Blood Bound: The Vampire King's Nemesis
Arabella “Ara” Clarkson is a full-blooded vampire who wants to avenge her family from the royals. She went to the palace as a maid to plan her revenge, but she didn't expect that… she'd find her mate. The person she would spend the rest of her life with. To her dismay, the person she hates the most turns out to be her mate, the vampire king. She's pretty aware that the king doesn't like her, although he knows that she is his mate, and besides the king, she is in a relationship with the daughter of the Duke of South Nethervale, his first concubine. What will happen to them? She hates him for killing her family. And yet, fate played them well. Pain, Sacrifice and betrayals. Will their destiny help them find true happiness?

"Can I ask something?" Oddly, did he ask permission to question her? Did he really do that? This is the first time he has asked permission from someone who's lower than him.
"Sure, Mr. Everett." She answered casually.
