My Vampire Love

Chapter 38

The other days passed in a blur till two days before the wedding. Chloe and I had been taking lessons on behavioral standard of pets for the wedding. A designer had taken our measurements the day before. I hadn't seen Cole since I left his room. I'd been hanging out with Chloe, Lucas, Andrew and Kyle when we didn't have lessons. We weren't allowed to relate with other pets that weren't Royal before the wedding so none of us had talked to Sonia. We had to be of our best behaviors because dignitaries from all over the 'Vampire Realm' or whatever where going to be present. Our meals where strictly based on diet. Also, we had been told to work out twice in the past few days.

I didn't know what to think about me and Cole. He was getting married to someone he didn't love and I wasn't even sure Larissa was going to let me continue being his pet after their marriage. My life just got more and more messed up.

"Brittany, Prince Cole called for you". A slave told me.

My head raced with different thoughts as I headed for his room. I was suddenly nervous. I hadn't seen him in days. My palms were getting sweaty. I softly knocked on the door and went in when I heard a voice call out from inside.

I grew more nervous when I realized that Cole wasn't the only person in the room. Rhea was there, Malcolm was there and Larissa too.

What the hell was happening?

"You sent for me". I said.

"Yes". Cole said. "Sit".

I sat down on the couch as instructed.

"You're probably wondering why I called you here". Cole said.

I nodded.

"We're all here to discuss how to stop me and Larissa from getting married". He said.

"Okay". I said.

"We've come up with some pretty good ideas." Malcolm said. "Larissa wants to get married to someone else but not Cole".

I looked at her. She slightly nodded.

"It's either we find a way to cancel the wedding or Larissa gets married to the man she truly loves." Rhea said.

"Who's the man?" I asked though I already knew the answer.

"She wouldn't tell us now," Rhea said.

It's a good thing I asked. Guess I had to act like I didn't know who it was.

"We have to weigh the options," Cole said. "Canceling the wedding could arouse suspicion so the wedding has to take place".

"How?" Everyone asked in unison.

"Yes. Larissa is going to be getting married to whoever she loves". Cole said.

Larissa tsked.

"You look nothing like Da- the person I love," She said.

"That's why we'll be hosting a Mask wedding". Cole said.

"What do you mean?" Rhea questioned.

"Everyone at the wedding is required to wear a mask. Including the bride and bridegroom,"

"Won't it look a bit suspicious?" I asked.

"No it won't. The wedding is a few days before the Masquerade dance festival finale". He said.

"What's a-" I wanted to ask but Cole beat me to it.

"It's a festival where everyone has to be present as a couple wearing the most beautiful matching handmade masks. Every year, not every vampire gets to meet their beloved because not all vampires are interested in finding their beloved. This festival makes it easier to hide the real purpose of the Mask wedding". He said.

"Nikky, I never knew you were such a genius". Rhea mused.

"Stop calling me that". Cole said.

"What? Nikky? What about Colie?" Rhea asked innocently.

I snorted, trying not to laugh.

Cole glared at her.

"Okay, let's assume we're having the masked wedding... What about his hair?" Larissa asked.

"We could easily dye it". I said.

"What's his hair color?" Malcolm asked.

"The lightest shade of blonde". Larissa replied.

"Is he going to agree to dying his hair?"

"I'll persuade him to. He could dye it back to his original hair color after the wedding," She said.

"What about his eye color?" Rhea asked.

"A really light brown color... Nothing a pair of golden contacts can't hide," She said.

"He needs to learn to do some stuff like Cole. Larissa, we really need to meet him or nothing will go as planned." Rhea said.

"Uh, I uh... You guys have to promise me that you won't do anything rash." Larissa said.

"You have my word". Malcolm said.

"I promise," Rhea said.

"Promise." I said.

"I have a question," Larissa said.

"Shoot," Rhea said.

"Why does Brittany have to join in this discussion?" She asked. "I don't mean to be rude or anything. I'm just kind of curious,"

"She's uh, my only pet and one of the people I trust most." Cole replied.

"Sure. Keep telling yourself that. I know something is going on between you two. I don't mean you've fallen in love or anything but I know that-"

I choked on my saliva when I heard what she said.

Rhea rubbed my back till I stopped coughing.

"I mean maybe a sexual relationship,"

I shifted uncomfortably. Why was she so blunt?

"Okay... You're dismissed". Cole said uncomfortably.

I left the room and walked all the way to my room on the second floor.

Two feelings were whirling in me.

Excitement and extreme embarrassment.
