Loved By a Vampire King

In the land of Richalwolf Land, the scene surprised and overwhelmed Isabella's heart at the same time. As soon as she landed from his cozy embrace in front of a large mansion, a group of toddlers ran over to Silas who had a now broad smile hanging on his face. Isabella wandered that she had ever seen him smiling so big and proudly after she started living in Vallodisan. But it wasn't the first attention that she got from there. Her eyes swiped on the toddlers one by one. Most of them were around 5-6 years old at their age.

For a span of moment, Isabella's heart ached for her own child who would have probably grown up at their ages if he was still alive. But sorrow didn't last longer when one of them shouted reffering at Isabella who stood away from them,

" Father brought his girlfriend, look over there!"

Then all those little curious eyes fell on Isabella who was shocked then didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her mind recalled the piece of information that she collected when she decided to end her life. At that time, Silas mentioned as a matter of fact that he ran an orphanage. But she was surprised to find out that they called him 'father'. It wasn't unsual since he took care of them but someone as cold like Silas didn't look like Dad material.

Silas was speechless by their wild imaginations. He planned to introduce her formally but this kids always thought hundred steps far from him. Silas quickly warned them after giving Isabella an apologizing smile,

" Children, behave! She is our guest. What did I teach you, god?"

They immediately shut off upon hearing the cold warning from their father but their curious eyes didn't leave Isabella alone for a while. Isabella flashed a big smile at them. Walking over to them slowly, she introduced herself crunching down to meet their heights,

" Hi babies! I am Isabella from Basarisk. You heard about the land, right? Well, I am your father's friend."

Isabella used her baby voice when she spoke to them. Her easy going behavior quickly snatched the hearts of those little children who were afraid of approaching her. The children returned her a big smile and began to introduce themselves on their own.

Silas watched them in amusement as how Isabella interacted with them so easily. She was extremely childish when she chatted with them. This scene moved his heart deeply. Sometimes mistake can lead you to the best thing that ever happened in your life.

Silas explained to Isabella after the kids ran around the corner to play with their toys,

" Most of their parents were soldiers or either abandoned them. Since there is no one around to take their responsibilities, I decided to open an orphanage for them. The responsibilities are taken care of by our family. Each year, I celebrate the festival with them so that they don't feel lonely or abandoned in this world."

Isabella saw the sorrow, affection in his eyes. She appreciated his attempt from the bottom of her heart,

" I think, you have done the best for them. Look at them! I can tell that they are living a good life."

Silas gave her a long, thoughtful look. Stepping closer, he spoke again gesturing at the kids with his chin,

" I wanted you to meet them to show you that you aren't the most miserable one in this world. You wanted your child but look at them. Some of their parents didn't want them and left them alone in the forests. They have no one to care for except me or they have no family to rely on. Do you think that your fate is more miserable than them?"

Isabella pressed her lips together tightly and hung her head down. She looked at the kids from the corner of her eyes and saw them laughing, running without worries. They didn't even know that they weren't welcomed by this world.

Silas exhaled a heavy sigh and looked up at her to speak again,

" I am sorry if my words hurt you. Sometimes you need to hurt someone to show them the truth."

Isabella sighed and nodded with understanding. Think of everything again, she realized that she had so many people to love her but they had no one. She murmured looking up at Silas with her bright smile,

" Thank you for bringing here. I really love to see them smiling. Can I go to them?"

Silas chuckled melting just by looking at her excited expression,

" Of course, they are all yours and me too."

The last part of his words slipped out invoulantarily without even his own consent. Isabella was startled, shocked by his words and didn't know how to respond to him. Silas coughed lightly and corrected nervously, Google search ƒ𝑟𝑒𝙚𝚠e𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃𝑒𝚕. c𝒐𝒎

" I mean..You can also hire me to play if you want.."

Isabella chuckled without pointing at the worry in his eyes. After that, she walked to the kids and helped them to fly the lanterns that they prepared for the festival. Silas stayed by their side, gave them their own space to enjoy since it was her first time being with those kids.

After they flew a good number of lanterns, Isabella sat down with the kids on the ground and heard their chitchat as they wanted to share with her. Among them, a girl with big round eyes asked Isabella who noticed that most of them were getting sleepy,

" Sister Isabella, have you seen my father's claw?"

Isabella was little taken back by the question as it was no related question to their gossip. She replied patiently without getting irritated,

" No, why do you ask? Aren't you afraid of claws?"

The girl was named Lara who was picked up from the street after her parents were died under a rogue attack. Lara nodded her head once admitting and kept her tone low when she replied to Isabella,

" I did once. You know what? Father can shift into a big giant wolf. I have asked him many times to show me once more but he never agrees. Can you ask him to shift for me once, please? I have never seen something so big like before. Even my parents weren't so big wolf like him."
