The Vampire Prince | Book One ✔ (Needs Editing)

I Love You | Chapter 34

"I'm pregnant!" I cried out and his fight, his evil expression, it all disappeared into thin air.

He quickly and desperatly bit into his wrist and fed me his blood. My wounds healed quickly but my tears didn't stop flowing. The pain was left to linger as if he was still harming my body.

"What are you talking about?" He demanded. I chewed my lip, grabbed his hand and pressed it to my stomach where I allowed our unborn child to do the rest.

His eyes appeared empty as he listened. I glanced over my shoulder at Max, then to Christian who focused his attention on Stark. His shocked expression said it all. He hated me more than before.

Max was emotionless in a corner as he watched the scene unfold before him.

"It's human?" He asked angrily.

"I-I don't know. I'll have to find out the day of the birth unless I see a doctor." I sighed.

I was uneasy. I didn't want it to come to this. It should have never come to this; the plan was simple, escape and hide among werewolves and humans.

I frowned while chewing my bottom lip.

"It has a heartbeat. It's defiently human—" He began.

"You don't know that! Don't try and accuse my our child of being human or vampire. Please allow us until the day of the birth before you determine whether you wish to have us or not." I sighed.

His jaw clenched as he shook his head. His anger was rising and there was no way he could possibly clam down.

"Christian! Send her to her cage. She doesn't deserve life, nor does this child. I already have one on the way, a true PureBlood. Let this dirty slave rot in her cell." Julian insisted.

Christian quickly grabbed me and began pulling me away.

"You sick fuck!" I shouted. Max stood as he watched me get carried away. The chance to escape was truly fading before my eyes. I cried as I clutched onto Christian's arm while he practically dragged me.

"I warned you." Christian growled while dragging me down to my cell. I cried as he threw me inside and slammed the door shut. The cell seemed smaller, seemed as if it was darker.

"Well, at this point, There isn't any reason to continue to fight anymore. Shit has been going downhill for a while now, I can't do anything to prevent that monster from having his way." I sighed as I curled into a ball.

"Don't worry, I won't pity you. You got yourself into this mess once again. So take your punishment." He growled.

"He raped me! He forced this all on me! He forced me to carry this child! I would never habe been in this position if you and your brother would have just kept your fucking distance!" I shouted. I was angry. Angry that I was forced into living like this.

I tucked the end of my dress under my feet in order to keep them warm from the cold stone floor. I glanced at Christian and frowned.

"Why'd he kill that girl too? Why is he acting like a lunatic all of a sudden lately!?" I shouted.

"She wasn't answering his questions regarding you." He admitted.

"He can shove his questions up his ass. He's a lunatic! He has no mercy and no regret! And you, you're his stupud servent that stands by while it all happens. It's disgusting!" My anger was rising to a whole new level talking to this fool.

Christian sighed and disappeared from sight.

I was alone again. Left to rot away in this dark, cold cell. No more plans, I was out of schemes to get me out of these ridiculous situations.

Life was meaninglessness in this world, except the fact that I had to protect this unborn child; and that's what will keep me going even when I'm ready to call it quits.

"What the hell kind of life is this," I glanced at the ceiling, "Mom, dad, I miss you. I'm sorry. Things didn't go to plan from the moment the vampires over ruled the humans, I'm glad you're not here to experience this horror." I whispered as tears spilled down my cheeks staining my pale skin.

I slammed my fist into the hard floor and rested my head against the wall. They would be ashamed, not just ashamed but disgusted with my life.

"I-I'm sorry, please forgive me. I never wanted any of this to happen." I cried. My voice was barely able to escape as the lump in my throat warned me not to speak.

Hot tears continued down my cheeks and dripped off my chin. I covered my face, the tears wouldn't stop. I was overwhelmed and couldn't control myself anymore. All the emotions I had bottled up since the moment I met Julian has finally been released.

"It's not your fault." A familiar vouce echoed in the dark. I perked up and moved close to the bars.

"Stark?" I asked.

It was him, there was no way I could mistake him for anyone else.

"Shh. He'll hear us," He whispered as he appraoched the cell and emerged from the shadows with a frown, "I got you into this mess and I intent to get you out of it? Okay?"

I nodded and wiped my tears.

"He'll kill you and your family if he finds out—"

"He won't," Stark reached through the bars and carrassed my cheek in the palms of his hands, "I'll protect you. Don't worry about me."

"I-I have to worry about you, Stark I —" I tried to tell him my honest feelings but he smiled sadly.

"I love you — please wait a few days. I'll come and get you out of here, I promise that you and this child will survive." He turned to leave but I grasped his hand.

"Stark, I love you too. Please be safe. I can't lose you... I can't." I whimpered. He nodded and vanished leaving the cold to consume me.

The tingling sensation from his touch began to fade and my heart sank as I missed it, I missed him.

I love you.

I smiled and closed my eyes. He'll be back, he'll come back for me. The man who watched over me and protected me behind the scenes. He loved me the way that I loved him.

Stark, don't do anything stupid. I can't lose you.
