Brandon's p.o.v
I place gentle neck kisses, starting from behind her ear to her shoulder, suddenly there was a knock at the door when I was about to pull at her dress.
"Dude? You in there?" it was my cousin, Heron,
"What is it?" I ask, annoyed, Violet whimpers, I realized that I was still gripping her tightly. I loosen my grip.
"Your brother and the Vampire Queen want you in his office." he says, I sigh,
"Alright."
"Let's go then." I say softly to my little Vampire mate. She nods and follows me out the door and into Alex's office.
"You don't understand what I'm trying to say!"
"Of course I do! You love me, but you don't want to be Luna until the pack accepts this treaty, which will only happen in about 50 YEARS."
"So? What's wrong with 50 years?!"
"I'LL AGE, YOU WON'T." I look into the room slightly, Alex puts his head in his hands. The treaty papers in between them,
"You won't age at all. I'll be like 69 and you'll still be what, 18?"
"It'll be fine, we just have to convince them that vampires have changed." The Queen says,
"You. Don't. Get. It. Change isn't easy, you Vampires, can maybe change in a few days, so could other werewolf packs. But my pack? My pack has the worst history with your kind. Wars, bloodshed. My pack almost all went rogue when they heard you were coming. To tell them that what they hate the most is their Luna? They would cause a riot." He turns away,
"So you think that your pack would hate me?" she asks softly, Alex looks up into Serenity's face.
"No, worse. They would loath you, they would make you suffer. Whether by raping you, starving you, or crucifying you, they will make you feel pain."
"But they might not." Serenity whispers.
Serenity's p.o.v
"You can't know that that is what the pack will do." I say, the pain probably evident in my voice. Alex opens his mouth but I cut him off. Moving beside him on the couch,
"Alex, I never said that I would wait to become Luna until your pack changes for the treaty. I said that I would become Luna whether or not they accept me, and that I would wait as long as 50 years for them to fully accept them. That's what I meant. I'm sorry if I was vague about it."
My eyes starting tearing up as Alex leans in and rests his head on my shoulder. I caress his head, playing with his hair.
"Hopefully, the pack accepts you other than my sister I mean.."
"Yes... hopefully. Anyways, Violet, Beta, you can come in now."
The couple come in with a sheepish expression on their faces.
"Well, Brandon, princess Violet, we have strict rules for you two to follow, until the Luna Ceremony, you two and Queen Serenity will go down to a secluded cabin in 4 days which is after both your heats. The Luna Ceremony will be on the full moon, 14 days from now. You will be expected to stay out of site of any pack members. The situation about food is simple, Brandon, the food for you will be provided. Serene and Violet, you two will have to hunt for blood. Animals only, unless you have blood."
Violet nods,
"Wait, why me?" I ask,
"Because, if my pack sees you, they will kill you. As for Brandon, I don't trust him to shower everyday and burn his clothes."
I look away,
"Leave us, I'd suggest you start packing for a 9 day trip." Vi and Brandon nod and lave.
"Serenity? It'll be okay, we will see each other, it's only 9 days."he says, touching my chin lightly.
"Vampires are s****l creatures, similar to an incubus and a succubus. I'll have to please myself every night."
"That's what your worried about?"
"No, I just.. I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too." He leans forward and kisses me sweetly, our lips move in perfect synchronization. I moan as he lays me down and grounds his hips into mind.
"Are you sure you don't have experience?" I ask breathless, "Other than kissing of course."
"Yes." he hisses before going back to attacking my lips. Massaging and caressing them with his tongue. I slip my tongue into his mouth, he pulls away to kiss my neck, I can feel him holding back,
"Wh-what's wrong?" I say after catching my breath.
"s*x in my office? Not a good idea." he whispers.
"I'll need to clean the place to get the vampire smell out, why don't you wear this, and go to my room, it's down the hall, then go to your first right, it's the second door on the left."
I wear the hoodie he gave me, he sniffs me, and nods. I follow his instructions after seeing him spraying the room with air freshener and Lysol.
I go into his room and look around. It was very roomy. The bed sheets were navy blue, the walls were white. There was a bathroom door near the closet. My head turns sharply to the door when I heard footsteps outside. I look around and see a shoe box, I grab it and hold it over my head as the doorknob turns. Why the heck is this box so heavy. I wondered as the door opens. I was about to hit the person, but I hear,
"Woah love, calm down, it's only me." I put the shoe box down, and sigh in relief, my mate was smirking.
He looks down at the shoe box and his face turns serious,
"Put that down." Wha..? I look at the side of the box and see a padlock, I purse my lips together as I put it back where I found it
"Better?"
He visibly tries to calm himself down, he was trembling, his breathing was heavy.
He takes a deep breath, glares softly at me and whips around to the bathroom door. He opens it and steps in. I hear him strip with a grunt and close the shower door. Soon, the water turned on.
I take a deep breath and let it out slowly. I blink my eyes a few times and stare at the box. What on earth could be in there. What on earth is so important about that box. Why is it so special that my own mate glares at me with such vulnerability?
I rub the mermaid scale embedded into my forearm. A beautiful pale pink with gold edges. The scale would belong to my sister-in-arms. She would be a mermaid with the same scales as the one on my forearm. She would have a strand of my hair in hers.
No two vampires had the same colored hair. Once one dies, then yes. I have the same colored hair as my great grandmother.
But you see, the sister-in-arms skips a generation, my grandmother had one, so now I do, my daughter won't have one, Vi will. It's complicated.
I look back at the box, then I look at the setting sun, the rays hit my face and I shiver, from the cold, it was summer, yet, the sun felt so cold. I sit on Alex's bed and lie down, best sleep and leave worries for later.
The last thing on my mind as I fell asleep, was my mate and the mysterious locked box of his.
