Five

Three hours later, Myra was surprising laughing and joking with Ashley and Gwen as they had drinks in a bar not so far from the council building. 

Myra learnt that they were closer to her age than their mates. Granted she was older than them. 

“God, how I wish for some alcohol right now?” Gwen mumbled, eyeing Myra drink with greater interest than any pregnant woman should have. 

“You can’t, you are pregnant.” Ashley cautioned as he took the liberty to keep the alcoholic drinks away from Gwen side of the table and keep the juice flavored drinks to Gwen side. 

“This is discrimination of the highest standards. Gwen griped even as she drank heavily from her cup. 

“You are the first pregnant vampire I have ever seen.” Myra slurred, she needed to stop while she was ahead, she was drunk than she anticipated but then again, she was planning on burning it all away when she visited the bathroom next. 

“Yep, that’s me. Making history.” Gwen replied. 

“Your mate is history.” Myra snorted and the two girls looked at each other then burst into fits of giggles. 

Ashley sighed. “Something which I cannot ever understand. Women when drunk. Gwen what’s your excuse.” 

“Company that is not so filled with power and seriousness.” Gwen quipped.

“She is the heir of a race, just she. She will not be sharing her power with anybody, she is plenty serious and powerful too. She just isn’t showing it.” 

Gwen seemed to consider his words and shrugged. “That is good enough for me.”

“I promise to always keep my seriousness away from you though I am never serious.” Myra promised. 

“Second best friend forever.” Gwen smiled. 

“I thought that position would go to me. Not fair.” A voice said from the entrance of the private room which they had rented to keep up with the strict protection which Vince had for Gwen. 

Myra looked at the direction to see Courtney, Jessica and Vince looking at them. 

“Hello guys.” Myra hiccupped. 

“Whoever thought that it would be okay to leave them with a pleasure Feeder?” Courtney growled as she stalked towards her mate. 

“I am not drunk.” Ashley responded. “I am watching over two of them.” 

“Sure you are.” Courtney responded, checking the gaze of her mate. “His pupils is dilated, stop it.” She snaps at Myra who frowned at her. 

“Ubbis might be pleasure feeders but we only gain real nourishment from sex.” Myra responded hurt at the way in which Courtney snapped at her. “Something which you definitely knew.” 

“Courtney.” Vince said, in a warning tone. 

“Easy for you because your mate is a female, mine is male and she is a succubus.” Courtney answered.

“And because of the reputation that we don’t mostly care, you think that I used him.” Myra said, her buzz was fading as she slowly came the realization that escaped her since she was with Ashley and Gwen. That succubus were not welcomed by others.

“Well you certainly did something to him and Gwen.” Courtney replied. 

“I just lowered their inhabitations a little so we could be friends.” Myra defended herself, something which the Luminary court did not have any issue with her doing. 

“So you could get information from them…” Courtney returned and would have said more but Vince cut in. 

“Courtney, that’s enough.” Vince raised his voice a little. Courtney stopped talking but the damage was done. 

“I would like to return to my room now.” Myra stated silently. 

“Myra…” Ashley and Gwen responded but she shook her head. 

“It was nice talking to you two. I guess you saw the reason why Succubus don’t relate well with others.” Myra shook her head then turned to look at Vince. 

“I will not tell anybody about your mate being with child, it would not help me in any way. Tomorrow, I would be returning home too.” Myra said then teleported out of the room before they could say anything more. 

*********************

A knock the next day woke Myra up and she stumbled to the door, opened it before she remembered what happened the night before when she saw Gwen standing in front of her with an uncertain smile. 

“Hello Gwen.” She groaned. 

“Hi Myra, would you like to have breakfast with us.” Gwen asked and when Myra frown, she rushed to add. “Just me and Vince, Courtney is not around and Vince do not have anything against your race. Courtney story would be explained to you by herself when she is ready to apologize and we will not mention anything about her to you as we eat.”

“I still would be going home today and there is no need to act like we will all enjoy this sit down which your mate wants to organize to know what I would tell my mother. We don’t even eat the same thing.” Myra responded. 

“I know but still, please. Just come sit with us a little before you are ready to go home.” Gwen pleaded. “Besides, you would not want to refuse an audience with the queen right.” 

“I cannot believe that you are using that card.” Myra griped, annoyed that her training so far will really not let her refuse Gwen offer because of Gwen’s position. 

“If I have to.” Gwen shrugged. Myra groaned even as she shut the door in Gwen face, at least, she could have that tiny form of satisfaction. 

Myra opened the door of her room, some minutes later to see Gwenn raise her eyebrow at her but she did not say anything but started walking. Myra followed her and half way, she was hit with a scent that made her want to jump the owner. She struggled to keep her instincts to herself. Signs were showing that she would be nearing her mate and she did not want to let go and attack someone in the home of people who were already prejudiced against her race. She would drag the person off and then have her ways with him. 

Sweat gathered her brows as Gwen took her closer to the scent and eventually she was in front of the person who owns the scent. The person was a huge man with barely restrained brutality surrounding him. That marked him as a shifter. 

The Ubbis do not mate with others except her race. She could not help the first words that came to her brain and escaped her mouth as the man seemed to grow in size as he stared at her in amazement. “You have got to be kidding me.”
