SYDNEY'S POV............
It's been month,a whole month without Axel,he didn't even bother to check on me,the only people who remembered me in that house and bothered to check one were Julia,Alia and Queen Selena. No one else cared about me.
"Sydney are you listening" my father suddenly asked. We were sitted in his study room and he was saying something I wasn't paying attention to.
I snapped out of my thoughts and faced him "yes dad,you were saying....".
"I said you know I won't live forever".
I frowned " Don't say such nonsense father,you are still very agile".
"Just listen to me......,when am gone,you will be the one in charge of the affairs in this community, you will be the one to rule the vampire kingdom because I don't have any other children but you can't rule this kingdom alone".
"And what exactly do you mean by that?".
"Our kingdom is not happy with the fact that after my death,a lady will be one to take over. They might even try to overthrow you".
I leaned over to him "So what do you want me to do?.
"You need a man to rule by your side" he shook his head "why am I even beating around the bush,I want you to get married to Beck".
I stood up abruptly and took a step backward,completely shocked "What! what are you saying father?".
"You heard me right,you and Beck were dating before that unfortunate incident so why do you have a problem with getting married to him and I think you two would make a good match".
I shook my head "But dad,am not ready to get married".
"Okay then,give me one good reason why you don't wanna get married and I promise you won't get married because am aware of the fact that you are of the age to get married".
'Because I am already the mate to someone else' I badly wanted to tell him but if I did,he was gonna tell me to introduce my mate and Axel did not want me. Besides if dad found out Axel was my mate,he was never going to agree to it so I choosed to keep quiet.
He sighed "I thought as much........ I will discuss with the priest about a good day for the wedding and then I will get back to you".
"Okay father". I bowed and left. Maybe I could talk to Beck,tell him to talk to father and refuse to get married to me so father would call of the wedding. Luckily for me,I sighted him talking to one of the palace guards so I walked up to him.
"Beck I want to talk to you about something important".
He faced me and kissed me on my cheeks "how are you doing Sydney?".
I nodded "Am good but I want to talk to you urgently".
He shook his head "Maybe later,I've been sent for by your father".
I grabbed his arm as he turned to leave "Promise me you will refuse whatever my dad ask of you?".
He raised his brows confused "I can't promise you anything Sydney,if it's something worth refusing then I would gladly decline but if not........" And he left.
Something told me that he was going to agree to the marriage proposal,I mean who wouldn't. I left to my room only to see a letter on my bed
****************************************************Sydney,meet us in the forest behind your house,we want to really see you, we have really missed you. Hurry up,the bushes behind your house is filled with killer bugs.
****************************************************
I hurried to the bushes behind my home so I could see my visitors.
"You are terrible at hiding Alia,look your leg is coming out of the bushes". I heard Julia say. They were hiding In the bushes and I chuckled lightly when I saw Alia's left foot out in the open.
"Sorry" she mumbled and pulled her leg back in bit then Julia yelped "I said hide your leg not step on me".
"Am so sorry". I sighted her shifting closer to another feminine figure "My Queen please bear with us,the situation is not conducive enough for you".
Selena chuckled "Are you kidding me,am the one who brought you guys here and besides I love doing things like this".
"You're all nuts". I heard Sue suddenly say, was Sue really here. "I should never have come with you guys,Sia will be so mad at me".
Julia made a snorting sound "We never asked you to tag along,you saw us leaving,asked where we were going to and when we told you,you decided to come with us".
"Am only here because I want to see Sydney" She snapped back and they started bickering.
I took a step forward but then Selena whispered "Someone is coming,quiet the both of you".
I chuckled and shook my head "It's me guys and just to know you are all terrible at hiding".
Sue was the first to step out and the others followed,she ran to hug me "Am so happy to see you".
"Me too darling,I missed you so much".
She held my shoulders with her hands and studied me "So you are not annoyed that I did not stop Axel from throwing you out of the house?".
I shook my head "Am not annoyed,and besides it was not your fault,Sia needed you at that time". My face saddened,Sia was still annoyed with me,she did not even come to see me. As if reading my mind,Sue smiled "She still needs some time but she will come around,and I assure you that one day,she will be the one sending you a letter".
I smiled, trying to reassure myself "I really hope so".
She nodded and gave way for Alia to hug me,I frowned at Alia "You are not supposed to be embarking on such journey in this condition and you know that Alia".
She chuckled "Am perfectly fine Sydney and besides,the baby is been a good baby and not disturbing me in anyway".
I hugged Julia next and bowed to Queen Selena.
"You've got to be kidding me" she shook her head at me and pulled me for a bear hug "Don't ever do that again,you know I don't like such greeting from a friend".
"Okay Selena".
"So is there any news you would love to share with us?".
"Actually there is...........
"Are you coming back home?" Julia quickly asked.
I shook my head "No,Axel doesn't even want me back".
"You are not planning on giving up are you?" Alia asked.
I turned my back at them but Selena walked up to me and put her hands on my shoulders and turned me so I could face her "What's wrong Sydney,you know you can tell us anything".
I bowed my head and bit my lips "Am getting married".
There was long silence between us,you could even hear the chirping of the birds.
"Married?" Sue choked like she was trying to understand the meaning of the word.
"Yes....my dad is already deciding on the date".
"Why didn't you refuse?" Julia requested.
"Don't you think I did,but he asked me to give him one good reason why I was not going to get married to my long time boyfriend".
"Then why didn't you tell him?" Alia asked me.
"Tell him what?,that I already have a mate that refused to accept me. Okay let's see,if I told my dad,then he would have asked me for the person name and who should I tell him?Axel?.....and you think he would accept him?".
No one answered my question and I sighed "I thought as much,let's just forget about that issue and talk about something else".
Selena nodded unwillingly "Sure".
JULIA'S POV(yeah,it's really me)..........I couldn't stop thinking of the conversation we had with Sydney,maybe it would be better if she got married and start afresh with her life, besides she deserved someone who would love and care for her. Someone completely different from Axel, so asking Sydney to not get married and wait for Axel will only end up hurting her. We were all patiently awaiting the arrival of Jude,he hasn't come home since yesterday when he left with that stripper and I was starting to get very worried."Am home guys" Jude suddenly announced coming in with the same stripper of yesterday and he was even holding hands with her,what the hell!.Cary stood up scowling "What is the meaning of this nonsense bro,do you think it's funny?".Jude rose his brows confused "What in the world are you talking about?"."We were all sick and worried about you all through last night till this morning because you did not come home meanwhile we weren
SYDNEY'S POV........All day,I had been looking for a chance to discuss with Beck but he was either busy with this...or busy with that..... but today,luck decided to pay me a visit as Beck knocked on my door.I was glad that he finally decided to speak with me but angry that he made me wait for him so I frowned at him when I opened the door "Are you aware that I've been wanting to talk to you?".He raised his brows at me "So you are not even gonna greet me or say anything nice?" He walked into my house and sat on my couch "Look am sorry Sydney,but its just that I've been busy lately with the wedding preparations coming up and all so....what is it you wanted to discuss with me?".I said beside him and faced him "Don't you think it's a little too early to get married?".He knitted his brows "What do you mean,we have been dating for years haven't we".I nodded "Yes we have but......He suddenly stood up and stared at me "Are you in love
SYDNEY'S POV............CONTINUATION......."Am getting married".Hunter raised his brows "What do you mean by you are getting married?"."Well Hunter....am getting married to my long time boyfriend who I never broke up with before I got abducted and was announced as Axel's mate".Cary shook his head abruptly"You can't get married".I frowned "Why not......because you care so much about Axel?".Hunter sighed "We care about you too Sydney and you know that"."You care about me Hunter and you also treat me like your sister,I know that and for all that am genuinely grateful but...there will always be a big difference in the way you treat Axel and the way you treat me, and do you know why.....because Axel is your childhood best friend and am just one pest of a girl that came into your lives and took the space of your previous Luna"."Sydney............."Its fine Hunter,really....but do you think it's w

CONTINUATION......Axel's Pov..................I kept my cool and gritted my teeth "Why them?".She grinned "Well to be sincere, I thought about experimenting it with all of you but then I thought........if I did, then how would you and Hunter suffer so much, so I made my choice. I picked Sia and Alia because I can't risk having healers here, I also choosed the moon goddess and Cary because they are both big threats to me.....but Julia was getting on my nerves so I decided to teach her a lesson"."Why are you doing this to us,we don't even know you".She cocked her head and chuckled at Hunter's words "You're right when you say you don't know me but you see....I know you very well infact,am on a mission to destroy your life Hunter".Sia raised her brows "Mission?...that means you have a boss,who is he?".Circe grinned "Ohh but you know him or don't you Hunter,....'no matter how much he tries,a chick can never run away from the eyes of
Sydney's pov..........I kept having this strange premonition that something terrible was happening back in Axel's home. But if something was really wrong,then Hunter would have definitely told me when he last visited...... Maybe I was just overthinking things or I was just missing them. Just then,I heard a knock on my door and I rushed to open it."Hunter....." But my smile faded when I realized that it wasn't Hunter at the door.A very familiar figure stood in front of me and frowned at me "Why does it seem like you are not happy to see us?"."Seems like she was not expecting us but someone else" The male added coming in view from behind the feminine figure.I grabbed the both of my wonderful twin cousins Kia and Kiera on their neck for a big hug "Don't be so silly the both of you....am overjoyed to see you".Kai raised his brows uncertain "Well then....I guess we were wrong" And they fully entered the house.Now for a formal introd
Continuation.........Sydney's pov.......Hunter scrubbed his face with his palm "That's the problem,we can't kill her because she has Jude on some kind of spell that she call the Bond kiss".My eyes widened "Wait! did you just say the Bond Kiss".Hunter nodded "Yes do you happen to know anything that can help in breaking the spell".I bowed my head and shook my head "No I don't".Kiera grinned " I happen to know how to break a bond kiss".I beamed happily "Really...how".She raised her head in a proud manner "Well.....You have to kill the person who cast the spell".I slapped my forehead with my palm "Were you even listening...Circe can't be killed,if we kill her then Jude will die too"."That's not what I meant dummy,we will kill her but first we have to suspend the bond".Sia shook her head "You are speaking glibberish girl".She groaned "You guys don't understand anything do you......we need a Ji
