A Mate For Each Side

'too'?

Dain's POV:

I was mad. I was upset. I was angry, and a bomb ready to explode any time someone would as look at me. Ilona.... she was my mate. At first, I wondered why the goddess had chosen me this low of a wolf. But an alpha? She is the daughter of Marcus Athas? The legendary alpha of Silverbane?  The alphas and lunas of this pack were heard to have abilities similar to royals, and that was why the royal pack, the shadow pack, and Silverbane were all allies. 

If she was their daughter, does that mean she has abilities then? But she never showed any kind of possible abilities. 

I sigh, heavily. After the change of titles and the rejection, my parents noticed that Ilona had run away. They didn't really bother about her until I told them who she was, and what she was. She was the daughter of a dead pack, their leaders butchered unknowingly, Ilona was found bloody, maybe she was a witness to their death, but she never as told any of it, almost as if the memories had disappeared from her mind. the pack had merged with the Alpha king's pack, and lived in peace. If she was to find that pack and claim the titles, she would have such a large pack to rule...  Is it possible to renew a bond?

"very much so, the moon goddess doesn't destroy a bond straight away, if you can mark her before any second chance mate or unmated wolves do, she is your for life." 

My wolf told me, I contemplated it. Maybe that wouldn't be a bad idea. I just had to found her first, but I had a rough idea where she could be already. 

?????'s pov:

News traveled fast in the shadows, something new and found. A power that was recently discovered, and released. I could sense it too. The drumming in the shadow. It was the sound of that power radiating. It was like a piece of music that hypnotizes you and begs you to follow so you could meet your doom. I had always been interested in the unknown but this force really beckoned me to see and investigate. But any further and those mutts will found me, shred me to pieces before I can even set foot in their territory - only if I was a normal person. I was one with the shadow, able to come in and out, able to control them. 

"Your majesty!" A fellow of mine called after me, breaking out of my trance as I stopped looking through the window, the moon now high in the dark starry sky. 

"what is it?" I grumbled, a little annoyed to have been disturbed. 

"Lady Valery was searching for you, she asks me to tell you that she wished to see you, Your Majesty" the fellow servant responded. I rolled my eyes. Lady Valery was one of my mistresses, but I hadn't given them any attention recently, that thrumming had been bugging me, for now, two weeks. And my curiosity was too much. So as the peak of the night rose high, I left when everyone was too preoccupied to feed themselves from poor innocent humans. My thirst for blood had long disappeared, and I only needed animals every so often. 

I wasn't the only one, my family had all went to drinking either animals or sharing their blood if they were true mates that is) 

Yes even vampires, has mates too. Although we often found it differently, if I was to meet the one, I would always crave that one person's blood no matter what, it didn't matter whether animal or human, the only blood that would satisfy our hunger after meeting them would be to drink their blood. 

I haven't found mine yet, that is for sure. Otherwise, I would always be hungry, nowadays, I don't feel as hungry for blood like I was used to. 

The shadows seemed to be following me as I ran from trees to trees, unnoticed, lightly, careful. Be one with the shadow itself. I halted in my tracks, there stood a large city, brightly lit. That thrumming louder and closer, I could feel it in my veins, in the earth, in my heart, in the tip of my fingers. It was a strange feeling, never had I ever felt this way before. I look closely at the surrounding, some surrounded the perimeter. This was a pack. Something in this wolf pack was calling to me. 

After this day, I came every day and every night. I had been careful to stay in the dark, protect myself from the sun to my skin. First-generation vampires were weaker in the sun, but stronger in self-control, had centuries of practice, and were stronger too. And not entirely easy to kill. 

It had been a week since I came in and out, never recognize or caught. Although today, I went too far. I walk too far. I search too far. 

What stood before me was such a sight. Black raven hair with spark and hues of blue, so unusual but so pretty. Skin so fair and white and smooth like that it made me want to rub my hand on her arm, her thin waist, across her cheeks. She was fighting, no. She was training with another man. She seemed to have fun with him. 

Then she stops suddenly, her gaze on me as she frowned. And then, that craving hit me so suddenly. 

The male that was with her, turned and glared when he saw a threat. Vampires and werewolves weren't really allies. 

"mate" she suddenly said. "you're my mate too?" 

Her mate too? What did she mean by 'too' 

The alpha, Juan, I had now recognized, growled when he heard her but he too was surprised. Was he her first mate? 

"w-who are you?" she asks, her voice sounded so sweet. Just like a breeze in spring. 

"I'm Nelo. Nelo Medicus" I replied, with a smile

"Oh, so we have the king of vampires himself here" Juan mocked.

"Juan, that's no way to treat guests and royal ones at that" she rolled her eyes. "I'm Ilona Athas" My own smiled dropped and I staggered back. "A-Athas?" I repeated. The family name of the family I had been searching everywhere, rumored to be dead. Was she the last survivor? I'm mated to an Athas?
