Enslaved By The Ruthless Vampire Lord: Her Second Chance Mate

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

“And who the hell are you?” Esme rolled her eyes as Zara approached them.

“Zara. I’m Zara..” Zara replied, flashing a smile at Esme as she turned to face Naya.

She was looking for her and decided to check the side of the palace, then she only came to witness some shenanigans.

Esme’s face immediately scrunched up in a scowl at the mention of Zara’s name. She clearly didn’t like her, and Naya could sense the tension between them. It was clear that Esme saw Zara as a threat, and was not happy to see her here.

“What are you doing here?” Esme demanded.

“Naya, how do you cope working with someone like her?” Zara asked as she shook her head, looking at Esme sarcastically.

“Now look…” she began in a stern voice as she grabbed Esme by her elbow forcefully.

“The next time I catch you saying anything bad to my sister, I’ll kill you…” Zara threatened as her eyes flashed with anger.

“The next time I catch you saying anything…blah…blah…blah..” Esme mimicked as she pulled herself away from Zara’s hold.

Naya watched the two women go back and forth, her heart sinking. She didn’t want to see her sister fighting like this, and she could feel the tension in the air. Esme and Zara were like oil and water, and it seemed like they would never be able to get along.

Esme was trouble, Zara was trouble.

“What did you say again? That you were going to kill me..” she pointed out as she laughed in sarcasm.

“I can see that you’re growing wings. Obviously, you join your pathetic sister in fucking the lords, and that’s what’s making you so bold…” she accused as Zara huffed.

“Now look, Naya’s sister. I’ll kill you instead. I guess you’re forgetting that I’m a vampire…”

“A what?” Zara blinked her eyes innocently pretending as if she did not hear what Esme just said.

“Oh oh, you said a vampire right?”

“A low-ranked vampire, the last time I checked you’re not allowed to feed on humans but animal blood instead..” Zara voiced out meaningfully.

She had been bonding with Genevieve quite well and she told her a lot of things about vampires.

The maids only drank animal blood as human food was their other supplement.

While the guards only drank from humans once a week and that was just to make them stronger as the more they drank from humans the more powerful they became.

The only vampires that drank from humans however they liked were Rhys, Vlad, and Draven.

The elites still fed on animal blood.

“And you should get ashamed of yourself. My sister who just came here a month ago has been able to accomplish what you weren’t able to do for decades and that Is to get one of the lords to look at you. In my point of view, you’re a shame!” Zara fired at her with a stern look on her face.

You…” Esme was about to charge at Zara when she spoke yet again.

“No need to get worked up darling. But you should work on staying away from my sister. Or I’ll kill you…” Zara added in a cold voice.

“You’re a shame..” she added again, taking Naya’s hand.

“Let’s get out of here Naya..” she mouthed, taking Naya away.

…..

“Where the hell have you been?” Zara requested the moment they got into their room.

She woke up earlier and couldn’t find her, she even went to the kitchen thinking she had gone there early but she learned from Keira that Naya hadn’t come to the kitchen.

Then she resorted to finding her.

Naya’s heart raced when she heard Zara’s question. She was gone for a long time, and she had a feeling that Zara was worried about her.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Well .. I…” Naya began stuttering wondering if it was right to tell Zara the truth.

She did not hide things from her, but she felt it was too sudden to tell her about Kai.

“I went for an early morning jog…” she lied instead as she sat on the bed.

“When did you start going for morning joggings Naya? You hate exercises ” Zara pointed out, giving Naya a questioning gaze.

“Well, I … I kind of overworked myself the day before and needed to loosen up..” she stated as Zara shook her head slowly.

“I see. I had no idea maids were allowed to do that here..” she muttered as she quickly shook up that look as she immediately wore an interesting look on her face.

“Guess what Naya..” she began gingerly as she sat beside Naya.

“What?”

“Just guess…”

“You know I’m bad at that. So go straight to the point…” Naya said as Zara took a deep breath.

“So you won’t believe who I saw today..” Zara began, her cheeks turning red.

“Who did you see?” Naya grilled with an interested look on her face.

“I saw lord Rhys!!” Zara announced as she squealed happily in joy.

“Lord Rhys?” Naya looked equally surprised as well.

“Yes Lord Rhys…” Zara confirmed.

“Where did you meet him?” Naya questioned curiously.

“When I was going to find you, I decided to stop by the training center. Oh my gosh…you need to see him Naya…” Zara fawned daydreaming.

“He’s so fucking handsome, I mean, look at him screaming perfection.. damn…” Zara bit her lips. She always admired Vlad a lot but another had been added to her list.

Now she wanted both good-looking men.

“And what?”

“Come on Naya, stop acting dumb. Of course, I was super shy. I just passed on a greeting and left before I would pass out in his presence…” Zara informed Naya. It seemed they both were talking about something very important.

“He’s a good-looking man, Naya..” Zara confessed.

“I seriously want him and Vlad..” she added. She only admired him at first and knew he was Rhys when Vlad called him by the name.

He had a serious and Savage look on his face that even made her fall deeper and deeper for him.

“Oh Zara,” Naya said, shaking her head.

“You’re getting yourself into dangerous territory. Rhys is not someone you want to mess with. He’s cold and ruthless, and he won’t hesitate to hurt you and you’re human. What if he begins to feed on you?” Naya says meaningfully. The rumors she heard about him were not good at all.

Zara gave Naya a stubborn look, her face set in defiance. “I know what I’m doing,” she said, crossing her arms. “You don’t have to worry about me. I can take care of myself.”

“I want him..” she added in a curt and determined tone.

“Wow, it seems like he’s really handsome judging how down-to-earth you are for him. But you need to meet Kai..” Naya deadpanned that Kai was the most handsome man.

Her face flushed at the mention of Kai, and the things he did to her. She wanted to meet him but she found it quite strange that she did not meet him when she woke up.

Her guess was that he had something important to do.

“I don’t care about you and the guard. Naya. But you literally need to see lord Rhys. Oh my gosh…so perfect and hot…” Zara giggled as Naya waved her off.

Naya rolled her eyes at Zara’s gushing over Rhys.

She couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed by Zara’s shallow infatuation with someone she just met all because of his looks.

“Then you should meet Kai..”

“I didn’t know when guards started being handsome Naya…” Zara rolled her eyes.

Naya let out a laugh, shaking her head.

“You’re ridiculous. Kai isn’t just any guard, you know. He’s the Lord’s right-hand man and one of the most respected people in the castle. He’s much more than just a pretty face.”

“But he’s not as handsome as Rhys.”

Naya sighed, giving up. It was clear that Zara wasn’t going to see reason when it came to her crush on Rhys.

“Wait till you meet Kai..”

“Wait till you meet the Lord as well..”

“Can we please change the subject?” Naya said, exasperated. “I don’t want to hear about your crush on the lord.”

“Fine,” Zara said with a pout. “But you’ll definitely admit he is handsome when you meet him..”

“You wish..” Naya smiled standing up from the bed as she had to return to duty.

“See you later. Mrs Rhys..” she teased running out of the door.
