Bedding My Vampire Mate-Chapter 66 Kayden’s Warning To The Queen Mother

"If you were really with someone else then let me check who it is to make sure that she is not a danger to you," Chris said as he tried to walk in the direction he heard the King talking to a lady.

Kayden grabbed his right hand before he could walk away. "Am I your slave that you keep a tab on?" Kayden asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, you know very well that is not what I meant. You are not only the King but someone very close to me. Your safety is my…,"

"If I was so close and dear to you as you want me to believe then why did you do that back then?" Kayden asked fiercely.

He stole a secret glance at the direction he left Joanna to make sure that she wasn't around. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑛𝘦𝑡

Since she chooses not to reveal herself then he will do everything to protect her secret from everyone. Chris was not an exception.

"If I am so dear to you then you should know just how important she was to me. You should have known that she was my life…," Kayden trailed as he stared into Chris' guilty-filled eyes.

"She wouldn't have died if you didn't disobey my orders. Because of you the woman I love was snatched away from me. You betrayed my trust in you first so what right do you have to be nosy now".

Kayden's harsh words pierced through Chris' heart like a sharp sword.

His ever cold facade fell.

"I know that Miss Joanna got harmed because of my decision and I feel bad about this but I don't regret the choice I made that day," Chris said sternly.

"It's good that you are aware of this. So don't you ever expect us to go back to how we were in the past because I doubt whether that will ever happen".

Kayden let go of his hand and stomped away in anger.

The hurt Chris stood at the same spot and thought about what the King had said.

The King and he was not merely servants and employers but they were friends and he treated him nicely.

He is the reason why the King is so hostile towards him so he could not blame him for being so mean.

He deserves this much treatment for the crime he committed and this is why he won't complain about the King being unfair to him.

Chris hurried to meet up with the King after he had sorted out his emotions.

Kayden was about to open his car when someone held his extended hand. He turned and glared at Chris.

"And what do you think you are doing?" Kayden asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has been trying to contact you but to no avail. We need to return to the palace now…,"

"Does it look like I take orders from the Queen Mother?" Kayden asked as he violently pushed Chris's hand away.

"All my thoughts were that you left the palace with those things to meet up with Miss Tiffany. I realised that my assumptions were wrong when Tracy called me earlier," Chris said while staring at the angry King's face.

"It's not my fault that you let your imagination run wild so why are you telling me this?"

"Because right now, Josephina is in the Queen Mother's chambers and you know what exactly she will do to her if you don't leave for the palace now," Chris said firmly.

"Your Majesty, I know you hate me and I won't complain since I deserve this but Josephina is innocent. Let's not punish her for my sins," Chris pleaded when he saw Kayden's unmoved expression.

"How dare she try to mess with my people again? Was the warning I gave not enough?" Kayden muttered angrily.

"I heard the Queen Mother was thrown into a fit of rage after Miss Tiffany called to inform Her Highness that you stood her up the entire day," Chris relayed the little he knew about what happened at the palace.

"I guess they are quick to forget things and that's why they forgot my words so soon. I guess it's time to remind them who is in charge here," Kayden said as he stretched his hand to open the door of the car.

The stubborn Chris held his hand for the second time, causing Kayden to turn and glare at him.

"Didn't it sound like you wanted to save her or don't tell me you have changed your mind?" Kayden asked sternly.

Chris couldn't resist smiling when he realised that Kayden had agreed to leave for the palace with him.

Chris quickly released Kayden's hand and opened the door of the car for him.

While Kayden took the lead Chris driving at a lower speed followed him closely.

On reaching the palace, Kayden didn't go to his chambers to get changed but he visited the Queen Mother's chambers.

On his way to her quarters, so many palace maids and guards greeted him but Kayden was too angry to answer their greetings.

"Your Majesty, please have a seat. Her Highness is…," Kayden walked past the lady who was trying to obstruct his path.

"Where did the King go?" Kayden from where he stood overheard his mother's voice in the room she was in.

"Are you trying to tell me you value your loyalty to him more than your life?" The frustrated Queen Mother asked fiercely.

"I have already told Her Highness that I don't know where His Majesty went. There is nothing…,"

"If you are so curious to know where I went, why don't you ask me instead of taking it out on the innocent," Kayden, who just kicked the door open, asked sternly.

He walked into the room Majestically.

The moment he entered the room he glared at the two guards who were pinning Josephina.

Understanding the signal, the guards immediately let go of Josephina who was bleeding from the hand.

"Chris take her away to get treated," Kayden ordered the guy standing behind him.

Chris after saluting the Queen Mother helped Josephina out of the room. The two guards were also excused from the room.

"I wouldn't have gone that far if you didn't stood up the Prime Minister's grandchild," Queen Mother said without feeling any remorse for what she did.

"Did you just lay a finger on my person because I didn't meet up with that murderer?" Kayden asked coldly. He turned and squatted in front of the woman sitting in a red chair.

"Had been quiet these while made you and that senile old man forget what I said or are you really eager to step down from your position as the Queen Mother?" Kayden asked while staring into his mother's eyes.

"If you are so eager to retire as the Queen Mother I don't mind granting your wish but if you have no such thoughts in mind it would be better you stop meddling in my business".

Kayden stood up from where he squatted. "Because I have been letting her hover around me like flies, doesn't mean that I have forgotten what you all did…," Kayden trailed. He raised his right hand and punched a hole into the wall.

"Neither have I forgotten my words. Let this hole here always be a reminder that you owe me the life of my Queen. Never forget this debt ok, Your Highness?" Kayden asked coldly as he turned and glared at the quiet lady.

He left after making sure that she had understood his message.

Tracy, who was waiting outside the door, ran in to check on the Queen Mother.

"Your Highness, are you ok?" Tracy asked worriedly as she kept examining the woman's body.

"If he thinks that he can threaten me with my position just because he has got one dirt on me then he is very wrong," Queen Mother said with clenched teeth and fist.

Meanwhile, as the King was returning to his chambers, somewhere in the Kingdom a girl in a white dress was seen watching a group of people partying on the porch of a two-storey building.

"I was thinking of how to get my revenge on all of them and here they are together. I am so thrilled that they choose to make my work easier," Joanna grinned evilly as she glared at the group of people whose laughter she could hear from where she stood.

"I guess it's time to replace the mean witches' laughter with screams of terror," Joanna pats the bird sitting on her shoulders. Her smile turned even deadlier.
