<<<Axel>>>

"I just wanted to ask, do you only appear in my dream?" I said backing her

"what do you think?" She asked resting her elbows on my shoulder as she leaned forward to bury her face in my neck

"I think its true" I said pushing off her and not meeting her eyes

"whats wrong" she asked softly looking at me with her small black eyes, biting on her lower lips. I groan at what she was doing. I plainly ignored her question she notice my sudden distance

"I want you to stop the war Axel"

"no!"

"why??"

"because having power is all I have other than not having mate" I said flatly and the pain in her eyes was inevitable

"I need to go" I said trying not to give in, she is not really. she didn't even have the dreams like I do so what proves that she is mine, I really don't want to go through the same pain all over again

"there is no gate or anything as usual you just need to wake up that's all" she said walking away from me

..........................................................................................................................................................

<<<Annika>>>

"WHAT!!!!! OK you need to take it slowly from the top" Juniper said jumping on Cosmina. we were in Cosmina's room, I had not gone back to my room and Cosmina wasn't in the mood for breakfast because she knew Lenna would be nice enough to invite the warlock lord and his men for breakfast.

Juniper and Aria noticed our absence and attacked us while we were watching stranger things, we suggested that since we were both downright depressed watching love or romance would be stupid, I suggested anime and she called me idiot In Japanese how cruel could she be. so we settled for horror which was stranger things and I personally will always find the beginning stupid.

"Rodavan is my mate?" Cosmina said again this time it came out like a question because she wasn't sure why she would repeat it if the girl has sharp ears.

"oh wow" she replied laying directly under her like she was the bed herself, making Cosmina face trapped in her full hair.

"guff ooff mtth" Cosmina mumble"

"what did you say honey, I cant hear you from my hair. Cosmina stop shuffling as she let her be

"Juniper get off her" I said but Aria jumped on me too. "what wrong with you two today?"

"whats wrong with you and my brother?"

"yeah i wanted to ask to ask to he looked extra grumpy today.... I mean he is always grumpy but not as today" Juniper added shifting from Cosmina, i gave her a warm smile and mouthed sorry before answering Juniper

"how would I know whats up his ass?"

"um...I don't know because you are his mate?" Aria answered

"he doesn't want to tell me whats going on so I will leave it to him to settle himself"

"In other words...." Juniper dragged

"she is not answering Goddammit stop with the questions and interrogation" Cosmina said feeling frustrated I just stroked her arms telling her to cool down

"no i don't care why do men or rather mates think they can just bend we females? huh?" Cosmina screamed in annoyance, Juniper opened her mouth to talk but i sent her a death glare not to say anything sarcastic or stupid, she got the hint and shut it.

"don't you all get it? they are toiling with us because all they think is that we want to make pup through them, am sick of it" Cosmina said throwing more shades over the subject.
"you know what never mind" she said suddenly I crooked my head sideways "am going for fresh air" 

she grabbed her jacket and slippers, loosened her hair from the pony and ruffle it a bit. I was really worried for her Rodavan got her into his sick mess. I stood up from the bed and gave her a hug. she was my best friend and cousin, her pain is my pain

"am here if you need me" I said pulling out from the hug and giving her a re-assuring smile and she returned it but it didn't reach her eyes as she walked away. I watched her retreating shadow go.

"come on" Juniper said tugging on my arm "lets watch sexy john snow" she said making me smile a little

"am just watching it for Robb Stack" I said going to change the channel

.................................................................................................................................................

<<<Cosmina>>>

"stupid mating feelings, stupid Rodavan, stupid stupid stupid" I mumbled kicking stones on the ground

"who the hell does he think he is coming here all calm and collected, who the hell is he!!" I screamed already frustrated

"well I am Rodavan ludomir.....and you are mine" I heard him say, he was very close up to me, the closeness made me really uncomfortable and also gave me some silly fuzzy feeling on the inside. Moving far from him I finally turned to see him clearly and to say he is handsome was an understatement its like he was specially designed and crafted.

White/ silver hair, sliver blue eyes and honey brown eyes, piercing on his nose, its was his eyes that were captivating how can someone see this fine specimen and not want him?

"am not yours and will never be yours" I mentally cursed my self thinking I was a wolf to band him from torching, he came close to me and I took to steps back, he came again and i went back but over stepped making me trip off but he was fast enough to catch me, staring into his mismatched eyes and like the damn song said

I cant help falling in love

I smacked myself saying i can't be hurt like my mom, pushing myself off him, and even with my super strength he didn't even bodge the least, He took the hint that I wanted space and he was too close he put me back on my feet but didn't leave space

"excuse me" I said, mentally cursing myself  as to how low and weak my voice sounded

"it would be impolite not to tell me your name after I have told you mine" he responded and he sounded awfully calm for my attitude

"first of i didn't ask you to tell me your name secondly i can be impolite when and how i want to be" I said gritting my teeth "now once again please excuse me!!" I said the last part then sped off, looking back I saw him still standing there and my heart tugged some part of me wished he actually followed. Not looking were I was running I crashed to a tree

groaning 

I fell on my bum hard, I wincing at the pain, something blocked the ray of light that was reflecting down on me I looked up at the view and came face to face with his  mesmerising eyes but yet colourful ones, the sun settled on his white hair giving it a good outline

"are you done running from me?" he said his accent was really taunting too

"quit following me!!" I said but it came out like a whisper

what the hell is wrong with me

"I can't stop following"

"why are you really here? did you trace me here? did you ask your men to find me?"

"oh my beautiful decent flower how i wish i knew i would find my mate here, but i didn't, I mainly came here to form alliance and make peace with the werewolves of France" he said and wrapped his hands around my waist and lifted me to my feet and I found my self clutching to his black shirt and inhaling his scent

"but finding you was a good extra bounce" he said kissing the top if my hair, I was suddenly lost in his arms I could pull my self away from him then I heard a branch snap, pulling myself from my comfort zone 

"I can't" I mumbled with my hands still wrapped around his shirt

"why? whats stopping you from being with your true mate? the only thing  can think of right now is you being forced into someone else arms"

"am not!!" I shouted harshly 

"then why?"

"because I don't trust you" I said turning away from him

"then I will have to change that" he said, I yelp when i realised that he was carrying me 

"put me down Rodavan!!!" i screamed wrapping my arms around his neck. On the background I heard shuffle of noises making me wonder where we were

"моје срце you can open your eyes now" he said softly as I did

"you can put me down now" I said

"but that would be depressing" he responded huskily, I gave him a pointed look and he reluctantly put me down. scanning the area

"Rodavan? where are we?" I asked following behind him, we reached a camp side 

"we are at my camp site the east part of the park mansion"

"I thought Lenna invited you in?" I questioned

"well the luna was kind enough to invite us but with the strained hatred between your people and mine not all were willing to go"

we reach a place and it began to smell like horse. That when I realised they built a stable here. I suddenly became hungry for animal blood.

"hey if you want to feed to can just ask me for my blood" he said taken me behind the stable and setting me on his legs.  I buried my head on his neck not sure whether to do this, it has being long since I had taken human blood not less of a supernatural human

"going don't be scared" he said I slowly nodded and sank my fangs into his  neck, I moaned in ecstasy as the gush of my mates blood flowed in me, he pressed me closer to his body

didn't he know i could drain him?

I slowly pulled my fangs out as i licked his blood, he groaning I looked at him and his eyes colourful eyes darkened black, the edges of my lip had his blood on them He used his thumb to clean them and placed it in front of my lip as i licked it off his thumb. on the second side of my lips, he smeared the blood on my bottom lip and i slowly liked it not break the eye contact

He stared at my lips and I stared at his but didn't make a move to kiss him, he suddenly leaned forward and weirdly i wasn't moving away or turning my face, I felt his lips land on mine, he breathed out roughly as he pull my neck closer to his to deepen the kiss

I found my self liking and wanting more his other hand positioned me properly in front me as i felt manhood poking my thighs. moaning into his mouth, feeling his hands roam on my skin, I was lost in his arms. I could always get comfortable in this, but then mom. Just the thought of it made me stop the kiss. I don't know if he was mad but he didn't quite show it.

"am sorry I got carried away" I said looking at his neck my fangs mark had gone already

"why are you sorry? you didn't like it? because I sure did" she said smirking If i wasn't blushing before I hell am right now. I slowly removed my self from his grasps.

"you know, why I brought you out here is to earn your trust and that's what am damn set on doing" Immediately I was set on the horse

"put me down" I shrieked loudly

"that's your must used word today" he said joining me on the horse "get comfortable because it going to be a long fun ride" he said as he took the reins of the horse and whipped the horses' neck with it making it gallop. I screamed joyfully as it began going faster. screaming and laughing all over again.

"we need to plan an attack before he starts ganging up more allies" Alarick said at the head meeting, many weird creatures were here making me wonder how many supernaturals were in France alone yet alone the world

"for all we know he only has his grimores and Novah" Jaxtyn added, though am still mad at him, he looked very sexy when serious, make me want to kiss him all over

'you can hold that thought till we are alone' he said through the bond I thought I closed that shit?

'you didn't actually it was opened for the whole day I just wanted to give you privacy to cool off before i tell you' he said. And it melted my heart to know that he was ready to communicate with me about things that hurts his.

'After the meeting' I said and he sent me a picture through the bond making me gasped very loud as everyone stared at my rosy cheek. Meanwhile Jaxtyn was smirking his ass off.

"so what's the plan?" the lord of elves asked

"enter Boetia find Axel let Annika kill him while we deal with Novah and the grimores, for all we know Annalise is far stronger than Novah so she can easily take her down while Annika kills Axel" Coren said

"NO!!!!" Aria voiced "no one is killing Axel, he is my mate why would you suggest such a thing?" she asked turning to Coren

"because he is the enemy, kill the enemy save the princess? but in this phase its kill the enemy save the entire supernatural clan.... would you like the blood of an entire clan to be on your hands?" Coren asked, but she didn't reply

"dad?" she chocked on the upcoming tears she just nodded and walked away but stopping by the door an faced Coren

"yes I would because you all seem to forget what Alden said, If Axel dies, the whole world falls into darkness, because of me" with that she left the room

"way to go Coren" Juniper said but Coren was already long gone after Aria

(:>)

"well today's meeting was disastrous" I said as i combed my locks, Jaxtyn came behind me and held my waist, making traces with his hands making me shudder

"ready to tell me why you hate Rodavan and his people or do I sleep outside today?" I asked turning to face him. he breathed out and said

"his people or their past lords, wedge war against because we had good products like soil and economic resources, we lost many people, my dad lost his brother, thats why he is the Alpha because those guys killed his brother"

"am sorry I didn't know about that" I said 

"I was mad that my father would easily forgive him"

"but Rodavan maybe different"

"he isn't any different, you know they drink the blood of their previous ruler? before they die" he said, okay I personally didn't need to know that. 

"and they take specific changes in them like hair and eyes why do you think his eyes are different"

"but he is not dangerous Jaxtyn"

"how do you know?"

how do i know....um I don't know maybe because he is dating my bestfriend

"he is Cosmina's mate" I said

"what??!!" 

"yep he is and do you think he would do something to hurt Cosmina or the people she loves?"

and he didn't reply

"and as for the drinking of heart blood its their tradition even our own trusted warlock do it are you going to hate them because of tradition? who knows made be it is passing down generational strength" I said trying to reason with him

 "so babe you don't need to pressure your self over your father forgiving him, wasn't it during one of his alpha visits to the park that he meet your mom, and if he didn't meet your mom you and I won't be standing here loving each other" and he had on him that goofy smile he only show me. I leaned in for a kiss which he didn't object it and it led to everything wonderful

(<3)

<<<Axel>>>

she cant be my mate. she doesn't have the dreams with me its like a joke her. But then again why did you cling to her when she shielded you from the wrath of the tribrid? 

This was whole damn confusing, she is meant to have the dreams to right? Maybe she does but not the same time and same way mine is, maybe that's why she didn't understand the point i was making.

"XYz and his men are here" Novah informed, I just nodded. Going to the dinning table to meet the hellhound but they had another guest with them

"who is this?" I asked angrily

"oh this is my bud snake"

"itssss a pleasure to meetttt you" she hissed, I just eyed her ignoring her greeting

"what do I need her for?" I asked rubbing my forehead

   "her venom is poisonous bitten once bitten twice death"

"is this true?" I asked because I was suddenly interested

"yesssssss" she hiss

"well done"

"when do we attack sire?"

"on the fortnight" I replied smiling. Those Goddamn wolves would not know what hit them

........................................................................................................................................

<<<Annika>>>

After three rounds of am sorry sex, Jaxtyn and I retired back to bed wearing boxers and baggy shirt respectively. Jaxtyn pulled me closer to him as we cuddled and slept

Suddenly I began tossing and turning, ruffling bed sheets

poison

venom poison

"attack on the fortnight" I jolted up immediately knowing what caused the nightmare

stupid but helpful Awareness spell

"babe whats wrong?" Jaxtyn asked sleepily as he sat up room the bed

"Axel"I said plainly

"what about him?"

"he is coming on the fortnight"
