The Vampire Kings Slave Mate

Chapter 31- Nikolai

“Lady Mary has disappeared. She is not in your room, nor is she anywhere else in the castle.” The guard said timidly looking down at the ground.

I felt my heart skip a beat. Mary was missing, my mate had left me. I felt myself losing control over my vampire. He wanted to hunt down Mary and force her back home and have his way with her until she was too sore to even think about running away. It took all of my strength to shove him down. I didn’t have time to lose focus. The Alpha summit was in two days time and I was expected to be there, the King’s presence was required to keep the peace. If I didn’t show, there would be carnage, and then even more supernaturals would try to take my throne from me. I wanted to say fuck it, and abdicate, my throne, but I couldn’t let my people down. They needed a just leader, this wasn’t the time for me

to lose myself.

“I am leaving for the Alpha’s summit in two days time. I need Mary found before then. I want everyone looking for her. No stone will be left unturned.” I growled out.

“Nikolai, you need to reconsider, you can’t leave the castle unguarded while you look for your blood slave.” Kade said reaching out and grabbing my arm before I could leave the meeting hall.

“I can’t live without her.” I whispered to Kade, unshed tears filling my eyes.

I saw a look pass over Kade’s face and I knew he knew. I had just silently answered his question on whether Mary was my mate or not.

“Well this changes everything.” Kade muttered under his breath. “Everyone Leave.” He commanded, using his second in command authority. “Gregor, you’ll be in charge of executing the plan to rescue lady Mary. If any hair on her body is harmed, you’ll be answering to me.” He growled out.

The meeting hall quickly emptied and Kade walked around to ensure the silencing wards that had been put up in the meeting hall were still intact. The witch who had cast the wards, showed us how to detect them.

“Why did you tell me?” Kade asked, being careful still not to mention that Mary was my mate.

“I couldn’t afford the risk it would bring her.” I responded

“But she is our…” He paused not 100% sure the silencing wards were completely effective. “Our Queen.” He mind linked me.

“She can’t be.” I responded out loud. “She isn’t strong enough, anyone and everyone would hunt her down and use her against me.”

Kade replied to my look still chuckling to himself. “Mary, human or not, is the most stubborn pigheaded woman I have ever met. She went head to head with a werwolf
