The door opened revealing Alaric, he wore a golden robe and a tall golden cap, three men stood beside him.
"Hello Father, what brought you to my room."
Azura said, she was dressed for a party, obviously the King's party.
"You plan on attending the king's birthday?"
Alaric said, his voice was laced with surprise.
"Do you have a problem with that father?"
Azura said as the maid helped her to fix her necklace.
"You haven't learned your lesson yet Azura? The king is not going to be happy when he sees you in his pa...."
"I do not fucking care what the king thinks of me, I am free from my punishment after all."
Azura said her face squeezed with anger, she had Been hearing rumors, how the vampire king had taken the weak she-wolf on a date.
Never would she allow that to happen, she was not going to allow herself to be disgraced In front of the entire pack, everyone had believed she was to be the next Luna of the pack, not some weakling who had run into their pack.
"What do you intend on doing, walking into the party, without an invitation. Azura, I have plans, I know how to hurt you are but we need to take things slowly."
Alaric said, walking closer to his daughter as he held onto her shoulders.
He also was disgraced when his daughter was punished in front of the enemies.
"Have you forgotten who I am, I am the daughter of the highest vampire elder in the vampire clan. I know my ways of getting an invitation. So now what are your plans, plus you need to know this father, I am not a woman of patience."
Azura said, smiling at her father, a smile which never reached her eyes, a smile which signified death for another.
"I plan on taking the King's mind away from his mate. Cause a problem then make him lovesick over you."
Alaric said, Azura stared at him, he was speaking in parables, the vampire king can never be loved sick over her.
"And how do you plan on making that happen, father, you speak in parables."
Azura said, throwing him a suspicious look.
"I plan on using a very powerful witch to deviate the king's mind from his mate."
Alice said, giving her a smirk.
Azura closed her eyes tightly, hoping her father was not intending on giving the king a love potion.
"Do you intend on giving the king a love poti...."
"Exactly that is what I planned, I plan on making the king hate his mate and then love you by giving him a love potion."
Alaric said, interrupting Azura.
Azura hissed lightly, quickly she left Gwen Father's hold, she could not believe her father could think of doing such a thing.
"You do not like my plan?"
Alaric said he could see the gloomy expression that laced on her face.
"Love potion? Hahaha, do you think the vampire king is so weak to get cheated with a love potion? Do you fucking know what a mate bond is? So Ok fine, let's say the love potion worked on the vampire king, and then what happens next, he will love me for maybe a month or even a week or maybe a day, and then when he comes back to his senses and then comes to find the truth, he would rip us apart and run to look for his mate. Father forget about the plan."
Azura said the maid was done dressing her Make-Up.
"What are your plans then?"
Alaric asked his daughter.
Azura turned forward quickly, a devilish smile filled her face.
"I plan on making him hate her, I plan on setting traps, traps that would cause their downfall. The vampire king thinks he knows himself more than I do. If only he knew, I know his dislikes, what he hates most and what he cares so much of. I will make him hate her and when that happens, the she-wolf would have no option but to run away, then you can do your own part which is, sending your men after her to end her life. When the king hears about his death, I will be there to comfort him, and then get close to his heart till I capture it completely."
Immediately those words left her lips, a light laughter escaped from her lips, she could not believe she was so brilliant to even form such plans.
"Ok as you say. Be quick the party is about to begin."
Alaric said, giving her a nod, he left the room.

The hall was sparkling with golden and silver decorations, the walls were painted with glitters which made the hall more beautiful.
There were a lot of high-class men in the room, high-class vampires who own chains of businesses and who control different vampire packs.
The party had begun, Blade looked around the room, everyone was dressed in different expensive gowns and suits, all matching the color of the day.
But nevertheless, that would not stop him from knowing his mate when he sees her, he had specifically bought her dress for the party himself.
Her dress was the first collection precisely from the best fashion designer in the fashion industry.
He had already imagined how perfect she would be In the dress.
He looked around the room, the room was filled with dangerous vampires who would not hesitate to suck the blood from her especially when they smell her blood to be a she-wolf, a rare kind.
There was not a single mark on her body which signified she was his mate and only but few people knew she belonged to him.
This party was going to be dangerous to her if she was to be alone, he needed to be sure she was always beside him, under his watch.
"Where is my mate, Carson."
Blade's mind linked to Carson.
"She is heading to the hall, I lost track of her whereabout a few minutes ago, but now she is back, she is heading to the..."
"Watch everyone who she makes contact with. I do not wish for my birthday to end in bloodshed."
Blade said, he would not think twice to rip who so ever that dare caused his mate any single harm in his party. Fuck! He did not care for the party, he had only attended his birthday party because he wanted to make her happy.
"Yes, king Blade."
Carson said cutting the mind link.
The door opened and Bella stepped into the room, her presence attracted the attention of most of the vampires in the room.
She stayed rooted on the door, she had not been expecting to see a lot of vampires.
They reeked of power, money, and most of all danger, she shuddered at the intense stare they were throwing towards her.
Slowly she took a step back, this was not where she was meant to be, a weak person like her, standing among strong blood-sucking creatures, powerful creatures of the night.
"Hey you dear, you look beautiful, what are you doing standing there. Come let me be a guest at this party."
A young handsome vampire said, stretching his hand towards her.
Bella looked around, she was searching for a man who possessed the darkest eyes and hair, she felt her eyes made contact with his, she felt her body froze and her heart skipped at what she saw.
His eyes were darker than she had ever seen, his face was twisted as if he was in pain and slowly her eyes drifted down to the glass he held, a tiny gasp left her lips because the glass which the vampire king held had been broken into pieces.
