Bleeding sun

It’s is time

Waylen POV

A week earlier, the capital of Melhellios.

The wind whipped past my face, as I raced down the winding road.

I came up to the final peak and I could see my parents' castle. The air smelled of the sea and the sunset behind the mountains to the west and, even after all these centuries, the light still poured on the castle and the drums in the distance signaled my arrival... Like all Pires, my parents had homes on all the major continents and even owned this whole hidden island so much that it was no longer printed on modern-day maps. But my mom would never stay in modern cities for long. She always talked my father into bringing her back to the hidden home.

I pulled into the large driveway and Mario the valet smiled in greeting, seeing that I was without a driver. I could tell he was excited about getting behind the wheel of my LIonXR20.

I parked and I tossed him the keys as I headed up the stairs. I couldn't miss the sound of the tires screeching as he drove the car away to go park it.

I approached the grand door, not at all too surprised to see Jericho the head butler right on time to open it.

“Welcome Back Your highness, “ the ancient man said.

“Please Jericho, you're like a second father to me. We don’t need formalities.”

“ If that’s truely, how you feel. Then you should know that. I’m stuck in my ways and won’t change your highness.”

I chuckled. I heard heels approaching the steps at a blinding speed, so I looked up in the direction of the sound and at the beautiful woman in a gold dress cut to both look regal and glamorous with a high afro ponytail that whooshed as she descended the stairs. I couldn’t stop the smile that plastered itself on my face.

“ Happy Birthday my son, “

My mother said as she engulfed me in a hug that lifted me off the ground.

“ Sundrop let the man breath. you act as if you haven’t seen Way in Decades, and it's only been a few weeks, “ my father’s voice boomed.

“ Dad, leave the mama’s boy alone.”

My sister Ruby said.

My mother loosened her hold and we walked from the grand foyer to the large dining room where my brother Marlyn and his mate Dina waited, as well as Ruby’s shifter mate Garland.

My nieces Diamond and Sapphire sat in their high chairs while my nephew Marlyn jr or MJ tried to escape my brother's arms.

“Happy Birthday Uncle Way,” MJ said.

“Thank you MJ,” I said. I brushed his locks from his face to kiss him on the forehead while giving my brother a side hug.

I headed over to my nieces next, giving Garland a handshake and a hug and pat on the back.

“Uncle Way, ”

“Uncle Way,” the twins said. I pick one up with each arm.

“Hello, my beautiful princesses.”

“Happy Birthday,” Diamond said.

“Thank you for our gift,” Sapphire said.

“ And what gift would that be,” said Ruby as she came forward.

“The one waiting for us at home in 2 weeks, “ said Diamond.

Ruby frowned, putting on her mom's voice “What did I say about telling people your visions before they can choose?”

“ We shouldn’t try to control people’s fate.

And by telling anyone about our visions, we change their natural reaction to the path in front of them.“ the girls said in unison.

“But I thought that was just about our Aunty, not about presents,” said Sapphire.

If it wasn’t for the reaction on Ruby’s face I would have assumed the girls were talking about Dina, but the way my mother paled, it could only mean they were talking about one person, in particular my future Mate.

“Hmmm, I see my princess has found my queen but my meanie of a little sis won’t let you tell me. do I get any hints?”

“Absolutely, not,” Ruby said.

“But we’re not the only ones who know mama,” Sapphire said while Diamond’s eyes lingered on my Mom.

“Okay, that’s enough of the future we’re in the present to celebrate my eldest.. Now let’s sit down and eat” and with that, the conversation was over. It was just like my father changing the subject to stop anyone, including his son, from questioning his mate.

We all sat pausing the conversation for now to enjoy the wonderful meal created by the staff.

When the dinner was over, my father called Marlyn and i to his study. While the ladies took the little ones up to bed, separating me from anyone with info about my mate

“Have some O neg and cool off you like someone just kicked your favorite puppy” My father said as he pulled the chill blood from the fridge. Poor all of us a glass

I tipped back my glass. The chilled blood cooling my temper.

“So Roman tells me you decided to move to the Angelcoasta,” Marlyn said.

“It seems there's a nest infested with night sickness.”

“Any sign of Bloodskers? ” my father asked.

“ Not yet, but I figured you would like that I'm handling this threat in person, since the census for the area has been corrupted.”

“Any Ideas on the Sire? ”

“Hmmm no leads which is what is so troubling about this case. ”

“Which means more likely than not. A Whisper is involved.” I did not want to deal with whispers and earth magick but I would contact the Angelcosta Ww and find out if she had sensed any disturbances.

“I know you have been drawn to the city for a while and considering what your mom said about my Gems vision, I can’t help but think that this incident isn't the only reason for your move.”

My father said with a small smirk and I smiled back, grateful for the hint that would lead me to my mate.

After catching on to my brother's reign and hearing the crazy antics of my nieces and nephews I head upstairs to my rooms.

I undress as fast as only a vampire can and lay in my bed and and close my eyes and drift off to sleep

A fog fills the room the smell of cocoa butter and honey suckle wafting into the air.

I felt the Softest skin ass thick and beautiful legs were laid across my hips and my eyes traced up the legs as far as my eyes could go and I felt my self wanting to growl in sadistic triumph at the fog Distorting my view mine and hair as soft as cotton candy layer across my chest her soft hands played across my abs as she traced along

I had never felt so warm or content.

As I gather myself I reached out I wasn’t surprised that my hands passed through the fog woman. But still she giggled and the voice was filled with wonder and love. As she said

“Find me my love ”
