ADRIAN'S POV:-
I taped my fingers as our state governor kept on telling my father, King Jason about the recent happenings in the kingdom. I got bored as there was nothing interesting to take in. I looked to my elder sister over my mother, Queen Anmah's side. She looked to me and passed a reassuring look that it would soon end. I liked monarch but not listening to the random stuffs about marketing, I liked wars, scheming, and assassinations etc. By the time he stopped talking, I was slumped over my throne.
My sister, princess Elsa walked toward my side as my parents stood and indulged themselves with the kingdom's stuff with the governors. I sighed and stood resting my hand over the swords hilt. It had become my habit lately. Elsa clasped her hands in front of her and looked at me with those green eyes that radiated pain. I hold her frame slightly and smiled which barely reached my eyes.
"Elsa, don't worry. It will be over soon. Austin and you will have your own world soon. Once that bitch is found, you will marry Austin. She will never cause any trouble to you."
I reassured her the nth time. Since eight years the bride trade had not been made because of that bitch. She ran the day our marriages were announced. I never wanted to marry her. I was doing do this for my sister. And I could thing for my family. My sister and her brother loved each other since they were fifteen. They did not even know the true meaning of love back then but this attraction grew when they turned eighteen and finally acknowledged each other as mates. I was ten back then and that bitch was nine. The bride trade had to be done for young princess blood. If Vampbell's princess left then Vampshire princess had to come but that bitch made my sister wait too long to be with her mate.
Once I laid my hands on her, I would make sure she pays. I have turned eighteen and still I could not find my mate nor was I desperate to. I had a sexy girl, Kara for my sexual pleasure. I had vented my anger on her since I turned fifteen and ever since I had been permanent to it. The court room was full of murmurs when a man in uniform might be some guard came rushing in the court and bowed. My father accepted his presence and he announced the news which made my blood boil also made me felt so happy for my sister.
"Sire, Princess of Vampshire has been found and taken care of."
The court turned into cheery voices and my father announced for the preparation of bride trade as my sister shed the tears of happiness. I hugged her as I thought different ways to torture that bitch. The time had come. I had waited for it for so long. All the misery she caused to family would be paid soon. I smirked at my thought and left the court room to the preparations. I was walking in the hallway when I spotted Kara in the garden. She was the daughter of my mother's dead friends and after their death she had been the part of our family.
I walked toward her and snaked my hands around her waist. I took her off guard and nuzzled in her neck taking in her seductive scent. She turned around and her arm encircled my neck. She passed me as sad look and I looked at her in confusion.
"What's bothering you, love?"
She sighed and pressed herself to me as her voice started to make words.
"Now that the lost bitch has returned, you won't love me anymore."
I chuckled and leaned in her that our lips were almost touching. I whispered with a husky voice that made her heart beat louder that I could feel it through.
"I will be yours; no matter she comes here or not. She is the bitch, I loathe and you are the angel, I love."
She smiles as she backed away making me confused of her actions. Her hand was in mine as she tilted her head slightly which made me aroused. She had those charms, I could not resist. Her small actions made me on verge. I wanted to take her to bed right now. As if on cue, she said.
"Then prove it to me."
I clutched her hand tighter as I made my way to my chambers. Once in my room, I locked the door for any interruption and pushed her on the near wall as I crashed my lips on her taking her breath out. I bit her bottom lip and she let me enter. I tasted her well before pulling and continued with wet kisses down her jaw to her neck. She arched her neck to give me better access. Her hands reached my pants as I practically tore her dress and any piece of cloth on her body turning her totally nude for me. She freed me from my attire as we reached the bed without breaking the kisses. I threw her on the bed and kept on giving hickeys over her neck and collar bone. I traced my tongue in the valley of her breast as she took fist of my hair moaning to my pleasure. I sucked on her nipple while massaged her other mould. I continued my way down to her sensitive area and she moaned as I got harsh with my every thrust. She moaned my name in pleasure as I felt satisfied. She took the dominance onward and continued pleasing me and it continued till a knock on the door.
I changed into my clothes while she struggled with her but I didn't care and opened the door wide to a servant standing there. She ran behind a pillar and the servant bowed to me as I huffed in annoyance.
"The King wants to have a word with you."
"Fine, I will be there."

I walked in the court room and it was surprisingly silent. I bowed to my family and stood in the center of the court. I saw my sister smiling widely. She sure was happy as my mother held her hand beaming at her. My father stood and came near me. He placed his hand over my shoulder as I lowered my gaze in respect.
"Son, the time has come. The bride trade will be held by the next Friday and I want you to get ready for the binding ritual as she might not be your mate and as for Elsa that is another case."
"I will always be ready, Lord Father."
The binding ritual was done to bind the vampires without the mate bond so the mark could be made. I had prepared myself for so long for it. The thought of finding my mate after the marriage came to me but I would reject her for my family's sake. For my sister I could marry thousands of bitches and would make them worship me. I was like this and I might never change. I had already thought of tortures I was going to put on that bitch and this time I would make sure it is a complete success. Just seven days more and I would have my hands on her. The thought of having her under me was so pleasant that I could not stop smirking. Just wait Stephanie Valera, you would beg me to spare you and I would never give it a thought.
