Bedding My Vampire Mate

Chapter 586 Kayden Got Attacked At The Palace

"I bet this is the reason his skin felt so tender and smooth. It must have played a huge part in why his skin is always glowing right," Joanna murmured as she gazed at the bathtub which was filled with roses and other skin treatments she couldn't recognise.

Kayden who overheard everything she said from the bedroom beamed each time she spoke after finding a certain thing amusing.

[Although I never could have imagined that Joan and I would get married today and even share our first night in my chambers, I am overjoyed that things went this way. The ministers can grumble however they want but what I am most certain of is that none of them will be able to stop me from bringing my Queen to her rightful home]

Kayden was in deep thought as he gazed towards the bedroom door.

A few minutes later, Joanna had just soaked in the bathtub when cool music started playing inside the bathroom.

With the soothing effect of the bath and the music, Joanna closed her eyes and enjoyed this bath experience like she had never done before.

When she opened her eyes, Joanna wasn't aware of how long she stayed in the bathroom but all she knew was that she had a great time.

With only a bathrobe wrapped around her slender body, Joanna stepped out of the bathroom looking wet. Just a look at her alluring body one would clearly know what her intentions were.

"My King..."

"Who is there?" Joanna yelled and stopped in her tracks the moment she saw a shadow-like figure beside the bed. 

Because the room was dark she couldn't see what the person was up to but on taking a closer look, she noticed that the figure whom her system identified as a demon was harming Kayden with its powers.

Without further ado, Joanna appeared at the spot where the figure stood.

"Kay, are you alright?" Joanna called him when she noticed that his eyes were closed and that he wasn't moving.

"Hey, what the hell did you do to him?" Joanna turned and faced the attack after she called Kayden for the second time and she got no response again.

The furious Joanna charged towards the shadow-like figure she had flung to the other side of the room.

The commotion as she exchanged blows with the attacker attracted the attention of the guards and maids from their respective duty posts.

Joanna was so close to subduing the shadow when he ran out of the room.

For a minute Joanna was conflicted about whether to chase after the shadow or to stay back and look after Kayden.

"I am sure you will be alright... I must catch the one who did this to you so that such an incident will never take place again. Don't worry, I will come back for you," Joanna spoke as if Kayden was awake to listen to everything she said.

After taking a long look at Kayden's face Joanna dashed out of the room. She was downstairs about to run out of the sitting room when she bumped into Josephina, Gideon and Chris at the door.

The three of them including those who followed behind had all transformed into their original form.

"Did you see the person who ran out of here?" Joanna asked hurriedly, her gaze focused on Chris' face.

"Miss Joanna, was there someone else other than His Majesty and you in the chambers?" Chris asked in confusion and it was then it dawned on Joanna.

[Joanna, how could you forget that apart from you, those who haven't seen a demon before would have a hard time identifying one, not to mention seeing them...]

"I think I felt something brush past me a while ago. Although I couldn't make out a figure, I knew that there was something odd about that phenomenon," Josephina cut Joanna's thought short.

"I also had a similar experience. I thought I was overreacting when I turned around and couldn't see anyone or anything in sight," Gideon added.

"Damn, it must be trying to get out of the palace and to make sure that I don't lose it, I have to leave now," Joanna said and tried to hurry out of the room but Josephina held her hand.

"I am sorry about that, Miss Joanna," Josephina bowed her head and apologised when she realised what she had done.

She let go of Joanna's hand and moved two steps backwards just like it should be.

"You haven't told us what happened Miss Joanna and who you are running after..."

"I don't have the time for that but I promised to give you an explanation when I returned," Joanna cut in abruptly. She was about to rush out of the room when she remembered that she had forgotten something.

"I don't know what that demon did to His Majesty that made him unconscious. You must call the physician and have him checked on the King as soon as possible," Joanna addressed the three of them this time around.

"His Majesty is unconscious?" Josephina, Chris and Gideon chorused as they exchanged puzzled glances.

Before Joanna could spell JACK the three of them had vanished from the room. Joanna also left in search of the figure she fought with earlier.

Thanks to her system Joanna didn't have a difficult time finding the demon who didn't possess a body.

Although she found the demon just when it was about to escape the palace walls, she was unable to go catch it. And it became difficult to do that after she followed him out of the palace walls.

Despite that the demon didn't have a body Joanna was still able to sense that it was afraid of her because of how it kept running and avoiding a face-off with her.

Yes, the figure was good at hiding and running away and Joanna proved not to be any different as she hunted the demon down.

By the time she realised how far she had run, Joanna was dumbfounded when she saw that she was at Hilmert Forest and was close to the demarcation of Kingdom Twipera from the Golden Core Pack.
