Bedding My Vampire Mate

Chapter 589 Talks About The Curse Resurfaces

"Hmm..." Joanna shook her head affirmatively, the sweet smile on her face grew broader.

There was silence in the room afterwards.

"You asked about Kyle earlier, what do you need him for?" Audrey demanded when she recalled that Joanna wanted to tell her something before their conversation took another dimension.

"Damn it! I can't believe I forgot about that," Joanna remarked and jerked to her feet.

"Like I told you, Kay was unconscious when I left in pursuit of the attacker. I was locked out of the palace when I returned so I wasn't able to get information about how Kay was faring," Joanna paused to catch her breath.

"My phone is in the palace, I can't call Chris or Josephina to ask about his condition. I was hoping I would be able to use Kyle's phone to reach out to them," Joanna explained in a hurried tone.

"He spent the night here and only left after he received an urgent call. If you had come an hour earlier you would have definitely met him," Audrey replied. She reached out her hands and pulled Joanna into the space beside her.

"How about you call him and find out where he is or I could just drop by at his home or club," Joanna said. The anxiety on her face didn't escape Audrey's notice.

"I would have loved to do that but it's just that I called him some minutes after he left when I discovered that he left his wallet behind. Unfortunately, his phone was switched off..."

"That is ok. I can always look for him at the club," Joanna cut in and sprang to her feet.

"The caller was Chris. I remembered he said someone was hurt and from Kyle's terrified expression I believe this must have had something to do with Kay. They agreed to meet up somewhere so there is no way you will find Kyle in his home or club," Audrey elaborated further when she noticed that Joanna wanted to leave in search of Kyle.

"Damn it!" Joanna cursed and kicked the couch Audrey sat on, startling Audrey in the process.

"Without him, there is no way I can get in touch with those at the palace. What am I gonna do now?" Joanna grumbled and sank into the space beside Audrey.

"What about Mr Fin?" Audrey blurted with intentions of helping out. 

"You told me that Mr Fin and Kayden are quite close. I am sure he must have means of getting in touch with those at the palace," Audrey explained calmly.

She let out a sigh of relief after she saw Joanna's frown eased up following her suggestion.

"I know his home so I will look for him there," Joanna said and dashed towards the entrance immediately.

"Let's go together," Audrey shouted and jumped to her feet. She hurried to catch up to Joanna.

With the help of Audrey's car, the two best friends were able to locate Mr Fin's home in the quickest time possible.

With so much hope in her heart, Joanna located Mr Fin's apartment home. She knocked on the brown door several times but got no response.

Her disappointment knew no bounds after she discovered that Mr Fin was not around.

After they left Mr Fin's home, Joanna and Audrey searched for the possible places Mr Fin would have been but nothing came out of this too.

Like a cruel joke, Joanna couldn't get an update on Kayden's condition no matter how hard she tried. And this went on for three days.

On the third day Joanna, who had been taking turns to stakeout at both Mr Fin and Kyle's place, almost lost her mind due to anxiety.

Her state of mind hit rock bottom when she got wind of the news circulating about Kayden.

"Anna, have you seen this?" Audrey asked and passed the cell phone to Joanna.

At first, Joanna wasn't in the mood to look at the phone but had no choice but to take a peep at the screen when Audrey insisted.

For few minutes, Joanna had her eyes glued on the screen after reading the headline of the trendiest topic online.

"I heard that the news has been circulating for two days. We haven't used the internet for three days because of the pressing issue and that is why we didn't see it on time..."

"What this reporter wrote is just nonsense. I was present when Kayden got attacked, so how dare they insinuate that the King was cursed?" Joanna grumbled and flung Audrey's phone on the centre table.

"I don't think the articles online are totally nonsense. Have you forgotten that this is the fourth year that Kayden became King?" Audrey asked to Joanna's further annoyance.

"And what the hell does this have to do with the nonsense reporters are saying online?" Joanna demanded harshly as if Audrey was one of the reporters who wrote the articles about Kayden online.

"Don't you remember rumours of the previous kings and how they mysteriously died in their fourth years of reign?" Audrey asked after she realised that Joanna didn't realize the point she tried to make and instead got furious at her.

"T-t-that..." Joanna stuttered, looking a bit calm.

"For over two decades, the King always met their demise in their fourth years of reign and Kayden celebrated the anniversary of his four-year rule not long ago. Don't you find it suspicious that the rumours of him being cursed and the mysterious death of the previous King surfaced as soon as he got attacked?" Audrey asked in a serious tone. She paused for two minutes to give Joanna the room to sort out her thoughts.

Just then Joanna recalled the numerous incidents that had taken place ever since she returned.

More than two death attempts have been made on Kayden's life and for some reason she has felt as if someone was watching her.

Thinking back now she remembered that the system notified her that a demon was around some time ago.

She never took the notification seriously since she believed that the system alarm made no sense.

[Was that demon who harmed Kay the same one my system warned me against?]

Joanna subconsciously bit her nails as she kept on staring into space.
