My Most Precious Human

Chapter 61

I drove carefully. The last thing I wanted was to attract the police's attention. I didn't care much about

getting a ticket for driving without a license, but it would delay getting into the Calvet estate, and

Sariel's time was running out quickly. Fortunately, the road was empty. I took a turn onto a private road

leading up a hill. I kept glimpsing at Sariel, watching him lose and regain his awareness while breathing

heavily as the poison slowly corrupted his heart. I was terrified. I didn't know what I was doing. I only

hoped that taking Sariel to the Calvet's estate was the right move.

Perhaps I should have cut my neck and then placed my bleeding flesh underneath Sariel's teeth.

Perhaps I should have done it, but I was a coward. The last thing I wanted was to force him, and I

couldn't bear it if he started to hate me. That was why I was willing to do whatever I could to save him

without doing a single thing against him. Using my blood was my last resort.

Finally, I stopped at the huge gate. There was a stone on the left side of it. I knew I needed Sariel's

blood to drive further, but could I do anything to hurt him while his condition already seemed critical?

"Sariel?" I gently patted his shoulder, hoping that he would stay conscious just a little longer. "I need

your blood to take you to the estate," I muttered hesitantly.

He seemed semi-conscious as if he could understand my words, but he was like an empty shell,

automatically following instructions without emotional contribution. He opened a glove box and took out

a beautiful knife with a carved wooden handle. He looked at me with a blank stare and made a deep

cut on the inner side of his palm. I flinched watching his entire hand painting in red. He gently handed

me the bloodied knife without saying a word. I gulped, then got out of the car while carrying the knife. I

stood in front of the stone and saw a little hole on top of it. I brought the knife right above the hole and

let the drops of Sariel's blood drop from its edge. A few seconds later, the gate started to open. I sighed

in relief.

I didn't even ask Gabriel if there was anyone living on the estate. Some part of me counted on the help

of Calvet's servants. I was certain that any of them would be more experienced in matters of saving

vampire's life than me.

As soon as we drove to the mansion's territory, the gate closed. I parked in front of the entrance of a

magnificent residence that resembled another castle, only slightly more humble.

"Hello? Is anyone there?" I called out as I got out of the car.

No one answered. I should have expected that much. In normal circumstances, I would love to stay

alone with the guy that made the butterflies in my stomach fly endlessly, but not now. At that moment, I

was more than terrified.

I opened the door on the passenger’s side. "Sariel, I will save you, but I need your help. Do you

understand me?" I said those words and prayed that he'd reply.

He slightly nodded his head and got out of the car. He did it while clenching his teeth and making a

painful grimace, but still, he wouldn't let me touch him. He didn't say a word, just walked towards the

entrance while swaying on his feet. Every time I wanted to make him lean on me, he would push me

away. He then entered the main hall, stepped as far as the stairs, and collapsed onto the floor.

"Sariel!" I rushed to him, reaching out my arms to help him get up.

He stopped me with his strong glare.

"The storage is downstairs... The password is… 082175," he mumbled while heavily panting.

I nodded and dashed downstairs, looking for the door with a code locker. I found one at the end of the

corridor. I entered the code Sariel gave me and the door opened. I was beyond happy. I could actually

save him. I ran towards a big refrigerator and opened it.

"Two blood bags… There are only two blood bags," I muttered fearfully.

I didn't know how much blood Sariel needed to satisfy his hunger, not to mention if this much was

enough to cure his silver poisoning. Nonetheless, I took both bags and rushed upstairs. I took the first

bag, opened it, and slipped its pinhole into his lips. As soon as he felt the blood on the tip of his tongue, This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

he emptied the whole bag. It took him a second. I handed him the second bag. He gazed at me with

fire in his eyes. I liked it far better than his blank, lifeless stare. A faint smile appeared on my face. My

heart started to race at the mere thought that I might have saved his life.

"Thank you…" he murmured, licking off the final drop of blood from his lips.

"Don't. It was you who saved my life… again. I'm just glad that drinking that much blood helped you." I

smiled, relieved.

He smirked and got up from the floor. I was so relieved that I almost collapsed at his place. He saw me

stumble and instantly reached out his hand to support me. It was clear that he had regained his

strength.

"We will stay here tonight. I will contact my people to deliver more blood to the estate," Sariel stated.

"Well, about that…" I smiled awkwardly and then told him everything I heard from Gabriel.

Sariel's rage was obvious. The fact that the attacks had happened the exact time Sariel was out of the

city, busy saving me was almost too convenient for those who planned it. Did Sariel's enemies

collaborate with the werewolves, just like the Adragnas did? Was my kidnapping set just to lure Sariel

out of New Argent City? Things became even more complicated again…

Sariel led me to the upper floor.

"My room is opposite to yours. You will find some women's clothes in the closet since Dominique tends

to use them… I bet that she used most of the blood supplies while she was here last time." A full-of-

annoyance smile painted on Sariel's face.

He opened the door to his room, but stopped at the threshold and looked at me.

"Take a shower and come to my room." He smirked and closed the door behind him.

My jaw literally dropped. Sariel's words sent an immediate wave of excitement to the most sensitive

parts of my body. My one-track mind displayed the lewdest possible images, and there was no way I

could get rid of them any time soon. I definitely needed a shower… a cold one!

I washed off the blood and mud from my skin and hair, then walked to the closet, hoping to find

something I could wear. There were revealing lace dresses, deep neckline dresses, deep slit dresses,

and dresses with a zipper going through all the length of the dress…

"Seriously?! Wearing any of them is like an obvious sex invitation!" I panicked, looking at the choice

that I had.

Finally, I chose a simple black dress with thin arm strips. It had a deep neckline, but I tied the strips

slightly higher, just to make sure my nipples were fully covered. Still, I felt uncomfortable wearing it and

even more uncomfortable considering the fact that Sariel was about to see me in that dress.

I stood for about a minute in front of his door before I decided to knock. I inhaled and exhaled deeply,

ineptly trying to soothe my heart before entering. I knocked.

"Come in, Lilith." I heard Sariel's voice.

I walked into his chamber. He was sitting on the bed, drying his hair with a towel. His black shirt was

slightly unbuttoned, partially revealing his massive collarbones and muscled chest.

"Sit down, Lilith." He smirked, pointing at the armchair opposite his bed.

I smiled nervously and sat down. I could see him devouring me with his eyes as if I was sitting there

naked in front of him. Unknowingly, I clenched my thighs. Arousal was rising within me.

"I talked to Leo," Sariel said all of a sudden.

"Y-yes?" I smiled awkwardly, trying to hide the fact that my mind was elsewhere.

"The castle was attacked as well. He didn't contact me since my army had to deal with it," he stated,

angrily clenching his teeth.

"Attacked the castle?" I repeated fearfully, "Is everyone all right?"

"Their aim was the blood bags. They blew up the entire east wing, along with the blood supplies," he

explained, while his rising anger made his pupils glow red.

I gasped. The castle was one of the best-secured places I had ever seen, and yet someone entered it

and managed to carry out an attack. The attack on the castle happened at the exact same time that the

blood banks in New Argent City were destroyed. Whoever did this must have held an amazing amount

of resources and power.

"Those attacks were a message." Sariel sighed heavily. "Somebody wants to challenge me, proving

that I'm not worthy of taking over the vampire throne."

"Do you have any idea of who might it be?" I asked nervously.

"All of the attackers were killed or committed suicide, so we don't have clear proof yet, but I have my

own assumptions," Sariel smirked coldly.

I loved this wicked expression on his face. It was making him increasingly more attractive. I could

barely sit in front of him and look into his eyes when he was like that. He certainly was the hottest man I

had ever seen. The way he sat on the bed with his messy hair and undone shirt made me think of

needing another cold shower. My arousal grew when I saw the moonlight reflecting off his porcelain

skin… I flinch.

"Oh no…" A sudden realization flooded me with anxiety and fear.

With the moon rising high, the blue lines appeared on his chest and neck again. This time the poison

acted faster than I had ever seen before. I gulped, watching the lines paint his skin with strokes that

became thicker and thicker…

"Sariel…" I muttered in fright.

He growled in pain, pressing his hand to his chest. I ran to him, nervously examining his skin. I took his

hand away and saw the skin in the place of his heart getting darker. The lines at the center of his chest

were no longer blue; they were black.

"Why is this happening?!" I cried out.

"The full moon…" Sariel hissed, squirming in agony, "It's making the poison… more effective…"

"What can I do?" I asked, shivering.

"I need… more blood…" he murmured, cringing on the bed.

"There are no more blood bags…" I muttered, watching him suffer.

My heart ached, reflecting his pain. It was unbearable. I took a deep breath.

"Sariel…" My trembling voice made him focus his eyes on me. "The only human blood you can drink

right now runs in my veins."

As his pupils became overflown by the dark-red shade, his stare devoured me completely. I only hoped

that I would survive his bloodlust…
