.
Zia gulped; why does he need to be too damn attractive doing that?
*cough* *cough*
Tyler faked a cough as she blushed, he found her daydreaming about her own boyfriend.
“So I am the Vampire king and I have the resistance stone and I am 154 years old,” Tyler said as Zia nodded.
“How did you become a Vampire?” She asked as he looked away.
“I am not really proud of what I was when I was a human, I wanted to kill myself from all the abuse I was used to getting, my parents were abusive,” a gasp escaped her lips as she looked at me in shock. I know it is hard for her to take in, who in the world would have thought of the present Vampire king being an abused kid?
“Tyler,” She slowly whispered his name before she walked over to his; sitting on his lap; she kept her head on his shoulder.
“It was not your fault,” Every abused person; literally, each one of them, be it emotional abuse or physical, tends to think all of what happened was their fault somehow and they deserved it.
Zia did not want him to feel that way hell she wanted to take away all the pain from him. Her presence alone was calming him in more than ways he could even think of.
“All that is passed, it’s the past,” She rubbed his back but it felt like she was telling all this to herself.
“It is fine, I am okay,” He said as he kissed her forehead; she gave him a small smile as he continued to speak; “I was in the hospital after another abuse, real risked on the ventilator and everything,” Tyler looked at her face for a second; the pain that swam in her eyes, he felt the need to stop, the painful memories were hurting him but it was hurting his beloved even more.
“Then I do not know how when I woke up, I had all the powers, the strength, and then in the medical reports, my heart was not beating anymore,” to say Zia was terrified to know the things he went through, was an understatement.
“Then a guy came to me and boom my life changed, it was the present vampire king,” Zia’s jaw hung somewhere on the ground as she looked at him.
He chuckled, “It was the uncle that stayed near my house,” he said.
“Wow, so the vampire who made you a vampire was your neighbor, cool,” Her reactions were seriously priceless to him. He could not wrap his head around the fact the girl who was a terrified moment ago was now taking full interest in his story.
“Yeah, maybe because he had seen me being abused, he gave me the resistance stone, and then there was no turning back, I became the Vampire king,” He finished his story as Zia kissed his cheek.
“I am proud of you,” He smiled at her as she smiled back; never have ever anyone said that to him.
“Then I got to know about vampires having a beloved, I waited for mine for a hundred years but…” how could he tell her that he slept with a number of women when she was in the world, born only for him?
“You believed there was no one for you, did you not?” she completed his sentence as he nodded.
“Zia…” Tyler tried to say something but she did not even look at him.
“It was my past, you are my present baby,” He said as she just glared at him.
“Don’t baby me…You men are the same,”
Thaph
He was slapped right across his face.
Tyler kept his hand on his cheek when he felt a tap on his shoulder, “what happened?” She asked
“Nothing,” He shook his head with a small smile.
“You know, I am not mad, seriously I am not mad at you, if I were in your place and after waiting for a hundred years, I would have given up the hope to have a beloved too…I don’t blame you to have experience sleeping with other women,” She said as he looked at her shocked.
Normally any other girl in her place would have slapped him right across his face but this was Zia we are talking about.
“I am glad you understand me so well,” He said keeping his hand on her waist; he just could not stop himself from touching her; he was so addicted and she was just too soft.
“So, it was not you who saved me that day huh?” She asked.
He nodded, “It was someone, I was following you, I was about to grab you when you disappeared and then I found you with that man, I had to give my card to him to get you back but man as soon as I saw you, I knew you were my beloved,” Tyler explained as Zia looked at him. There was a hint of anger in her eyes.
“So literally I was sold to you, or I may say you bought me from that man,” Zia said as Tyler sighed.
“Technically that makes sense but you need to listen to me,” He said as she narrowed her eyes at him.
“Speak,” Her aura was scary believe it or not.
“He could have harmed you, he had injected you with something, anything could have happened and how can I let it be true when I know you are the one I waited centuries for,” Tyler explained himself as he looked at him.
He had his selfish reasons and besides at that time, everything was just too complicated.
“Okay,” She whispered; her anger was gone in seconds as she understood his dilemma.
“Now it’s your turn, Zia,” She bite her lip as she looked at him; she was not sure if she was ready to tell him the truth of her life and why she was to steal the resistance stone from him.
“Tell me you’ll trust me,” She said as he nodded.
“Words, I need your words,” She said as she climbed off his lap.
“I will trust you,” He said as she held his hand.
“Come with me,” She held his hand as they walked out of the castle; he did not know where she was taking him but he was content that at least now he was going to know every reason of hers.
