Lynias Pov
This child of mine is so stubborn, just like her father. I know everything is being thrown at her one thing after another, but she need to meet her family and friends, she will need their help in the future. "Lynia, she reminds me of your sister. She look like you but act like her. I need to talk to her alone, I don't care about her attitude toward me." If her attitude is anything like Aubrees, Alora will not be in a room with her longer than 5 minutes. I smiled, " Ok Mother, I will see what I can do. Lets go talk to Queen Razel and mingle". She nodded and began to walk over to Queen Razel who was talking to Aubree and Malik. When we reached them Aubree's smile disappeared as she looked at our mother. I know she resents her, but we all have to get along as a family. Mother looked at Aubree and Malik and smirked, " Aubree this must me your Heart. He's quite handsome, I see why you were attracted to him". Aubree shot her eyes to Tatiyana so fast, " It's none of your concern. You're not here to know what's going on in my life, so please don't pretend to act so interested in anything about me". She turned to everyone, " Im sorry all, Im suddenly not feeling well, I will go rest for a bit", and walked away and Malik right begins hwe. Really Aubree, you're really going to leave me to deal with mother by myself. Geesh Thanks big sister. My mind zoned out as I was cursing Aubree, Tatiyana was talking to me. " Lynia did you hear me?" I snapped out of my thoughts, " No mother, what did you say?" She gave me a frustrated look, " I swear my children doesn't listen to me anymore. Are you paying attention now ?", as she snapped her fingers in front of my face. I frowned at her gesture, " I not deaf and dumb, I didn't hear your dam question!" I really hated when she did that, she does it on purpose to upset me. "Well if you didnt act deaf and dumb, I wouldn't talk to you like it. I said I need you to arrange for me to talk to Aubree and Alora alone and very soon". "Mother I really don't want to be in the middle of this. You need to go to both of them yourself, attempt to be civil and talk to them. Now excuse me, I'm going over to Tristan, I would prefer his company", as I hissed and walked away. I'm tired of her manipulation and games, that's why I wanted to leave. She always came to me with that shit and I'm tired of it! I walked over to Tristan and grabbed his arm, " Love I'm not feeling too well, you stay here, I'm going to lay down". He turned to me and kissed my cheek, " My love what type of blood mate would I be if you're not feeling well and I stayed? How could I ever enjoy myself if you're not by my side?" Before I could say anything else he kissed my lips and grabbed my hand, " Please excuse us everyone, Lynia isn't feeling well, We will go to our chambers". Everyone nodded and said ok as we started walking toward the door. "Love you really didn't have to come up with me, It's more mental than anything", as I smiled. We reached the doors, he stopped, turned to me and rubbed my cheek, " Lynia no matter the reason I cannot let you be by yourself feeling depressed. Now if you want to talk about it we can, but if not", as he smiled devilishly. " We can entertain each other in other ways'', as he smiled and began to walk again. This is the reason why I love him so much, he really knows how to lift my mood.
Maliks P.O.V.
Aubree and I were walking down the corridor to my chamber, I noticed how bad her mood had gotten. It's so much going on right, I can't help not to be worried. I stopped walking and turned her toward me, I can't have her in a bad mood all night. " It's still early, let's go for a walk in the garden", then I gave her a gentle peck on her lips. She gave me a hesitant look and then smiled, " My dear Malik are you trying to cheer me up? I do have something in mind if you're interested". She pushed me against the wall and began to kiss me aggressive and passionately, as her hand began to move toward my zipper. I grabbed both of her hands without breaking our kiss and pushed her against the wall, put her arms over her head with one hand, broke our kiss and grabbed her chin, " I find it very sexy that you want to take control, but I will take it from here". I started kissing her again and my other hand was moving up her dress. I wanted her so bad I'm going to give it to her right here right now. I was so wrapped up with Aubree I didn't hear the footsteps walk up but I heard their breathing. I stiffened up while still kissing her and removed my hand from under her dress. She felt my uneasiness and started to slow down kissing me, while relaxing her body. I slowly began to release her hands, moved away from her and began to fix my clothes. Aubree straightened her hair and her clothes, before she could say anything I gave her a look and she smiled and nodded. "Let's finish this in my chamber, I don't want the castle to hear you". She smiled as she began to walk, " It's not me they would hear, your moans are quite loud too". I need to know who this is following us so I started using my vampire senses. I smelled a familiar smell but couldn't figure out where have I smelled it from. Once we reached my chamber and walked in, I was still trying to figure out that smell. Then it fucking hit me! Aubree was in the bathroom preparing for a bath which was a good thing because I didn't want her to know my gift yet. My eyes started glowing and the room disappeared, suddenly I was standing in the corridor Aubree and I were making out in. I walked to the middle and stopped, " I know you're here , you muthafucker! Youre really stupid for showing your fucking face here! Come out now!"
Back at King Morton's Castle
King Morton was in his study making plans for the attack on Lord Cletus Castle. Lucis and Marius were at the entrance of the castle waiting on a carriage. When the carriage came just Marius was about to get in, but Lucis stopped him, " Do you what you have to, you need to talk to him", he whispered. " If this plan fails our plan fails". Marius nodded and entered the carriage. Lucis really wished he could go but King Morton would notice his absence, but Marius can move around the whole realm and King Morton wouldn't notice him gone until he needed him. He walked back into the castle with a lot on his mind, if Marius doesn't see his old friend all hopes will be lost. What Lucis and Marvis didn't know is there was someone in the shadows watching them. The person smirked at the thought that Lucis could be so stupid, finally he could make his move for his position. Meanwhile the carriage was speeding down the road to Lord Cletus's Castle. Tonight is the perfect opportunity to get into the castle without anyone being suspicious. Lucis is lucky that the spy is still there, the information she has given us is priceless. The driver made a detour on the road and stopped at the little cottage. A beautiful fairey came out, Marvis stared at her with nothing but love in his eyes. She walked to the carriage and was helped in by the driver. Once she got comfortable the driver closed the door and they began to ride away. The fairey looked at Marvis and smiled, " It's so short notice Marvis, but I am glad you did invite me out tonight". Marius let out a huge smile, " Fleur I would only want you by my side. No matter how short notice it is". He kissed her hands and held them in his lap. "After tonight, things are going to change. Then we will be able to be together without my father's interference", as he stared out the window. When the carriage reached the castle Marius stepped out first so he could help Fleur out himself. They walked into the Castle knowing that this plan has to work, it's the only way to help the Queen and stop his father.
Malik stood there with anger in his eyes, its only one person who could have that fucking smell, he thought. The person stepped out of the shadows with a big smile on his face, " Hey Malik, it's been a while". "Stop right there", Malik commanded. Malik looked at Marius and scoffed, " Why the fuck are you here smelling like a fucking traitor?" Marius pulled a vial out of his pocket, " He said this smell is the only thing that could get your attention and he was right". Malik started to walk closer to Marius, " Marius, what do you want? Why did he send you and not come his damn self?" Marius put his hand in his pocket and huffed, " You know Malik, my mindreading gifts have really improved in the last 20 years. I heard your thoughts when you were walking with your bloodmate, but you realized it was me, you put up a very good wall. You love her very much, she's very beautiful..." "Shut your goddamn face!', Malik hissed. "Don't you ever mention her again or I will kill you! I don't care what the hell King Morton does to me, I will make sure your heart is in my hand!" Marius stood there with a straight face and thought, "there is no way Malik would trust anything I say, but he has to listen". "Look Malik, I come in peace, I just have a message from Lucis", as he smiled. " I.DONT.GIVE.A.FUCK. WHAT LUCIS HAS TO SAY!!!", and turned around to leave. "Malik! Wait! Malik stopped and stood there with his back at Marius, " Say want you want to me Marius, then get the fuck out of here!". "Malik, I know you're pissed at Lucis but I don't understand why. Your mate is kin to Alora right?" Malik turned to him as his eyes started to glow, " What the hell did I..." " Then you need to listen to me, and listen to me now", Marius interrupted. "Lucis told me to tell you that he has been looking for the Oracles for years now and he has found them. He cannot go there because my father has him under watch. We know that he wants Alora for her power but we don't know how he plans on getting it out of her. The Oracles will have the answers to the questions that everyone has". Marius pulled out a map and handed it to Malik, " Thank you Malik for listening to me tonight, now excuse me, I'm in the mood to party", as he smiled. Marius began to walk away and then stopped, " By the way Malik, we are on your side, there is a spy here that we need to stay here. The information we obtain from her will be used to benefit us, don't worry", then he walked away. Malik stood there as his eyes began to return to normal. What the hell does this mean? Does Lucis and Marius intend on betraying King Morton? All types of questions went through his mind as he calmed down. Dammit, that means I can't have my fun with Aubree tonight.....
