"Goodmorning" the king addresses me
Harry ordered me to help with garden with the other older ladys in the building. He said it would be a great way for me to relax and have some fresh air.
"Your suppose to bow" the girl whispered towards me. I didn't even notice I was staring at him. He had a smirk on his face. Just like harry... yeah this was definitely his father. I came into realization with myself and Curtsied towards him. When I lifted up, he was standing really close. I backed away a few.
"Walk with me child" he says before brushing my arm while he walks past. I listen to his orders.
" how does it feel to be in the vampire kingdom " he asks
"I-I uh-uh" I stammered. He laughed and told me to sit in the chair in front of him. We sat a table away from each other. An older lady came over and pour him piping hot tea
" please speak, there is no need to be nervous " he suggested
"It's different than the villages. More things to look at" I said
"You are absolutely right about that sweetheart" he says
"How did you get kidnapped" he asked. The question totally shocked me
"I know the auctions aren't volunteer girls" he laughed. "That's were harry found you right" he added
" yes -" my eyes flicked up, unsure what to call him
"My king darling" he hinted and wink. I swallowed
" I was walking home from getting water out the well" I admitted telling him how I was kidnapped
" that's unfortunate, but also for a good cause. Your a great investment for my son " he made known.
"Good for him" I comment.
"You have this big aura in your heart when he is mentioned" he says. " your in love with him aren't you" he teases. I blush, wanting to get away from this conversation. But I couldn't just get up, this is the king
" little slave in love with her master" he chuckles.
"Mia" harry said in a hurry, when his eyes landed on me and noticed I was siting with his father, he got furious
He walks over and grabs my wrist quickly before heading back to the mansion.
"Don't speak to him" harry mumbled
" why- what's wrong" I asked. I didn't want to speak him Anyways, but how was I suppose to ignore the king?
" just don't!" He says before sitting me down.
"What did he even say to you anyways" he asked.
" nothing really, why does it matter"
" don't talk back to me" he said sternly
" he just asked me how did I get kidnap and ..." I dozed of my not really wanting to tell him
" and " he said impatiently
"If I loved you.." I whispered
His tenseness fell as soon as I said. There was no emotion on his face as always.
"Oh" he sat down beside me. There was an awkward silence before I grew the balls and said...
" ... how do you feel about that " I asked him.
He chuckled. " Mia I don't know honestly" he said
" love is a big topic, don't you agree" he turn towards me. I nodded my head. But I didn't agree. I would love to hear those three words come out his mouth. I feel that way. I wish he did too
"Don't lie " he said huffed. Shit. He read my thoughts
" I can't help it, i know I'm just your personal slave but... I do. I do love you" I said
" stop" he said while getting up. My heart ached. Stop?
" you want me to say it back but, I can't. I care for you deeply Mia. But I simply can't say that" he said in a low tone.
My heart felt like it was in my stomach.
"Okay" I said simple. Not wanting to break down crying, I began to walk away.
"You have a photo shoot today" he informed as I walked up the stairs into room.
I didn't feel at home here but I eventually had to get use to it. Everything was beautiful of course. But I wasn't Harry's home.
I was a little upset by the conversation I just had with harry. What does he mean he can't say it? Does he not feel the same way? My god he was my first time and the man who showed me there is more in this world than dirty rags and a small wooden house. I understand he was a vampire but he showed me that his heart beats a little. That's has to mean something...
Right?
All this thinking, turned into overthinking. Than I began to get anxiety.
Suddenly there were two knocks on my door and it opened. Showing Harry.
" hey, I can hear your heart beating downstairs..." he says. " are you okay up here" he asks
" yes I'm fine" I lie
"Mia" he said sternly
" it's nothing, I promise" I say quickly. He walks over it me before placing his cold hands on my cheek.
"May I" he asked before moving my hair to the side.
"S-Sure" I whispered. He kissed my forehead making my stomach flutter. Than he extract his fangs, going for my neck. His tongue slid on my vein, than he bit. His grasp on my arms became firmer as he groaned into my neck. He pulled away and lick his lips.
He covered my marks and walked towards the door.
" I'm going to a meeting, I'll be back soon okay" he says before walking out the door. Leaving me in my wonders

Harry pov
" So you want vampires to change? " the man shouted.
I was in an important conference meeting with vampires leaders and my father, even the human leaders were here. I was surprised that they spoke in a bravery. Demanding and such.
" Something needs to change. If you kill off the humans, than how will this world repopulate?" The human lady argued.
Wow that was a really good point.
"Your dead. You can't have children anymore. Only we can and killing us off will cause a big issues" she said. The table was quiet. I looked over at my father and seen him frustrated with the conversation
"We will set a strong law about killing humans" I stated. My father looked at me.
"We will place human security for little towns and villages to protect your people, trained to kill a vampire of course"
"The humans that are taken and auctioned, will no longer die under a vampires hands. Most wealthy business men like me, have abundant amount of slaves. If we go over some things with them, I bet I can get them to understand" I ended.
"But no humans killing us, by any means. Killing either species would be felony, and sentence to what ever punishment my father gives whom ever"
" what if we want all the girls you've men took, back into their homes" somebody said.
"Now what would we get out of that" my father laughed
" it's not about what you get out of it, take you millions of dollars back, let those girls go free. Most of the girl you took helped around homes and hospitals. It would be so helpful to have them back. " they argued
" not negotiable" I said. Eyes fell on me and arguments rose. That means Mia will be taken out of my care. I would never see her again. I'm not going for it.
" king?" They asked. I gave him a hard stare
"I'll think on it, for now, i will sign this treaty of equality. No humans kill us, no vampires will kill your kind, agree on I" he announced.
The whole room said I as , my father and I stamped papers. Everyone removed themselves out the building and into their cars
"Great job in there son" my father placed his hand on my shoulder. "Come on lets go to a little party held on the top floor" he offered
**
As I walked off the elevator into the party room, my eyes immediately fell on Mia in the indoor pool area. She was surrounded by other girls in bikinis, drinking and laughing.
I couldn't take my eyes off her. I forgot how amazing she looked half naked. Even fully naked... but I had to be the bigger person and correct her on her mistake
"Mia!" I shouted
