Mated To The King Of Darkness 135 - So This Is Love...
The dance finally came to an end, and as Valerick led them away from the dancefloor, Zezi peered over her shoulder, her gaze fixed on the door of the hall.They still weren't here yet. "Basit and Riza," Valerick said as they approached the couple and Zezi's heart skipped a beat.He knew them?Of course, he knew them. They had been part of his father's army.They were not Volakys though, the former King hadn't turned them into that. One wonders why. They bowed lightly, showing their respect. They hadn't changed so much since the last time she had seen them, which was expected. Although, instead of Riza allowing her long white hair to flow behind her, she had it braided, so it wasn't sweeping the floor like it had been the night they had met. Basit still kept his full white beard that shrouded his face in mystery. They were dressed in black, a sharp contrast to the color that went along with this type of occasion. "It is good to see you both, thank you for coming."He was just havi
Mated To The King Of Darkness 136 - Reunion and Drama, Maybe.
She was headed to the door but someone had appeared in front of her. Ah, by by the Moon, Nicholas again."What are you doing?""Ensuring you are safe.""What," her voice was laced with dry humour and annoyance, "like a bodyguard?"He cringed, refusing to answer that. "Aren't you just a doctor?""Tell that to your mate."Zezi frowned. "Once he gets back, I'll gladly make myself scarce. I don't really fancy your presence.""And I don't fancy yours."He shrugged, sipping from his glass of wine.It smelt like wine this time. "Good."Great, now there was no way she would be able to go after the trio. It didn't seem like any excuse would work on Nicholas, so she didn't even try. What kind of relationship did Valerick have with Nicholas that made him trust this doctor with her safety anyway?Although, it was a good thing he had left someone to look after her, especially with how most of the Lords were unhappy to have her as their Queen, what Zezi found puzzling was that he trusted Nichol
Mated To The King Of Darkness 137 - Something Might Be Changing
Lady Delice had been part of the vampires to watch the reunion. It was good to see the little pup. She had enjoyed the company of little Mira when she had been in the Castle a couple of months ago. Her eyes watered and the urge to go to the grave to see her own little Medallion washed over her. Life would have been so perfect with her son. It would have held the greatest meaning and something told her that she would have been truly happy. "I will go with you," someone said behind her and she turned, her gaze settling on Akeem who was dressed in a nice pair of red shirt and a darker shape of pants. "What?"Akeem leaned on the railing of the balcony, his gaze moving to the King, his mate, and her family who were discussing something. "I will go to the grave with you." He turned to her with a smile, revealing his perfect set of white teeth. "Medallion needs a visit."She shook her head, taking a slow sip from her glass. "You know you can't come with me."His smile slid off his face.
Mated To The King Of Darkness 138 - Toxic Cycle And Behind Closed Doors
The effect of the alcohol seemed to have vanished from Laura immediately, and she pulled away, angry. "You snapped at me?"Delice already felt sorry. "Laura, I'm just a little tired and---""Well, you are supposed to be there with me, no matter what! I'm going through one of the toughest moments of my life and you are snapping at me?""Laura, I apologize. I'm just in a terri---""You are being selfish by not comforting me. Do you know how it feels to be cheated on?"Delice was stunned. Of course, she knew. Laura and Oliver made her understand that feeling perfectly.Laura's claws dug slightly into Delice's wrists, tears dancing at the brim of her lower eyelids. "Oliver is cheating on me, and you are snapping at me, when I came to you with my problems? This isn't how a good friend should be. Honestly," she paused, her voice hard, "I'm very disappointed in you, Delice. You are my priority, I do everything for you. I deserve to be your priority too."Somewhere along that, Laura's tea
Mated To The King Of Darkness 139 - All In Due Time
"Now I see why the gun is so close to your heart."His lips trailed the base of her neck, till he could pick the pendant of her necklace with his teeth, grazing her skin in the process. "Isn't it?"She shuddered. "It is.""Who gave it to you?"She was trying to pull away. He was letting all her plans slip away from her. "I don't think that is important." "Was it part of the military supplies?""It really isn't---."His fangs bit into her skin, and a gasp tumbled from her mouth. "Who?""George. It was a gift. He got into the Capital's military before I did.""A gift. Twice now, I see."His hands went slack around her and Zezi was very grateful for the wall that had been close enough for her to lean against for support. She shook her head, fighting to block off her side of the bond while she tried to steady her breathing.It wasn't working, but he could do it, why couldn't she?!Maybe because she was distracted. He always had her so flustered. This was ridiculous!She had to do bett
Mated To The King Of Darkness 140 - I Am Closer
((18+ - I have a feeling I should have given this warning in the previous chapter too.))Pleasure tore down her barriers, and her eyes rolled back, but Valerick pulled his hand away from her before she could welcome it. A protest was on the tip of her tongue, before he spun her around and pushed her into the sculpture. He groaned with pleasure as he sank his veiny length into her wet, pulsating walls. The invasion made a silent gasp escape her lips, her eyelids fell shut as she struggled around his grith, and she clawed into the sculpture so she could stay on her feet. "Zezi."That pushed her towards the peak again, till his fangs settled a little too deeply against her skin, his claws dug into her thighs, and he warned, "Not until I permit it.""Please, no." Her climax became harder to fight now that she had been instructed against it. His hand went in front of her, going around her neck and angling her chin, forcing her to look at him. While the other held her angled to him. He s
Mated To The King Of Darkness 141 - What If There Was Another Way?
"That is impossible. I didn't take it tonight." He smiled. "Yes, and why is that?"Wheels spun in her head as she searched for an excuse that wouldn't seem suspicious. "It tastes nasty."When he laughed, relief washed over her. For a second there, she had been terrified that he knew about the poison. It was stupid though. If he knew, she certainly wouldn't be here right now. He would have thrown her into the dungeon instead of making her his Queen and putting his people into the hands of danger. "Finally, something we both agree on."Silence settled between them, till reality dawned on her and she broke it."I want you to stop killing my people, Valerick.""Not this, not now." He shook his head. "Please, let me have this. It feels so good."Before he took her against the statue was the perfect time, but she had been too weak then. She couldn't foolishly bask in something that wasn't real, and relish in something that wasn't right without a just cause. "You didn't need the month
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 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
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
