The Vampire Kings Slave Mate

Nikolai’s point of view during the auction

I opened the doors to my bedchamber and beckoned the two guards waiting outside into the room.

‘Sire.” They both bowed in unison.

They were twin seers from the Dragon troupe. I had rescued them when they were just hatchlings from human hunters and they swore their fealty to me as my protectors. I brought them back home to my kingdom and had them trained by my strongest warriors. They were now my personal guards, and I trusted them almost as much as I trusted Kade.

“Take Martha’s body and bury it in the gardens. Near the Willow tree.” Martha always loved the willow tree, it reminded her of her daughter, Willow, who was killed in the first war. The twins didn’t need to know that part though.

The both bowed at me, before going to Martha, Draq, the taller twin, picked her gently and carried her bridal style in his arms. Dru, the smaller twin, looked around seeing if anything else needed to be removed from my room, before he followed Draq out, closing my door behind them.

I sat on my bed, running my hands through my jet black hair. Martha’s blood had taken the edge off my hunger, but I still wasn’t satisfied. I need young blood, new blood. I was looking forward to the auction tonight. Glancing out my window and seeing the setting sun, I knew we would need to leave soon, the auction started at sunset.

I stood up from my bed and walked over to my closet, looking for something to wear tonight. I wish I could just throw on a pair of blue jeans and a black shirt and call it a day, but since I was going to an auction, where my subjects would be, I needed to dress for the occasion. I rolled my eyes, annoyed that I had to keep up appearances and grabbed the first suit my eyes landed on. It was a standard suit, nothing to fancy, perfect for the occasion. Now tie or no tie, walking towards my dresser I opened up the door, and looked down at my ties narrowing my eyes at them. Fuck it. I’m not going to wear a tie today, if the council objects they can take it up with me. I’ll come out the winner. I always do. I quickly put the suit on, leaving a couple buttons undone on the white shirt, hating how restricting the dress shirt felt. I pushed my sleeves up above my elbows, deciding to ditch the jacket. I quickly pulled my slacks up. Kade walked into the room as I was slipping on my shoes.

“Well you look charming,” Kade said pushing his curly brown locks out of his face. He was wearing a pair of ripped black jeans, and a white shirt.

I growled at him, feeling myself getting more annoyed.

“Geeze,” calm down dude, Kade said laughing. “You need to get laid Nik, I can see the tension rolling off you.”

“Is that way of volunteering your sister?” I asked taunting Kade. His sister was screamed sex, and if Kade wasn’t my best friend, I would’ve already fucked her.

Fuck off.”
