All Chapters of Mated To The King Of Darkness: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Invitations were sent out quickly.The castle was bustling with different activities in preparation for the fast-approaching Joining Ceremony. It reminded Zezi of the time she had just gotten to the Castle and seen how the hall was decorated.Gwen had told her back then that it was for the King's wedding and she had been petrified. It was funny that now it was happening and she wasn't feeling the way she had felt those six months ago. She was scared, yes, but it was for a different reason. Something more complicated than her hatred for him or his kind.Immediately Lady Delice had gotten the wind of the coming Joining Ceremony; that was after the night she and Valerick had completed the bond, she had appeared at her doorstep, looking absolutely worried for her. "You know what is going to happen to him. Lady Zezi, why are you letting this happen? You are going to die." She had declared, her feverish hands holding Zezi's own with worry.Even though Zezi knew the ceremony was happening

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

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.

"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

"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
