Shortly, a hospital bed was wheeled out of the operating room, with Mabel lying on it.

The wrist that had been brutally broken was now casted. Her once - pale, beautiful face had regained some of its rosy hue. She was out of danger.

The hospital bed rolled past Beta and Amber Mason. The two of them sat there, not even sparing it a glance.

Beta's eyes swept over, watching as Mabel was pushed into a certain room. After a long while, he let out a sigh.

Before he could speak, Amber Mason, who was sitting there, turned around. Her slightly dark - red eyes fixed on him."How can this contract be dissolved?"

Beta's narrow eyes narrowed slightly. His slender fingers reached out and pressed on the cross - shaped mark on her neck.

"Have I not taught you that this place should never be touched casually? By no one."

"It was an accident." Amber Mason keenly sensed his anger and was filled with remorse herself.

Who could have expected that man to make such a move? His blood - stained fingers had reached out directly. She had reacted, but it was too late.

Beta withdrew his hand, his tone ice - cold."It can't be dissolved, unless he dies."

His narrow eyes, peering through the lenses, stared into Amber Mason's dark - red ones."This contract is indestructible, eternal."

Indestructible, eternal!

Only his death—!

Amber Mason sat there in a daze. For the past twenty years, she hadn't even dared to suck blood with her fangs, let alone take a life!

"Indestructible..." Amber Mason sat there, murmuring, unable to come to terms with it for a moment.

Beta sighed again."His death must be either voluntary or natural. Otherwise, you'll be trapped by this contract for all eternity."

Amber Mason's body trembled violently. A vampire like her, trapped by a human for all eternity?

"A human's lifespan is at most a hundred years. Consider him as a blood - bag to keep by your side," Beta said, the coldness in his voice having faded.

"A hundred years isn't too long an ordeal for us."

Amber Mason turned to look at him."What do you mean?"

"With the contract established, he becomes your sole source of blood - drinking," Beta continued, sitting there, paying no heed to Amber Mason's outburst."You can no longer consume any other blood except his."

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

"What?!"

"Not only that..." Beta's lips curled into a cold smile."This contract is two - way. He offers himself as your sole sustenance, and you must respond to his call."

"What does that mean?"

Beta stood up and gently ruffled the top of Amber Mason's hair."Whenever he calls you, no matter where you are, no matter when, and no matter what you're doing... you'll have to go to his side."

Amber Mason's eyes widened. Beta's cold fingers traced the cross - shaped pattern on her neck, his eyes slightly squinted as he looked at the blood - colored chains on it.

"Poor Amber, take good care of your only source of food."

With that, Beta turned around and strode out.

Amber Mason sat numbly in the corridor. Only Beta's words echoed ceaselessly in her mind.

No matter where, no matter what she was doing, she'd have to go to his side.

Three days passed. Mabel lay in bed for three days before finally waking up slowly.

For these three days, Amber Mason had been like a guardian spirit, sitting by the bedside day and night. She did nothing but watch the man lying on the hospital bed.

She had watched for three days, yet still couldn't figure out who he was.

She was trapped by a complete stranger.

Over these three days, within this hospital affiliated with the vampire clan, none of her kin recognized Mabel. Amber Mason was at last certain that he truly didn't comprehend the words she'd spoken.

He had no master previously, yet now, he did.

"Ah..."

She had lost count of how many times she'd sighed. Amber Mason rested her hand on her forehead, her mind in disarray.

"Mmm..."

The man who had been lying in the hospital bed for three days finally uttered a sound. Amber Mason sat there, motionless. The blood - red hue at the bottom of her eyes remained, and even the fangs in her mouth were no longer hidden.

"Awake?"

She inquired coldly, her gaze fixed on the man who was slowly opening his eyes on the bed. She noticed that upon seeing her, a faint glimmer seemed to flash in his docile eyes.

"Miss Amber...?!"

Amber Mason immediately rose and approached his bedside. Gazing at his arm immobilized by the cast, she arched her red lips, baring her fangs right before his eyes.

"Miss Amber? Shouldn't you have known who I am long ago?"

The fangs emerging from her red lips glinted with a cold light. Mabel, lying there, had a sudden blush spreading across his fair face.

His other uninjured hand reached up to caress his neck, gently stroking the area where the bite mark was.

His long, curled eyelashes veiled his gaze, and all Amber Mason could see was the flush on his face.

"... You've bitten me."

This man—!

"Who exactly are you!"

Amber Mason reached out with her palm, grasped his collar, and yanked his entire body off the hospital bed!

His handsome face was suffused with shyness, and it seemed that a sheen of moisture was welling up in his eyes once more.

Why... was he on the verge of crying again?

His slender, attractive fingers slowly ascended the back of her hand. Upon feeling her frigid body temperature, a low groan escaped from the depths of his throat.

His docile, deer - like eyes were filled with her reflection.

"I'm the little boy you nearly devoured."

His voice was soft, yet it struck Amber Mason's mind like a sledgehammer.

It was him, the one who had plagued her nightmares for two decades.

Her icy hand swiftly attempted to withdraw, but was firmly held down by the warm fingers of the human.

The fingers, imbued with body heat, slipped directly between her cold fingers, gripping her hand tightly. With a tug, his uninjured arm pulled her into his equally warm embrace.

Amber Mason was still in a state of shock and didn't notice at all that she was now held in his arms.

The man's head gently leaned against her shoulder, and his soft, fine hair brushed against her cheek.

From the depths of his body, a sigh of utmost contentment escaped.

"It's all right now."

Mabel murmured softly, his thin lips gently pressing a kiss on the cross - shaped mark that was within easy reach.

"I've belonged to you... for a long time."
