Bedding My Vampire Mate

With her mouth hanging open and her eyes widened, Joanna watched as the guy elegantly climbed the stairs with his hands stuck in his trouser pockets.

Onlookers who were previously blocking his path created a path for him like he was some important figure.

"Weren\'t you dumb so how come you can talk now?" Joanna questioned, still unable to get over the shock.

"Raymond!" The three troublemakers shouted as if they had just seen a ghost.

Joanna diverted her attention to them and then back to the guy.

"You are the infamous Raymond that everyone is crazy about?" Joanna asked in disbelief.

If it was other students who addressed him as Raymond, she wouldn\'t have believed it but since it was coming out from the mouth of the mean girls she knew they were not lying.

"If you could talk then why did you…,"

"I know you have tons of questions for me but I will advise that you at least blink ok," Raymond, the tall handsome guy with rare Hazelnut eyes said.

His bewitching smile almost brushed the ladies off their feet even though they were not the ones he was smiling at.

"You need to act natural for us to be able to convince them that we are close," He beamed and stepped forward.

He averted his attention from the astonished Joanna\'s face to the ladies whose main focus was him.

"I ask whether you think we are still outnumbered but none of you said anything," Raymond spoke casually. He didn\'t remove his hands from his trouser\'s pockets despite standing in front of the mean girls.

His questioning stares made the ladies snap out of their daze.

"Ray, what are you doing here?" Sophie questioned as she took a step forward. She was about to walk closer when her friends grabbed and pulled her backwards.

"Can\'t you see that he is with them?" Doris reminded, in case Sophie had missed that point.

Sophie looked at the two people standing at Raymond\'s side. She clenched her fist when her eyes locked with Joanna\'s.

"Ray, why are you with them…,"

"Can\'t you see anymore to tell me that I am with them or do you need me to confirm that to you?" Raymond snapped at the girl who was pretending to be the most gentle lady alive.

"That\'s exactly what we want to know… You are a person with class. One with Noble birth. You are an A-lister model and celebrity so why are you mingling with lowlives like them," Nora asked with a disgusted look.

"How dare you say that about her…," Joanna held Amos\' hand before he could advance towards the girls.

"Ladies should be handled by fellow ladies like them so leave them to me. I have got this," Joanna assured with a smile.

Still holding onto his hand for support Joanna turned and glared at the girls who hadn\'t taken actions for reasons best known to them.

"Call him a low life just one more time and I will make sure you forever lose your ability to speak," Joanna threatened, her piercing glares focused on the girl\'s faces.

"Wow… I am scared," Doris said as she trembled along with every part of her body shaking.

"Can\'t you see how scared I am," Doris mocked them. She ignored Sophie\'s warning and went ahead to do what was on her mind.

"You ladies seem to forget things so soon. I recall not long ago I didn\'t only make you guys wet your pants in fear but I also made the entire Kingdom fear for their lives," Joanna said. Her cold gaze moved from one face to the other.

"If you want me to remind you how it feels to live in fear of your lives again I don\'t mind doing…,"

"S-shut up," Nora stammered as she moved two steps backwards. Merely recalling those horrendous nights they spent battling with her ghost made her hands and legs tremble.

At that moment Joanna\'s face turned pale white and her silver hair turned black and messy.

"Ghost!" Nora moved backwards only to fall after tripping on her leg.

"What is wrong?" Sophie and Doris asked at the same time as they stretched their hands to help Nora up.

"Ghost, can\'t you see that?" The trembling Nora shouted while pointing her finger at Joanna.

Curious to know what she was talking about Doris and Sophie followed where her finger was pointing at her.

Surprisingly they didn\'t see any ghosts but Joanna.

"She…," Nora, who could no longer see Joanna like a ghost, was left speechless.

"Was that all in my imagination or did the evil girl do something to me," Nora muttered. She quickly composed herself seeing the way other students were talking while pointing fingers at them.

She stood up from the floor where she was sitting and dusted her body.

"Since you are with us, you won\'t mind getting my bird for me right?" Joanna said. Despite trying to act cool she still sounded upset.

Anyways who in her shoes won\'t be angry after being blatantly lied to?

"Sure, I am more than obliged to do that," Raymond replied. He didn\'t forget to smile at her.

He spun and went to where Sophie had dropped the bird before she attacked Joanna earlier.

Raymond went close to the girls and carried the bird. He returned without any of them trying to attack him.

No matter how powerful they are, they dare not attack Raymond, the Prince Charming of all the girls on campus.

Apart from the ladies, so many guys looked up to the all round perfect dude.

"Let\'s leave the crazy girls alone…,"

"You want us to just leave like that despite all they did to you? Don\'t you think you are too kind…,"

"Should I leave my poor bird to die in my arms just because I want to avenge myself?" Joanna asked as she cuddled the bird in her hands.

"Let me tell you something," Joanna replied as she raised her head and looked him in the eye.

"Just because I was nice to you doesn\'t mean I am kind so don\'t ever be mistaken. Also if I want to take revenge for what they did, I will do it myself. I don\'t need anyone to do it for me," Joanna made herself clear before she turned to leave.
