Ty so much for all of your reviews. So I am going to do something a little different now. I am going to be writing the first part of this in De Castro's POV. The next chapter will go back to EPOV. I couldn't help it the scene just kept playing out in my head and I had to write it lmao.

Previously:

"Felipe De Castro." And with that every one of the Vampires in attendance growled. Well I guess it isn't a good day to be De Castro.

Chapter 20: Man in the shadows

DPOV:

After all my time and effort she still did not kill him.

"Damn it!" I scream to no one. It is mine! I was supposed to be king lo Louisiana. Vampires flock there more tourist money. Who better to take on that state than i? Certainly not the fucking Viking, The only reason I started negotiations with that little bitch Sophie Ann was to get her state I swear after we were married she wouldn't have lived to rise another night. He promised me all my efforts would not be in vain. Now Ruben isn't answering his phone and the AP asked some regents to stay behind on request of the Fairy Queen. Queen my ass! I can't wait to see her bow to him like I have had to all these years. If I would have known the shit I would have had to go through for one simple fucking favor I would have never asked him for his assistance.

"Mother Fucker!" I throw my throne across the room. I smell him before he ever speaks.

"What has you so upset tonight my pet?" he slithers out. He has got to be kidding me.

"What has upset me you ask? Well let's see shall we? I have not the crown I was promised. She did not kill the Viking and he did not kill her. So this wonderful little plan of your isn't so wonderful is it?" His hand encloses around my throat before I can even move. I was so stupid to think his fucking plan would work. Good thing he doesn't know Ruben is missing he would kill me on the spot.

"You forget your place De Castro! Shall I remind you why you are in service to me? I could let her out you know. Just for a night or two." The horror and fear I feel must register on my face because he starts to laugh. He can't release her! God's I would never live through it. I have only one option and it makes me sick just thinking about it. I have to beg. And hold off on the sneer as I do great just fucking great I am a vampire this shit isn't supposed to happen to me!

"Blessed Lord, Master please forgive my outburst I have yet to feed this night and I find myself aggravated. Please I must again as for your forgiveness." Look what has become of me! Sniveling at his feet!

"Very good, see you remember this next time. Should you choose to step out of line again I will release her make no mistake that the master here is me" I nod and he lets go, walks over to my throne picks it up puts it right and sits in it. My throne! No this disrespect will not continue. I will find a way to kill him I have to. If anyone else in my kingdom found out about him I would die for treason against the vampire race. But I have to find a way to kill him without her being released or killed. If I hadn't tried to have him killed the Viking is who I would have gone to with this matter. But now I don't who to go to. He is so powerful! Fuck!

"So tell me everything." He hisses out. So I tell him everything minus Rubens disappearance.

"So the Viking managed to stave off death for the moment. She has no proof it was anyone but the Viking. The doubt will eat away at her like it does all women. She will kill him when she has had enough. He will do something to try to command her then he will be as the humans say toast. You just have to remain patient De Castro. You are a vampire you have forever. You of all people should know how fickle women can be, just give it a little more time. Everything will work out my pet." He gets up and walks toward me. No, No not tonight. God's hear my plea please no more. He runs his fingers down my jaw and I am having a hard time fighting the gag reflex. He must notice because he does not look amused.

"Does my touch still affect you so? Perhaps I have spent too much time away. You remember what it was like before you became king? Perhaps we should go back to that time and relive it for just a little while?" he licks the side of my face with his nasty tongue I can smell his breath and feel it on my ear as he whispers to me.

"I find that I require your other services tonight my pet." I call to my child through our bond god's please get me out of this. Just as I finish my prayer my phone rings. Thank you victor, I move to answer it and he doesn't stop me.

"Speak!" I demand in a harsh tone but my child can feel me and he knows.

"I apologize sire, I have updates on a very important matter to important to discuss over the phone." Good boy victor, very good boy.

"Surely it can wait until we rise tomorrow?" He pauses and I can feel his confusion but I push enough of my emotions to strengthen his resolve.

"No sire it will have to be this evening. I apologize again but this cannot wait." I roll my eyes but inside I feel relief wash over me.

"Alright victor I will be down in a moment I just need to grab my keys." Translation: If I do not come down soon come up and bring guards with you. If anyone sees him here his plan will be ruined he wouldn't risk it. I smile to myself. I close my phone and look over to my 'guest'

"I am sorry my lord urgent business I must attend to if your plans are to become reality." He slithers over to me. Grabbing my dick he says.

"Remember what I said. No harm is to come to the fae. She is mine and I will not have your people's filthy hands all over her. I will be the only one to bring her pain. Do you understand?" he squeezes so hard if it weren't him this would really turn me on. But it is him so I am nauseous. I bow my head in deference when all I want to do is slit his fucking throat.

"Yes master, it will be done to your specifications." I could care less. I exit my throne room and leave him standing by my desk. As I get close enough Victor smells him on me and hisses.

"He laid his hands on you?" His rage matches my own.

"Yes but just his hands and his vile tongue." he grabs me roughly and pulls me into a closet and slams me up against the wall, then closes the door. I try to soothe him; he acts like I wanted his nasty hands anywhere near me. But before I can say anything he strikes with a speed that is shocking to me. He fists my hair in his hands and roughly yanks my head to the side. I almost as he ripped into my throat. After he has had his fill he kisses me softly and opens the door.

"Meet me in the room in a half an hour, Rachel will be joining us this evening so you'll have something to play with to." I follow him out smiling. Ah Rachel, thing are going to get bloody tonight.
