All Chapters of Mated To The King Of Darkness: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

While they spent time together once again, a displeased soul watched from the dark.For Akeem, his ability to remain unnoticed for as long as he wished and to wield the dark to his will, was starting to feel like a double-edged sword.It pierced his heart to watch his High Pillar with another, sharing moments that he had begged for but never received.His own Sire.Enough!He had seen enough to shatter his heart, therefore, he disappeared to deliver the extract he had in his fist to the Queen.Even as he left, their whispers from the bar room followed him and haunted him. Her laughter floated to his ears, through the hallway as he departed.If only she would ever laugh with him that way -at the things he said, if only she would ever allow his embrace without rebuking him and telling him that his feelings weren't what he believed them to be.If only she acted with him, like she was

The Meeting Ground was very scanty, only a selected few had been invited to this.The first thing Delice noticed when she got there was the fact that Zezi had not been invited."She is tightly occupied with her assigned duty." Laura had said when Delice had asked why she had been ousted from the meeting. "I find myself lucky. Honestly, to be rid of the presence of that dog gives me the utmost relief. I'm so glad her stench isn't sticking up the place." She had ended with a giggle as she clicked her claws against the bangles around her wrist.Laura didn't seem offended that they had not been spending a lot of time together as they used to, and neither did she seem like she was grieving her mate, Oliver, like she had seemed to be doing during the few times Delice had ran into her in the Castle.She must be handling his death really well.Poor, Laura. She wished to do more for her."Also, about the poison, we

The shovel hit the dark loose soil concealing the dead beneath, ripping the earth apart under the pouring, angry rain that declared its presence with thunder and lightning.Their robes stuck to their bodies, absolutely drenched but they didn't care.Delice's focus was on the grave, whatever she would find in the coffin was about to define everything.Finally, Akeem dragged the box out and he threw it open on her command.Oliver's scent sipped into the air, along with that of rotting flesh. She at first thought that it was strange that Laura hadn't taken measures to embalm his body but given the circumstances, that couldn't have been possible.Delice took a step back, already feeling terrible that she had defiled the grave of her best friend's mate because of some alcoholic delusional. Her eyes misted with tears and she blinked her tears away.Frozen, she watched."Should I seal the coffin back

They would be back to being enemies in the morning.That was what Valerick and Zezi had agreed upon but up till this moment, they shared the same bed.They avoided anything that would lead to them having that conversation like a plague, and pretended that all was well between them.If they pretended well enough, maybe they would be the happy mates they were trying to be. The King and Queen of Lavida with a flawless union.If they just kept cuddling and kissing like this, maybe everything would be alright with the world... their world.But the illusion they had created for themselves could only last so long.There had been an almost quiet knock on the door and Valerick had to answer it. He came back in after a while and went straight to his laptop. He flipped it open and typed in some things, a deep frown etched into his face. He mumbled some words to himself, then looked up from the laptop, his face meetin

"You were crying all over him."Valerick had been silent since they had left Nicholas' office, he had been quiet in the hallway on their way up here, quiet when he had locked the door to their room, quiet when she had stepped into the bathroom to wash her face, and he followed her.He had been so quiet, it was terrifying.She knew he wouldn't hurt her though but that didn't stop the uneasiness his silence made settle in her veins.Only after he had shut the bathroom door did he speak, and Zezi finally understood why their bond felt strained in her mind."Crying all over him like he meant something to you."She swiped her hand neatly across her cheek, wiping her tears away."George is family.""I will never understand that you love him. Still. I try, I really do but I can't understand." His voice was cold and bitter, smiting the tiled walls of the bathroom, clashing with the sound of water trickling in the tub.There were rose petals on the surface of the water.Zezi could only suspect
