His eyes crinkle as I see him smile widely for the first time. Why does he look so darn attractive? I'm loving the moment, but when I realized harshly that he asked me to indirectly rub myself on his back, nothing has triggered me more than this. I don't realise that I throw the helmet in his direction, he catches it with one hand at the belt as my smile fades away.
His cruel eyes were making an infamous comeback as he stares deep into my soul. Embarrassed, I lower my head and look at his shoes that come under my vision."Don't ever do that again. I might be your mate, but I'm also the King. Don't anger me.""Y-yes, your majesty." I quiver."Don't call me that either. I gave you the liberty to call me by my name. Only you're allowed to, also Jasmine." He says as I curtly nod my head as he presents my dear helmet back to me. Why was he angry in the first place when he exhibited perverted behavior towards me? Ugh, I hate this job!Licking my lips, I thought of how easy things were going to be now since I'm his mate. I have to deal with limited touchiness and peevertedness like this but I decided that I'm okay with that. After all, we want the beast dead at any cost.Following him with my head still down, I was willing to ask him about his exact relationship with Gorius. A beta and alpha duo isn't very close as the two, and I was only curious.Admiring the tall ceiling and architecture of the palace again, I bump into his strong back and I knew he had enough of me today. He slowly turns back to face me with annoyance in his eyes, "Go back to the room."Okay, but which room?"I-I don't have a room—""If you are my mate, where do you expect yourself to stay and who do you expect to stay with Laura?" It was a tricky question for me. Even if I had married a human, I'd choose to stay in separate rooms. But since it is the King of werewolves and I unfortunately happen to be his mate, I had to say, "With you, Lucien.""Great. You have your answer now." The sarcasm flows in his words as I clench my jaw behind his retreating back. "Jackass." Mouthing in silence, I say to myself.Who does he even think he is? I was actively very annoyed of him now than him being annoyed of me.A few hours pass by as I lay on the bed of his without a care in this world. Then again, I remind myself to let my academy know that I'm at least alive. Licking my lips, thinking if this is the right moment or not, I take the prescribed pills out and shake my head at the engineering of this communication device.Yes, it is a communication device which shall connect me to my academy head and my chief who is I'm charge of this mission. Chief Gabe shall be online, hopefully.Pressing the pill between my index and thumb, I begin to tap them with the Morse code letters I've learned at the academy. It wasn't easy and definitely took time for typing each letter and giving spaces, but soon I receive a message back as I feel the letters vibrate discreetly upon the pad of my thumb."Be safe." He says back to me as I give two taps which converts to "OK." In Morse text form. Sighing that I wasn't caught this time, I forget to inform them that I am the male's mate for life, I sink the device down which was shut down immediately after the conversation ended.Chief, as I can say is an experienced man. He would do anything to save the world and probably would do anything for humanity too. The plan emerged when the vampire King approached us at our headquarters. We were terrified out of our wits to see the King of Vampires enter our division like it was nothing. With several guns pointed towards him, he slowly explains us the plan. If we somehow capture this cold King of Werewolves and surrender him alive to the vampires, he will let all of humanity be safe out of vampire touch.Thousands of lives could be saved each year, and the best candidate for this mission was me.I possessed a record of 756 kills and 2 fails during my three years of experience. That was almost one vampire everyday that I killed and it was strenuous on me too as a human. However, I accepted the challenge in a heartbeat, because the candidate who is successful will be promoted to being the next Chief.The luring factor and the need to help out my species drove me towards the palace that night. The planned attack was upon me, but indirectly on the King of werewolves who was drunk. Yet, I haven't thought of seven vampires being butchered alive in front of me. The view traumatized me because I had no evidence of how strong Lucien was.From then on, I've only known one emotion: Fear.Lucien is a killing machine and I do not know how he got that. I was scared of him because without my weapons, I am simply nothing in front of him. But there was something really charming about the man. I couldn't point out exactly what it was, but it was worth saving, I felt.I don't know what to do now.I was starting to fall for my own mate.It was finally dinner time where I was called down to eat, a basic human function. As I reached the dinner hall, the huge table was totally slashed down to just four seater and a smaller table. It looked kind of odd as the room requirement needed such a long table but this is what is available.Anyway, maybe this shall be a new start while we can see each other's expressions clearly again. From my periphery, I could see Jasmine walking towards the table while looking very tired, also notably sad. She takes a seat beside me and I did not know how to comfort her. The thing about killing vampires and attending academies is that you lose the chance of being human. They train you to become heartless and snatch away any humanity in you except for the emotion of oneness.Yes I had a family, but within a few months of training, they've made me forget about my own parents too.Playing with my fingers as we wait for the food to be served when the King arrives, I begin to shoot my shot at starting the conversation with Jasmine."Hey, Jasmine! Why the long face?" I ask her as politely as I could, also being friendly."Lucien scolded me. I wasn't understanding a few concepts." She says and as if on queue, the man in discussion walks inside while looking as stressed as ever.He sits across us and stares at me while I look at Jasmine who was glaring at Lucien. When Lucien learns that Jasmine was glaring deep into his soul, he rolls his eyes as I find something fishy going on. Maybe it's Lucien who is trying to press a lot of concepts on her."Um... you guys okay?" I ask them."Lucien is bad. I hate him." Jasmine says without a second thought."That's not true. You wouldn't learn what I said! Is history of werewolves that bad!?" He asks in a loud voice which even scares me. The princess turns to look at me and following her gaze, Lucien looks at me too."What? What did you tell her? That I'm a bad brother?" The man bellows while I hold the fork in my hand with a little more strength. Why were they arguing on such a little thing?Although, I decided that I must stay quiet and only be there to eat food and nothing else. Quite some time passes by as I make my way into the room again. I believe that if I need to preserve my head, I shouldn't ask Lucien to give me my own room. Also, I pray to God that he is not a cuddler.As I roll on the bed while thinking about everything on my plate, the door to this huge room opens as Lucien switches the lights on from the other end. I turn to look at him while he begins to remove his shirt and pants. I shouldn't have turned around."Like the view?" I couldn't fathom the fact that I kept staring at him instead of giving him privacy while I mutter an apology and turn back around, killing myself internally a few times.The bed sinks at his weight and the lights are switched off.Silence.It takes a few minutes for me to gather some courage as I turn around to look at him. He was staring at the ceiling with his elbow upon his forehead. He must be troubled by something."Is something troubling you?" I ask him softly.Varca was brave enough to think he could stand up to Kohl and Lucien. He was confused when he was overpowered by the strongest male duo that ever walked on Earth. He stood up again, his body made a dent in a low hill after Kohl kicked him into it. His battle spirit was slowly fading, and he looked down at the giant hole in his chest. He was bleeding from his mouth and bleeding from his chest. His heart had gone missing. And when everything looked like a blissful win for the werewolf-man duo, Varca clicked his fingers, and an abnormal amount of smoke just spread through, all around the shore of Bepal. The ships were spreading it. They were crushing a bunch of neurotoxin which the vampires are immune to. They were a blend of...wolfsbane. Kohl realised his dirty plan when he saw the humans falling to their knees, sucked out to the last drop by vampires. He growled at Varca, charging at him with a stake of a broken roof in his hand. "ARGH!" Varca cried, coughing out blood. "You w
[2 days ago, South Bepal shore]The shore was quiet and the sea smelled great. The shore bred warmth from the coastline it touched, the south side was especially warm during afternoons. A fisherman's boy from the shoreline village was playing with his red male doll. It looked like the Fritz, twelve inches in height and almost too realistic like a baby. As he sunk the toy in the clear, wavy water I've the shore's receding wave, he felt the joy of drowning his doll. His intention was to make it swim on its own. However, there came the shore hitting wave again. But it was dyed like the color of hell.He noticed the red ink like fluid spread with the water. He didn’t realise. After all, he was just a kid. His he's turned to the other side slowly. Beyond his little boat anchored to safety was a hovering troop of red eyed monsters.He knew right away about their species. He yelled,"B-BLOODSUCKERS!!" Varca's vast fleet stationed around the coast. His giant ship's shadow grew on the s
Raya watched the young lady descend on the palace terrace softly. Her wings followed her mind and remained attached to her back. Raya smiled at the young lady who skipped towards her like an enthusiastic child. "How was the view from up there?" Asked Raya."It was awesome!" She answered simply. Eden embraced Raya's side as she asked the man to let her go, just for a while."I gotta talk to Laura about something. Give me a minute." Whispering to him, she places a kiss on his cheek when he nods his head. She leaves his embrace to fetch Laura, to talk to her."Um, hey. You got a minute for me? I know you're busy, but it's kind of important." Laura and Kathleen turned towards Raya who gently asked her. Kathleen pushed her chin towards Raya, looking at Laura as the Phoenix got the green signal."I'll be right back!" Said Laura to Tony who wanted to cling to her while the ceremony started."What do you wanna talk about?" Laura asked with a soft smile,"Um, before that, could you keep the c
Eden and Raya were sincerely missing out on everything good that was happening around the palace and the Siren Kingdom. They've deliberately avoided everyone after an hour of lovemaking.But, no matter how much they've washed each other and relieved from the scent of sex, Laura and Tony could sniff out everything within a second. Tony looked at Laura with a knowing gaze, his face all scrunched up in disgust while Laura tried not to laugh at him. They watched Eden come first, trying to hug Laura and Raya nonchalantly walk behind him. Their combination was lethal in Laura's eyes.One was a golden retriever puppy and the other was a great old sea serpent who was half as wise as Eden. She is an old soul after all, she knew nothing about the modern age and how invaluable having sex is considered in the recent times. "Um, you two smell funny." Tony said frankly, without thinking twice about the situation. Kathleen was right behind them as she checked out sea jewelry from a cute Siren maid
Days passed by.Raya could never have felt this peaceful amongst the most chaotic trio she's ever seen. They're always breaking something or the other. They're clumsy and childish.But all three separately were more mature and understanding that most ripe humans. At present, Raya watched Laura bring a baby siren close into her arms and whisper sweet nothings to the upset baby. It seems as though the baby had an indigestion problem, and as soon as Laura let a drop of her tear seep into the baby's smooth blue skin, it stopped crying almost instantly. Laura's wings furled inwards as she provided the needed warmth to the Siren baby."Magical, isn't it?" Kathleen said from behind Raya. The woman who was leaning against the huge door frame of the palace entrance stood straight in her presence. Out of respect. "Yes, indeed. She's a healer. She was born for this." Raya said in a soft voice in admiration. Her gaze turned towards the two boys who gave company to the rest of siren children pla
The door barged open as the sirens spilled inside. Raya flinched and looked behind herself."W-we heard someone falling to the floor, your highness! Is everything alright!? Are you alright?" Eden chuckled at the cute teenager sirens who barged in to 'check' on their deity. They find a single, non exclusive excuse to rush into the room, hoping to see their Sea Serpent diety just once. It looked like a terrible, annoying trick to Raya. Alas, she was too tired to even react to them."Nothing is wrong, you all. Have you ever heard of privacy?" Eden asked the teenagers amusingly. "What is that?"Raya stared at them with a blank expression. Were they pretending to be clueless or were they really unfamiliar with such terms?Eitherway, Eden limps towards them and closes the door behind himself."Do you want to rest beside me?" He was shy, scratching his head and shuffling his feet as he asked.'Not so cocky now, I see.' Raya thought in her mind. Without another word said, she crawls up int
