99 Love: A fools path- Part 2 (2/2)

Taking one step away from her as if suddenly he had turned back into a gentleman, he let her have the space she needed before she turned around to face him.

”Why?” she whispered in question, not looking at him, ”I mean-We are still in the truce, aren't you worried about it?” She asked him.

If he was keeping the mark hidden it meant they were going to carry ahead the plan of the truce like they had previously spoken. He could have waited but instead he had gone and bonded with her, and with that she feared many things. She hadn't told him anything yet, nothing about her or the Duke who had asked her to kill the lord.

Heidi remembered the conversation she had with Nicholas when Warren had first explained about Rhys and Lettice.

Lord Nicholas said, ”Soul bonds are very unique and you can't give it to anyone you want. It can take place only if the person is in love. You won't find many though.”

”Because vampire's don't fall in love like humans,” she said.

”That's right.”

If every word he had uttered to her were true until now then did that mean...Heidi felt blood and heat both rush up her neck to her face. Her heart beating faster with the truth she had just found out by herself.

”Seems like you already found your answer, darling,” Nicholas hadn't said it out loud but it was clear as day that he loved her. The lord was in love with her, ”Stanley wouldn't be happy if he found out the water had been running down for more than five minutes.”

”Ah, yes,” a shocked Heidi answered in a daze.
