The Alpha and The Vampire Queen

The locked shoe box

Violet's p.o.v

I shiver as Brandon strokes my body with a bar of soap in the shower, he passes my neck, shoulders, he skims my hardened n*****s and I whimper. He rubs my back and my ass, massaging the soap into them. He skims my aroused womanhood and just rubbed my legs with his bar of soap.

"Stay quiet, stay still or else I might lose my control." I shiver again and almost moan when she starts to lather soap into my skin.

We both had gotten dressed and dried when there was a pounding on the door.

"You guys in there?!" it was Alpha Alex's voice, I jump and run to the door of the cabin. Not before hearing heavy breathing from the window, I whip my head around but I don't see anything.

(This part is important)

Serenity's p.o.v

"I think that I might be pregnant.." I trail off slowly, no doubt looking nervous.

"With my child? I'm going to be a dad?" Alex seemed to be bursting with joy, he beams at me and hugs me tightly,

"Well, I don't know, I just have facts," I start to say, getting his full attention, "Nauseous with certain types of blood, cravings for human food, hungrier, violent mood swing.." I look at him, "What do you think?" 

"I think that there is a great chance that you are pregnant. Vampires have higher s*x levels so it would make sense if they got pregnant quicker right?" 

"Speaking of pregnancies, I need a favor, come with me." I lead him inside my room in the cabin and rummage in one of my trunks, pulling out what looks like a stamp.

"You need to stamp me with this." I tell him, holding it out to him, he takes it from me,

"What is this?" he asked, looking at the design. It was simple, a stamp that said Amber in fancy lettering, Violet had the same one.

"It's a stamp of the House of Amber, something sacred to vampires, it's a stamp that prevents the wearer to get pregnant by anyone apart from her mate. If I stamped you with this, you would only be able to impregnate me." I say,

"Where is the ink?" he seemed confused,

"You have to burn it onto the skin, that way it is permanent." he pales slightly

"What?! Burn it on?!" he seemed appalled by the idea, "That's the vampire way of doing this?"

"There is another way to do this?" I c**k my head to the side, curious

"Of course there is. I bite the inside of of your right thigh, and a mark of your last name would appear entwined with mine." he says slowly as if trying to get me to understand all of this, 

"I suppose that is easier, and if I want you to only be able to impregnate me," I raise an eyebrow, "Is there a way?"

"Yes there is, you would need to bite my bicep, weird i know, but it prevents me from impregnating any other female." he says with a small smile,  "It would make the same mark."

I return to the present when I feel a brush brushing my eyelid. It was Alex's sister doing my makeup for the Luna Ceremony happening in about 3 hours 1 hour now.

"Finished!" she sings. I look into the mirror and gasp, it was beautiful.

Alissa had brushed my eyelids with a soft silver and brushed with fine black powder that complemented my bronze and gold eyes. She had put a red tinted lip gloss on my lips. 

My hair was put into a simple chignon, a few strands were curled to frame my face.

"How is this dress?" Sirena yells out from inside the closet, showing us a pale pink ballgown dress,

"NO!" Alissa yells immediately and rushes inside of the closet, I laugh silently.

"I don't see why we have to use such an extravagant dress, I have plenty of simple ones in my luggage." I call out,

"Well you see, a Luna Ceremony is very important." she ends it at that, "Aha!" she pulls out a dress and I gasp, 

"It's beautiful." I say as I stand up and touch the fabric gently with my hands.

It was a formal off-the-shoulder black mermaid evening dress. It had gold beading done in the pattern of a crescent moon, from the crescent moon was a red beading supposed to look like blood. The back had a detachable shawl, also black with gold that patterned the ends.

"Where-" I start to say, looking up.

"Well, it took a while to make secretly, but it was worth it in the end." Alissa smiles,

"You made this?!" Sirena asked, Alissa nods proudly,

"I made the shoes too, now the shoes were difficult, especially in 9 days." she shakes her head she was smiling though.

"Thank you.." I trail off,

"Don't cry, you're gonna ruin the makeup, Sirena, go help her with the dress." she ushers us into the washroom.

I quickly strip down, Alissa had given me a strapless bra and lace panties, well more a thong, for the dress and for after the ceremony. I look down at the marking in my inner thigh and smile, brushing my finger over it. Alex had the same mark on his bicep.

"Whoop, there you go!" she says and helps me into the dress.

"Why are you so hyper?" I ask her,

"Oooh, I might have found some coffee earlier.." she says cheekily.

"Oh no.." I trail off laughing, we come out the bathroom, we had a while left, Alissa had left, the shoes were on the bed,

"Well, I think I'm going to go find that werewolf, we can prepare for the Ceremony." she bounds out the door. I smile and sit on the bed,

I look around and my smile fades, of course, the locked shoe box. It was open. My curiosity getting the best of me, I take it.

I cover my mouth, there was a picture of a beautiful woman laughing and kissing Alex's cheek. She had ebony black hair, beautiful electric blue eyes and tanned skin.

A woman's perfume was there, beside there was a necklace, a bracelet and an engagement ring. I was trying hard not to cry. 

I pick up a piece of paper, a note. Written for Alex, I open it and see feminine writing

Your skin isn’t paper, so don’t cut it. Your neck isn’t a coat so don’t hang it. Your size isn’t a book so don’t judge it.  Your life isn't a film, don’t end it. 

These were words I said to you when you got into a depressed stage when you found out I wasn't your mate. Remember? I wish I gave you the time to say them to me. 

I'm so sorry, I couldn't take it, they threatened that they would kill you, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if they did. I love you, to the end of time. 

Move on. Find your mate. I'm sorry that we didn't last until the wedding.

The pain will get better...

Love yours truly, Milan Barter

I could see tear marks on the page, there was blood on one corner, it was wrinkled from being held so tight. I breath heavily. I wanted to cry. I put the note away into the box and put it where I found it. 

I start to pace around. What would Alex say? I tug on a strand of hair, calm down Serenity. I put on the black and gold accented high heels, they were 5 inch platform heels.

I pace again, the heels clicking on the floor. Alissa comes in and sees my nervous state, 

"It'll be alright girl." she smiles, but then she sees the unlocked shoe box. Her smile fades slowly, "You saw it, didn't you." she asks softly,

I look at the ceiling holding back my tears and nod, "I did. I regret it so much, but I'm glad I did." I say sadly. 

"I told him not to be looking at it anymore. Today is Milan's birthday though. Also, you remind us of her as well. Her attitude actually. She was a human." she nods towards the box, she shakes her head, "I'm here to lead you to the dais down there for the full moon."

I look at the moon, it was full and at its peak. I sigh and link my arm through Alissa's

"Lead the way. The Full Moon awaits." I say, faking cheerfulness as we walk out the doors.
