Alexandra found this as a perfect means to escape her marriage. She always wished to find her mate. But, when it turned out to be King Nathan, King of the Werewolf Kingdom, her excitement died.
Years ago, King Nathan ordered for her pack to be slain just because the Alpha committed treason against him. She escaped by the skin of her teeth but lost all her friends and family.
Last month, during the annual werewolf ball, she was drawn by a sweet scent like that of dewdrops. She ran amidst gasps and was met in the middle of the ballroom by a strong pair of arms and a deep growl. In unison, they said one thing, MATE.
Her happiness was short-lived when she stepped back to find all werewolves on their knees. When she looked up at her mate, it was the King.
"Your Majesty. You..... You're my mate". She stuttered and his eyes turned red.
She was bitter but her wolf was the happiest she had ever been. As a result of her wolf's over excitement and that of the King's, the King marked her that very night, right after the ball.
Now, today was her wedding and coronation. She wasn't one bit happy but her wolf was.
Thankfully, an ancient wizard that had been harboring a grudge against the King, showed up early in the morning and ruined the feast. While everyone was busy running helter-skelter, trying to refix everything, Alexandra slipped silently into the woods and ran.
***
All the guards were on a hot chase, trying to catch the wizard. She finally ran into unknown woods. Just as she was trying to have a pin on her location, she bumped into someone and fell. They both rolled over.
"Who are you?" Alexandra stood upright and asked.
"I should be asking you that wolf. For you are on vampire grounds". The girl replied.
"Just Alexandra? You look like a bride. Are you running away from your wedding? And what's with that crown on your head?" The girl asked.
"I should be asking you that vampire".
"Wait! You're the Vampire King's bride". Alexandra said.
"And you're the Werewolf King's bride". The girl gasped.
"We're both trying to escape our wedding!" They said in unison.
"You're still on Vampire land". Alexandra said.
"Shoot! We need to get out of here now. I'm Diana by the way". The girl said.
They started running again.

Vanessa found herself slowly standing up. Her companions were still looking at her.
"Wizard. Do you think you can fool us with the looks of a woman?" The naked man said.
"Me? A wizard?" Vanessa asked, cleaning her butt.
"Mind link the offer guards that we've found the wizard". The naked man addressed the two wolves.
"Mr. I think you should get dressed first. Then we can have a proper and decent conversation". Vanessa said, rating the man up and down.
"Don't try playing smart with me. You're a man like me. You better transform back to your looks". The naked man said.
Vanessa then realized one thing. The wolves and naked man couldn't see the kneeling man. They weren't his pet, they were looking for him
"I think you must be looking for this man". Vanessa said, pointing at the kneeling man who froze over in shock.
"Are you trying to say I'm blind? I've had enough of you". The naked man said and strode over to Vanessa who dodged his grip and brushed the kneeling man with the hem of her blouse.
The naked man stopped in his tracks.
"How?"
The wizard knew it was a game up for him. He tried to disappear but couldn't. The young lady had done more than break his spell, she had rendered him powerless.
"Who are you to have taken away my magic?" The wizard shouted at Vanessa.
Vanessa heard the sound of many foots and paws and took to her heels.
She ran through woods. What had she gotten herself into? Wolves were hot on her tail. Did she run into something she wasn't supposed to discover?
She heard two footsteps approaching her from the right and she paused. She could hear the distant howling of wolves.
"Hey there! Who are you?" Two ladies about her age said, emerging from the woods. They looked like brides with crowns on their heads.
"I'm Vanessa and I'm lost in these woods with some wolves chasing after me. I just wanna find my way back to the city. Can you help me?" She said.
"Which city?"
"You're human aren't you?"
"Of course I'm human. Aren't you? Who are you?"
"I'm Alexandra". The one on green said.
"And I'm Diana". The one on red said.
"But her blood doesn't smell like human. It doesn't even smell like any supernatural". Diana said.
"And I can't pin her scent". Alexandra said, sniffing the air.
"Don't tell me you are one of those weirdos chasing me". Vanessa said, shuddering.
"Some wolves, I saw one of them turn into a man. They were searching for some wizard that was right in front of them, yet they couldn't see him. They thought I was the wizard. I finally made them see him. Now, they're hot on my tail". Vanessa said.
"If the guards couldn't see the wizard, how could she?" Diana whispered to Alexandra who shrugged.
"Well, I'm Diana like I told you. I'm supposed to be married to the Vampire King today but I don't want to marry him. So, I'm running away with a lot of Vampires chasing after me". Diana said.
"Vam...Vampires don't exist. They're myths". Vanessa stuttered.
"So you think?" Diana asked, elongating her canines, her eyes turning red.
Vanessa opened her mouth to scream but stopped halfway when they heard the howling of wolves.
"That's our queue to run". Alexandra said and they took to their heels.
"I'm Alexandra like I said earlier and I'm supposed to be married to the Werewolf King today but I don't want to and that's how we found ourselves here. All of us, running!" Alexandra said while they continued running.
"Alex. I don't think she knows what a werewolf is". Diana said.
"Oh. That wolf you saw, turning into a man is a werewolf. I'm like him". Alexandra said.
"I might faint anytime soon!" Vanessa exclaimed.
"How did you even end up here?" Diana asked.
"Through the woods". She replied.
"Alex, is there any woods that connects us with the human settlement?" Diana asked.
"None that I know of". Alexandra replied.
They bursted out of the woods and unto a beach. They were met with a sea. Waves clapping.
"There they are". They heard a man's voice in the distance.

Alexandra replied."Vanessa?"Vanessa was lost staring at the ocean and then she finally spoke up excitedly."Look, there's a ship. Jump in! Let's go". She said and rushed towards the ship. Diana and Alexandra stood bewildered, looking at her."What's wrong?" She asked them as she got down into the control room. She roared the ship to life."Everything is wrong". Alexandra answered with wide eyes."Everything was wrong from the start. But the ship has come to our aid"."The ship is what is wrong. You are not supposed to see it". Diana added."And why's that?" Vanessa asked."Because you're human. No human can see that ship, talkless of put it to life!" Alexandra exclaimed."That's ridiculous and abnormal. Of course, normality has ceased to exist in my life in the last one hour". Vanessa said and hopped back on the ship."Not just that Vanessa. Even Supernaturals like us can't ride t

Vanessa asked."Our grooms". They replied in unison.They finally got to shore and got down with their hands in the air. Vanessa spotted the naked man, now clothed."Most things are best left unknown". The wolf she had seen transform into a muscular man said."Take them away". He commanded."Yes Alpha"."Be careful with the both Queens. And the King Supreme wants the human unharmed". He added."Vanessa I think we're finished. The King Supreme wants you". Alexandra said."Don't worry. We'll be fine". Vanessa said.A man was asked to open up a portal and he did."That's a wizard".

Vanessa's POVI screamed so loud. A talking horse?Since the so called King of Supreme had left me in this cold and hunger-filled cell, I decided to sleep off. I was awoken by the sound of hooves."Whose there?" I called. The hooves paced again from front to back, scaring meJudging by the sound, it was across the corridor in the opposite cell. Do they cage horses?"Whose there?" I asked again.This time, I summoned up courage and strength despite my hungry tummy and walked to the entrance of the cell."Hello". I called again into the darkness."Seems I have a cellmate".I screamed so loud. A talking horse? This place is weird."What did you do? Who are you?

She looked so small and fragile, sitting on the huge bed in our chambers."Why did you run Andra?" I asked her."I couldn't marry you". She blurted out, tears streaming down her face. That hurt me so much."Why?" I asked, my voice breaking."But you let US mark you". I said. My wolf whimpered."Years ago, you killed my family, my friends. Everyone I ever loved and held so dear. You ordered that we all be killed". She said, sobbing."Redwood pack...." I muttered softly."Yes. Redwood pack. I escaped by the skin of my teeth. I suffered growing up. The young pup I was, I struggled for survival". She said, tearing up.I immediately rushed to sit beside her, hugging her close."I'm sorry Andra. I'm sorry".

As well as King Nathan and his Queen."How could you let your anger take the best of you Drake?" King Urano asked, after calling me aside.They had all arrived as early as possible at the break of dawn, after I had mind linked them the previous night. The Queen Supreme had almost chewed me raw, promising to kill me if Diana died."I really don't know how it happened My King. I just......" I trailed off."Dracula, you are not your father.

After my bath yesterday, he had insisted I called him by his name."I'm sorry for shutting you in that way earlier". He said, from the window where he stood backing me."When am I going back to my father?" I asked, ignoring his apology. This caused him to turn around and face me."You can't leave Vanessa. You can only visit your father but not as frequent as you'd love. You're not permitted to leave". He said, his hands stuck in the pocket of his pants."So I'm just gonna stay here? Like your prisoner?" I asked, angry."Vanessa you're it my prisoner. You're my mate. Don't you get it?" He asked."No I don't get it. Explain to me. You keep saying mate, mate, mate. Mate how?

Where was he? I rushed into the bathroom, he wasn't there. Frustrated, I went to the window."Looking for me my love?" His breath fanned my ear, his body dangerously close to mine.I turned around and looked into his eyes. At that moment, the world was complete, it made absolute total sense."Urano." I sealed our lips.Time stopped. The earth seized to spin. It was just us, a million galaxies revolving around as our lips molded into each other. After what felt like eternity, we stopped and stared into each other's eyes. Our breaths coming out short."Did you miss me that much?" "Are you kidding?? I could hardly breathe without you." He chuckled deeply." You left without telling me." I pouted." But I drop....." I cut him off."A note telling me to come downstairs for breakfast not one telli

My head didn't hurt as much as it did last night and I certainly didn't feel Star's pain as much as I did last night. Hell! It was barely there. Just a tiny piece of it flowing in the wind.I searched around, Urano was not in the room. Not even the bathroom, not the balcony. There was a note on the table in the living room.' Come to the dinning room for breakfast when you're up. Love, Urano.'"Ahh. So he left me in bed that early." I made my way to the bathroom to have a shower. The water was warm. Urano had prepared another bath for me. The scent was lavender. Smiling, I stepped into the bath tub, allowing myself soak in the water.Random thoughts began flowing into my head at the thought of Star. How was my world? How was my father? Did he tell the police I'm missing? Did he dismiss it as a runaway attempt? Ho

He looked at his sister as though a thousand machines were working in his head. Then he turned to look at me and I turned to stare at his sister. He got the information and touched his sister on the shoulder."Star". She was unmoved."Star rise". She didn't move.He turned to stare at me and we both nodded in understanding.I touched her on the shoulder and she looked up."Star rise".And she rose. She blinked and just like that, it seemed she was out of her trance."Weeeeeeeeeeeee!!!"She was on me and I was tackled to the ground. My back collided with the hard ground as well as my head. Pain seared through and I winced a bit too loudly, my eyes shut tightly.I felt the weight being lifted from me and a loud thud at the other side of the room.

Vanessa had questioned the moment they returned to the castle."That's because I was too excited about finding you and I've not heard from her in a while". Urano's strides were really long as he approached the vault."Why's that?". He turned to face her."She's in the human world".Vanessa paused in her tracks but seeing Urano was now farther away from her, she resumed her walk, almost running to catch up with him."Your sister is in the human world?" She was shocked. She thought Supremites weren't allowed to go into her world.Urano turned around on hearing her footsteps, struggling to catch up with his, and walked back to her."Yes".He swept her off her feet and carried her bridal style."I can walk yunno". She rolled her eyes."You were struggling to catch up with me. I did your legs a favor but it seems your mouth doesn't appreciate it". He looked down at her with a smirk."Should I let you down?"

He went low, allowing his long talons glide on the water before landing with a heavy thud on the bank.Vanessa slid down and he turned his large head to face her."Thank you".She told a bold step and grabbed his head. He nuzzled close to her, tickling her with his breath."You better not open your mouth to speak, lest you breathe fire on me. Wait till you get back to your human form". She chuckled and he hummed lowly as she rubbed the top of his head."Stop before you breathe fire". She laughed and stepped backwards and he stared at her with sad eyes."No way Urano!" She shook her head. "No more cuddles with a dragon. Now shift!"He grunted in disapproval but shifted nonetheless."Urano!" She screamed when she realized he was naked.She turned, backing him in the speed of light. She

Diana's blush couldn't be hidden.It seemed like forever since she got any compliment save for earlier in the morning when the Vampire King had complimented her. That, she didn't take into consideration as he was probably doing it for her to stay. She doubted the possibility of him ever changing. He was a cruel and wicked man. It saddened her."Hey honey are you okay?" Vanessa was in front of her on noticing the frown that etched Diana's features."Do you really go about calling people names meant for couples in the human world?" Diana chuckled slowly and she caught the Queen rolling her eyes."That's a very un-queenlike behavior". She pointed out."What?" Vanessa didn't even understand what the young lady in front of her was saying."What you did to your eyes I mean". She pointed at Vanessa's eyes.

We were able to trace her to the creek where we found her wedding invitations in the water. A trail of footprints led us to a tree in the woods. From there, nothing". My eyes widened when I heard the word woods."Did you just say woods? And what do you mean by 'from there nothing'?" I mimicked the cop."Sir there's nothing, no footprints to even show she returned back to the creek. It's like she vanished into thin air"."Oh God!" I breathed."I'm sorry sir. We've done the best we can but no positive result. If we do get any clues, we'll keep you updated. Do same for us and have a good day"."Have a good day". I spoke with great difficulty.I was pained.

She paused by the door, her legs crossed.Was she trying to seduce me?Well, sorry Vanessa but I'm the one playing the game here. You don't get to tease me with your body. I get to tease you whenever and however I want.I got up from the bed shirtless. I saw her eyes dart towards my chest. She inhaled sharply and looked up at me, gulping before managing to regain composure.I smirked at her and walked towards her. My lips were imprinted on her neck in beautiful red hickeys. I wonder if she wore them proudly."You look hot with just the towel. I bet you're hotter down there. I could come make you wet. What do you think?" I a
