99: Master and the Minion

"What do you think you're doing here!" Kai hissed when he shoved the vampiress up against the wall in this quiet hallway, which hardly anybody used.

"I'm sorry, Master." She whimpered while the two men she came with stood behind Kai, not interfering. "I had to see you and make sure you had returned."

Kai growled, revealing his fangs. He yanked the back of her hair so violently that her nose pointed to the ceiling.

"Don't you dare lie to me!" He growled nastily. "You were here to see, Victoria!"

"I wanted to see if it was true," She confessed in this labored tone. "T-That you h-have found your m-mate!"

"I oughta drink you bone dry and throw your shriveled body with your brother for defining me like this!" Kai loudly hissed before he let her head go roughly.

She wheezed for a second and rubbed her sore neck muscles from his hold. "I'm sorry, Master... Please forgive me."

"Save it!" Kai snapped. "Why are you here?".

"To warn you, Master," she whimpered. "Master must kill his mate because she's in the prophecy—" Kai quickly snatched her throat, starting to squeeze. "M-Master, y-you know... the Vampire Covenant will do it for you!"

Upon hearing her stifled voice, Kai released her as his eyes bled red. "I will not allow it!"

"But Master—"

Kai hissed, cutting the enslaved Vampiress off. "My family is part of the Vampire Covenant! Not me nor them will allow that to happen!"

But the enslaved Vampiress implored otherwise. "But Master, you could start a war between Covens. All to take your mate that is why the Vampire Covenant swore an oath to kill any female human that is written in the prophecy to keep the peace amongst our Kind. Victoria's gifts will be stronger and more unpredictable. What if the human race gets wiped out from her existence?"

"As if I care about humans!" Kai growls viciously. "Unlike me, Victoria is the sweetest flower on this planet."

"But Master, you're still under your father's clan, not your own. You don't have enough vampires and vampiresses. You need five more babies born from your clan." She tried reasoning.

But Kai snickered at her worried face before he cunningly grinned. "Correction, Darlene, I only need three."

"How is that so?" Darlene asked, puzzled.

Kai clarified, "Rose is pregnant and Jack admitted that he got a woman pregnant while I was sleeping. The young vampire has only turned eighteen. He has been raised by his human mother and her husband. His instincts will kick in and he won't be able to fight his thirst. It won't be long before he seeks out Jack, his father. Soon he'll be joining my Clan. Then if all falls into plan on my part, Victoria will be pregnant. Once my first offspring nears one. I will get her pregnant again until I get my last three. Then I'll be joining the Vampire Covenant."

"What if it doesn't work?" Darlene feared. "What if Victoria gets killed? Perhaps, Master should wake my brother for his help?"

Kai hissed angrily and slammed her back into the wall. The vampiress was scared of him though her heart pined from loving Kai.

Kai's killer looks made it easy for any woman or vampiress to fall for that angelic appearance. However, his dark icy demeanor didn't match that angelic appeal. Kai was quite brutal and he felt nothing for this vampiress he had enslaved to solely serve him.

Since he and his family defeated their entire Coven. Only a handful like Darlene and the two vampires she came with. Weren't detained by drinking them dry. Instead, they were enslaved to serve one of Kai's family.

Kai picked Darlene, her brother, the vampires behind him, and a few others to serve him as nothing more than his minions. There was nothing but business between them. Although Darlene wished for a relationship. Despite her beauty, Kai wasn't attracted to her. Victoria will forever be his only attraction, and Darlene knew that.

"Why?" he gritted his fangs. "So he can betray me again?"

"No, master!" She appealed. "So he can help you protect Victoria."

Kai growled loudly before his fangs sunk into her neck. Her fangs draw out from the pain as her left arm's smooth skin shriveled and dried out into this brown mummified corpse. Within seconds, Kai drinks the blood out of her left arm, hand, and shoulder.

Then he released, hissing. "That is for your disobedience! Now you best not disturb me on my honeymoon!"

Kai then vanished right after he spoke. Darlene held her mummified arm in pain. She was weak and needed blood. The one vampire offered that for her. So she bit his neck, taking just enough to sustain her.

Kai went back to the restaurant. His eyes narrowed to find his wife talking with another human man at the bar. This certainly made him furious and jealous.

As he was about to approach, Tracy came to him from between the crowds.

"If you're not too busy tonight, perhaps you can stop by my room," she offered, handing him a small piece of paper.

Kai grinned while taking the note. He unfolds it to read her number.

"Whenever my wife falls asleep, I'll be there," Kai said with a sexier essence. "It will be late."

"I'm always up late," Tracy flirted before walking off, she winked at him.

Before Kai had a chance to haul over to Victoria. And likely make an unforgivable scene with that man chattering to his wife. A firm hand grabbed his upper right shoulder. Kai turned his head and saw Jack standing there.

"Play it smooth Kai," Jack calmly advised. "Just go up to the bar and apologize to your wife so you can continue your dinner peacefully."

"I'd rather rip his throat out!" Kai hissed softly as others cluelessly bypassed them.

"If you make a scene and act like you're a control freak, Victoria will withdraw from you." To his left, Rome warned when he walked up from out of nowhere.

Kai huffed angrily since his high ego rather kill the man flirting with his wife.

"Will see about that," Kai narrowly glared at this man and then he asked to change the topic. "What type of vitamins did you give my wife?"

Jack chuckled. "She wanted the morning-after pill which would stop her from conceiving a baby." Kai whipped his neck in Jack's direction, glaring maliciously at him. "Don't worry, she only thinks she's taking it."

"Then what did you give her?" Kai asked.

"Fertility pills that will increase her chance to conceive," replies Jack, having a grin. "Now go to her and be romantic. Then tonight, make love with her."

Kai turned away huffing. Then he stepped out of Jack's strong grasp and started heading toward Victoria. Rome and Jack prayed Kai would act civilly about it, especially once they saw what was going on in not
