Bedding My Vampire Mate



"What documents is that and how come I have never heard of it before," Joanna murmured.

"Wait here while I go get it," He instructed. Before she could stop him, he was nowhere to be seen in the vast room.

Kayden didn't keep her waiting but reappeared in less than a minute with a white paper in his hand.

"Here," He muttered and stretched out the paper to her.

Curious to know the mysterious documents he talked about, Joanna took the paper from him.

"Marriage certificate!" The words escaped from Joanna's mouth as soon as she saw the heading of the supposed document he mentioned.

"Yes. Like I said nobody will be able to question you if you sign..."

"But this doesn't make sense right?" Joanna cut in. She tried to hand over the documents to him but he refused to collect them.

Meanwhile, as Joanna and Kayden talked, the maids and guards standing guard outside kept exchanging puzzled glances.

"Let's give His Majesty and Miss Joanna some privacy," Chris said when he noticed that the conversation going on inside the King's chambers made everyone uncomfortable.

"Sure," Josephina replied as if she had been waiting for him to say that. She was the first to leave while Gideon and Chris left a bit later after they had surveyed the area and made sure it was safe.

Back inside the King's chambers, Kayden who has been trying to get the unconvincing Joanna to sign the marriage certificate decided to use his last resort when he saw that she was still unmoved.

"Are you reluctant to sign the papers because you don't want to marry me? Do you want to dump and leave me heartbroken after I have satisfied your fantasy?" Kayden asked, frowning. He let go of her hand and moved away from where she stood.

"You know that is not why I am reluctant to sign the papers," Joanna tried to explain as she hurried to stand in front of him.

"If you were some ordinary guy out there I wouldn't have had to think a lot or weigh the pros and cons but you are the King, Kay," Joanna announced her hands spread in the air.

"You are the ruler of this vast Kingdom. I will be chewed alive if I sneakily get married to you even though it's on paper. Your mother doesn't like me and likewise your council of ministers," Joanna explained in a soft tone.

"I can handle the ministers just fine and as for my mother, as long as I am still in power, she can't touch a hair on your head," Kayden assured her. Although it sounded more like he was boasting, it was indeed true that he had those two areas under control.

With the trump card in his hand, the ministers would have no other choice but to obey his orders.

"Right now, all I want to know is if you are willing to become my wife. That is the answer I want to hear from you, Joan and I give you my word that I won't force you to do a thing if your answer turns out to be negative," Kayden went ahead and gave his word even though it was very difficult for him to make such a promise.

Despite being nervous, Kayden didn't let his emotions show on his face. He was afraid his true emotions would force her into a decision she wasn't comfortable with and that was why he perfectly masked his emotions.

Joanna stared at his face for a while and didn't rush to give him a reply despite knowing the answer to his question.

[Standing in front of me is the King himself. With his position, he can easily get any woman he so desires. In fact, almost all the women in the Kingdom are vying for his attention and yet he chose a nobody like me to love. Although I was destined to be his woman, he never forced his feelings on me. Instead, he respected me more than anyone I have ever known]

Joanna chuckled when she remembered the many times Kayden proposed to her. Although she just realised not long ago that he was serious about his proposals, she still finds those memories fun.

[He has done so much for me, many of which he never took credit for. He has waited for so long for me without wavering. What other ways does a man need to prove that he truly loved a woman if not through all of this?... And who am I to reject such an amazing man like him especially when his kind are rare to come by...]

"Why? Are you not willing?" Kayden asked when he noticed that it was taking her a lot of time to reply.

"Of course, I want to marry you..."

"Then that is all the answer I wanted from you. Leave every other thing to me and I promise you that sooner than you think, the Queen's quarter and the position beside me will forever be yours," Kayden promised. He spread his hands and embraced her tightly.

With all her fears proved to be nothing by the man in whose arms she was, Joanna eased her worries and engraved her name on the marriage certificate.

Kayden repeated the same procedures and afterwards stamped the certificate with his Royal Seal.

"So when are we gonna go to the marriage bureau to have our marriage authorized? Will it be after our Royal wedding or..." Joanna deliberately left her sentence incomplete as she waited for his response.

"In the Kingdom, my Royal Seal is far superior to every other seal and authorisation there is. Any documents stamped with the Royal Seal don't require any other approval and that is to say..." Kayden trailed off. He turned and immediately pinned her hands against the couch.

"From this moment onwards you are not just my mate that can be easily discarded but you are legally, morally, and officially the wife and Queen of King Kayden Greyson," Kayden whispered flirtatiously. The feeling of his hot breath against her skin made Joanna feel giddy.
