The Vampire Prince's Mate Book 1

Chapter 28

Late that evening I was sitting in the living room staring at the fire place. Will Justin try to come back and get revenge on us? Or will he come back to get revenge on me for ruining his plan?

"Isabel I need to speak you", a male said.

I turned around and saw Cole standing behind the couch. He changed out of the clothes he was wearing a button up shirt, blue jeans and dress shoes. I got off the couch and walked towards him.

"We have to leave", he said.

"What do you mean leave?", I asked.

"We're leaving the castle and moving into a new one once my coronation is over", he replied.

"When's your coronation?", I asked.

"In a three weeks", he replied.

"So it's just going to be me and you right?", I asked.

"Once I marry you yes", he replied.

"So that's what you wanted to talk about?", I asked.

"I also want you to get fitted for your dress. I have someone for you to meet", he replied.

"Who?", I asked.

"Just follow me", he replied.

He took my hand and led me through the hall. We stopped at a large set of double doors. He opened both the doors and there was a tall female wearing a short green dress, green heels and with a pin cushion around her wrist. She was holding a box with needles and thread in one hand and lots of sparkly purple fabric in the other hand. Her hair was in a tight bun and she was wearing seamstress glasses.

"Isabel, I would like you to meet Madame Veronica. Madame Veronica I would like you to meet Isabel", Cole said.

"You gave me my very own seamstress?", I asked.

"Well she's here to design and sew your dress for the ball in three days", he replied.

"It's in three days?", I asked.

"Mhm. So I'm going to leave you two to it", he replied.

He walked out the room and closes the door behind him. Veronica motioned me to stand on the stool that was standing in front of her. I stepped on it and she took my measurements and this took an hour and a half. She finally finished and I stepped off the stool.

"Okay. You're all done", she said.

I walked out the room and stood in the hallway. I saw Cole standing against the wall smiling.

"Why are you so happy?", I asked.

"Cause I can have you alone", he asked.

"What do you mean?", I asked walking towards him.

I put my head on his chest and he took a deep breath.

"Follow me", he replied.

He took me by the hand and led me to a large set up double doors. There were two guards standing there and they both opened the doors. I was amazed at what was inside the room. A crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, tables with gold tablecloths were draped over the tables, a beautiful set of steps that led to four thrones and a small area set aside for an orchestra to play in.

"Is this the ballroom?", I asked.

"It's beautiful isn't it?", he asked.

"It's gorgeous", I replied.

"I also have a surprise for you when the time comes", he said.

"What is it?", I asked.

"It won't be much of a surprise if I tell you", he replied.

I looked at him and gave him the "tell me or else loom".

"Isabel you just have to wait", he said.

"Fine. But I will figure it out", I said walking away.

I walked out the ballroom and just walked around the castle. I had no idea if I was getting close to the room or not but I had a feeling that I was close. I walked into something or someone. I looked at who it was and it was Carly.

"I'm so sorry here let me help you", I said.

She looked at me and gasped but she quickly covered it. She kept staring at me but then picked up the papers she had dropped.

"Here let me help you", I said.

"No no it's okay. Excuse me for asking but what happened to you?", she asked.

"What do you mean?", I asked.

"You seem different", she replied.

"Well I don't see how I am any different than I was before. All Cole did was turn me", I said.

"He turned you?", she asked.

"Yeah. Haven't you heard?", I asked.

"All I heard it that the princess left the castle", she replied.

"Who told you that?", I asked.

"Let's just say that stuff gets around here fast", she replied.

She finished picking up the papers and ran off. That was odd. She just got up and left just like that. I walked down the hall and heard someone talking. I looked in a room and saw Cole and his parents talking.

"Mother you have to agree that Isabel's my mate. I felt it", Cole said.

"Son I agree but your father doesn't. It's not like I can make him do the things I want", his mother said.

"Son. If you can prove to me she's your mate at the ball then we'll believe you. Otherwise it's just not ment to be", his father.

"If I can prove it?", Cole asked.

"Then I'll believe you", his father replied. "Until then, I have the perfect girl for you".

I ran to the room and closed the door then laid on the bed. The door opened and Cole came in and he didn't look to happy.

"What's wrong?", I asked.

"It's nothing you need to worry about", he replied.

He came and sat on the bed next to me. He looked into my eyes which made me melt inside.

"Isabel I want you to know that no matter what happens and what my father says, I want you to know that it will always be you that I choose. You're the only one that's made for me", he said.

"What are you talking about? Is your father not happy about us again?", I asked.

"Not exactly. He doesn't think that you're my mate', he replied.

"Why would he think that? I would die for you. You would do the same thing for me", I said.

"I know but he just doesn't believe it. I will prove to him that he was wrong", he said.

He gave me a kiss on my forehead and got off the bed. He went to the closet and came out with his pajamas on and a gown for me to wear for the night. He gave it to me and I went into the bathroom. I came out a minute later leaving my other clothes in the bathroom. I slipped under the covers and closed my eyes letting the darkness take over me.
