Chapter-41 Her Vampire mate
"Lord, we have reached the outskirts of the Pearly Canines. What are your next orders? Do we enter or wait for king Alexander to come here and greet us?" A substitute who was driving the car asked his lord, who was sitting in the back seat with his shades on. ??
"We go. I can feel that Vanessa has done her work. She is awakened." The Lord said with a smirk on his face.
"As you say, lord." The driver said before he started driving the car inside the pearly Canines.
Since Pearly Canines was a place for royal werewolves, almost everyone could smell the people from new species entering the Kingdom grounds.
"Hey, aren't they vampires?"
"Yes, they are. I can smell them."
"What are they doing here?"
"I don't know either. My husband works in the palace, but no mention of vampires coming here was heard."
"Tell all the kids to go inside the house."
"I wonder if they are here to create some trouble."
"I think we should tell our king Alexander about it."
The whisperings started as the cars started to pass them one by one.
"They are funny." The Lord commented, smiling at the people, whose hushed whispers he was clearly able to hear because of his vampire hearing before closing his eyes.
In the guest chambers of the royal palace, Victoria woke up, feeling her whole mouth hurting and her body aching.
She felt like she has drunk a few tanks of liquor and now has a killing hangover. It was almost the same feeling one would get after being run down by a heavy truck.
"Mmm..." She groaned when she found herself unable to open her eyes.
"You are awake, il Mio Amore (my love)." She heard a man's voice, and even though she was not being able to open her eyes, it felt like a part within her was reacting to this voice.
It felt like recognition, but no matter how much she tried to remember the source of the voice, she couldn't pinpoint who it was.
After what felt like an eternity but we're only a few seconds, she finally forced her eyes open after struggling for so long.
Blinking her eyes to correct her blurry vision, she looked at the man standing in front of her. Or should she say two men in front of her?
"Alexander." She said, and Alexander immediately went to her side and scooped her in his arms.
"I am here, don't worry. How are you feeling now, sweetheart?" He asked, his voice filled with love, however, from his tense shoulders, Victoria knew something wasn't right.
"What happened? What happened to me, Alexander? I feel like... like a bulldozer ran over me" She said, and as much as Alexander wanted to stay and explain it to her, he knew, he won't be able to explain such a drastic thing to her without breaking something and scaring her more than she already was.
Ashton, who was standing in the corner of the room and watching their sweet interaction, chuckled at her funny description of awakening and transformation. This was first even for him, and he couldn't help but find her funny.
"He will explain that to you, sweetheart," Alexander said before he kissed her temple and exited the room with a frown on his face.
If anything, he wanted to kill someone right now and didn't know how to control his anger anymore.
Shifting to his wolf hunter to ease his building tensions, he ran out of the house to run and calm his nerves because he was assured that being Victoria's vampire mate, Ashton won't hurt her.
An hour ago~~
"Daniel, you stay with your mate. I will be bringing her back to the mansion. Maybe her powers are reacting again." Alexander said to Daniel, who nodded stiffly and let Alexander take Victoria out from the cafe towards the mansion.
As he was rushing towards the palace, he felt a nudge to his mind link and couldn't help but open it hurriedly since he knew that it must be something important for someone to nudge him.
"Alpha king, some vampires have entered the kingdom. They look from the Royal kingdom. They are driving towards the palace." Sean said, and Alexander immediately haltered in his steps.
"Mmmm.." Victoria groaned, making him shift his gaze back to her.
Right now taking her to the royal chamber was more important. He can deal with the vampires later. If the royals are coming in a few numbers towards the palace, then either they are here to say something, negotiate or maybe propose.
Reaching inside the royal chambers, he placed Victoria on the bed before calling the doctor and asking her to tend to her.
"What happened to her?" He asked impatiently.
"I...I am sorry Alpha. I am not sure what has happened to her." The doctor said, making him groan in frustration.
"I am giving you ten minutes-" before he could complete his sentence, he was interrupted by Theodore knocking on the door.
"Dad, not right now. Something happened to Victoria and-" he started but was cut off by Theodore.
"Lord of vampires, Ashton is here. It's regarding Victoria." Theodore said before leaving, and as reluctant as he was to leave her alone, Alexander nodded at the doctor to continue her check-up before he followed his father.
From Sean's message earlier, he knew that the royals were coming, but he didn't know that they were here for Victoria. Now, what would a vampire king want from Victoria?
Reaching the hallways, Alexander looked at Ashton, his wolf getting a bit edgy.
"I hope we can make this quick. My mate is-" Alexander started but was cut off by Ashton, who stood and smiled at him.
"Can you take me to her? I would like to meet her." Ashton said with a smirk on his face.
"How dare you even ask that? No, of course not. You cannot meet my mate. She is not in the right condition. Besides, I would never trust a leech-like you near her after what troubles you've been creating in the werewolf species." Alexander said nonchalantly, his tone dead serious.
"I am not talking about meeting your love, Victoria, King Alexander. I am talking about meeting my mate, Emerald. As far as I know, she has been awakened." Ashton said with a calm face, not at all taking his words to heart.
"She is not emerald. She is Victoria." Alexander specified before he turned around, wanting to check up on his love and see if the doctor found out something.
"You are highly mistaken, alpha king. I am sure you wouldn't have missed the red eyes and her extended fangs today, right?" Ashton said, stopping Alexander dead in his tracks.
"Whether you accept it or not. But Victoria has my mate Emerald within her, just like Jasmine and Carla. Emerald is my mate. And if you haven't been notified, then let me tell you, I am not her only mate. There is this mate of Jasmine too, who is a powerful witch." Ashton said, and as much as Alexander wanted to deny the fact, he turned around, looking at Ashton horrified.
"How can this be possible? How can a single soul has soo many mates?" Alexander asked confused.
"This is something, we all are confused about. It's not a technical thing that we can call a glitch. I am sure that Jasmine's mate, who is a strong witch will try to find the solution soon because even I won't want to share my mate with anyone." Ashton said, making Alexander nod, who somehow felt like from the moment Victoria has come back, rather than becoming his, she has only been drifting away slowly.
And the mere thought of her living him was like an arrow in his chest.
"However, till this matter is solved, Victoria, or Jasmine, or Emerald, or Carla, I hope we can maintain some distance from them because though the body belongs to Victoria, which is your love, not all of her belongs to you," Ashton said as he followed Alexander to where Victoria was lying unconscious in pain, making him clench his fists.
Present time ~~~~
"Who are you? And why do I feel a connection towards you?" Victoria asked, feeling a bit edgy now that Alexander has left her alone. And from his angry face, she was sure that it was something bad.
"Well, I am Ashton, Emerald. The lord of the vampires, and as to why you feel such a deep connection to me is because I am your mate." Ashton said, and just like that, her world shook once again.
