Chapter 295. A Little Too Cold
Jael ground his teeth as he made his way back to his room. He was in a crappy mood and having to travel all the way to the human kingdom didn’t sit right with him.
However, it was something he had to do as the situation needed to be dealt with immediately. He could only imagine how the Lords would react if news of this reached them.
Not once had he thought Evan would go this far. He never thought he would be that stupid. Did he forget who held the reins? Was this a bad joke?
He was more annoyed that he would have to leave Mauve alone in the castle. The idea of that just didn’t sit right with him.
She was safe, however, there would be vampires coming into the palace for the next couple of days, and he was concerned about that. There was also the fact that all his personal guards were coming with him, he couldn’t possibly take anyone else.
He didn’t want to take so many guards and he was certain they would be able to handle any number they faced.
He would make sure to put out certain orders and make sure she was carefully guarded. He didn’t want to restrict her movement and he also wanted to make sure she didn’t feel alone and intimidated.

Mauve sat on Jael’s bed with her knees pressed against her chest as she waited for him to return. She hoped it was nothing serious and as much as she was curious and concerned, the last thing she would do would be to bombard him with questions when he returned.
She heard the knob turn and her back straightened, instantly alert. He pushed the door open and Mauve squinted her eyes as she tried to see him.
He rushed toward her and from the expression on his face Mauve knew instantly something was wrong and it was serious.
