CH50 A vampire cannot be mated to a queen

It was the second week of our three week stay in South America, and the sleeping plan was still the same, I stayed with Dylan whilst Damon stayed with Charlie, I still sat next to Charlie at meal times and didn't talk to Damon any more than needed, he always looked so sad, I just wanted to hug him, a few times I had found myself walking to him, but stopped remembering I was the reason he was sad, he even tried to get close to me but I wouldn't allow it.
"Queen Anastasia, we have a problem" Leah announced one day, we were waiting for people to come and talk to us
"What's wrong?" I asked
"A meeting has been called and all kings and Queens must be present"
"Where?"
"Right here, in the meeting room, all the kings know you're here, so they decided it should be here"
"So what's the problem? A meeting is a meeting" I shrugged
"The meeting is about you" Leah told me, I looked at Dylan, as if to ask him if he knew anything, to which the lycan shrugged.
That evening we were guided to the meeting room, there were men sitting around the table, I recognised Pierre, and Arjun, but I didn't recognise the others, they each stood to introduce themselves
"King Jabari, of Africa" the first man said
"King Paul, of North America"
"King Nathaniel, of Australia"
"King Benjamin, of Antarctica" I acknowledged them all with a nod, I sat at the head of the table as guided by Leah, who sat on my immediate right, as I sat, the others also sat
"May I please ask why I have been pulled away from my work?" I addressed the men around the table
"We're sorry for the intrusion, queen Anastasia" king Paul stood up "we don't think its a good idea for you to be mated to a vampire"
"Excuse me!?" I nearly shrieked, I looked towards Arjun and Pierre
"We voted for the mating" Pierre assured me, I nodded at both of them as a thank-you, but wait, that means, I looked at Leah
"I wasn't even aware of a vote, my queen" I huffed at that
"So the men decided to vote leaving out the women?" I addressed the men around the table "I think we should vote again"
"With all due respect, your majesty, the votes have been counted" Paul reminded me
"And you think I should, what? Stop loving my mate, because you had a vote, a vote that I had no say in? I think not, we shall have another vote" I addressed them all once more "those who think I should leave Damon, raise your hand" Paul, Jabari, Benjamin, and Nathaniel raised their hands "That's four" I smiled you know where this is going, right? "Those who think I should mate whoever I like, raise your hand" Arjun, Pierre, Leah and I raised our hands "four, it's a tie"
"But that's not fair, you are not supposed to vote queen Anastasia, this is about you" Paul piped up
"No" I banged my hand on the table, Damon came towards me probably to calm me down, but he must have thought better of it and stopped "this is about you, and your stupid agendas you think women are incapable of thinking, incapable of making decisions, well let me tell you, if a woman decides to stop giving birth you will not survive"
"Oh? And will you ever give birth?" Benjamin spoke, I looked at him questioningly "Vampires cannot procreate, how will you give birth to your heir? Who will look after the kingdoms when you die?"
"Are you joking?" I shrieked "please tell me you're joking, don't you know who I am? I'm Evangeline, the first ever witch, Evangeline had children, I had children so many times, how many of them do you see here, ready to sit on my throne?" I looked around for emphasis "I am the queen, and I will remain so, and if I die? Well I'll do what I've always done, I'll come back"
"Your majesty" Jabari spoke "Vampires are not as powerful as witches, a witch and a vampire standing together does not look good, vampires must remain at the feet of witches" I was so annoyed at this, I walked to Damon, and he gasped as I held his hand in mine
"I am the queen of the seven kingdoms and I hear by declare, as you are all my witness, king Damon is the king of the seven kingdoms" everyone in the room gasped "and if anyone here has a problem with that, there's the door" I pointed at the door with my head, "now then" I started as I let go of Damons hand and walked back to the table "I don't care about your vote, I'm a woman, a human, I have a brain, I have a heart, and I have power, I'm pretty sure I am capable of making my own decisions, if you don't like my decision then that's tough luck, I don't care, king Damon is my mate, and that will never change, no man has the authority to tell me what I should and shouldn't do, is that clear?" I asked, all the kings looked at each other whilst Arjun, Leah and Pierre smiled at me
Soon everyone left, all except Pierre
"Nice speech" Pierre commented "king Damon? I could get used to that" Pierre winked at me
"This meeting, Pierre, when did it take place? Why wasn't I informed?" I asked him feeling very upset right now
"The meeting took place last week, you were here, and Paul must have figured his kingdom was next on your list, I don't know, but he decided to have the meeting, it was at his Palace, he knows what happened to Jonah, and he's worried its going to happen to him"
"So what? He's trying to distract me away from him?" I asked
"No, Anastasia, I think he wants to overthrow you"
"What!!?" I screamed, Damon was by my side in an instant
"Relax Anastasia, this is your world, you created it, some men don't like to see women in power, it infuriates them, they think men are more powerful therefore men should rule, but Anastasia you. Are. The. Most. Powerful. Being. In. The. World, they can't overthrow you, so they settle to try and make your decisions for you, so they can, in the future, tell people they are your advisors, I guess it makes them feel powerful" Pierre shook his head. I sat at the table once more thinking about what Pierre had said.
Dylan, Charlie, Damon and I were the only people in the room, the lycans came to sit on either side of me, I was crying
"Hey, what's wrong?" Dylan asked pulling a handkerchief out from his pocket, and handing it to me, Charlie was stroking my shoulder whilst Dylan held my hand, Damon stood away from us probably worried I might push him away.
"I'm tired" I sniffed "I'm tired of everything, I'm tired of fighting, I'm tired of being told what to do, I'm tired of waking up every morning" I whispered
"Don't say that" Charlie nearly shouted, he too looked like he would cry
I could see and hear Damon coming closer, and I let him, when he was close enough I stood up and moved from the chair,
"Please sit" I told Damon, he obliged and I straddled him
"Ok we're going to leave" Dylan said as the lycans got up and left
"Looks like it's just me and you" I told Damon as I wiped away the rest of my tears, I probably looked a mess but I didn't care
"Anastasia" Damon whispered
"Shh, I missed you, Damon, please let me just..." I lay my head on his shoulder
"I am so sorry" my vampire cried
"I know, it's ok, I forgive you" I whispered back, Damon gasped and I moved my head away to look into his eyes "I forgave you days ago, I just wanted you to suffer" I told him sheepishly, I wondered and before I could wonder anymore I licked the bloody tears on Damons face and let me tell you, honestly, I'm never doing that again, I mean yuck,
"Eww" I commented to which Damon chuckled
"Didn't like the taste huh?"
"I'm hungry, my king, I need to feed" and before Damon could say anything I moved his shirt away and bit his shoulder, my vampire moaned and held my head, I was moaning too, his blood tasted amazing, I missed this so much, he held my hair as I drank and drank, soon he pulled at my hair stopping me
"You're gonna drink me dry, my beautiful queen" he moaned I was breathing heavily after drinking his blood,
"Maybe I want to" I told him with a smile, he smiled too
"Will you come back to our bed tonight?"
"Why?" I inquired at the change of subject
"Maybe I'll let you drink me dry"
"Promise?"
"I promise" he said honestly
"Why?" I asked why would he let me drink him dry, I mean I wouldn't, but he'd let me
"I'd do anything to make it up to you, Anastasia, I shouldn't have tested you, it wasn't supposed to go that far, I wasn't supposed to hurt you, I thought, I hoped you would blink, but you didn't, why didn't you, why didn't you hurt me? Why didn't you kill me? Why? Why?" His forehead was on my chest, my dress was now bloody, my face, my head, I was probably completely bloody, I didn't know how to answer Damons questions so I just let him cry.
Once Damon was all cried out, I stood up, and guided my mate to do the same, his face was bloody, his clothes were bloody too, so without saying anything, I blinked us to the ensuite in our room, I used my hearing to make sure Dylan and Charlie were not in the bedroom, happy that they weren't I helped Damon get undressed
"Anastasia?" Damon questioned, his voice was still raw after all that crying, I shushed him, and I got undressed too
I guided him to get into the shower, I waited for the water to be hot enough before I got in we washed the blood off each other, Damons eyes were red and his black veins were visible, either he was hungry for blood or hungry for something else and although I wished it was the latter I had a feeling it was the first one
"When did you last feed?" I asked my sexy vampire, Damon just shook his head, another tear fell from his eyes "tell me" I asked again
"Two weeks" he almost whispered "I haven't fed since I hurt you, I won't, I deserve to be punished, I won't feed, I won't" he whispered still crying, well this shower is a waste
"Feed from me" I offered but Damon shook his head
"No" he pushed me a little "don't you get it, Anastasia, this is my punishment, I deserve this, I will not feed I will die" he turned away from me, and when he said he'd die I gasped and turned him to me I slapped him across his face, it probably didn't hurt him
"Don't you dare say that again, do you hear me? Don't you dare" I cried, I hugged him tight "I love you Damon, please don't ever leave me" I whispered probably sounding really vulnerable "Feed from me" I told him he looked at me not knowing what to do
"As queen I command you to drink from me" I couldn't command him, not really but non the less Damon listened
"Please punish me" he told me
"This is your punishment, you have to drink from me" I smiled Damon didn't smile but he went to my neck and kissed it I moaned and when I moaned he bit me, yes, this is what I wanted, I had missed this but he stopped within three seconds of starting, his eyes were still red, his veins were still out, I knew he needed more
"What's wrong? Why did you stop?" I asked him holding his face in mine, the man was still crying
"I'm scared" he cried
"Of what? What are you scared of?"
"What if I take too much? It has happened before what if I hurt you"
"You won't, I'll blink away, I'll kill you before you hurt me again, I promise Damon, just please drink, I need my king, Damon, please give me my king, please" I kissed him to show him how much I loved him, he kissed me back with passion then he kissed my neck, and for the second time he bit me, this time he drank more I counted six seconds but after that I couldn't count anymore I forgot how to, this is what I wanted, where I belonged, this is where I wanted to stay forever
