The Vampire Kings Slave Mate

Chapter 46: Mary

“What time is the summit again?” I ask Draq for what feels like the millionth time today.

“I’ve told you multiple times Mary it is at nightfall.” Draq replies, his tone showing just how exasperated he was with me.

*It’s essential for you to visit the market today, Mary.” Dru states, “On the day of the summit it’s important for the Village to know that their Queen has their back. Nikolai will be introducing a new law today, and its one the village folks will support.”

“Do I finally get to know this secretly law?” I ask raising my eyebrow at the both of them.

“I guess it’s safe enough for us to spill the beans now.” Kade replies making me jump. I had forgotten the he and Nevaeh were accompanying us to the village today.

I turn my full attention to Kade, intrigued on what the new law was.

“Nikolai, since meeting you, has discovered a flaw in the system, one that should have been apparent as soon as he became king, but he didn’t notice it until he realized how poorly you and your family were treated.” Kade paused and I’m almost certain it was for effect,(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) “He has decided to free the humans from slavery. He is abolishing the slave trade entirely. Any attacks upon humans with out just cause will be punishable by death. And Vampires are no longer allowed to take blood by force. We will either need to go to the blood bank or find a source willing to let us feed from them. In order to keep the blood supply up every eligible human will need to donate at least a pint of blood every four months.”

I stared up at Kade in complete shock. Had Nikolai really done this because of me?

“He knows it’s not entirely what you want, but I think it’s a good start towards change.” Kade replied to my blank stare.

“This is wonderful!” I exclaimed, with a new pep in my step as I walked towards the market. This time next week, this market will be filled with free people. People who will finally have a choice on how they want to live their lives.

I begin to wonder if Nevaeh will stay or if she’ll leave the castle to return to her village. I know she misses her family, but I can’t imagine her not being here. We’ve already been through so much together.

“Don’t worry,” Nevaeh said as she walked with me into the village, “I’m staying. Kade and I have decided to try the relationship route.” She gushed.

“WHAT!” I yelled.

“Shh…” Nevaeh said while covering my mouth with her hand, Draq, Dru, and Kade all giving us strange looks.
