CHAPTER 131 : THE AMBASSADOR

Xander planted a rough, hungry kiss on my lips and any shyness or apprehension vanished in an instant.

“I missed you,” he said into my neck as I continued to clutch him against me, my fingers curling into the fabric of his shirt.

“How long have you been in Mirage?” I asked when I finally pulled away to look up at him. He was clean-shaven and dressed in casual trousers and a button-down shirt, with a white undershirt beneath. He looked more like a random resident of Mirage than an Alpha King, but I was more than okay with that. I reached up involuntarily and ran my fingers through his black curls, which were brushed back away from his face. He’d gotten a haircut since the last time I saw him. He looked…. Well, he looked so much healthier, and happier, since we’d parted ways after the war.

“Only a few hours,” he replied, leaning down to press a kiss to my forehead. “I’m on my way to meet with someone, actually–”

“Meet with someone?” I laughed, pushing away from him. “Was that someone not me?”

“Well, I had to meet with them first, and they’re on my way to the castle,” he smiled with a shrug. “I didn’t expect to run into you, but I’m glad I did. I think you should go with me.”

He took my hand and began to lead me away, drinking deeply from the lemonade I’d bought for Mom.

“Who is it?” I asked.

“The ambassador for the vampires who are settling in the east,” he replied. I halted, an uneasy feeling settling in my stomach.

“What?”

He turned to face me again, and I could tell by the look in his eyes that he totally understood my hesitation.

“There are a lot of them,” he began, “and some, especially the families with children, have expressed the desire to spread out. There were four kingdoms of lower vampires, and they don’t all get along, as well as those who had been enslaved by the king for… centuries. There’s just not enough room in Crimson Creek for all of them, and your dad is planning on relocating some of the families to Mirage.”

“My dad? You saw him?”
