All Chapters of My Mate is a Vampire: Chapter 11 - Chapter 17

King Kerman’s POV.My mind was still on the discussion I had with my mother a few days earlier so as I stood in front of my mirror, getting dressed for the morning meeting, I still felt a bit of anger. It wasn’t like that was the first time she was rubbing it in my face. Whenever she got the chance, she always reminded me about what she had to go through to secure the throne for me after my horrible past.That was the defense she always used to shut me up.The defense she always used to get me to do her bidding and of course, it’s always worked. However, I couldn’t imagine myself falling for her trap yet again.Not for this. Not for the woman I intended to spend the rest of my life with.I knew if I’m married to Thalia, she and my mother would only end up as a force against me. I would ultimately be alone in my own palace and I couldn’t let that.Besides, her father was another force to reckon with.I knew he had one or two things to say about my reign so naturally, there was no way

Elle’s POVI stopped in the middle of the hallway, my mind going back to the direction I was given by sir Caius.I was still confused but shortly enough, I sighted what I believed to be a guard and walked towards him.“Uhm hi, I don’t mean to bother you, but could you direct me to the King’s office?”He drew his head back, clearly surprised by my question.“What? Are you new to the palace? Who doesn’t know the king’s office?”I swallowed, giving him an awkward laughter and trying to mask my rookieness. “Actually, I had a serious fall recently, and it has kind of messed with my head. If you could just point me in the direction, I would appreciate it.”He ran his eyes over me one more time as if he couldn’t believe the words coming out of my mouth but ultimately lifted his hand, pointing to a direction.“Oh, thanks.”I scurried off before he could say anything again. This was because I instinctively remembered Mara’s warnings. Although it was quite vague, I could tell she didn’t want

King Kerman’s POV“Wh—what do you mean?” “You heard me. I don’t plan on repeating myself.”She locked eyes with me and we stared in silence.I had things to do. Hell, I just received a report about another missing person’s case. I should be all over the place trying to catch the bastard responsible so he can take me to their master because I know he must have someone behind him. However, no matter how much I wanted to get up off that chair, I couldn’t do it.Her silliness was all I could think of.Lordship?Uhm, hi?I’m the king for goodness sake. Who is the brat trying to get on my nerves?After a while in total silence, she finally opened her mouth.“Well, it depends…If you’re a worthy leader, then of course, I must be ready to put my life on the line for you.”Silence.Ready to put her life on the line for me if she deems me worthy enough.Hmm.I ran my eyes over her one more time before rising to my feet. “Get up, we’re leaving the palace.”“Wait, right now?”“Why?
