MATED TO THE VAMPIRE KING SON novel Chapter 81

MATED TO THE VAMPIRE KING SON

Chapter 81

Freda’s POV

I was overwhelmed. Too short of words at the guests who’d arrived. This was happening, truly happening. Damien wanted to make me queen and would do everything to make it work, including involving

my so–called family.

Considering how the last meetings between the vampires and werewolves had gone, the friction in the palace had been stiff. It was good seeing my father and Ember also the Alpha lady I’d met the

night of the vampire dinner.

She was the only one who’d genuinely accepted the idea of me being a

half–blood without judgment.

I wasn’t delighted to see Luna Amelia and her daughter Lily, but I was satisfied seeing them show up, even if it felt like they’d been

threatened.

Agatha and the other maids had started working to ensure everyone got a befitting room. Damien also hadn’t been seen, as he was always

with the nobles arranging one meeting or another.

Since he’d called me to come see my family, I hadn’t seen him around.

I paced the hallway restlessly. I wanted to speak to my father

privately and ask him about his preparation for my escape. Had he

decided what my mother said about it? Had he informed those who

would be involved in this plan? I hadn’t met anyone.

I had doubts. What if Father was playing me? He couldn’t be. I

assured myself. It just didn’t make sense if he was.

Most importantly, I was looking forward to meeting Kara, as she was the only one suitable to be called family among them.

“The queen in distress?” A mocking laugh escaped from a familiar

voice as I stopped to see Lily approaching me.

My stepsister. The second bully I’d ever experienced after her mother. The initiator of my bullying in school, the mastermind of making me

feel lesser than myself.

“Who do we have here? Lily Shane.” I walked toward her also, meeting

her in the middle where we both stopped.

“Your story has made the newspapers and magazines in town.” She snickered. “Freda, the former half–blood daughter of Alpha Winston, kidnapped by the vampires as a sacrifice, will be executed soon.”

I arched my brows, feeling disoriented. Was that a real headline?

What was wrong with these people?

“I remember your mother offering to use me as bait to the vampires.

Now look this got her a mate.” I snapped.

Ex

She laughed, clearly not affected by my words. “He’s only here to use

you for more power. Mate, my foot. A half–blood cannot have a mate,

and certainly not a vampire royal at that.”

“You’re jealous I get to be queen of the most powerful vampire

kingdom.”

“No, I’m sad you’re ending up hopeless. The Moon Goddess must not

like you. After so much suffering of being a half–blood, you still ended

up as vampire bait.”

“Then why are you here?”

“To watch you fall apart. I always had a knack for seeing you fail, and

this time is no exception.”

“Leave, Lily.” I ordered her, tears swelling in my eyes.

“Did you hear the school story also? That you killed Licita? Not only have you brought shame to Shane’s pack, but your name in the

werewolf kingdom is spreading as the vilest offender we have in

history. Because Licita was your bully, you ordered your so–called

mate to kill her.”

“Damien didn’t kill Licita.”

“But his father did. He killed Licita and her father, Lyrus. How do you

feel about getting married into a family like that? Is that your next

goal? Kill people you feel intimidated by until your ego is satisfied?”

“Stop, Lily.” My voice broke.

“I heard there was a human soft side to hybrids. Guess you’re also a

failure at being a hybrid.”

Tears rolled down my cheeks as her words pierced me in painful

places.

“Everyone hates you, Freda. You failed at being a good Alpha’s

daughter. You’ll certainly fail at being a queen also.”

“Lily…” I snapped, grabbing her clothes.

She flung my hands away hard and grabbed my neck, her claws

piercing into it. “Long live the evil queen and her deeds!” She spat in

my face.

Chapter 81

“What are you doing?” A roar echoed in the hall as Damien grabbed

Lily and flung her to the wall.

She shifted into her wolf immediately, protecting her body from the

throw. Causing damage to the wall, she groaned and turned back to

her human form.

“Are you okay?” Damien cupped my cheeks.

I shook my head as more tears streamed down my face. He rushed to

meet Lily, holding her by the throat as she had held me. “One more

word about my mate, and you’ll be fresh meat and blood for my

nobles‘ dinner!”

Lily tapped his hand for help as she choked. “Damien, please.” I
