“That is good then, my daughter. To be honest, I don’t want you to get married yet. You need to enjoy first your youth before you get married and have children because I am telling you, life is different if you are married already and have kids. Right, King Timodore, my love?” Queen Asalea said as she looked at her husband so tenderly and lovingly.
“Right, my Queen. My life changed completely when I married your mother. It became narrower, I cannot breath most of the time, I am being choked,” King Timodore said teasingly. He was laughing while Queen Asalea was pinching his side.
It was a happy scene and of course, Princess Neoma knew that should she get married she wanted a family as happy as their family. She will be a good and loving wife and mother just like her Queen mother.
“Really, my King? Hmm, I promised to make your life even narrower. You should always be beside me and you cannot get out of this palace without me beside you,” Queen Asalea retorted with a wide grin.
King Timodore tapped his forehead and rolled his eyes to tease more his Queen wife. In this scenario, who would even think that King Timodore is a powerful King? He is simply a husband and a father at this moment and this is one of those happy times that his twins cherish. Like his Queen wife who has been a doting wife and a mother, not all the time does he need to act like a King to his children and to his wife.
Their joyful moment has been interrupted by Dreckos, who got inside the throne’s hall with a worried face.
“What is it Dreckos?” King Timodore asked with knitted eyebrows. He could sense something not good.
“My King, our main gate guards noticed five black cars rounding our premises. We cannot tell yet who are these people,” Dreckos reported and King Timodore’s creases on his forehead deepen.
“I am sure that it is the Vampire Supremo. Tell them to be more keen and alert.” King Timodore said. The Vampire Supremo will not stop until he gets what he wanted or until he died.
“Princess Neoma, we have no option left for the Vampire Supremo but to kill him. It seems like, he will never stop and if he will not be stopped, we will never have a peaceful life. We already lost a foe when the Ecleteon’s became our allies. Now, we need to trim down another one, not to become an ally “though.” King Timodore said again while looking at his daughter.
Princess Neoma nodded with her eyes fierce now. She already gave the Vampire Supremo a chance to escape hoping he will finally retreat but if he will not and he will continue to bring harm to her, to her family, and to their whole Kingdom, she will not hesitate to use her power to its maximum limit against him.
To be killed or not, it is within the choice of the Vampire Supremo. She will just serve him what he desired.
"He will deserve what he wanted, Queen mother and King father. His death is near if he will not back out like this early on," Princess Neoma swore and she intend whatever she sworn to.

At the Ecleteon Palace, Alpha King Burkoo was still restless after he woke up from his nap. He went to his office again and then decided to summon, the Beta's daughter.
A few minutes after, Twinkle was already knocking once again at his office door.
"Come in," he said in his natural Alpha King voice.
Twinkle's smiling face popped out from the door but Alpha King Burkoo was not looking at her. He was looking at the document he prepared a while ago.
"My Alpha King," Twinkle stated to catch the attention of Alpha King Burkoo.
Slowly, he raised his head and looked at Twinkle with an unfathomable expression.
"Have a seat, Twinkle. I need to discuss something with you," Alpha King Burko said without any smile on his lips.
Twinkle took the seat beside his executive table and then she focused her attention on their gorgeous and young Alpha King. She loves watching his face and his every move. That is how obsessed she could be with their Alpha King Burkoo. Twinkle heaved a breath while observing him and remembered that romantic moment that they shared at the swimming pool.
"Twinkle, I am getting married soon to my mate. She is Princess Neoma," Alpha King Burkoo said as his way to start their conversation.
All of a sudden, Twinkle's face turned to ashen. "Princess Neoma? She is a vampire, right? How could it be that she is your mate?" she asked frantically. Her agitation on what she heard from him can be clearly noticed on her pretty face.
"Yes, she is a vampire. A powerful vampire, who happened to be my fated mate."
"How about me, Alpha King Burkoo. What am I to you? A mistress?" she asked in an almost exclaiming manner.
"Cool down, Twinkle we will not understand each other if you will be in your heights of emotion. Listen first," Alpha King Burkoo said softly but he uses his Alpha's tone so that Twinkle will cower once she heard his command.
As expected, Twinkle calm down and she lowered her head. "Yes, my Alpha King."
"Twinkle, you know very well that we are not mates. I cannot marry you and make you my Luna Queen. That is just so impossible especially since I already found my real mate. Besides, one day, you will also meet your mate. I cannot take that opportunity from you because to tell you honestly, meeting your mate is the blessing of all blessings. It is blissful and your mate will complete your happiness. I will not make you as my mistress either because I believe, you do not deserve to be treated as such. You deserve more than that position in life, Twinkle. " Alpha King Burkoo said, hoping that Twinkles mind will have clarity and took note of what he said.
Twinkle's tears now are uncontrollable. She wept like she was being hurt and tormented. Alpha King Burkoo got the tissue paper and handed it to Twinkle.
"Here, wipe your tears, Twinke. I am not worthy of your tears. Please stop crying. it will not change my mind or decision to marry my mate.
"What about that thing that happened between us?" Twinkle asked as if she found a good reason to trap him.
Alpha King Burkoo shook his head and looked at her, "It was a complete mistake, Twinkle. We should have not done it. My apologies."
"What? You will just apologize after you took my body? You said I deserve better than a mistress but you are treating me now, worst than a mistress. I am not a prostitute Alpha King Burkoo that you will just drop anywhere and pay and then it is all over," Twinkle said with ignited veins on her neck. She wanted to rip off the heart of that Princess Neoma.
"It was not like that Twinkle. Do not make things hard for us, otherwise, it will even be harder for your side to accept the truth. Twinkle, move on. I do not deserve your love nor your body once again. Someone deserved them better than me. I hope you understand," Alpha King Burkoo said again patiently. He is actually getting pissed off but he cannot just be angry now with Twinkle. First and foremost, she was right. He took her body and feasted on it on that night in the swimming pool.
