Bedding My Vampire Mate

"Who said Lucinda was an immoral woman?" Elder Carter asked angrily.

"If she wasn't what they call her then why did she get pregnant for a man who is married with a child?" Joanna asked. She didn't only sound angry but looked furious. It was as if all her piled up anger she has been suppressing all these years had suddenly sprung up from within.

She has always wanted to blame someone for her predicament and years of suffering and this seems to be a perfect time.

"If she didn't get pregnant for a married man then my life wouldn't be what it is. I wouldn't have to live my life in hell if she didn't do this? So why? Why did she do this?" Joanna asked, not able to control her pains.

Tears bubbled in her eyes when she recalled all she went through all these years.

If she wasn't a strong-minded girl and have high pain tolerance, even though she didn't end up dying because of everyone's bullying then she would have committed suicide.

"Lucinda was your father's mate," Elder Carter blurted out. She couldn't stand seeing the girl in pain.

"What? But how come nobody ever mentioned that? They instead always refer to my mother as the other woman," Joanna asked the same question which was on Audrey's mind.

Elder Carter went ahead to narrate all she knows to them. She was very detailed about everything, especially when she learned that her best friend was wrongly accused of being an immoral woman.

Lucinda was never what those people all called her.

At the end of the narration, everyone was left perplexed.

Joanna and Audrey couldn't believe that all they have ever known about Joanna's mother were big fat lies.

"From what I know mates always spend their lives together so how come this is different?" Jocelyn asked, looking disappointed at what she heard.

"How could he be a coward and forsake his mate only to marry a wealthy and powerful lady all because his mate was powerless?" Jocelyn added angrily.

"He is the one who got her pregnant because he couldn't withstand the bond that joins them together so how dare he keeps quiet when that mean mother and daughter duo always talk bad about your mother?" Audrey clasped her fists. She felt the urge to hit something.

She knew very well that the centre table would fall apart if she punched it and that is why she tried to control her anger.

"So my mother was innocent of all their accusations after all. If there is anyone who should be blamed for my birth it should be none other than my father," Joanna said.

All these years she has always believed those despicable words said about her and her mother. She never knew the entire story.

Because her father's family was powerful he couldn't settle down for a mate who was nothing but a powerless lady whom everyone referred to as a failure.

He chose to overlook their bond and settled for another woman whose family wasn't only wealthy but has a reputation for producing powerful werewolves.

Since he chose the wealthy and powerful Adhara over her poor and weak mother then how dare he go back to her claiming that he couldn't resist the bond that he shares with her.

He was the one at fault for having intimacy with her mum despite knowing that he has a wife and a two years old girl so why did everyone push all the blame to her mum?

Were they not in the same village when all this happened so why did they turn the innocent Lucinda into the bad guy?

Joanna had so many questions going through her mind but none was available to answer them.

"Even though I had left after the war, your mother and I were still in contact. I remained her best friend and confidant despite everything," Elder Carter said.

"When I first saw you I should have recognised you through those rare purple eyes of yours but unfortunately I couldn't since you looked so different from your mum," Elder Carter said as he stared at Joanna's face.

"Granny, are you trying to say that my big sister looks ugly?" Anthony asked, frowning.

"Haha… that is not what I meant little boy," Elder Carter smiled on seeing how overprotective Anthony was.

"I meant to say that compared to her mother who was an average beauty, she is a goddess. She looks very beautiful. She has become prettier than when she was a baby. The only thing which hasn't changed from the baby picture of her that I have is those rare sets of eyeballs," Elder Carter beamed at Joanna.

"Do you mean that you have a picture of Joanna when she was a baby?" Audrey asked. Her lips curled into an evil grin.

"Not only do I have a picture of when she was a baby but I also have pictures of her mum," Elder Carter replied. Joanna exchanged glances with Audrey.

After Adhara burned the only picture of her mother she had when she was a kid, she doesn't have anything that reminds her of her mother.

In fact, she doesn't know what her biological mother looks like.

"You have my mother's pictures? Can I have a look at it?" Joanna said politely.

"I will be more than pleased to show it to you," Elder Carter said. She stood up and began walking away.

"Please don't forget to bring her baby's picture. Let's have some laughs while looking at it," Audrey yelled so that the woman now far away from where they sat would hear her.

"Why do you have that mischievous look on your face huh?" Jocelyn asked playfully. She is the master of mischief so she would know if she sees that someone is up to no good.

"What are you planning to do with Joanna's baby picture?"

"What else if not to tease her for always laughing at mine?" Audrey said, smiling.
