~KAI POV~

Irene has been here for a few days now and I would be lying if I didn't say that I wasn't avoiding her. The truth is I am. I'm ashamed for the way I treated her and it's bad enough what I did to Y/n but I also very much mistreated Irene.

Jin the nicest king to me so far, told me that I'd have to speak to her eventually and I know I do it's just finding the courage to speak to her no matter how much every part of me is telling me to go to her. I've been fighting it but Jin told me no more hiding and I'm going to speak with her no matter what.

He also says the ball is in a few days so I better speak to her before that, heck she could even be my date and I actually like the sound of that.

This office that I'm sitting in is actually quite nice and considering what I've done to all of them I'll forever be grateful to them. But I'm constantly remained by my kings that it's Y/n, she's the reason to why I'm still alive even though she doesn't know it.

Today would usually be a day I would spend with one of the kings and since it's a Tuesday that means king Yoongi would be training me today but I was given the day off from that since at any moment I know Irene would be coming through that door.

I don't know if she would even want to speak to me since she refused to even look at me at the funeral to which I didn't really want to attend since I feel massively still guilty about the whole thing. But I showed to pay respects and support Y/n even if it was from a slight distance.

The door to my office suddenly opens and the rush of that sweet scent, hit me full force. King Yoongi comes strolling in with a shy looking Irene who has kept her gaze down to the floor.

"Well if any of you have problems you know where to find me." Yoongi

"With Y/n." Irene

She whispers and Yoongi nods. He looks at me with his blank expression with a raised brow and I knew he was asking if I'd be okay probably worried for Irene or something but I nod at him.

He blinks blankly at me and turns to leave, through the door after Irene comes further in and he shuts it behind him. Now leaving both myself and Irene in the room alone. It was pretty awkward at first but I think that was just myself making it that way.

I stood up and nervously patted my sides and gazed at her from the door she stood next to still refusing to look my way at all. I suppose the last time we spoke it didn't go down well and she confessed to me about her feeling and I did nothing but call her fowl names and crush her in the process.

"Irene, I...I just want to start of and say....I'm sorry."

At the word sorry she hesitantly glances up at me across the room, and her hands laid across her bump that I could very clearly see which makes me feel even more nervous.

"I'm sorry that the last time we spoke, I called you the harshest names ever and I blamed you for what we did and no amount of apologies could make up for that."

She stood completely still, her doe like eyes staring back at me.

"You hurt me." Irene

She whispered and I felt a little pain in my chest at the way she spoke so softly yet quietly.

"Yes I know and I'm sorry. I take full responsibility for hurting you. Never should I have done that you or to Y/n. I want to make it up to you both. I've got forever you know."

I chuckled a little bit and she nods lightly to move towards a chair that's placed in front of my desk. She moves slowly, taking small steps until she finally reaches and takes a seat.

"We both hurt Y/n. She's my friend and you were her boyfriend, but I couldn't help the feelings I had developed for you. I guess we both have to make it up to Y/n in some way." Irene

She stared down at her lap and I slowly took a seat back on my chair. Her scent alright was addicting to me and very overwhelming, but I remind myself to stay calm.

"I guess we do but she also gave us her blessing. You know if anything was to come between us again."

I say this hesitantly because I don't know how she would react but her heart beat raises as I spoke, which gives me a good sign.

"I know she did. She also told me that too. It's nice to see her happy though so I guess she wants that for us too." Irene

A brush of relief set through me.

"But, I can't just jump back into something with you if that's what you want Kai. Y/n may of gave us her blessing and I've never seen her so happy despite her parents death but I don't want to take any chance this time. Plus you have hurt me, a lot. You left me alone in this pregnancy and I can't forgive you just like that." Irene

I felt disappointed but I understand her reason but she has to know I'm not going anywhere. I want to be by her side through thick and thin, I want to be with her for as long as I live but if I have to wait then I guess I'll have to as my punishment for being so selfish.

"What I'm trying to say is, yes one day I'd like for us to be together but only when I'm sure Y/n is okay with this and I feel like I could trust you." Irene

My hope builds back within myself and my joy almost shows a little too much but I try to keep it all together.

"I promise Irene, I won't be going anywhere anything soon. I want to be there for you and our child. I need to make up for my mistakes and I'll do anything to gain your trust back." Kai

She nods and flutters her eyes at me, tucking her hair behind her ear.

"I hope you will. For the sake of our son at least." Irene

I watched how she wrapped her hands protectively around her large bump that I know couldn't help but admire but feel extremely guilty for not supporting her until he first place.

"How are you anyway? With pregnancy?"

Her eyes widen at my question, staring right back at me but I couldn't help for finding her reaction cute. Sure before I was a vampire I thought of her as a very good looking girl but now that she's my soulmate she's completely out of this world.

"It's been okay actually. Nothing wrong, it's just gone smoothly. The baby is in good health, he doesn't kick a lot and it makes me worry sometimes but I've come to believe he just might be a quiet little guy." Irene

"Like you."

She broke out to the widest smile I haven't seen in a long time. I wanted nothing more than to reach over there and kiss her but it'll take time for that.

"Yes I think so. How is it being a vampire now? I'm sure it's very different from being human. Y/n told me how you became one and I'm sorry to hear that happened to you." Irene

"It's nothing really. I've come to think it was my karma for making stupid mistakes. Sure it's different but I've come to adapt to my new lifestyle. Y/n and the kings have been very kind to me considering our past so I'll be forever grateful to them."

She nods with a light frown.

"They have been very good. I remember the way they use to look at you. Not so much now." Irene

"That's because of Y/n. They remind me of that every time. They still don't like me very much but it was Jin who came up with the idea other winds I'd be dead."

Her eyes turn soft at my words. I had to take a moment to take in her appearance once more. She's very beautiful even more so than before. I don't know if it's because of this soulmate thing or what but yes we've always had a connection and now I understand why.

"Irene has anyone mentioned what soulmates are to vampires?"

"Yes. Joy explained it to me and used Y/n and her soulmates as an example. It's really warming to see them all like that." Irene

"Well can I tell you something? Something I think you should know."

She nods at me and waits for me to continue speaking.

"Since I became I vampire I never thought anything about soulmates for vampires. It never even came to thought but when I seen you for the first time at the funeral everything changed. It turns out that you, Irene are my soulmate."

I confessed and she gasped, to cover her hand over her mouth.

"Really?" Irene

She mumbled through her mouth and I chuckled a little, to placed both my hands over the desk.

"Yes. I just thought you needed to know and for you to understand how serious I am about being in your life and our sons life. In fact Jin was telling me yesterday that since your my soulmate and if you wish you could live here permanently. We can raise our family together."

"But I thought they don't like children or to have humans around." Irene

I laugh at her sweet cluelessness and forgetfulness.

"Irene dear, do you forget that their soulmate is human and she is currently pregnant with not one but four babies. Also to mention Joy is moving in permanently as well. They're starting to change for their soulmate which is what I would do for you."

Her sights flickered you the ceiling above before she giggled to herself.

"Oh yeah. I forgot about that. Some of these things skip my mind lately." Irene

"So I'd you want to you can move in Moro this castle and we can raise our child together. We don't have to stay in the same room if you're not comfortable with that but I'd like it if we did."

"Can I think about that please?" Irene

"Of course, no pressure."

"Thank you." Irene

She smiled lightly at me with a twinkle in her eyes that she use to give me all the time when we were at school or it was just the two of us.

"Can I ask you one more thing?"

"Yes you can." Irene

I was a little nervous at this question, I would love it if she said yes. I took a deep breath, fiddling with my fingers on my desk before finding the courage to finally come out with it.

"Would you go to the ball with me as my date?"

Her eyes grew big with shock but again her smile widen again.

"I would love to." Irene
