Chapter 16: Vampire King

"Hello, darling," Ezra said, blue eyes twinkling at me in amusement. I just bet he'd been waiting for this moment since he met me.

I gaped at him, at a complete loss for words. Ezra glanced behind me at Clarke and nodded, dismissing him.

"What the hell are you doing here, Ezra?" I finally ask as I hear the door close behind me.

"I could ask you the same thing."

"I'm here to ask the king some questions," I said, stalking closer to him. I couldn't believe he was here. It was like he picked the most inconvenient moments to show up.

"So, ask away," he said, his brow arched as he lounged in the office chair. His body was relaxed as if he was completely at home behind that desk. I wondered if he was the assistant to the king. It would explain the whole knowing him intimately thing he had said last night.

"I can't until I see the king," I said the words slowly as if trying to get him to comprehend the simple statement. He wasn't usually this slow on the uptake.
