MATED TO THE VAMPIRE KING SON Chapter 79

Freda's pov

I said loudly making him turn to face me, his eyes had changed and the fierceness I had seen in them when he slammed Lilly to the wall was back, he looked nothing like the Damien I knew, his eyes glowed red and he bared his teeth

"Drop him, please; he's not worthy of your time; just let him go," I said, almost crying. My father watched the interaction and I didn't understand why he didn't try to separate them or even utter words.

"You are one lucky son of a gun," Damien said, throwing him across the corner of the room. I closed my eyes due to the loud sound of bone-crushing.

"This meeting is dismissed, you shall all retire to the rooms prepared for you; dinner will be announced later," Damien said before stretching his hands for me. I noticed the stares of people as I took his hand.

"I want to say hello to some people I know," I said, and he frowned. The hall was clearing out little by little, but out of the corner of my eyes, I caught my father's Luna, Lilly's mother, staring at me, guess I'd start my greetings from there.

Damien did not like the idea, but he was not going to stop me. He squeezed my palm and gave a single nod. I don't know what I was doing seeking his permission, but I just couldn't leave his hands that were reaching out for me.

"Be quick" he said before turning to walk away towards the entrance of the room.

"Well well well, look who thinks she became a hero because she prevented a man from getting killed"

My stepmother said, walking towards me in her heels. She was the one person who didn't need to try hard to look pretty; if only she was as pretty on the inside as she was on the surface.

"Hello to you too," I responded blandly, and she didn't like the tune of my voice at all because she glared at me while moving closer. Our feet were almost touching.

"Just because the vampire king wants you does not mean you get to disrespect me," she said and I rolled my eyes. I was not even in the least disrespectful, she was looking for trouble that I know, but I was ready to do anything in my power to avoid it, I didn't want Damien threatening another member of my pack.

"He almost killed her and you watched?! Your blood, you turned your back against your sister, almost getting killed," she spat out, and I smiled.

"Sister? So you agree Lilly is the sister to a half-breed like me? What happened to me not being a member of your family?" I asked in a challenging manner and she raised her finger to poke my chest.

"I shall not have you speak to me in such a manner, you are nothing but a selfish half-breed, and you and that little piece of blood-sucking pest do deserve each other. I just hope you have in mind that there is no proof that he won't do what he's doing to others, what makes you so sure you are safe?

"My safety is not yours to worry about, Lady Amelia." I gathered my courage. "You are here for my coronation and I will not…" I poked my fingers in her chest too. "…allow you to disrespect the queen"

She seemed taken aback. "And for your daughter, Lilly. Until she gets a man who loves her like my Damien does, she has no right bothering about a hybrid making a Queen."

"If he was not there to protect you, Lilly would have rubbed your face off the ground"

"And that's why I have him, not any of you."

"You have no one, even your father was disappointed to hear you mate with an enemy" Her eyes rolled. "If he could reverse time, you would never be born"

"If I could reverse time too, you would never have been in my father's life" I blurted.

Lady Amelia scoffed. "Bitch. Just like your mother!" It took everything in me to stop my hand from plastering across her face.

"Don't you bring my mother into this?" I warned her. "I would not hesitate to turn into that best you see me as" my eyes reddened.

She pulled away for a moment and then scoffed. "Okay, Freda. We are here for your coronation. Let's keep it that way."

She turned to leave. My hands began to shake, the words from family members hit harder than a rock. If someone else spoke to me, just maybe, I would have taken it.

The hole of not having a mother to defend me just like Amelia defended Lilly scarred my heart. All these emotions in just a few days were too much to handle.

I walked back into my room to curdle up overwhelmed with all the feelings. I needed to rest. I pulled off the gown I wore first which was hard enough, it took me minutes to pull off. And then I crashed on the bed.

Freda, you have the solution to this. Coronation is soon, the only thing you should be thinking about is your escape - I thought.

When I got to see my mother, the love I had long list would come back all over again. I would get to go to the university like I have always wanted.

Life would be simple, no fangs or claws battle. Just humans who have no supernatural ability but live to take care of themselves and their emotions.

And maybe, I might miss Damien, or Christie or Freda, but temporary happiness was nothing compared to permanent and that was the joy I wanted.

A new life was coming to me soon, there was no need for me to debate it in my thoughts again. I would go as far as I could and no one would be able to find me.

I will go as deep into the sunlight, to stop Damien from reaching me also. He was a vampire, th

ere was no way he would sacrifice that much torture to find me.
