The black market was a dangerous place where the vampires comes to buy things which are rare to find in a normal market.
Only strong vampires are allowed into this territory and now his mother has brought his mate to a dangerous place like this.
It wasn't hard for him to locate Carson, three SUVs were waiting in the middle of the black market waiting for his arrivals.
As he walked towards his mother, the other vampires bowed down in submission, it was rare to find the vampire king in a black market and when you do, they got to respect them selves.
His mother shivered at his stare, he was intensely mad at her, he was ready to rip her apart in a instant but he knew he needed to calm down and find his mate before more greater harm happens to her.
"Where Is my mate Selene?"
Blade asked, he only called his mother by her name when he was furiously mad at her and may the goddess help him not to rip her apart in front of his men.
"I do not know, she.....she was behind me, gazing at the flowers and touching them, she wanted a different flower, she complained about not liking the ones in the castle, so I brought her here, to the black market, perhaps she might find a perfect flower of her choice."
Selene said, she looked totally horrified, she had never seen the vampire king so angry like this.
"Where is my mate, you haven't given me a good explanation where my mate is!"
Blade said, watching as his mother shuddered under his words.
"I could not find her when I turned back, I tried searching, I asked around no one knew where she went to, some said they saw her and later on couldn't find her standing. No one knew where she went to."
Selene said, she had been crying profusely over an hour now.
"Take her back to the castle. I will go look for my mate."
Blade said and quickly he ran off to the direction where his mother said she saw his mate standing last.

In a room filled with telescope and other devices, Bella was tied in a chair, her eyes covered tightly with a piece of rough clothing, her lips sealed and her hands and legs completely tied in a chair.
Bella shook furiously in the chair, she could not imagine her self be in a condition like this. Things were going smooth the last minute and right now she could not understand what happened to her in the next seconds.
She could not remember getting tied so badly in a chair.
"Please let go of me...."
Bella said, but her words sounded muffled.
"Please let me go."
Bella muffled, she felt so scared, where the hell was she and who had captured her, was she kidnapped by her pack members, was she back to her former pack.
She waved her head furiously, this cannot be so, she cannot be back, things were working so smoothly for her, why would she return back to the pack, back to Lucas.
She felt a sob rake through her body, she preferred been dead than allowing her self wallow in another pain and bitterness.
"You think you are back to your pack?"
Bella heard a feminine voice said, the voice sounded more childish, as if it belonged to a child, it was a conned voice.
"Remove the tape from her lips, we need to speak."
Bella heard the voice said again.
Bella wondered who owned the voice, she felt a figure approaching towards her, quickly she pushed her self back, she could not allow her self to be touched by this anonymous people.
"Behave yourself, you don't want to feel any pain....yet do you."
She heard the conned voice said, quickly she stood still, allowing who so ever that was there to take off the bandage on her lips.
"Who are you and what do you want from me?"
Bella said, she was totally scared, all she wished for is to head home and sleep and cuddle with her Teddy bear.
"Now you can speak boldly, seems the king have been giving you a lot of tutorial lessons, you speak boldly than when you were in your former pack, when you were tormented and raped by your mate Lucas."
The anonymous voice said, Bella froze at her words, she felt a sense of neutrality flowed through her body for a while before she felt the real feeling of pain and anger and hate flood through her body.
She quivered terribly and her lips shook with pain, she could feel the tears which was about to flood through her eyes, ready to explode down her eyes. She felt her broken self finally returning back in triple and she wondered how easy it was for this anonymous person to describe what had happened to her that night in few sentences.
She mustered the last courage she could muster and finally she spoke.
"Who are you and what did you know about me, what do you need from me."
Bella said, her voice which was once firm at the beginning was shaking with immense pain which she had never felt before. The pain she was feeling now was doubled more than the one she felt when Lucas took her forcefully.
"Hmm seems you appear stronger than you look. Well I needed to investigate about you, I needed to find something alluring about you, something that will kill your will power since you are the mate to the king, the vampire king whom all women need."
The conned voice said, Bella waved her head, now she understood, this was about the king, then it hit her slowly, was this person who had kidnapped her involved in the killing that happened in the castle.
Was this the person who was planning on taking care of her.
'May the almighty protect me'
Bella whispered, she was in a deep shit and she hoped she will be saved before any further harm happens to her.
"You got mated to Lucas, he raped you the same night, rejected you and then you found your self in a pack where you are love and accepted....."
Bella heard the woman stopped speaking for a while, she wondered where she ran off to.
Then suddenly, she felt a pull on her head, someone was dragging her head so roughly, a heavy scream erupted from her lips, she felt her body thrown on the wall, her body came crashing together with the chair.
"And you think this will be a perfect love story huh, getting your self mated to the king. You are insane to think something like that will happen to you, because you are worthless and guess what else, after you got rejected, Lucas married your sweet sister who is now pregnant with his child. But I doubt that is his child, since whoreness rakes through your family."
Bella tightened her fist tightly, she was not going to scream at her, she was not going to cry because who so ever this conned woman was, was lying to her, non of her words were true, her sister could be a whore, but she wasn't, she wasn't worthless, the vampire king who was well known and respected always listened to her and always treated her like a queen, as he always mentioned, she had been taught and treated like queen.
She felt her self smiled at this thought, she was a fool not to have believed the king a long time ago, she would have believed him, but instead she never did, she would have told him her past, but she never did, she was ashamed of her self and her past and she loathed men, she did not trust men but now, he was able to break through her walls completely.
"Why are you smiling so damn hard instead of you to be screaming, you should be screaming and crying till you pass out than smiling."
The conned voice screamed, Bella smiled again, truly a smile could win thousand wars, a smile is a virtue.
"I have seen torture and received words as harsh as this, non of your words or physical toture can cause me any single harm or pass through the fiber of my skin, you just like my sisters, jealous and rotten who always ends up with the bad eggs."
Bella said, giving her a smile, a smile of victory.
"Ahh how dare you speak such words to me, am the one In charge here not you."
The conned voice said, Bella felt a figure approaching her, she tensed up, ready for another physical abuse.
"There was one mistake you did though, you never told the king you were raped by his enemy, you never told him you got a mate at first and you got rejected by him after he had raped you, I doubt you have."
