Married To The Mad Vampire Lord novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318: Something’s wrong with Angel_Part 3

A faint frown creased Rav’s face as he turned his head toward her. "What’s wrong with him?" he asked, his voice calm, unwilling to risk stepping closer to see for himself for the sake of his own peace of mind, not truly believing anything concerning could be wrong with Angel.

"Are you going to keep standing there, or are you going to come here and see for yourself?" Evenly demanded, her voice sharp with urgency as her worry grew over the baby’s shaking little body in her arms.

She knew he did not like children, and she did not mind if he acted the part of a pretend father or not, for she did not need him. But still, he would not have his life, nor would she, if anything were to happen to the vampire Duke’s son right under their watch.

Rav finally left the window and moved forward to see what was wrong. When he noticed the paleness on Angel’s face and the way his eyes were shifting, he immediately knew what was wrong. "He’s hungry," he announced, recalling how his master shook and turned pale when exhausted and hungry. His son, it seemed, was the same.

Rav had served Rohan for many years and knew the signs of his hunger well. It became even more apparent when the baby opened his mouth to cry and his tiny fangs emerged from his gums.

"Hungry? He was fed blood just before we arrived at the mansion," Evenly said in concern, recalling how she had fed him the bottle of blood Rohan had handed her along with the baby. It wasn’t up to an hour ago when she had given him the blood.

Rav looked hesitant as he explained, "His kind are like that. But since he is still a baby, master may not have thought his exhaustion would make him hungrier, or he would have given us more blood to feed him. When they get exhausted, they require more blood, or else... lose control." He was not certain he should be telling her this, for it gave away secrets about his master as well, but he had no choice.

Evenly had never known of another kind of vampire like the Duke, but she did not ask questions now. She was more worried about the baby, who had begun to cry so loudly she grimaced as the sound was deafening.

Worried and unsettled, Evenly was about to ask how they would find blood for him right now when suddenly the baby jumped. He literally leapt out of her arms, and before she knew what was happening, his small head jerked and his fangs sank into her neck. He began to drink deeply from her body, his claw-like nails digging into her arms as if to keep her from moving away.

At first, she had impulsively tried to push him back out of fear, but when she realized he was only taking her blood, she froze. Quickly, she waved at Rav, who had moved to pull the baby away, to leave him be.

"Let him drink..." she whispered softly, then began to pat his quivering little body as he took her blood. She saw Rav, who had bent close, pull back slowly and straighten, his eyes fixed on the hungry child.

"I never thought it was possible for one vampire to feed on another. He must be starving," she remarked, biting back the cry of pain that rose to her throat when his little fangs sank into another part of her flesh.

Even as a human, Evenly had never experienced vampire fangs piercing her skin, and she had never imagined it would hurt this much. She could feel the relentless pull of her blood being drawn from her veins, it was hot and so painful her eyes involuntarily burned. She bit down hard on her lower lip, holding herself still for the child clinging to her neck.

Rav was uncertain whether to pull Angel back. He knew too well what could happen when creatures like his master grew hungry from exhaustion. His master could feed on dozens of people and still not have his thirst quenched. Though Angel was still small, he might unknowingly feed on the lady until he killed her.
