Mated To The King Of Darkness Chapter 97 - Scented Candles and Feelings
When the King moved towards her drawers, Zezi's heart jumped with panic then she relaxed when she remembered that she had kept the letters somewhere else. His presence was suspicious, she wondered if he had come here to confirm the fact about the letters, find more evidence that could actually stand against her, or had he, despite his demeanour earlier, trusted his sister's claim against her?From where she was standing a little distance away from him and by the door, she could hardly see what he was doing. The fear that rushed into her lungs as different thoughts about what he could possibly be getting involved with at her dressing table, forced her to ask. Thankfully, she had sounded more in control then how her mental state was in."What are you doing?""Setting up candles." He answered bluntly and with a gruff. It was then that she notice the flickering golden glow in front of him and the earthy scent that lightly swept passed her nose.It was so calming, she could almost feel it
Mated To The King Of Darkness Chapter 98 - Broken Blood Oath
He had pulled her hand away from the sheet, his tongue flickering over the deep cuts her claws had dug into it, swallowing the blood as the cuts sealed up almost instantly, a groan of pleasure slipping past his lips. A wave of dizziness hit her and whatever it was tha he had said about how her blood tasted, she couldn't process it.In the next second, Zezi found her back pressed against the bed. Shocked, she immediately tried to sit up, but leaned back almost instantly when she found the King's face to be hovering slightly over hers, his knees caging her to a particular spot.The thundering of her heart was certainly loud enough to block his ears, but that scent of longing from her made it worth it."I could mark you, Zezi."His words reminded her of the night of the Full moon. The way he had held her close to him, the way she had clung to him in return, pulled him closer anytime he moved away. How she had begged for him to take her.Blood rushed up her cheeks and she felt warm all
Mated To The King Of Darkness Chapter 99 - Straining Heartstrings
From the unbuttoned part of his shirt, she could see the zig zag lines on his chest, up to his neck. For a spilt second, she wondered if it had taken over his whole body. "And the wolf is not your mate. His mark is already gone! Vanished." He said with emphasis but it had come across as a threat with his physical look at the moment and Zezi found herself, despite knowing that he wouldn't hurt her, taking a step back while her claws replaced her fingernails. "What more hold does he have on you? What more ties do I have to break for us to be? Make me understand why the unworthy wolves must stand in our way. Why? Tell me.""I love them!" Zezi snapped, overwhelmed by her tiredness and anger. She drove her fingers through her hair, holding a fistful, while she looked around the room, a pained smile plastered on her face. "Yes, I love that unworthy adopted pup and I love that wolf I married very much."Hurt flashed in those eyes and somehow, she felt it hit her heart as he stared back at
Mated To The King Of Darkness Chapter 100 - Blood Betrayal
The gentle smashing sound of a pair of boots on the broken pieces of glass that littered the floor, made Zezi spring up, her claws at ready against the neck of the intruder."It is I, Akeem." The whisper made a lot of difference and she stood straight, retracting her claws, while she looked around at the damage made in her rage. Her heart was racing and she felt hurt, sick in a kind of way she couldn't describe.Even sleep had not taken her troubles away. "What are you doing here?" She was angry. Angry at everyone at this point. Even Gwen had betrayed her, Akeem wasn't on much of a high pendestal to be given a different treatment."I have been trying to reach to you, Zezi, but the King's presence has been much of an obstacle."As if she needed any more reminder of her predicament. "Okay?"She didn't have time to waste, could he not sense that already?"Please come with me to meet the White Circle."As pleased as she should be with that news, her anger still was an obstacle to her ot
Mated To The King Of Darkness Chapter 101 - One Of Us
That didn't make sense.If she was part of the White Circle, why then would she try to expose them? Why would she report her to the King? Why would she put them at such a risk? Did they know what she had done or was she just in the White circle as a spy that reported back to the King? Was she one of them? Or was she a rat? What was she?That explained one thing though?That was why she could read the letter. Because she was an High Pillar. So, maybe Gwen had not betrayed her?"Bring her to me."Zezi looked right at where the voice had come from. The vapour of smoke. What was that?If this was a dream, she had better wake up now. Something told her things were about to even become worse."Please." Lady Delice said, leading the way. They got there and Lady Delice bowed slightly while Akeem fell on one knee. What was going on? Where they worshipping this ball of smoke?"You must bow, Lady Zezi."Zezi folded her hands, a smile tugging up her lips. Fear was for someone who was scared
Mated To The King Of Darkness Chapter 102 - The Painting
One by one, they welcomed her as they introduced themselves. But all that wasn't important to Zezi, in fact, she wished they would just tell her what they had planned already so that they can tell her the role to play. Soon enough, the welcoming was over and a tiny bottle was handed to her. "Feed it to the King." Laura's words pushed through her teeth.That was it?Just for her to feed the content of a tiny bottle to him. Why hadn't Laura done that a long time ago. He believed her and saw her as his sister, it would have been easy. What was this? "What is this?""A slow killing poison." Laura answered, irritated by her questions already but Zezi remained unbothered as usual. Although, from the corner of her eyes, she observed how Lady Delice shifted uncomfortably from one foot to another. Her heart that was in love with the King must be feeling a little sad. Understandable.Zezi rolled the small bottle in-between her fingers.Poison. What kind of poison was this? If it could
Mated To The King Of Darkness Chapter 103 - Blame It On The Matebond
"Where have you been?"The question definitely did not pass through her brain for proper processing and thinking before she blurted it right out of her mouth.It felt too embarrassing to acknowledge that she had indeed said that without thinking, so she refuse to turn and look at him, scared that she might find a contented look on his face. It wasn't like she cared about him. She just wanted to confirm what Gwen had said. It was relevant to her mission that she knew his whereabouts. It would certainly help her in finding out how to feed the content of the tiny bottle to him.How?Well, that wasn't necessary right now. She would figure it out along the way. What she knew was that it was important that his whereabouts were known to her and that was that."Why? Did you miss me?""No." She answered way too quickly.It was the bond. It was the influence of that thing that was making her stupid. He didn't matter to her. He never would.He hummed slightly before he spoke again. "I see the pa
Mated To The King Of Darkness Chapter 104 - Where Is The King?
"Valerick." She said, letting the name roll off her tongue. "What does that mean?""It means brave. My mother named me that because I stayed."Zezi turned the thoughts over in her mind, his mother must have struggled with childbirth. A struggle she herself could relate to. During her years with George she had tried to have a child of her own but it had unsuccessful. She wondered if that had been somehow related to their lack of fated bond.His mother must have been really glad when she had eventually had him. "You like it?""I do." She answered almost immediately.No. She didn't, she absolutely didn't.His smile broadened, "I like that you like it." With a sense of urgency, he added, "I really must leave now, but I will be back soon, as soon as I can make it. I promise." With that, he finally turned away.As she watched him leave, against her thundering heart, her stomach that was fluttering with butterflies and the goosebumps that laced her skin, she reminded herself over and over a

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

"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

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

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
