"I found my mate and I think she just rejected me so... yeah happy me," I responded. I tried to keep my voice neutral so that I could hide my pain but it was such a fail.

"Well if it makes you feel any better, I don't have a mate either brother," Damien responded. For someone who was human, that is before I turned him, he sure did lack empathy. "Does she not like your form?" He asked after realizing that he wasn't making me feel any better. I looked different. Yes that was true.  But not that much different. I know that that wasn't the reason why she rejected me if I can call it a rejection. My mate rejected me because I was of low status and income.

Damn it, I was mated to a gold digger.

Dimitri is an original vampire. He is also soon to be king. As part of his pre-coronation duties he is to disguise himself and live among his soon-to-be subjects such as to understand them better. However he cannot get caught. If anyone recognizes that it is him then he has failed. So what happens when he bumps into his mate and she doesn't approve of him being of working class? 

Throw in a black, bold and beautiful African woman, a ton of family secrets and a supernatural war, then your recipe for disaster is good to go.

The Vampire's Chosen Mate

It had taken us another two full days of driving to get to the Lunar pack. Yes, we used human transportation for the rest of the trip. If we were to use our speed we would most certainly gotten there much faster. But it drains us of energy moving that fast. And since we were no longer amongst humans, our favourite source of food, we chose to save our energy. Besides we were not in a rush. Whilst driving, Damien and I hadn't exchanged any words. He seemed to be lost in his own thoughts, as I was lost in my own. The silence was normal for us though. I had expected Damien to ask me questions regarding meeting my mate but he never asked. His reaction left me conflicted as I wasn’t sure why he didn’t ask. Was he doing this out of compassion or did he just not care at all? Damien was hard to read, unlike me. He never showed any emotions on his stoic face.
