Ch. 61..65: The Vampire Prince's Blindfolded Bride Chapter 61-65

Chapter 61: Venus has disappeared

Alora crossed her arms over her chest and glared at Magnus, who was reclining with his head against the headboard of the bed.

"What did I do? Your grandmother needs to be shown a mirror of her discriminating behavior toward you. Alora, you should reward me, instead of glaring at me," Magnus stated.

"Let my grandmother do what she wants. She is old and she is my elder," Alora explained.

"Show me your feet," Magnus asserted.

"Why?" Alora got confused.

"I want to touch them," he pronounced. "You are the idol of naivety!" He taunted Alora.

"I am not naive," Alora argued with him.

"Oh, you are!" Magnus stated.

"I know many things. I just ignore them," Alora replied.

"Then," Magnus suddenly appeared before her and pulled her close by holding her waist, "tell me what happens between a husband and a wife when they are married?"

"What kind of question is this?" Alora murmured. She asked him to let her go, her hands moved to his arm, attempting to release her from it.

Magnus pulled her chin by holding it firmly and made her look into his eyes. "Answer me. Prove that you are not naive," he said.

Alora pursed her lips together, stealing away her eyes from him. She met his gaze when he said, "Your silence tells me that you already know, but you want to ignore it."

"Selvina told me. I did not know," Alora finally replied. "A lot happens," she murmured. A hue of red started appearing on her cheeks. By now, she had lowered her eyes shyly. However, his hold on her chin still persisted.

Magnus leaned down his head to kiss her, he released her chin and cradled her neck. She lightly pushed him away by pressing her hands on his chest. "We are at my home. What if my mother comes," Alora said as she breathed in.

"The door is locked," Magnus reminded her.

"I mean, she may want to talk to me and then we will get disturbed," Alora murmured lightly. Her eyelids moved faster because of the nervousness built inside her.

"Your mother isn’t naive unlike you," Magnus proclaimed.

"What?" Alora exclaimed as she didn’t anticipate such a response from him.

"You heard me," Magnus answered. "Nevermind. Now, I’m not in a mood," he said and let go of her. For some reason, he started feeling thirsty. His fingers touched his lips as his pupils changed colors. The scent of the humans around him made him want to have the blood. But more than anyone, he wanted Alora’s blood to quench his thirst.

The moment she held his arm and pecked his lips after meeting his gaze, Magnus felt the hunger for blood vanish from his mind, replaced entirely by a longing for Alora.

Quickly, he turned her around. She tilted her head, only to find his nose nuzzling her hair, while his hands worked on the hooks of her dress. Gently he moved away the hair to the front and showered kisses on her neck, and shoulder.

Suddenly a knock occurred on the door, disturbing their moment.

"Don’t disturb us for a while," Magnus said.

Alora turned to face him, asking him why he said that in a whispering tone.

"Because I want no disturbance," he answered, and in the blink of an eye, they were on the bed. Magnus gently removed her heels and placed them on the floor. His index finger traced her lips, his eyes lingering on her curves as he trailed his finger down her body.

He ducked his head into the crook of her neck, showering kisses there, while his hand rested on her belly, gently drawing circles as he caressed it. Sensing his pupils changing, Magnus decided to withdraw.

Peering into Alora’s eyes, he noticed her cheeks were flushed red. A smile played on his lips as he stroked her cheek with the pad of his fingers.

"Umm... Why did you stop?" Alora asked, nervously touching her fingers together.

"I thought you wanted me to," he murmured softly.

"No. I didn’t," Alora refused as she shook her head. She had her hand placed over the center of her chest.

"Then, undress me," Magnus said.

Alora stopped blinking for a moment, then slowly brought her hands to his overcoat. Gently sliding it off his shoulders, she propped herself up on her elbows to sit up. As she began to undo the buttons of his shirt, her lips were suddenly captured by his.

Magnus held her hands, which were on his shirt, and gently pushed her back onto the mattress, pinning her hands above her head.

Feeling vulnerable beneath him, Alora lifted her leg, determined to fully surrender to the kiss, matching his pace with her own.

Each nibble sent shivers down her spine, and her dress was gradually loosening from her body. A moan escaped her lips when his palm rested over her clothed breast, but it was a suppressed one.

Alora tightly clutched his shirt, feeling the urgency for air as his hand caressed her curves, causing knots to form in the pit of her stomach.

When he detached his lips from hers, Alora let out a shaky moan, surprised by her own body’s reaction to the pleasure. She couldn’t believe the intensity of the sensation coursing through her. She wondered what kind of feeling this was that made her feel so incredibly good.

"It is called pleasure," Magnus whispered against her mouth. "Do you want to feel more?" He asked.

"I-Is there more?" Alora asked, her eyelids flickering rapidly.

Before Magnus could answer her, they heard a panicking sound coming from the outside.

"I have a request to make to the Prince," Rhea said.

Both Alora and Magnus sat up. He helped her in wearing the dress and then, put on his overcoat before heading to the door.

"What is it, Mother-in-law?" asked Magnus as soon as he opened the door. Alora, on the other hand, quickly donned her eyes with the blindfold.

"I just received a message from Venus’s in-laws. She has disappeared in the early morning," said Rhea with tears in her eyes.

 

Chapter 62: Not to help your evil sister

"I don’t think I can help in this, Mother-in-law. You should ask her in-laws to take the help of the police. Vampires don’t get involved in the matters of the humans," Magnus reminded Rhea, refusing to help her.

Alora, who had heard the entire conversation approached Magnus and asked him not to say so. "My sister has disappeared. How could His Highness take it so lightly?" she complained.

"Do you think Venus is worthy of my help?" Magnus asked and walked inside, showing his non-caring attitude.

"Why is His Highness so angry with Venus?" Rhea asked Alora.

"Mother, I’ll convince him. Please stay with Grandma. She must be worried," Alora said. Rhea nodded at her and left while Alora walked into the room, removing her blindfold.

"No, Love. I am not interested in hearing from you to find Venus." Magnus refused to give any kind of help.

"But she is my sister. What if it is related to the werewolves? We have to save her," Alora opined. She rushed to the bed and sat in front of Magnus while holding his arm affectionately.

"No, Alora. You cannot use your charm on me to make me find Venus. Moreover, if she is a werewolf and has entered such a pack, then I’ve no right to interfere because there are certain rules set between us," Magnus explained to her.

"But you are a prince. What rules can stop you? And you always say Magnus doesn’t follow rules. He works according to his will," Alora reminded him.

"And my will is not to help your evil sister," Magnus said.

"Why is His Highness making me upset with his remarks?" Alora hit his arm lightly. "I will ask Brother Izaak and Brother Alaric to help me. They are my friends," she murmured and stood up.

However, Magnus pulled her down. "They won’t help either. We don’t want troubles to be involved with the werewolves," he explained.

"What if my sister hasn’t turned yet?" Alora asked him. "We can save her," she opined.

"Don’t you remember why she agreed to marry into that family even after knowing the truth? Because she wants to be a supernatural being and be better than you. Venus’s disappearance shouldn’t bother you given the fact that how she wanted you to..." Magnus paused as he couldn’t finish off his sentence.

"Your Highness, whatever she did to me was because of my eyes. She got rejected by many just because I was her older sister. Please, don’t do this. I beg you," Alora pleaded this time as she grabbed Magnus’s hands.

He rolled his eyes, seeing how Alora loved her sister despite Venus hated her. "You didn’t have to beg me for her. I don’t like it," Magnus stated.

"Then, will you find her?" Alora inquired.

"I have to since you want me to. Can I ever refuse you?" He chuckled.

A smile tugged on Alora’s lips as she thanked him. "Shall I accompany you too?" she inquired.

"No. You should stay here with your family," Magnus stated.

"But that will worry me more. I am concerned about you too," Alora murmured.

"Then, you won’t keep the blindfold on your eyes. If you agree to my condition, you are welcome to accompany me," Magnus pronounced.

Alora contemplated for a few seconds before agreeing with him. "We shall hurry," she said and the two stood up. They both came to the living room of the house, where Madam Aubrey was crying for Venus. Rhea had been consoling her when she spotted the prince.

"Because Alora wants me to find her sister, so we will go to Venus’ in-laws’ house," Magnus asserted. Promptly, Madam Aubrey stopped weeping and he left her seat along with Rhea.

"I’ll always be grateful to Prince Magnus if he finds my granddaughter," Madam Aubrey stated while joining her hands.

Magnus didn’t trust her words and told her to send someone with the coachman, who could tell us about the place, where Venus lived.

"Sure, I will send Peter with you," Rhea said. "Alora, you should stay here," she then suggested.

"Let Alora accompany me. I may need her eyes," Magnus told Rhea and walked outside with her.

Rhea instructed Peter to lead the direction while Magnus and Alora were seated in the coach. She was trembling in fear, thinking where Venus could possibly disappear.

"Mother, we will find out about Venus soon," Alora assured her while keeping her gaze low. She decided to keep a secret from her mother about Venus being married to a werewolf.

"Hmm."

Magnus and Alora got into the coach, which the coachman closed from the outside. As he drove it ahead, Rhea went inside her house.

"I won’t kill anyone with my eyes," Alora clarified to Magnus.

"Why do you think I’ll ask you to kill anyone?" He questioned her. "You have to control Venus if she has turned into a werewolf," Magnus opined.

"I cannot look into anyone’s eyes, except yours. Also, we don’t know yet if she has turned or not." She still believed that Venus would never choose to be a werewolf just because she wanted some supernatural abilities.

"A unification ritual is a must among the werewolves. I do think she is converted into a werewolf by her husband," Magnus pronounced.

"A unification ritual?" Alora arched her brows.

"Yes. A werewolf marks his mate and claims her as his other half," Magnus replied.

"I hope it is not true," she mumbled.

"Alora, I won’t do anything if the werewolves ask me to step back because we have set boundaries. I cannot let chaos happen between the two species. If Venus has not turned, then it’s good. However, if I find out that she is already a werewolf, then I will do nothing to save her," Magnus cleared to his wife.

She felt worried to hear that. "I hope Venus hasn’t chosen the life of a werewolf," Alora said.

"The problem is that Venus is greedy. Your choices never mattered to her. You have to live for yourself, not for the others. Because of you, I’m forced to live for the others instead of us," Magnus asserted.

Chapter 63: Stop showing your concern for me

As the carriage halted outside the Duke’s residence, the guard opened the door for them. Magnus was the first to step out, followed by Alora. The other guard rushed in to inform Duke Benedict about the Vampire prince’s presence while the first one led their way inside.

Benedict was quick to go out and meet with them. While Alora kept her head low, Magnus and Benedict exchanged greetings with each other.

"We are here on the report of the disappearance of Venus," Magnus stated.

"Please come inside and then, we can talk about it," Benedict said.

"Hmm." They both followed the Duke inside his residence and made their way to the large living room. After they sat down, Alora asked about Eugene.

"My son has gone out to find Venus. This is such a disturbing fact for all of us. We considered Venus as our child and she ran away," commented Lady Eloise, Venus’s mother-in-law as she entered the living room.

"I don’t think my sister has run away," Alora said. Eloise noticed that Venus’s sister was without the blindfold and apologized to her for her harsh comment.

"We have a name not only among the humans but also the Vampires and the Werewolves," Eloise said with a humble tone. "Our daughter-in-law ran away, so what does Princess Alora think the people think about us?" she enquired of her.

"People will think that Venus’s in-laws were not good to her," Magnus remarked, interrupting in the conversation. He couldn’t read the minds of any of them, causing his suspicion to grow further. ’Did they protect their minds from being read knowing the fact I’ll be here?’

"Your Highness, we consider Venus as our daughter," Benedict stated this time.

"Shall we come direct on the point, Duke Benedict?" Magnus asked.

The Duke wondered what Magnus meant by that.

"Why did you all turn to the werewolves?" Magnus queried straightforwardly. Alora tilted her head to gaze at him. She didn’t anticipate he would ask such a question from them out of the blue.

"Wh-what is Prince Magnus saying?" Benedict pretended as he asked him not to accuse them for something they never did.

"I read your minds on Venus and Eugene’s marriage day," stated Magnus, looking straight into Benedict’s eyes. "So, by any chance is Venus converted into a werewolf? Tomorrow is a blood moon and it is perfect for her transformation," he pronounced.

Alora got tensed to hear that. She didn’t wish her sister to become a werewolf.

"Your Highness, no such thing has happened," Benedict said. He didn’t know how to respond to the direct confrontation he got from Magnus.

"Benedict, I don’t believe in wasting time. Just tell me what exactly happened or I’ve other ways to bring the truth out. You won’t want a vampire to fight with you," Magnus affirmed.

Eloise gulped thinking their truth would come out if they admitted their identity as werewolves.

"My sister didn’t deserve it. We thought you all were humans," Alora ended up speaking. "Please tell us where Venus is."

"Venus has run away, Your Highnesses. I admit that we are a family of werewolves. However, Venus wasn’t transformed into a werewolf. In the morning, we didn’t find her in the residence," Benedict truthfully replied as he revealed the truth to them.

"When will Eugene return?" asked Magnus.

"We don’t know," Benedict answered.

Magnus doubted that Venus wasn’t turned into a werewolf. Eugene might have hidden it from his family. That was why he never liked the werewolves. They were just some dominant creatures because of their strange attributes toward their mates.

He sensed Alora’s worries and assured her Venus would be found soon.

"Why did you all hide the facts about your real identities?" Alora asked them. "My sister wasn’t supposed to marry a werewolf," she muttered.

"We live as humans, Princess Alora," Eloise stated.

"Venus is my mate. That’s why I sent a proposal for her," Eugene’s voice reverberated in their ears. "I have brought her home. She didn’t run away, Mother," he informed them and turned to look at Venus, who entered the living room.

Magnus glanced at her and found even Venus’s mind was unreadable to him. He spotted a pendant on her neck and realized that it had some spell on it, which prevented him from reading their thoughts.

"Alora, Prince Magnus, what are you doing here?" Venus inquired.

"The news of your disappearance reached home," Alora stated and she rose to her feet. Keeping her eyes low, she approached Venus and finally hugged her sister.

"Are you well? Mother and Grandma were worried for you," Alora said as she caressed her back. Magnus noticed how Venus looked low in spirit. She even reciprocated Alora’s hug, which definitely was not an act.

"Why didn’t you bite her till now?" Magnus questioned Eugene. "You claim her as your mate, but you didn’t tell this to the Wilson Family before the marriage. Why?" He squinted his eyes in suspicion.

"That’s my personal matter with Venus, Your Highness," Eugene replied. "I hope the Prince will understand," he stated.

Alora withdrew from the hug with Venus and told Eugene that he should not have lied to her family when asked for Venus’s hand. "Where did you go Venus in the early morning?" she asked, placing her hands on her arms.

"She and I had an argument. In anger, she left. Because it is a couple’s matter, Princess Alora should stay out of this," Eugene affirmed.

Magnus finally rose to his feet. "Well, Eugene, it is no longer personal," he pronounced. "You should not have let the matter out. Remove the locket from Venus’s neck. I wish to read her mind," he pronounced, "or remove the spell you all have put on yourselves with the help of a witch." His command was clear.

"Prince Magnus, it is my matter with Venus. She is my wife, so I cannot allow you to read her mind. That will be a breach of privacy," Eugene humbly refused to do so.

"Venus, why don’t you remove it, then?" Magnus gazed at him.

"Venus, do it. You don’t have to hide anything from us," Alora asserted.

"I don’t wish to," Venus replied.

"We won’t come to save you if anything happens," Magnus cleared to her.

"I am not in any kind of danger," Venus stated with a smile.

Alora held her hands when Venus pushed her away. "Stop showing your concern for me," she shouted at Alora.

Magnus stepped up when Alora blocked his way. "Let’s leave," she urged, not wanting a fight to break because of her.

Magnus looked at all of them for the last time and left with Alora.

Chapter 64: Back to the residence

Magnus pressed his finger against Alora’s lips and asked her to not speak about Venus anymore. "We don’t have to do anything with those wolves," he stated with annoyance.

As he withdrew his finger, Alora asked him how would they tell them about Venus’s family truth to their parents.

"Did you not hear Eugene? He said it was their personal matter. So, I will tell your grandmother and mother to talk to Venus by themselves. We aren’t going to meddle in their family. And you have to listen to me. Don’t make me compel you to follow my order," Magnus affirmed and went ahead of her.

Alora sighed and followed him inside. To her surprise, her father and brother had returned from work after hearing about Venus’s disappearance. But soon, she learned that they had returned from Venus’s in-laws home.

"Your Highness, you and Alora returned late," said Madam Aubrey as they all left their seats. Norman and Elliot greeted them with a respectful gesture.

Rhea came to Alora and asked her how Venus looked.

"Did Norman not tell you?" Magnus questioned and glanced at him. "Why don’t you tell your wife and mother that your daughter is no longer sane enough? All she does is an insult. I feel like hanging her to death every time she disrespects Alora," he blurted out and took away Alora from there.

Rhea was shocked to see the angry Magnus and gazed at her husband.

"To us, she looked normal. I think Venus didn’t like Alora’s involvement in her family matter. Also, Venus hadn’t run away from the house. She wanted to be alone after she had an argument with Eugene," Norman stated.

"But the news has spread in the entire city. How are we supposed to answer the people? Can Venus not handle her household?" Madam Aubrey showed concern and told Norman to bring Venus home tomorrow.

"Mother, that is not a good idea. People will talk more about us," Norman asserted.

"Isn’t it a big matter that Venus left the home early in the morning because of an argument? Are they treating her well? My Lord, do you think we should neglect it?" Rhea questioned her husband.

"Father and I made sure that Eugene would not upset Venus anymore. Also, Venus asked us not to send Alora there with Prince Magnus. Sister Alora did something there, which had angered her," Elliot informed them after assuring his mother that Venus was doing well.

Norman sat down on the couch. "Venus didn’t like Alora’s involvement in her family matter. Rhea, you need to make sure Alora stays away from Venus. She has her own family, where she should focus more," he opined.

"Alora must be concerned for Venus as her elder sister," Rhea stated.

"Her concern doesn’t matter to Venus," Norman replied. "If you had sent away Alora far from here at a young age, our other two kids’ lives would have been much better," he remarked.

"My Lord, Venus’s and Elliot’s lives were never affected by Alora. They both started hating her because you and Mother always created that environment. We all did so much wrong to her, yet she never used her eyes powers on us," Rhea stated and urged her husband not to speak ill of Alora anymore. "She has come here and it will upset her that her father still despises her," Rhea muttered.

Madam Aubrey told her son not to take anger on Alora since Magnus was also present in the house.

Magnus, who had come out to ask Rhea to send meals for Alora heard their entire conversation. He decided not to keep Alora here since they all were her enemies, except for Rhea.

He had held himself together because of Alora. "Norman, I told you to treat my wife well. But you always forgot that. I now realize why Venus spews poison whenever she speaks with Alora because her father taught her all that." He entered the living room, grabbing everyone’s attention to him.

"You are lucky that I cannot kill you all. Except for my mother-in-law, no one cares for my wife. Alora is a nice child and a sister, who takes every humiliation without doing anything. However, I am much worse than you all think." Magnus’s words were intimidating as they left a wave of fear in all of them.

"Your Highness, I didn’t mean to–"

Magnus didn’t let him finish his words. "Just shut your mouth, Norman." He then looked at Rhea and said, "I’m taking Alora back to our residence. If she stays here, Norman might kill her." With that, he left for the room.

Norman told Rhea he would apologize to the Vampire Prince.

"That will only escalate his anger," Rhea said with a disappointed gaze at her husband.

On the other side, in Alora’s room, Magnus asked her to come with him.

"Huh? Where?" Alora put her feet down on the floor.

"To the residence. I think we should stay around each other," Magnus replied.

"Really?" Alora was happy that Magnus wanted to let her stay around him and she rose to her feet. "Will His Highness not lose his senses?" she asked in a teasing tone.

"Even if I will, I don’t think I will harm you. After all, you can tame me with your eyes," Magnus stated.

Alora smiled and ran to him. She wrapped her arms around him. "Of course! My eyes are magical for you," she stated and lifted her head to look at him.

"Yes, they are! Alora, I want to do many things for you," Magnus said while running his thumbs on her cheeks.

"Mmm... You have already done a lot for me," Alora replied as she slowly dropped her hands down.

"No. I have not. Let’s go back before the evening falls," Magnus opined.

"Sure."

They held each other’s hands and went out of the room, where Rhea encountered them.

"Mother, we should return," Alora murmured, avoiding eye contact with Rhea.

"It’s for the best," Rhea replied gently, placing her hand on Alora’s head and offering her blessing. "Remember, you can always call on me whenever you need me."

With a brief glance at Magnus, Rhea excused herself. "I’ve prepared some sweets for Alora. I’ll fetch them from the kitchen and bring them to the carriage," she informed before making her way to the kitchen.

As they finally settled in the coach, the carriage moved back to the palace. The sun had already set and the carriage was moving at its full speed.

Alora kept her gaze out of the window as she enjoyed the night view. Her eyes moved to the sky, where she could see the moon, glowing bright and much larger than yesterday.

Startled by a distant howl, she turned to Magnus, her fear evident in her eyes. "Was that a werewolf?" she asked anxiously.

"Hmm, the Blood Moon cycle begins tonight. The moon will appear much larger than usual before taking its full shape," Magnus explained calmly, reassuring her.

Abruptly, the carriage jerked to a halt, causing Alora to nearly lose her balance. Magnus swiftly steadied her, preventing her from falling.

Chapter 65: How did you survive

"What happened?" Alora’s heart almost jumped out in fear as she thought again a werewolf attacked them. Magnus realized there were some vampires around the carriage. They must have gotten Alora’s scent.

"I will check," Magnus opened the door’s latch to step out when Alora held the edge of his sleeve, thus stopping him from exiting. "Don’t go. Instead, let me go."

"There’s no danger outside. Trust me," Magnus asserted and put her hand away. He exited the door and closed it from outside, not wanting Alora to come out.

Magnus noticed the three vampires around the carriage and went toward one of them, who was at the backside. He peered into this young vampire’s eyes and compelled him. "Go home." The moment Magnus said that the young vampire left the place.

Before the second one could open the door, Magnus held her hand. This one was a female vampire and she showed her fangs to Magnus. When he brought his real face out, the young female vampire timidly moved away from him and disappeared into the forest.

However, the third one couldn’t be seen anywhere. Magnus wondered if he had run away and went to the front. Magnus asked the coachman to drive the coach fast to the residence. He was quick to get inside the coach, where Alora was seated.

"Some young vampires had come because of your scent. This region belongs to the vampires," Magnus explained to his wife. Once again the carriage had begun to move at its full speed.

"My scent is that strong?" Alora was surprised to learn that.

"No. Because you were the only human in the vicinity, that’s why it attracted some young vampires," Magnus answered.

"Oh. But for Prince Magnus my blood scent is strong. Is there a certain reason behind this?" Alora curiously inquired.

"Because you are my destined other half," Magnus replied. He smiled as Alora passed a smile to him. He looked out of the window, noticing how the moon was getting higher in the sky.

"I wonder if Venus became a werewolf or not. She didn’t wish to tell me because Eugene must have asked her to. Your Highness, could you please do something to find out the truth?" Alora made a sudden request from him regarding her sister. "I know you’d scold me for thinking about Venus. But I’ll blame myself if any wrong thing happens to her because I know her truth," she explained.

Magnus remained silent. He acted as if he didn’t listen to Alora. She didn’t either talk about it anymore and turned silent.

Finally, their journey came to an end and they arrived at their residence. Magnus stepped out of the coach first, followed by Alora. She held her gown a little up and began walking.

"Brother, you brought Alora back," Izaak’s voice fell into their ears, who was coming from the other side. Alora lowered her gaze and approached Magnus soon to stand beside him.

"Yes. She is safer here," Magnus replied.

"Are you sure?" Izaak was puzzled. He knew Magnus would not be able to control himself at the peak of the blood moon. "Alora, at least, you should have stayed in your home. Magnus is usually not able to keep his control."

"Thank you, Brother Izaak, but I’m fine around Alora. I’ll talk to you later. We are exhausted," Magnus said and grasped Alora’s wrist before going inside.

Upon reaching the chamber, Magnus let go of her hand while Alora rushed to drink water. As she poured a glass of water for herself, she was quick to chug its content down her throat.

"Hah! I feel good." Alora wiped her lips from the back of her palm.

Selvina came in whom Magnus ordered to set the dinner table in the chamber for Alora. She bowed and left to ask the cooks to prepare dinner for Alora.

"Why does His Highness look so grumpy?" Alora inquired, her tone filled with concern. "I promise not to mention Venus again. Please forgive me," she added softly, prompting Magnus to gaze at her.

"Come here!" Magnus commanded, and Alora obeyed, quickly making her way to him. He pulled her down onto his lap, gently bringing her hands to rest on his neck.

"How did you survive in that house?"

"Huh?" She looked surprised at his sudden query.

"No one ever loved you in that house, except for Mrs. Rhea," Magnus opined. "Did you ever get the feeling of burning all of them?" He questioned her.

"Never," Alora truthfully responded. "I always wanted to get rid of my eyes. I’m glad I found you because you made me see my eyes differently," she explained.

"Hmm." He understood why Alora was chosen for such eyes. No matter how harsh people were on her, she always kept her humbleness alive. It wasn’t easy to carry such a trait for a long time.

He kissed her cheeks before capturing her lips into a warm kiss. His hands moved to her lower back, drawing her close to him until their bodies pressed against each other. His rough lips against her soft ones created a passion between them.

With each kiss, Alora felt knots forming in the pit of her stomach, a mixture of nervousness and excitement coursing through her. Willingly, she parted her lips, inviting him to deepen the kiss. Her hands instinctively tangled in his smooth, silky locks of hair.

Muffled cries of pleasure remained trapped in her throat as his tongue met hers, eliciting a shaky moan from deep within her. Gasping for air, she surrendered to his gentle pace, savoring every moment of their intimate connection.

Finally, Magnus parted from her mouth. He showered kisses on her face and reached her neck. Her chest rose and fell in the anticipation of wanting more.

Suddenly, he stopped, causing Alora to open her eyes. She peered into his red orbs while inhaling and exhaling deep breaths. "You need to have your dinner. You couldn’t either have your lunch," Magnus said while stroking her cheek from the back of his palm.

"I’m not hungry yet. We can continue," Alora murmured.

It brought a smile to Magnus’s face. "After you’ve had your supper, we will continue, Wife," Magnus stated and kissed the tip of her nose.
