Leas POV.
'Well this room is pretty too, don't you think, Blade?'
'It's fine, I guess.'
'Fine? What's on your mind?'
'Just that delicious King. Maybe we should pay him a visit?'
'Don't even go there. He already hates us.'
I decide to take a nap before dinner. I'm not getting a lot of sleep lately, I haven't in years actually. Not since the Moon Goddes gave me another ability, though I would love to get rid of this one.
'I can feel another one coming.'
I feel the coldness behind me. The room gets darker as the light fades. I turn around and see a boy. He's younger than me, just a little boy. His body is full of claw marks. His shirt is ripped and blood-red from his wounds. His throat has been slit. He's crying, his eyes is dull and I can already see the death in them. I walk towards him, which make him look up in my eyes. His eyes is begging me.
"Please, help me." His voice is a cold whisper, it makes me shiver.
"I will, trust me Ethan, you will soon be a better place." I give him a reassuring smile and he returns it.
He walks towards me and I prepare myself. He raise his hand and place it on my shoulder. The instant he touch me, I can feel his pain. He disappears, leaving me behind with his unbearable agony. A scream leaves my lips when claw marks appears on my body the same why they had on his. Blood is dripping down my body, the smell of iron fill the room. Cain enters my room seconds before my throat gets cut. I can feel his embrace and then it's all black.

Cains POV.
I start to unpack after Lea leaves with the Royal Beta. Maybe, just maybe is the King not so bad afterall.
'Do you think he's her mate?'
'Maybe. The Moon Godddes did tell her, that the King is not allowed to know who or what she is. Maybe it's a test for the King?'
'Maybe.'
I finish unpacking when I suddenly hear it. Her scream. I rush out my room and follows her scent down the corridor. I reache her door, open it just as her throat is cut.
I run to her and embrace her. I see the life leave her eyes and she's gone. Her shirt and skirt is ripped with claw marks and blood is dripping down her senna skin. I sit there for 2 hours before her wounds is completely healed. Only thing missing is the cut on her throat.
'2 days, Cody.'
'It's getting worse.'
'Yeah, that's the longest she has gone since she got that curse.'
'It's not a curse, Cain. The Moon Goddess knew that she would be good and kind to the dead and help them to the other side. It's an important ability.'
'I guess, but hearing her screams almost every night and day, it breaks my heart. She never gets a change to sleep.'
'I know. Just be there for her and it will get better.'
I remember when she told me about the Moon Goddess request. It was 2 years ago and the Moon Goddess made her the bridge between life and death. All supernatural creatures would have to go through her to cross over to the other side and have peace. When they do, she will experience all the pain and suffering they felt when they died and she would die to. She will heal and come back to life, some times it would take hours and other times only minutes.
With a gasp of air, Lea jump up with wide eyes and confusing written all over her face. She spins around the room.
"Lea, calm down. You're okay." I grab her wrist and drag her in for a hug. She calms down.
"I hate this, Cain." Her voice is fragile and small. She hug me back and I kiss the top of her head.
"I hate this too, Lea. But I'm here for you." She takes a step back and look me in my eyes. Those navy eyes can make me do anything. A smile appears on her face.
"Thank you." She kisses my cheek and turns around. I watch as she strips out of her bloody clothes and put on a sundress. She looks amazing. She smiles brightly.
"Are you hungry?" She giggles when her stomach releases a big growl.
"Yes I am, lets go." I chuckle. We head down to the kitchen.

Leas POV
We are all alone in the kitchen, and I don't mind at all. My body is still sore after the crossover and my body needs some food. I open the fridge and see 10 sandwich with the Kings name on. I'm tempted and take one me and Cain. We start eating and I see my chance to speak with him without anyone around.
"We need a plan for this meeting tomorrow." I whisper though we are all alone. Cain look at me with a frown.
"Yeah, he will must likely assign you to patrols like the rest of the betas here." He's not saying it, but he knows what we have to do.
"No one can see Blade, they will figure out what I am the moment they see her." I frown too, it's not the ideal situation. We need someones help and I'm not too happy about it.
"I know. We need a witch." Cains voice is husky. I don't hate all witches but one specific witch has caused me a lot of agony, so I only trust one.
"You will call her tomorrow and make her meet with me in the forest, okay?" My voice is calm but I know it's a big risk bringing a witch to the Kings territory.
"We can trust her, even though she's a witch.." I stop talking when his scent hit my face. My heart starts to race. King Nathan enters the room with an impressive aura.
Cain is polite and shows the King respect.
"Good evening, my King." I don't say anything and neither does he. He's not even answering Cain. This man talks about respect but he don't respect others. He walks with arrogance to the fridge and take out a sandwich. He takes a bit and a growl escapes my lips.
"Did you just growl at me? Do you have zero respect for the ones above you?" He faces me, looking into my eyes with his beautiful hazel ones. I feel the anger in my stomach.
"You talk about respect, but you don't respect anyone else? Respect is earned not just a careless word. " I spit the words out with the anger I feel inside. He roars loadly, startling both me and Cain. He push me up against the fridge with great power. I bang my head into the steel frigde door.
I can see how the anger consumes the hazel in his eyes and leaves only darkness. I know I'm pushing his buttons but something in his eyes change all of the sudden. He takes a step back.
"I'm sorry." His words is only a whisper so only I can hear it. He turns around and storms out the kitchen before Cain or I can say anything. Cain gives me a weird look.
"Lets go to bed." I say with a small smile.
We say our goodbyes in the corridor before heading to our separate rooms. I take a shower and go to bed. I'm about to fall in a deep sleep, when I can feel a mind link coming from King Nathan and I let him through.
'I want you to meet me in my office tomorrow 9 o' clock.'
'Why?'
I roll my eyes.
'It's an order, Lea.'
'So now you know my name. It only seems fair if I knows your too.'
Although I already know his name.
'Fine. My name is Nathan.'
'Pleasure to meet you, Nathan. Goodnight.'
I end the mind link and fall a sleep, at least a couple of hours before the next crossover.
