To make it worse, his body being against mine was making me go crazy and I didn't even know why. I hated the guy with every fibre of my being so why was i reacting like this.
Luckily I did not carry my guns in my upper body or else he would have felt them as our bodies were really close and my cover would have been blown.
Sweet chills went over my whole body when he started whispering in my ears. "Never ever speak up to me you hear because I rule this place and you are just a pitiful weak human nerd who needs to know her place." he harshly said to me then un gripped me and went wherever he was going.
I couldn't give him a piece of my mind because I had been busy distracted by his sweet melodic voice.
"There I go again!" I angrily shouted to myself.
Why was I acting like a love struck high school girl with a crush?
"I need to get my head in the game and not be distracted." I then thought to myself. I knew that if Lake Huran was here he would have been disappointed.
To make it worse I also realized that I had ruined a chance of killing him by being dumb. The hall was empty and he had no guards with him. I could have finished my mission quickly and gone home to be crowned queen.
"Now I have to wait another chance to kill him." I angrily thought to myself.
Also another thing that was worrying me was why I was feeling more attracted to this guy, an immortal enemy of mine and someone I'm meant to kill.
Damn! I had to control my female hormones as they would probably be the ones to lead me to my death.
The next day after school ended while I was driving home I then received a call from Evelyn.
"Hey Sierra, today there is a party at my house so I'm inviting you to come and I'm not accepting no for an answer."
"Sure I will come and don't forget to send me your house address number." I answered her thinking maybe tonight was the night I was going to kill his royal Wolfness.
I didn't want to look hot as that would ruin my image as the nerd, shy girl. I put my nerd glasses on, and wore casual clothes which were not meant to be worn for a party instead of some party dress. I arrived at Evelyn's house but did not expect to see a mansion as big as this. It looked much bigger than the white house but it was not as big as my castle.
It was decorated with balloons everywhere; there was a DJ on the stage, a huge swimming pool, a bar on the side and lots of drunken people. It was just the usual stuff you find at teenage wild parties which usually ended badly.
Evelyn came to greet me, "ah Sierra you made it." she cheerfully said to me while giving me a hug.
I now already liked this girl because even though she was werewolf and all her peers hated me the “Human” she had a good heart to continue being my friend even inviting me to her party. Plus she didn't even question my wrong choice of clothes for a party.
Suddenly I heard the voice I was expecting to hear. "What is she doing here?" the voice angrily shouted.
I looked at him and almost wanted to throw myself at him because he was looking more handsome. Where were all these feelings still coming from? They were confusing me and happening automatically, I could not control them. I think something was very much wrong with me; maybe a witch working against vampires had put a spell on me.
"Yes that must be it." I said to myself in denial. Once I find that witch doing this I was going to kill her, I don't care if it was being done as a prank or what. It was not damn funny as I did not want to have feelings for a mutt especial this one, a prince mutt aka his royal Wolfness.
I would've stood there the whole night just gawking at him but luckily I quickly snapped out of that when Evelyn answered.
"I invited her here since she is now my new friend. Just chill okay because today is your birthday and you’re finding your werewolf mate today."
"Werewolf mate? What are you talking about?" I asked pretending to not know anything.
I was now very happy inside because if he found his mate today I could first kill her just to make him feel what my father feels living mateless. I was also surprised to know today was his birthday I guess that is why there was lots of commotion at school.
"Oh boy, me and my big mouth." answered Evelyn when she realized that she had said the words werewolf mate aloud.
She looked at Jacob for help but he just shrugged and said,
"Sorry sis, you’re explaining to her on your own and if she lets our secret out you know the consequences." then he went away to his buddies.
When I heard the word ‘sis’, I was really surprised to find out that his royal Wolfness and Evelyn where brother and sister. It was only known that the werewolf king only had one child. I was dreading to have found this information because if she was the daughter of that mutt that meant I had to kill her also.
"So are you blood related to Jacob?" I asked her after some awkward silence with her trying to decide whether to tell me about them being werewolves.
"No, I was adopted into their family and so that is why it’s hard for me to make friends because they all just want to be befriend me for my royal status." she told me with a sad face. But for me I was happy because that meant I would not be killing her yet.
"Royal status what do you mean?" I pretended to ask her. I just wanted her to tell me about them even though I already knew so that it would be easier to get information about some of their weaknesses.
She took my hand and led me to the forest near their yard. She then looked at me "Sierra since your now my only real friend, I believe you need to know something about me and I trust you not to tell anyone." she then said all of this while looking at me with a straight face making me feel a little guilty.
Suddenly a big brown furred wolf stood in front of me replacing Evelyn.
By the look in her eyes she was expecting me to run away screaming or faint. I already knew his royal Wolfness was watching us because I could sense him meaning he was also expecting me to have the same reaction and be there to catch me.
Instead to shame him, I went to Evelyn the wolf slowly pretending to be scared and started to brush her fur with my hand. I heard a gasp from afar as both his royal Wolfness and Evelyn were surprised by my reaction.
‘’You have a beautiful coat." I said to her while staring at her rare golden brown fur colour. I could feel his royal Wolfness leaving but found out that he had left some clothes under a tree. Evelyn took the clothes which she carried in her mouth and changed behind a tree.
She came out with a very surprised look on her face.
"Wow, you know I thought you were going to run away from me and think I'm a freak." she told me but I could detect some sadness meaning something like that had happened to her before.
Shame poor girl. Just because someone was different did not mean you had to call them names.
"I wouldn't do such a thing when you had just trusted me with an awesome secret like that." I told her while smiling. In my life I had fought werewolves but never touched their fur gently so this had just been a first time experience.
"So what are you?" I asked her just to keep up my act of not knowing about her kind. "I'm a werewolf, half human and half wolf." she answered me with a smile on her face. “Wow so you actually exist!” I said while pretending to look amazed.
"Yep." she answered smugly
"So now will you tell me all about your kind, I’m very curious to know more?" I asked her pretending to be excited and curious.
"Sure and we can go back to the party when my brother has to blow his candles." she answered me.
She told me all the information I already knew about how mates on the male`s special birthday before the clock struck midnight were supposed to meet whether by accident.
Once they touched each other they would feel tingles all over their body. If they did not meet that meant they would meet on the male's next birthday or any day.
She also told me about how werewolves were immortal meaning they could also get stuck at the age of 18 like vampires if they chose to or they could
go on ageing.
But the most important information she gave me that I was going to give my father was about something called wolf baine that could paralyze or burn werewolves. This would give us a big advantage in the war. Even though I didn't want certain werewolves like Evelyn to die, I had to avenge my mother's death on their kind.
She also told me about them being royalty and I already knew that information. I found out that this mansion was a pack house and Jacob was the Alpha. His father had decided to give him a pack when he left the castle so he could train to be a leader before becoming Werewolf King.
After she had told me all of that we returned to the party and just in time to watch his royal Wolfness blow his candles. After that people went back to partying and there was still 2 hours left before midnight.
Evelyn started dancing with some guy so I instead went to take some alcohol. As I held the red cup tasting it, I almost gagged wondering why some werewolves’ even humans bothered drinking this stuff.
It tasted horrible and made you drunk losing your senses while sometimes leading to you making some huge mistakes which affected your life. Luckily for me I could not get drunk as I was a vampire and my body did not get affected by food or drinks so I just continued to drink it from boredom.
I had to pretend to be drunk as other werewolves had seen me drink lots of alcohol and to them I was a human.
I then decided to go outside and get some air.
While standing outside I felt a person's hand touch my arm.
"Hey there sexy thing." said a voice of some drunk mutt since werewolves could get drunk if they drank more than 5 bottles of alcohol.
I wanted to lift him by the throat and throw him to the ground with my vampire strength for doing that but then I would be seen by people inside as they could see us but where busy partying. I would then be caught and have to fight all these werewolves and miss my chance of killing the werewolf prince.
"Leave me alone!" I harshly told him while I quickly removed my arm from his.
"No way hozei am I leaving a hot cutie like you without getting some."
While saying that he pushed me against the wall and was about to put his disgusting hands inside my top.
‘’Stop touching me or you shall face the consequences." I angrily shouted at him with my eyes almost turning red with rage. Only my soulmate was going to get the right to touch my body so I was so disgusted by his touch. I was about to use my vampire strength, blowing my cover and beat him up until I heard the voice that I could now recognize anywhere.
"Leave the girl alone buddy, if you don't want to get hurt by Me." said his royal Wolfness who was rescuing me and looked very fierce.
"Leave me alone and go find your own girl!" replied the drunken guy as he did not know that it was his prince he was talking too.
I was surprised to see the angry expression on his royal Wolfness' face; I guess he did have a heart after all. Behind that arrogant cocky prince maybe there was someone pretty decent. Nonetheless I was still going to kill him in the end even if he had a good heart.
He then took the guy's hand and spun him so that the guy was now facing him. He started bending the guy's hand at an odd angle that I could already hear the bones breaking and snapping. The drunken guy was enduring lots of pain but had been commanded not to scream no matter what or else he would die.
"That will teach you to never force a girl on anything." he told the guy who now had a big gush on his hand which was going to take days to heal and made him leave the party.
That might be considered ruthless but the drunken guy was lucky it was not me handling him as I was planning on chopping his whole hand off but he would still heal quickly anyways as a werewolf.
Even though I didn't need his royal Wolfness help I was just thankful that I didn't have to use my vampire strength and have blown my cover.
The werewolf prince did not even know that by interfering he had just helped me in not having my plan of killing him be discovered.
When he came back his hand and shirt were filled with blood. Just to thank him, I took a cloth and was just about to clean his hand covered in blood when my hand touched his skin. The most surprising thing ever then happened, which was that I felt tingles all over my body….
Chapter Seven
We both hypnotically looked into each other's eyes and felt like we were the only two people in the world. I was lost in his wonderful greenery eyes and he was lost in my blue oceanic eyes.
I started seeing my future with him; me getting married with him, becoming pregnant, giving birth to his children, watching them grow and us living an eternal life full of our love for each other.
It all felt so real then everything started going backwards as I was no longer pregnant or married to him and I found myself slammed back to the harsh reality.
We stared at each other in surprised expressions then just as the clock made noise striking midnight we snapped out of the trance.
I started thinking that maybe I was dreaming or thought wrong until I heard him whisper the word
"Mate!"
I felt like the wind had been knocked out of me because how could a vampire and a werewolf become soulmates.
Such thing had never happened in the history of all supernaturals!
I guess this now explained why I was attracted to him since the first time I saw him. Before I could try and process this into my mind that he was my mate
"No, no, no this can't be happening to me." I heard him say.
I just looked at him trying to think if I had heard him correctly and wasn't he supposed to be kissing me by now.
"I can't have a weak pathetic human like you as my mate." he continued saying to me. Those words started running in my head that he didn't want me as a human so how was he going to react when he found out I was a freaking vampire. A creature much worse to him than a human, he was going to be disgusted with me.
With those thoughts in my head I ran away from him and went straight into the woods. I did not hear him follow me which meant he didn't care.
I started to punch a strong big tree which I found with tears of blood streaming down my face.
"Why me!" I loudly shouted broken heartily to no one. Why did fate have to hate me so much?
First it was losing my mother as an infant before I could even know her, Secondly after all these years of having faith that my soulmate was going to take away the pain from me. I find that my soulmate is some werewolf prince who doesn't want me now and is going to be disgusted with me when he finds what I am.
I punched the tree so much that my knuckles were bleeding and the tree was now broken into bits and pieces.
Those broken bits and pieces also showed how I also felt inside, which was feeling broken hearted and my heart was now a shattered mess.
I then decided to just lie down on the grass and think calmly. However as I sadly stared Longley and enviously at the peaceful sky full of stars a small part of me wanted to believe that maybe he just said those things because he was just surprised.
"Maybe tomorrow he will want me." I then said to myself just trying to convince myself that.
"If he changes his mind and wants me no matter what I am then what happens?" I asked myself.
How more pathetic could my life get. Even if he decides to want me I knew that we were never going to be together because my father would never allow it. I would have to lose the throne to someone and become an outcast to my people.
I started to laugh hilariously to myself thinking that I was trying to make a guy want me, who not so long ago I was going to kill, is an immortal enemy of mine and is the child of the one who killed my own mother.
Damn I was one messed up vampire princess.
Maybe my life would have been better if I just got myself killed because right now I had nothing to live for.
My other half did not want me, my own father did not care about me but only cared about getting his revenge then killing himself afterwards to be with hi
s mate. My vampire kingdom would soon become extinct as many Vampires were getting killed in this bloody war with the werewolves.
Soon I would have no kingdom to rule if things continued like this.
I had no true friends and nobody cared or loved me. The only thing that had kept me living and passionate about life was this idea about getting my revenge through killing the werewolf prince.
I had spent all my life training and preparing for that day when I would be much stronger to kill him and watch him die.
But now knowing that the person with whom I had spent all my life trying to get my revenge on was my mate, I felt so empty, confused and uncertain about what I was now going to do with my life.
Tears were now streaming down my face as I was falling to pieces inside and I did not know how to handle this and I did not know what to feel.
I felt so lonely and was going through many emotions.
If only there was someone out there who could help me, if not then it would be a good welcome for death to claim me sooner.
Inside there was this evil tempting voice whispering to me, encouraging me to kill myself. Telling me how death would swiftly and quickly end all my troubles. All I had to do was take that piece of wood by my side and plunge it straight into my heart and it would all be over.
The voice was so persuading and tempting that I found myself using my hand to reach out and take the wood to kill myself.
Soon it would all be over, the evil voice whispered to me, as I held the wood and was about to plunge it straight to my heart and end it.
Just as I was about to do it, I was quickly slammed back by a quick vision.
I was startled by a quick vision of someone looking at me with their arms open wide, the person came near me and took my hand then whispered in a soft loving calm and comforting voice which brought peace into my heart.
“Come to me my child….come to me as when you’re weary, I will give hope. When you’re hurting I will give you rest from your burdens.”
Then I was slammed back to the present time. And I found myself throwing the piece of wood away from me and frightenedly moving back away from it. With the quick realization that I had almost killed myself, I quickly ran back home.
