Grace looked at me and shook her head " you're marked by him already" she sighed and moved away from him. " Tell me, do you look at his red eyes?"
I nodded and she clapped her hands " that is it, you're under his manipulation."
" No, you know what… stay away from me" I stood. I want to stay out of everything, I haven't settled what Liam told me earlier, now this weird girl is telling shits. These people are messing with my head.
" Your instinct is the powerful weapon fashioned against you" I heard her voice from behind.
I halted, shaking my head. I turned in anger " Okey, fine what do you want me to do"
" Go to the forbidden forest and bring back your mate"
I frowned, didn't they say the forbidden forest is prohibited for everyone? The dark spiritual animals roaming around the forbidden forest are more dangerous than the queen witch. How come me, a powerless immortal will survive?
As if she heard my thoughts " you are his mate! He will never let any harm happen to you. If you're ready. Got to the west restricted area and ... .ah they're coming" she suddenly said. Alert. " They're everywhere, they're guarding their king's bride! Liam must be crazy to think he can steal Ezekiel's mate! And you are a disgrace to the Werewolves and Gold changelings for betraying their king…."
" I knew it, you're up to something the moment I smelt you" Daniel interrupted, there was another unfamiliar face beside him. Gosh! That person is very good looking too, he had a fake tattoo like Kelvin, but younger.
He smiled at waved at me " Hello Megan, my name is Kingsley"
" Ahhh, you people came fully prepared, aren't you the lord of vampires"
Kingsley's eyes widened, then amused. " Ahhh, your grandmother must teach you a lot"
"What did you tell her?" Alexis leapt in, she grabbed Grace by neck and lifted her, choking her.
" You want to kill me huh? Go go on" she grinned.
" What are you doing?" I faced Alexis, crossing my arms. Alexis glared at me " You're a fool for believing her" she yanked Grace away merciless and faced me " Your soul is linked to our king, and you still don't trust us"
" Don't be deceived, it's a lie" Grace said tiredly laying on the floor. " Kill her," Alexis ordered.
"Don't!" I yelled. I moved my feet to go to Grace, but I couldn't lift it. My body froze. " Stubborn soul" Alexis muttered and nodded at Daniel.
" You are controlled by him, you now belong to him, don't forget what I told you!!!"
I heard Grace's voice ringing in my head, I don't know what happened, my eyes felt dizzy, the last thing I saw was Alexis' smirking face and Kingsley's happy face. Then I lose my consciousness.
I fell in a warm embrace " you should mark her before it took late" I heard Kingsley's serious voice.
.....
After tossing around for a while, I sighed, depressed, I missed his whispers. It made me connected to him, but why did you stop? When I opened my eyes, I realised I'm in heaven!
Heaven? I jolted and quickly sat up, looking at my surroundings, then I realised it's just a huge bedroom decorated with expensive things.
'Where's this?' I asked myself. Then I found a quiet figure sitting not too far from the huge bed, staring at me. My body trembled as our eyes met. No matter how many times I've seen his eyes, they keep making my heart tremble. I swallowed my saliva, this man is very alluring. Then what Grace told me echoed. In my ear, "The more good-looking they are, the more dangerous they are."
"Who are you, and why are you after me?" I said, displeased, even if they're after my mate, shouldn't they spare me? Because I'm innocent!
"Are you confused?" He replied. I facepalm myself. 'Ahhhh, his voice is damn sexy!!!' How am I supposed to refuse him?
"You knew my mission was to bring back my mate, yet you still bound us." I crawled out of the bed and got down on my feet, moving toward him until I stood before him. I had no idea where this sudden confidence came from, because deep inside, I was trembling as he looked up at me. I hadn't seen him fight, nor did I know what he was truly capable of, but the aura he carried was that of a king who ruled both the sun and the moon.
"How badly do you want to bring your mate back?" He asked in amusement. Surprising me, I thought he would be mad or avoid the topic.
"I would be happy if I saw him standing on his feet today."
He laughed, and I won't lie if I say I am not immune to the laugh. He stood and looked down at me. "Do you even know what he looks like?"
"They said he's a good-looking man with blonde hair." I avoid his sharp eyes.
'You're too close to him.' I warned myself and stepped back. But I felt his hands on my waist, pulling me back, this time our bodies met for the first time.
To my surprise I felt sparks enveloped my body. I knew what it meant! Only mates should have these sparks!
I looked at him, with several emotions on my face. "Liam, who are you?" It was said my mate is Alpha Ezekiel. Why am I feeling this with a vampire, Dracula?
He smirked and lowered his face, I quickly averted my face away. If I don't act fast, our lips may meet.
Then I heard his breath in my right ear. "You don't have to know, but just know that, I will never hurt you." He released me and moved away from me. Before I knew it, I saw him standing far away. Facing the floor-to-ceiling window with his back facing me. His hands in his pants pockets. Wow! What is the name of the that speed?
I looked at his back in disbelief "You..."
"You will die if you go to that forest. Even if you gain your full power. The only person that can kill those spirits was buried deep in the soil." A dangerous hint flashed across his face. "You thought he would rise and fight for you, huh?" He smirked and glanced at me. "I won't force you, do whatever you want to do. I won't interfere in your life."
" But fell free to come to me when you couldn't fight it anymore"
Reaching my room, I groaned and sat on my bed. "I'm trapped between the lie and the truth. "I don't know what to do," I muttered.
I found my diary, I grabbed it, sitting on a chair and table beside my bed, and then I began to write.
"Alicia, my life has been a mess the moment I stepped into this school, I don't know what to do."
"Alicia, I met a dangerous vampire king. Someone told me he's a demon king, he even knew much about my mate."
"I felt the spark I've been longing to feel for years with him. What does it mean?"
"Missing an old friend?" I was startled at the voice behind my ear. I turned and was surprised to see Anastasia. She smiled at me and waved.
Seeing my questioning look, she laughed. "Ahh, you're surprised to see me? "Well, Liam sent me to you," she giggled.
I closed my diary and signed, "I don't understand you people." I started. Maybe she's working with them, who knows.
Anastasia sat on my bed, she nodded. "That's how you should feel. I've been trying to understand them for a year but get nothing."
My brow knitted in confusion, "Are you for real?"
