Easton Lemire:-
I was pacing in the room here and there running my fingers in my hair worried for my mate. I knew from the start that she isn't simple that's why I asked that bastard to hand me over his daughter to me because he won't be able to handle her after she reaches the age of eighteen. I was keeping an eye on Minerva for the past good year.
The day she was brought here wasn't the first time I saw her. I saw her way before and my mind screamed mate. I begin to follow her everywhere and did some digging about her. Whenever I was close to her I felt a strong power in her so I asked one of my witch friends to help me figure it out. She took almost three months to find out about Minerva and told me my mate may look like a normal human being but she is far from it. She has got strange powers in her that will be revealed when she is eighteen but dammit. She is not eighteen yet.
"This is not gonna happen anytime soon," I murmured with pure stress visible on my face. She is still 17 and she is in danger. Her powers are activating too soon. I have to keep an eye on her." I looked at Felicity who was holding Minerva's hand to check her pulse " Felicity, you can't be my mistress anymore but you can be Minerva's personal bodyguard. You will keep her safe for me, okay?"
"Okay, your highness. I understand." Felicity replied with respect in her voice " Your highness. She is not ordinary."
" Yes, she is not but we can't let her know anything about it. Or anyone else. You got that because if anyone comes to know about it you will be the first one to die with my hands. You understand?" I asked in a dangerously stern tone.
" Yes," Felicity replied.
I looked at Minerva again and begin to worry ten times more for her. I was thinking of how to keep her powers suppressed for the time being so, that her life remains out of danger. I will ask every staff member and every person from my kingdom not to make his mate angry or do anything that can make her lose control. Her anger is the key to her powers. I gathered that much because her powers activated when she got out of control in her anger and that is my fault but I didn't know the result will lead to this.
I saw Minerva wake up on my bed holding the back of her head and let out a groan. I can read minds so I got inside of her mind. She was trying her very best to remember what happened to her after I made her angry and how her hands started to blow out fire in the shape of a fireball and then she remembered passing out on the floor."
"What is going on with me? I feel strange and yet powerful somehow. What is happening to me?" Minerva asked with a frown on her face.
"Nothing is going on with you. You are totally fine, my love." I replied to Minerva politely making her groan and roll her beautiful eyes.
"You are lying Easton tell me the truth what is this all about. I can sense you lying. You are transparent to me and I know you know so many things more than I know about myself so for fuck's sake tell me the truth." Minerva shouted to me.
"I remember seeing something. I felt like or more like saw my hands were burning with fire and I felt totally hot and overwhelmed by fire from my head to toe. I cannot exactly remember what happened to me but I did know that something is going on with me." Minerva grunted.
"You are totally fine. Nothing is wrong with you. You are just hallucinating that's all, mi Reina" I lied to her making her angrier than before.
"I don't believe anything you said even I don't know that if you are telling the truth or not," Minerva snapped at me furiously.
"If you don't believe me then you can ask Felicity.She was there when all this happened. "Felicity, please tell Minerva that there is nothing to worry about she is all good. Nothing is wrong with her." I looked at Felicity who understood what I am trying to do and played along.
"Yes! I was with you, Minerva. If you remember we came back from shopping and then you got fainted due to the stress you took when Easton told you that you are more indebted to him from earlier when you burnt out the cash. The other things you are seeing or feeling were not real. That is your mind is playing games on you." Felicity tried to explain to Minerva.
"But all of it felt real. Like it happened in real with me because I can feel my body temperature warmer than before. I don't know what to believe right now. I am just fucking confused." Minerva shouted.
"This is all because of you jerk." Minerva yelled at me "I was living my life peacefully but because my asshole of a father had to pay the debt of yours. And, to pay his fucking debts he sacrificed his own daughter and since then my life becomes a living hell. Nothing feels normal anymore" Minerva said angrily and left the room stomping her feet angrily.
"We have to distract her so she can't focus on this scenario anymore. If she found the truth any other way she will be in danger and I can't let that happen to my mate." I said to Felicity.
" I know but what are we gonna do at this stage? She is not listening to anyone she is confused and doesn't know what to do. We should think of something to distract her" Felicity said looking at the door from where Minerva walked out.
"I know how to distract her at this moment. I am going take out Minerva on a date with me so that she stops thinking about all this." I inform when Felicity gave me a look " What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
" She is not eighteen yet and if you take her out with you on a date people will think so you going out with her is out of the option now. Think of something else." she replied, " She is still underage which you are definitely not."
" What do you suggest?" I ask with a raised brow and saw her grin with an idea.
"Leave it up to me, your highness. Right now you need to go after her. We don't want her to lose control now. Do we?" Felicity asked " Trust me. I will make everything magical for you and her."
" Why are you being so nice to me after I asked to that you are not going to be my mistress anymore? Don't you have got a little bit feelings for me?" I ask confused.
" Not a single bit your highness because I am waiting for my mate to show up but you have found yours but have to wait a few more days to claim her as yours. She will be the Queen of the Vampires." Felicity replied.
" She will be more than that, Felicity. She is powerful than us." I tell her and let out a heavy breathe " Need to find a right person to give me knowledge about her hidden powers."
Minerva Cole:- I was sitting and crying in the garden of the palace looking at my hands and trying to remember what happened earlier but everything was in a blur. I felt like my brain will explode with all this thinking or any vein of my will pop out. I was breathing heavily trying to control the temperature of my body but it was of no use until I felt a black shadow pass around me then vanish. " W..who...Who is there?" I asked looking around but fortunately, I was feeling a little better and calm since I wasn't feeling hot anymore. I felt a presence behind me and formed a fist ready t punch who was behind me when one strong hand stopped me. " Hey, relax. It's just me. I came here to see how are you feeling now?" Easton said in a soft voice with a slight smile on his face. I don't know why I always began to feel so many emotions and feelings I have never felt before. I know I need to run away from him. He is a vampire and a danger to me and y
Minerva Cole:- "Why are you not telling me all the stuff that is going on with me now? I want to know what the hell is happening to me. Why do you want to tell me after I turn eighteen? Is this necessary to get to know about the stuff when I become eighteen years old"? I bombarded Easton with questions in anger. "You will get to know everything just wait for the right time, my love. You will know all the things. They are a little bit complicated and for that complications to understand you have to be eighteen years old and strong. I want to tell you everything right now but I don't wanna take any risk. You mean something to me love but you just don't know it yet but very soon you will. I will make sure of that.". Easton tells me in a gentle and soft tone to me and placed a kiss on my forehead. "Ok, I will drop this topic for now but I would want to know at some point. There are a lot of thoughts going in my mind at the moment." I sighed
Minerva Cole:- We reached our destination after fifteen minutes of the drive at Central Park. Easton parked the car and like a gentleman he was, he helped me get out of the car. Once I was out he locked the car with the remote and wrapped his arms around my waist in a possessive hold like he was trying to mark his territory to everyone around. " Why is your grip on me a little bit tight? Like you are trying to mark your territory." I ask shaking my head with an amused expression " Because you are so beautiful and look very appealing. I don't want any other men to look at you except for me. You are mine. Did you get that? You belong to me?" Easton asked possessively. " Yes, I understand. I am you're for three months." I replied rolling my eyes " Once the debt is clear I am good to go and then I won't belong to anyone except for me." I added. " Oh, trust me. After your eighteenth birthday, you will say something else, Mi Reina." Easton chuckled
Minerva Cole:- " Mate? Like soulmates?" I ask confused. " You can say that. Yeah, as in soulmates. We supernatural have got destined mates that we share a special connection with and we get possessive, over-protective, and caring instantly when we find them. Not just that we fell in love with them instantly." he explains " Everyone finds their mate after they turn eighteen." " Then why didn't you find it?" I ask confused. " I found her now. She is sitting in front of me. You are my destined mate, Mi Reina." Easton replies with the biggest smile on his face " You know all these five hundred years of my life I thought of myself as unlucky and always cursed myself but you know I felt really grateful and the happiest man or should I say vampire alive when I saw you for the first time when you were stepping out of the coffee shop. It was like my whole world stopped and fell into your feet. I was taken by a thunderbolt. My heart was beating rapidly fast. My mind was creaming me to run an
Easton Lemerie:-A few days later:-“ I will kill all of you if the decoration is not to my woman’s level. I want everything to perfection. Today is my woman’s big day. Today, she will turn eighteen and finally I can claim her as mine. My mate” I barked ordered at the event planners.“ Don’t worry Mr. Lemerie. Everything will be just to yours and your woman’s liking.” The owner of the event planner assured me.“It better be or I will make sure to ruin you and your business.” I snapped and headed to the room of my new modern mansion that I bought for Minerva as her birthday gift. When I first saw her my heart began to beat fast and I heard voices in my mind. Mate.Mate. And, that was the day, I lost myself in her beauty, and don’t get me talking about her smart mouth. She has me wrapped around her finger the same day she came here.I hav
Minerva Cole:- (Few hours earlier before Easton finds out about MInerva fainiting) " Jordan, will you please wait here while I go and try on few of these dresses and find the perfect one to wear?" I ask Jordan. " Ok, your highness. I will wait right here. Take your time. If anything happens or you feel like something is off just call my name and I will be here in a flash." Jordan replied with a polite smile. Somehow Hordan and I were getting along because this man can be scary and rude sometime but he has got a heart of gold and he is one loyal guard to Easton and I kind of love it that how protective he is for his master. " Thank you, Jordan. But, I don't think so there will be any problem inside the trial room. By the way, what is the occassion for giving me a makeover and hairdo?" I ask " I know it's mybirthday but I don't think so it is just because of my birthday because no one will d this much fr me on my birthday. My birthday has always been dull or maybe because I never had
Easton:- Once I reached the shopping mall, I ran directly to the trying room with my inhuman speed where I found Jordan holding Minerva with a worried expression. Once he looked at me, he let go of her and bowed in front of me respectfully while I just go for my woman and picked her up from the floor with dead concerned expression on my face. I rested her head on my lap and stroked her hair and cheek in a caring manner and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes that were coming from her eyes even in her unconscious way. I wiped her tears away gently with my watery eyes as I saw my hands began to shake in fear of something happening to her. “Your excellency, are you alright?” Jordan asked carefully and concerned at the same time. “ What happened? Tell me in detail.” I asked with gritted teeth “I sent you with her to keep her safe and protected. That’s how you keep her safe and protected? That’s how you protect your queen?” I yelled out th
As soon as I entered the store, I found my mate lying on the soft cushioned couch with her eyes closed looking pretty in her pink dress and her hair opened up in curls. The tears began to form in my eyes which I quickly wiped away because a king never cries but this queen is making this king weak and I can’t show my weakness to anyone or they will use it against me.I smiled as I saw my mate wearing the same dress that I imagined her into. The baby pink one. This color enhances her beauty more than ever. I get down on my knees in front of her and rubbed my thumb against her soft left cheek and took her hand in mine to caress.“Mi Reina, please wake up. Don’t you want to show me and celebrate your eighteenth birthday?” I asked Minerva “Please, wake up and tell me what happened to you and I will make everything right for you. I give you my word that whoever did this will pay. Please, you just wake up for me.“What.happened.to.her?” I demanded everyone available in the store with gritted
