-Aspen P.O.V-
I couldn't control it, her heart beating, her blood moving in her veins. So, I did it. I bit her and the worst thing was she was my soul mate and I had just marked her as my own. Her blood tasted mouth-watering and I knew straight away she was a virgin. I couldn’t stop, I didn’t want to, all I wanted was to drain life out of her. I never wanted a human soul mate; I never wanted a soulmate at all. Eventually, I took my fangs out to see her looking weak, I bit my arm, feeding her my blood and vanished out of sight.
I had gotten back to the castle, I went to find Jax so I could apologise to him about before when I overheard my parents, Aurora, my sister and Jaxson talking about me.
"Mom I think we should have a ball so that he can find his soul mate," Aurora said. I didn't want anyone, I wanted my mate, snuggled into my arms. I didn't know who she was but she was the only thing in my mind and how she smelt of lavender. I shook the thoughts out of my head, all these years I never wanted a soul mate, now that I’ve met mine, I didn’t want to let her go.
"Good thinking Aurora, we will have it Friday night," my mother squealed, I walked into the room, walking towards Jax giving him a hug. "Awe my boys made up," mom said smiling, "Aspen we're having a ball Friday night."
I looked at them and nodded not wanting to tell them that I had met my mate today and that I had marked her. I walked towards my room, opening it and walking in, taking my clothes of, putting on some shorts and getting into bed. All I could think about was that girl. The girl that smelt of lavender, her shocking blue eyes and brown hair, she was the definition of perfect.
-Skylar P.O.V-
I woke up from my annoying alarm, I looked at the time and it was 5 am. As soon as I lifted my head my neck started to hurt, I got up and looked in the mirror to see two holes in my neck. Flashbacks from yesterday ran through my head, I had been attacked by a vampire. I walked into the bathroom doing my business and then into the shower, I washed my hair and body. As soon as I was done, I sat in the shower, letting my thoughts consume me. “Sky, you’re going to be late.” I heard a knock on the bathroom door.
I wrapped a towel around my body and went back into my room, I put on my outfit which consisted of black high waisted shorts, a white cropped cami and a pair of black converses. I dried my hair, then tied it into a high ponytai,l then began doing my makeup, I only wore mascara and eyeliner, before heading down the stairs to see my family, my mom Freya, my dad Caleb and Hunter surrounding my mother reading a paper.
"Morning," I said.
"Morning," they replied, not looking at me.
"A ball," my mom said looking at me. I shook my head knowing she would make me go and then she would go and buy me an expensive dress so I could impress the vampires. "I will pick you up after school and we will go buy you a dress since the ball is tomorrow," I shook my head. “Skylar Mitchell, I will not say it again, you are to attend this ball.” She sassed at me, I only nodded in return, not wanting to get on mother’s bad side. I grabbed a granola bar and headed out of the house and waited for Ryder to come pick me up.
-Aspen P.O.V-
It has been two nights since I marked that girl and two nights of me thinking about her nonstop. I unwrapped my body from my black sheets, let my feet drop to the floor and walked to my bathroom. I did my business and took a shower. I put on a clean pair of boxers and a pair of basketball shorts I grabbed my flip flops and put my black I phone 12 plus on charge then headed out the door. I walked to the dining room to get breakfast.
"Morning," I said giving my mom a kiss on the cheek.
I sat next to Aurora and her mate Daniel, opposite me was my father and next to him was Jax.
"So today is your ball," Aurora said reminding me.
"Yes, Aspen the tailor has made your suit it is in your room," my mom told us, “Now I want all of you ready by 6.30."
Once I had finished my breakfast I walked to my room and grabbed my Jordan sneakers and a tank top, I put them on, grabbed my phone and left my room. It was only 9am, so I decided to go to the other side of town and thinking that I could have a chance of meeting her again.
I super sped to the street I bit her two days ago, when I smelt her. I followed the smell and it led me to a white house I looked up and saw the balcony window open and then I saw my beautiful mate.
-Skylar P.O.V-
It was the day of the ball; my mom had told me not to go to school, so that I would have more time to get ready. The time was 8 and I had just woken up, I hopped in the shower washing my body and hair. I hopped out putting on my undergarments and my brother's shirt on top which went below my butt. I then headed down the stairs to see my mom and her best friend Julia, Julia is Ryder's mother and she is a makeup artist.
"Morning Sky," Julia greeted me.
"Hey Aunt Julia."
"So, you excited about today? Your mother asked me to do your makeup and hair," Julia told me.
"Yup, Mom I'm going to run some errands, so I will be back in a few," I told my mom.
"Sky, don't forget your pants."
I looked down and blushed, I ran up to my room and got out a pair of booty shorts and some flip flops, I grabbed my phone and my card then walked out the house. As I was walking down the drive way I bumped into a hard body.
"Omg, I'm so sorry," I said to the guy.
"No problem, it's fine," he said with a smile.
"Do I know you?" I asked.
"No, I don't think you do, I'm Aspen but you can call me daddy," He said smirking.
-Aspen P.O.V- "Skylar," she laughed and ended it with a smile, she looked breath taking, smiling at me. "It's nice to meet you Skylar but I have to go," I told her confused as to why she had not recognised me from the other night, I looked down at her neck, the mark I left on her was covered, covered in make-up. it made me angry, she was hiding my mark. "You look so familiar," she said with her eyebrows crossed. "Yeah, I get that a lot," she gasped. "Y-You you were the vampire that bit me, you left two marks on my neck," she said backing up. "I'm sorry I couldn't control it," I told her going to touch her. "Don't touch me," she said running back into her house. I wanted to go after her but I couldn't move, seeing my mate cry in front of me made me hurt and guilty that I was the one who made her hurt. I then found myself walking back to my castle, I walked to my room ignoring everyone. I sat on my bed, my vision started
-Aspen P.O.V- "She's human," Aurora blurted out, my mom began squealing like a 10-year-old girl and my dad stood there shocked. "How can you have a human as a queen?" Father said furious. "Oh honey, let them be. They were made soul mates for a reason," my mom calmed him down. "But how is a human suitable for the role as queen? This is why we should have Jax as king instead of Aspen, and Aspen is too immature for his age, he is not fitted for the role as the king," my dad blabbered. “He doesn’t even like humans.” He was right, I never wanted a soulmate, I was the type to only have one-night stands, that’s what I was known for, I didn’t care for anyone’s feelings. I only cared about the pleasure I was receiving every night. Honestly, I didn’t care for the girl, I didn’t want to, but something deep inside me was telling me otherwise. “Dad, it doesn’t matter if she’s human, it’s best if we get to know her.” Aurora cut in. "Honey, I w
-Skylar-I woke up with strong arms wrapped around my tiny waist, I tried to get out of this strong grip but it only made the mysterious person's arm cling onto me even more. I touched the hand of this person when something went through me, it was like lightning and butterflies erupted in my stomach."Sky, stop moving," the man said with a husky familiar voice."Ew get your gross filthy vampire hands off of me," I screamed. BANG, the door hit the wall and someone appeared through it."I heard a scream, what happened?" I looked up to see Jaxson. Aspen removed his arms from my body and I felt relieved but I kind of also missed his touch along my skin."He was touching me," Jaxson shook his head while laughing and then walked out the room closing the door behind him. Aspen turned his face towards me, I examined all his features and fell in love with it. His dark brown hair which was messy, his jawline which was super sharp and his eyes which you
-Skylar-I woke up in my bed, it was comfortable but not as comfortable as it was in Aspen's room, oh how I missed being in his arms during the night, it made me feel safe and protected. I shook off my thoughts and walked into my bathroom, I have been staying at the castle for a while now and so far, it had been going well, surprisingly everyone here was friendly and welcoming. Today, Aspen had decided to take me out on a date, it was our first date and I wanted to look good so Aurora decided it would be best to help me. I quickly took a shower, washing everything and then hopping out. I dried my body and slipped on my undergarments, I walked out my bathroom to see Aurora sitting on my bed."Damn girl, you have the perfect body." She whistled, "just wait until you get into the dress, I picked out for you."“Are you sure it’s suitable for our date?” I asked looking at the dress she was now holding up.“Yes, I spoke to Aspen and this
-Skylar- I watched as he sprinted out my room, a frown was now replaced on my face. I picked up my body and sat on the bed, I felt tears roll down my cheeks and the taste of salt filling my mouth. I knew that this was not a good idea, I didn’t know what came upon me, I wasn’t the type to seduce men. I got changed into a long shirt, put on some fluffy socks and made my way to Aurora's room. I knocked on her door but walked through when I didn’t hear an answer. I could hear the shower faintly running so I decided to wait. I walked towards her bed and sat down; pulling my phone out to see if I had any miscalls from Aspen but there were none. After what felt like hours Aurora had come out the shower and after I had told her everything, I broke down crying and now here we are, with Aurora comforting me as I cry about a guy. "Hey, instead of crying over my douche ass brother lets watch a movie and eat junk food," I nodded. "Okay, I will grab the food fr
-Aspen- It had been four days since Skylar fell unconscious and I hadn't left her side at all. Even though I was mad at her, no! mad isn't the word, disappointed, she was still my mate and I cared about her.Yeah, if you cared about her, you wouldn't have pushed her off us the other day.My vampire Vladimir said. Hey, I saw the angel mark on her hip, it was the same mark Maya had.Aspen you need to move on from her, it has been years.He had a point; it was time that I moved on from Maya and gave my full attention to Skylar who has been in this bed for days. I missed seeing her beautiful ocean blue eyes, her long light brown hair that glowed in the sunlight, her mouth that I would always leave those passionate kisses on, her jawline that I would always leave a trail of kisses on and lastly her smile, it was the most beautiful characteristic she had and honestly it was my favourite, I loved how she always smiled, how she alw
-Aspen-"Aspen?" I heard the familiar voice behind me say, "I was pranking you."I turned around to see Skylar standing there, I ran up to her, picking her up and spinning her around in my arms. I hugged her so tight because I was cared she would leave me."I want to talk to you," I told her, leading her into the forest behind the castle.-Skylar-"While you were in that hospital bed, I had been thinking, thinking about you. All I'm trying to say is I love you." Aspen confessed.I sat there dumfounded, not knowing what to say, I loved him as well but I wasn't sure whether he would believe me, maybe he would say that it w
-Isabella-As soon as I walked into the mall the smell of blood and woods hit my nose. MATE my wolf Rosie yelled in my head. I followed the smell to see a boy with blonde hair, he had tattoos down his arms and he had the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. Having a mate was the last thing i had needed right now, my priority was finding that human girl. I saw that the human girl that Master wanted me to kill was walking away from him, I instructed my guards to follow the girl and kidnap her while I got the car ready. 10 minutes passed and I looked out the window to see James coming with the girl.-Jason-It had now been 2 hours since Skylar had left me, I was getting worried because she had not called me to meet up. I called her phone but she would not answer, I tried t
