Bride of the vampire
Chapter thirty one

[ DAMIEN'S POV]

I was dancing with her, admiring her all perfect round and beautiful face.

How can someone be this perfect and beautiful? She was too innocent for a sinner like me. I held her waist tight like she was going to slip away from me anytime soon. Her scent was slowly driving me nuts. The smell of her blood was... ... delicious.

Carlo came out of nowhere and whispered something into my ear.

I looked at Crystal worriedly.

"Princess, I have something to take care of. I promise I will be quick." I pecked her forehead and left with Carlo.

"Is she the girl?" He asked, looking at me with anger visible in his eyes.

Why was he angry?

"What girl?". I replied coldly.

"Is she crystal?". He yelled.

"Watch your tone when talking to me. And what if she's crystal?". I said

I was slowly getting angry.

"Then why the heck did you bring her here? You know things always get bloody every year at the ball. But still you bought her. Do you want her dead?". He yelled again.

"If I had left her at home. Her life will still be in danger. The media already took pictures of us together. Being with me is the only way to protect her". I roar

"No no, that's where you are wrong, being with you only means her death and our family fall. No one can ever survive with you, not even Max or Olivia did". He hissed angrily and left I felt my heart crushed in pain at the mention of Olivia's name

I was only trying to save her. I didn't mean for her to end up like that.

Even though I want to say he's wrong, he was right, no one has ever survived long with me. It's either they die or they end up like ... ... Olivia.

I made a phone call to my men

"I will be leaving soon. Tighten the security". I order

I walk back to the dance floor, only to see Liam dancing with her.

My blood boils in anger. How dare he touch what's mine.

"Which part of your body will you like me to cut off? Your hand? For touching her waist. Or your legs? For dancing with her". I roar angrily. "Damien". Crystal called

Oh devil. My name has never sounded so sweet before.

"We were just dancing". She said, hugging me

As our bodies touched, my little man responded, making me groan.

I saw Liam gripped his teeth together angrily

"I have made a promise that when next I see you, you won't go unwounded. But...." I closed my eyes and inhale her scent

"You're lucky, I'm with her or else....".

I knew by now my eyes will be completely black as I noticed Liam shivers back in fear.

"Things will get bloody ".

"Let's go mi amore". I said, holding her by the waist.

I had to leave early inorder to avoid the bloody night. Putting her life in danger is the last thing I would do.

We walked into the car as I noticed someone walking away in the shadows.

I quickly start the car, signalling my men to get ready. Taking another route to my house. Driving straight to my safe house will be a bad decision.

I stopped my car, checking the safe for the bag of guns.

"Damien what... ".

"Keep quiet". I shush her. I handed her a gun.

She stared at me in shock with the gun in her hands as she was shaking invisibly.

"Listen, promise some men are after us. Just stay in the car.".

"Whatever you do. Just do come out of the car please. If anyone besides me tries to open or come near you. Make sure you shoot them. None of my men will come near you either ok?". I asked to her She nodded scared.

"And if anything happens to me. Remember to save yourself first". I instruct her.

She gave me a pleading look and wanted to say something but I had no time for that.

I gave a small kiss and got out of the car.

I started firing at the enemy. Some of my men were already injured.

I had no idea who the men were? And why they were after me. Was it because of crystal?.

"Damien ". I heard a whisper.

"Damien". I heard her screamed in pain

I turned back at once as I saw her blood dropping on the ground. My heart sank at once.

No no no I told her to stay in the car. Why did she come out?

She has been shot!! Carlo was right, her being with me means her death.

Her knee crumbled to the ground. I ran over to her and held her before she could fall.

"No no no baby. Don't close your eyes". I plead.

"Look at me crystal. Fucking look at me". I yelled.

She smiled faintly as she slipped into unconsciousness.

Her body felt light against his hands.

Damien looked up at the man who shot her with his eyes completely black

"You shouldn't have done that". His voice thundered out like there were a thousand of him speaking at the same time.
