DAMON POV
I'm a queen's Protector and good at the job. I've served my purpose till Queen Anya died. It's time for Aurora to take her place as Queen however, she left the pack five years ago and I'm yet to tell her the truth about her identity.
Times have been dark at the royal clan and there is an uprising, some members want to put another Queen, Mateia, she is ruthless and will want a war with the werewolves. Jasper, a friend of mine walks into the office, beaming;" Aurora Wulfric is in Canada, doing a run-walk. I think it's time to tell her everything," He advises. I haven't seen her in over five years and even though I miss her, I felt so guilty to look her in the eyes and tell her that the reason she didn't get her wolf early was that she was half vampire. I saw her cry and be bullied for not having a wolf. People called her a freak because she had powers but it wasn't the right time to tell her.I look at recent pictures of her, she has grown to be an attractive woman. Her golden skin is flawless and her green eyes make it impossible to look away from her. " I don't know, man, all this will be too much for her," I mumble. Jasper gives me a what fuck look. " The Clan Elders are tired of waiting and they will choose Mateia as Queen if she does come back home to take her place," He brutally reminds me.The clan Elders are the oldest and strongest members of the Clan, they are seven, and each leads a group of vampires but they answer to a Queen.
" You are right, I need to tell her the truth about who she is." I get up from my seat but he has a look of confusion on his face. " Jas, what is it?" " I did some investigation and learned that she is involved with some dangerous people and she changes her identity in every city she goes to," I was aware that Aurora was into something shady, and I tried to talk to her about it over the phone but she only shut me out. Frowning, I leave the office to the private hangar. I was nervous to see her but it had to be done.A few hours later, we arrive in Canada and head straight to her show. As the show starts, I feel uncomfortable, seeing that all the women are walking in Lingeries. Aurora walks out and my breath gets caught in my chest, she's easily the most beautiful woman in the world and she is walking with grace and confidence, the camera and people all adore her." Damn, she's hot as fuck," Jasper hisses in my ear, gripping his chair tightly and a sting of possessiveness comes over me. What is this feeling I'm experiencing? I clear my head as the softness of her lips invades my head. An hour later, the show comes to an end and we go to the hotel she's staying at. Puffing in and out of my lungs, I knock. However, there is no answer and I see a manager. " Jasper we need a card," I say, " Allow me, I'm quite famished and can use a snack," I grip his jacket, warning him with my eyes not to do anything stupid. Jasper is a new vampire so he can't contain his appetite for now. " Fine, I'll just flirt, you're no fun," He growls, walking away. I move closer to the railing as I wait for Jasper. He's back a few minutes later smiling. I get the card from his hand and open the door. The suit smells of booze and weed, we look for her but don't find her. RingI go to the balcony, answering the call when I hear noises from the bedroom, I rush there and find Jasper, pinned against the wall, Aurora putting a gun at his head. " Aurora," I whisper. She turns to look at me, still holding Jasper in a tight grip" Damon, what are you doing here?" She stutters, “Can you let go now, please? am with him,” Jasper groans.“Oh, sorry “ The princess mutters and gets off him. A smile appears on her lips and tears dance in her eyes, I open my arms for her, and she runs into them. I hold her tightly for a few minutes as she is refusing to part.
After exchanging pleasantries, we go to the living area where we sit. " So what made you come, did you miss me that much?" She smiles beautifully. For a second, my gaze is fixed on her. Mesmerized by her overwhelming beauty. Jasper nudges me and I tear my gaze from the princess. " I have something to tell you," I start. Her smile disappears at the seriousness in my tone and she nods me to go ahead. " Aurora, your parents kept a huge secret from you," Her eyes twitch and I continue " Your biological mom was the vampire Queen," Her facial expression morphs into a shock, " You're kidding right?" I shake my head negatively. " I... It can't be true. I know my mother," " Aurora, the woman who raised you was your stepmother, your father's mate. Your memories were erased at the age of seven when the vampire clan was attacked by an evil witch who wanted your powers,"I tell her everything about her hierarchy, how her powers were blocked by the good witch so that the evil one doesn't sense her and she's crying for good now. " Your father happen to be hunting in the forest when she met Queen Anya, they fell madly in love but their love was forbidden so they kept it a secret. You were a product of their forbidden passion and your mom raised you with love," She smiles through her tears. " Queen Anya and your father continued their relationship and rejected many suitors for him, but when your father found his mate, he didn't do the same. Bitter, she completely cut ties with the alpha and forbade him from the clan even to see you. Alpha Jeff was persistent to see you and she finally agreed,"" Tell me more, I want to know what happened," " Well, one day, a witch joined forces with a high-ranking elder your mom rejected and attacked the castle, both had different agendas and the only way to save you from them was to give you to your father and lived as a member of the pack, it happened but you used to cry a lot and wanting to back home so, a witch, Sharon, erased your memories of the vampire clan," I conclude, it felt good telling her all that. " What about the Quee, Um, my... my mother," I hesitate, not knowing how to tell her that she died in battle to protect her. Tears roll down her face, knowing what happened, and my heart clenched.“Why didn’t dad tell me anything? We were so close,” she croaks.
“He was protecting you, the clan wasn't safe but it is now, thanks to your mother's great sacrifice, the evil witch is in more like a coma
as she couldn't be killed because of a portion she used. " Where's the witch?" I ask" Someone stole her body," She nods and keeps quiet.“Anya,” she whispers her mother's name with a soft smile on her lips.For the next three days, I continued to educate her about the clans and tell her more about her powers. Once she shifts into her wolf form, they will unlock, for now, she can only access them when she's very emotional or angry. " Wait, wait, I have a dragon?" She asks in shock. I smile and nod positively. About a century ago, the queen rescued a dragon clan from dark vultures, and her good deeds were repaid by the dragon gods, they blessed her bloodline with the dragon, so when a royal was pregnant, a dragon egg was found. " Yes, the dragon egg appeared even before your mother knew she was pregnant but since your abilities are locked away, for now, it won't be able to recognize you and can't tame it hence we shall wait till you get to your full potential before unlocking it from its lair," I explain and show her pictures of her sleeping dragon. The princess smile; " She's pretty," She whispers. While Aurora continued to work for this organization called Kill before her contract was terminated, I kept in touch all while preparing the clan for the arrival of their princess. Most of them were happy but some were angry that a hybrid will be queen instead of a full vampire. Mateia had already started to get people on her side but all her attempts were futile. She was unnumbered and Princess Aurora had the birthright and the blessed blood on her side so, for now, she stopped.My romantic feelings were escalating especially now that we talked every day but she was to be my Queen, so I shoved my feelings aside. She will need to find her mate to shift into her wolf.Aurora PovI woke up excited, my contract with the kill was over and I was ready to go home and take my place as Princess of Vampires and heir to the throne. I was so nervous, worry was gripping my heart as the time drew closer. Will they accept me because I was a half-werewolf? I walked closer to Alberto's office when I heard him talking to one of the scientists who have been taking and experimenting on my blood, sometimes even on me. " Those creatures we created are too dangerous for the world, we need to destroy them now!" the frail voice spoke. " No, we will keep them and use them as weapons against the supernaturals, they have reigned too long," I heard Alberto's voice and my heart thumped in my chest. I knew he was working on a huge secret project but I didn't know he was making weapons to destroy my kind. I was failing to breathe as the two men discussed how well to use them. No, I won't let these selfish bastards destroy my people" I don't think Aurora will appreciate usin
Xavier Stormcold Pov I have been looking for my mate for five years now and I'm getting desperate. I found her when she was only sixteen years old at the club and it pleased me to learn that it was the girl I fall in love with in my childhood. Aurora did not recognize me as her mate but the pull was so strong and we had the most passionate night. I slept relaxing in her intoxicating scent but she left me and ever since, we've been searching. My name is Xavier Stormcold and I'm the alpha to the largest and strongest territory in the city. “So what do you think about the expansion brother?” My little brother, Alexander asks. “What?"“You weren’t listening again," I get up " Do whatever you think is best, dismissed everyone," The men go and I stand against the glass wall, watching the city. " We'll find her," My beta, Michigan assures me. It's what they have been telling me but it's been five fucking years already and nothing, I can feel that she is alive and I sense that she is in
After resting I go downstairs, usually, the castle is quiet and I only find Damon there, he's wearing his usual dark ensemble and looking hot with a beer in hand. I approach him on the veranda. He offers me a beer and we drink. " I missed you, Damon," I whisper, suddenly. He gives me a tiny smile and answers " I've thought about you for years and each day was excruciating knowing you are somewhere that is not your home, it's good to have you back," I surprised him by kissing him on the lips and he did not reject me. He kissed me back fiercely and hoisted me in his arms. " I want you," I murmured. He nods and uses his speed to take me to his room. He lays me on the bed and discards our clothes. Damon kisses and sucks my breast, making me moan. He positions himself at my entrance and thrusts his hard erection in me so hard that I scream in pleasure. His movements are so hot and turning me on more. He pumps back and forth, and our moans fill the room, switching in every possible pos
As soon as those words are said, all hell broke loose and we heard gunshots and screams. While Xavier shouted orders around, Damon carried me out of there. Men in uniform I recognized as the KILL soldiers came out of trucks, Fuck, did they find me? What are they doing here? Before we got to the car, Jasper was sent flying to the nearest wall by the woman he was dancing with and huge wolves appeared to fight Damon, the vampires are strong and part of the Queen's guard but they were outnumbered. Jasper hit the woman he was making with but she was a fighter and shifted into a dark grey wolf and wolf with the same colored fur as her but bigger, pinned him to the ground, ready to rip him apart. Damon was still fighting the wolves, the vampire guardian did well but unfortunately, he was outnumbered. " Enough with the fighting," A voice that spoke sent chills down my body. " Alpha Xavier, why are your men attacking us?" Snarls Damon. My vision goes to the mighty Alpha. " You have somethi
I was hearing voices but I couldn't open my eyes. They were discussing the crescent birthmark on my wrist, a mark that shows I'm vampire royalty. " She's beautiful, like some barbie doll," A voice spoke. I hear it often, maybe she's a nurse. The beeping was so annoying, I tried my hardest to open my eyes but it was futile. Warm fingers trailed my arms and when he spoke, my heartbeat accelerated. Making the beeping machine louder. " She is reacting to your presence even in that state,"My eyes fluttered open and they met the most intimidating man in the universe. Xavier Stormcold.The whole world fell away and it was only us in the room, I looked into his stunning eyes and my hands twitched to touch him. ' Mate, mate, mate,' A voice in my head chanted. I finally got my wolf. I was ecstatic. She was wiggling her tail in happiness, my wolf was in awe of the alpha and I could feel that she was a strong alpha female. When Xavier realizes that my wolf was talking to me, a slight smile mak
"You're not rejecting me, Aurora. I won't allow it," He whispers and turn on his feet, walking away swiftly and Michigan following behind. I watch the door close with a dumbfounded expression on my face. Gabi comes to occupy the space her alpha was in and starts to check my temperature. " You look a little pale. You need to rest luna," I was still in shock. Alexander who was standing against the wall walks to me and caressed my hair fondly. " You're special to him, Aurora that's why he can't let you go. What Xavier cares for, he protects and refuses to let go," Saying those words, he leaves the room. I closed my eyes and slept. I woke up the next day feeling the sunshine on my face, I took time to look at the room, it was huge with glass walls that gave the perfect view of the city. There was a huge tv, a sofa huge across the bed, and two adjoining doors that led to the balcony. The room was cozy and smelt like my mate even though I can't exactly point out what it is.Xavier came t
I was determined to go out and it was the perfect time since Gaby had gone away for a meeting and she will return the next day, I got ready in the prettiest black revealing dress and heels, carried my bag, and walked downstairs. After an hour, I managed to convince Zel to release me but he insisted to go with me, and surprisingly, the code to the door is my birthday. He tells me that they are guards around the building watching me as per Xavier's orders so we have to do it carefully and should be back before midnight. It was a hustle but we managed to get into the car and I drove us to the closest club in the city. I thrived in places like this, the door bouncer didn't even wait for a second to let me in. As the beta's brother, Zel is respected and feared and no one seemed to mind that he was in his wolf form.I went to the club and ordered a drink, I was careful not to use any of my cards because the KILL might trace me, getting tipsy, I went to the dance floor where I danced my s
I woke up in Xavier's apartment, he was not around and Zel was the one watching me.I hesitated to leave, hoping he'd come back but didn't. Reaching my apartment in the afternoons, I found a fuming Gaby. She kept scolding us for leaving the way we did and remind us how dangerous it was. A whole week went by, and I neither saw or talk to Xavier. I missed me him so much and I often thought about him. I'm in the Living room, singing with the new mic and music box Gaby bought me. That's how bored I am , I only sang. Zel and Gaby are watching me. Gaby stands up to go to the door, and later comes back, following behind her are Alexander and Michigan walk into the room, carrying boxes of pizza, “Room for us?” Alexander asks. “ We come bearing gifts,” Michigan raises a bottle.My mate's scent hits me hard and my wolf, Aura, is jumping for joy. Xavier's scent alone is making us go crazy before he even enters the room! My mate enters the room, wearing simple Jeans and a black shirt, he looks
