MATED TO THE VAMPIRE KING SON novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75

Damien’s POV

My fingers tapped the desk in the study room. Was I doing the right

thing? I was certain Freda would be happy with the news, but why

was I doing everything solely for her happiness?

The door unlocked, and the palace guards dragged Winston in. He

looked like a prisoner, dirty and with a foul odor. He dragged his feet

as he was made to sit in the chair opposite me.

I ordered them to remove the handcuffs that had stopped him from

shifting into his wolf all this time. He heaved a big sigh of relief but

still looked at me with hatred.

“Alpha Winston,” I called him. “Father of Freda, my queen–to–be

“Your forced queen. I fail to believe you are my daughter’s mate,

Damien.”

“I don’t seek your validation, Winston. Your daughter and I are mates.

I knew it the first day I met her.”

“Has she accepted you as her mate?” He frowned, raising his voice

angrily.

A smile cornered my lips as the events of yesterday and this morning

flashed through my memory. That was enough acceptance from

Freda. Her desire and need for me to be inside her was a sign of our

mate bond.

I knew if Winston found out, he’d be furious with both me and his

daughter, so I kept the news from him.

“I’m working toward Freda accepting me completely, and that’s why

you’re here.”

He rolled his eyes. “I will not take part in this.”

I leaned forward. “You don’t have a choice, Winston.” I played with

the book on the desk. “This isn’t my father you’re talking to. I’m nicer,

and I make the right decisions. If you would only listen.”

He went silent for a while. I thought he was considering shifting to

attack me.

“Now, this is why I called you here.” I started. “I think you should be

released, Winston. What do you think?“,

His eyes squinted. “You want to release me from your prison?”

“I believe that’s what I want to do. I think it would make Freda happy.”

I found myself smiling at the thought of surprising her with this. “I’ve

learned you haven’t been good to her for a while but changed when

you got here. I believe it’s a facade and you don’t mean this affection.

However, I don’t control what Freda believes, and I noticed she longs

to see you free.”

“The love I have for my daughter is true. It might seem complicated,

but only we understand us.”

He snapped.

“I don’t believe that. Which is why, Winston, I’d like to send you back

to your home. Stay with your family. Have your life with them.”

“You wish to release your prisoner?”

“For Freda. I think Freda would be very happy if I did this.”

His mouth opened like he wanted to speak, but he couldn’t utter a

word.

“And so I wanted to ask for your blessing also. Freda is mine now, and

I know I didn’t care what you thought about it at the beginning. But

now I do. I seek your blessing, Alpha Winston.”

“By choice or by force?” He asked.

I chuckled. “I don’t mind either. Winston, that’s not all. I want your

pack to prepare for the coming coronation with us. Bring a good

number of influential pack members and family with you to join us

for the coronation.”

“So this is why you’re sending me home.” A bitter laugh escaped his

lips.

“Remember not to play games with me, because I’m always one step

ahead of you. And your daughter is still with me. There might be

affection today, but hatred might surge tomorrow.”

I threatened him. Not that I could hurt Freda intentionally, but if

Winston tried anything foolish, Freda could suffer for it in other

ways.

“Freshen up. Remove your stench. I’ll bring Freda to see you, and

you’ll leave in a few hours.”

“I do not give my blessing yet.” He fumbled when I stood from the

chair.

“You’ll do that at the coronation, Alpha Winston. No rush.” I

snickered, walking out of the study room.

The coronation was approaching fast enough. In two weeks, this

would all be done. I walked into the chamber where Freda was already

dressed, her lily scent filling the room.

“You’re here.” A happy gasp escaped her lips as she dropped the book

she was reading and rushed over to me. Although she limped, a sense
