Foreword What happens when forbidden love becomes forgotten love? We fought hard for our love. We traversed the path from enemies to lovers. We overcame all the obstacles and became everything to each other. Now, they have taken him from me again. My vampire king. My reason for living. They have turned him against me somehow, and I fear he might never be able to find his way back to me, to us, to his family. This small town has become my sanctuary, and I need to protect it from the skin walkers, just like I knew Edmund would. He is my protector, and now I have to be theirs. Otherwise, something terrible might happen. The monsters of the past are back, threatening to destroy us all. I need him back. Will my love be enough to make him remember who he truly is? Losing The Vampire King Chapter One Bianca It’s not like Edmund to disappear without telling me. I haven’t seen him all day. Usually, if this is the case, he’d tell me beforehand that he’ll be out of town for the day, or that he might be up in the mountain with Kano or someone else. It’s not about controlling each other. On the contrary, it’s being safe, because our lives aren’t ordinary. They are anything but. We always need to be careful. One wrong move could cost us too much. Of course, I understand his obligations towards the clan. I have them as well. Being the king and queen of vampires is a 24-hour job. It’s a lot, even when you aren’t taking everything into consideration. I knew that when I accepted to become his mate, when I made his destiny my own as well. “He’s probably by the lake,” I hear my mother suggest, after I’ve been pretending this whole day that I’m not bothered at all by the fact that I haven’t seen Edmund. She knows me too damn well sometimes. “Did you check there?” she asks, as she’s holding my three-year-old in her arms. Orien is sleeping so soundly, without a care in the world. That is what assures me that Eddie and I are doing the best job of being his parents. He is the vampire prince, after all. He has a lot of weight to carry on his shoulders, but we shall cross that bridge when we get to it. For now, we are making sure that he has a carefree childhood, like all children should. “No,” I shake my head, walking over to the open window. The cool, evening air is descending, although it is still not that dark. I look out, gazing into the distance, wondering. My hairs stand on end, and I don’t know why. Perhaps I’m just being paranoid about all of this. “I was hoping he’d be back by now and I won’t have to show anyone that I’m worried,” I finally admit, knowing I can’t hide the way I feel from my loved ones, especially not from my mother. She didn’t watch me grow up, and it is something that we both regret. However, life should not be led in regret, but rather, we should look to the future, and that is exactly what we are doing now, building a bond that should have already been here. I can’t say it is always easy, because we are both stubborn, and this doesn’t help. Still, the love we feel for each other is undeniable. It is palpable. It will always help us find our way back to each other, no matter what. “Why would you be worried?” my mother asks, tilting her head a little. Worry means unanswered questions. I have so many of those left to ask. I still want to ask so many questions about my dad, but I can see that it’s difficult for her to talk about that, so I’m not pushing it. But my curiosity still hasn’t been satisfied. I need to know more. I always need to know everything. It’s a blessing and a curse. “Because this is unlike him,” I explain, pulling my gaze away from the murky darkness in the distance. “You think he will always tell you everything he’s doing?” she wonders, and I’m not sure if it’s a serious question or not. “I don’t need him to give me a report on everything he’s doing,” I shrug. “It’s not that I want to control him. I just want to know if he won’t be around all day. Orien is asking about him, too, and I don’t know what to say to him. Where’s dad? Oh… I don’t know,” I frown. “No need to be snappy,” mom says, getting up from the sofa where she was seated, with Orien in her arms. “I’ll take him up to bed. You can go see if Edmund is by the lake. I’m sure he is. And I have no idea why you didn’t go to look for him there in the first place, if you’re that worried.” “I’m not that worried,” I say, but
