·Chapter 8: An Unlikely Protector

Mathew's eyes narrowed as he tracked the vampire tracker through the crowded streets. He could sense the tracker's malevolent intent, and his instincts told him that Diana was the target.

Without hesitation, Mathew intercepted the tracker, and a fierce battle ensued. The tracker was formidable, but Mathew's skills proved superior. As the tracker lay defeated, Mathew extracted a crucial piece of information: the vampire council's plan to forcibly take ASTRIA 761 by any means necessary.

Mathew knew he had to warn Diana directly. He found her in a secluded alley, her eyes flashing with a mixture of fear and determination.

Seeing her put him in a difficult situation.He was a century old vampire. it has been long he had drunken human blood. He only hunt animals never hurt human intentionally.But Diana and her blood evoke the desire for blood in him .For a moment he had a thought of biting her neck and drink the blood.But he controlled himself and told her

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

"You're in grave danger, Diana," Mathew said, his voice low and urgent. "The council will stop at nothing to get the book. You can't face this threat alone."

Diana's gaze searched his face, her expression wary. "Why should I trust you?" she asked, her voice laced with skepticism.

Mathew's eyes locked onto hers. "Because I'm willing to risk everything to protect you and the book. I'm not just fighting for my own kind; I'm fighting for all magical creatures."

Diana hesitated for a moment and then she suddenly remembered the story she heard in her childhood from her parents.About a powerful witch and the knight who protects her.For a moment she feels may be the story is real may be she could trust him.

Whenever Diana stuck she would call her aunt's . They are the only remaining family of her. When she called her aunt Lilly,she supported her decision

Diana's hesitation was palpable, but unknowingly she was drown in to him some kind of attraction.But she doesn't want to acknowledge it.Eventually, she nodded. "Okay, I'll let you help me. But if you betray me, you'll regret it."

Mathew's smile was a thin, determined line. "I won't betray you, Diana. I vow to prove that my fight is for all of us, not just myself."

As they formed their uneasy alliance, Mathew knew that the road ahead would be treacherous. But he was ready to face whatever challenges lay in store, as long as it meant protecting Diana and the magical world.
