Enslaved By The Ruthless Vampire Lord: Her Second Chance Mate

CHAPTER THIRTY ONE

THANKS TO bells, Jessica Van Noord, and Angela Mingie for the moon tickets.

Naya hurried out of her room immediately after having a shower, she walked out to see Keira already waiting for her.

“You took so much time Naya..” she said to Naya, who showed Keira her note pad where sorry was already written on it.

“Forget it, come on. The guests have arrived and lord Rhys will begin the selection soon. We have to start serving the dishes..” she informed Naya, who responded by shaking her head as she couldn’t speak.

They began to walk towards the main Hall that. was mainly filled with women from different walks of life.

“Where were you guys?” Esme glared at the both of them the moment they arrived as they both stood beside her.

“We’re here now, that’s what matters..” Keira replied, she had already told Naya everything she needed to do.

“Too late. Your work has been done already. We’ve served the dishes, you’ll pack all the plates instead and wash them..” Esme said to them. Keira was about to protest when Draven walked in.

Naya’s mind was somewhere else and whatever Esme said, entered her left ear and passed through the other.

She had still not seen Rhys and she was trying to search around, hoping to find him, though it looked like he was not around.

Naya’s mind was elsewhere, but Keira’s attention was focused on Draven. She couldn’t help but notice how handsome he looked, even though he wore a simple tunic and breeches. His dark hair was pulled back in a low ponytail, and his deep brown eyes were piercing.

“Don’t you think lord Draven is also very dashing?” Keira asked Naya, giggling as she watched him sit down. But Naya’s mind was not there and she did not hear anything that Keira said. She wanted to see Kai, that would be the only way she was going to calm down once and for all.

She had tried calming herself down the past few days, all to no avail.

Naya was lost in her own world, her thoughts far away from the bustling hall and the people around her. She was caught up in memories of the night before, of Lord Rhys and the things he had said to her and did to her.

She remembered how he had made her feel special, like she was the most important person in the world to him. She had never felt that way before, and it was overwhelming.

Naya’s heart ached at the thought of not seeing him again, and she wondered if she would ever have the chance to speak to him again.

And it even ached more at the thought of him ghosting her forever.

“Naya….” Keira called with furrowed brows as she shook Naya’s shoulder.

She knew something was eating her friend and it hurt her knowing that Naya could not speak. Maybe If she was able to speak, she would be able to express her feelings.

“Naya, are you okay?” Keira asked, her concern evident in her voice. She placed a hand on Naya’s shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze.

“You can tell me anything, you know that, right?”

Slowly, Naya turned to face Keira and she flashed a weak smile at her, while she shook her head slowly indicating that she was fine.

Her sister Zara was on the other side of the hall chatting with Genevieve and Naya was glad that she was having a good time. She just wanted the selection to be over.

As Naya watched Zara, she couldn’t help but feel a little bit envious. Zara seemed so carefree, so happy and confident. Naya wished she could be more like her sister, but she just didn’t have the same confidence or self-assurance.

She knew that she would never be able to compete with the other women in the selection, not when it came to beauty or charm. Naya felt like she was just a small, insignificant girl in a world of beautiful, confident women.

But then she remembered Rhys. He literally made her feel special.

She was still lost in her thoughts, when someone arrived in the room.

Silence reigned the moment he stepped foot into the hall.

Everyone turned to look as he entered, and Naya’s heart stopped when she saw who it was.

It was Rhys.

He looked as handsome as ever, dressed in a fine blue tunic and black breeches. His dark hair was pulled back, exposing his strong jaw and striking features. He held a stoic look on his face.

“Kai?” Naya muttered with a confused look on her face, she was perplexed as he was walking alongside Vlad.

He looked so different from the Rhys she knew and she doubted that he was Rhys.

“Who’s he?” She was so stunned that she was forced to speak as she doubted that he was Rhys.

“That’s lord Rhys. I know he’s very handsome..” Keira giggled, then paused as realization hit her hard.

Naya spoke to her.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Did you just..” she stammered in shock and Naya was in shock as well as she was trying to process everything.

He was always loitering around lord Rhys’s quarters joblessly, he acted too cocky at first and dealt with the mess she made in his room.

Then Jennet stopped bullying her all of a sudden.

How was she so stupid that she never realized?

Kai was the vampire lord Rhys.

As the realization hit Naya, she felt like the world had been turned upside down. How could she have been so blind?

But even as these thoughts raced through her head, she couldn’t deny the feelings she had for him. He had been kind and caring towards her, treating her like no one ever had before, and acted so differently from the way people described the lord.

She felt completely and utterly conflicted.

What had she been doing? Crushing on Rhys? Allowing herself to get fooled and played? What was next? Her history with Rhys was over after he made a fool out of get. He was making a selection.

The thought of Rhys choosing someone else was like a knife in Naya’s heart. She had been so foolish to think that he might have felt the same way about her. But it was clear now that she had been just a passing fancy for him, someone to while away the hours with.

The whole experience left Naya feeling humiliated and ashamed. How could she have let herself get so attached to him, knowing who he was?

She wanted to run away and hide, never to be seen by him again. But she knew that wasn’t possible.

Then she felt a tear flowing down her cheeks, she looked up and accidentally locked eyes with Rhys but she looked away hurriedly. She hated the position she was in, she stood among the first row of maids and she was just a few meters away from Rhys.

“Naya you just spoke..” Keira gasped in surprise, she actually thought that her ears were deceiving her. But she heard right?

“Lord Rhys would make his selection right away..” Someone announced, stunning everyone. It was faster than they had expected.

The room was filled with different beautiful women from all walks of life as they couldn’t wait to get chosen.

“I want her..” Rhys’ deep emotionless voice rang in the hall as Naya slowly looked up to see the lady he picked first.

Then she noticed something strange, all eyes were being directed at her.

Then she realized something, Rhys was pointing right at her.
