Purple Blood

Chapter 62

Blake was driving Vi crazy; she sent him away at least 50 times, only for him to return after a few minutes. "Blake, I will stab you. I swear to God I will."

He scoffed, getting a little too comfortable with her. But if she was being honest, she really didn't mind. "At least eat something and then take a nap on the couch. I swear if you do that, I will leave you alone."

"Fine, but you promise to leave me alone?"

He did his arm crossbow thing and promised.

Blake was furious. She was pregnant, and he knew that she'd barely gotten any sleep. She barely ate, too. He knew that he was driving her crazy, but her fiance was asleep, and they couldn't do anything, so it was up to him to make sure she was okay. 

He stormed off to the kitchens and picked up a tray of food for her. When he got back, she was on the ground. He ran to her and picked her up in his arms. He took off running to her chambers. He was terrified of the one sleeping in her room. But since he was the one who was in there, he'd deal. 

He gently laid her down next to the sleeping Vampire and then did something he swore he'd never do. He walked to the other side of the bed and shook the Vampire until he woke up. "I don't have to be awake. Just do what you want with me." 

Jungkook heard a gasp and an awkward chuckle. That wasn't Vi; that was a man. He shot up and grabbed the man by the throat; he was half-crazed. He couldn't protect her while he was sleeping, and a man got into her room. "She needs your help! Please. I don't know what to do. The Queen needs you."

That was probably the only thing that could have snapped him out of his crazed state. "What's going on?" He dropped his stupid guard and looked at her. She was dressed in different clothes. He had to smile a bit. She really looked like a vampire queen right now—all in black and red.

"What is she wearing? That's not what I put her in before bed." Kook whipped around to look at her guard, who was bright red.

"The nobles were in the throne room practically rioting. I had to get her up and out there to fix it. But she barely slept and didn't eat. I convinced her to eat and then nap for a bit, but she was on the floor when I returned with her food. Help her, please. I don't know what to do."

Jungkook narrowed his eyes, "why do you care so much?"

"She's my Queen; I'm her guard."

"That doesn't explain why you care so much. You don't seem troubled over the King dying."

"I promise to explain everything to you if you help her."

TVampireire scoffed, "I would help her regardless; she's going to be my wife. Now go get her food." Blake took off, and Jungkook got on the bed. He bit his wrist and held it to her lips. "Oh, Princess, what are we going to do with you? Do we need to keep you tied to our beds to get you to rest?"

Her eyes blinked open, and she looked around, "Kookie, how did I get in here?"

He snorted, "Your overzealous guard carried you in here. You fainted in your office, and he brought you here because he was scared."

Before she could even say anything, Blake barged in with a tray full of food, "Oh, thank God you are okay. You scared me to death."

"Yah, don't just barge into her room. What if she was indecent?"

He narrowed his eyes at the vampire, "She is sick; you love her more than that."

This kid is a little too smart for his good. "Blake, thank you for taking care of me. I truly appreciate it."

"Well someone has to, they can only watch you during the night. You need someone to protect you during the day." Vi went to open her mouth, but he shut her down, "I know you could easily kill me; you've proved that. But you don't have eyes in the back of your head."

Hmm, maybe they can keep him around after all. He does seem to care about her genuinely, Jungkook mused to himself. He got the tray on her lap, and she started eating. He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at her guard. He wanted an explanation.

Blake grabbed a chair and brought it closer, "I'm a few years older than the Queen, and for as long as I could remember, I was told that when the baby was born, I'd be their guard. I'd be raised alongside the heir and watch out for them. Their thinking was, if we were raised together, I'd take better care of them." 

A tear fell down his eyes, "the day she was born, I was so excited. There were no other children in the castle, and finally, my best friend was born. I sat outside the Queen's chambers and listened to her scream as she gave birth. When I heard the baby cry, I smiled so big. My friend was finally here."

He took a deep breath. "It took a few days before they let me see her. My Dad picked me up and held me over her bassinet. She was so tiny, but she blinked up at me and smiled. I reached out, and she held my little finger. I was in love."

Kook started growling, damnit he is going to be a mother fucking issue. Blake looked at him with wide eyes; he realized his mistake. "No, not that kind of love. I promise I look at her like a big brother looks at their sister."

That made him feel a little better; maybe he wouldn't have to murder him after all.
