The Vampire Kings Slave Mate

Chapter 12: Nikolai

I was seething in anger, I wanted to go on a bloody rampage. I wanted to rip them all limb to limb, I

wanted to make them all suffer as they had made Mary. In my opinion everyone was at fault, the women

who stood by and watched as Mary was getting dragged into the laundry room were just as guilty as the

one’s who’d done the tormenting.

‘Nikolai.’ I felt kade reaching out to me, concern in his voice. “What is going on? I can feel your rage from

across the palace.”

“The blood slaves,’ I ground out, “They attacked Mary.’

‘And Mary is?’ Kade asked confused.

‘My blood slave, the woman with the intoxicating scent!’

‘Ah.’ Kade responded. ‘I was wondering why the women were acting off when I dropped off my slave.’

‘They were acting strange and you didn’t think to investigate it.’ I growled through the link, my anger

rising, thinking this entire situation could have been prevented.

“I figured they’d lost one of their own again.’ Kade said cautiously, “You’ve been rather hungry lately, it

doesn’t seem like anything can satisfy you.’

I cut the mind link off with Kade, I was standing outside the Female Blood Slaves chambers. I tried to

take a calming breath before entering but my beast wouldn’t let me. He wanted revenge, he wanted to

kill anyone who’d chose to harm what was his. I opened up the door, letting it slam against the wall, as I

walked in, my aura engulfing the entire room, causing the women to cower in fear. I looked at the

carnage I had caused earlier, in my attempts to find Mary. Katrina’s lifeless body, still laid on the floor,

there’d been no attempt to clean up the area or move her. Further down the hall, in front of the laundry

room laid the other slave, the one who’d led me Mary. I didn’t realize I’d pushed her so hard, in my worry

for Mary,(This will be daily updtaed at www.jar.com) I’d lost control of my own strength. I didn’t

mind that she was dead though, I already knew she had been involved in Mary’s torture. I could smell

Mary’s scent all over her. The only thing I regretted was that they’d died an easy death.

I heard the door open behind me, and I turned, noticing Elizabeth walk in she had a panicked look on her

face. I snarled at her my eyes flashing red. Her eyes flickered for a second, my beast grew excited, think

she’d challenge us, but she backed down quickly. What a shame, I would have loved to take out some of

my anger on her.

I turned to face the blood slaves again, Elizabeth walking with her head downcast towards them. I took a

calming breath, before acknowledging the situation before us.

“What happened tonight could have been prevented.” I started, my commanding aura still surrounding

the room, seeming to feed of the females fear. “Two lives so far have been lost, due to the blatant

disregard for a happened to a fellow slave. Due to not listening to your King,” I starred straight at

Elizabeth. “Everyone will be individually punished in the way I see fit.” I watched as the females

eyes widened in fear, “ I want everyone who was responsible for the attack on my blood slave to step

forward. If you step forward on your own, I will kill your with mercy, if I have to find you myself, I will be

merciless, and no this, I will find you.” I growled out showing my fangs, my eyes flashing over to my

beast.

No one moved, no one said anything. I could feel my anger rising again, apparently they needed an

example of my wrath. I reached out with blinding speed, grabbing Elizabeth by the neck, squeezing her

throat, until her face turned a shade of purple, I watched as everyone’s face paled. I released Elizabeth,

(This will be daily updtaed at www.jar.com)allowing her to take a gulp of air, allowing her to

think, I was going to let her live, and then I shoved my hand through her chest, pulling out her heart,

crushing it in my bare hands, Elizabeth’s body crumbling to the floor.

“That was the death of someone who disobeyed,” I spoke, all eyes on me. “Think of how horrific that

was, that will be nothing compared to what will come to those who are hiding from me, show your face

now, or suffer the consequences.” My eyes starring straight at the tall, skinny blood slave, the one with a

golden chain around her neck, that reminded me of Mary’s locket.

I waited a full minute, waiting for someone to come forward, when no one did, I spoke again.

“You had your chance to come forward and you didn’t. This is the punishment you shall receive.

Everyday your blood will be drained to the brink of death, not by a vampire, but by slashes to the wrist.

Your wounds will be bandaged, and then you’ll be strung up in the dungeons, this will continue every day

until your death.” My eyes still starring directly at the blood slave with the golden chain. She began to

shake in fear, and I knew my assumption had been right, She had played a roll in Mary’s torture, but I

had to be one hundred percent sure. I could not convict an innocent.

“Everyone who was present during my blood slaves, torture, will receive ten lashings, unless you’re able

to provide me with useful information.” I knew this would turn the women against each other, but I didn’t

care. It was already cutthroat down here, that had been proven earlier tonight.

I pointed to Kade’s blood slave, beckoning her to me. Her eyes filled with tears, she was terrified of me

and why wouldn’t she be, she had seen me kill three people tonight. She slowly walked over to me, her

entire body shaking with fear.

“You are the second in command’s blood slave, are you not?” I asked looking at her quizzically.

“Yes, your highness.” She said bowing down to me, trying to appear strong and not afraid.

“You’ll be moved to the upstairs quarters. I cannot risk you being targeted, due to being the blood slave

to someone in command.”

“Ye..yes, your highness,” she said shock evident on her face.

“For the time being, you’ll also be in charge of my blood slave (This will be daily updtaed at

www.jar.com)Mary, it is imperative that she learns how to be a true blood slave.”

“Yes, sir.” She bowed again.

“You’re dismissed, you may go wait in the dining hall, until I send someone to get you.”

She nodded to me, hurrying out of the room.

“You,” I said turning and advancing towards the tall skinny blood slave. Her eyes darted side to side, as if

looking for an escape. “Don’t think about running, you’ll only excite the beast more.”

She was within my grasp when she bolted to the right, I began the chase, I was the hunter she was the

prey, her heart was beating loudly, I could hear her blood pumping through her veins. I advanced on her,

tackling her to the floor within a matter of seconds, I heard her legs crunch beneath my weight. I had

taken her down hard, I had to reign in my beast, I didn’t want her to die too soon.

I stood up, grabbing her arm, and pulling her up with me. She cried out in pain, at weight being placed on

her leg, I didn’t care. “Next time you think you can torture someone and get away with it, don’t take a

trinket.” I roared, tearing her shirt open, exposing Mary’s locket.
