The Vampire King's Mate 42. The Royal Academy
IVORY POVThe night air was heavy and entirely devoid of the familiar city sounds I had grown up with. There were no sirens, no distant hum of highway traffic, and no comforting buzz of smartphones vibrating in my pockets. Instead, there was an oppressive, ancient silence that seemed to press down on my chest as we stood at the base of the hill.We were currently staring at the council building, which easily seemed to be the tallest structure in the entire territory so far.It was an old building, but it still stood tall and imposing against the dark velvet of the night sky. The architecture was completely unlike anything from the modern world it was constructed from massive blocks of weathered, dark gray stone that looked as though they had been pulled straight from the earth centuries ago. Ivy climbed aggressively up the western facade, its dark leaves whispering in the wind like a gathering crowd. The windows were long, narrow slits encased in heavy wrought-iron frames, casting sh
The Vampire King's Mate 41. Stand Down
IVORY POVThe ride went on for hours and hours, stretching on and on until the constant motion felt like a punishment.Just when I thought the nightmare had to be over, the driver Marco happily announced from the front seat that we had only just covered half of the journey.That was the breaking point for my body.A sudden wave of nausea hit me so hard that I couldn't breathe, and I violently emptied my stomach contents into a small trash bag Marco tossed to the back. My head pounded, and my skin felt clammy and cold. Seeing me look so pale, Mom reached into a bag and pulled out a light snack of crackers and a juice box. I forced them down, completely exhausted. Slowly, the rocking of the van caught up to me, and my eyelids started to get droopy.Darkness blinded my vision. As the world faded, I fell fast asleep, with the agonizing thoughts of Daniel still lingering on my mind. Where was he? Was he looking for me? Did he think I ran away from him?A light tap on my shoulders rudely s
The Vampire King's Mate 40. Marco Faster
IVORY POV"What? Mom, you cannot be serious? He is literally my boyfriend!" My voice cracked as I shouted over the sound of the engine. The golden glow of the prom was fading, replaced by the harsh, clinical orange of the streetlights."What do you mean 'stay away from him'? You might as well tell us to break up!""Ivory, you have to listen to me! Just do as I say and everything will be fine," she snapped, her eyes fixed on the road, her knuckles white."Even when you are wrong? Even when you speak like you’re slowly losing your mind?" I felt the sting of hot tears. I couldn't wrap my head around it. "I can’t believe you are saying this after you treated Daniel like your literal favorite son! You beamed at him! You trusted him!"The argument didn't stop. It raged all the way to our front door....a bitter, ugly back-and-forth that felt like tearing a seam. I was desperate to defend the boy who had just crowned me his queen, and she was desperate to lock me in a cage built of ghost sto
The Vampire King's Mate 39. Faster Marco
IVORY POV The morning sun filtered through my curtains, stinging my eyes and pulling me out of a heavy, dreamless sleep. My hand instinctively reached for the empty space beside me before I remembered I was in my own room, not the sprawling, silk-covered bed at the Connor mansion. I groaned as I rolled over, feeling a sharp twinge in my lower back and a dull ache in my thighs. My phone buzzed on the nightstand a string of notifications that made my heart do a little somersault. 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒆𝒍: 𝑫𝒊𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍, 𝑴𝒂 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒆? 𝑫𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒆𝒍: 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕.

I bit my lip, a heat creeping up my neck that had nothing to do with the morning sun. I typed back a quick, “I’m perfectly fine, stop worrying,” but
The Vampire King's Mate 38. You Have To Believe Me
IVORY POV The drive back from Daniel’s felt like floating through a dream. My skin still felt the ghost of his touch, and the air in the car seemed to hum with the memory of his voice. I pulled into our driveway at the exact minute Mom had demanded....midnight sharp. I didn't want to give her any reason to fuel her new, strange paranoia. The house was dark, save for a single light flickering from the upstairs landing. I let myself in, the click of the lock sounding like a gunshot in the silence. "Mom? Mom? Mom!" I called out, my voice echoing as I climbed the stairs. I headed straight for her bedroom, my heels clicking softly on the floorboards. "Mom, I am back!" I stopped just outside her door. It was slightly ajar, casting a thin, sharp line of light across the hallway. I was about to push it open, but the sound of her voice stopped me. It wasn't her "Mom" voice—the one she used to ask about my day. It was frantic. Cold. I peered through the crack. She was prancing around the
The Vampire King's Mate 37. Upstairs
IVORY POVThe theater was a blur of shadows and the flickering blue light of the TV, but I couldn't have told you what was happening on the screen if my life depended on it. All I could feel was Daniel. He was a mountain of heat behind me, his breath fanning against the shell of my ear. The air in the mansion had grown heavy, thick with the scent of his expensive cologne and the raw, electric tension that had been humming between us since the night we met in that dark alleyway.His hand, large and calloused, slid slowly up the silk of my green dress. He didn't just touch me; he claimed me. His fingers traced the line of my thigh, hitching the fabric higher and higher, leaving a trail of goosebumps in their wake."You have no idea how long I have been wanting to do this, Ivory," he whispered, his voice dropping into a register so low it made my toes curl.I shivered, my head falling back against his shoulder. "Really... bad boy?" I asked in a tiny, breathless voice. I tried to sound
The Vampire King's Mate 14. Long Night
I woke up with the kind of dread that usually precedes a root canal. The mere thought of stepping onto that campus—facing Stella’s venom, Blake’s heavy handed cruelty, or the unpredictable, magnetic nightmare that was Daniel Connor made me want to bury myself under my duvet and never come out."Ivo
The Vampire King's Mate 13. Lovely Boy
Ivory POVThe adrenaline from the mugging was still buzzing in my ears, but it was quickly being replaced by a familiar, sharp irritation. Daniel was standing there, looking like a dark saint under a flickering streetlight, acting like he hadn't just watched me almost get kidnapped for his own amus
The Vampire King's Mate 11. My Break
Ivory POV I was still struggling to untangle myself from Daniel’s lap…..my heart performing a frantic tap dance against my ribs when the bell above the door shrieked."Daniel!"The voice was like a serrated blade wrapped in silk. I froze, my hands still pressed against Daniel’s chest. For the firs
The Vampire King's Mate 10. But Mr Clover
Ivory POV “Gav!” I hissed again, my voice a desperate, low frequency vibration. No answer. The kitchen door had swung shut, leaving me alone in the line of fire.The bell above the door was still vibrating, a tiny, tinny sound that felt like a death knell in the sudden silence of the diner.“Good
