Chapter 3— Scared... 

Isabelle woke up and rubbed her head, aches all over her body and all of her body felt as if on sky but the eerie feeling she felt increased as her hazy eyes noticed where she was, the memories came all at a sudden and an ache with frightening shivers ran down her body from her neck making her aware of the mark that was on her neck and another shriek left her throat, she clutched her head screaming for this to be a lie. But alas the reality can never be what we wished, shouted or cried for.

Isabelle threw away the blanket and got down from bed running, stumbling to the door and tried opening it but the doors were locked from outside, she pulled, kicked, screamed and cried begging to open the door, someone to listen to her, her eyes so red, tears flowing down her face messing her beautiful face yet giving her face an undeniably beautiful glow, pale skin and red mixed, all looking too pleasing to the eye.

The butler outside heard the screams, cries and shouts, stood still with no expression, he can't overlook the orders and what happens in this girl's life doesn't concerns him, whether she lives or dies, its none of his business.

Isabelle slid down the door still pushing and crying while feeling numb, her one hand still clumsily pushed on the door as if the door would open but it didn't, her hopes of living from here are diminishing slowly and her tears were drying on her face, her eyes were swollen, all that crying blood loss and fear took its toll and she fell faint on the floor.

Alexander felt the feeling of helplessness from within, he understood his little mate has woken up, he thought of her face and his want to see her increased ten folds, so he got up and left exchanging pleasantries with the people of society, the purebloods congratulated him on his progress with the work on stopping the vampires from going on rampage and making humans more helpless to do anything against them not that they could but humans are measly creature who can go against you without a perfect reason, they don't need reason to fight and kill, their greed is enough.

Alexander reached the castle and smiled to himself, it was a curve of lips that no-one has ever seen on his lips, the maids who walked wishing him stopped short noticing the curve and one fainted from the brutal beauty show, even men weren't capable to stand the effect.

Alexander with his lean and perfectly managed physique, beautifully enhanced face with sharp features, in his white shirt and black slacks with a black windbreaker designed with a red phoenix broach that looked perfectly matched with his red outlined eyes and shiny sleek black hairs that were falling on his forehead, he was the definition of beauty.

Alexander looked at the butler standing out of his room and waved his hand signaling to leave and told him to not disturb him and not let anyone enter this corridor. Butler stone nodded and left for his work after completing his master's orders.

He noticed how his master was being possessive of the little maid. Master has definitely found his beloved. Butler stone smiled at his thought and left for his work.

Alexander looked at the girl lying on floor by the door. She looked so small, harmless and fragile, nothing like him. Alexander picked her up and she woke up. She looked up at him and struggled as much as she can and wiggled in his arms, angering Alexander in this, he threw her on bed and came on top of her as quickly he threw her.

Alexander looked at the girl still struggling under him, unaware of the havoc she is wreaking inside him. Alexander held her hands in his left hand and pinned them above her head and with his right he pushed her hairs off her face to see her beautiful face.

Isabelle looked at him in fear and anger. "What are you doing? Let me go, I didn't do anything wrong. Please!"

Alexander just kept looking at her, touching her face with his finger and to the mark he left on her. He finds her enchanting, even in her blood-filled dress, face full of tears.

He leaned more onto her but she turned her face away which angered the vampire above her so much yet he kept his calm and kissed her cheek, pulled her up with him. "you are my beloved, you should act according to it."

"Beloved?"

Isabelle looked ridiculed and more intent on running, she wants to go back to her mother. Alexander read her thoughts and pulled her more into him and fisted her hairs in his other hand, keeping his face in the crook of her neck, breathing deep. "I don't allow you to leave. Understood?"

"I want to go to my parents. Please! Leave me..."

Isabelle's words were nothing but mere foolish love she has for other people who are now nothing to her. According to Alexander, he is her everything now and no one can love her beside him.

Alexander's thoughts were pulled to stop when Isabelle pushed him away and ran towards the door, and as she opened it, Alexander was beside her. Holding her hairs, Alexander looked at the eyes that are filled with fear— of him.

"Alright, I'll take you to your parents, get ready. We are leaving in fifteen minutes from now."

Alexander had butler stone run Isabelle a bath and gave her a new dress. If having her with him forever costs taking her to her parents for a while, he will.

Afterall, sacrifices should be made. Alexander thought before making Niklaus aware of his plan for both of them.

Isabelle got ready and still wary of Alexander, she searched for Perry, she has to tell her and take her to home.

Isabelle finally found Perry and pulled her to the carriage that Alexander got ready for her and step inside it with her, Perry asked her questions but Isabelle pulled her and made her keep quite for a while, as they sat, Alexander too came with them. No questions were asked from anyone anymore, Alexander kept looking at Isabelle while thinking of the future.
