LORD NIKO SITH'S POV
I can't believe I had run off when Cedric asked me what I was. Advisor Maxwell had impeccable timing and when Cedric was escorted out of my office, I was happy to see him go.
How was I going to announce to him, that I am a vampire, so are my brothers and you are our mate?
It was too difficult hence I chose to step out, let Cedric leave, and then I walked back in and asked the guard to bring Advisor Maxwell back. I walked to my desk and sat down breathing in and out to control my beast.
" Your majesty " Advisor Maxwell walked in and bowed.
" Maxwell, did I send you off to fornicate with humans, why do you smell like you just had sex hours ago?" I demanded.
His eyes widened and he chuckled and said " I forgot how sharp your senses are, your majesty. Forgive me. I rushed over without going to my quarters to clean up. The information you wanted required me to meet a certain someone and I would not have gotten it if I just left like that "
" You had to sleep with a human to get information? How fucking powerful is this human for you to sleep with them " I stood up and bore his eyes.
He seemed to contemplate at first and then he blurted out " General Emmet Your Majesty"
" General Emmet? Are you fucking kidding me " I pointed at Advisor Maxwell?
" Yes. He is the only one who could give me the information you needed, Your Majesty" Advisor Maxwell raised his hands in frustration.
" Fine," I nodded at him.
" Cedric Chalon is a witch. Born of the lineage of the Charon family, they term him as special since he has powers. He trained with General Emmet and the Elisera council has been holding back from sending him, saying he was not ready. But given his age, they could no longer hide him and sent him to Sith Castle"
" So he protects his mind and has powers? Is that all?" I demanded.
" Yes, your majesty", Advisor Maxwell nodded.
" Why do I have the feeling they knew we would not resist him when they sent him to us?" I muttered.
" I will try and find more information. But for now, that is all that he could offer, Your Majesty"
" Maxwell, you have been with General Emmet before. I chose not to ask five years ago when you sneaked down the mountain to learn about the slaves. But when you returned you were different and chose to stay in the gardens pleading insanity. Now I know that you fell in love" I chuckled.
" Forgive me Your Majesty " He went down on his knees and bowed.
I walked over to him and pulled him up" Wouldn't I be a hypocrite if I judged you and yet we are in the same situation? Cedric Chalon is our mate "
" What ?" Advisor Maxwell yelled.
" Lower your voice " I scolded him.
" I apologize, your majesty, You just shocked the living shit out of me. " Advisor Maxwell responded. " I knew you were all attracted to him but mate?"
" Yes. " I nodded and sat on top of the table, one foot dangling down.
" The coven will go crazy " Advisor Maxwell whispered. " No wonder I heard Enforcer Warren sent guards to attack him. I know he was just following orders from the greedy coven members"
"Of course. But right now he has no powers and I asked Claudio to get rid of anyone loyal to him." I informed him.
" You need to do more than that, your majesty. I know what the Coven taught us but could it be that because Cedric is a witch, it makes him different from the humans and that is why he is your mate? I heard that he is formidable in battle and ranked first in his class. " Advisor Maxwell narrated.
" I know. I watched him fight the guards from a distance. For now, I know that hearing the voice in my head helped him as I rushed over to save him. On arrival, I found four guards down. He had fought them off and the remaining two stood at a distance. "
" That will not be enough to protect him. Guardian Lenora needs to step up and ensure the coven stays away from him. In the meantime, I need to consult the old man in the mountains" Advisor Maxwell shuddered.
" Grandfather is a delusional man " I snapped
" Yes, he might me. But remember that he went up the mountains after your grandmother died. There he found his love. What the coven never told you was that the lover he found was a human. The coven sent someone to kill her and he went insane after that. They hid the truth and when I went down to Elisera five years ago, I was blown away when I met General Emmet. His blood called to me and I knew he was my mate. I have been holding back for so long your majesty and that is why I stay alone in the garden. "
" Is that why they jailed him? For the fear or revenge?" I growled.
" Yes. So many things are kept in the dark by the coven and one would wonder what it is they want Your Majesty" Advisor Maxwell whispered.
" I will go up the mountain soon but you need to prepare to go back to Elisara. I have a feeling that they did not just send Cedric here for service. There is more to Fabian and Cedric. "
" Shit. I was so caught up I forgot to ask about Fabian" He cursed and slapped the back of his neck.
" You mean your cock rules your judgment and you ended up forgetting the task at hand ' I teased him and we ended up laughing. " Thank you Maxwell for putting your body on the line for us. "
" Your majesty, please " He closed his eyes in embarrassment.
" Fine. I better stop it " I nodded.
" A word of advice to Your Majesty, you better keep Cedric for a while. I realized that creating distance will make him want to come to you. Let him miss you. Trust me he will come. " Advisor Maxwell stated.
" I will take your advice, your Advisor Maxwell and let us see how it pans out " I nodded.
