The Vampire Queen's Pet

Storming the Palace.

The Vampire Queen's Pet.

Chapter 21

Jax's point of view.

After we eat dinner with the teams, Ysabella and I head into her bedroom, where we spend the evening locked in each other's arms as we watch a couple of films. She is still pretty pissed at me, but I think she understands my reasoning. I need my focus 100% on King Areon with no distractions, and Ysabella is a massive distraction in the best possible way, of course. I can't take any risks with her safety. There is no way the King is ever going to lay his hands on her again.

When the final movie finished, I slide into bed, pulling my sexy little lady alongside me. I need to get some sleep as I have an early start in the morning, forcing my mind to close off; I drift off, feeling content as I hold her tight.

I can feel the restlessness in Ysabella, though, and I know she finds this hard. I've never had anyone worry about me before, and it makes me more determined than ever to get back home safe.

I get up after a couple of hours of sleep, checking my watch. It's 3 am and time to get moving when I turn to look at Ysabella, expecting her to be asleep. She is lying awake, looking at me with tears in her eyes as I say.

"You haven't slept at all, have you, baby?'

She sighs as she replies.

" No, I couldn't."

I pull her closer as I whisper.

"Oh, baby, please don't worry. I will get King Areon and bring him back."

A tear slips down her cheek as she says.

"I'm not worried about the King Jax. I'm worried about you. Please be careful."

I kiss her lips as I reply

"I will, baby."

She holds me tight as she whispers.

"Promise me you'll come back to me, Jax."

I run my hand down her back as I reply.

"I promise you, Ysabella, I will come back to you, you promised me a future, and I intend to make you keep that promise."

We pull apart, as I say.

"I have to go now, baby; I love you so much, Ysabella."

"I love you too Jax, you've given me a reason to live again and a future to look forward to."

I pull her lips to mine, needing to taste her one last time before I head outside to meet the teams as we head out into the jeeps.

Some of the jeeps are heading towards the outskirts of the Palace, whilst the rest of us are heading to the military base where the aircraft will be waiting for us.

When I said I wanted to hit hard and fast, I meant every word of it. Today we will be storming the Palace from the skies.

When we reach the base, and we head inside to get kitted out for our parachutes before making our way to the waiting aircraft, I can't help but grin. It's been a long time since I jumped out of a plane. I laugh when I look over to Bear, he never did like flying. He's got some guts, though; he hates flying, yet he's willing to throw himself out of a plane.

It's not long before we're hurtling down the runway, preparing to take off, f**k these jets can move; within seconds were up in the clouds as we head toward King Areon's Palace.

Out of the window, I get my first look at the Palace; it's massive and as dark and intimidating as the King himself. It's kind of weird to be seeing the outside for the first time when just a couple of weeks ago, I was a prisoner inside.

I'll never forget what I witnessed that first night; how any man can treat a woman like that is beyond me, and I vowed then that I would make him pay for hurting her. Today I finally get my revenge.

As we get ready to jump, Bear hands me a bag with the silver chains before he places one over his own shoulder as though it weighs nothing at all, but believe me when I say these chains are f*****g heavy; he chuckles as my shoulder drops.

"Are you sure you're okay with these?"

I laugh as I reply.

"Yeah, light as a feather."

Bear raises his eyebrows as he says.

"Sure….are you to do this, Jax?"

I look him in the eye, the most brutal guy I know, the man who taught me everything, the same guy who's always had my back, just as he will today, although today he will be taking a backseat as the Vampire King is mine, he has a debt to repay, and I promised Ysabella I will take him down.

"So f*****g ready," I reply.

I will take him down, and Bear will be right beside me. We can't afford to take any chances as we need him alive so that we can take him to the high Witch and reverse the spell of the Vampire Curse on my beautiful woman.

We move to the doorway myself Bear and a team of twenty men as we prepare to parachute onto the Palace roof. Bear grits his teeth as we fall from the skies, and within seconds we land quietly on the Palace roof; we check our watches before removing our parachutes, as we clip the abseil rope to our harness, we double-check to make sure that we are in sync with our guys on the ground.

I look around the roof as the guys get ready to cover every top window before walking to the edge of the roof, looking down to see the window where the King is sleeping, knowing that in a matter of minutes, that monster will be mine.

The second's tick by until we swing out from the roofs, shattering the windows below the glass surrounds us as our suits

Protecting us from the deathly shards.

I hear the King let out a roar as I throw the smoke bomb inside, my goggles leaving the way clear as he stumbled around the room, unable to see a damn thing.

He's mine…...
