I’m trapped between the podium and one of the Kings. He’s still buried in my neck as if he couldn’t get enough of me, his hands gripping my waist tighten and I can feel the bulge pressing against my stomach.. My heart racing and I know he can hear it, even though I’m a vampire I have a fluttering heartbeat that my father compared to a hummingbirds wings.. It’s fast but at the right moment if can be slow.. Right now I feel like it’s beating even faster than normally.. He moves down so he’s on his knees in front of me, his ear to my chest, well on my left breast and his hands move onto my back, pulling me closer against him as if that would help him get a better shot at listening.
“A strange heart.” He whispers softly and I try to calm myself.. I open my eyes and I see him knelt there, eyes closed and I never knew a king can still look kingly in a weak position.. But here he is.. I hear a groan then a whimper.. Belt buckle and a brutal ‘leave’.
“What are you doing?” Someone’s deep voice asks from behind me, I turn slightly and that wilderness smell engulfs me, along with the smell of s*x that clings to him.. I don’t smell the other woman on him but the smell of it on him drives me mad.. He looks at me then at his brother confused, he looks just like the Eastern King but his eyes are a darker blue, like the ocean, a hint of green in the depths. My voice is caught in my throat as his eyes move onto his brother. I notice a scar on his cheek.. It looks good on him.
“She smells so good.. Smell her..” King of the eastern kingdom speaks up.. I close my eyes.. Their names.. I wrack my brain trying to remember their names.. Valentine is the King of the West.. Felix is the king of the South.. Khol is the King of the North and Fallon is the king is the East. So Fallon is the one on my chest while Felix is at my neck.. Smelling me, I hear a moan escape from his lips as his left hand grabs my hair slightly tilting my head back so he can smell me better.. I close my eyes as he bites the sport that connects my neck to my shoulder. I gasp causing King Fallon to jerk and look up, he stands upright and pulls Fallon away from me.
“Why do you smell intoxicating?” Fallon asks.. They don’t know… They’re older by generations, and they never found their mate.. Usually vampires stop aging at twenty so we have more facial features to develop. Well more features all together. So they probably gave up finding their mates a long time ago.. My heart aches slightly and they’re both fidgeting in front of me.
“I have no idea. Bid you a happy Birthday your majesties.” I give a small bow without breaking eye contact with them and I turn to rush out the podium and back to my family.. I see my father standing by a group of men.. I decide to stand beside him and just smile and look pretty.
“You have a mark on your chest and your neck.” My father whispers, my eyes widen and I sigh softly as I pull my father away from everyone and whisper this charm that would mute our conversation to prying ears.. Silence.. That one command can silence our conversation so it’ll be private in public.
“I ran into two Kings.. And.. I think they’re my mates.” I tell him and he stares down at me in silence then he glances in the Kings direction, I turn slightly and I see all four of them staring at me.
“What did you do?” He whispers and I sigh softly.
“I didn’t do anything! I was just roaming around and stumbled on one in an intimate scene… And the other one came from within the shadows and he smelt me!” I tell him and he nods slowly at me then he sighs as he looks around.
“I’ll find your mother and we’ll leave.” He tells me and I nod.. I didn’t want to honestly.. I glance again at them and I see them all beckon me forward.. I’m hesitant.. My body sways slightly, I want to go to them but I fight the urge..
Third Person POV;
Fallon had walked up to Valentine and Khol as they were watching the humans.. Khol sees his brother distraught and he nudges Valentine. Valentine looks at him then at Fallon.
“What is it?” Valentine asks as Fallon and Felix.. They look around the room until they find what they were looking for.
“The woman in the red dress.” Fallon whispers causing both Khol and Valentine to look for her, they find her.. Valentine is smacked with her smell as he focuses on her.. She smells of Roses and earth.. Like she just rolled in mud and grass but it’s not a disgusting smell, no.. This smell is good.. She’s talking to an older man who looks just like her, her father.. What’s his name? Jared Flores.. The Flores.. They’re well known in the small mountains, it’s a forest mountain.. That’s why she smells like that.. Valentine doesn’t need an explanation why she smells so good, as soon as their eyes locked she knew as well what she was to them.. She’s the four brothers Mate.. She looks nervous as she looks at her father, their lips move but there’s no sound, no matter how hard Valentine tries to listen to them.. There’s no words coming from them.. She can bare magic.. He knows a few witches who can silence their conversation so prying ears wouldn’t hear what they discuss.. But he can hear her strange heartbeat.. She doesn’t smell like a human, no she smells like a vampire does.. A hint of undead.. But life? She’s a hybrid to top it off.. A witch must be the mother.
“MORGANA!! Come do your fire trick!” A woman’s shrill voice speaks up into the crowd.. Valentine sees the golden beauty stare at them as he beckons her, she sways slightly but the woman’s voice broke the spell, she walks to the woman. Now their conversation Valentine can hear..
“Mother.. I don’t want to.” She whispers, even her voice sounds angelic..
“It doesn’t matter! Do it anyways! Now!” The woman demands.. They’re both short, same body type, the woman must be the mother biologically..
“Kings! Come look! My daughter will perform the fire arts for you! I have your spare clothes Morgana.” The woman speaks up then Morgana stares at her horrified.. A few minutes go by until the golden beauty walks from behind the black curtains, her pinned hair now loose and looking voluminous. She’s wearing a red tube rope that holds her massive rack.. A red fluttering skirt with golden lace sown onto it, her feet bare and for Valentines comfort she was exposing too much of her skin although it was just cleavage and her stomach.. There.. she has a birthmark that matches all four brothers.. It’s a heart right on her left hip, yes.. All four brothers have the same birthmark and placement.
“Your majesties..” she whispers as she does a curtesy bow.. First she stands there until Valentine and the four brothers see her tan skin glowing until she steps forward, it’s a fire outline of her body, the crowd gasps as she grabs the flame with her hand, no pain on her face or anything, as soon as she whips it forward it was just that, a whip.. she twirls it so effortlessly and she has everyone amazed.. A song plays, her cheeks flushed as she glances at the woman who has her arms crossed over her chest watching her with a stern look, the man beside her silently apologizing to her.. The fire slowly turns from a bright red into a soft blue color, the heat changing from hot to a cold burn, even from up the steps he can feel it.. The flame slowly twirls around her moving along her body like a snake, she holds her palm out and a woman who is tall and graceful walks to her, takes her hand and everyone cheers as they’re both engulfed in the flames, they move together in a dance, a tango..
Felix watches her in awe, her hips swaying and moving to the rhythm of the music as well as the tall blur next to her. The flame flicked from blue, red, then finally black.. The black flame followed by a scream.. The tall blue screamed.. Causing everyone to jerk.. Morgana stops and stares at the woman who withers in pain.. She crouches down as the flames snake up to her and caress her before melting into her body.
“YOU FILTHY MUTT! YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE!” She screams causing Felix to jerk.. How dare she yell at her like that! Who the hell does she think she is?! Felix steps back wondering why he was getting so mad.
“I told you, jealousy wouldn’t work in this dance Valerie.. I don’t understand why you’re jealous.” Morgana whispers, the woman was now reassuring everyone everything was okay.
“We’d like to speak with your daughter in private, Jared Flores.” Valentines voice speaks up, Jared looks shocked and a little worried.. As he should be. His daughter will be mated to the four Kings.
“Your name.” Valentine speaks as they’re in a private room, a witch made sure to charm the room.. So it’ll be private. The room lit by a few lanterns and holds a couch and a chair that are split by the coffee table.. She’s sitting on the chair staring at all three of them.
“My names Morgana Flores..” she tells them, her voice strong but she’s choking.. Probably on all their scents mixing together.. Felix supposes that’s the reason.. Valentine explained she is their mate.. That’s why she smells so delicious and why they all want to be close to her.. She’s dressed in her red attire and not her dress, Felix likes them both honestly.. He doesn’t know which one he preferred.. No, he knows what he’ll prefer.. Her naked underneath him.. Yeah, that’s what he wants.. He wants to worship her from her head down to her toes..
“Do you understand why you’re back here?” Valentine asks her, she looks from him to each brother, her green mossy eyes landing on Felix last, it excites him how she stares at him.. Her smell wafting to his nose making it very hard for him to stay sitting on the couch.. No, he wanted to take her then and there and he knows for a fact his brothers want that as well.. How could they not? Look at her? Her beautiful gold hair clashing with that beautiful tanned skin, she looks like the sun kisses her the day she was born.. Her eyes remind him of the moss of the mountains.. Her lips painted black but he can see how full and luscious they are, he knows for a fact they’re soft.
VALENTINES POV;
Staring at her makes him hungry, he’s holding back for her sake.. She looks flustered with the way her cheeks are red, her eyes look watery.. Her hair now clipped back into place.. She’s missing her dress and she’s very self conscious.. How could she not be? They were all staring at her with lustful eyes.. She’s practically not wearing anything, the skirt is very thin you can see the thong she’s wearing underneath.. Valentines surprised she’s even wearing panties.. Her silence is making him nervous though.
“Speak!” His voice rings out, she winces and the other start bristling.. The fact he raised his voice at her, they’re getting angry. “Apologies.. You’re silence makes me nervous.” He speaks up which settles his brothers down. Not her though, no.. She’s staring at him horrified.
“I’m your mate..” she whispers softly, the confidence in her voice disappearing, the fear in her eyes are evident.
“How old are you?” Fallon speaks up, his voice gruff with lust, she glances at him and her face softens slightly.
“I’m twenty eight years old.. I was born twenty eight years ago..” she tells him then she looks at Valentine.. He’s the oldest by five minutes.. Each brother are five minutes apart.. All except Fallon, he’s ten minutes younger than Felix.
“You’re a fledging..” Fallon whispers as he stares at her.. She’s barely lived her life.. And here they are, about to take her away and have her travel to each kingdom to get used to each brother.
