The Keeper Sorceress

Orion

I was sitting in the library with the book of werewolf history open in front of me and my mind trying to figure out what is it that is scaring the hell out of me, what trouble it might be that might be clouding Wokozar when someone entered in the Library, I looked up and saw Haziel walking in with a strange smile on his face. He is wearing knee-length linen maroon tunic and and black pants, father and Yanet call him mother's copy 'no not because of his attitude, Yanet has mother's attitude Hazeil he's easy going he's not even like father. They call him mother's copy because of his platinum blonde hairs, sharp jawline and sea green eyes'  and that gleam of mischief in his eyes still makes him look like some twenty-twenty one years old boy even though he turned thirty last month. Speaking of gleam, why does he look so serious? I mean shouldn't he be excited considering tomorrow is Tributis serviens and he might find his mate. After all that is exactly what he has wanted for a long time now finding his mate and getting laid, by getting laid I mean marking her and all those wolf things. According Haziel that is what real fun is marking your mate like a territory, he says that there is no fun getting laid without marking yes he knows because our dear prince have gotten laid quite a many times. And yep that wasn't much fun for him, he got pleasure yes but satisfaction nope. Oh and he did not tell me all this, few years ago I heard him discussing this with Orion and before you judge me I didn't exactly wanted to hear all this, I was just passing by when I heard them discussing and stopped to hear Orion's part....Haziel's part ughhh what I wouldn't give to forget it if it is even possible. And oh you can't just mark anyone you can mark only your partner, your mate, your soulmate.

"Can you please stop staring at me like that, I know I'm handsome and all but you ignoring what I'm saying and staring at me for so long is kind of scary considering you are my sister" Haziel said and oh Luna this was the first time I noticed he has walked across this bigger than life library and is sitting right across from me and I'm just staring at him.I got carried away. And no not by him exactly

"uh...what were you saying" I asked shutting the book I have read so many times before.

"I was asking what were you reading, but know what nevermind" he said settling back in his chair. "Uh oh...so what brings you here?" I asked him. "Haan!....oh yeah we are leaving for moon castle in few minutes." he replied and I slapped my hands on forehead "how can I forget that" I said almost jumping out of the chair I was sitting on and walked to the self I had taken the book I was trying to read from. Keeping the book back I turned back to Haziel "Ready to go back home brother" that place is where human King Lucras and goddess Luna met for the first time and fell in love. Then their first son and our great grandfather Mayan made moon castle their in memory of his parents. Haziel, I and Yanet have spent our childhood there until we shifted here one year ago because our friendly neighbours vampyres and their witches were dying to enter in our territory, so father thought it would be better to stay here for few day and mother insisted to accompany him and so we ended up here and well days changed into months.

"Oh yeah so ready" I Haziel said but I barely paid any attention to that cause all my attention was on his behavior. Haziel is happy go lucky kind of person, you know always cheerful no what. But today something was off about my brother, something-something was bothering him.  "What is it big brother?" I asked.

"What do you think about Orion?" Orion just another topic that is not letting me sleep, or do any other work peacefully for that matter. "Haziel there is nothing to discuss and you know it. Tomorrow is Tributis serviens he will find his mate and that is it end of ou- everything" I completed. "Maybe you did not hear me Elle, I am asking what do you think about Orion?" Haziel repeated the question I do not want to answer "we should leave brother we can discuss this later" I said started to walk to the door to leave. "Do not leave this room Arielle and answer me"

"What do you want to hear brother? The truth? so here it is I like him and he likes me too. But the problem is my blood and wolf faiths. You know just how much wolf hates demons and my blood? I am a half sorceress which means my father is some sorcerer which means he is a child of some demon which makes blood running through my veins demonic. What happens when his family finds out about my demon heritage? I can't hide myself from them forever brother, they will find the truth one day and than maybe just maybe Orion excepts me even after knowing my truth but what about others? Will they? The answer is no brother, they won't except me. Not everyone is like you, Yanet or our parents after all.

Then there is wolf faiths brother, wolves except mates that are made for them no matter what. Because rejecting the mate would mean disrespecting Luna's choice-"

"He loves you Elle and believe me when I say it he will except you no matter what and he will fight for you. Besides father is the king people will have listen to him, Orion will choose you over his mate and if anyone tries to oppose his decision he or she will have to face me and father first" Haziel said cutting me.

"That's the thing Haziel Orion and me being together would me downfall of the people I love that means yours, father's and Orion's people respects you and father because you are descendants of the King Lucras and Luna, because you respect them and protect their faiths. What do you think will happen when you both will stand against their faiths brother? I might be your sister and father's daughter but your first responsibility is your people Haziel. And as for Orion, I do not want him to go against everyone for me. I want him happy and for that he need to forget me except his mate that he might find."

"I do not care about faiths Elle for me what matters is your happiness, you finding someone who would love you protect you forever. And I know how much Orion loves you and to what extent he will go for you if you say so" 

This was enough, I couldn't hold back my tears anymore so I ran to my brother and hugged him tightly and cried for the love I might never get, for Orion who I will loose tomorrow "shhhh.....just say a word Elle and you will have Orion." Haziel said kissing the top of my head and rubbing my back. "I can not big brother, knowing the consequences I can not" I whispered shaking my head. 

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

I cried for maybe half n hour and Haziel tried to calm me and convince that I should choose Orion, that I shouldn't worry about some faith. And me well I tried to convince him exact opposite , he told me how restless Orion is that tomorrow he might find his mate and that he is planning to reject her. But I can not let that happen, I need to talk some sense into him and that's what I will do first as soon as I reach moon castle. I looked out of the window of my carriage , we could reach there in few more hours but that is not enough time I need more, more time and some more air and so I asked coachman to stop carriage. When it stopped I got down for some fresh air, it was already night time and when cold air touched my skin it made me shiver, one of the maid immediately stepped forward and made me wear a navy blue hood, just then Haziel's horse stopped "what happened little miss prim" he asked concern was as clear as day in his eyes but he was trying to sound causal. "Nothing I just want to take a walk" I replied. "Okay then let me join" he said.

"Uh...no no there is no need for that brother, I just want to clear my head and I would prefer to be alone right now" I said shaking my head. "Are you sure?" he asked after observing me for few seconds and I immediately nodded. "Okay don't take much time then" Haziel said and left. Anyways what's with the air tonight? why is it so chilling? It is the the month of august and it already feels like it is the month of november. I looked around me to see four guards and three maid totally unaffected by cold temperature oh-ok so it is only me better shiver somewhere else I walked away from them and towards the jungle on our left. I stood there for few minutes staring at the endless area full of trees ahead of me, when I got the creepy feeling of being watched, of someone standing too close to me.
