“Its quite obvious you do not like the king’s mate.”
Selene said, staring at the doctor who wouldn’t dare look at her in the face.
“Why you think I will have such feelings towards the king’s mate queen Selene?”
Isabella said, looking at the queen slightly before continuing with what she was doing.
“Because its quite obvious you do not like the girl. You love the king, the way your eyes shone with sadness when I made known about the king’s slave to your hearing was not something I cannot miss in a short while.”
Selene said, challenging the doctor to speak lies if what she said was false.
“I do not know what you are talking of, but what I know is that I meant good for the king’s mate and the king himself.”
Isabella said, defending herself from the words which the queen mother said, she was mindful of how she spoke, the queen mother might not hesitate to kill her if she whispered any foul words.
“Then why did you rush down to meet the king immediately he had asked for your presence.”
Selene said, watching as the doctor removed the old bandage from her legs, applying an oilment then switching a newer one.
“Queen Selene, the king had demanded to see me and I came running immediately to meet him as he had requested. Who am I to disobey the king’s orders.”
Isabella said, throwing a light smile at the queen mother.
“Really, is that so.”
Selene said, not ready to quit the argument.
“Yes queen Selene. I do not have any hate towards the king’s mate.”
Selene said, tracing her fingers on the king’s mate hair, the girl looked lovely, young and innocent, too innocent to be the king’s mate.
The queen mother was right, she had a deep affection for the king, but now she had find out that the king had a mate, she….. did not think she will get rid of those feelings….. so quickly.
“What if I have a way I can make your feelings towards the king not to be wasted. Don’t you think these little she wolf is too downgrading to have been the king’s mate.”
Selene said, waiting to see the reaction of the Isabella.
Isabella looked up at her quickly, the queen mother was trying to play with her head.
“If the king belongs to me, then the gods will bring him to me, if he belongs to someone else…”
Isabella said, turning to look at the king’s mate,
“Then the gods will lead him to her, and the gods had already picked who is best for the king, who am I to question the gods order. I do not wish for death.”
Isabella said, looking at the queen once more, she stood up, dropping some bags of drugs on the table which stood beside the bed.
“These drugs should be given to the king’s mate when she awakes, and please make sure she takes alot of apricot soup. It will make her heal faster. Good bye queen Selene, hope to see you soonest.”
Isabella said, walking out from the room. She had taken everything in her to be near the King’s mate and the queen, the queen was not someone she could mess with nor tolerate.
Selene stared at the door which just closed, shocked to the brim. She was not expecting the doctor to leave so quickly, the doctor loved her son, now giving her a free gift in a platter of gold and then rejects it was not favorable.
A cough from the bed broke her from her thought and she turned quickly, staring at the bed.
The she wolf looked as if she had woken up from a night mare.
Selene strode towards her in quick strides, holding into her arms. The she wolf looked scared, and she knew all she needed were sweet words which she never knew how to give, but she do try.
“Shhhhh, is alright, is just a dream, whatever you dreamt was a BADDDD dream and will never come to pass.”
Selene said, hoping her words made any effects to the girl.
Bella looked at the woman sitting on the bed beside her and comforting her.
Her hair was messed up and she was happy the huge man Blade had not seen her like these, she shook her head, getting rid of those thoughts. She had a terrible dream few minutes ago and here she was thinking about the ruthless vampire king.
“They were after me, they were trying to get hold of me and take me back, I do not want to go back, please do not send me back.”
Bella said, tears glistening in her eyes as she spoke.
Selene stared at the she wolf, she had not known her yet, but she felt pity for her, something she had never felt before for someone, not to talk of a shewolf.
“Who were after your life”
Selene said, staring at the she wolf who quickly looked up at her, she could feel the fear that sipped out from her body. The fear was ready to capture any body close to her, but she was not anybody, she was a vampire, a pure blooded vampire.
“My pack. They are here!”
Bella said, standing up from the bed, with a quick swift, she jumped out from the bed, her ass landed on the floor and a loud scream escaped from her lips. She had forgotten that she had not healed properly.
Isabella stared at the she wolf, her eyes switched up, boring daggers at the she wolf. First the she wolf stood beside her, receiving words of kindness which she had never given to anyone in her entire half a decade life of living and next she ran out from the bed, landing her ass on the ground.
There was no doubt, the she wolf was trying to bring trouble for her.
“Come back to the bed, no werewolves are here except you. Is a good thing you are beginning to open up, but not a good thing that you are always landing your fucking ass on the floor always, do you wanna put me in trouble, by getting my head detached by the vampire king, my son?”
Isabella said, watching as the she wolf wave her head furiously, obviously scared with the thought of seeing a head detached from ones body all because of her.
“The vampire king kills and cuts head just for someone, but he is your son?”
Bella asked, knowing the vampiress would not help her stand up, using all the strength in her, she stood up from the ground, walking towards the bed.
Selene rolled her eyes, she had done a mistake by mentioning one of the king’s habit to her and she hoped the she wolf never one day discuss these topic in the future with the king.
“Yes, but he only does that for one person, whom you will get to know later in the future. As for me being his mother, it does matter, he is my king, and I need to obey orders”
Selene said, throwing her a smile.
“Oooh, I understand”
Bella said, she was beginning to feel free with these vampiress, but she did not know if her freedom would extend to others, maybe to the alpha king, she waved her head, no, never Will she be close to him. He possessed a dark sweet aura, and he is sexy and hot and mouthwatering more than other men she had seen, more than Lucas. Again, she waved her head, these time, more furiously, what was she thinking, comparing two dangerous men together and thinking about the appearance of the vampire king who would not hesitate to kill her if he ever had a clue of what was going on through her head.
“Why the sudden waving of head?”
Selene asked, she had seen her waved he head multiple times and she wondered what insane thoughts runs through her head.
“Oooh, is nothing. Just a silly thought of mine.”
Bella said, giving her light smile, a tiny pinkish blush appearing on her face.
“Ok if you say so. What is your name, please do remind me again.”
Selene said, not arguing further with the she wolf.
“Am Bella Manchor”
Bella said, her last word sounding bitter in her lips.
“You bear the same name, Isabella.”
Selene said, was these a coincidence, that her son’s mate and the doctor shared the same name. Then what about the elder’s daughter, Azura, would she bear a Manchor. Selene thought, smiling at her funny thoughts.
“Is there a problem with my name queen…”
Bella said, realizing she did not know the name of the queen mother.
“Am queen Selene, and there is no problem with your name. I mean is your name and your parents had given you a nice name, am just thinking about a woman, who bear the same name, whom you will get to meet In the future.”
Selene said, giving her an assuring smile.
A knock on the door was heard and a young maid stepped into the room.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
“Doctor Isabella had requested for an apricot drink should be made for the young girl.”
The young maiden said, bowing her head low, too scared to stare at the vampire queen, but she was curious to know who the young she wolf was, heee scent had indicted her identity.
“Ok, drop it on the table and leave.”
Selene said, watching as the maid bowed down once more, but not failing to take a look at the she wolf. Before exiting from the room.
