"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

The first thing I noticed as we neared the pack house, was the smell of vampires. Which was rather odd. Vampires and werewolves avoided each other like the plague. So, why were there vampires here? I looked to Damien and he too seemed to tense up. Now I was fine with taking on wolves, but vampires with wolves was another story. We were already outnumbered by far. The vampire traits were our best bet and now they had that too! It was a losing battle. Also, if the Alpha had vampires it meant trouble for us. We had been looking for allies out of the kingdom, because we were hoping word hadn't gone out to the other lands yet. But clearly we were wrong.
