Bedding My Vampire Mate

"T-that...," Anthony stammered with his head lowered.

The way he played with the tip of his finger made Joanna realise that something was wrong.

"What did you hear or see that made you want to sleep in my room tonight?" Joanna asked the boy who dared not look at her face for reasons best known to him.

"Anthony Anderson, you better stop playing the mute game on me and tell me the reason you said you want to sleep here so you can protect me," Joanna said sternly when she saw that her soft approach didn't work on Anthony.

"Who or what do you want to protect me from?... You better tell me the truth because this is the last time I will be asking you this question," Joanna ordered in an intimidating tone.

"Grandma will spank me if she learns that I told you about it...,"

"I won't tell her anything and I promise you that she will not overhear anything we will say here so go on and tell me what she did hmm," Joanna said.

She smiled at him to assure him that she has got everything under control.

Anthony took a glance at the brown door before he leaned in and whispered into her ears.

"I overheard Grandma talking to a man earlier. She ordered him to.... hmm what is the word she said again?" Anthony scratched his head as he tried to recall his Grandma Cora's exact words.

"You don't have to narrate everything the same way she said it. You can tell me in a way you understood it," Joanna replied, noticing that he was having trouble remembering the wicked woman's exact words.

"She said she was fed up seeing the face of the daughter of the woman who almost ruined her daughter's perfect family. She asked him to kill you in the cruellest way possible...," Anthony trailed, his eyes glued on Joanna's face.

"Also, she told him that she didn't care about how many pieces they cut you into. All she cared about is that you stopped existing in the same world she lived in," Anthony concluded in a soft tone.

"I am scared that they might come and carry you away while everyone is asleep. That is why I want to sleep beside you so I can keep you safe," Anthony said affectionately.

"Did your Grandma really say that?" Joanna asked curiously. Instead of trembling or getting upset, merely hearing that the old hag wanted to harm her made Joanna want to chuckle.

"Yes," He shook his head positively.

[I believe the old hag doesn't know what she is getting herself into, and that is why she is doing pointless things. She must be a joker if she thinks that just anyone is capable of hurting me...]

"Big Sis, if you are scared of what her men will do to you, I can go and plead on your behalf. I believe that Grandma will not deny whatever I want...,"

"Look at me carefully ok," Joanna instructed as she gazed into his eyeballs. "Does it look like I am scared or worried about my safety?" She demanded, not looking away from his face.

Anthony took a good look at her face as she instructed. He was surprised at how calm she looked despite the news he broke to her.

"Why aren't you scared that her men might kill you?" He blurted without thinking.

"Hmmm...," Joanna trailed as she stood up and moved to the window at the corner of the room.

"Because I have grown past the stage where people's schemes over my life no longer scare me," Joanna expressed confidently.

Anthony stood up and proceeded to join her at the window.

"Big Sis, Anthony, what does it mean to grow past the stage where the schemes of those who want to kill you don't scare you?" He asked innocently.

Joanna smiled as she turned and peered at the face of the boy standing beside her.

"Although I can't tell you anything right now, I promise that I will slowly tell you in the future," She muttered and patted his hair with her right hand.

"Little rice ball, thank you for always looking out for Big Sister. I am very grateful to have such a caring little brother who loves me to no end," Joanna beamed at him.

"Big Sis, am I not the one who should be saying that?" He demanded.please visit

His cute expression made Joanna chuckle. "I don't know about that," She smiled and pulled him closer to her.

Joanna and Anthony stood in front of the window gazing at nothing in particular.

"You need to go to school tomorrow so let's go and lay down now," Joanna commanded. She held his hand and was about to turn around when she got a glimpse of a figure outside gazing at her window.

"H-he has finally decided to come and see me," Joanna beamed as she gazed at the figure in the dark.

"Who are you talking about, Big Sis?" Anthony quizzed. He looked out through the window and he was able to see him too.

pαndα-noνɐ1,сoМ "Is that Brother...,"

"Little rice ball, you might need to go to bed now without Big Sis tucking you in tonight. You can do that right?" Joanna asked and squatted in front of him.

Even if he had any complaint to lay, he couldn't when he saw her glimmering eyeballs.

"Yes," He responded.

"That is great," Joanna remarked beaming. She stood up and hurried to her wardrobe. " I will leave now but I will try to come back early...,"

"You can take your time," He cut in softly.

Joanna paused what she was doing and turned to look at him.

"My little rice ball is super considerate and that is what I love about him," She complimented.

She continued with what she was doing.

She had already slid the brown jacket into her body and was about to hasten out of the room when Anthony spoke.

"He is gone," Anthony exclaimed, his attention centred at the last spot he saw Amos.

"What do you mean by he is gone?" Joanna demanded as she walked to the window.
