Your guard dog boyfriend

Alex took her trembling hand and slipped the rare red diamond ring on her finger. He rose to his full high ,embracing her gently and softly kissed her sweet lips. As they stood in the middle of the dance floor of the most exclusive restaurant in Evanston.

Jackson stood up letting out a shrill whistle while clapping his hands together encouraging everyone in the room to applaud along with him.

Champagne was wheeled out on a big cart for everyone in the room to toast the newly engaged couple . The Queen mother stood dumbfounded, her mouth gaping open like a fish out of water as she glared at the couple standing in the middle of the room.

Jackson raised his glass high in the air and announced loud and clear. "To my brother King Alexander and our future Queen . I wish you eternal happiness and a long life together." Everyone in the room held their glasses in the air and toasted the Royal Couple.

The Queen mother turned her poisonous glare to her younger son , thinking to herself she was going to kill both these little bastards .

After the chatter in the room dyed down . Alex and Lexi walked back to the table through the crowd of people who were congratulating them and praising the new future Queen with huge smiling faces.

Alex took his seat leaning back as if he was sitting on his throne . The Queen mother glared at him and with a demanding tone to her voice spouting out in anger at her oldest son." what the hell just happened here?"

"I just ask Lexi to marry me, were you not paying attention." He nonchalantly answered his mother as he picked up his glass and took another drink.

The Queen mother iterated by her sons nonchalant attitude lashes out sounding like a scorned lover "And just how long has this been going on?"

"We first met two years ago." He replied unscathed by his mother's harsh tone.

"This conversation isn't over Alexander, I will be coming to Eddington castle tomorrow ."she spat out in anger, gritting her teeth together to stop herself from saying anything she would regret later.

"That sounds lovely mother, we can have dinner together." Alex replied with a grin.

Lexi had been silently sipping her champagne. Watching the Queen mother lash out at Alex . She wondered why his mother wasn't happy. Was it because she didn't know about them or was it because she didn't like her. She was nervous so she kept quiet and sipped her champagne occasionally glancing around at the beautiful interior of the restaurant.

Jackson was a dutiful brother-in-law and kept her glass full . He also sit quietly but was disappointed . He came to dinner with them hoping for a damm good show .One with lots of drama, maybe even a murder mystery. But now like a Saturday night sitcom the show is to be continued .

With a sigh of disappointment

he leaned back in his chair sipping his champagne, he was getting a little bored now seeing his mother wasn't going to fight with Alex. He was just hoping the waiter would bring the food so he could eat and blow this popsicles stand .Maybe he could find a little action in the local night club. Yep that's what he would do run down to his favorite club and pick up a couple of ladies for a bit of action for tonight. With another heavy sigh he learned back in his chair and waited for his food to arrive.

Lexi too was hoping the waiter would bring their food. Her eyes wondering around the restaurant trying to focus on something else besides the Queen mother's reaction to Alex's proposal . She caught sight of a clock on the wall it was all ready 7:30 remembering Karmen was going to text her at 7:00 . She grabbed her evening bag and excused her self to the ladies room, so she could text Karmen .

Feeling a bit light headed, she held on to the table when she stood up to stabilize her self for a moment. Gladly no one noticed and she quickly composed herself before walking to the ladies room.

As she strolled through the restaurant all eyes were on her, the human Princess their King had just proposed to .Unbothered by the stares and whispers , because she was a Princess ,all her life when she entered a room people gawked fascinated by her presence. It was just something she had become accustomed to. She went inside the ladies room and set down on a small stool in front of a mirror. Taking her phone out of her evening bag to check her messages. She had three unread messages , all from Karmen . She quickly opened them ,to read the messages .

[ karmen] Daddy said I could come 😎

[karmen] Is this weekend fine?

[ Karmen] Do you need me to bring you anything?

She quickly texted her back.Excited she was going to see her best friend this weekend.

[Lexi] yes, this weekend is great I will call you tomorrow. I have a lot to tell you . Love you bunches 🥰

Slipping her phone back into the small purse she hastily walked out of the ladies room. As she walked down the narrow passage way leading to the dining area ,she encountered a tall lanky well dressed man with red eyes . He was right in front of her blocking the hallway . When she tried stepping to the side ,he grabbed her arm and yanked her towards him , his eyes were red and he bored his fangs .

He pushed her back against the wall ,a shiver ran through her whole body, and head felt dizzy. She panicked blurting out in fear for her life"Do you know who I am,? Let me go if you want to live."

His voice came out gruff and cold as he answered her, " yes, I know who you are bitch and I don't see your guard dog boyfriend any where around,so prepare to die ." He grabbed her hair pulling her head back exposing her long slender neck .

Frightened and historical a deafening screen flew from her mouth echoing through the restaurant. She could feel his hot breath on her neck and felt a gush of wind like a hurricane blowing down the hallway she looked up and seen Alex standing behind the vampire. His eyes blazing a vibrant shade of blue like the hottest flames of hell as his hand shot forward ripping the vampires head off in one swift move.

In the next moment blood splattered in Lexi's face as it spewed from the strangers headless neck. Her eyes became blurry and her head started spinning as she slid down the wall in a limp heap before everything went completely dark.

Alex rushed forward catching her in his arms before her head hit the floor .He took his hand and wiped the blood from her neck looking for puncture wounds from the vampires fangs as he cradled her in his arms and waiting for Jackson to appear in front of him.

When Jackson seen Alex bolt from the table he sprinted across the dance floor in the direction of the ladies room behind Alex . By the time he arrived at the scene there was a dead vampires body laying on the floor in a pool of blood next to Lexi and Alex.

Alex had gathered her in his arms holding her body against his chest , he glanced up at Jackson shouting out orders .

" Have Ray lock this place down , check the guest list for tonight and see who this bastard came here with. Take him to the morgue have Jordan run his prints and DNA through the database to see if he can get a match.
