Bedding My Vampire Mate

"Granny, that is not necessary. We are leaving in a moment," Jocelyn said with a smile.

Grandma Andy diverted her attention to Audrey and Joanna. The way she stared at them made the two girls wonder what was wrong.

"Granny, those are our new friends. They came to our pack for a mission and they will be leaving soon," Jocelyn tried to explain. She thought that the woman might have problems with Joanna and Audrey being there just like the other pack members.

"Your eyes are unique. What is your name?" Grandma Andy asked while settling her gaze on Joanna whom she was talking to.

Joanna quickly adjusted the way she sat, "My name is Joanna".

"Don't you remember me?" Grandma Andy asked. Her question made Joanna exchange puzzled glances with the other girls.

"Do you know me?" Joanna asked while pointing her index finger at herself.

"Of course I do… Oh and I forgot you were not even delivered when we met. How could I expect you to remember me," Grandma Andy muttered as she leaned against the brown couch?

[How come people know me here when in fact I never knew about their existence?]

Joanna stared at the old woman suspiciously.

"Grandma, don't tell me you were also a friend of her mother just like Elder Carter…,"

"The age difference between her mother and me was over 200 years so how could we be friends…,"

"If you weren't her mother's friend or a relative then how do you know her? And what do you mean by you met her before she was even delivered?" Audrey asked the same question that was on others' minds.

"Because I am the one who made the prophecy about her being King Kayden's mate," the old woman blurted out to the shock of Audrey and Joanna.

"What!" Joanna remarked in amazement.

"You are the Great Seer? Rumours had it that you were dead since you never showed yourself after you made the prophecy," Joanna said with widened eyes.

None in the kingdom doesn't know who the Great Seer is. Those who haven't seen her must have heard about her from others. Grandma Andy's prophecy about Joanna and Kayden further boosted her popularity.

"Seeing that you are even aware that Kayden Greyson became the King of Twipera Kingdom, I can attest that the rumours about your prophecy being fake is a big fat lie…," Audrey trailed. Everyone could tell that what she said wasn't really what she wanted to say.

"Since you are so powerful, I am sure you are aware of Anna's condition right?" Audrey asked boldly. She focused all her attention on the old woman with grey hair.

"While we are at it, can you tell me when she is going to overcome all this suffering? She is going to regain her powers tomorrow right?" Audrey asked. For some reason, her heart began beating rapidly as she waited for the woman to satisfy her curiosity.

Her greatest wish at the moment is for Joanna to regain her powers and put to shame everyone who has ever looked down on her.

Audrey can't wait for her best friend to get strong so she can start physically fighting for herself.

She felt so optimistic as she stared at Grandma Andy for answers.

"Grandma, the moon goddess is going to bless Joanna with a wolf on her eighteenth birthday right? Our guess is right hmm?" Rachel asked when she saw the hesitation on her Grandma's face.

"Greatness comes after the third death," Grandma Andy finally spoke but not the words the girls wanted to hear.

"That is all I can tell you," Grandma Andy said sternly. She stood up from the couch and made to leave.

"What does that mean?" Joanna asked hurriedly.

"You will understand what it means when the time comes. And if you don't, then you can come back to see me for an explanation in the future," Grandma Andy said. She left the confused four girls to themselves.

"I am sure what Granny said doesn't symbolise a bad thing so there is no need to worry. I am sure that the moon goddess will grant your greatest wish," Jocelyn tried to break the tension with her playfulness.

"I hope so," The worried Joanna replied lifelessly.

The three of them went out to join Carl and his group after spending seven minutes there.

Ten minutes after they had left, Rachel went to her Grandma's room. She met the old woman standing staring at the sky through her window.

Rachel walked over and stood close to her Grandmother. "Grandma, what did your earlier words mean?" Rachel asked. She shifted her gaze to her Grandma's wrinkled face.

"Despite that, you had made the prophecy about her back then I find it hard that you recognize her at first glance. Did you perhaps see a vision about her? Was that why you recognised her with ease?"

Rachel pressed further.

Her Grandma's expression earlier showed that there was more to what she said. She won't be able to have a peaceful night if she doesn't find out what her Grandma was hiding.

"Is she a special wolf? Was that why you were hesitating…,"

"What special wolf are you talking about a girl who is going to die soon? She is no special wolf," Grandma Andy said to Rachel's bewilderment.

Rachel's legs lose strength at the hearing of her Grandma's words. She would have landed on the floor with a loud thud had she not leaned on the wall.

"Joanna is going to die? But why and how?" Rachel asked.

"The thing one can never fight against no matter how hard a person tries is one's destiny. She was lucky to escape fate twice but… That is why I will advise you not to mention anything to her…,"

"But Grandma…,"

"She is already so happy that she is going to regain her powers so there is no need to dampen her mood with something that can not be changed," Grandma Andy said sternly. She went over and sat on her medium size bed covered with floral quilts.

"Why does destiny have to be so cruel to her? This is so unfair to a girl who has been looking forward to her day of liberation all her life," Rachel said angrily. She left the room feeling sad and angry at the same time.

Meanwhile, Jocelyn escorted Joanna and Audrey to Elder Carter's home. They parted ways there after bidding themselves farewell.

When they reached their room they were not surprised to see that Anthony was still awake.

The little boy has gotten so used to having Joanna tuck him to bed that he finds it hard to fall without Joanna around.

Joanna and Audrey freshened up after Anthony finally fell asleep.

"Aren't you gonna switch on your cell phone? I am sure your mum and dad might have sent you tons of messages…,"

"And that's exactly why I switched off my cell phone the moment I left home that day. I knew that she would call and send me tons of messages until my cell phone exploded," Audrey said as she dropped the blue cell phone on the bed.

She hadn't made use of it except when they went to the zoo and the boutique earlier. Immediately after they were done taking pictures, she switched off the cell phone again.

"At least you have someone who cares about you when you are not around unlike me so you should be happy…,"

"You have me to worry about you right?" Audrey interrupted Joanna sharply.

"Also, there is one person back in the kingdom who must be worried sick about you now. I am sure he must have developed grey hairs by now," Audrey said playfully. She didn't need to mention a name for Joanna to know who she was talking about.

"I am sure Kay must have been too preoccupied with official work to even spare me a thought…,"

"If you are afraid that he didn't think about you then I will tell you not to worry about that. Instead of sparing you just a thought, I am sure that you are all he could think about for the past two nights and today will make the third night…,"

"Hey, why are you suddenly saying such cheesy words? It's so unlike you," Joanna said. She pretended like she didn't like what Audrey was saying.

"Because I know that you love hearing such mushy words. Also, I heard that werewolves go crazy about their mate because of the mate bond. I can't wait to see you go insane for Kayden after you both have mated…," Joanna hurriedly covered Audrey's mouth, not letting her finish her words.

"Hey, little rice ball is there so watch what you are saying," Joanna scolded the smiling Audrey. The look in Audrey's eyes showed that she was having fun teasing her best friend.

"He is sleeping. Also, you know that I am stating the truth. In the past, you never really cared much about him but I can see some changes now. Instead of seeing him as a friend, I can tell that you are drawn to him romantically…,"

"Since when did you become a love expert huh, Miss Audrey?" Joanna asked sarcastically.

"Since the day I saw you drool over his naked body…," Joanna covered Audrey's mouth which she released not long ago.
