Alastair

Chapter 6

It felt so good waking up with my mate in my arms, even if she did snore in my ear all night. Honestly her snore started becoming a lullaby, I am not sure If I could sleep without it. She was still sound asleep, I took this opportunity so just watch her, admire her beauty. I was very pleased that the last 3 months have gone so well and she was in love with me. She made a beautiful demon. She started stretching looking up at me with a lazy smile.

"How did you sleep Angel?" I asked her.

"Blissfully, how about you my love?" she said snuggling her face back into my chest.

I was about to start kissing her and what not but her phone started ringing. She escaped from my grasp rolling over grabbing my phone looking at it before answering it.

"

"Hello?" I said in cheerful voice.

"Good afternoon my Queen." Victor said

"Victor! It's so nice to hear from you, is everything okay? And please call me Esme." I asked.

"Yes Esme. I found her, but she hates me." he said with pain lacing through it.

"Alastair my love! Victor found her!" I said pushing on his shoulder.

He smiled motioning me to give him the phone. I handed it over before jumping off the bed racing to the closet and throwing clothes on grabbing some for Alastair, running back into the room throwing the clothing on the bed motioning him to get up and get dressed so we can leave.

"Victor, what can we do to help you?" he asked.

"I was hoping Esme could come talk to her." Victor said.

"Of course we will be right there." he said.

My mate hung the phone up placing it in my back pocket before turning to put his clothing on, he turned to me placing a quick kiss before wrapping us in his wings as we transported to Victors home. He unwrapped his wings letting me see a defend Victor sitting in front of a red door.

"Where is she?" I  asked approaching him.

Victor stood up looking back at the door. He pulled a key from his pocket handing it to me. I walked up taking it from him and looking at the door.

"Victor, you locked her in this room??" i said with judgement.

"Only after she wouldn’t submit to me my Queen." He said with his head hanging low.  I took a deep breath shaking my head as I went to the door unlocking it and stepping inside.

I closed the door behind me softly before making my way to the door in the back of the room. I knocked lightly.

"f**k OFF VICTOR! How many times do I have to say it?" I heard and angry voice say on the other side of the door.

"Hello?" I said softly.

I didn’t hear a response. The door cracked open I could see her peaking out, I smiled and gave her a little wave. She swung the door open grabbing my arm and pulling me inside before slamming the door shut and locking it. She turned looking at me, she grabbed me pulling me into a hug.

"It's okay, if we stick together we can be safe from him." she said pulling back with a reassuring smile.

"I am Esme. Victor called me letting me know he scared you. I came to see if I could help." I said with a smile

 I could see disappointment spread across her face.

"You work for him." she spat.

"Well no, I am his Queen, but he is a close friend to me and my mate. I went through what you are so he though I could help you process." I said sitting down on the bed she made.

"You have a mate?" she said with surprise, sitting down across from me. "Can you tell me more about that? And what he means when he tells me I hold his soul."

"Well as mates to a dark creature we hold the soul they were never born with, when we give part of it back to them it helps make them mmm, more human I guess you can say, Human in the sense of emotions, and it gives us the abilities to find each other no matter where we are, so if we become separated it comes in handy. As for being a mate, it just simply means we were predestine to belong to an Alpha of one species." I explained.

"What is Alastair?" she asked.

"He is a Demon. He is the King off all dark creatures, Victor is the lord of Vampires." I said with a smile.

"Hm, so how does this work?" she asked.

"Basically you need to give yourself fully over to your mate bond. It will be easier that way, it will help you grow closer faster, which means he will get his soul back faster." I said.

"What if I don’t want to belong to someone?" she asked.

"Sweet girl, you do belong to Victor. No matter what you want or feel about that statement it is true. Just like it is true that he belongs to you." I said with a smile.

"So basically I am just fucked." she said.

"No, he is a good man. He is loyal and he will do anything and everything he can to make you happy. All he wants is to love you, and for you to let him love you." I said.

"So I have to give him a chance than?" she said looking down. "How can he already love me?"

"Yes you need to give a chance to show his love and loyalty to you and he has loved you for the last 1,000 years. You will love him it will just take time. It took me 3 months to fall in love with Alastair and I wanted this life with him. I never fought him on it."   I confessed.

"Thank you Esme for explaining all of this to me. I will try." I said standing up and holding her hand out to help me to my feet.

We left that very depressing room and made our way to the study finding Victor and my mate.

"We have come to an agreement Victor. You will not lock her back in that room and she will try not to push you." I said walking over to her mate and snuggling into his arms. "If you need us again, please call. That means you as well Arabella. Remember what I told you darling it will help."

With that Alastair wrapped his wings around me and we were back home. I stood up and instantly felt sick. I covered my mouth running to the washroom throwing up. I got light headed and sat down, feeling Alastair sit behind me rubbing my neck.

"Are you okay Angel?" he asked. "What can I do to help you?"

"I don’t know what's wrong with me. Can you please call a Doctor?" I said.

"Of course Angel." he said pulling his phone out of his pocket and making a quick dial.

The Queen needs you now." he said gruffly. Hanging up and shoving it back into his pocket he turned his attention back to me. He started rubbing my back softly as I threw up again.

A few moments later a man came walking in with a black bag.

"Please my King get her to the bed." he said.

Alastair stood up lifting me into his arms and carrying my to the bed. He sat me down softly and stepped to the side.

"Hello My Queen I am Dr. Nicholai. Do you feel any discomfort?" he asked listening to my heartbeat.

"No, I am just sick to my stomach." I said.

He nodded and started listening to my stomach. His eyes grew with excitement.

"My King. She is with child!" he exclaimed.

Alastair and I looked at each other in shock, and as I placed my hand over my stomach, I smiled at him.

"My King, you need to be very careful with her. She is newly changed and that means it is a demon baby, this pregnancy will last 6 months and the delivery will be hard. She must stay well fed and hydrated. Can you do this?" he asked.

Alastair said nothing he just nodded laying his head on my stomach. The doctor smiled gathered his things and left us alone.  We spent the rest of the evening laying there just socking in the bliss of a new life coming to our life soon.

"Are you happy my love?" I asked him.

"So happy my Angel, you are giving me one of the best gifts I could ask for. I have you and soon we will have a child." he said pressing kisses to my stomach. "I love you Angel."

"I love you too honey." I said with a smile before I fell asleep.
