Bedding My Vampire Mate

Derrick glanced at the guy by his side after Joanna and her group were far gone.

"This is his turn," He started. He lifted his hand and patted Raymond's shoulders. "Yours will surely come so there is no to feel down about it...,"

"Whoever said I feel down about this?" He challenged, brushing off Derrick's hand.

"Compared to the King, he is the least of my worries right now".

"Huh?" He exclaimed, his jaw dropping. "Joanna hangs out with him all the time. Are you trying to say you don't see him as a rival?" He asked in confusion.

At that moment Derrick started to question what he believes in.

He had always believed that the reason Raymond couldn't stand Amos' presence was that he saw him as his biggest threat to winning over Joanna's heart.

Now that he said otherwise he didn't know what to believe anymore.

Was his assumption wrong from the beginning?

"While trying to pursue her, I had forgotten the fact that for her to solely belong to me, I need to take care of the King...," Raymond trailed as he started strolling towards the path Audrey and Kyle took.

"Between the King and Amos who is just like every normal guy who do you think is easy to handle...,"

"Amos, of course," Derrick blurted.

"And that is why I said he is the least of my worries now. The King is the one I should be dealing with and not him...,"

"And how are you gonna do that when we haven't even found out where he has been hiding huh?" Derrick countered. He halted and stared at his friend's back.

"We have been searching for him...,"

"Hey!" Raymond shouted. He looked to his left and then to his right. After he had confirmed that none was close by he brought back his gaze to Derrick's face.

"Don't you know that we aren't supposed to discuss our mission in public....,"

"But I have already created a barrier using my powers. They can't hear no matter if they are vampires or werewolves," Derrick replied, folding his hands behind his back.

"So what if you have done that aah?" Raymond snapped. "Have you already forgotten the most important rules a spy must follow?"

He paused and tilted his head so he had a clear view of Derrick's face. "If you have forgotten then I don't mind calling Mr Damon to remind you about it".

He stuck his right hand in his trouser's pockets and began walking away.

"Hey, why did you have to mention that annoying man's name...,"

"Obviously because he is the only one who can strengthen you," He replied.

Back on the other street, Joanna walked side by side with Amos while Chris walked behind.

As he followed them, he didn't forget to leave a huge gap between them.

After she waited for over ten minutes for him to strike up a conversation, Joanna got fed up with the guy's attitude.

"For how long are you gonna treat me this way ugh?" She berated and halted.

She glared at the back of the man who just paused in his tracks.

"Knowing you very well, I am aware you wouldn't have treated me this way only based on what I said that day. I mean I said the worst things in the past and yet you didn't react or get mad at me so why would you now?" She pointed out.

She sauntered to where he stood and took her position in front of him.

"If I had done something wrong other than what I said that day I expected you to have confronted me about it instead of treating me like I mean nothing to you," She poured out the frustration she held back all these days.

All this while she talked, Amos didn't utter a word. He just kept looking at her angry expression as she poured out her frustration.

"Amos, I love you," She confessed and leaned forward.

Chris turned his back on them when he saw how close their faces were to each other.

"I can't stand you being mad at me and that is why I am doing everything within my capacity to earn your forgiveness," She expressed, her eyeballs glued on his.

"It hasn't been that long since our relationship became official. Right now I have less than two weeks to spend with you before you return to the palace...," Joanna trailed off.

She raised her right hand and placed it on his right shoulder.

"Every second and minute of the day is way too precious for us to spend it fighting," She whispered.

Her face inched closer after he showed no sign of rejection.

"Let's go back to how we were before the misunderstanding hmm".

She wrapped her hands around his neck and tried to kiss his lips but Amos tilted his head sideways.

"Chris, escort her home," He instructed. He held her hand and gently pushed her away from him.

"Your priority is to make sure no harm comes to her until she gets home," He added.

He shuffled about three steps away from where the fuming Joanna stood.

"I don't need anyone's protection and definitely not yours," She yelled, her fierce glares settled on his moving back.

"If you dare as much as to leave her side for even a second when you didn't see her walk into Anderson's gate... then that will be the day you cease to exist in this world," His cold voice echoed in the street as he strode without a pause.

AHHHH!

An ear-splitting scream filled with anger and pain rang out through the entire street as Joanna sank into a squatting position.

Veins popped out of her forehead as she hugged her legs close to her chest.

"W-w-why is he doing this to me?" She yelled. Her eyes burned but she vouched not to shed a single tear.

Chris peered at Amos' back. He was so certain he would race back after he heard Joanna's outburst but Amos didn't halt, not to mention run back to her.

[If someone had told me that His Majesty would one day treat Miss Joanna this way I wouldn't have believed it but here is the....]

Her heavy breathing disrupted Chris' thoughts. He ran to where she squatted and bent beside her.
