The Vampire Kings Slave Mate

Chapter 30: Mary

Nikolai has been incredibly distant since the night we made love. The only time I see him is at night when it’s time for bed, and even then, it’s nothing romantic. It’s just a formality with his need to protect me. He hand’t even fed from me, and it made me curious, if not a little jealous, as I began to wonder where he was getting his blood from. I tried not to let his distance bother me. It was better this way. I wouldn’t be tied to him and I could still avenge my family’s murders, as soon as I was able to get out of this prison. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)It seems like a strong word, but since the attacks, that is what the palace feels like. I’m only allowed to leave the confines on the King’s quarters to attend meals. I was no longer allowed to go to the village or even walk around the gardens. The only visitor I was allowed was Nevaeh, and she seemed to be coming around less frequently as if she didn’t want to be associated with me, a nobody. Nikolai had ordered guards to escort me and wait for me outside his room anytime he wasn’t around. The guards weren’t the same friendly Dragon seers, I had met my first day. These men were extremely formal and wouldn’t speak to me at all, sometimes I wondered if Nikolai had

commanded them not to engage in conversation with me.

I sat outside the balcony, propped up on the windows edge reading a novel about a girl who’d fallen in love with a prince and had her heart broken by him, I was on the chapter where she meets his older brother for the first time, and I couldn’t help but groan at the cliche and corniness of the book. It was entirely predictable, but reading was the only thing that kept me same in my time of isolation. I was so distracted with my nose in the book, that I hadn’t noticed Nikolai approaching behind me.

“I hope you aren’t planning on jumping.” He said startling me, almost causing me to fall of the edge, within a nanosecond, he had his arms around me, pulling me off the balcony’s edge.

I huffed at him, ignoring his question, as I walked into the room, tossing my book on the bed.

“Mary?” Nikolai asked, picking up on my unpleasant mood.

“Oh so now his highness decides to embrace me with his presence.” I ask turning to face him, glaring at him.

“I’ve been busy.” He responded curtly. “And I’ve told you multiple times not to take that tone towards

me.”

“Sorry sir.” I said curtsying at him sarcastically before turning away from him, heading towards the bathroom for some privacy.

He grabbed my hand and whirled me towards him. If you don’t drop the attitude and the disrespect now, (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)I’ll bend you over my lap and spank you.” He hissed.

Even with how angry I was at him, I felt myself get aroused as the image of him spanking me came to life in my head. Deciding now to rile him up some more, causing him to make good on his threat, I took a deep calming breath in, before exhaling it slowly. “Sorry, your highness.” I responded timidly looking towards the ground.

Nikolai grabbed my chin and pulled my face up so I was looking him directly in the eyes. “Tell me  what’s wrong mean,” I asked slaughtering the pronunciation of it, ignoring his question entirely.

“It means precious, in my native tongue, Russian. Now that I’ve answered your question will you answer mine?” He asked not letting me distract him.

I shook the thought of her with Nikolai out of my head, and ran towards the exit, relief flooding through me that no one was there, I was honestly shocked by the lack of security around the castle, I quickly through my long red hair into

in a foul mood ever since I became fully aware of the fact that Mary was indeed my mate. It’s not that I didn’t want her to be my mate. She was absolutely perfect for me. She was the light to my darkness, she was willing to challenge me when no one else dared. She was my divine gift and I wasn’t willing to give her up, but it terrified me that she was human. Mary was my ultimate weakness. Once the supernatural world learned that I had taken a human as my mate, they’d do anything and everything in the power to take her from me, they’d use her as a bargaining chip against me, some may even kill her just to spite me, or torture her for information. I couldn’t protect Mary at every turn and that’s what terrified me. My mate was at risk because
