By the time we awoke it was already dark and the stars were shining bright in the sky. I woke atop him with my arm over his abs. I smiled to myself as I studied his sleeping features. He looked relaxed and serene as he slept. Suddenly I saw him smile. "Your watching me." He said as he opened his eyes. I could feel myself blush but honestly I didn't care. "You're very handsome Jake." He smiled even wider and my heart felt like it was doing back flips in my chest. "Well I'll take that as a very high compliment coming from someone as beautiful as you." He told me as he pulled my body up for us to be face to face. I smiled at him with my blush growing deeper. He kisses me just barely on the tip of my nose. I giggle. I look him in his sky blue eyes and I say the one thing I have felt since we were barely old enough to know what mates were. "I love you." He flipped us over so that he was above me and kissed my lips with enough passion to let me know he felt the same way. He kissed me as he held me tight between his body and the ground. I tangled my fingers in his floppy ash blonde hair and lightly pulled it. He groaned into my mouth and I could feel him getting hard again. I smiled against his lips and I just knew we were going to be inseparable. We spent half the night just basking in each others embrace. Eventually though we knew we had to go back. We stand up and I find his shirt to throw back over my naked body as he pulls his boxers and Jean's over his legs and covers his cute ass. "Pervert." I hear winter say in my mind. "You were checking him out just as much as I was." I responded in my mind but giggled out loud. He turned and I realized my eyes were still aimed towards his lower half. I look away quickly and see him smirk. "Were you just checking out my ass?" He asked as he sauntered over to me and grabbed my hips in his rough hands. "And what if I was?" I responded. His smirk grew and before i knew it he slid his hands from my hips to my ass grabbing the spot where my cheeks met with my thighs. I squealed and ran away. He was fast, so fast he stood before me again and I had to make an abrupt stop nearly falling over myself. He catches me and laughs as I frantically try to escape him. "Just stop trying to run away from me and I'll release you angel." He whispers into my ear. I stop moving and he releases my arms but slides his left hand down to entwine his fingers with mine. We walk hand in hand back to the lake house. When we get there we see lights on inside but I know that when I left I had turned them all off. I just assumed it was Spencer or Markos but the person we were met with was the last person I expected to see.
We walk in and sitting at the kitchen island is none other than Wendell York, Jacolbys father. I can feel the blood drain from my face and when I take a chance and glance at Jacolby his face is paler than usual. "Father? Um what are you doing here?" Jacolby asked him. His voice shook with nervousness. "The better question my son is what is the believed dead heiress and future Luna queen of wolves doing here?" His father questioned him in a stern voice. "Did you really believe that I wouldn't notice the mark? Or the change in your attitude? Or perhaps that you have been going off for hours, sometimes even days at a time?" His father questioned further. "Dad it's not what you think.?" He spoke as he tried to calm his father down. "Oh? And what is it about then?" He asked in an angered tone. "Her sister tried to kill her and even hired some human men to do it. Me and Markos and Spencer were supposed to be the coordinators for her death but instead we kept her alive hoping to use her to change things for our people and theirs. But it turns out that Addison is my mate." He ended his speach and I could feel my body shake with rage. My sister was the culprit. She was always behind everything that went wrong in my life and now I know she was the one behind my attempted murder. My eyes burned with unwashed tears as I squeezed my mates hand tighter. His fathers face seemed paler than before as he looked between me and Jacolby. "You are her mate?" He asked with a shocked expression. "Yes dad I am her mate and I didn't know how to tell anyone knowing that she is supposed to be dead." My mate explained. His father stood and with an unreadable expression approached us. He suddenly smiled and pulled Jacolby and I into a warm embrace. "I am so happy for you my son. I have always dreamed that you would find someone and to think that you are the first ever Vampire mate? I'm impressed and very happy to know that with your union coming to a front and being brought to the worlds attention is going to join our people together." His father said as he pulled back and looked at us with tears streaming down his face. He then turned and looked directly into my eyes. "You will make an amazing queen one day young princess." I gave him a small smile and thanked him. I remember meeting him a few times growing up whenever he and my parents would have meetings. My parents would have me sit in on the meetings to learn about politics so that I could one day be a great ruler. Now that I know my parents were not to blame for the accident I understand that they truly did expect me to rule one day. But while they treated me as more a politician than a daughter and spoiled my sister they inevitably ruined her. She was spoiled and self centered. His father retook his seat at the island and Jacolby and I took our own seats. We sat there for hours just talking. His father told us many stories about Jacolbys childhood. Some making him blush and me laugh while the others had us all laughing. Eventually the king began telling us about his first wife and how when she died he believed he would never remarry but felt that his kingdom was always stronger with a queen though he wished his judgement was better when choosing his second and even his third wife. "I know that Magdila is not faithful but I don't have the heart to risk going through this again. I honestly envy you both. You don't have to fear your significant other being unfaithful because you were made for each other. Made to enjoy the same things and share a bond that I only knew with my first wife. I pray that the gods protect you both and that they keep you both in their hearts." I blushed because he was basically giving us his blessing. I was still nervous about going back to the kingdom. He talks about me becoming their queen as well but there has never been a love between a vampire and werewolf. Hell in our world that kind of relationship was considered taboo and now the future rulers of both worlds are fated to be together? How could this all be? What were the gods thinking when they decided to pair up 2 completely different species and bring them together and their kingdoms that are peaceful yet don't intermingle often. His father stood and we joined him believing we would be seeing him off but instead he insisted we come back to the palace tonight so that I can meet his third wife and become acquainted with his staff. We try to decline but he is the king and kings don't take no for an answer. I go to my room and put on a pair of black shorts and a tank top with gray skulls on it. I throw on a pair of socks and my regular boots before going out in to the kitchen with the few other clothes I own and the comforter Jake bought me. Jake gives me a small smile. "Have you ever been on the back of a motorcycle before?" He asks. I give him a sly smirk. "I dress like this and you ask me that?" I respond. "Understood." Was all he could say. We loaded my things into his fathers car and walked over to his black Harley. He hands me his helmet. "I can't except this." I told him. It's his only one. I try to hand it back to him but he gives me a stern look letting me know I'm gonna have to wear it. I put it on and we climb on his bike. The ride is exhilarating and the wind on my exposed skin is cold yet with him I'm warm from the electricity. I hold him tightly and rest my cheek against his back as we speed down the road. It's not a long ride and when we reach the palace I am captivated once more by its large grey walls and beautiful garden like front yard. I haven't been here since i was 12 years old. Just before I went away to school the cities decided to throw me a going away party. It was a masquerade ball with lovely music and delicious cuisines. I remember dancing with an ash blonde and blue eyed boy that night not wanting to believe it was the boy from the meadow because humans in the vampire society were never royals and yet here he seemed to be dressed in fine clothes and wearing a black mask. I never even suspected it was him but Winter knew. She knew and never told me until the day before yesterday. I hold myself tightly to him. "I never want to let him go" Winter said with a happy smile. "I don't either." I told her.
He parks his bike and we climb off and take the stairs. We get to the large double door and go inside where we are greeted by a smug looking older woman. "Who the hell might this be dear?" She asked the king with an ice cold tone. "Magdila this is Addison my sons mate." Jacolbys father stated matter of factly. She looked me up and down and sniffed the air. "4 dogs in less than 48 hours and this one claims to be OUR sons mate." She says with disgust lacing her voice. "She is not a dog. I am not your son. And she IS my mate and will eventually be YOUR queen." I almost laughed at her face as he spoke with venom dripping from his tone and his father did nothing to defend his wife. "You will treat her with respect or you will leave this castle." His father told her. I gave her a smug look of my own as Jake and I walked up the stairs to his room. His room was pretty simple with a bed, nightstand, and television with a dresser acting as its stand. There was also a book shelf covered with books from recent release dates and one from the first Kings. Jake showed me where I could put my things and guided me to our bathroom. Ingave him a wry smile as i began to take his shirt off of him. "What are you doing angel?" He asked me. "I'm getting you ready to take a shower with me. Is that a problem?" He smiled at my words and began to undress himself as i undressed as well. I climb in first and set the temperature to a comfortable burn. He climbs in after I tell him the water is fine. "FINE MY ASS! THAT s**t BURNS!" He screams. I laugh loudly. "When you get in first you can set the temp." I told him while still laughing. We wash up and rinse but don't get out. We stay in the shower just admiring each other and he runs his hands over me discovering each sensitive nook and cranny of my skin. I kiss him full of passion but just as he begins to kiss back I jump out of the shower and grab a towel. I dry off quickly and wrap my hair in a towel and run to the bed just to dive under the covers. He follows me a minute later and we make love long into the night before we fall asleep in each others arms.
