I sat in the car with the women talking away. I did not mind really; my thoughts were elsewhere yet my eyes took in this new environment that was my own personal hell. We had been driving for twenty minutes from the private airfield, going through a large black gate and when I say large, I mean large, like giant large.
The cars drove in, hoping they would not take me to the king in such a manner. I hoped they would at least give me a few minutes to clean up and change.... wait! I did not remember taking out my bags from the plane! I was so focused on all the drama and Belinda had been so scared we had all forgot about my luggage. If that was not being toast, I don't know what was. I blinked and blinked, seeming as if luck had run away from me. What would I wear? Where was I going to get clothes? It was not like I could just go knocking on my next-door neighbour, asking for clothes.
I sighed, thanking the goddess that my phone was tucked
"I hate the fact that I can't see in her future, I mean that has never happened before and I have lived for a thousand years." Another girl that looked nothing more than eighteen said,making me stare at her perplexed.How was that even possible? Witches were mortal and could easily die just like humans.I had so many questions yet I sat listening."Why is he not listening to us?" Another girl with blue sparkling eyes shot out,pacing up and down,it being clear that this got on her nerves."I think that the mystery is something else that has him set on this. If he can't see their future then what were we? It does not matter though, whatever comes,we can take it. We will protect him and the coterie fromanything bad that comes. I am sure this wet dog can't do much damage. Did I mention that she tried to use her stupid dog power on me?" The evil witch that I wante
It was ten minutes later, the noise getting louder and louder,the lights being seen just a bit further away. We walked passing all the trees, walking through the tiny path that was covered in snow. My heart could not stop pounding, my chest so sore,sure that if I was human,I would have died from a heart attack at this point. I sighed which was a habit, really scared because I was not even sure what to do. I did not know the vampire traditions and it seemed these women wouldn't care to help out."Sorry but can I please ask what I would do when we get there, I do not know the traditions, if you may be so kind?" I asked, my voice harsh as if I had been screaming the whole night. I hoped I was as polite as I thought to be,never wanting to get on their bad side again.I waited but nothing. One turned to stare at me before turning back and they went on with their conversation about Rome or something, how they had burn
The light wind blew around us, the flowers trapped by the wind in the air as it cocooned us and protectedus from whatever was on the other side. My hands were on his, seeming so small and fragile yet not wanting to be anywhere else.He stared at me, feeling the eyes holding mine.A moment of silence passedthrough,my heart making it impossible to hear anything as it drummed like a thousand hooves hitting the ground so violently and tearing the earth into two. I did not know what was happening, did not know if I should say something but kept my mouth shut,trusting that they would let me know if so.My eyes closed, taking a swift intake of the air, his scent sending my insides melting, my knees weak. It was the best smell I had ever smelt,letting me know that I was fucked. The mate bond just made all that he would do to me even worse as the pain of being hurt by a mate was something that is not even whispered.
It was him and I, walking in the wee hours of morning,my hand in his.Feet kissedwet ground, snow falling all around us,my small hand engulfed in his as he took me to I don't know where,butIdid not really care.We had so much to talk about, so much to clear out,but in thatmoment I would take the peace. Inthatmoment I would take the fantasy that I held onto, would take the beating heart and treasure the feeling of being by my mate's side before my world collapsed. The cold went unfelt by me, how could I feel cold when I was next to him,staring at my own feet only to move onto his,watching them move with grace, carrying a mighty man that the heavens saw fit to tie him to me, to my heart. I did not blame them though, did not fault them in any way for their work was perfection at its utmost best.The forest seemed to erupt into an explosion of fireworks as we passed,&nb
I lay on him, red petals covering us,sticking to our skin as we still heaved even after the minutes that ticked away. He had waved his hand, the wall disappearing,leaving the sky for us to stare at. The moon was so red as if it would burst into a million pieces.The stars had never shined so bright, the snow,gone leaving a beautiful starry night with a few shooting stars passing our way. Our bodies were tangled together, his arm around me, in his safe embracewith no words havingbeensaid, no words needed as I lay there. My eyes saw the world bright and bigger,feeling so warm and so safe never wanting to tear from him, never wanting to feel anything else than his touch against my skin.Suddenly,he untangled himself from me,making sure I lay safely on the flowers before standing up. He stretched, my eyes shutting,not wanting to see him in his naked glory. The scenes from our love making filled m
Someone was violently shaking my body. I lay ignoring them, thinking that they would get the message and leave me the hell alone but they seemed never to get the memo as I turned, hoping to be far away from their grasp.Shake.I hit the hand that gripped my shoulder hard aiming to snap it from the owner, turning again.Shake."Stop." I said, sleep clouding me, evident in my voice as I turned again.Shake."What!" I snapped, couldn't he understand that I was sleeping. What was wrong with that man?"You have been sleeping for five hours." He said, my anger hitting the roof, and making me shake where I lay, deciding to shut up before I said something I would regret.Shake.I ignored him, maybe if I ignore him then he would go
"You have to pick. I have the pent house at that glass building, a castle, a cottage and of course our cave?" He asked as I turned around, swimming over to him. His arms were wide open for me as I slipped in, feeling them wrap around me as mine sat on his shoulders, water dripping down my face. I did not know which one I wanted . I had grew up in the castle with so many people yet I had never felt so lonely, the cottage was something that had my heart skip a beat. It seemed like my king here was just living his life, giving no mind to all the glitz and glam all the other royals tried to get. They wanted status by flashing their money for everyone to see that they were rich and influential. The cottage offered a normal life, the life I had dreamed of, the life of a normal couple raising their kids in their own piece of heaven. I felt my heart ache at the thought. I would never have children. I would never go through the pain of chil
Never have I seen such a heavenly place. The people we had grown to hate and fear were actually just more normal than even the wolves, I swear. They were kind and loyal to each other living their best lives.We had passed a basketball field where there was a match between two teams and on the tennis court some people were just playing for fun. Others trained in the fields, both girls and boys. I still had not recovered from seeing that. Some girls were dancing and practising cheer in the gym while others just chilled at the park, laying around. I had watched some walking in from work, Husband explaining that it was to keep them busy. They loved to provide for themselves and their families. It was a whole other world here where everything was bigger and better."Wife come, what kind of husband would I be to keep you starving."We stood outside the hall where everyone was at now, eating their dinner together. The chatter was heard from outside, beads of sweat collecting on my forehead.
