Chapter Seventy Four: THE CURSED DAGGER 1

Betty woke up to an empty bed, Verdun is no where to be seen which is weird, I definitely didn’t expect to wake up alone and cold, I thought we were cuddling ” stupid husband, he lack romance ” mumbling I stand to my feet then stretch myself ” Verdun!!” Calling his name I got no answer but it seem like someone is coughing in the bathroom ” Verdun?” Picking up his shirt I put it on then move to the bathroom, not hesitating to open the door.

I watch Verdun wash his face, breathing heavily ” are you okay?” Asking he nod but didn’t turn to my direction ” Verdun, look at me ”

” not now”

” Verdun!”

” amor stop it!” When he said that I watch him cough, blood coming out of his mouth ” stay back Betty, don’t come close ”

” what’s happening ”

” I ate human food yesterday ” he mumble ” must be the reason” he wash his face all over again before turning to my direction, those blue eyes are not glittering like they use to, it look dull, lifeless .

” your stomach still hurt?”

” no darling “he smile before moving towards my direction, his hands pat my head gently ” get dressed then we will do anything you wish ”

” really? Anything?”

” yes, anything ” he lean close then whisper ” meet me in my garden, I will be waiting for you there ” and after that he left in a hurry which confuse me, is he really coughing blood because he ate human food?

The Verdun I know will not do such a careless thing or has his condition worsen and he is hiding it from me? No I doubt it, such will not happen, he will not hide such a thing from me

Or will he?

Shaking my head I did has he said, shower, put on a green dress then head to the huge room he call a garden, of course flowers are everywhere but its like a huge library with…..before I could complete my thought Brandon pull me into the hallway ” we are leaving ”

” what are you saying ” pulling my hands from him, he look around, servants walking around the whole place, the next thing happening is him pulling me into a room and shutting the door ” Brandon??”

” listen to me Betty ” he look through the window, he is acting suspicious like something bad will happen soon ” we have to get out of here, you don’t know Verdun, he is not what you think”

” what are you saying ” he turn to my direction then try calming down ” listen Betty, we will leave night fall but before then I need you to stab Verdun with this cursed dagger ” I remain still while Brandon pull a dagger out, wrap it around a short cloth and hand it over to me.

” why?”

” he is responsible concerning our parents death, he joined forces with other vampires to being down our clan ” shaking my head I step back ” believe me Betty, I have evidence to prove what I speak of ”

” show me ” what I said motivated him to bring out a letter, hiding the dagger under my dress I collected it and read carefully, its Verdun writing, commanding them to destroy my clan ” why should I believe this, writing can be forge in order for me to doubt my husband ”

” Betty….. ”

” I have heard enough Brandon, I don’t know who is telling you all these useless stories but you need to believe me, I love Verdun and he feels the same, he didn’t plan anything concerning our parents death ” I grunt, anger boiling in my vain ” this is my honey moon and you are ruining things, I can’t kill my husband nor will I run away from him ”

” you very well know that you will die if you stick around him”

” what are you saying ?”

” come with me, you choose life, stay with him….you pick death ”

” death sound great Brandon” turning around I mumble finally before leaving ” have a nice day Brandon” arriving in Verdun garden I push open the huge doors then stare at the books, doesn’t look like some books you sit around and read though.

” what took you so long darling ” Verdun mumble, his voice back to the usual, finding him staring at humans he call foods I roll my eyes.

” I was busy”

” doing what?”

I will love to tell him about what Brandon said but I just can’t, he might drive him away, I just connected with him I don’t wish to lose him ” I was talking to Mona and the others ” he turn around, those blue eyes studying me carefully while he drink his coffee.

” hmmm”

” what are you reading?” Changing the topic I move to the table only to find a bible resting there but not opened ” a bible??”

” I will take it you are shocked amor ” he hiss out in pain and I close my eyes to fight back tears, he lean from behind then whisper ” am fine darling, now tell me what surprises you ”

” I thought you don’t believe in God ”

” I don’t ” turning around I find him frowning then suddenly smile ” what’s a bible Betty? Let me tell you…a manual that describes something, if am reading a book that the name is a bible know it something important ”

” like what Verdun”

“Studying about the devil ” he smile ” you see the devil have different ways he works and if I wish to get out of this predicament am in, I have to know more about him ”

” well I didn’t expect my honey moon to be this random ” this brought smiles to his face, he drop the coffee then hold my face ” Verdun?”

” is okay Betty, I didn’t expect it to be this way either ” he move his hands on my thigh slowly upwards, his lips crush on mine and I gasp, this isn’t a loving kiss, its more like a punishment, he deepen the kiss, biting my tongue gently, so rough am finding it hard to breath.

Hitting his chest, it took two more minutes before he step back holding the cursed dagger in his hands, he run his fingers on them gently ” a fine one but not good enough “he said to himself then one corner of his lips turn up ” and here I thought they was no better way to die than in your hands ” Betty eyes widen with surprise, she knew nothing will go unnoticed by him, did he hear everything, see everything?

” I would never do that “I shutter feeling the cold tip of his fingers caressing my cheek gently towards my lips, those eyes not leaving mine.

” that’s a disappointment if you ask me” he drop his hand and I frown, did he seriously think I would kill him? I have been praying for him not to die so why will I want to stab him.

” did you think I would?” I asked him calmly, my gaze never leaving his face.

” would you?” he asked, his blue eyes glittering with mischief, she didn’t answer his question neither did he, silence fell in the huge hall, their gaze didn’t move from each other, she knows that Verdun find it hard to trust people but he should learn to believe her.

When she open her lips to speak Verdun beat her to it ” I hate it when you lie amor” his stare at the dagger before throwing it back to me which I caught successfully ” your brother seem to hate me, I find that rather amusing ” this made a frown creep into his face ” answer me amor, will you kill me one day ” he look at me and I know he is expecting an answer.

” no ”

” how disappointing ” he smile.

Chapter Seventy Five: THE CURSED DAGGER 2

” how disappointing ” he smile before holding my hand and pulling me to a corner” I want to show you something ”

” what is it ” I asked the moment we stop at the wall, I watch him draw a sigh and then it open up, like some secret hide out ” Verdun??” He said nothing, just hold my hand and pull me into the dark, the door close shut, locking us in, I have always been scared of the dark, tightening my hold around his hands I lean into him ” am scared ”

“Do you trust me? ” he look down at me, his blue eyes the only brightness in the whole place, I nod my head gently which brought smiles to his face ” then hold tight, you will love what I wish to show you ”

” okay ”

Walking beside him I couldn’t help but to smile, all these seem kind of strange, we were arguing one minute and the next he is holding me tight through a dark road to a place I have no idea of ” almost there darling ” stopping at a door he open it gently and the first thing I saw was a dragon, a really flying dragon.

” oh my!!” Stepping in I look around the place, is like we are in a different universe, different dragons of different colours flying, even faeries, flowers, trees are everywhere.

Moving to a huge blossom tree I stand and stare at it beauty, moving close I touch and close my eyes, trying to get its feeling ” what are you doing amor?” I can feel Verdun presence behind me.

” its happy ” opening my eyes I stare at the tree ” its happy to be here” turning around I half yell ” this place is fabulous Verdun, how did you find it, is it magic?”

Verdun chuckle then smile ” kind of ” leaning close he kiss my lips, slowly biting my lower lips and seeking entrance which I give to him, our tongue meet and I wrap my hands round his neck to deepen the kiss ” I made a room here for us, come ” breaking the kiss he hold my hand taking me somewhere else, we pass through a golden bridge which made me calculating how much I can make from that gold.

Averting my gaze from the bridge I stare at Verdun sitting on a huge bed ” was hoping you would love this for your honey moon?” He run his hand through his hair, he look nervous ” after we talked about the dagger I was discouraged to still show you but then I can’t be mad at you forever amor ”

Folding my hand I furrow my brows ” why will you even be mad? You should know I can’t kill you ”

” you can’t or you won’t ”

” I can’t ” exhaling I move towards the bed and sit on it, giving us enough personal space, we really need to talk about this ” you are not easy to kill Verdun ” pulling out the cursed dagger I stare at it ” maybe Brandon has no idea how strong you are ”

” hmm”

Turning my gaze to his direction I watch him lay down and stare at the sky, surprisingly they is no sun but its bright, blue bright ” what’s the hmm about huh ” getting annoyed he smile but still didn’t look at me.

” you know I amor you right ” he hiss out then smile ” is funny am dying because I feel that way” he turn and stare at me ” you know why I ask you that question earlier? ” shaking my head he exhale ” I will need you to use that dagger on me one day”

” I don’t understand ”

” I will need you to kill me one day ” he close his eyes ” we need to talk about this today then stop talking about it so that we can enjoy each other a little more ”

” Verdun I..”

” no Betty ” he grunt ” you will have to use that cursed dagger on me, the pain will eventually get worse and hard to bear, you will have to make it easy by stabbing me right in chest, where the heart lays ”

” what are you saying?” Betty gasp confused as to why he is telling her to do this, something this awful ” I will never do that, I can’t do that, not in this life” placing the dagger in his hands I try standing to my feet but he pull me back to the bed then pin my hands above my head while he stare down at me ” let go of me Verdun ” struggling out of his grip he use only his left hand to hold my hand above my head while his right hand move to my face.

” stop it Betty ”

” why will you say that, why will you ask me to kill you ” tears drop from my eyes ” you know I love you too much to think of hurting you ”

” I know, I shouldn’t have ask that from you ”

” can’t we find a solution to this issue?”

” no darling ” Verdun lean close and inhale my scent ” my wolf love your scent a lot, so unique ” meeting his gaze he lick my neck ” let’s make a promise Betty ”

” what is it?”

” from now on, we will stop talking about my illness, we should pretend am fine and nothing is wrong…okay ” I nod and he clean my tears ” did I tell you, you look ravishing today ”

” no ”

” you look ravishing” kissing my neck I gasp ” how did you picture your honeymoon to be, lots of cuddling, romance or ” he look at me, robbing my lower lip gently, my cheek redden ” you want lots of hot love making”

” I want you to read me a book ” mumbling he furrow his brows ” a romantic book, you will love it Verdun ” okay he wasn’t expecting that answer from me, he frown then withdraw a little.

” really, I was hoping you will choose the last part” smiling he exhale ” fine, which book do you want ”

” since they is no book here, just tell me a story, a fictional romance novel ”

Verdun watch how she sit up, fold her legs then wait, eyes glittering with joy, I will find a way to make her use that dagger on me but for now I just know am bad at this, how do I just start up a romance book ” well, a great king lived, he killed a lot of people…he derive joy from killing and then this lady came into his life, giving him all kinds of weird feeling, making him believe he is lovable, giving him hope and joy ”

” and??”

” well he died” running my hand through my hair I clear my throat ” he died to save the girl from death, his words were ‘ live for me ‘ ”

” wow ” Betty move closer, our face one inch apart from each ” did you just made that up?”

” yea” looking at her lips I swallow, I really want her but it looks like she is not in the mood, my cock is throbbing so bad, this is our honey moon, we are meant to know each other more intimately right? ” are you feeling fine”

” am fine Verdun ” she get off the bed, looking around, smiling ” this place is beautiful, thank you ” she turn around and smile, air swirl around making her hair move, adding more beauty to her.

” it is amor, so beautiful ” when she realize what am saying she blush straight to her neck ” have I told you how beautiful you look when you blush ”

” yes ” she bite her lower lip then tuck her hair behind her ear ” what do you want to do Verdun ”

” I want to have sex ”

” no shame ” she chuckle but I can see she is nervous, still not use to being free in that aspect with me, her gaze met mine and when she realize am serious she step back ” you mean right now??” I nod and she look around, face getting more red ” the dragons might see ”

After hearing that I couldn’t help but chuckle ” come ” when she step closer i pull her to my body ” the dragons can’t see anything, only me can see ” biting her lower lip I wink which got her blushing really hard.
