After Aurora left, I decided to scroll through the photos of Luna and I to calm myself down.

That girl, why can't she understand that I don't want to marry her? Why is she so stubborn?

Keeping those thoughts aside, I took the photo album which has the memories of those fifteen days. It was Luna's idea, she wanted to capture all those memories in picture form. So, we brought a camera in our way and captured every precious moment of our adventure.

After she left me with a letter, I decided to print those pictures out, loud and big. That way I could remember my mate and stay sane till she comes back.

One may think that I am insane expecting her to come back but she is my mate and the world is not so cruel to keep two mates apart or at least that's what I would like to think. My wallflower will comeback, she should. Mates are meant to be there for each other.

"You are my home Luke," she always used to tell. If it's true then at the end of the day she should come back to me, her home.

Looking through those pictures, I remembered how Luna wanted me to take her to the pub so that she could drink her heart out. My mate hasn't even tasted alcohol in her whole life. I know, my mate is so precious. I smiled at the memory.

"Luke," my mate gently tugged my shirt as I made her some pasta. I told her that I will make our dinner today, I wanted to impress her. Yes, I learned cooking for my mate and there is nothing wrong with it.

It's our eleventh day adventure and hell, I am loving each and every day of it.

Lowing the heat, I turned to my mate and captured her between my arms, giving a small peck on her lips. Damn, I love it how she still blushes like a tomato, all surprised every time I give her a peck.

"What is it, Luna?" I rubbed her waist up and down. She loves it when I do that to her.

"I want you to take me to a pub, I want to drink till I remember nothing," she said those words out slowly, playing with my shirt instead of looking at my face. I could sense her nervousness. My innocent wallflower.

"And why is that? Where did you get this idea from?" I chuckled and on time, Luna hid her face in my neck all shy, I will never get over this sweet gesture of hers.

"The movie we watched yesterday."

Ah, I should've guessed it.

"So, you want to get insanely drunk?" I teased her.

She nodded her head.

"Then you have a single condition," I said in a stern tone.

Her eyes widened as she frowned looking at me, moving a step back to see my face.

"What condition?"

"I want you to eat full stomach before you drink, I don't want you to have a hangover."

Listening to my words, her face widened but she nodded anyway.

It was my mates sixth drink and hell; my mate has a high alcohol tolerance or it might be due to the fact how she's having a new drink every time.

"I want to dance," my mate giggled after gulping it down in a go.

"Come," I guided her carefully to the dance floor.

I am glad that the club we came didn't have insane crowd of drunkards. It's not heavily populated for us to bump into a stranger.

Holding her close, Luna and I started moving to the slow music which is currently playing. She leaned her head on my shoulders, letting me guide her through the dance.

"So, are you enjoying it Luna bear?" I asked her. She hummed in satisfaction before she realized the name, I called her with. The alcohol is slowly working its magic on her body.

"Hey don't call me that," she gave a slap in my arms before getting lost in the tune.

"You didn't answer my question yet," I leaned down and whispered in her ear before giving her a soft kiss on her neck.

She looks damn adorable in the dark red party dress we brought a few days back. The thin stap and the changing lights making her look like a goddess from heaven. And this goddess is my mate.

I kissed her neck again, biting her neck softly, teasing her. My wallflower let out a small moan before she started giggling.

"I like what you did, do it again," she giggled, moving her hair aside waiting for me to kiss her. For a second, I wanted to drink her blood, my instincts took over me and I wanted complete our bond but I stopped that thought before it could reach my brain.

"This," I asked as I gave her another kiss on her neck, this time I slightly bit her neck to make sure that she'll have a hickey the next day. I have no idea how she'll react to it.

"Yes," she giggled. My drunk mate isn't shy at all and I like this side of hers too.

This time instead of kissing her neck, I captured her lips which tasted like oranges, strawberries and all the different flavors she had before. It was an absolute delight. She gripped my shoulders deepening the kiss. Tugging her waist, I lifted her to my height so that she can kiss me comfortably.

My mate, with me, in my arms, what more do I need? I am happy and complete.

Alcohol, not only made her brave but it also gave her a lot of adrenal rush, my mate was super damn hyper active the whole time. With her constantly wanting an adventure, finally she decided to leave the pub after she was completely satisfied.

"How was it?" I asked as we walked down the payment.

"Good, good, good," my mate giggled.

"I am glad," I took our intertwined hands and gave hers a small kiss. She abruptly stopped walking.

"Why, what happened?" I turned to look at a seriously thinking Luna bear.

I know, I love this name Luna bear and I am intending to call her that.

"We have one more thing left," she frowned all seriously.

I couldn't help but let out a small laugh, "What is it?"

"Piggy back ride, now turn and carry me Luke, be responsible," she scolded, making me chuckle at her cuteness.

"And this human vehicle is at your service your majesty," I lowered myself for her to climb on my back.

With Luna, I am just Luke and not the vampire king. I like this normalcy, Luna is right, being normal is so underrated.

A few minutes into walking, my mate finally fell asleep after exhausting herself to the max.

I closed the photo book with a smile, waiting to feel at peace instead my whole body filled with rage. Like someone's torturing what's mine.

My first thought went to Luna.

Is Luna in danger?

Shit, no I am just overthinking, she is safe.

Leaving it off, I decided to go to my rose garden and breath some fresh air. While walking through the corridor, I saw a very angry Victor coming towards me.

"What happened?" I stopped him.

"Your majesty," he bowed seeing me.

What's the matter for him that he didn't even notice me?

"You look so damn angry Victor."

He nodded his head, "One of the ministers were harassing a girl and before you could say anything, I have warned him and the girl is safe," he finished not letting me rage.

I don't know why but all I wanted to do now was go on a killing spree. Kill that minister for touching that girl and kill everyone for some unknown reason. I don't what made me rage so much but I am definitely not in a good mood.

"I want to make sure that this has never happened to that girl before. So, investigate on it and if this happened then make sure to give me the report, I'll make sure that bastard gets the punishment he deserved."

"Yes, your majesty," Victor bowed and left.

Instead of going to the garden, I decided to go hunting in the forest to quench my thirst. I wonder if I'll be able to meet that hooded figure, maybe he can tell me some clue about my mate. 

A/N: So, will that hooded guy help Lucas?
