Chapter 74 - Revealing all the cards

Lazarus lay on the massive king size bed. His arms clasped behind his head, his thoughts returning back to a couple of hours ago.

...

Lazarus stared down Sebastian who stood between him and Mizuki who was held in his father's arms.

Sebastian looked into Lazarus's eyes. They seemed to hold no emotion but Sebastian wasn't easily fooled as he knew Laz was succumbing to not only his thirst for blood but his desire for death.

"Lazarus, I know it's hard to control it, but you need to calm down....please." Sebastian stood gaurd as Lazarus slowly approached them with an ominous aura coming off his body.

Lazarus raise the blade in his hand as he approached. His aura of malice thickening the close he got.

"Laz...calm down."

Lazarus felt a large and small hands on both his shoulders as Cassandra stood infront of him while Lason. Their hands firm but not tight around his shoulders.

Lazarus lookwd into Cass's violet eyes as he gritted his teeth. He shifted the katana into a reverse grip and plunged the blade into his thigh.

This surprised everyone since Lazarus seemed as if he would attack then to get to Mizuki and finish the job.

He smiled as he looked at Cass, who smiled back. "Scared you...huh?" He said whilst he leaned down towards Cassandra.

"Not really, cause I knew you have far better control than that." She finished and wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. Which he reciprocated back.

"Blugh!" Lason stuck his tongue out in disgust which rewarded him a back elbow to the gut, and a kick to his leg which sent him doubling over.

Back in Lazarus room he stared at the ceiling with calm yet restless eyes. 'What was that feeling?' He sent his thoughts to Dakarai inisde his mind.

"Well...you can call it something like a desire to kill. Thank Cain for that one." He said as he flipped to the next page of the book he was reading.

One of the downsides to being the decendant of Cain pretty much means you not only have a great aptitude for murder buy you also have a desire for it. And unlike regular thirst, this comes from killing.

Which is why Lazarus was seeming going to fight Sebastian and Rai to kill Mizuki if Cassandra and Lason didn't help him regain his bearings.

Before Lazarus could ask for any further information he heard the sound of Knocking coming from the door.

"Come in."

The door open and Cassandra, lason, Ksenia and Sebastian entered the room. Sebastian and Ksenia kept their form butler, and maid attire while the twins change into more casual clothing.

Hay man, what did you want to call us over hear to talk about?" Lason asked as he grabbed a chair to seat on.

Cassandra walked over to sat on the side of the bed. While Sebastian and Ksenia stood close to yhe door.

Lazarus meet Sebastian eyes and they had a brief telepathic conversation. 'Are you sure about this, my lord?' He questioned as faint concerned could be heard in his voice.

'Yes Sebastian. I can't keep lying to them, they've been honest with me since I've regain my powers. So It's only fair if I'm honest back and besides from what you've told me the Bloodfire are among or the most loyal house to the vampire royal family.' He finished as he felt a hand on his lap.

He turn to Cassandra who had a worried look. "You okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine." He grabbed her hand and kiss it before placing his forehead over it.

He looked up at them with conviction in his eyes but Lason and Cassandra noticed a hint of fear.

"Sebastian."

Sebastian created a barrier around the room that seemingly paused the sound from traveling past the barrier.

"Done, my prince." Sebastian said as he got on one knee.

"What's the meaning of this lord Sebastian?!" Ksenia questioned as flames sparked across her body. Her fighting stance read but than.

"Stop it." A voice so quiet it could be compare to a church mouse, but had the weight of a mountain being place on her shoulds.

Ksenia body fozen in place as it seemingly obeyed the command of another. Her eyes landed on Lazarus whos eyes both were surrounded by their black sclera but instead of being 2 different colors they were both a bright red.

"Cassandra... Lason i haven't truly been honest with you guy." Lazarus spoke his voice softer than usual.

"Like what?" Lason immediately tensed up and leaned in further. While Cass rubbed the side of Lazarus's face. "Laz you can tell us anything, we're your friends."

Lazarus jolted as he heard those words. "Yeah... that's true, but let's just say hypothetically I wasn't who I said I was or if I was in a higher station than you guys." He finished as his eyes were glosed over.

Cassandra smiled and hugged Laz before he could say anything more. "Lazarus, i know trust can be a scary thing. And I'm not staying you have to reveal everything at once, okay?" She reassured him as she rubbed the back of his head. While her other hand rubbed his face before she gave him a passionate kiss, which caught him off gaurd but he didn't reject it.

They ended their kiss snd placed each other's foreheads together. "I don't care who or what your are Lazarus. You are the man our friend, someone whi we cherish, and most importantly your the man i fell for." She finished with her eyes staring at his face which had a noticable blush.

Before he could speak he felt a rough hand ruffled his hair. He looked up and saw lason who was smiling at him. He did say much he extended his his for Lazarus who responded back his own fist pump.

"We bros, no matter what and nothing is changing that. And beside who am I gonna be able to be myself around beside you and my sister." He finished as he gave a toothy smile.

"Okay, for starter." Lazarus said as his wings bursted out from his back and his halo appeared above his head.

"I'm the prince of vampires and the son of an archangel."
