-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 to get blurry and I felt water rolling down my cheeks. I, Aspen Xavier Mikealson has never cried and I never will. I wiped away the tears and walked towards the bathroom to take a shower because I stank.
Once I had finished my shower I put on a clean pair of boxers and walked towards my room, I put on the suit the tailor had made. It was navy blue with a white shirt and a black bow. I did my hair and put on a pair black smart shoes, I would wear my sneakers but my mom will kill me. I walked out of my room and towards the ball room, I looked at the time to see it was 6.40 and I was supposed to be there at 6.30. Oh, who cares?
"Aspen Xavier Mikealson, you better have a good reason for- honey are you crying?" Mom gasped.
"It's nothing mom, let's just do this."
The guards announced me and my mom, we linked arms and walked in. My mom was really beautiful, she is a very funny person to be with and she is so sweet, she is an amazing mother. My mom was wearing a strapless cream dress which had sheer black over it and with some black designs on the top, my mom was 1089, but she looked like she was still 27, young and beautiful.
We walked down the stairs and towards the front where our thrones were, I know, I know it sounds like those olden time shit but the royals still have this shit. We sat down and watched as everyone went back to talking, the time was now 7 and I was hoping that Skylar would show up.
Time went by and still no Skylar, I was currently dancing with a girl that looked like a whore, she had on a short tight dress and her breasts were threatening to fall out of the tight dress. The smell of lavender filled my nose, I looked around to see if Skylar was anywhere to be found. My eyes landed on a girl, she was wearing a navy-blue dress, it was tight from the top and showed her cleavage, the dress went puffy from the hips and her hair was in curls, she looked absolutely beautiful.
"She's beautiful, isn't she?" Aurora snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Yeah," I drooled.
"Brother close your mouth or you'll catch a fly," I closed my mouth.
"She's your soul mate, isn't she?" Aurora asked.
"Yeah, I met her a few days ago. Aurora, you can't tell anyone. Mom wouldn't want me to have a human mate." I warned her.
I walked away from Aurora, and towards Skylar.
"Hi," I said to her.
"Oh, it's you," she glared at me.
"I'm sorry about the other day, it's just that you're my soul mate and I couldn't help it. Ever since that night I haven't stopped thinking about you, earlier on today when we met outside your house, I felt so angry at myself that I hurt you, I'm supposed to protect you I'm so stupid," I rambled.
"I've been thinking about you non-stop too," she told me.
"Let me be your first dance," I told her putting my hand out for her to take.
-Skylar P.O.V-
"I'm sorry about the other day, it's just that you're my soul mate and I couldn't help it. Ever since that night I haven't stopped thinking about you, earlier on today when we met outside your house I felt so angry at myself that I hurt you, I'm supposed to protect you I'm so stupid," he rambled.
I looked into his eyes, they were brown and you could get lost in them.
"I've been thinking about you non-stop too."
"Let me be your first dance," he put his hand out.
I placed my hand on his and felt the sparks through my body, I looked up at Aspen to see him smirking back at me. We walked towards the dance floor and the song ‘say you won't let go’ by James Arthur started playing, I rested my cheek along his chest while he had his arm around my waist.
-Aspen P.O.V-
After the dance was over, I walked to my parents, they were standing next to Aurora and her mate Daniel.
"Aspen, darling. We have been looking all over for you, your brother tells us you found your soul mate," mom said excitingly.
"Aurora," I growled.
"Sorry, but it slipped out of my mouth when I was talking to Jax, and I guess he told mom and dad," Aurora quickly said.
"So, who is she?" Dad asked.
I frowned at them, if my father knew that Skylar was human, I would be dead, well I am already dead but I would be dead, if you get me.
"Honey, what's wrong? You should be happy you found your soul mate," mom asked.
"Nothing, it's just, when I tell you, you guys, mostly dad will be a bit angry."
"Oh, Aspen. Just tell them," Daniel said.
"Well, s-she's," I stuttered.
-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
-Aspen-1 week of Skylar gone, 1 week of Vladimir gone, 1 week of me feeling the pain Skylar is in and 1 week of her not next to me sleeping. The thought of Skylar gone makes me want to kill myself because of all the pain she is going through, because I was selfish enough to not put any guards with her and made her take useless Jason instead. I've been searching for Skylar non-stop, I have Jason, the idiot, hacking into her phone trying to find her location. I have guards out during the day and night looking around town trying to find her. And me? Well I've been sat in my office moping at the fact that the love of my life is gone and is in pain. I haven't eaten, showered or slept in 1 week, who knew a girl could have this much of an effect on me.-Skylar-SLAP! My cheek was now t
