“Charlie, hey Charlie” a husky voice cooed. Soft kisses were being spread across my face, over my eyelids, my forehead and cheeks. From the fireworks that were forming across my skin, I knew that it was Leo.
I let out an unappreciated groan, trying to snuggle deeper into the bed as I tried to fight off the kisses that bombarded me. The blankets were ripped away from my body, as I felt a cold breeze tickle my skin. I annoyingly opened my eyes to see a smug looking Leo standing over me, fully dressed and ready to go for the day.
“Wake up, Charlie.”
I let out another groan as I looked towards the alarm clock. “It’s 5:00 in the morning, Leo.”
“I know,” he said as he shrugged his shoulders. “Now get up and get dressed.”
I sighed, trying to suppress the yawns that littered my brain. I groggily made my way to the closet and searched for something comfy. I found o
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒We made our way to a couple of different spots that day, and like he promised he kissed me at every single one. We found ourselves in a field of blooming summer flowers. Paths of light lavenders, baby pinks and yellows surrounded us as he placed a light kiss on my lips.The next was a glorious peak, leading me around a trail that surrounded a roaring waterfall as it cascaded down beside us. The sun shown through the tall trees, making small rainbows across the sky. That kiss lingered longer then the meadows, almost deeper. At the end of the small trail beside the waterfall there came a clearing that looked like someone had made a picnic.Leo sat down and patted the seat next to me. I made my way over, positioning myself so I was looking deeply into his eyes. We stared at each other for a few moments before a soft breeze swept around us. Leo’s eyes hooded over, as the soft humming radiated from his chest, just like before.&ldquo
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒“I want you to try and shift,” Leo said, as his eyes left a trail of heat down my exposed body.“But, with the vampire presence I don’t know if I can…” I said, but before I could finish my sentence, I could feel Faleece roaring to life inside me. She had become restless for some time now, especially when she had found Pandora lurking throughout her space.“Faleece would love that,” I quickly said, eating my previous words, “She will love that very much.”“Since you’ve only half shifted, it may still hurt,” Leo frowned, “But I can try to ease your pain.”I closed my eyes instinctively and called Faleece to the forefront of my mind. I could feel Pandora right beside her, as if they had joined forces. They had seemed to find blissful solace in being connected, and I could feel their warmth spread throughout my body, as their presence intertw
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒ My eyes scanned the forest around us, but I couldn’t quite find where the voices had spoken from. I could see the smoky black and grey tendrils slithering slowly across the forest floor, making there way towards me and I just stared with anticipation. Leo rolled his eyes at the grand entrance of the ghastly person forming from the shadows, but Pandora was thrilled that her Predestined was so extravagant. The smoky tendrils began to form what looked like a shadow, as I could see the outline of a tall man being assembled through the thick fog they created. His eyes shined a bright red, as he began to step forward. The ice-cold shards quickly began spreading throughout my entire body, faster now that the Vampire King had fully emerged. It sent a sense of calm pleasure through my spine, directly to Pandora who was shivering in anticipation. The love she already felt for her mate was admirable, and it made my heart flutter in my chest. F
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒I couldn't hide my confusion as I walked inbetween these two men. I had only just began to accept Leo, and now I had to worry about another mate who I have only known for about a week. Leo kept glancing my way, and I could only manage a small smile, which I knew would do nothing for his nerves. Alistar smoothly glided beside me, looking as carefree as ever.For some strange reason, both Faleece and Pandora had gone completely silent, leaving me alone to my thoughts which annoyed me. At a time where I needed them most, they decided to abandon me. Typical.As we made our silent trek back to the castle, I could see my mother and father waiting for us on the steps. As soon as my mother had contacted my dad, he must have come running immediately since we had only been back for a day. I didn't mind though, since it felt like forever since I had seen him.“You look different, little one,” he said, frowning as he pulled me i
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒ “Hello, my dear child,” a beautiful women said as I approached. She had long silky silver hair and dawned a beautiful form fitting gown that reminded me of the moon as her hips swayed. “Who are you?” I asked. “You already know who I am,” she said, holding out her hand to me. I placed it in hers, and instantly felt the tingles of her touch. “You’re special, Charlie. Don’t ever forget it. You were made for this” “Made for what?” I ask, just to be sure. “To be the Queen the world needs you to be.” "What does that mean?" "You'll know when the time comes." ☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒ My sleep was restless, as my mind wandered away from me. Sleeping next to Leo was a blessing, listening to the rise and fall of his chest, but I couldn't help but feel as if there was something missing. Like I wasn't completely whole. Alistar i
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒Pandora/Faleece POVFeeling the power that I know held inside of my body, I knew that this could be the make or break of many things. Although I wasn't sure of the extent of which my power could grow, I could feel that it could potentially be destructive.How could they have been so naive to think we wouldn’t take over completely? He may be my Predestined, but that doesn’t mean I won’t use him for power, since he was doing the same to me. After lying dormant for so long, searching for the right body to possess my soul, it was now our time. Although I would need help to restore my power, I had Faleece to help me do so.“Come!” I sent out the silent call like a gentle wave, for my light and dark shadows to enter my body. To slither through my veins giving me the power I so desperately craved. Like gentle rippling waves through the layers of dirt at my feet, the stone
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒After the little incident in the garden, Leo decided that training with Alistar was finished for the day. Instead, we decided that lunch was a good idea so we could learn more about what my family history was like. We pulled up to a place that Leo’s family owned and got escorted to a private booth that hid us away from the rest of the restaurant. Leo ordered for us, which sent a feeling of relief through me since I felt pretty exhausted from this morning.“So, where do I begin?” Alistar said, clasping his hands together as we sat at the table waiting for our food.He began to tell me that Werewolves have mates, but Vampires have Predestined. Although both species can live extremely long lives, Vampire souls are made for one soul only. And his other half lived inside of me. Pandora was the other half of his soul, but he didn’t know that until he met me. Instead of smell, Vampires use pure instinc
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒“Emily, my Queen. I’m Oliver’s mate.”“Oh,” I said simply, “You do know that he was banished for treason, right?”“I knew that he had gotten himself in trouble, when he followed you into the forest and didn’t come back. I know that he did something unforgiveable to you, but he is my mate and I love him more then anything. It seemed to have worked out in the end anyways,” she said, making sure to put emphasis on the last part.“I don’t know, Em,” I said, not showing emotion at her outburst.“You would do the same for your mates!” She screamed at me, “If this was the opposite way around, you would do anything to save Leo or that Vampire! So why is it such a crime because my mate decided to do it? Because you’re the Queen and I’m not?!”“ENOUGH!” I yelled, silencing her. My blood was boil
