Chapter 41

Cole was losing control.

He had his dad pinned against the wall.

"Why? Why didn't you kill us the way you killed our mom? The only thing you care about is your damn reputation!" Cole yelled.

"You wanted to get Larissa married to me but none of you cared about her happiness. You didn't care about mine either so we simply made your wrongs right," Cole said. He was already choking the life out of his dad.

"The only mistake you made today was calling mom worthless. I'll kill you just the way you killed her," Both his eyes and his voice grew darker with every word.

Just then, Rhea rushed in.

"Cole! Let him go!" Rhea screamed at him.

"But before I kill you, I'll ask you again. Where did you hide Rhea all these years?" Cole said, ignoring Rhea's plea.

"I told you already... I found her in the woods and took care of her till she was ready to meet you." Cole's dad choked out.

"Lies! All lies! When I met Rhea, she didn't look taken care of, she looked battered! What did you do to her?" Cole yelled, continuously choking his dad.

Rhea screamed in annoyance, making Cole stop in the process. She crouched down as tears began to stream down her face.

"Cole, stop... Please. He'll die if you don't stop. Please-" Rhea pleaded.

"Why are you protecting him? He obviously harmed you,", Cole said, his features softening a little.

"He's still our dad," Rhea said.

"He killed mom and harmed you and-" Cole stopped mid sentence.

"He killed mom?" Rhea asked, confirming what she'd just heard.

"Um, Rhea, calm down, okay?" Cole said.

Rhea stood up.

"He killed mom," She said lowly.

Then I noticed her eyes change color just like Cole's did when his pureblood was provoked.

Rhea had their dad pinned up against the wall in a millisecond.

"You monster! You actually killed mom and then you abused me!". Rhea said.

With that statement, Cole's pureblood got provoked too.

If someone didn't step in, this place was going to get really bloody. Seemingly, two purebloods were on the loose.

Cole flung their dad across the room.

"I'll make sure I kill you!" Cole growled.

"How?" Cole's dad questioned. "How could you two be pureblood?"

"How could you be pure blooded like her?" He questioned again.

"You killed mom because she was pureblood?" Rhea asked.

"So what? Pureblood means danger. She was dangerous, that's why I killed her. You two are dangerous, I'll kill you too,"

With that being said, he charged full force towards Cole and Rhea, baring his fangs at them.

Maybe he forgot that he was dealing with pureblood vampires 'cause they both had faster reflexes so they had him tackled down in no time.

"Stop!" Someone's voice thundered, making them stop.

Everyone in the room bowed.

It was Lord Dexter.

"What's happening here?" Lord Dexter.

Moron, are you blind?

I thought.

Cole bared his fangs at Lord Dexter. He obviously didn't like him either.

"Oh, the pureblood prince-" Lord Dexter started but then he looked at Rhea too.

"You're pureblood too?" He said, surprised. "The pureblood siblings and their father,"

I initially thought Cole's dad was pureblood. I guess he was not. So Cole was actually the only pureblood male.

"This action of yours is highly despicable and unwelcome. Take them away," Lord Dexter ordered.

A two black suited men stepped forward and after a lot of effort, they attached a collar to Cole's neck. Luckily, Rhea bit one of them and quickly helped Cole remove the collar while he was still tending for his bitten hand. Before the other man could get hold of them, Cole had been freed and he retreated.

"Dexter, you should know you have no right to imprison me in my house." Cole growled though  his pureblood had been temporarily tamed.

"I had to do that to make sure you didn't harm others in your... condition." Lord Dexter said.

Cole looked around.

"What are you all doing in my room? Get out!" Cole said to the little crowd that had gathered there.

So there was only me, Cole, Rhea, their dad, Lord Dexter and Malcolm left in the room.

"In case you haven't been informed, Lord Woods and Valeria Woods have signed up a complaint against you." Lord Dexter said.

"Their complaint is invalid because their daughter is also involved". Cole stated.

"Then don't forget to tell that to the court. First court hearing is three nights before the blood moon". Lord Dexter said.

Blood moon? What's blood moon?

How come I never heard of it before?

"Whatever. Leave my room". Cole said to Lord Dexter.

"I will but remember, though you're pureblood, I'm still ranked higher than you. You should respect me". Lord Dexter said.

"We'll see about that," Cole said. "Leave now".

Lord Dexter left.

Cole turned to look at their dad.

"Leave before I change my mind," He said.

He scrambled out of the room.

Cole rushed to Rhea.

"Are you okay?" He asked, concerned.

"I guess," Rhea said and walked over to me.

"I'm sorry you had to see that". She apologized.

"Nothing I haven't seen before". I said reassuringly.

"Well, I'll leave now". Rhea said.

"I'll see you later". Cole told Rhea before she left.

"Malcolm, make sure the rumor doesn't spread." Cole ordered Malcolm.

"Okay but are you sure you're fine?" Malcolm asked.

"I'm fine". Cole replied.

"Then I'll leave now," And he left.

"Are you okay?" Cole asked me.

"Honestly, I wouldn't like to see an occurrence like that again".

"No promises though,"

I chuckled lightly.

At least the mood in here was lightened a bit.
