CHAPTER TWO

DANIEL'S POV:

As I was wandering throughout the city looking for someone, I came across an ice cream stand. 'It's so hot, I should buy some ice cream.' I began to move towards the stall, thinking.

It was difficult to see straight because I was wearing a hoodie to shelter myself from the blazing sun. I ran into someone as I walked towards the stall. I instinctively stretched out to grab her, which resulted in me hugging her.

'I should stop!' I wanted to leave her, but there was something tantalizing about her that made me hesitate. 'What is this odor?' As I was wondering, the girl began to make a scene and yell about how I had damaged her ice cream. 'She has a lot of energy to shout in this fcking weather!'

It was becoming difficult for me to hold her since she was struggling so much. I was going to let her go when my lips accidentally touched her neck.

'Inquisitive! For someone to have such beautiful, flawless skin!' I take a deep breath unconsciously. 'Her blood odor... it's lovely,' I hurriedly snapped out of it. 'What in the world am I thinking?'

For me to get interested in a normal human girl?!' I keep my face away from her neck, trying not to suck her blood.

Just as I was about to see her face, my attention was drawn to a man I saw coming in their direction. 'What the hell is he doing here? Finally found him, but in such an awkward situation... 'Damn, I should leave!'

I take a step back and sprint as fast as I can in the opposite way, hurriedly whirling the girl in his general direction.

I came to a halt after covering around 3 km in 2 minutes. "What the hell was he doing here?! And what's the deal with that girl? Was she with him?"

'For me to almost lose myself to urges? It's been a long time since I've felt this way about someone. When was it last?  Fifty something years ago? The first time it was because of Katherine's fucking bit*h! And now for this woman!

I should have asked her name.' At least I took her picture in the last seconds,' I thought as I gazed down at my phone.

Sighing I started walking towards my house. 'What a messed-up day!'

When I got home, I called Adrian, my best friend. We've known one other for about 50 years and consider ourselves to be brothers. He was the one who stood by me while I was at my lowest point in life. Which I am still grateful for.

I gazed out the window at the sky, where the moon was shining brightly for all to see. 'What a lovely sight.' I was reminded of my past as I gazed towards the sky.

It was a night like this one. There was nothing spectacular about it other than the fact that I had broken up with Katherine, which had left me inconsolable. I needed some alone time to process my emotions. As a result, I abandoned the pack.

I had no idea our adversaries were watching us at the moment. Because I was the alpha or leader in our case, my absence caused problems.

Taking advantage of this, werewolves or hunters attacked us. I was terrified when I first learned about it. I hurried towards my pack, not thinking anything of it, but it was too late by the time I arrived.

All I could do was stand there, silently, staring at the decaying bodies of individuals who had once been my comrades... my family.

I was walking on the ground, towards the bodies that were all too evident to me. As the strong odor of blood assaulted my senses.

The stench I was all too familiar with... I cried... I cried! Is it my fault? What if I hadn't abandoned them due to my folly? "Say, is it my fault, Father?!?" I yelled, hoarsely, towards the body that was lying on the ground, a sword piercing its heart. 'Dammit…'

The stench I was all too acquainted with... I sobbed... and sobbed! … Was I to blame? What if I hadn't abandoned them due of my folly? "Say, Father, is it my fault?!?" I yelled, hoarsely, at the body on the ground, a sword inserted in its chest, piercing the heart. 'Dammit…'

After learning of her husband and son's deaths, Mother traveled overseas to alleviate her grief.

With my mother gone, I was on my own. I was at a loss about what to do with my life. Everything appeared to be as dull as it could be. Perhaps death is preferable to life as a hollowed-out walking ghoul. That's when Adrian helped me.

Though I wouldn't call it sharing, he did assist me in reliving my grief. It is sometimes preferable to have a company other than none.

At that time in my life, I realized what it meant. He provided me with motivation as well as the knowledge that enraged me beyond comprehension.

Katherine, that bitch, dumped me for a whore hunter! I was furious! It was my fault, not hers, for falling for such a harlot. I gathered my forces and, with the assistance of Adrian, reclaimed the title of King of Vampires!

"Daniel, what's the problem, dude? What did you call me for?" Hearing a voice drew me back from my reverie. When I turned around, I saw a man who appeared to be 23 and had a well-kept beard that gave him a roguish and wild appearance. I cracked a grin.

"Adrian, how are you doing? Is it true that I haven't seen you in a while?" I said this as I walked up to him and hugged him.

"Very good. And the reason we haven't met in a while isn't because a certain king isn't doing his job correctly and leaves everything to me?!" Adrian inquired, resentfully. However, he never stopped smiling.

"Oi! Don't be that way! You know I have a lot on my plate and am not very good at office work!" I responded by rejecting his charge.

"Alright, alright. Tell me why you called me," Adrian asked while shaking his hand.

"I need as much information as you can obtain about this girl," I mentioned this while showing him a picture of the girl. 

Adrian raised an eyebrow as he saw the picture. "Why are you on the lookout for her? Did you fall in love or what?"

"Nothing like that, I'm simply interested in her," I said, shaking my head. 'Me? After all of Katherine's drama, I'm falling in love? 'Impossible!'

'Impossible!' Adrian made a contemplative expression.

"You do!" I replied, which astonished me.

"I mean, she's their only daughter!"

"WHAT! So, why didn't you tell me?" I inquired.

"Because you never asked," Adrian explained with a shrug.

I was rendered dumbfounded. 'This guy! He does it on purpose!'

"Anyway, schedule a meeting with her parents for me!"

"Wait! That is not something I would recommend. They don't want to get their daughter involved in this mess!"

"That's not my problem, but theirs," I say, turning to face him as he sighs. "All right, I'll take care of it."

"Thanks. What is the name of their daughter, by the way?" Curious, I inquired.

"Jamima!" Adrian said as he walked out of the room.

'It's finally time to exact my retribution!' I exclaimed as I gazed out the window. My father, brother, and fallen comrades. They will never be forgiven for killing your life, and I will never forgive them. 'Just as they took everything valuable from me, I will take theirs!'

Bzz*bzz*

I pull out my phone to see if it was a message from Adrian, 'Damn, He is fast!' I grinned when I looked at the envelope. 'Things are finally starting to become interesting. Huh~ I'm curious what their expressions will be when I will adopt her as my blood pet! It must be a joy to witness!'

***

Reaching to her parents' place the next day. I knew they would never agree to my terms of handing their daughter to me, so I devised a solid plan to ensure that they couldn't refuse me under any circumstances.

When I got to the front door, I pressed the doorbell, and they both walked out. Mr. Parker opened the door and greeted me with a smile, as did I, but there was this discomfort between us that was utterly ignored.

I wanted to leave them with the finest image of myself.

I sat on the chair as they welcomed me into their home. Mr. Parker and her wife followed me in. Mrs. Parker served me a cup of tea, which I accepted.

We all began to discuss about odd topics, such as the present state of the government and other topics.

For a while, the room was silent, interrupted only by a little apprehensive Mr. Parker. "Look, Daniel, we've accepted our mistake from fifty years ago. It was 'she' who led us astray in the past, right?

Is there any purpose for you to come meet us today since we've already solved this problem?"

I smiled, hoping to calm their anxieties "Don't be concerned, Mr. Parker. I'm not here today to reminisce about the past. What has been done is done. It's pointless to think about it."

Mrs. Parked exhaled a sigh of relief and inquired, "Then what may be the reason that the King of Vampires has personally come to speak with us?"

"Well, that may sound strange and suspicious, but your daughter, Jamima, was identified to be my mate, and I am come to take her!" I smile at them.

They both glance at each other, terrified. I laughed inside as I saw their bemused expression. 'This is only the beginning, Parkers. Wait, as there will be more surprises in your lives!'

"Impossible! Is Jamima your mate? How do you know she's your soul mate?" With a grimace on his face, Mr. Parker said.

"Please, Mr. Parker. We both know what it's like to be close to your mate. I mean, you should be able to tell, shouldn't you?"

Mr. Parker gritted his teeth because he does make sense, and muttered, "Let's say we believe you. Will you, however, guarantee that she will not be put in danger?"

"Give me six months, and if she does not agree to stay with me after that time, I will leave her and will not compel her to stay with me again. So... what are your thoughts?" I said this while staring directly into their eyes, which appear to be trying to escape reality.

"But-..." they began to say something, but I cut them off this time, "Look, Mr. Parker, don't let me force you because you also know that we vampires will go to any length to be with our mates, and if anyone attempts to stop us, the outcome will not be so~ good."

Their heads were hung down and they were thinking about the current predicament "At the very least, I am a better option than the other guy, Danny. Mr. and Mrs. Parker, don't you think?" I remarked this as I took a sip from my cup.
