Married To The Mad Vampire Lord novel Chapter 439

Chapter 439: "You were Astral?" Part 3

Belle raised her hands to his face, cupping his jaw in her palms as she said, "It turns out everything I thought I knew and believed before today was all a lie, Rohan. My identity was a lie." She mused quietly, causing Rohan to frown down at her.

"What happened? Tell me everything," he breathed against her mouth, looking into her eyes as she nodded her head.

He had brought a witch to remove the soul that was living inside her, only to end up removing his wife completely. Nothing in this world had prepared him for that, and now he waited to hear it all.

Belle had no intentions of hiding anything from him in the first place because she would need him and his wings to fly her to places too far to remove and send a soul to the land of the dead. Hence, she parted her lips and began to tell him what happened from the beginning without keeping anything from him, not even the fact that she had once been a reaper, the same one he had befriended.

Rohan stared at her as though she had grown two heads before he finally found his voice.

"You were Astral..." he said.

It wasn’t a question but a statement born from utter disbelief. He had never even considered that possibility. He had never even thought she could have been Isabelle, there had been no possible way around it. But her being a reaper before... suddenly everything made perfect sense.

No wonder when he first met her, when she was just a little girl, there had been this strange pull toward her, a sense of familiarity that made him feel attached. It was as if he had known her before.

So that feeling was there because she was Astral all this while...

When his family had left him in that abandoned attic, Astral had been his only company, his best friend. And this time around, after so many years when he had thought his life was good even though it wasn’t, Isa had been there for him again, showing him what a perfect life could be.

And Isabelle... no wonder a part of his heart had felt drawn to her and her things in that old mansion. It turned out they were all connected to be one.

Rohan’s head rang as he realized the other words she had spoken about punishment for not crossing his soul and punishment for her actions of messing with time.

"How come they let you return if you had broken all those laws in that land?" he questioned gravely, his eyes never leaving hers. Everything she had just told him made something fierce coil inside him, possessiveness, and the desperate need to keep her safe. With what she had done in the land of the dead in the past, it seemed impossible that they would allow her to live without punishment, without facing consequences.

"They didn’t let me off," she said quietly. "I am to take back one hundred and eighty souls, and all of them are scattered in different parts of the world and city. I must not fail to bring them back at the exact time listed in their destiny books." She moved away from him slightly and knelt on the bed.

"Let me show you the list of them, and how utterly impossible taking back some of them will be." She lifted her hand, and a transparent, scroll-like roll appeared in her palm. She unfurled it on the bed; the transparent scroll contained the names of souls to be taken, and Rohan moved closer to read them and see where they lived.

"Groovestill," He muttered with a deep frown. "That is an entirely different land, so far away from here."
