Bedding My Vampire Mate

Because she hardly leaves the palace doesn't mean that her knowledge is restricted to what is happening in the palace alone.

"Did I say, stupid girl?" Tiffany muttered and played with the tip of her ebony hair.

"As you can see it's just us and I have said that you can speak without any restrictions if it's just us," Queen Mother Theresa said to make the girl feel relaxed again.

Only when they were both relaxed can she execute her plans perfectly.

[I can see why Tiff is always fearless despite how strict Grandpa is with us. The Queen Mother spoils her too much]

Logan took a sip from the glass of blood dangling in between his fingers. He acted like he wasn't present there.

"I meant Joanna Anderson," Tiffany said meekly.

"Your Highness, please help me talk to my Grandpa so that he uplifts his punishment. Grandpa always listens to what you say. Please help me," Tiffany pleaded and reached out her hand to touch the Queen Mother's hands laid on the table.

She slowly retracted her hand when her eyes met Tracy's piercing glares.

If only her Grandpa didn't pay deaf ears to hers and her father's pleas then she wouldn't have had to beg the Queen Mother.

"I will see what I can do about it so don't worry too much," Queen Mother Theresa forced a smile.

As they talk Logan and Tiffany didn't notice Queen Mother and her most trusted aide exchanging secret glances.

They spent fifteen minutes at the dining before they moved to the Queen Mother's visitor's lounge.

After staying in the palace for two hours Tiffany informed the Queen Mother about her desire to leave.

"I would really love to stay some more but I am afraid Grandpa will be upset if he discovers that I left the house," Tiffany said as she tried to stand up from the couch she sat on.

"If you did love to stay some more then do just that. Also, I have already had someone inform your Grandpa that two of you are here so you don't have to worry," Queen Mother Theresa said meekly.

Her excuse to make the two kids stay for a long time worked.

[Let's see whether your cunning grandfather won't show up after he learns that his precious grandchildren are held hostages in the palace]

Queen Mother Theresa grinned and took a sip from the golden cup in her hands.

As all this scheming was going on, at Amos' apartment Anthony was seen laughing while playing with the toys Amos bought for him.

While he plays Joanna was busy going through her school's forum to get the latest campus news.

"I can't wait for Drey to return tomorrow," She beamed as she dropped her phone on the bed.

Although she didn't say it Joanna waited the entire day for Amos to come back. Her hopes began to falter when night draws nigh and she didn't receive a text message or phone call from him.

"Is he so busy that he can't send a single text or call me even once?" She mumbled as she stared at her phone's screen for the 100th time that day.

Anthony turned and stared at his sister who has been speaking to herself for a while now like someone not in her right sense of mind.

"If you miss him then you can call him," Anthony suggested innocently. He was afraid she would go completely insane if something wasn't done about her condition.

"What do you know about missing someone huh?" Joanna snapped. She unintentionally transferred her aggression onto her little brother.

"He is the one who should call after leaving like that so why should I call him?" Joanna mumbled frowning.

For fear that she might lose her temper again Anthony didn't utter a word. He continued playing with his toys and acted like he wasn't present there.

Night finally reached and Logan and Tiffany were still at the palace. All their attempts to leave failed since the Queen Mother was always one step ahead of them.

Mr Martinez was preparing to welcome a visitor when Sniper entered the room.

"Is Tiffany still with Her Highness in the palace?" He asked nonchalantly as he extended his hand to drop his reading glasses on the centre table.

"Yes, she called to inform the mansion that she and Young Master Logan were still with the Queen Mother," Sniper replied.

"Did you just say Logan is with her?" Mr Martinez quavered. His eyes bulged out of their sockets as he waited for Sniper's confirmation.

"Yes…,"

"If he was with her then how come nobody told me about it?" Mr Martinez yelled and jumped to his feet.

His reaction left Sniper confused. He recalled telling him about his grandchildren's invitation to the palace and that is why he couldn't understand why he was furious.

Was there something about the Queen Mother's invitation that he wasn't aware of?

"I did and you told me she could stay over there as long as she wanted…,"

"That is because I believed Tiffany was the only one she invited," Mr Martinez snapped. "I didn't know that she had the guts to take my grandson along".

The once relaxed man paced about the sitting room.

"Now I understand where her aide's haughtiness came from when she relayed the Queen Mother's invitation to me," Mr Martinez muttered with his fist clasped.

He halted and peered at Sniper.

"Get ready to leave for the palace immediately," He ordered and stomped upstairs.

After Mr Martinez left to get changed into his official outfit, Sniper too exited the sitting room to get the car ready for their journey.

Back at Amos' home, they had finished dressing up and were ready to leave when Anthony brought up the previous argument they had concluded.

"Big Sis, can't I stay for one more night?" Anthony asked as he ran to the couch and sat down. "I don't want to leave…,"

"I thought we have already talked about this so why are you still bringing this up? Do you want to further upset me with your tantrums?" Joanna, who wasn't in her best mood, questioned fiercely.
