Damian involuntarily licked his lips, unable to control himself. "Then do you... guys... do you have your significant other?"
"N-No, we don't... none of us have found our mate yet... My King..." Amaya Kuroyami said, shaking her head violently as if she wanted her king to know that she was single and very much available, an emotion that was shared by the other countesses as well.
"Why not..." Damian asked in a low voice, and the five countesses could see his eyes becoming more and more emotionless as moments passed, as if something inside him was taking control over him.
"Its... um, as you know, my king, we vampires mate for life, so it's not easy to find a suitable partner," Lillian Brenlith said.
"Oh, I must have forgotten... so none of you have found your mate yet, is that right?" Damian asked, as the remaining specks of emotion in his eyes vanished completely.
"Y-yes." The five countesses started to feel something changing in the atmosphere.
