Chapter Twenty seven
She turned the knob, slowly opening the door, the door was not heavy as the previous one was. She smiled, she had made a huge efforts, now nothing would stop her from running these far.
Quickly without thinking twice, she ran out from the door.
But there was a problem, she did not know the way out.
She saw two men coming from the opposite director, her heart flipped a three sixty degree.
She went hiding on the huge Pillar which was able to cover her body, all thanks she had a tiny body, because there was no way she could fit in here if she was tall and huge.

She heard one of the guard said, as they passed her, not suspecting for once that she was hiding behind the pillars.
Her heart tightened at what she heard, the king had a mate, the huge man with a dark eyes, who she had come to know as the vampire king had a mate, a woman, and she wondered, why her heart flipped at these words.
She breathed, again, he was occupying her senses again. Waving her head quickly, she brushed off the thoughts of the vampire king off from her head, she had a mission, and she intended to execute them to the maximum without failing.
She had seen the road the vampires had exited from, quickly, she followed after them, not knowing if these was the right way to go or not.
The mansion was a big one, hiding at every intervals when she sees a vampire approaching her, and she hope no one finds out that she was missing before she finally escapes from the mansion.
A good charm was leading her in her escapades, that was the only thought that came through her mind, because the mansion was so quiet that no one had seen her escaped, the last door she had opened lead to the exit door, which had no one guarding it.
The door made a creaking sound that made her heart jumped out from her throat at the noise, quickly, she ran, hiding behind the wall. These were vampires and they could hear the noise and perceive her easily and will not hesitate to take her back if they eventually caught her, but again she wondered, why would the vampires still keep her alive up till now, why wasn’t she dead, the vampires and werewolves were enemies, these thought caused her to shudder, maybe, they were looking for a perfect time to kill her, but that wouldn’t happen, not now she was on escaping from them, if only she could find the border that different these pack from the other barren lands, things would have been easier.
Slowly, she crept out from her hiding place, the mansion was situated around thick woods, which made it more possible for her to escape, running behind trees and bushes.
“Fuck Alaric and his daughter, inform the council members that the daughter of the senior elder would be punished infront of all the councils In the civil room for insulting me and my mate, and that will take place, three days time from now.”
Blade said, quickly stopping on his track, something was off, first his mansion was quiet, oddly quiet, he was not expecting a mansion filled with celebration, but the mansion, was insanely quiet.
“Where are the guards?”
Blade asked, turning around to look at Carson who stared up at him quickly.
“Few of your guards were taken by Longe to search for the true identities of the rogues who might be involved in the attack as you had requested.”
Carson said, bowing down a little as he spoke.
“He took all my men?”
Blade brawled, his anger coming out to the fullest, how could Longe take his men out to look for some untamed animals while he left his castle unguarded.
“No, he took few of the guards.”
Carson said, correcting the vampire king.
Blade glared at him, understanding the correction.
“Then where are the rest?”
He asked, now walking to his mate room, he missed her, her scent, that was the only thing that could calm the raging emotions that was beginning to surge through him.
“They practice in the training ground.”
Carson said, quickly Blade turned towards him, glaring at him.
“What do you mean to say, that all my men went to out to train leaving castle unguarded.”
Blade said, gritting his teeth with anger.
Carson nodded his head, in reply to his question. Blade sighed, finally he arrived at the little hall that leads to her room, he was surprised to meet the door widely opened, the guard whom he had ordered to guard her room was no where to be found, he felt his heart tightened, what was going on.
He banged the big door open, his breath hitched, he could no perceive the strawberry scent which always filled his nose anytime he was In these room with her.
He walked towards her bed, not quickly accepting the fact that his mate had suddenly disappeared under his watch.
He felt himself tumbled for a while. Almost loosing his balance.
“Where is my mate, where is she?”
Blade growled, turning to stare at Carson.
Carson waved his head, he was confused the same way the king was also confused.
“I do not k…..”
The door opened revealing Selene, holding a paper bag on her hands. Together with the guard who was guarding her room.
“Bell….”
She stopped on her tracks, seeing her son in his mate room, but something was off about him. He looked as If he was ready to rip off a head not just a head, but two heads and she wondered what must have caused that.
Blade turned to look up at his mother, then his eyes glared at someone behind her, Selene turned back, to look at the guard who was standing beside her, the guard now looked stricken with fear. Without no doubt, she knew something was off, something horrible had taken place.
Blade ran with full speed, swiftly, he rammed the guard on the wall, causing a loud scream to escape from his lips.
He could feel the fear that oozed out from the guard who was caged under his arms, he held him on the throat, glaring at him with full intensity, without no doubt, he knew his eyes was shifting between black and red, his veins which was beginning to pop out with its greenish veins in full display.
“Where is my mate?”
Blade asked, It was a simple question, yet it held meaning.
“Mate…”
The guard whispered, these was the closest he had been with the vampire king.
“Answer me you bastard.”
Blade growled with anger,
“She sent me t….”
“Where is she?”
Blade asked again, all he wanted was to see his mate not to hear some silly excuses from him.
“I do not know my king, she se…..”
His words was cut short when the king slammed him on the wall and another terrible scream escaped from his lips.
Blade was furious, insanely furious, he had ordered his guard to protect his mate and he could not achieve such simple task.
Blade walked towards him, about to knock his breath off him, the guard was already stricken with fear as blood oozed out from his nose and bruises which was already forming on his body. He took hold of his neck, watching as he struggled with all his power, he was about to rip off his heart….
“Stop!”
He heard a voice said, quickly he turned around, looking at the vampire who had dared commanded him not to take away a useless life. He glared at his mother with anger.
“It was not the guard’s fault, he was sent by your mate. He was sent to me. Now I demand you to free him.”
Selene said, glaring back at Blade with the same intensity he was glaring at her.
“And why would I obey your command, because you are my mother?”
Blade said, putting a pressure on the vampire’s throat, making him scream out loud.
“No, not because am your mother but because I am the queen and I demands you do so, moreover, the more you stand here glaring and trying to take a guard’s life, the more your mate runs away farther from you.”
Selene said, still glaring at him. Her words earned her a growl from Blade, obviously not happy with her last statement.
Blade left the guard quickly, making the guard fall on the ground in a loud thud.
Blade gave a bitter smile, he stared at his mother. She was right, but he never liked the tone she used to speak to him. He was the vampire king.
He strode towards her, stopping two feet away from her. He said.
“Mind the way you speak to me, remember I still remain your king. Also, these position of yours would not remain with you forever, be ready, for your queen ship to end.”
Throwing her a light smile, he walked towards the door, stopping for a while.
“Carson, gather the men, we run after my mate, she must not have gone far.”
Blade said, without waiting to hear any response, he left the room, running out into the woods in search for his mate.
