Rejected By My Mate, Chosen By Fate – Chapter 75

Kayden’s POV

I almost couldn’t believe it. It seems providence had finally smiled on me because who I was searching for was right in front of me the whole time. She had come to me, to save me. Now that I think about it, it makes absolute sense. Lucia, the Vampire King’s mate, was said to be a vampire hunter by Voithós and this woman is certainly a vampire hunter. I almost can’t believe that the one I’m looking for is right in front of me.

“You’re Lucia Fitzherbert?” I questioned, just to be sure. “ Yes, you sound a little shocked. Do you know me by any chance?” She questioned with a suspicious gaze and I instantly had the urge to facepalm myself. I should really be careful with the things I say while I’m here.

the justice that the people of Luceras deserve. The tyrant declared himself King, he took our kingdom as a mere conquest, simply as a way of expanding Vampire territory. Our kingdom is the biggest in this region so it was no simple attack. It was a well planned strategy and we all fell for it. After becoming king, he began killing the nobles one by one just because they refused to surrender to him.

my parents, they set our house on fire and burned their bodies right in front of me. I was young and feeble, I couldn’t take it, I cried so much that I fainted and when I finally woke up, one of them suggested killing me but he refused and decided that I would be made to pay for my parent’s sins by being a slave all my life because his twisted mind reasoned that killing me would be too little a punishment and it wouldn’t be beneficial to them.

ere able to save a few of our kind and thus, our numbers increased. What worries me most is the fact that our numbers in Luceras are dwindling. The vampires are killing humans like birds and if this continues, we’re more likely to go extinct since they don’t allow humans to mate with each other much, they’re afraid our numbers will increase and so will our power. At this point, I’m not even considering taking Luceras back from the vampires, it’s clearly impossible. I only wish they would set us free and let us live in peace, the way we used to.” She said and sighed before wiping her tears and only then did I notice that she had been crying. I truly feel sorry for the humans. It would be hard to imagine all that they’ve been through. According to Evelyn, love is all that’s required to solve most problems and I believe that would be the only solution to this problem unless werewolves go on an all out war with vampires and I honestly doubt that that would solve anything, only complicate the issues further. Well, there won’t be a need for any war once we somehow get Cassius and Lucia to fall in love with each other but honestly speaking, it’s so much easier said than done. Especially due to the fact that Cassius seems to be directly responsible for the death of Lucia’s parents. Only Selene or rather, Lilith knows how to make it happen but I do believe that wherever there’s a will, there’s always a way.
