Vampire Prince, Earn My Respect !!!

Chapter 10

Previously

As we got up to leave the room Marcus gabbed my hand and pulled me close, as we started walking towards his room he froze and quickly looked to his left, and there stood his parents, the king and queen of vampires with their eyes fixed on us.

Chapter 10

My breath caught in my throat and my palms went sweaty, the king and queen of vampires where notorious for being cold, cruel and having an unimaginable hatred of humans. My grip on Marcus hand tightened as his did the same to mine.

The room froze and tension hung heavily in the air, unbearably so. Marcus pushed me slightly backwards so I was behind him and stared defiantly at his parents. He knew as well as I did they could order my death instantly and no-one would bat an eyelid.

I looked down at the floor terrified and could feel their fiery red eyes staring at us from just a few meters away.

Eventually the king cleared his throat and his icy, calculating voice rang firmly and clearly though the room,

“What is the meaning of this Marcus, why do you have such an affectionate hold of a human girl and why do you stand before her in a protective stance?”

Marcus looked his father in the eye, his gaze confidant not cocky and his stance strong,

“She is my true mate father, my soul mate, do not dare try to break us apart or hurt her, or may the wraths of hell destroy you before I do it myself. You know the love of a soul mate is an unbreakable bond and if you do try and do so you will not only lose a son but you will lose your life!!” His voice started calm but had ended with a thundering growl that would make men fall to their knees.

The room was silent as I waited with bated breath for the kings reply, I was shaking and thought I was going to faint, Marcus had just out right threated the kings life, weather he was his son or not that was still high treason and punishable by death.

As I risked a look at the king he shocked me, a small smile played along his face and he let out a small chuckle,

“Son I know the love of a soul mate as I have found it in your mother, and I have no intension of breaking you apart or hurting your mate. I wish only to congratulate you and when you are both ready you shall wed and rule the vampire race together, but of course she’ll need to be changed first”

I gasped and searched his face for any sign that he was lying and found none, I looked up to Marcus and disbelieve washed over his face, though his stance was still fairly ridged.

I can’t believe the king has accepted us and not only that but congratulated us, it is unbelievable. Yes he said I would need to be changed and I wasn’t sure about that, I mean could I really become something I absolutely detested?? And did I even want to accept that me and Marcus where soul mates?? Was I even ready to take what was for me a huge step?? I didn’t know, but for now everything was okay and the relief was overwhelming.

I was jostled out of my thoughts as Marcus arms wrapped around me from behind and he gently kissed me on the head.

He looked over to his mother love evident in his eyes,

“Mother, Have anything to say??” he questioned.

The lady who looked about forty but was in fact several hundred years old, smiled gently her cold face changing into that of a proud mothers,

“Welcome to the family” she said softly.

Marcus grinned and took my hand motioning towards the front door,

“Let’s go for a drive, we’ve got a lot to talk about” he said. I nodded and followed him out of the door.

A few minutes later we where driving along a country lane and I looked over to Marcus,

“I’m not sure I’m ready for this” I admitted “I’m not sure I can go from being your slave, to being your soul mate, that’s a huge change and I don’t even know you that well”

Marcus drew in a deep breath,

“I know” he said looking me deep in the eye “I didn’t expect you to suddenly want to be with me, you wouldn’t be you if you did. But please know one thing, whether you are with me or not and where you’re my slave or my wife, you will always be my one and only soul mate nothing can ever change that” He finished firmly he gaze on me.

I was tempted to just tell him to keep his eyes on the road, but I knew with his vampire senses we where perfectly safe.

And he was right whether I liked it or not, we where soul mates, that pull would always be there. His touch would always light a fire in my body; his voice would always be the most soothing sound I could here.

 But in that, there where still problems. He has a huge level of control over me, and I didn’t mean as his slave I meant that his simple touch would have me doing anything he wanted. His voice would have me wanting to agree to what ever he said and that was crazy.

But as I turned to face him and saw him looking at me almost desperately I saw I had that control over him too. Maybe this could work, but I realised he’d have to know it too.

“okay I’ll try, I’m not saying I’ll marry you, or turn into a vampire or rule a race of beings in quite frankly despise, but I’m saying I’ll try, I’ll try to make it work between us as a couple and I hope you’ll try to” I said as I watched the relief flood over his face for a second time today.

He nodded,

“Of course I will try, we can make this work” he said confidently. I nodded and he turned the car around,

“Lets go home” he said grinning.

I felt overwhelmed by today and after a few minutes my eyelids dropped and I fell into a dreamless sleep.
