"How do you know my name?" Namjoon asked and walked slightly in front of me as he put his arm in front of me to stop me from moving closer to the woman.

"Of course I'd know my sons name" she said kindly and moved closer,  I was shocked by her words. I'd always assumed that his mother was dead,  nevermind a random woman that appeared out of no where.

"Don't be ridiculous,  my mother is dead. Who are you really?" he asked,  beginning to sound slightly irritated by her words. Although I must say I found this slightly dodgy,  whether she was his mother or not,  she must have been watching us.

"Your mother" she stated,  also sounding more and more irritated as she spoke.  She moved up closer to Namjoon and stood looking up at him,  I saw her eyes change from the dark brown colour to green and back to brown as she stared. I looked shocked at her as I witnessed her eyes also changing similarly to Namjoons,  however she seemed to have more control over it.

"Your eyes" I said quietly as I looked between the two who were looking at eachother intensely. Namjoons eyes softened slightly as he began to believe her more.

"Oh yes,  I forgot to say. It is nice to finally meet you,  your majesty" she said and bowed to me,  I could straight away feel my eyes widening as she referred to me as 'majesty'. I couldn't help but become worried as I realised she knew who I was,  I knew people were going to find out about me soon,  but I didn't think it would be this soon.

"How do you know who I am?" I asked and moved forward,  pushing past the barrier Namjoon had created for me so that I could get closer to the woman. She rolled her eyes slightly and smiled.

"I think you two should come with me,  especially if you want to get away from Quarter Moon. I dont exactly want to be seen since I'm "dead" " she said urgently and turned around to walk into the trees, Namjoon followed her and held onto my hand as I followed closely behind.

As we continued to walk back into the trees,  we gradually sped up walking,  not into any form of running,  but into a slight jog. It's not that she couldn't run,  but she wouldn't be able to keep up with us,  not because she was older than us. But because she wasn't a vampire. I can tell vampires apart from humans and vice versa,  but she was neither. I'm not sure what she was,  is, but I'd never come across anyone like it before.

"Where exactly are we going?" I asked as we slowly jogged behind her, she was perfectly fit. As I watched her,  I couldn't help but wonder what she was,  she was obviously something that was either immortal, or at least had a much longer mortality that humans,  like us.

"To my house" she said assertively,  she pointed forward and I saw a small little cabin like house in the middle of the trees. It looked homely from what I could see on the outside.

She slowed down and walked calmly towards the house,  pulling out keys from her front pocket in her trousers. She gently opened the door,  it slightly creaked as she turned on the lights inside. I still had my sunglasses on,  luckily,  or the lights would have almost blinded me. Thankfully we were in the middle of the forest or else everyone would have seen the lights miles away. Okay,  maybe I was exaggerating, but still.

"Sit down" She said as we entered the small house,  it looked homely inside too. Although you could see that she lived alone. We moved over to the seats in the small kitchen around the little table. I didn't feel in danger,  but I didn't feel safe either... There was something eerie about this situation.

"If you are who you say you are, what was your nickname that Lee gave you?" Namjoon asked and leant into the table slightly as he inspected her. I couldn't imagine how this situation felt for him,  he'd thought she was dead,  but she seemed to be sat in front of us.

"He called me Liz" she said bluntly,  she clearly looked hurt as she spoke about him. I couldn't help but noticed the hurt in the both their eyes as they spoke. I placed my hand over Namjoons, in an attempt to calm him. His nose flared slightly as she answered and he looked down and nodded in frustration.

"Why did you leave me with him?" Namjoon said bluntly and looked up at her,  his stare was intense again as he looked at her. She looked hurt as he asked her this question. I couldn't help but become more intrigued to what she was going to answer with.

"I couldn't take you with me no matter how much I wanted to. I don't know how to control a vampire,  well at least a half vampire" she stated,  I noticed Namjoon squint his eyes and pull his eyebrows close together as she spoke. I don't think he had clicked onto the fact that she wasn't a vampire,  or at least had never been told. I had a feeling my questions were about to be answered.

"What do you mean half vampire?" Namjoon asked,  his voice no longer sounded stern or frustrated, but more concerned.

"Well you're not a full vampire with me as your mother are you?" she replied and looked at him confused. Was he suppose to know what she was? Even I couldn't tell,  but I suppose I'd only ever encountered humans and vampires closely to be able to distinguish the two.

"What are you then?" I asked,  wanting to know myself so I could understand what it was I was detecting.

"Shouldn't you have picked up on it by now? I know for a fact all descendants from the moon can detect different species almost straight away" she commented and looked at me,  she wasn't harsh or rude. I think she just hadn't been around many people in a long time. I noticed Namjoon look over to me confused.

"I have to have encountered the species at least once before I can distinguish between species" I explained,  I tried to sound as formal and polite as possible.

"Think about it, I can tell exactly who you are without having to have met you before" she spoke softly as she looked at me,  waiting for me to put two and two together. I thought back slightly to all that I had learnt when I was in school and tutored. Once I thought about it,  I instantly knew what she was.

"Witch" I said and nodded as I realised what she was. She smiled and sat back into her chair. Namjoon still looked confused as to what was happening.

"What does that make me?" Namjoon asked and caught the attention of both of us back to him. It was a good question, even I didn't know what that made him.

"Half vampire, half mystery. If you were female that would be a different story but your not. Therefore,  the only power you carry from me is the changing of colours in your eyes depending on your moods and desires" she said,  I nodded as I took in her words. It made sense,  the changing of colours in his eyes wasn't normal,  even coming from me it wasn't. It made him special though.

"So the powers or gifts of witches are only within females?" he asked and his mum nodded and smiled slightly.

"Although you do carry it,  meaning if you were ever to have a daughter she would be a witch. Although I'm not entirely sure if that would happen if you two were to have a daughter" she commented. I looked at Namjoon who was already looking at me. I hadn't even thought about anything like that with Namjoon,  but now that really stuck in my head. What would happen if we ever had a child in general?

"Royal and witch blood together has never happened as far as I know. So that's a pretty interesting mystery you two have the chances of investigating" She laughed lightly. Like I said before,  I don't think she'd been around anyone for a while. I wouldn't say she was crazy,  but then again,  that is exactly what I was saying.

"Since you are a witch, can you explain to me exactly what happened out there just before you came?" I asked,  referring to the purple barrier that I had managed to create as Ed went to attack Namjoon. Although I had gotten caught up in this conversation of Namjoons genes,  I couldn't shake away the questions of what had happened.

"Oh that, it's not something even I can do,  not without a spell. It's some sort of protection barrier,  one that only occurs in a panic and urge to protect someone else" she explained,  it made sense to me,  I had run in front of Namjoon in an attempt to protect him from getting hurt.

"Is it normal? You know for people from my bloodline?" I asked,  I remembered what my mother had said in the letter she left. Referring to the changes I'd find,  but also that I may have individual abilities,  unlike any other Queen or King before me.

"I believe your mother had a similar kind of power,  you're still young,  you have more to come. You need to be prepared that things can suddenly happen that aren't normal with you and that you might not be able to control it for a while" she said and leant over the table as she spoke. She seemed to know a lot more than she may be letting on.

"Is she going to hurt someone?" Namjoon suddenly asked and squeezed my hand slightly. We hadn't let go of each others hands the whole time. I had been thinking the same thing as she had spoken,  what if I did hurt someone? Maybe even more than just hurt?

"I can't tell you that,  I may be a witch but I can't see the future. Their are other kinds of people that can do that" she laughed and leant back in her seat,  the chair creaked a bit as she leant onto it.

"Can you help with controlling them?" I asked,  a witch seems like the best person to help. Her ears seemed to prick up as I asked.

"Well,  I could try if that's what you want?" she asked sincerely and smiled. Any form of help seemed better than nothing. I nodded to her and her smile grew even more.

"That I can arrange" she smiled and stood up from her seat and walked over to me and help her hand out. I pulled my hand away from Namjoons and shook hers.

"I think we need to leave" Namjoon said and stood up,  looking out one of the windows. I looked out of the window too,  noticing how dark it had turned outside. I nodded towards him and stood up myself. She smiled sincerely at the two of us before moving out of the way for us to move towards the door.

"Thank you,  for getting us away" Namjoon said sincerely and bowed his head down to her and smiled. Her face beamed as he spoke.

"I wouldn't let you get hurt" she said and looked at us both. I don't know exactly what it was about her,  but I liked her. She seemed sincere and honest; I liked that in a person.

"When will I see you again?" I asked as we started to leave her home.

"You'll see me,  that's all you need to know" she just said simply and winked at me as she smiled. She was very mysterious too and I liked that as well. It was something I could relate to.

We began to run again,  I took my sunglasses off as I didn't need them in the night time. I followed Namjoon through the trees,  he seemed to know where he was going and I trusted him.  As we ran,  I kept looking up at the stars shining brightly in the dark sky as we moved in between trees. I loved how long the nights were at this time of year. I could feel the cold breeze against my skin as we ran. The more we ran,  the more I began to recognise our surroundings. As we slowed down,  I noticed the stream close to us. We walked over to the area where we had first met,  where we had first kissed,  where we bonded. I sat down in front of the stream and tucked my legs up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them.

"Life is crazy" Namjoon huffed and sat down beside me,  we both looked up at the stars in the sky,  admiring the view.

"You're telling me" I said and chuckled lightly,  thinking about all the recent events that had happened.

"I thought my mother was dead. But nope,  she's alive and is a witch" he stated and began to laugh, I couldn't help but laugh too. I watched as his eyes closed slightly as she continued to laugh.

I watched him,  I admired him. As he smiled as laughed showing those dimples that made my heart sink. He lowered his head slightly as he laughed before lifting them up again and looked back into the sky. Even though it went silent,  the silence between us never seemed to feel awkward. As he looked into the sky,  admiring the beauty of it, I did the same but to him. As much as I hated the uncontrollable feelings I had for him, I loved them too. I loved the excitement it made me feel anytime I was around him,  and the safety I felt with him.

"Alexa,  I just want to s--" He began to say.

"I love you" I blurted out,  I couldn't hold it in anymore,  I wanted him to know because I couldn't contain my feelings any longer. He turned his head towards me and smiled at me.

"I love you too" he replied and moved closer towards me,  he's eyes turning the smokey grey. I let go of my legs and let them lay straight on the floor and sat up properly as he slowly moved towards me.

He leaned in and moved his arm around my back as he placed his other hand to cup the back of my head. He pulled me in closer to him as we stared into each other's eyes intensely. I could look into his eyes forever and still fall in love with them more every second. He leant his head in and brushed his lips over mine.

I place my arms over his shoulders as I climbed onto his lap,  wrapping my legs around his waist. He pulled me in close to him,  letting our bodies touch. His lips connected with mine, setting off the fire like feeling I had the night we bonded. This time it was different though, it was so much stronger,  I could sense I wasn't the only one who could feel it.

As we continued to deepen the kiss and move in sync with eachother,  I couldn't help but feel like I needed more. I knew what I needed,  and I knew there would be no going back from it once it happened. I didn't care though,  it's what I wanted, more than anything else in the world right now. I wanted to be connected with him on another level, one that could only happen through sealing the bond.

I felt myself slowly being lowered down onto the floor. Not breaking away from the kiss, Namjoon quickly removed the hoodie he was wearing and placed it under my head as I leaned down onto the floor. I could sense Namjoon hovering over me,  I wrapped my arms around his waist,  wanting him to me closer to me.

"Are you sure about this?" He asked breathlessly as he broke away from the kiss.

"More than anything" I said seductively and sat up,  leaning back onto my elbows,  and looking up into his grey eyes.

"You know what happens after this right?" he said and raised his eyebrow slightly as he checked. I pulled my jacket off of me and threw it to the side of us.

"Yes, and I want that" I said sincerely as I looked up at him. His faced beamed as he smiled down at me. I watched him as he lifted his t-shirt up and off him,  throwing it down the the ground. I copied,  leaving me in just a bra and jeans. I'd never been this exposed before,  but I didn't seem to mind.

He looked down at me and smiled even more,  as he scanned my body. His eyes weren't filled with just desire and lust,  but something more than that. Love.

He moved down again,  closing the space between us. He continued to hover over my lightly,  letting me see his toned body. He moved his arm and placed his hand on my face,  moving the hair away from my eyes,  so that I could see him better. His hands were cold,  but what would I expect? He is a vampire after all.

"I really do love you" he spoke softly and laid me back down on the floor,  placing his arms either side of me to balance him. He leant his face into mine and brushed his lips over mine before eagerly connect his lips with mine. The kiss was full of passion and desire as he pushed my body into his.

This was definitely going to be a night to remember.

(A/N: I don't really do these on this book because I can understand if you think they are annoying,  but I felt like I should since I haven't since I think the first chapter!

I'd just like to say a massive thank you to all those reading this,  it means a lot and I really hope you are enjoying the story so far. I think we are half way,  maybe just over half way. So we still have a lot more to go for this! Although this book has only been published for a month,  it has gotten a lot of love and support and I'm so thankful to everyone. Also,  thank you for over 600 reads! It means so much to me.

Also I thought I'd best end the chapter there because honestly I think I'd cringe way too much if I wrote anymore. Also,  I know some of the people who read this,  so that would be hella awkward if I carried that on XD

Anyways,  thank you for reading,  I hope you continue to. I update every other day,  or maybe every two days since I always have 2 or 3 chapters ready at a time so that I can update consistently and give myself enough time to edit it alot more.

Please continue to vote,  comment and all that good stuff. It is appreciated a lot.

I love you all,  thank you!)
