Daphne, Where are You?

There was no reaction after minutes of the potion touching the vampire king. His body remained lying stiff with eyelashes that did not flutter.

He was lost in the power of his illusion. He came to his mate's mind in his best form. He had not been able to do much because of his power. Slowly, he would tell Luna to leave the man who stole someone else's mate.

Lexus and Daphne looked at each other. Then, their shoulders relaxed. Daphne looked down sluggishly. Lexus sighed.

"Does it take anything else to wake up a vampire king?" Daphne whispered. She glanced at the broken window. It was almost too long for her to be there.

Lexus looked at her. "The most powerful thing to awaken someone is their mate," he said.

"Did the vampire king have a mate before?"

"Not yet."

"Not yet?" Daphne was dumbfounded. This meant that since the world had been ruled by vampires, the powerful king had always been alone. "Then we must find his mate!"
