Married To The Mad Vampire Lord novel Chapter 459

Chapter 459: "Move it!"

Normally, human slaves were sold out to rich vampires, but once a woman began to breed in the establishment, making more human babies, there was no way out of it for them, as they forever became breeding women. Once they grew to the age where they could no longer give the establishment babies, they were killed, for old women were no longer wanted.

The horror that came over Belle at the thought of being in such a place was so immense that she staggered backward, but the bars of the gate supported her. When she was in Aragonia, many young women feared this place like one would fear hell itself. It was a nightmare to humans, for once you fell into it, you no longer had the will to be your own person anymore, you became a tool to the night creatures.

"A piece of advice, my lady. Don’t overreact to the news and bring attention to yourself. Try to keep a low profile. By the way, I’m Andrea."

Belle could barely hear the other woman’s words as slave establishment rang in her head like a bell. She swirled around and clutched the bars, trying to shake them, but they were firm and unmovable. She called out into the dark hallway, her voice echoing, "There has been some mistake! I am not a slave! I am the duke’s wife, and he wouldn’t let this go if he finds out I’m here! Someone open the door! You can’t—"

The woman called Andrea moved forward and pulled Belle’s arm, dragging her back from the bars as she gritted out, "Shut up, woman! You’ll get us punished! The people in charge don’t take it well when new slaves raise their voices." She warned her harshly. Having spent years here, Andrea knew everything there was to know, and she wasn’t going to let a newcomer get her punished again.

Belle yanked her hand away from the woman, stepping back. "I am not a slave. I won’t let them keep me here. My family will be worried and—" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"And you think you’re the only one with a family?" scoffed Andrea. "We all had families, but the vampires don’t care. Once you’re here, you’re a slave, and you’ll be branded as one soon enough. The sooner you accept your fate, the better it will be for you."

Belle wasn’t going to accept anything. She didn’t belong here and wouldn’t let them force her to stay. Though Rohan might not know she was missing yet because the imposter was taking her form, he would eventually find out and trace her here. But how long would that take before he realized it? If this establishment was in Nightbrook, surely they knew who the duke was and wouldn’t dare to mess with him.

All the nightmares she had heard about places like this, she couldn’t afford to stay in it even for a single day.

"They’re coming," Andrea gritted out, drawing back into the shadows. "Act normal, lady, if you don’t want to be punished."

Belle looked at her in confusion, wondering what she meant, but soon the sounds of approaching footsteps could be heard, followed by the loud clanging of metal striking metal.

"WAKE UP! RISE AND SHINE, HUMANS!" called out the wardens as they hit the bars to wake the slaves for their morning routines.

Belle stepped back as two vampires came to stand in front of the cell, about to strike it with the rods in their hands, but they stopped when they noticed she was awake and staring directly at them.
