Bedding My Vampire Mate

"You are right, she is the one," Doris affirmed.

"If she was this close then why is it that we couldn't perceive her scent?" Sophie furrowed her eyebrows as she asked.

"I have realised recently that it's kinda hard to trace her through her scent. What the hell is she using to cover her scent," Doris inquired. Since her two friends were as clueless as her, none of them said anything.

"She is sure clinging to him, is it because he has a little money…,"

"How could you call his money little hmm?" Nora abruptly interrupted to the shock of her friends. They were so surprised to see Nora defend their enemies.

"It's only little to those who have been swimming in money since birth but not to someone like her whom I am sure has never seen such a huge amount of money before," Nora mocked. Her reply left her friends relieved and happy.

"You are damn right about that. For someone like her who has been living on leftovers all her life, I bet even a little change will seem like a fortune to her," Sophie chimed in grinning.

They continued staring at the couple, one of whom was standing outside the black car while the other stood outside.

"We didn't come here for her but for Ray. Let's go search for him before we miss him," Sophie suggested. She diverted her attention away to the right-hand side of the mall.

After she started walking away, her friends followed her.

Outside the mall, Joanna gazed at Amos' face refusing to look away.

"I will leave with this car but I promise that a car will be waiting in this exact spot when you are ready to leave," He assured her.

"I know you are capable of pulling that off easily so I am not worried about the car," She replied, her gaze still concentrated on his handsome face.

She stared at him to the point that Amos got confused. He subconsciously touched his face and looked through the rear mirror expecting to see something on his face but surprisingly his face was clean.

"Also, for leaving early I will make it up to you this time around in a way you will love very much…,"

"I want you back safe and sound, that is what I need. We will talk about making it up to me after you have given that to me," She said and moved a few steps away from the car.

At that moment Amos didn't know whether or not to smile. All he did was look at her neutral expression.

[Whether or not you love me as I and Finley assume, I will make sure to confirm that sooner than you think so just wait for me]

He smiled and ignited the car.

"Make sure not to get bullied today because I will kill anyone who dares to bully you. It's a promise and you know I don't go back on my words," He said and smiled broadly at her.

He zoomed away without waiting for her reply.

"And I will be very upset with you if you get hurt," She muttered, still glancing in the direction his car disappeared. "That is what I wanted to say but he didn't let me".

She swerved and walked back into the mall later.

When she returned upstairs she met her companions engrossed in their games.

As Joanna was busy having fun, she didn't know that somewhere in the palace a scheme about her mate was about to be set in motion.

Inside the Queen Mother's inner chambers, she was seen talking with only Tracy by her side.

"If your guess that the King might have returned to the Kingdom without informing anyone is true then that means I have to speed things up on my side before he resumes duty in the Kingdom," Queen Mother said, as she squeezed her interlocked hands tightly.

"You are right, Your Highness," Tracy supported.

Queen Mother Theresa stood up from her golden seat and strolled away from the mini centre table.

"To regain my lost power, I need the Prime Minister and the other Minister's support. I have only a short time to do this. And I would have long achieved this if that cunning old man wasn't avoiding me," Queen Mother Theresa hissed and abruptly stopped in her tracks.

Although the Queen Mother's body was present there, her mind had travelled miles.

Nothing troubles her more than being a Queen Mother without powers and people.

In the past, she had her son wrapped around her fingers. He does whatever she wants and dares not go against her.

He might not have done this out of love or respect for her but he did this because of the people she had behind her, this she knew very well.

She couldn't imagine going through the hell she went through during the past months all over again.

Tracy sauntered to where the Queen Mother stood staring into space.

"Give me your orders and I will do all it takes to execute it perfectly," Tracy gave her words with her head lowered.

"It's a renowned fact that Mr Martinez loves his grandson very much and can do anything for him right?" Queen Mother questioned as she gazed at the lady standing in front of her with her head bowed.

"Yes, it is true," Tracy began.

"When his Majesty threatened him along with other ministers on the night his mate disappeared. I heard Mr Martinez didn't hesitate to give away his family's trained soldiers and other treasures in exchange for his grandson's freedom. This proves his love for his grandson is not a lie," Tracy went ahead to reveal the crucial information she knew about the ongoing topic.

"If that is the case then I want him in the palace along with Tiffany in less than an hour," She ordered sternly.

"According to our source working in the Prime Minister's mansion, Miss Tiffany is on house arrest…,"

"Then that is even better. Her desperation to beg me to plead with her grandfather on her behalf will make your job to get her and her cousin here easier," Queen Mother grinned wickedly knowing very well that her plans were sailing perfectly.

"Should I invite them as honourable guests or…,"

"It doesn't matter the method you use. I want them in the palace under any circumstances," She commanded fiercely. She strolled back to her seat.
