The vampire kings slave

Chapter three

Spencer’s POV: 

I stared at the ceiling, lost in my thoughts for the rest of the night. Why the hell was I so attracted to her?! I thought about the way she had reacted to my touch, how she stared at me submissively, waiting for me to make my next move. I can’t be attracted to a simple human! It’s not right! I am a vampire king! I could kill her in an instant! I groaned as thoughts of her entered my mind once more, it was no lie that she had an effect on me, but I must fight it! I can’t start having feelings for her, especially when I barely know her!

Chloe’s POV: 

I woke up with a start. Someone had entered the room and were staring at me. I looked at her properly and noticed how pretty she was. She had emerald-green eyes and fiery red hair that caught my attention. She looked at me, taking in my appearance before talking. “So your the girl my brother agreed to take in exchange for the kingdom to be left alone?” She said, giving me a funny look. Before I could respond she spoke again “I doubt you know anything about the family or the clan, so I will leave that to my brother to tell you. I am just here to deliver some clothes to you, and to tell you what you will be doing around here” she explained, and handed me some clothes that were folded neatly. “Thank you” I replied quickly, taking the clothes from her. “You have an hour to get dressed, one of the boys will bring you breakfast, then take you down to the kitchen where you will be handed over to the head maid. She will be in charge of giving you jobs, such as cooking or cleaning. My brother says you will become one of our servants, if you are good, he will promote you” she finished, looking at me to see if I understood. When she was certain I had listened to what she said, she left the room, leaving me alone.

I quickly got dressed in the clothes she had given me. I winced when I looked at myself in the mirror. These clothes were far too revealing! Either that or they were too small. Once I was dressed, there was a knock on the door and one of the men who I remember from last night entered the room with a plate of food. “Eat this quickly, and I will take you to the kitchen” he explained, looking me up and down. I felt shy as his eyes devoured every inch of skin that was exposed, unsure what to do, I took the food and quickly ate it. Without a word, he led me to the kitchen. 

He explained to the woman waiting who I was and then left, but I still felt his eyes on me. “Don’t just stand there, come with me, I have a job that’s perfect for you” she smiled and began walking. I quickly followed.

After I had finished all my duties for the day, I wandered the gardens, finally alone to my thoughts, I took in how much had happened to me in a matter of hours. My family had willingly let me be taken by some infamous clan, their leader seemed to have an impact on me that made my body fill with list whenever he was around, I am now a maid at a castle I’ve never even heard of, and it’s been less than 24 hours since I was told I was to be married off to someone to prevent this very clan from killing both families. Suddenly, a dark figure caught my attention. I watched as it began to sulk off towards something. Curiosity filled my whole body and I found myself following. I followed the figure out of the castle grounds and into the woods, where from a distance I watched the figure join a whole group of tall, handsome men. “Your highness, how has the new girl settled in?” One of the men asked “I haven’t spoken to her or seen her since last night, but from what I have heard, she is doing well, performing all her duties without complaining” the figure replied, and I suddenly recognised the voice. It was the man from last night! Not only is he a clan leader, but he’s also the king! “Do you even know her name yet Spencer?” Another asked, making the king look at him slowly “no actually, I don’t, I haven’t even asked her yet, but I’m too busy to be associating myself with the help!” He replied dismissively, making me suddenly feel crushed. That’s all I am to him now? The help. From his actions last night, it seemed as if he wanted there to be something between us. I sighed and began to head back to the castle, when I suddenly bumped into someone and fell down. “Hey! Are you alright?” He asked helping me to my feet. I looked up and saw a tall, handsome man looking down at me, he was looking at ME, not at my outfit. I suddenly felt ashamed of what I was wearing, and bowed my head apologetically. “It’s alright, I won’t hurt you” he joked, making me laugh “I’m sorry, it’s just I feel ashamed wearing this outfit” I admitted. He paused, noticing how skimpy and revealing it was “I’m guessing miss Holly gave that to you? She’s the kings sister” he said looking at me “yes, I haven’t spoken to the king since last night, when I was brought here” I replied sitting down on a bench near to where I had fallen. “Give him some time, he is a very busy man” the man explained carefully “what’s your name by the way? I’m Spencer’s best friend, Kye” he beamed at me, and held out his hand “Chloe” I smiled back, taking his hand and shaking it. We spoke more, getting to know each other, then he noticed the sun was setting “oh s**t, I’m sorry, I have to go, I need to meet some of the guys” He explained and ran off, leaving me alone. 

I sighed and began to make my way back to the castle. ‘At least some people here are nice to me’ I thought to myself as I made my way back.

Spencer’s POV: 

I grew angry as we waited for Kye to show up. He was late! Everyone knew how much I hated them being late. He suddenly appeared, an apologetic look on his face. “Where have you been? We’ve been waiting around for you!” Taylor asked “I’m sorry, I was talking to Chloe, Er- I mean the princess” he explained, not daring to meet my gaze. I sighed impatiently. “Let’s go, we will discuss this later, right now we need to hunt” I said impatiently. What was he doing with her?! And why did I care so much! The thoughts of him alone with her infuriated me, but I became angrier at the fact I cared this much!
