Tempting Fate

39 Chapter 39: Don’t Touch My Queen

A man sat with Avery on his lap. As the man massaged Avery’s neck with his finger, two hands rested on the man’s shoulders. Each pulsation from Avery’s vein in her neck was savored.

“Have you heard what happened to soul eaters in the past?” A man asked. It was one of their fellow vampires, a few years younger than them.

“I heard that,” said the man standing next to Jasmin. While the man caressed Jasmin’s neck, she was unconscious and laying on the sofa.

“Why are you frightened of the person who murdered them?” Eldrick asked, hugging Avery. “Do you even know who he is?”

Kiel chuckled. “Do you know there’s a more interesting woman besides that woman, Eldrick?” Kiel said. This is who hugging Jasmin.

Eldrick looked at Kiel. “Really?”

Kiel smiled. “That’s proven, Eldrick. When I was following those two, I also saw that woman. Her aura is powerful, and her blood is pungent even when we are outside the building.” Steve said.

“In that case, let’s bring her here,” Eldrick said.

“I have havea plan,” Steve said.

When Reed and Maria arrive at the location where the vampires may have abducted Jasmin and Avery, they are no longer there. But the traces of them remain. Reed turned to face Maria, but she remained silent.

Reed took a deep breath. “Look at their house; they could already be there,” Reed said.

Mary suddenly vanished in front of him. Reed moved throughout the home, inspecting every room. Maria afterward returned and approached him instantly.

“They’re at home,” Maria said.

Reed moved his gaze to Maria. “Is that so?”

Reed and Maria hastily exited the home. When the three vampires came, Eldrick placed Emy on the sofa.

Meanwhile, when Maria and Reed arrive at Avery and Jasmin’s residence, they see her comfortably asleep in their room. Reed took a peek at Maria before approaching the two. Reed parted Avery’s neck hair, while Maria parted Jasmin’s hair. They couldn’t find any fang marks on their necks. Reed rose up and looked at the two of them.

“They don’t have a bite, my king,” Maria told him.

“Are you sure the vampire snatched them earlier?” Reed asked.

“I didn’t make a mistake, my king,” Maria told him.

Reed slipped both of his hands into his jeans pocket. “It seems you made a mistake now,” Reed said.

Maria couldn’t believe it; she was certain of what she saw. Reed patted Maria on the shoulder. He understands how she feels.

“Let’s go home, Maria,” Reed said.

Reed looked away from Maria and moved away, and she vanished. Maria locked her gaze on the two women.

Reed took a peek around the room. Emy was not in bed, so she searched the bathroom for her, but there was no sign of her. Reed stepped out of the room; it was dark in the entire house and no one was in the living room presumably asleep. He sought Emy in the restroom, kitchen, living room, library, and theater room, but she was nowhere to be found. He also left the home and walked to the pool, but he did not see Emy.

When Mary arrives, she notices Reed standing outside the home. “My king, what are you doing here?” Maria asked.

“Emy isn’t in her room,” Reed said.

“I shall search for her, my king,” Maria said before abruptly disappearing.

Maria later reappeared and appeared beside him. “The queen is in the room.”

Reed glared and then abruptly vanished next to Mary. When he entered the room, Emy was blissfully sleeping.

“I’m leaving, my king,” Mary said before immediately disappearing next to Reed.

Reed stood next to Emy’s bed, staring at her. He was certain Emy had not been there previously. He took a deep breath and glanced at the room’s glass door. The wind blows the existing curtain. Reed approached it and then exited the room. He glanced around, but there was no one else nearby. He returned his gaze inside the room to Emy.

When Emy emerged from the restroom the next day, she was shocked to discover Reed standing at the room’s door. He instantly grasped her hip and drew Emy closer to her body. Reed’s actions took Emy by surprise. Reed separated his hair and cocked her neck slightly. Emy assumed Reed was about to kiss her, but when she performed the same thing on the opposite side of her neck, it was as if he was looking for something in there.

“What are you doing, Reed?” Emy asked.

Reed become furious when he saw the mark on Emy’s neck. He released Emy. Reed’s face had darkened, she noticed. She became uneasy.

“Please tell me, Wifey. Do you allow anybody else to enter our house?” Reed asked.

Emy paused for a beat before shaking her head. “Nothing. Is there anybody else coming here? Avery and Jasmin haven’t even been here..” Emy said. “Why? ”

Reed grasped his head and turned his back on Emy. Reed then vanished. Emy was confused by what had occurred. The land was soon dark.

Meanwhile, Reed was standing on a lofty skyscraper after returning from the vampires’ hideaway. It enraged him at the time. If the weather was excellent earlier, the surroundings are now gloomy. Even without thunder, a sequence of lightning strikes illuminated the dark sky. Mary will arrive later. At that location, the wind got up.

“Find out where those cretins are hiding,” Reed said. “They aren’t running away.”

“My king, what do you want me to do with them?” Mary asked.

“If you find them, do nothing, I will punish and kill them,” Reed said.

Mary chose not to respond, instead of leaving it in front of Reed. Jasmin contacted Reed after Maria had departed. His phone rang a few times.

‘Damn it, Jasmin,’ Reed thought. He yelled as he yanked the phone from his pocket. Jasmin was the one who called, she was correct.

“Sir, Miss Emy, and Avery...” Reed introduced himself. Reed frowned and then vanished from the roof of the building.

Outside the building, Jasmin was standing. Reed took hold of Jasmin’s shoulder. It screamed in fear. Reed instantly grabbed his shoulder and ushered him inside the door.

“Jasmin, stop...” replied Reed, but Jasmin continued to yell. Reed smacked Jasmin with his hand lifted. Jasmin stopped screaming and glanced at Reed.

It broke down, and Reed met. As they neared Reed, it suddenly shouted out and trembled its hands.

“Tell me what happened,” Reed asked.

“Some men kidnapped Avery and Miss Emy,” Jasmin explained. They emerged out of nowhere within the building, then bit them... ”

“Oh, darn it!” Reed’s enraged curse. He lifted his hand and pressed it against the glass walls and doors. Even the closure sign closes it on purpose. That surprised Jasmin, and the mat became terrified. Jasmin became unconscious after black smoke entered her ear. Reed walked away when it dropped to the floor.

Reed goes back to the vampires’ hideout. When she watched Maria battling the two vampires while Avery was unconscious and her neck was bloodied and another vampire was holding Emy, black smoke burst out of her body, as well as the wounds she suffered in the combat. Emy’s moan could be heard as the vampire drained the blood from her neck. They were in another area of the ancient estate, and Emy was lying on the sofa when the vampire attacked her.

Reed did not turn to face Mary. He instantly twisted one vampire’s neck and turned to confront the other. Inside the mansion, the wind rose up, and all of the possessions were flung out as black smoke grew. Eldrick did not know he’d be lifted into the air and smacked into the wall. He collapsed to the ground and instantly went in search of the attacker who had done this to him. She fixed her gaze on Reed.

“You?” Eldrick asked, surprised.

Eldrick recognized the man approaching him, who was surrounded by black smoke. Everyone knows him. Other demons feared him.

‘What is he doing in the world of people? Why is he angry? ‘ Eldrick thought.

Reed raised his hand, and Eldrick’s feet lifted off the ground again. He turned to his companions. They were dead, and a woman was standing nearby. He looked at Reed again.

He would even ask what Reed was doing in the world of people as he gradually cut his neck and black smoke entered his mouth. He felt the drying of all the flesh on his body. It started with his tongue until his vision darkened.

“No one can touch my queen. One scratch, one life,” said Reed after the wind stopped throughout the mansion.

Reed quickly approached Emy and let out black smoke from his hand. It went into Emy’s neck wound and so did Mary to Avery. A few moments later, the fang mark on Jasmin’s neck disappeared. Reed frowned and immediately picked up Emy and so did Maria.

“Take her home and I’ll take care of the Queen.” after Reed said there, Reed disappeared in front of Maria.
