The Vampire Kings Slave Mate

Chapter 21: Nikolai

It hadn’t even been a full day since I had forced Mary to remain at my side, and she was already moaning, groaning and complaining about it.

“You snore in your sleep.” She whined at me as soon as we woke up the next morning. I called her a bed hog and advised I did not enjoy sharing the comfort of my bed with her. She then went off on a tangent about our sleep being interrupted by one anotber to try and get out of sleeping in my room. I couldn’t believe the audacity of her, any other women in this palace would be swooning at the chance to sleep in my bed.

At this moment, I was impatiently waiting outside the bathroom, for Mary to get dressed.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) I had a meeting with the high council today about a spree of killings that bordered the Werewolf and Fairy

territories, and she was taking an abundant amount of time to get ready.

“Mary,” I growled out, finally losing my patience with her, “If you’re not out here within the next minute I will come in there and drag you out.”

Mary mumbled something under her breath, that I couldn’t quiet catch, but I thought I had heard something about a big ole’ grumpy vampire, as she unlocked the door and came walking out. She looked stunning, her appearance looking more like a Queen than a blood slave. She was wearing a form fitting navy dress that stopped just above her knees, the sleeves were long and tight along her arms. Her hair she’d brushed throughly, and left down, her long red curls bouncing freely. She’d paired the dress with a pair of white ankle boots, which matched the loose white belt she’d used to accessorize the dress. I tried to hide my smile at the sight of her, she was obviously enjoying the wardrobe Nevaeh had picked out for her.

“Are you just going to stand there gawking at me or are we going to head towards your “important” meeting.” She said making fake quotation marks at the word important.

I looked into her eyes, glaring at her. “I wasn’t gawking at you, I was just making sure you looked suitable to be in the presence of the council?”

She did a little spin for me, obviously knowing the effect her body had on me, “And do I pass?” She asked.

“Yes,” I said nodding my head slowly, “You look like quite the snack.” I smiled letting my fangs down for effect.

She gasped out loud before storming to the door. I grabbed her arm and spun her around. “Listen closely, Moé Aparohjeshbé, I expect you to be silent throughout the council meeting, do not speak unless spoke to and I have given you permission to talk.”

Mary started to interrupt me, but I tightened my grip on her arm, letting her know I was being serious.

“If you talk out of turn, if you’re disobedient, or defiant in anyway, you’ll be locked in the dungeons by the council, and even my sway will not be able to get you out.”

“Oh,” Mary said tauntingly, “Even a king doesn’t have full control.”

I shook my head at her, convinced she’d be the reason I finally broke and my beast took control, however my beast seemed to like her spunk, as he purred every time she challenged my authority.
