40 40. You my lady should know better.

Lawrence smiled but he didn't let her go immediately. She had threatened him meaning she no longer feared him, he had to make her fear him again. Sure she was scared of him now that she had seen that she was no match for him but he wanted her to fear him all the way. He wanted her to be petrified of him. He dug his fingers into her skin as blood dripped from her neck. Pain exploded in her body so much she closed her eyes unable to take the pain anymore.

Lawrence was going to kill her.

"Don't ever threaten me again Stella or the mortal will be the least of your worries." He exhaled. He calmed down and retracted his hand from her neck then he moved backwards by a few inches, he wanted to grant her space to breathe. He watched as she wallowed on the ground now gasping for air. The wound on her neck took time to heal because it was impacted on her by him, an elder, in fact if she were to be a new vampire that wound would have killed her. Wounds inflicted by the elders were fatal especially to new vampires.

"I am not threatening you." She stammered. She stood up finally finding her bearing after minutes of gasping for air. Her breathing still came out harshly but the wound on her neck had healed. "The gods forbid that I do that my love." She added.

"Let's leave the gods out of this." He grinned, now that he had put her in her place they could carry on like nothing happened.

She adjusted her gown her eyes steady on him. She knew why he did what he did, he wanted to put her in her place. She was hurt very hurt and angry but she covered it up with a smile. All she had to do was get Lucius to marry her daughter then she would be the one putting Lawrence in his place. But for now she just had to play along. She blinked to him then she pushed him on the bed and perched on his thighs. He put his arms around her pulling her close to him so she was sitting on his cock. She immediately felt uncomfortable but she just had to play along for her ambitions.

"If my daughter is made queen you will be made next In line to the king. That won't be hard seeing that Victor is a traitor" Stella said caressing his cheek. His eyes travelled down her body and he swallowed in anticipation. He would never get used to the voluminous body of the Lady sitting on his thighs now.

"War is coming to us and Victor is still very much alive." He choked out trying to reason with her although he had already lost all his concentration when she started to Caress's his cheek.

Stella shut him up tactfully.

"And very much dead. He is a traitor and you know the king has no mercy on traitors he would die soon and you will take his place but only if my daughter is made Queen. What is better that being the right hand man to the king? Fighting by his side."

To be the king. Lawrence thought but didn't voice it out.

"She is his soul mate." He was saying when he heard the loud scream every vampire heard. "And now she is bound to him." He finished.

Stella shouted jerking away from his thigh immediately she heard the scream. She clenched her fist in anger hitting the wall with so much force it broke. Lawrence wasn't bothered by this, he had the cabin fixed Every time they met. Stella was one crazy bitch Just like her daughter or maybe even worse. "We need to end her soon. We have only twelve ours before she is crowned Queen by morning." She growled in anger.

"His heart, soul, mind and body is bound to her now. We cannot separate them and even if we do how are you sure he will marry your Daughter or even fall in love with her. They had been Together for a century and he still hasn't touched her what more when he has seen his soulmate and lost her. I fear this is too dangerous." Lawrence tried to reason deceitfully.

Stella's eyes were blood shot. She could see her dreams flashing in front of her eyes and she was on enraged. She had given so much for this, she had sacrificed so much for it she couldn't just let one person take everything away from her and her daughter. "Leave that to me my Love. Lucius will fall for my Daughter that I can assure you" She paused thinking of a plan then she smiled. She kissed Lawrence gently on his lips. "We just have to end her first. Do you have the portion?" She asked. Lawrence smiled knowing what she wanted done and how she wanted it done.

"You my Lady should know better. I won't let a mortal rule over us Consider her dead." He laughed loudly as he kissed her. Stella smiled in his lips.

The mortal girl should have known better. Stella thought. And as for Lucius he should wait and see. She had been going easy on him for centuries trying her best not to cross the line and now he thinks them weak. He would definitely regret bringing that mortal to take what rightfully belonged to her daughter.
