MATED TO THE VAMPIRE KING SON Chapter 55

DAMIENS POV

The knock from the door angered me;  it didn't matter if it wasn't so loud. We vampires have incredible hearing, and any noise was loud enough to cause a nuisance.

"What?!" I said, trying not to sound too loud, so I wouldn't wake Freda up from sleep p.. It was morning already, but we had gone to bed a little late.

"Your highness, the werewolf has requested to speak to you" the voice of the servant behind the door boomed loudly through the door and I frowned, somehow during the night Freda had found her way to press her luscious body against mine and I was enjoying the feeling of her body pushed up against mine until the dimwit of a servant had to disrupt it.

"W-what is wrong," she asked moving her body away from mine and I frowned, I wanted her to remain pressed against my body but it looked like that wasn't going to be happening so I got up from the bed and found my way to my dresser to put on a dress shirt, I have no idea why the Alpha is requesting a meeting but I am pretty sure it was about his daughter.

"Go back to sleep Freda," I said, buttoning my dress shirt.

"No, he said something about my father," she said, staring at me with a confused expression on her face, and somehow, it made her look ravishing rather than confused.

"Yes, your father has requested my presence, think he wants to either have a word with me or have my head, either way, I would be paying him a visit" 

I was done with my shirt and was about to leave when she jumped out of bed and came to stand in front of me.

"What is this about?" I asked.

"Let me come with, I would like to see my father as well," she said with a hint of sadness in her tone, couldn't tell if she missed him or she was trying to get me to permit her to go with me, either ways she didn't have to ask me twice because I would give her anything and everything she could ever ask for.

"Let me get a maid to help you get dressed," I said, and she shook her head as she quickly grabbed the clothes from the night before and wore them.

"You need a change of clothes Freda," I said with a frown but she ignored me as she tied her hair up in a bun which revealed her beautiful morning face, her eyes were on the red side probably from sleep but she looked beautiful nevertheless and a little member of my body agreed with me, well not so little, trust me there was nothing little about my body.

"I am ready, shall we?" She said and I gave a nod before leading the way out of my chambers.

"Your Highness, my lady. " The servant that brought the news said with a bow, and I could see from the corner of my eyes the little smile that crept itss way up to Freda's lips and it made me happy; she was enjoying this.

"I don't know, but I uh-"

"You can ask me anything Freda, anything"

I said, helping her; since we began the walk to the dungeon, she had been fidgeting; I knew she had a lot to say, so I made it easy for her.

"I- is he okay? I mean, is he being well fed down there?" she asked, and I nodded; it was the truth; unlike my father, I made sure he was well looked after, not like I cared about him; to me, he was a prisoner like the rest of the prisoners.

"That's okay, thank you," she said, and I nodded.

We arrived at the gates of the dungeon, this one different from where my father was being held.

"Your Highness" the servants greeted and I didn't give any form of response but Freda offered smiles and I hated it, she shouldn't be smiling to anybody except me and I was going to tell her that once we got back to our chambers, there was no need to humiliate her in front of the servants by scolding her.

"Just how many prisoners are held here" she asks out of curiosity, the dungeon was pretty big and It currently held over twenty prisoners including her father but I didn't tell her that Instead I lied through my teeth.

"Just five, your father included," I said, and she nodded, looking around in awe. It was somewhat like my kind of reaction when I first got to see the dungeon myself, and that was after my first out-of-the-wall capture.

"Is this place not too big to be holding just five people, I mean what if one of them sought after freedom, I am not saying your guards are not capable of doing their duties I'm just, what I am-"

"A queen does not stutter, you should be free when speaking to me Freda, I don't bite, well I do bite technically but you should understand what I mean," I said then I turned to look at her, making sure she could see the softness in my eyes, one that I held only for her when I saw a smile on her face I breathed a sigh of relief that I still had that part somewhere and I could show it to her.

"We are here," the guard that has been guiding us said. As soon as we got to the cage, we locked the beast.  He saw me, and for a brief second, he bared his teeth but retracted them when he saw his daughter. The look of anger vanished replaced with sadness. He looked at her like she was the most valuable thing in his life,I turned to look at Freda and she had tears in her eyes,I should give them some space I said to myself but I didn't, I wanted to be done with the reason he called me down here so we could leave at once before he tries to talk this union out of Freda in such sad state.

"I am here per your request, although no one orders the presence of a king so speak and make haste with it" I said without a flicker of patience in my voice.

"You sly disgusting creature,what have you done with my daughter" the wolf said and I frowned, his daughter? 

"Father what is this you speak of?" Freda beat me to it and I felt sat

"Your skin is pale and your eyes are heavy underneath, come child tell me what this animal did to-"

"Animal? We can both tell who the-"

"That is enough!" Freda said looking at me with fire in her eyes, as it made me wonder if she'd look at me with that same fire when I ravish her body and claim her soul, I wanted to take her lips right there in front of her father but I had a feeling she was going to push me away so I remained still, if the wolf wasn't going to tell me why he sought my presence then maybe I should tell him a new gist of mine.

"The coronation ceremony is to hold in the fall a-"

"But that's too soon, I mean I-i still don't know anything about the vampire kingdom and-"

"Over my dead body will that ceremony hold, there is no way we are joining families a-"

"I assure you we can hold the ceremony like that if that's what you prefer" I said sounding pissed, the wolf was beginning to get a rise out of me and I didn't like it, if it wasn't because of Freda I would have taken his head off. 

"You have to push it foward Damien" Freda said and a jolt went down my spine, it was the first time she had said my name outloud and it took my mind to places I didn't wish it went cause now I wanted her to keep saying my name.

"I have a lot to learn, and I still have lessons with Elara that I'm yet to start, I don't even know my way around the castle and y-you , look you have to move it foward or I am going to be an embarrassment to you and have your people question your choice for a mate. If I am going to come out as your queen I need to know everything about you so as not go appear like a fool, I am yet to master the names of the lord's a-and.."

"Breathe Freda, breathe, I will speak to the guard to send out the message that the coronation has been shifted to a later date, anything for you Freda, just ask, as much as I want you to be mine I always want you to want this, to want us, so I am willing to give you that much time but no more shifting, whether you're ready or not then I shall have you crowned as my queen."
