Bedding My Vampire Mate

There was quietness afterwards.

"I will disconnect the call now. Make sure to continue overseeing everything in the palace while I am away," Amos said. He removed the phone from his ear and was about to click on the disconnection button when Gideon's voice came on.

"Wait a minute your Majesty," He called out anxiously.

"What's it? Do you have any reports to make or did you encounter problems while overseeing the affairs of the palace?" Amos interrogated calmly.

Joanna sitting on the couch pretended as though she was playing with her cell phone when the truth was that she was intently listening to their conversation.

"Apart from the reports our men made, I saw the news. I just want to ask whether His Majesty and Miss Joanna are fine," Gideon sounded very concerned as he talked.

Meanwhile, as he was on the call he didn't notice that not very far away from where he stood a lady was hiding behind a pillar eavesdropping on his conversation.

"Do you think someone like him has the power to harm me?" Amos quizzed. He turned to look at the lady who immediately pretended as though her attention was immersed in the cell phone in her hand.

"Don't you think you are overestimating his capabilities?" He added. He instantly disconnected the call before Gideon had the chance to speak further.

Gideon stared at the cell phone in his hand with mixed reactions.

"I wanted to ask him how he is coping outside the palace, unfortunately, he didn't allow me to do that," He mumbled and shut the car's door immediately.

"Since this is a task the King is very interested. I need to oversee the execution to make sure nothing goes wrong," He muttered. He examined his environment one more time before he made to leave.

The moment he left, the lady came out from her hiding place.

"His Majesty?" The lady wearing a high-ranking maid's outfit mumbled as she stared in the direction Gideon went.

"Isn't the King in the Human's World but why did their conversation sound as though he is still in the Kingdom…," Tracy tried to guess.

No matter how hard she tried she couldn't arrive at any reasonable conclusion.

"I am sure as long as I follow him I will find out what they are hiding," Tracy concluded. She looked around and when she didn't see anyone she jumped over the corridor's barrier and landed outside.

[While following him, if I end up discovering something that can be used against the King, that means Her Highness will regain her foothold in the palace and this will guarantee my future]

Tracy grinned evilly as she kept on following Gideon's trail.

She was about to take a turn by the right when someone bumped into her. She almost fell off her feet had she not managed to balance herself on the floor.

"Are you ok?" A lady's concerned voice filled the once-quiet atmosphere.

"Sorry, it wasn't intentional," She apologised while stretching her hand to hold Tracy's hand but the mean lady beats her hand away.

"Get your filthy hands off me," She shouted angrily. She raised her gaze after she finished talking.

"Ooh… Josephina, it's you," Tracy faked a surprised expression despite that she had already known who it was from the person's scent.

"I was in a hurry to report the incident happening in the King's quarter to Her Highness. I wasn't looking my way. I am sorry once again if I hurt you," Josephina apologised in a calm tone.

"What is happening in the King's quarters?" Tracy asked. She looked at Josephina with raised eyebrows.

Josephina didn't respond immediately but stole a glance at the direction Gideon went.

[Let's see how yours and the Queen Mother's plans will work with me around…]

"Why are you quiet, say it," the impatient Tracy ordered sternly.

"Two maids are fighting over what I don't know. I have tried to put an end to their fight and so have the guards but they wouldn't stop fighting," Josephina relayed. She almost chuckled when she saw Tracy's forehead crease to form a deep frown.

"Since His Majesty isn't around and Queen Mother is the second in command. I wanted to report to her so she would put an end to this. I am afraid they will tear down the King's quarters if they keep this up…,"

"Did you just say you want to disturb the Queen Mother over some fight between maids?" Tracy asked in disbelief.

"Yes, is there anything wrong with that?" Josephina immediately feigns ignorance.

"If the Queen Mother has to oversee such trivials then why are you even in the palace?" The sharp tongue lady snapped, her murderous glares focused on Josephina.

"If you are sick of working here then I can help relieve you of your duties right now…,"

"You don't have to. I will make sure I handle things from here onwards," Josephina cut in.

"Jeez… I can't believe you just waste my precious time because of this nonsense," Tracy spat out the words. She glowered at her but Josephina refused to say anything.

Josephina watched as the angry lady stomped away.

[Just look at her attitude towards me. Does she think I would have tolerated her nonsense if Gideon didn't ask me to stall for some time?]

Josephina clenched her fist when she recalled the rude manner the young lady spoke to her.

Tracy tried to follow Gideon's trail but for some reason, she could no longer trail him using his scent.

"Where the hell did he go?" Tracy lamented as she looked around for traces of him.

[How come I can't perceive his scent anymore? Did he vanish into space but how is that possible?]

Tracy repeatedly keeps looking around. She ran her ten fingers through her well-styled hair.

As she stood there she kept trying to guess which direction Gideon might have taken.

"He talked as if he was going out of the palace so let me go to the palace entrance. I am sure I might be able to pick up his trails there," Tracy smiled as she made her way towards the palace gate.

HAPPY NEW MONTH!!! HAPPY NOVEMBER

First of all, I want to thank all of you for all you did last month. A big shout-out to all the readers who tried their best to make sure that we accomplished last month's goals although we ended up not being able to attain the goals.

I know reaching the goals never worked out and this is what I don't know the cause but I am still thankful to each one of you for at least attempting.

As you all know new month like this always calls for new goals so these are our goals for this month.

GOAL 1: Reach a certain number of privileged buyers = 6 chapters mass release. So instead of the usual 1k privileged chapters unlock I have twisted the goal a bit. As long as we reach a certain number of privileged buyers this November 2022, I will give 6 chapters mass release the following month.

GOAL 2: 100 GOLDEN TICKETS = 2 Chapters Mass release. For every 100 GOLDEN TICKETS we get this month I will give 2 chapters mass release i.e if we get 200 GOLDEN TICKETS this month I will give 4 chapters mass release. And these 4 chapters are only for the GOLDEN TICKETS goal.

So what are you waiting for instead of casting all your GOLDEN TICKETS to this book?

Let's Try Our Best To Accomplish This Month's Goals. I Am Challenging Myself By Deliberately Giving Giving So Many Chapters For Each Goal So Also Challenge Your And Let's See Which Of Us Will Win.

Is It You Guys Or me?
