Forgive him

"Meredith! What have you done?" Atlas' eyes bulged out of fear. He walked over to Marcus' lifeless body on the floor and checked his pulse.

"He is not breathing…..you killed him." He said completely shocked by the turn of events.

Meredith glanced at Marcus' body and shook her head, "Unfortunately no. He is a vampire, Atlas and a royal. Unless a stake is pierced through his heart he will survive."

He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her. She knew he was worried about the consequences of her killing him and not because she had killed him.

"Yes he will be up in about five minutes. A royal vampire is different from the rest." Austin chimed in.

Atlas nodded and pulled Meredith's in his arms.

"You don't have to get your hands dirty love. Let me do the killing from now onwards okay?"

Meredith chuckled and nodded, "Okay. But I won't hesitate to kill anyone who threatens our relationship or you." She said in a low tone.
