Mated To The King Of Darkness 142 - George's Wolf
Luck had been on Zezi's side that night and she didn't even have to look for George before he came to her. He had picked the lock of the Hall of Sculptures and slipped into it, his eyes sharp with observation, until he took a step back, startled."I thought they were here," the words rushed out of his mouth, then he paused, his nose scrunching upwards. "Your scent has changed. You smell like them."Even though Gwen had brought a new dress for her, it felt like George could still see her in her ripped white dress. She smoothened the sleeves of her dress with her hands, brushing her fingers lightly over the high collar after she was done. He knew what had happened here, and something passed in his eyes at it. Accusation and disappointment. "I was hoping we could talk." Her voice sounded firmer than she felt, and she was grateful for that. "Tell me the situation of the Capital."He stared at her through slanted eyes filled with emotions and he walked towards her mindlessly, as if he
Mated To The King Of Darkness 143 - A Whisper - They Are Here
"I don't believe you?"He was lying, she repeated to herself over and over again, even though she was already believing it. He was lying. By the Moon, it was George's wolf!The only thing George's wolf has ever wanted to do to her was hurt her."Then ask him yourself."The red eyes were gone and now all she could see was George. He blinked, panic filling his eyes. "My love---""Is it true?" She couldn't even believe that she was asking this.Darkness shadowed his eyes. When he finally spoke, his voice sounded quiet, foreign, and wild.So unlike George, so much like his wolf but it was still George, of that she was sure."You were not supposed to know."He rushed towards her with intent and pressed his thumb against her forehead. Immediately, her memories started to fade away.Adrenaline rushed in, and her hands yanked him away from her with an unrestrained force."How. Dare. You?!" Rage laced her words, the pain of betrayal sent her heart thundering.George stood up, his hands tre
Mated To The King Of Darkness 144 - Has He Forgotten Her
The chaos raged on beneath, and then the chaos died.It raged on again, died again, still there in the darkness she remained. Zezi had stopped her clawing at the walls and her mad senseless banging to bring the barriers down, so she could save her daughter whose voice her enhanced hearing hadn't brought to her ears since that scream.Languishing moments dragged on, till she was spent and all she could do was slip to the wall and pray to the Moon that Mira was alright while she tried to shake away the memory of the blood and her blue dress. Valerick was gone the moment he had tossed her in here, ordering her with a rugged voice to stay, his dark eyes glinting sparks of red. It frightened her and for that little moment, the shock had stilled her. At that same moment, he was gone. Zezi couldn't tell how long it must have been now, all she knew was that the chaos had been over for quite some time.She could no longer hear the clickings, she could hear nothing and it made her wonder i
Mated To The King Of Darkness 145 - This One Needs Blood
"Drop that dog and let them take care of you!"The castle had been shut down, all doors were locked. No one could come and and no one could go out.There were many a few injured guests, and many dying ones.The King had disappeared right after killing the last of Volaky, his mate disappearing long before. The bodies of the dead Volakys still stunk up the big hall, but everyone was too busy trying to survive that they paid it no mind. They were all trying to get the attention of the limited Physicians so they could survive. The tables were no longer filled up with bottles and glasses of wine, cake or decorations but vampires that had received the worst hits of tonight's event. The blood that was meant for refreshments during the ceremony, was now a necessity in the first aid kit. The Physicians shouted their need for more, and the lucky ones who had been too busy with one thing or the other outside the hall at the time of the attack, were sent to the reservoir for more.Gwen was one
Mated To The King Of Darkness 146 - Who Have You Become?
"She is going to die."Delice shook off her confusion at Nicholas' previous words, and against her better judgment, she slit her palm open with a broken wine glass. It had been a long time since she had felt pain from simple cuts like this one, watched her blood flow, and felt drained. That was what little Mira did when she had her cold lips fastened against the cut, and soon enough fangs. Delice's eyes went wide, so it was true. She was indeed a vampire. ________Of all the things Zezi could have thought of coming back to, never could she have imagined it to be her daughter being a vampire. It was a bizarre thing to even suggest and had she not seen Mira being fed blood and accepting it even in her unconscious state, she wouldn't have believed it.Last night was by far the longest night of Zezi's life. This morning, in this quiet room of her Mira, George, and Aunt Alice, was starting to feel like the longest morning of her life too.Time just seemed to crawl by and the rising
Mated To The King Of Darkness 147 - Past Problems Popping Up
Valerick scanned the room as he stepped in before even a word would slip out of his mouth. Only his mate and the little one were there. Good, after his long day, she was the only one he wanted to come back to.Time for accountability."As one of my Turned, I had to feed Delice some of my blood so we wouldn't lose her soul. She is recovering now."He shut the door behind him and looked straight at her. His mate was sitting by the little one's bedside. It looked like she hadn't left that space for a long time. His steps lessened the distance between them."That was where I had been the whole morning. Also, Nicholas and I had to do some damage control and conduct an investigation on the attack. We had to set up a team for that. We are not done yet, the team has continued without me. We are heading somewhere, I believe we will have this resolved soon."Finally, he was right by her side. "I should have been here with you, I am sorry that I wasn't."Zezi looked away wordlessly, her gaze s
Mated To The King Of Darkness 148 - Murderous Monster
She tried to control her heartbeat, control her feelings. She must stay in control. "Nothing about this is fair.""I do not deserve how much hate you give me, Zezi."Relief settled in her chest like cold water. He didn't know. Of course, he didn't know. There was no way he would have known of the poison and still made her his Queen. No, he would have thrown her into the dungeon instead.There was nothing for her to worry about... except her daughter and everything surrounding the recent attack. "If my daughter dies, I will never forgive you. I won't let your kind take one more special person from me. Even if the guilty one is also death to yours.""I am tired of this." There was resignation in his quiet voice, and without giving her a second look, he shut the door behind him. Zezi was unmoved, at least that was what she had convinced herself that she felt. Nothing.It wasn't after an hour after he left, did she realized how stupid a move that had been. She should have hidden
Mated To The King Of Darkness 149 - By The Order Of The King!
Valerick was nowhere to be found and even though she didn't want to, Zezi started to panic.Until, she had met Nicholas who told her that the King had to attend to other pressing issues that had more priority than "chit-chatting" with her. When she asked about Mira's health, he tried his best to seem reassuring but Zezi could see straight through his lie.Dr. Nicholas didn't know if her daughter would ever wake up. It was strange. If she really was a vampire, then why was she at the risk of dying without the Volakys venom ever being in her veins in the first place?This just didn't make any sense. "She has been starved for too long. Years! I don't even know how she had survived this long. My guess is that she is some kind of hybrid and that other part has been the one keeping her alive, and the overworking has been killing that part of her. That is why she is always sick. It will be a medical breakthrough to get to the root of this."He had declared in absolute excitement."My daug

Mated To The King Of Darkness 157 - More Than Was Bargained For
Regret threatened to overcome her but this was not the time to think of her past actions and question herself as to why she had made those decisions without thinking properly. Every second was important and she would not waste of by dwelling on the past. If her assumption about the White Circle was right, Zezi knew she would need the help of everyone she could get, and to test Lord Rosil, she had asked her if she really didn't want her head for killing her son."I totally understand if you do. What kind of mother wouldn't want the head of her son's murderer?"Well, it seemed like she had hit a nerve because, after that, Lord Rosil had plenty to say. "The kind her son wanted to murder. That silly boy thought draining my blood would give him magic, then gave his sister a hard time because she had orchestrated my escape. Sometimes, it had felt like he was two vampires, stuck in one body. He has one that played the role of a Governor perfectly, and the other that displays just how much
Mated To The King Of Darkness 156 - Dangerous Questions, Troubling Answers.
"It is different." Zezi finally declared and Lord Rosil frowned, taking a step closer to her. "Are there any other bonds you know of that could be mistaken as a matebond?""No... This..."Zezi shook her head. This wasn't the time to get overwhelmed by sadness or Lord Rosil's stuttering answer. This was the time to get her head straight and think probably.Lord Rosil snapped her fingers like she had just gotten a groundbreaking idea."Well, of course, it is different! Both of you are different." Her green eyes glinted with excitement at her coming explanation and for that brief moment, Zezi remembered Gwen and missed her. "The King is a Soul Seizer and you, are his mate."Zezi nodded, waiting for more, there just had to be more. "And?""Your Majesty, the King had to make a really big sacrifice to kill his father." Everything somehow felt a little quieter to Zezi, and all her focus zeroed in on Lord Rosil as she approached her. "Only self-sacrifice could kill him and he made that. He s
Mated To The King Of Darkness 155 - If Not Matebond, then What?
Had Akeem also been taken by the Volakys?That was what Zezi started to worry about when she still hadn't gotten a message back or seen Akeem and it was already some minutes past midnight. She had also gone to the library to check on him, but as expected, his seat was empty. The library had looked untouched by the chaos going on the the castle, it felt peaceful and Zezi lingered around longer, hoping to walk into Valerick.He had said his mother loved the library, and she thought that he was probably here to find peace in that knowledge.But no, Valerick wasn't here either. With a long and heavy sigh, Zezi stood up. She should probably ask Delice if she had seen Akeem, it was good to confirm everything before jumping to conclusions. She wouldn't want to report anything and arouse suspicion regarding her relationship with the librarian, if things turn out differently. Zezi didn't want more walls thrown between her and Valerick, they already had so many problems to deal with at the m
Mated To The King Of Darkness 154 - Back and Forth
Zezi's heart was pounding with regret as she ran up the stairs of the castle at an unfathomable speed.Why had she left to watch the execution in the first? She should have never left. She should have never convinced herself that she needed to be at the Execution for all the reasons she had thought it was important before. Right now, they all felt very useless.George and Aunt Alice had stayed behind to be with Mira. Not like they would have been allowed to watch the execution, not like they wanted to either. Gwen had stayed too.Oh, by the Moon, Zezi hoped they were all okay. She screeched to a stop right in front of her daughter's door, flinging it open as fast as she could. Her eyes combed the room and horror seeped through her veins at what she found... or rather what she didn't. Mira's bed was empty. George and Aunt Alice were nowhere to be found, along with Gwen who was...Wait!George and Aunt Alice were on the floor, unconscious. Zezi ran to them, accessing the situation
Mated To The King Of Darkness 153 - Ash-Flakes (Like Snowflake)
Valerick looked unmoved and it was hard for Zezi to figure out what he was feeling through the bond. His side of it was still blocked.This was frustrating!She was sitting right by his side but it seemed like a whole wall had been thrown between them. Her attention moved to the Princess, who sat upright, her gaze unmoving from Riza as she clocked her claws together. Zezi wondered if she had poison beneath them, and mentally noted to herself not to get too close to Laura no matter what. She couldn't be trusted right now. But then, when was she ever worthy of trust? They were all unworthy.From the other corner of Zezi's eyes, she watched Lady Delice's reaction. The Royal Advisor kept a calm demeanour but something about hers and Laura's aura were off.From what Zezi could deduce, they were scared that Riza was going to talk about the White Circle.That made Zezi curious. What about the oath she had made before joining the White Circle to keep their business secret? Everyone had
Mated To The King Of Darkness 152 - Blabbering Silver-haired
After that, Zezi had gone to see Delice. She didn't even have to share her suspicion, the Royal Advisor had beat her to it."Just be vigilant," Lady Delice had said, as they hurried away from the den, and up the stairs. "I think there is more to this than we know, I will ask Laura soon." Leaving Lady Delice, she had ran into Akeem, whose path she had blocked. His eyes which were originally filled with worry turned into those of attack but she refused to move. Instead, she pulled him aside into the Hall of Statues. So much was going on in the Castle lately, their presence here would most likely go unnoticed. "She turned you, didn't she?" Zezi said the moment the door was shut behind her. "But something had been different in the process. That is why you are different."Hope lit in Zezi's heart. Maybe she would be able to get what her daughter was before the tests would be conducted.Maybe her daughter was just like Akeem. Akeem's face shadowed with secrecy. "I don't know what you a

"I don't have it. I gave it away.""To whom?"Her eyes found his, it had only been for a moment before she looked back at the King, pleading."Please, he didn't do it. He didn't mean it--""Who did you give it to?""Oliver. I gave it to Oli, my mate.""It was a gift of trust." Oliver stood up from the chair, his eyes twinkling with the glint of the ever-present humor. "I didn't even use it. I didn't do this, I didn't do anything. Tell them, Laura!" He ended with a smile. Rage blazed in her eyes, seamlessly mixing with helplessness. It was such a sight. Beautiful."You did it."His smile dwindled."I know you did it and that is why things haven't been the same between us.""Things haven't been the same between us because I spent a night with Riza."Gasps filled the court at the implied reference to cheating. It was a scandalous thing and very distasteful thing to happen between mates, fated or chosen. It was an act deserving of punishment.How hypocritical these vampires were, Zez
Mated To The King Of Darkness 150 - The Trial
"What gives you the audacity to put a royal Pureblood in these filthy chains?!" The Princess's voice rang through the hall, bouncing off the walls, her glare directed to the guard that had just dragged her in and pushed her into the Accused box.Raising her head, she accessed her surroundings, a formation that seemed so high, that it made her feel like she was in a pit, with iron railings camping her. On the high chairs on her left side, different Lords were seated, while on her right, the Governors along with her sweet Delice, Oli. Behind her were the people.Wait!Next to her brother was that fur bastard whose existence was an absolute irritation. This was the Royal Court of Lavida, what an absolute disgrace it was to be in this box. Laura felt repulsed by everything. "You stand in the presence of the King and Queen of Lavida, Royal Adviser, Governors, Lords, and the people, to speak in your defence against the accusations that you are the one behind the Volakys attack!" That br
