Bedding My Vampire Mate

Chapter 590 Joanna's Next Move



"Over one hundred guards are guarding the palace. With such tight security, don't you think it's weird that Kayden got in harm's way and none of the guards could catch the assassin..."

"Are you trying to say the previous kings were murdered and that just like them, Kay has become their target?" Joanna asked, frowning.

"What other reasonable explanation could there be for this situation if not the one I mentioned?" Audrey replied with another question.

"The perpetrators can try however they want but I am here to make sure that their plans don't succeed. Whoever dares to touch a hair on my husband's body will have no one but himself to blame," Joanna said and sprang up from where she sat.

"And what are you planning to do now?" Audrey enquired her eyes focused on Joanna.

"To look for the one who dared to lay a filthy hand on my man..."

"Didn't you say the attacker ran into Hilmert Forest? How are you gonna find him there?" Audrey quizzed. She walked to where Joanna now stood gazing out of the window.

"Have you forgotten that we still have the Golden Token Alpha Benjamin gave to us?" Joanna reminded. She spun and peered at Audrey's face.

"With that, I can go in and out of the Golden Core Pack without worrying about getting locked up in their dungeons like the last time. When I get there it will be a matter of time before I discover which one of them made an attempt on Kay's life," Joanna said, her head cocked to the sides with pride.

"Yes, you are right about that but I will disagree about you going there. At least now that the situation in their pack is unstable," Audrey outrightly disagreed with Joanna's decision even though Joanna had a good reason for her choice.

"Why? Did something happen over there too?" Joanna asked cool-headedly.

"I bumped into Marcus yesterday night and he told me that things had changed drastically in the Golden Core Pack in the last five months. Marcus said that the Golden Core Pack isn't that peaceful and harmonic we once knew," Audrey relayed Marcus' words as best as she could.

"I don't quite understand you. Will you go into details? At least, I need to know what to expect there before I embark on my journey," Joanna muttered meekly as she leaned against the edge of the window for support.

Audrey went ahead and narrated all that Marcus told her. She tried as much as possible not to miss any details.

"If it's really true that Alpha Benjamin's whereabouts have remained a mystery for the past five months then that means now is the perfect time for me to pay them a visit..."

"Is that all your ears picked up? Didn't you hear when I said that people mysteriously go missing every few days and some are even killed?" Audrey asked, not able to hide her annoyance.

"Although our encounter was brief, I had already seen Jocelyn as a good friend. She was so nice and caring towards us despite that it was our first encounter. I owe her and I think this is the perfect time to repay her," Joanna said sternly.

"Yes, Jocelyn is a sweetheart no doubt but...,"

"Also, I am not gonna do this only for her sake. Don't forget I am treading into the lion's den to search for the one who almost killed my husband on our wedding day," Joanna said and caressed the golden necklace around her neck one more time.

"I love Kay more than you think. I won't be able to survive if I lose him and I can't stand anyone posing a threat to him. He went through hell to gain his people's trust and get to where he currently is. The people of Twipera deserve to enjoy the reign of this good King for a long time and I won't let the bad guys have their way," Joanna spoke at length.

"They might have been able to assassinate other kings in the past but they made a mistake by harming Kayden. I will make them pay dearly for this," Joanna declared, her fist clenched until they made a crack sound.

"Since when did you start caring about what the people of Twipera Kingdom want?" Audrey teased to ease the tension.

"You are right, it's only my husband I am looking out for," Joanna replied, not able to resist smiling.

"I was worried you won't get used to a married woman's life but I can see you are doing just fine. You are even proud of it, Naughty girl," Audrey teased and strolled to the couch at the centre of the room.

"That is because I married such an excellent man and I can't stop praising him?" Joanna beamed and moved to join her at the centre table.

"So when are you leaving for the Golden Core Pack?" Audrey asked a bit seriously.

"Hmm..." Giavanna trailed and adjusted the way she sat so she was staring at Audrey's face.

"I would have said tonight but I can't. There are some things I need to take care of. Apart from handing in my resignation letter, I have to hang out with Little Rice Ball the entire day," Giavanna replied more confidently.

"I don't know for how long I will be gone. I need to do this or else that Little man will get mad at me again," Joanna continued and smiled when she imagined Anthony scowling at her after she returned.

She won't be able to handle Anthony being mad at her and that was why she had to include hanging out with him in her plans.

"I don't have much to settle. All I have to do is inform my parents about the trip and also leave a message for Kyle so leave the packing for me," Audrey offered to help out with arranging the things they would need.

"You are the best. That is why you are such a sweetheart," Joanna praised. She pulled closer and embraced Audrey. She didn't forget to peck her on the cheek.
