The Vampire King’s slave mate

"How much do you want for this captivating woman?" Beta Daniels inquired, and I flinched at the unexpected mention of her name. "100 jewels," a voice called from the front row. "200," chimed another. "500!" someone else shouted. There was a brief silence before Beta Daniels continued, "500 jewels, once, twice... Sold to Lord Isaacson." My heart skipped a beat; I was now property. "I claim her," a deep growl echoed through the room, silencing everyone. "Your Highness," Beta stumbled, bowing humbly. "We didn't anticipate your presence tonight." The Vampire King repeated, "I want her. She's mine." His tone left no room for negotiation. "What the king desires, the king receives." Word has it within the supernatural realm that King Nikolai, who has reigned for a thousand years, is said to be vulnerable without a queen by his side. Could it be that the powerful vampire ruler, who sourced her from a slave auction, could actually fall in love with his own blood slave? It seems an unlikely scenario, doesn't it?
