Not Your Mate Anymore
Chapter 49-1 Gone Too Far (1)

Cayden's POV

To just simply call her beautiful would not be enough. Looking into her eyes was not enough, I want her near me, in my arms. She has taken up space in my head, consuming my thoughts.

For so many years I had given up on love or even the sick idea of it but here I am, welcoming it back into my life. This sneaky little fire cracker, came into my life for her own selfish reasons and I should be consumed with anger that someone would try con their way into my kingdom but I couldn't be more intrigued.

That same curiosity led me to a whole new world, meeting the very woman that led to my mother's curse, to my curse and only to have her daughter steal my cold heart. Risking my rule, my kingdom just to have her in my life, to have her with me as my queen.

I didn't want to manipulate her into coming here but I had no other choice. I will not force her into bed with me, I'm not that desperate. Maybe I am desperate but I'm not the monster everyone thinks I am. I will not violate her like that, I just need her to feel what I feel or at the very least, give me the chance to show her how I feel inside amd hopefully the vampire side of her will fall for me.

For what I have done, she will forgive me eventually. I just need her vampire to recognize me as her king and to recognize herself as much queen.

I open the door for Josey, letting her walk into my private room first. I close the door behind me as she looks around.

There was not much to the room except for a king size bed and two couches with a coffee table. The room had a small bar fridge which had blood bags in them, I take two out and throw one to Josey.

The whole room was brightened up by the white sheets and white leather couches, by the lamps around the room and now, Josey. Who was standing in the middle of the room and even in this small room, she looked beautiful.

"We should be out there, trying to find a new castle for you and your people.." Josey says and I lift my eyebrow at her.

"The castle is ruined so where to from here? We can't stay here forever you know. Also, don't tell your people about your time up there." Josey says to me.

"Won't even mention it. Rest up, we leave by nightfall to our new home. They were just waiting for me." I say as Josey plops herself on my bed.

"Where is Thomas?" Josey asks and I shrug.

"Somewhere out there.” I say as I sit on the couch, opening up my blood bag before I drink it all up in one go.

Josey was still looking at the blood bag when I got my second bag out. They didn't give me any blood in that prison and I was slowly losing my mind.

I fed a little on Josey's mates but she didn't need to know that.

"Are you going to drink? At least we didn't have to kill anyone for the blood." I say and Josey shakes her head no.

"No. You didn't kill a weak defenseless human for it and I'm glad. I just think it's cold so I'll wait until it warms up.” Josey tells me but I knew she wouldn't touch it.

She still had her human side, no thanks to her wolf. That damn wolf kept her in check, being her subconscious and reprimanding her when necessary. I wish I had that to be honest but after my first taste of blood from a warm body, I was a goner.

My sister could not feed on a human too, she preferred the bags. The blood was donated and nobody had to die in the process but we take donated blood, taking from the ones that will need it at some stage so in the end, we do kill them... but what do I know?

"I came here to give you the chance to show that you love me. You don't have much time unless your plan was to just drink blood with me and bond with my vampire?” Josey asks and I smile. "You're right. The plan is to win you over but I say you take the time to rest. I promise once we get up there, there will be no stopping me.” I say as I make myself comfortable on the couch.

Waiting for the time to come where Josey accepts her place by my side.

Soon my love. Soon.
