Hans and Julian we're ready to fight when Trisha and Kelly came, "I think you both need to stop."Kelly said.
"With all due respect Prince Hans, the Oracle doesn't say things that won't happen, that's what they do, foretold futures. It may be a ninety-ten chance but we can't turn a blind eye to what is going on in front of us." Trisha added
"I know you are worried, but she is chosen for a reason and I believe Justin too." Julian ended.
* * * * *
Justin and Elle appeared in an alley in the human world. Elle's eyes widened and her jaw dropped to her amazement, "Are we....are we in the human world?" she whispered.
Justin smiled at her cuteness, "I thought it would be safer for you to stay here for a while. Wait let me see if your power would work here." he said
She wrinkled her forehead, "What power?" she asked innocently. "Oh but royalties are not allowed to use their power outside their kingdom," she warned.
"Elle, I'm not royalty. Right now, I'm just a bodyguard who tried to keep you safe from those drastically in-need creatures."
Justin focused on a bottle from a distance then later it appeared in his hand. "I guess your powers work here."
"But, summoning power is not my power." she said then she remembers what the werewolf prince said, "Justin could you be the werewolf's lost prince?"
Justin just stares at her. "Elle, that would be the biggest joke I ever heard in my entire life. I mean, what makes an ordinary boy like me who grow up in this part of the world become the lost prince?" he pointed out.
"But looking at you now, you seem to have handled my power so well. Nobody can contain them even my brother," she added.
He shook his head, "Have you ever tried transferring your power to your brother then? Look maybe your powers work well with me since I am your chosen mate. Isn't that what Trisha said? he asked.
Elle didn't say a word but stared at him instead. He cupped her face, " Let's not worry about that for now. We will find out as soon as your power will return to you in a week. For now, let's settle here in my world." Then he looks at Elle with her royal dress, "But surely you can't walk around here looking like that. You wait here, don't go anywhere, I will be right back."
Elle frowned, "Wait you can't leave me here."
"I will be quick. I will just get something that we surely need if we need to stay here for some time," he explained.
"But Justin, have you forgotten, some other vampires live here in your world too? I'm sure they have picked up my scent as soon as we arrived here," she uttered.
Then a voice in his head spoke, "Cover her with your scent?"," How will I do that?" he asked back. "Skinship might work or you'll just have to kiss her, especially the part of her neck, it's usually where her scent came from since she is unmated. It will at least give you some minutes before it wears off."
Justin looks at her intensely which made Elle feel uncomfortable. She bowed her head when suddenly Justin pinned her to the wall and kissed her on the lips. Caught by surprise Elle wasn't able to react directly but when he reached her neck she suddenly grips on his shoulder when he hit her soft spot. She felt there was a hot aura coming out from her body as it reacted on its own to his every move.
On the other hand, Justin was doing everything the voice in his head instructed, "You need to suck but don't bite. Leave a mark to let them know that she is someone else property. Justin took the time to kiss every part of her neck until trying to find the spot to leave his mark when he heard her moan. "That's your cue, leave your mark there. That's the right spot." then Justin suck on that spot taking Elle into another sensation, breathing deeper and holding him, even more, tighter as she held him tighter this time.
Justin was feeling a lot of rush inside him. He became more manly strong, something inside him has been awakened but he couldn't pinpoint what, every time he hears her moan and reacted to his every action made him feel something else as the voice inside him became restless and wild. He continued what he is doing as it became more intense but it all halted when he hears her call out.
"Justin," she said with heavy breathing, "This isn't the right place for this," she whispered.
Realizing what she said, he licks her neck to finish earning Elle to frown once more. He backs up a little so that he could see her face. "I think with my scent in you will buy me some time."
She nods her head when realization again hits her that she had already wrapped her legs around his torso. How did you know...?"
Justin tracing his mark on her neck cut her words, "It doesn't matter how I know about that." he connects his forehead to hers as he closes his eyes, "All I know is, I have this unexplainable feeling towards you. Something inside me wants you."
He slowly lowered Elle to stand on the ground. "Stay here, I'll be quick, okay?" he stares straight into her orbs as she slowly nods her head in submission. He kissed her forehead and walks away.
When he is no longer in sight, Elle started to look for something and found a broken glass to use as a weapon to protect her but her mind is playing on the emotion that she felt in the hands of her mate. Something so euphoric she couldn't even explain it.
She shook her head to dismiss her thoughts, "Not now Elle, you need to pay attention you're completely alone in an unknown world you need to focus." she took a deep breath and scan the area.
* * * * *
Meanwhile, Justin came to an abandoned factory. He slowly made his way inside looking around with caution. Not for long, he reached a certain room. He busted it open and went to a particular area of the room just below the bed, detached a pile of wood, and pull out a bag. He opened to check and a huge amount of money was inside. He grabs the back but on his way out group of men was already standing blocking the exit.
"You're finally back. We've been looking all over for you." Wilson the head of another Mafia clan said. "You traitor, my brother is dead because of you." then guns were aimed at him.
Justin slowly raised his hand to surrender, and sigh as a sign of defeat.
Back to the alley, Elle was tracing her finger to where Justin left a mark with some question, "Why did he lick my neck? It's a vampire behavior after he feeds, as a second thought it's also a Werewolf thing when it marks his property. So it's either it's a vampire thing or his gesture to he owned me." a lot of things were going on through her head until she heard a woman screaming.
Sensing that someone is in danger, she came out from hiding and peeps into the situation.
"Please, please. I have a family. We came here to live in peace." the woman said but the three men only laughed about it.
"Well you should have known it before you step out from your area." the front man said.
"This is the human world, we don't have areas here. We share this place since we all took refuge here. Besides, I don't think your prince will not allow you to hurt me." she added.
"Too bad the prince is not in this world for now. He is back home helping his good-for-nothing queen sister." the man behind replied
"Don't mock your Queen. She is doing everything to maintain peace in our world."
"Well like you said, she's our Queen, so it's none of your business what we say about her. And no one will stop us what we will do to you today." he grabs a fist full of hair and drags the woman to the corner.
As soon as the woman felt the pain she transforms herself into her werewolf form while the men into their vampires ready to attack.
They were about to get her when Elle, forgetting her situation came out from the open, "Stop, what do you think you are doing?"
At first, the vampires looked terrified seeing their Queen in front of them, the werewolf lowered her head in surrender not even taking a glance at the royalty in front.
"You are supposed to follow a rule here. You are all commoners and will share everything will other entries while you're here. The war between our kind does not exist here."
The vampires bowed their heads, afraid to look her straight in the eyes. A shiver runs their spine when they are reminded of how powerful their Queen is and how ruthless she is with punishment.
* * * * *
In the factory, Justin was on the ground panting as he received punches and kicks from the mafia men. He wipes the blood from his mouth, "Listen, Wilson, what I did to my clan was necessary. I only want them to be controlled but they fought back. I never wanted them to die. They were my family too."
"You're right, my brother accepted you as a brother even if you are different. He taught you everything and that is how you repay him. By putting him to his grave." Justin's eyes yield tears.
"Wilson, even if you wanted to kill me now it won't work. You might as well just go before I kill you all." the mafia men laugh at his statement.
"Are you kidding me? Who do you think you are, some kind of a God? You are surrounded." Wilson shouted.
"Believe me, letting you walk away is the only thing I can compensate your brother for taking me all my life. I don't want to end your clan, please just leave." Justin begged. He suddenly felt a paddle behind him.
"Between you and me Justin, there's only one man who walks out here alive. And that's me." before he lost consciousness.
* * * * *
The werewolf is growling at the three vampires, she's trying to protect Elle from the vampires when they realize she is powerless.
"How did you become powerless Queen? Did you mate with the wrong one? Well judging from that mark, I think you have." the werewolf took a side glance at the markings on her neck then growled again to the vampires.
One vampire sprinted toward them but the wolf was fast enough to counter a kick and a scratch on his body that made the vampire scream before it burned and turn into ashes.
Elle looks at her. Not all werewolves can do that. Only a few and chosen are given that ability to defend themselves. It's either you belong to the royal family or you are part of the family that protects the royal blood.
The vampires were now vicious for losing a friend now they want to avenge their friend by calling up some more backup.
The Werewolf positioned herself in front of Elle, "Do you have a plan Queen? If you have, now is the time to execute them, we are greatly outnumbered."
"I wish I could give you an answer, but I'm afraid I'm a liability this time." she bent down and whispered to the wolf, "Its blood moon." the wolf looks at her in disbelief.
"Ah, shocks! What are you doing here then? Trying to get yourself killed?" then she growled to the vampires.
"That wasn't the plan as I came here with someone else. But it looks like he's late." she raised the glass in her hands to protect herself.
"Well, if you know how to call him. I think now is the time," she replied.
"I tried but I don't think he hears me. And I'm worried he might be in danger too." Elle answered back.
"Mate?" she asked, "Sort of.", "Another vampire?" but she got no answer from Elle, "Huh, interesting." then she went on to fight.
"Justin, where are you?" suddenly she felt a liquid falling from the sky one at a time until it became rain. The werewolf can hold the vampires who are busy to put her down but then the vampires halted when they smell something. Their eyes started to twitch when they realized the smell came from the unmated vampire Queen. All their attention is now on Elle.
The werewolf positioned back near Elle, "Climb on, we need to get out from here. Your scent is making them loco and soon more others will come, hurry!"
Elle climb on the werewolf's back as they try to escape from the male vampires.
* * * * *
Justin woke up slowly when he's hearing a faint voice. "Justin, where are you...we need your help." his eyes quickly open when he realizes the owner of the voice, he also immediately notices that he's about to get stabbed when he effortlessly breaks the chain wrapped around him and caught the hand, and twists it to lose the knife.
"As I said, all you need to do is to leave me alone to stay alive." but still Wilson didn't stop, "Kill him!" all his men aimed their guns at him and fired at him just in time when Justin heard Elle's voice clearly on his head, "Justin!"
The mafias were shocked to see the bullets from their guns float around Justin then a red and blue flame slowly came out from his body, "If something happened to my woman just because you kept me here for so long, I will haunt down every bloodline you have and ends it." then in the speed of light, he rendered everyone unconscious except Wilson.
He appeared behind him and whispered, "You should think of me as dead Wilson, and bury your revenge with your brother. You are no match for me." he faced him with his flaming eyes. "Never show your face in front of me ever again." then he suddenly vanished leaving the shocked Wilson.
* * * * *
"Let her go!" the werewolf shouted who is held back by a couple of vampires while Elle is pinned to the ground with the head of the vampire.
"I didn't even think I've become this lucky to have hold you like this up, close Queen." Elle feeling helpless closed her eyes and stopped resisting already. He is too strong for her.
Her tears were streaming down her face with the pouring rain. "One bite and you will become mine." he showed his sharp fang and was ready to take her when abruptly he was pushed away and hit his back on the wall.
"Open your eyes. I'm here, I'm sorry I'm late, it will never happen again, ever." Justin said.
The vampires helped their leader up while being cautious of the one who holds the Queen. They don't even know what to call him since they can't sense a vampire aura either werewolves and other entities.
"What are you?" the leader asked
Putting Elle down slowly, "I'm the Mate." then he launches off to fight the vampires. Although Justin was stronger he is still outnumbered and can't match up with them since they have the same abilities. He was almost tackled down when the werewolf came in to help.
He can't use his telekinesis at the moment, he was using it to create a shield for Elle, keeping her scent from attracting more male vampires within a 100-meter radius.
Justin didn't do much with the vampires but the werewolf, on the other hand, burn them through bites and scratches. When they successfully defeated the enemy, Justin rushed toward Elle and hugged her tight. Elle did the same.
The werewolf transformed back to her human form. She looks at him with tears in her eyes. "You're alive," she said.
Getting the attention of the two, "Excuse me, do I know you?" he asked.
"You may not remember me but I remember her so well. I stayed with her until her last breath when the other took you away," she responded.
Elle sniffed, "What do you mean she? Who are you talking about?"
"The Queen," she replied
"What Queen? What are you talking about?" he asked.
"It's not safe to talk right now, you need to go away from here. Find a place safer and blend in with the humans. We will meet again. Take her and go. More vampires are coming."
Justin stood up and left with Elle leaving the woman behind. "Be careful young prince," she uttered as she went in the other direction.
Back in the Mystical Kingdom
"Something happened in the human world. There was a series of attacks happening involving vampires and it looks like it also involves a werewolf." a vampire reported.
Massaging his forehead, "I am out from that world for just a short time and this already happened." Hans said
"Aside from that Your Highness, it seems that humans were able to witness something extraordinary for them?"
Eva came forward, "Justin got attacked by some of his fellow mafias. Trying to escape them to go to your sister's side he has no choice but to use his powers. You complete the rest."
"Your Highness is it safer for them to stay there? I mean, it has not been a day and they already attract trouble in that world." Kelly asked
"Judging from the Mate's standing, I think he can take care of her perfectly. I guess there is also a reason for them to be in that world. Now since the prophecy is unfolding we can do nothing but rely everything on their fate." Julian stated.
"What about the werewolf involve in the activity? She killed mostly all the vampires."
"Investigate. If the vampires were the ones who stepped on the boundaries, dismiss the case but if the werewolf is at fault, haunt her down and kill her." Hans ordered.
"Yes Your Highness." the soldiers bowed and left.
Eva stood near the window, "How did the werewolf kill the vampires?" she asked.
"Answering your query Fairy Princess, it seems that her bite and scratches from her nails burn the vampires."
She secretly smiled and took a deep breath and in her mind, she says, "So you're still alive. That's good then, everything will fall into place soon."
Julian frowned and approach his cousin, "What's with that smile?"
She looks at him, "Nothing to worry about, everything is still working according to plan."
* * * * *
Justin and Elle entered a room in a hotel. He led her to the bathroom. "You better clean yourself first. Get out of those wet closed before you get sick," he said
"That would be a joke since vampires don't get sick but I guess it's also possible now. I'm feeling weak," she replied.
Justin tried to get the right water temperature, "Just leave the water running. The water is not too cold and not too hot. Towels over there and wear this robe after. Your clothes will arrive in a few minutes. I will wait outside." he slowly closes the door behind him.
Then Elle spoke in his head, "Don't go far.", "I won't. I will be here when you're done", he said enough for her to hear. He came out of the bedroom and stood on the balcony. He looked outside when he felt someone was behind him.
He vanishes from where he stood and appeared behind the person gripping her on the neck, squeezing it tightly.
"It's me. I came in good faith." the woman from the alley said.
"How did you know where we are?" he asked.
"Now that I found you, I think it's difficult to lose you again."
"You know who I am?" he added.
"I know your mother." as soon as he heard mother he lose his grip.
"My mother? I only got a sister." but the woman shook her head.
"No. You're an only child. The sister that you are referring to must be your guardian. She took you away when you were still a baby to keep you safe and that's what your mother instructed. I know this since I am your mother's woman in waiting." she explained.
"You might be mistaken. You said I'm still a baby when I was taken away, how would you know that I am the one whom you are looking for?" he inquired.
"You are your mother's child. You are exactly the male version of the fallen Queen." she blurted.
"Queen? Now you are mistaken. I am not at all royalty. But the woman with you is. She's the vampire queen, am I correct? And right now you have her powers because of the blood moon. She declared you as her mate before the blood moon making you more eligible to become a vessel to contain her powers."
Justin frowned and paced back and forth, "I don't understand, I am just an ordinary human."
"You should have died as soon as her powers came inside you, but the fact that you're here and you can use her power at your will only explains that you are not human."
"And I suppose you know what I am?" he asked sarcastically.
"Yes, I know. You are the Werewolf Kingdom's lost Young Prince. The next in line to the throne, the next Alpha of the White Hound Pack."
Elle came out with eyes wide open as soon as she heard the woman's declaration.
"That's impossible, nothing about him screams a werewolf instinct," Elle said.
"It's because his powers were kept just like yours young queen. But as soon as you two are ready everything will just fall into its place."
She stood near the window, "You might hear of the Fated Ones." she opened.
"You mean the prophecy," Elle mumbled.
"Yes. Would you believe me if I say it's the two of you?"
But Justin huffed, "What's your proof that I am what you think I am?"
"Your baby blanket, your mother sewed your name to it together with the kingdom seal. That's the only proof you need to get and all the answers to your questions. Why you were forced to be in the human world? Why your memories were erased a lot of times when you can get flashes of your future, and more?
"You're the Prince of the Werewolf Kingdom," Elle uttered.
He went to her and held her hand, "It's not yet certain Elle, don't believe everything you heard just because she said she knew a lot."
"Young Queen, your powers were free at times, I'm sure when you met him you felt something unexplainable. There's an urge inside of you that wants him, get close to him, and somehow pull towards him. It's because everything else can lie but the fated hearts don't. The more you deny that the more your felt pain of some sort and when things went beyond your control something else took your senses and screamed him as your mate. Am I wrong?"
Elle looks at her with confusion, then to Justin who is already looking at her. "No, every word you said was right."
"And Justin, the first time you saw her I'm sure you are drawn to her already. The voice inside you constantly spoke to you about her which adds confusion."
"How did you know about the voice in my head," he asked
"They are our wolves. Our true form per se," she said.
"That's why I couldn't read your mind. He won't allow me to. He was protecting you from my kind and me because even you don't know he existed and you have not accepted him as a part of you." Elle enunciated.
"Please Young Queen, I implore you to give Young Prince some time to put the pieces of his life together, to know his origin. Nobody can help him now except you." the woman begged.
She smiled, "Don't worry, he is my mate, I will be with him til the end, even if he hasn't accepted me as his mate"
"But I already do."," Words are not enough Justin, you have to do something." the woman said.
"What? Tell me!" he said
"Even if you know, you still can't do it not until you're ready to be the person you should be." she cupped his face, "Just take your time." Elle said.
"I don't know where to start."
"You need to start from within. Get to know the other part inside you. He knows more than you since he never forgets."
"Thank you, umm. I believe you didn't tell us your name."
"My name is Rosie, Young Queen." she smiled.
"Rosie, would it be okay if you stay with us from now on? You may continue your duty to assist him to know his origin." Elle stated.
Rosie bowed down, "It would be an honor, your Majesty. I shall serve you both with my life."
* * * * *
Meanwhile in the Mystic World in the Dark Kingdom, while Modus was observing his crystal ball a hooded man appeared.
"My Lord, I have some information about the disturbance in the human world and it has something to do with the main kinds."
Modus sat on his throne, "Speak!"
"It seems that something is going on in the Vampire Kingdom since Prince Hans was a no-show during the incident. Vampires we're trying to abuse their power but the werewolf is no ordinary one, she stood her ground."
"Continue!" he ordered.
"The Werewolf can kill the vampire with just a scratch or bite. The vampire burn down and turned into ashes in an instant."
"Do you happen to know who this werewolf is?" Modus inquired.
"Based on my research my Lord, only a few werewolves were given that gift and they belong to the family that serves the royalty."
"So that means, it could be one of The Great Soceress' maids since you said it's a she. Find her and bring her to me. She may know where the Lost Prince is. Go!"
But the hooded man didn't move, "I have another thing to say, My Lord." Modus raised a brow, "The Vampire Queen is there too. Instead of fighting with the werewolf they teamed up and fight together."
Modus frowned, "The Queen, fought her kind to save the other?"
"But what is more interesting is that the Queen seems to be powerless."
Modus stood up and look at the dark skies, "Of course, it's the blood moon, it's normal for her to lose her ability. How did they survive?"
"Her human mate arrived just in the nick of time. He saved her. Somehow he became the vessel of all the Queen's abilities."
"Impossible. No humans can bear to contain the power of a Vampire Queen, even if you are the mate you still won't stand a chance."
"But my Lord, he did and he controls it well."
"Where are they now?" Modus asked again.
"I lose track of them. He was able to create a shield to hide them from the trackers."
"Continue to look for them and if you find them inform me immediately, I need to see this human mate with my own eyes. There's something about him that intrigues me."
"Yes My Lord." then he left.
Modus looks at the book of prophecy, "He is no ordinary human. If my hunches were right, this human might be the lost werewolf prince."
* * * * *
Elle was looking outside the window. She was admiring the view since it was her first time seeing such scenes at night. Justin stood behind her and snake his arms around her waist.
"Never thought I would be observing such a beautiful view. I usually came here in the morning and would not stay long. But now, I get to watch it as long as I want to."
But Justin stayed silent and rested his chin on top of her head.
"What are you thinking?" Elle asked.
"I need to go somewhere. I'm going to find answers to some of my questions since we can't do anything not until the blood moon ends," he replied
She turned and face him, "Do what you must."
"I may have to plant my scent to you again." they look at each other for a good minute.
Elle breaks from the stare as she bowed her head and nods her head.
Justin gently kissed her forehead, then her cheek, then her lips while Elle slowly wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders. Without breaking their kiss she slowly pushed him towards the bed. She leads him to sit as she climbs on his lap.
On the other hand, Rosie somewhere in the street keeps looking behind her when she had the feeling that she was being followed. She intends to pass on the dark alley to lure them away from the hotel where Elle and Justin are staying.
But somehow her heart picks up speed when she realizes that it's not just one kind. She wanted to change but it would be risky if humans will see her. She was feeling worried when suddenly someone pulled her.
She was squirming to free herself, "Sshhh, stop moving." the voice said. "I finally found you, Rosie." her eyes widen when she heard a familiar voice and in her head, she said, "I'm done for."
