Chapter 9: Chapter 9: The crimson pact
In a small bedroom with deem light, two figures were embracing each other.... intimately, the moon light shining while rays of it slips into the room through the window
Both the the couples...or what they look like were strangely biting each other like vampires but aren't they already, it is naturally Eli and Selene whose intention was just to feed him blood to complete his transformation as it is not complete without drinking the blood of a true vampire that was why he didn't have the memories or more like instinct on how to use the abilities innate to a vampire
As they were both lost in pleasure of each other's blood
* BING*
Suddenly they both felt each other, like... not physically but on a spiritual level, their soul brushed over one another with a string forming from the connection, connecting both of them, as thin as the string is, it is indestructible
When the two sink their fangs into each other's neck, they exchanged more than blood, they fused memories, hunger, essence it was ancient, binding, irreversible
Selene was shocked with the connection as she knows what it is, it isn't like a slave and servant connection where she will have the upper hand in the connection but it is.... a marriage connection where they are both equal and he even has the edge in the connection
A marriage ritual isn't something that can be forced on someone, both the party must agree to it when they bit each other's neck connecting them in blood and soul
She unconsciously agreed to the ritual because she let her guard down around him but that wasn't enough to cause the ritual, something in him initiated the ritual forcefully, something that can only be done by the progenitor, her eyes were wide as she stared at him thinking what kind of monster have I created
In vampire tradition, the mutual bite is not just a mark—it is a vow
A bond is now born between them—hot and sharp, yet deeper than flesh. Their pulses align, their instincts entangle. They feel each other in the silence between heartbeats, taste the other's longing with every thirst
It is marriage by fang and flame.
It had been a mistake—or so she had told herself. A moment of passion and frenzy—when instincts overtook sense. They had bitten each other, neck to neck, fangs buried deep where blood flowed richest.
Their souls brushed. Their blood sang in harmony.
No priest, no altar. Only blood. And that was enough for the connection is formed already
Selene stepped back, breath shallow, gaze softened. "You've bound yourself to me," she whispered. "By our kind's law, by our blood—you are mine, and I am yours."
We are now married till eternity
Eli looked at her with a complicated expression, he isn't prepare to get married
but the bond was not just symbolic—it was real. Eli could sense her even when she wasn't there: the rhythm of her hunger, the storm of her thoughts, the flicker of her emotions. They were two bodies, but only one pulse
Ahhhhhh, he sighs, though he isn't prepare for this he isn't a b*tch that will run away from his responsibility as he knows he is the cause of this
Nodding his head he said till eternity my lovely Selene
Selene blushed because of his compliment, she was shocked by his boldness and the fact that he didn't shy away from what he did, but if what I saw when our soul touched each other was real then, his pride won't make him do that and this will be the start of his journey
I have never seen anything like that, and not to say everything in one person, this man.... No, my husband is a monster she thought
In vampire culture, mutual neck-biting is sacred, rare, and equivalent to marriage. It's not done lightly—it creates a blood-bound connection that even death may not sever, they can also feel each other's emotions from afar, if one is in danger, the other feels it faintly.
Eli looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and said are you not angry about what happened, although I don't really understand what happened but I know I am the cause of this
And that was the truth, although he didn't know why really happened, he knows that the cause of the incident was because he followed his instinct and his emotion when he initiated the ritual, the ritual process was accessed by him instinctually when he acquired the memories of the vampire race, he knows that he is somewhat different from an ordinary vampire because of his abilities
Like the fact that he forced a marriage ritual on a Progenitor's daughter without her being able to fight back, through she didn't fight back atall and some other abilities he has
Selene shook her head and said I am not angry at you because I know you didn't do it intentionally I am only dissatisfied with the fact that I didn't get the time to decide for my self and it is also my fault because we are both list in pleasure she said the last word in a meek tone with blish colouring her her cheeks making her look more dazzling to Eli
Looking at her inviting lips that feels like it was calling out to him with his hand still on her waist he leaned forward to catch her lips looking into her eyes, she closed her eyes while leaning forward slightly, taking it as an approval, leaning forward, he caught her lips with his kissing her deeply while being excited that he was getting a very beautiful vampire as his girlfri....No, as his wife he kissed her deeply, gently nibbing on her lips with his tongue persuading her to open up, although this was his first time kissing he has watched movies and stories with detailed explanation about it though the kiss was still slightly awkward with inexperience in it as she is his first kiss
As soon as she opened her mouth he used his tongue to infiltrate her mouth, not being one to accept defeat selene also brought out her tongue to clash with his, their kiss was deepening as the fight for dominance with their tongue begins, slurping their saliva with Eli's hand on her head and the other on her back and Selene wounding her arm around his neck
They kissed each other till they were out of breath, breaking their kiss they look at each other still breathing deeply I'm small gasps, they smiled then hug each other tightly
Eli was happy with the development not knowing when he started having the feeling he said "I think i like you selene" he said selene smiled at his words then said "I like you too Eli" she said
They were both smiling like fools who just discovered love not knowing their Feelings are being slightly affected by the bond
But is that really a bad thing?
