Bedding My Vampire Mate

In front of Anthony's room, she held the doorknob and gently tiptoed into the room.

Inside the room, Joanna walked towards his bed without making a sound.

A chuckle escaped Joanna's mouth when she got to his bed and saw how her little brother lay.

"My big boy has finally learned to go to sleep alone but what is this?" She mumbled and shook her head as she stared at the boy lying on the bed with his legs wide apart and his neck a bit crooked.

Joanna bent and arranged Anthony's legs properly on the bed.

Afterwards, she pulled the duvet over his body. She tucked his hands underneath the blankets and sat down beside him.

"I am sorry I didn't open the door for you earlier. The truth is I wanted to but when I realised how much my foul mood will affect you, I changed my mind. I didn't want you to worry about me so forgive Big Sis ok," Audrey muttered and stroked his hair lovingly.

"Also, I promise I will make it up to you after I have talked things out with him," She mumbled and smiled, her gaze focused on his sleeping face.

Joanna took a last glance at Anthony's face before she stood up and left the room.

She was almost at the foot of the stairs when she saw Laura climb the stairs.

If it were in the past she dared not use the stairs when any member of the family used the stairs.

There was a time Adhara pushed her down the stairs when she was climbing the stairs at the same time as her.

That day she badly scraped her hands and body against the floor. Even her right leg got dislocated.

[I never knew that being powerful like this feels so sweet until I got a taste of it. I guess this is why powerful people yarns for more power]

Joanna adjusted her face cap as she descended the stairs. She had already walked past Laura when the quiet lady talked.

"You wanted freedom and now, you have finally gotten it but I will advise that you don't abuse it...," Laura paused, her expression stern.

"Father might not harm you because you are his child after all but trust me, the one you hang out with every night will not be safe".

Laura's words made Joanna pause in her tracks. She tilted her head and glared at Laura.

"You don't know to what extent he can go to keep the family's reputation intact and save our family from the wrath of the royal family...,"

"Of course I know to what extent that father of yours can go to protect his ego but did I ever tell you that I am scared of him?" Joanna snapped.

Joanna tilted her body so that she had a proper view of Laura's face.

"Also from what I know, you are the type to run and report to get me into trouble so why are you telling me this?" Joanna quizzed.

"What on Earth are you scheming by pretending to be a caring Big sister?" Joanna focused her suspicious glare on the lady standing before her.

"A caring sister?" Laura chuckled. "To whom?" She smiled and looked behind her as if she was searching for someone.

"If that is not the case then why did you...,"

"Because I don't want anything that will cause my birthday party to be cancelled at the last minute," Laura interrupted, her head held high.

"Apart from that, another reason I am telling you this is that I don't want the wrath of the King to fall on our household...," Laura trailed.

She flips her hair behind her ear before she continues.

"From time immemorial no one has ever incurred the wrath of the King and come out unscathed. I don't want doom to befall our family due to your illicit relationship with that fool...,"

"Does it look like I care if doom befalls all of you or not?" Joanna hissed.

"You...," Laura pointed her index finger at the lady who had a haughty look on.

Meanwhile, as they were arguing they didn't know that Mr Anderson was overhearing everything from his room.

"And hasn't your mother always wanted you to marry His Majesty instead?" Joanna questioned.

Shouldn't this be good news for you or don't tell me you have decided to go against her wishes and instead marry your boyfriend in...,"

"Stop spewing nonsense or...,"

"Or what?" Joanna grimaced.

"Will you push me down the stairs or beat me until I can't move like you often did in the past huh?" Joanna challenged, her fierce glares not moving from Laura's face.

Laura clasped her first and grit her teeth. She wanted to teach Joanna a lesson but when she recalls that Joanna wasn't the same one in the past she decided to swallow the insult.

"That was exactly how I did in the past whenever all of you bullied me. You are gonna grit your teeth and clasp your fists more often from now on so I will advise that you get used to it," Joanna retorted.

She spun and walked out with her shoulders held high.

[I have always told myself that this is your era and that it won't last for a long time... This might be sad news to you but I am happy to announce to you that your era ends tonight. You won't come back here alive after you leave but your corpse will]

Laura smiled towards the door. She swivelled and strolled to her room upstairs.

Some minutes later Joanna didn't even exit the street of her home when she sensed she was being tailed.

She paused in the middle of the road and bent as if she wanted to tie her shoelace.

[It's your bad luck that you were sent to kill me and I will make sure I give you all your due punishment. It will be quick but believe me it won't be a very palatable death]

An evil smirk crept onto her pretty face as she continued to play with her shoelace.
