Tranquility

Confusion

That's the voice. The one from the dream. I spin around cautiously. My eyes widen in shock. It's the guy I bumped into at the mall. He smirks. I can feel my wolf going berserk, but I am still in shock from the realization. "Yo... You.... You're the guy from the mall, and my dream." I say in just a whisper. He shakes his head up and down agreeing with me "yes, darlin. I am the one from your dreams." I stare at him still ignoring my wolf. He chuckles "I guess you can say I am the man of your dreams." "What do you want with me?" I finally managed to get out. He clicks his tongue. "Darlin, you will figure it all out soon enough." He grabs my hand forcefully pulling me away from my pack's territory towards the cold zone. His touch sends sensations through my body. My wolf finally pushed her way through and she screamed in my head so loud it ended up coming out of my mouth "MATE!"

He just stares at me with that smug look on his face. Acting like he knew this the whole time. " There's no way you are my mate." I say trying my best not to wrap my arms around him like my wolf wants me too. " I cannot even sense your wolf." My body is acting on its own following him willingly. He leads me to a cave underneath the waterfall. I knew I heard one. "Little one" he says with a powerful voice that makes me jump "we will sleep here for the night. I will explain everything to you once we reach my home."I go to argue this and tell him that I am indeed going home right now, but he picks me up cradle style and sits with his back against the wall holding me. My wolf is ecstatic and my body seems to relax in his arms and I quickly fall asleep.

I awaken to him carrying me through the forest. With no idea how long he has been carrying me. I must've been sleeping pretty hard due to the fact that I am now wearing his shirt. "Ah, you're finally awake." He says. "Mhmm" is all I seem to muster up. He seems satisfied with my response and continues talking. " We will be at our destination soon. There are a few things I need to discuss with you before we cross. You need to listen and follow my instructions, can you do that?" I look at him and take in his appearance before answering. He has slightly pale skin, green eyes that make my heart flutter for no reason, but his words and expression seem genuine. He seems to have no intentions to hurt me. All I can do is trust him. He is my mate after all, even if he isn't my kind. "y.. yea. I'm listening." I manage to say. His eyes widen slightly like he was surprised then return to his serious look. " Your kind isn't welcome here. You need to stay with me at all times until they accept you as mine. I know I am your mate, but we aren't the same. I know you have been wondering what I am and why I am taking you with me. You see, when your parents came to my land years ago, my father found you. You were so focused on him you didn't see me. I tried to tell you about me for years, but I wasn't strong enough. I knew then you were mine. You were made for me. I have no idea why we are destined to be together. I am a vampire, you a wolf. It doesn't make sense. Until they accept you, I fear you won't be safe unless you are next to me." he stops and waits for my response. I stare mostly from the shock of being mated to a vampire. " I, um. I don't know what to say. I will stay close to you. You're my mate. For some reason I feel safe with you even though I don't know you." He nods in approval. He steps out of the forest and I begin to see houses, roads, and people. He is careful not to be noticed by walking behind the buildings and in alleys. We reach a big building towards what seems like the middle of the town, and sneak through the back door. Still carrying me, he goes up a staircase and into a room. He then sets me gently on the bed. "No one knows I went and got you. My father knows I know who my mate is...." "Just not who" I finish for him. He nods approvingly. We sit in silence for a few minutes taking everything in. I begin to warm up, and start looking around the room. I notice he is standing opposite of me across the room. I shift in place uncomfortably. I am mixed with emotions. I want to be next to him, to be held by him, but I also don't want to be here and want to go home. He must've sensed it because the next thing I know he is wrapping his arms around me telling me it will all be okay. "Will, your Dad be okay with me being here?" He looks down at me, "He will not have a choice. You're mine. My father is the king. he knows how important having your mate with you is." My eyes widen in shock. "you're telling me that not only is my mate a vampire, but not just any vampire. The vampire prince." He chuckles slightly "Yes, my queen. I will be the next King." Hearing him call me his Queen sent a fantastic feeling through my body, and before I could control myself, I was standing and My lips were on his. He immediately kissed me back. His kiss was full of passion. His hands go down my back caressing my ass picking me up. My legs wrap around him. He deepens the kiss laying me on his bed taking his now free hand and exploring my body. My body wants him. I want him. No, I need him. I let him undress me and I undress him. I can feel his c**k pressing against me. "NO" I yell out. He stops and looks at me. "Are you sure, I can feel your excitement' he says. "Yes, I am sure." He gets up without any hesitation and leaves me laying there. I quickly realize that I am naked and run to the bathroom that's attached to his room. I turn on the shower and sit there beating myself up about what I almost let happen. 'How could I let him do that.' I yell at myself. "He's our mate" Violet chimes in. "But we don't even know his name" I remind her. "Doesn't matter, he's ours" Violet tries to convince me. It doesn't work, I block her out the last thing I need is for my wolf to try and tell me that it's okay to just give our mate everything because he's our mate. I don't believe that. Just because he is my mate doesn't mean that I have to willingly give him everything just because he's my mate. I must've been deep in thought because the sound of his door busting open makes me jump. "Just because you're my father doesn't give you the right to come in my room whenever you want to." I hear him say. "I can smell her. Everyone can smell her. She cannot be here." His dad tells him. "I don't care what everyone else thinks. She isn't going anywhere." He says sternly. "Alexander, she must not stay here, they will rebel. What made you think it was a good idea to bring her here? " His father asked. "SHE'S MY MATE" then everything went silent.
