“I guess the fact that Emily was a fated mate, that I claimed, is what made it different,” Deacon explained. “Why do you ask?”“Just making small talk,” Jessica said.“No, no. You are not getting off that easy,” Deacon chuckled.Jessica could not find the right words, so chose to say nothing.“Seriously? You are not going to elaborate?” Deacon chuckled.“Perhaps another time,” Jessica chuckled and pulled her knees up to her chin, wrapping her arms around her legs. “We should have gotten vampires to take us.”“What do you feel right now?” Deacon questioned.“What do you mean? Us?” Jessica misunderstood him.“I mean, do you have any feeling that Lestat is still in trouble?” Deacon questioned.“Oh,” Jessica said and focused on Lestat. “Nothing.”“Michael and Wynn should be there soon enough,” Deacon said, and put his foot on the gas.“I just don’t know what Lestat’s connection is with Torvald,” Jessica said.“Have you considered the fact that a spell was used to fate you to Lestat?” Deac
Michael left the compound when the shamans started to unravel Ondrink’s spell. He went to the beach where he left Ann, and take her back to varsity. When he couldn’t find her on the beach, he feared the worst and scanned the waters. He spotted her and swam over to her, grabbing her around her waist, giving her a fright.“What the hell are you doing?” Michael exclaimed.“What does it look like I am doing?” Ann tried to get out of his arms.***Paris searched all night for Ann and when he could not find her, he went to the beach he made loved to her to watch the sunrise as he wanted to do it so many times before with her. In the water, he noticed Ann and Michael.‘I guess she never really loved me,’ Paris thought, feeling his heart break as he sped off.***“Let me take you back to varsity,” Michael said to Ann.“I don’t want to go back,” Ann said as fresh tears filled her eyes.“Well, you can’t stay here,” Michael said, wishing Ann felt the way she did over Paris about him.“Why not,”
The girls arrived in class and took their usual seats. Ann took it upon herself to send Deacon and Wynn text messages to make sure they are aware that Jessica is alive and well and in class.Ann also informed Jessica’s very worried parents, Juno and Jovita, and her own parents, that was also up to speed with everything that was going on.“Your father is still not back. He is searching for Eero,” Ann’s mother texted her back.‘Poor Eero. I wonder where he is,’ Ann thought and put her phone away.***News of Jessica being at varsity changed everyone’s plans and thirty minutes later Wynn, Deacon, Juno, Jovita, and Michael were in class.Deacon walked straight over to Jessica and grabbed her by her arm, pulling her out of her chair. “Come with me,” Deacon said.“Hey, you are hurting me!” Jessica protested.“Good morning class. I see everyone has decided to attend today,” Lestat said, walking into class and bringing Deacon to a halt. All the supernatural looked shocked.“I saw him die with
After class, that day, Deacon, Juno, and Jovita forced Jessica into a meeting at the higher council.“I have assignments to catch up on,” Jessica protested as they walked into the lycan throne room.“Where have you been this past week?” Deacon questioned.“Did Torvald hurt you?” Jovita questioned.“What did he do to you?” Juna questioned.“I don’t know,” Jessica answered, pointing at Deacon. “No, he did not,” Jessica answered, pointing at Jovita. “Nothing,” she answered, pointing at Juno. “The last thing I remember was Lestat dying. When I woke up this morning, I thought it was a dream but when Ann told me I was gone for a week, I realized it was not a dream.”“Why would Torvald abduct you only to return you after a week without a word?” Deacon questioned.“How should I know?” Jessica spat. “Can I go now?”“Not so fast,” Deacon stopped her from walking away.“Ondrink will join us shortly to perform the fated mate spell again so that you can claim me as your forever mate,” Deacon said,
Wynn walked into the lycan throne room and saw a few royals standing around. All Deacon’s brothers were there and Ondrink, whom he almost didn’t recognize.“Ondrink, I would have not known it is you if I did not know you many years ago,” Wynn greeted, looking at a young Ondrink that looked as young as everyone else.“Wynn,” Ondrink shook his hand. Ondrink’s hair was long, no longer grey but dark, and his native appearance appealing.“What happened to you?” Wynn questioned as the last time he saw Ondrink he was growing old to leave this life.“Prehistoric vampires,” Ondrink said.“I am confused,” Wynn said, looking at Deacon that was just as surprised as him.“Now that Wynn has arrived,” Ondrink said and looked over at Jessica, disappointed that they did not fate to one another again, “we shall begin.”Ondrink put his warbonnet, which was made out of snow-owl feathers, onto his head.“Let me geuss, you were hoping that Jessica and Wynn fate again?” Deacon chuckled. “Well, Wynn is fated
On their way out of the castle, Wynn explained to Deacon what transpired between Ami and himself and why they were unmated.“So, what now?” Deacon questioned.“Between Ami and me? Nothing. She is carrying Eero’s kid,” Wynn said.“And your feelings for her?” Deacon wondered.“Well, I have always had a soft spot for both of them, especially Ami. I should have rejected the moment we fated instead of jumping into bed with her. Our relationship will never be the same,” Wynn said, regretting his decisions.“There is something you should know,” Deacon said, remembering the contents of Lauturi’s letter.“What?” Wynn questioned.“Not here. The walls have ears,” Deacon said, and led Wynn out of the castle.They walked for a bit before Deacon explained. “A vampire can become a day walker by robbing a hunter or the offspring of a hunter; half-bloods included, of their heart and putting it where their own heart used to be.”“That is how Paris became a day walker?” Wynn questioned, not believing th
Paris looked at Ann and felt he was taking her for a fool. “What?” Ann asked. “You took him to the beach where we made love, Ann.” Paris said. “I did not,” Ann denied it. Paris sighed and shook his head. He walked towards the door to leave, but Ann grabbed him and forced a kiss on him. “What are you doing?” Paris questioned, holding her at arm’s length. “Drink my blood and you will see that I love you! It has always been only you!” Ann cried. “Then you shouldn’t have been so quick to belief Michael,” Paris said and sped off before Ann could get out another word. Paris wanted Ann so badly. He wanted to kiss her again and again, but he didn’t want to get hurt again and felt she was not honest with him. *** When Jessica left the dorm room to give Paris and Ann some space, Wynn picked her up and sped her over to the higher council against her will. “The two of you stay here until you kiss and makeup!” Wynn compelled them after quickly removing their shaman necklaces, leaving the
“You seem in a good mood,” Ami remarked when her mother, Queen Amirah, checked up on her.“I am,” Queen Amirah said with a smile and wondered if Ami could smell Wynn on her. ‘Hopefully not. I did shower,’ she thought and pulled up a chair.‘Perhaps she does not know that Eero is on his way,’ Ami thought and wondered where Eero was.‘Any news on Eero? You said he was on his way, hours ago,’ Ami mind linked Wynn, fearing that Eero will show up while her mother was around.‘He is at the council. Probably sleeping his drunk ass off,’ Wynn said.“Mom, I would like to take a bath,” Ami asked her mom to help her to the bathroom.After a bath, Queen Amirah helped Ami to blow out her hair and lend her an arm for support as they walked to the living room.“Someone had sex in here,” Ami remarked when she sat down on the sofa that Wynn and her mother had sex on.“You know how it goes. Supernatural has no respect,” Queen Amirah choked and walked over to the large windows to open a few.“Have Wynn
