Dear Vampire King

While scanning his emails the Demon King chose this moment to eat. He takes his time and paste some butter on two slices of toast, he place a layer of eggs, bacon and then sliced a sausage and took slices of sausages and place it on top.

Then he put tiny drops of hot sauce and covers it with another slice of toast.

He bites down then focuses his attention back on his screen intently.

He zones in on some emails about one of his car dealerships, he scans it's contents making sure it was nothing pressing.

Thankfully it was a weekly report in which he read and was well pleased.

He quickly swallows that sandwich and made another like it, before biting down on his second sandwich he took a sip of his orange juice as he looks at the rest of his emails.

Scrolling down he comes across a report on the witness program, he clicks on it. This email was confirmation of funds received for the last Invoice that was sent in. This was progress the Demon King thought as he reads.

The government has a way of dragging their feet when it comes to payment.

He scrolls down again almost consuming his second sandwich and came across an email from the Vampire King. He pauses and opens up this email right away. It reads…

'Dear Demon Alpha,

This is just a gentle reminder of our agreement and Cathia should be there any day now to finalize details once and for all. Yours Respectfully, The Vampire King.'

Upon reading this and swallowing the last of his second sandwich, he hit reply and started typing.

'Dear Vampire King,

With great pleasure I inform you that I have found my mate. A grand ball will be held in her honor and rest assured your invite is on the way.

Now I believe that I don't need to remind you of the clause we would have signed should we have gone through with this already.

But in case I do, please allow me to.

"Should either of us find our mate the contract and marriage will instantly become null and void."

Seeing that I already found my mate. There is certainly no need to continue this charade. Respectfully, Your King'

The Demon King chuckles, that awe to piss him off. He hit save as he was not ready for anyone to know he found his mate yet, not until he marks her, it was just too dangerous.

So he saved his response and purposed to hit send when the time is right.

However the Demon King was most upset with the Vampire King's constant attempts to persuade him to seal the deal with his sister.

Goddess only knows what he hopes to gain.

Reaching for his glass of juice, he takes a gulp, then proceeds to stuff the remaining items onto the last two slices of toast he has, making a third and final sandwich. Then he looks at the screen and continues scanning emails after emails.

Soon enough Dracul waltzes in with a black leather suit case in his hand and looking dashing as ever in his orange shirt with blue colored pattern and dark blue soft pants with a brown orange square tip.

The Demon King had already finished with his breakfast, pushed aside the tray, used the wet wipes and popped a mint in his mouth.

He was reminded that he lost almost an entire day yesterday with his investigation, as he thought about the witnesses and what is in Dracul's suitcase.

But thankfully even though HE was distracted.

The Demon King knew Dracul was not and so he was gratified when he learned of Dracul's findings.

Dracul had come by the Demon King's office yesterday to fill him in on his finding's, however the Demon King was having a fit so instead Dracul remained at his friend's side for moral support not mentioning anything about the witnesses.

Dracul greets his King and jumps right in, informing the Demon King about his findings. Diving into his suitcase, he pulls out five files and says.

"These are who the long list of names boils down too. These five had contact with both women at some point or the other. Plus most of them were recruited within the last year."

Then Draculs picks out two of the five that he placed on top the Demon King's desk and says "and these two were on the transport to bring them in."

The Demon King absorbs that bit of information as he sat comfortably rocked back in his chair. But he wanted to have the discussion about his Beta first before diving into this matter.

Plus he already knew what he was going to do.

He then says, in a hushed voice, "I have grown very suspicious of my Beta." The Demon King pauses to let that sink in as he observes Dracul.

Dracul inhales sharply and thought long and hard.

And truthfully, he would be lying if he said that he himself have not been suspicious of Beta Drew for a while now and he was secretly investigating him.

Dracul knew it was only a matter of time before his King act upon it. All he did was nod for the Demon King to continue.

He knows his longtime friend must have reasons for his suspicions.

"The news about the missing witnesses, Beta Drew brought the news four to five hours after it happened. Why the delay in informing me?" he pause arching a perfectly carved eyebrow in question. Beta Drew knew how important the witness program is to him.

Why the delay?

"And also there have been one to many instances that had arisen where he would fail to report things to me in a timely manner with claims that it slipped him."

Pause..

"The thing is these were things that should not have slipped any competent Beta at all. But, he claims it did and now this. I do not trust him at all"

Dracul stirs and ask, "Do you still have him handling important matters?"

Shaking his head the Demon King responds, "Recently I haven't even been keeping him around in too many things at the castle either. I honestly don't want him around me."

"Right now he thinks I trust him to run point on this investigation, I am curious of his findings thus far." The Demon King says amusingly.

But under that amused façade was pure anger from his Beta's betrayal and to top it off The Demon king does not know how deep it runs.

"Ok good" and Dracul went on to explain his suspicion about Beta Drew. Even the fact that on the day the witnesses went missing he saw Beta Drew around 6:30pm looking disheveled wearing a torn shirt."

Leaning to side the Demon King reaches and takes out a ziplock bag from the second drawer. Then he hands it to Dracul asking if this can be the button and material from the shirt he wore, he urges Dracul to think back.

But Dracul didn't need to do much thinking. One glance at that distinct material in that zip lock bag confirms it.

Beta Drew was at the scene when Sharon went missing and that bit of confirmation did not sit well with Adonis.

"You left the snake to run loose for too long and it is time to set a trap that can catch a snake." Dracul hisses with rage simmering on his skin and heat moving through him like a volcano ready to erupt. Eyes flashing a volcano orange like the pits of hell.

The Demon King would love nothing better than to set this trap and execute Beta Drew when caught.

But...

Firstly, he simply wants to continue to observe him for a little longer, at least until these witnesses were found, hopefully alive.

The Demon King grimaced at the last thought, he really did not want to go there.

He wants to know all who Beta Drew is in contact with, all who he considers friend, all who he have been secretly meeting because they as well are considered a threat to him and his Kingdom.

Leaning forward he looks at Dracul and informs him of this and that once he finally confronts Beta Drew he would not be completely blind, he would have gathered enough evidence before hand.

"I want to know them all and take them out one by one."

"Who does not swear allegiance to the throne making a blood oath will be sentenced to death. Blood oath or nothing will keep them alive and as for Beta Drew, only death awaits him."

The Demon King growls the last part deadly.
