Chapter 45 — Welcome to Agnus Island

“Sweetheart, wake up.”

She stretched her hands and moved her sore body while still closing her eyes. It was such a tiring night and her muscles felt overused. But it was a hot night with her husband, so it was worth it.

“We’re here.” His gentle voice made her eyes open wide. She wrapped the blanket around her body and sat up. She saw Ace’s smiling face first. His right elbow was supporting his head while he stared at her.

She was speechless. Knowing that he was looking at her while she slept, she couldn’t help but wonder if she had been drooling.

“Take your time getting dressed. We’re actually already in Dye’s room on the island.” After that, he kissed her forehead and walked out, shutting the door behind him. She dropped back into bed.

It was soft and comfortable, and her tired body welcomed the bed. She groaned quietly. There was some pain between her legs and her neck hurt a lot because of Ace’s bite. At least the puncture wounds healed quickly because of him too.

“Goodness! Why was he so sweet?” she murmured to herself before pressing her face into the pillow, trying to stop herself from giggling and squealing. He made her crazy. Was he trying to make her fall for him deeper? Was he so rude to trap her with his charm? Argh!

“Going to get ready,” she exclaimed before standing up. She was about to go to the bathroom but stopped to look at the unfamiliar room. The scent of masculinity filled her nostrils, and the colors were manlier than what Ace usually preferred.

The room was big enough, but the decor was different. The ceiling and walls were painted with camouflage. Was the person living here in the military? Although the walls were weird, the organization and furniture inside were amazing and neat.

She heard one time that military personnel was very neat. They would organize their things well. She didn’t know too much about it, but she once read about it in a magazine—about a certain person.

“Young Madam, I have the clothes that the young master prepared.” She came back to reality when she heard Red’s voice outside the door. She hurriedly went to the bathroom before answering him.

“Just put them on the bed please!” she instructed before hopping into the bath. The bathroom was also neat and clean. There was already a towel, so she only needed to clean herself.

“Holy crap!” she exclaimed when she saw the hickeys on her body. There was a body mirror not far away from the bathtub, so she had the chance to examine herself. Ace had always been a capable lover…and he loved sucking on her flesh.

There were red dots trailing from her neck down to her collarbone, and then to her mound. There were even two hickeys on her stomach and teeth marks on her shoulders. Ace was extremely wild last night.

While cleaning herself, she thought about how it all started when she unknowingly argued with her own boss, who was also the king of vampires. When he told her that she was the chosen one, and they were married through papers.

She always thought that vampires weren’t real, and just a result of someone’s imagination. Who would have thought that she would be a vampire's bride? Nevertheless, she was trying not to get too close to him, but she knew that she was too late. Her heart was already a servant to him and his warmth.

“What if I’m not his beloved? Will he still want me?” she thought while she finished bathing. She did her morning routine before dressing up.

The clothes were perfect for her figure as if they were made just for her. Her curvy waist was defined well, as well as her pale skin. Did Ace really know her measurements?

She was wearing a plain white off-the-shoulder shirt. It displayed her flat stomach and big boobs perfectly. And the black shorts showed off her long and delicate legs. Indeed, she was pretty!

“Are you done, young madam?”

She cleared her throat before answering Red. “Yes! I’m coming.” With that, she combed her wet hair for the last time and went out. Her thin lips parted slightly at her surroundings. How could it be?! There were lots of men in military uniforms walking around.

“Where are we?” she asked while observing some of them. It was obvious that she was confused.

“Agnus Island is a military compound. Actually, one of the young master’s friends is a five-star general,” Red explained calmly while guiding her in a certain direction.

“Military? I’ve never heard of this place,” she said while carefully following Red. The military had their own business. Either they were in training or doing something worth it.

“It’s hidden. The five-star general is actually the young master Dye, the sin of pride.” Her eyes widened.

The sin of pride?!
