Three hours later, Myra was surprising laughing and joking with Ashley and Gwen as they had drinks in a bar not so far from the council building.
Myra learnt that they were closer to her age than their mates. Granted she was older than them.
“God, how I wish for some alcohol right now?” Gwen mumbled, eyeing Myra drink with greater interest than any pregnant woman should have.
“You can’t, you are pregnant.” Ashley cautioned as he took the liberty to keep the alcoholic drinks away from Gwen side of the table and keep the juice flavored drinks to Gwen side.
“This is discrimination of the highest standards. Gwen griped even as she drank heavily from her cup.
“You are the first pregnant vampire I have ever seen.” Myra slurred, she needed to stop while she was ahead, she was drunk than she anticipated but then again, she was planning on burning it all away when she visited the bathroom next.
“Yep, that’s me. Making history.” Gwen replied.
“Your mate is history.” Myra snorted and the two girls looked at each other then burst into fits of giggles.
Ashley sighed. “Something which I cannot ever understand. Women when drunk. Gwen what’s your excuse.”
“Company that is not so filled with power and seriousness.” Gwen quipped.
“She is the heir of a race, just she. She will not be sharing her power with anybody, she is plenty serious and powerful too. She just isn’t showing it.”
Gwen seemed to consider his words and shrugged. “That is good enough for me.”
“I promise to always keep my seriousness away from you though I am never serious.” Myra promised.
“Second best friend forever.” Gwen smiled.
“I thought that position would go to me. Not fair.” A voice said from the entrance of the private room which they had rented to keep up with the strict protection which Vince had for Gwen.
Myra looked at the direction to see Courtney, Jessica and Vince looking at them.
“Hello guys.” Myra hiccupped.
“Whoever thought that it would be okay to leave them with a pleasure Feeder?” Courtney growled as she stalked towards her mate.
“I am not drunk.” Ashley responded. “I am watching over two of them.”
“Sure you are.” Courtney responded, checking the gaze of her mate. “His pupils is dilated, stop it.” She snaps at Myra who frowned at her.
“Ubbis might be pleasure feeders but we only gain real nourishment from sex.” Myra responded hurt at the way in which Courtney snapped at her. “Something which you definitely knew.”
“Courtney.” Vince said, in a warning tone.
“Easy for you because your mate is a female, mine is male and she is a succubus.” Courtney answered.
“And because of the reputation that we don’t mostly care, you think that I used him.” Myra said, her buzz was fading as she slowly came the realization that escaped her since she was with Ashley and Gwen. That succubus were not welcomed by others.
“Well you certainly did something to him and Gwen.” Courtney replied.
“I just lowered their inhabitations a little so we could be friends.” Myra defended herself, something which the Luminary court did not have any issue with her doing.
“So you could get information from them…” Courtney returned and would have said more but Vince cut in.
“Courtney, that’s enough.” Vince raised his voice a little. Courtney stopped talking but the damage was done.
“I would like to return to my room now.” Myra stated silently.
“Myra…” Ashley and Gwen responded but she shook her head.
“It was nice talking to you two. I guess you saw the reason why Succubus don’t relate well with others.” Myra shook her head then turned to look at Vince.
“I will not tell anybody about your mate being with child, it would not help me in any way. Tomorrow, I would be returning home too.” Myra said then teleported out of the room before they could say anything more.
*********************
A knock the next day woke Myra up and she stumbled to the door, opened it before she remembered what happened the night before when she saw Gwen standing in front of her with an uncertain smile.
“Hello Gwen.” She groaned.
“Hi Myra, would you like to have breakfast with us.” Gwen asked and when Myra frown, she rushed to add. “Just me and Vince, Courtney is not around and Vince do not have anything against your race. Courtney story would be explained to you by herself when she is ready to apologize and we will not mention anything about her to you as we eat.”
“I still would be going home today and there is no need to act like we will all enjoy this sit down which your mate wants to organize to know what I would tell my mother. We don’t even eat the same thing.” Myra responded.
“I know but still, please. Just come sit with us a little before you are ready to go home.” Gwen pleaded. “Besides, you would not want to refuse an audience with the queen right.”
“I cannot believe that you are using that card.” Myra griped, annoyed that her training so far will really not let her refuse Gwen offer because of Gwen’s position.
“If I have to.” Gwen shrugged. Myra groaned even as she shut the door in Gwen face, at least, she could have that tiny form of satisfaction.
Myra opened the door of her room, some minutes later to see Gwenn raise her eyebrow at her but she did not say anything but started walking. Myra followed her and half way, she was hit with a scent that made her want to jump the owner. She struggled to keep her instincts to herself. Signs were showing that she would be nearing her mate and she did not want to let go and attack someone in the home of people who were already prejudiced against her race. She would drag the person off and then have her ways with him.
Sweat gathered her brows as Gwen took her closer to the scent and eventually she was in front of the person who owns the scent. The person was a huge man with barely restrained brutality surrounding him. That marked him as a shifter.
The Ubbis do not mate with others except her race. She could not help the first words that came to her brain and escaped her mouth as the man seemed to grow in size as he stared at her in amazement. “You have got to be kidding me.”
Cole was shocked when he came to visit Vince, without Vince approval in his home because he just sometimes loved riling up the other rulers just as much as they love making him angry but Vince restrained himself barely from attacking Cole at the breach. He was still arguing with Vince when the scent hit him. “Mate.” He growled out unconsciously as his body tightened with tension. The only reason he did not go after the scent was because the scent was coming closer to him.“And you are here? Apparently you have more restraint than what I thought of your race.” Vince said sarcastically but he had choose the right day to make a joke like that because Cole would not shift his attention away from the door, even to glare at Vince for his words. “That is because she is coming this way.” Cole responded, his teeth had already partially shifted to that of his wolf. Vince sniffed the air and only scent his mate and the succubus on their way. “Oh hell.” Vince whispered. “What?” Cole growled.
“What are you doing here?” Myra asked, her tone all confrontational. “Err, looking for you.” Cole replied like it was the dumbest question ever which Myra should know because mates are rarely separated during the first few weeks since their mating and it applied to all races. “Shouldn’t you be still sleeping?” Myra asked, swallowing air loudly when Cole walked to her, the same way he did when she was ranting. Like he was on a hunt and she was his prey. “You only wore me out because that’s my first time, don’t count on it again.” He growled leaning into her space while Myra seemed to watch him transfixed. “I would have never suspected that The Were king was a virgin.” Vince whispered loudly just to rib Cole who stared at his vampire counterpart out of the corner of his eyes. “First time with a Succubus, don’t act like my words mean anything else besides why are you having some inane pleasure from this, what are you? Twelve?” Cole asked Vince who shrugged. “It is annoying you so I
Cole walked into the study where the vampire councils, also known as the primordials of the vampire race all stood in while Vince made a call. “I understand that it is the practice of your people but surely you can revise. She is the mate of the Were king.”“That is good Sir.” A male voice replied. “She would still be queen, just not of the race she was trained to rule.” “But being banished, that is too far. I was not aware of this.” Vince grated. “Each race has their customs and this is one of our most upheld ones, it is not yours to be aware of so please I suggest that you leave this issue alone, Myra would understand.” The voice replied. “This is ridiculous Lord Stan, why am I speaking you. I demand to be on call with the queen.” Vince gave a growl that would make any shifter appreciative of the finesse used. “The queen is indisposed as of the moment but I will tell her you call so she can give you a call when she can.” Lord Stan answered and then ended the call. “He just end
If there was one thing that Myra hates, it was when someone was trying to intimidate her, she was used to power plays and had enough diplomacy training behind her to know that this woman was the one in wrong already. “A guest for now, you?” Myra asked, shifting back, unwilling to start a fight without her knowing the person and she was uncomfortable with someone being in her space, of course the only person she allow that was Cole and it was purely because he was her mate.“A high ranking member of this pack, soon to be future Luna. Now I know for a fact that you are not one of us and might just be a follower of power since it was all it took for you to open your legs…” The woman started ranting. “Are you sure you want to say those words to me, they seem like fighting words and I will not be held responsible for my reactions to them.” I warned because I was always fair in trashing my opponents and she deserved the warning because she was getting close to my retaliate-no-matter-what
Myra looked around the room as Cole talked about how she should be respected since she was his mate and she took all the expressions in. These wolves were not happy with the fact that she was the mate of their king. Just as she suspected, she was not going to be welcomed any time soon but then again, she did not have a choice because she had no other place to go. “My king, pardon me for asking but are you sure?” One of the men asked and Cole was not the only one who looked at the man like he was drunk. “No, think about it.” The man defended himself. “She is a Succubus, how are we certain that she did not place him under a spell.” Cole pinned the man with his gaze and before he could deal with the man for suggesting something so baseless. Myra held his arm. “I don’t need to tell you that Succubus don’t do spells. But we can place someone in a thralldom, seeing how dangerous it is, I have never practiced that part of me but I can if you volunteer.” Myra suggested and just as she knew
Cole signed as he was brought a dispute between two pride packs, a dispute that he had managed to put off for years, telling the packs that it was the job of their queen to settle something that complicated and that since he was without one, they would have to wait until he had his mate and now he did but Brett was still bringing the case to him. “I thought I have a Queen to settle this now?” Cole said, looking from Brett to the two prides standing in front of him. “It was his idea to bring it to you once more.” One of them explained, pointing at his second. Cole turned to look at his second with raised brow and his second mind linked him instead. *trust me when I say that it is better you handle this yourself than to leave the issue in the hands of your bloodthirsty mate. These two would leave this place happy only to go back to their lands and prepare for war between themselves because she gave them the go ahead.**She surely cannot be that bad.* Cole rolled his eyes at Brett.
The number of people coming to wish Cole a happy mated life, reduced to a fickle within weeks as majority of the well wishes came through mail, that was something which he could count on Myra to organize because she was more pleasant when writing and dealing with issues than when she was physically dealing with issues.And that was when Vince called Cole. “What wrong?” Cole asked when he picked up. “Nothing but I am teleporting to your office. Wanted to give you the heads up.” Vince replied. “Hell…” Cole started to protest but the call ended and within seconds, Vince was standing in front of him. “No. Why would you do that, I could be with Myra here for all you knew and you know that I don’t like it when you teleport into my pack.” Cole growled at Vince who raised an eyebrow at him. “You sound like you are not the one who ‘traipse’ all over my settlements and into my home unannounced, did you forget that was how your met your mate two months ago?” Vince raised an eyebrow. “You c
He should have added that part of the testiness he was going to be feeling would be coming from his mate. She was worried and fretting with everything and everybody in his pack stood watching her and she straightened and straightened again an ornament before she moved to another minor detail that Cole did not even knew he had. “I thought she had an amazing relationship with her mother?” Drew asked Cole, Cole had been staying away from his third and rarely involved him in things which he does not have to. The most being his mate, while Brett was aware of the full story between his mate and her mother, Drew came up with his conclusions based on general knowledge and assume that it was true and Cole didn’t do anything to correct his conclusions and now, since the question was direct, he had to provide an answer to satisfy Drew, the very last thing he wanted to do.“She does but it is complicated.” Cole responded, just because he had to supply an answer doesn’t mean he would do it as soo
