"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

After mom's truth spilling, we all went our separate ways. Dimitri was the first to vanish. It was like he couldn’t stand to be here for another second. I am very worried about him. Lately, he has always been buried in his thoughts. He hardly ever spend time with any of us. I knew he was mad at Damien and I, but he could spend time with mum at least. 


Damien on the other hand was avoiding me like the plague. As soon as Dimitri left, he too vanished to lord knows where. So, I was stuck with myself. And I hated being by myself. I needed to speak my thoughts out loud. That was how I processed. Thus, I needed one of them so badly right now and they both just left me alone which hurt a lot. This is why I needed a sister.
