Continuation of Silas' POV:
I opened my eyes as I felt the sun going down then sat up a little before I glanced around. The door started to unlock and Everest poked his head in. "Is anyone dead?" He purred in amusement then chuckled when he found us both alive. I stretched and yawned.
"Nope, no one is dead," I told him and got to my feet, flicking my tail. "Where's Sylar's stuff at?" I asked calmly, remembering Sylar said his stuff was taken from him.
"Right here," he purred and then held up a bag with Sylar's stuff inside it. "We kept it put up in a bag." I walked up and snatched it before I went over to Sylar and sat it next to him. I smiled softly and then brushed his hair back from his face then turned to look at Everest. I should check in on A'slin before I go home.... I won't bring him back just yet, just go over and talk to him. I smirked then walked up to Everest.
"I want to go to Kingsley's," I told him and purred. I heard Sylar digging through the bag and putting his things back in his pockets. I heard him get up and start for us.
"Everest, take this bracelet off me!" He yelled and held out his hand with the bracelet on it. "Just so you know, your silly little game of sticking me in a room with Silas to make me like him, made me only hate him more. He hugged me to death. I'm never going to get that out of my head." Everest laughed then.
"You must've made him lonely or something," Everest purred then leaned in, kissing Sylar's cheek before he took the bracelet off Sylar. "There, you're free. Tell Amelia I said hi if you go to see her."
"I'm taking a really long shower that might take two centuries," Sylar grumbled and slipped past us and took off down the hall. I frowned and watched him go then looked at my brother expectantly.
"Take me to Kingsley's... and then to Rei's," I purred and grabbed his hand. He sighed and we were suddenly standing outside a door.
"I think this is your son's bedroom here," he told me then leaned against the wall, crossing his arms. I looked the door over before I went in, searching for my son.
"A'slin~!" I purred out. I hope he won't be too mad about this supposed wedding with a French princess. If only he knew the truth about who he was marrying.... I didn't find him in the room though. His scent was all over everything. I frowned and walked back out, going over to the next door where I knew Killian's room to be. I knocked then went in, finding Killian curled up in the bed into a tight ball, hugging a pillow. I found A'slin curled up next to him with his hand wrapped around Killian, the two of them spooning. A'slin didn't turn demon like he promised.. I frowned and then sighed. I'll have him turn demonic after he marries. I walked up to him, putting on my angry face to mess with him. "A'slin, you're going to be getting married to a French princess. You can't be spooning with a ghoul," I hissed at him then crossed my arms as I looked the two of them over. So cute~ If Killian didn't look depressed, this would be perfect~! I can't wait to see them married.
"Go away," A'slin grumbled and pulled Killian closer to him. "He's going to wake up because of you...." He leaned in and kissed Killian's neck before hiding his face into it. His breathing slowed back down like he was falling back to sleep. I held back a small laugh and then shook my head. I don't know.... If I was really marrying him off to a French princess... I'd be pulling him off Killian, right? I guess I should, but it's so cute.... I reached down and started to move his hands away from Killian, starting to separate the two of them. Killian curled up tighter and squeezed his pillow, burying his face into it as I moved A'slin away from him. A'slin groaned and slapped my hands. "Stop. We're just cuddling. There's nothing wrong with that."
"A'slin, I don't want you cuddling with him- not when you're engaged. If you were willing to marry Killian, then you're willing to do other things with him, and I don't want you doing that. You're strictly friends only," I warned him, making him look me in the eyes. "I won't have my son disobeying me... or cheating."
"I'm not married yet. Go get a life." He glared me down. "Leave me alone. I'm mad at you anyways." I frowned at him.
"Why? If you wanted to marry him, you should've told me instead of telling me you didn't care. I would've worked something out with Kingsley instead of the king of France, but you didn't tell me, so now you're engaged to a French princess, and no, I'm not breaking it off for you because it's a great match... and you'll give me beautiful grandbabies from her."
"I'm not giving you grandchildren. I'm gay mom. My man parts are going no where near girl parts." He stuck out his tongue. I frowned at him.
"They don't have to," I told him then crossed my arms. "You can still give me grandbabies without touching her."
"You're not getting grandbabies from me. Ask Nico."
"You're the first born. You have to have children and make an heir for your throne," I warned him and narrowed my eyes. "You have to. There's no if ands or buts."
"Uncle Lyle hasn't and he's first born," A'slin whined. I tensed then looked him over. Do I tell him?
"Well... to be honest... he might have children later with Milo, but he's not my father or mother's first born.... He's adopted," I told him then sat down on the bed. "Lyle is adopted and not married. You're about to be married real soon."
"I'm not married yet! I'm telling the priest no." He looked away from me quickly. "You need to find me a guy. A guy, mom." I frowned then and studied him.
"If I get you her brother... you won't pitch a fit, and you'll break," I waved towards Killian and him, "whatever this is off?"
"Ummm......" He trailed off and got quiet. "I'm not giving up my cuddle sessions with my best friend."
"You can't cuddle with him," I hissed lightly. "I know what cuddling leads to if you two like each other," I told him then looked at Killian and shook my head. "You can't be fooling around with him. He's going to be married as well soon. In fact, in a couple of days when I return, you two won't be seeing each other for a long time. You'll be prepped for your wedding, and Nico will be attending balls and holding his own to attract suitors for him. We need to get the measurements for your tux soon. Killian isn't going to be in your life forever either. You might see each other at family reunions." I looked over A'slin's secret fiancé then tensed as I caught Killian's scent. It was off... different. He smelled like a pureblood. Did Aurelio change him that way when he marries my son... he'll be able to live forever with him? I purred then and returned my sight to A'slin. "You'll be fine though." He won't ever lose Killian.
"We're not doing anything," A'slin groaned out. "We will though if you keep thinking we will. Killian and I are just cuddling now go away. We're strictly just getting in as much of a chance as possible to be together until we're married and having to deal with annoying people." I looked him over before I sighed.
"Alright A'slin, I'll let you two cuddle for now, but that's it," I told him then kissed his forehead. "Let me go tell Nico about his ball he's hosting." I pulled away then looked the two of them over before I saw Killian turn over in his sleep, facing A'slin as he ditched the pillow and ended up curling into him, snuggling up against him. So cute~! I hope Nico finds someone he loves like that.... That'd be adorable~ A'slin wrapped his arms around Killian and purred, pulling the covers back over them.
"Bye," he shot at me. "Lock the door on your way out." I held back a small laugh and watched as Killian uncurled himself at A'slin's touch and stretched out, burying his head against A'slin's chest. I walked out and locked the door behind me then looked at Everest.
"So cute~" I mouthed at him then chuckled before I walked over to Nico's room and went in. "Nico darling~ Prepare for a ball! You're having one in a few days and I will return here to fetch you the night before. You're going to be picking your fiancé out of the crowd," I purred to him then walked over to where Nico was looking out the window. Nico turned to look at me with wide eyes then.
"M-mom! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO PICK A FIANCE?!" I laughed then ruffled his hair.
"Your father and I have decided that you should start looking for a husband now. We're marrying A'slin off, and we'll marry you off too." He gave me a small growl then.
"Don't I get a say in this," he hissed at me.
"You get a say in who you want to marry out of who attends. If you don't like someone, you will attend more balls until your father and I decide you've looked enough," I told him then patted his head. "These balls are specifically to help you find a husband, so it'll only be boys... and they'll know why they're there." He frowned and looked a little upset but sighed and nodded.
"Fine... at least you aren't doing what you're doing to A'slin to me," he muttered then looked back out the window. "So you're going home?"
"Yes, your father needs me at home to help plan the ball for you," I told him then rubbed his shoulders.
"Okay... I want brownies there," he whispered. I nodded then kissed his cheek.
"Alright, we'll have lots of brownies there for you. I need to go now. Watch out for your brother." He nodded then looked towards me.
"Bye mom," he whispered then kissed my cheek back. I purred and pulled away before I walked out of the room and looked at Everest who smirked and grabbed me then teleported us to Rei's office then disappeared. I purred at the sight then walked towards the door to go hunt down Rei, smelling him out. I followed the trail down to the bottom floor and out into the garden, making me laugh. Just like my mate to be out in the garden. I walked up to a bench and sat down, deciding to wait for him to come near where I was and looked around the garden at the beauty of it all. I love his garden.... He really does put a lot of care in it.... He was currently talking to Mauri as they leaned over his koi pond, feeding the fish. A few servants were out here, snatching weeds away and planting new flowers. I laughed softly and watched the two of them feeding his fish then ran my fingers through my hair and looked at the servants, watching them plant flowers. Seems that they're all going to be working tonight. I got to my feet then and walked over to a servant, starting to help him weed some in Rei's garden. After a few minutes Rei walked up to me and smiled.
"So~ The plans are in order. Kingsley, Aurelio, you, and me will meet tomorrow night to discuss wedding preparations. Nico's ball is going to happen the next night." I looked up at Rei as I pulled a weed out of the ground then purred.
"That sounds perfect.... I want to marry the two of them as soon as possible, so we'll set the tailor up to make A'slin's tux as soon as they're back. The tailor can get his measurements right before the ball and start working on it. We'll have to get them rings too... which we might just get a small group of rings and present them to them both so that they can both pick a set from the same group and we'll get the one that is the most similar to the ones they picked... or the one they picked if they pick the same one," I suggested then stood up, putting the weeds in the servant's basket then kissed him. "I can't wait to marry the two of them~ They were cuddling together when I found them! He's going to make a perfect son in law for us- and he's not even a ghoul anymore. He's a pureblood. I think they changed him so he wouldn't die on our son."
"So they made him a pureblood? That means we'll have grandbabies from them." He gave me a pleased smile. I nodded and hugged him.
"Uh huh, we'll be having little grandchildren running around soon. They'll have to have a romantic honeymoon~ Oh! Should we talk to Kingsley and Aurelio about having Charles turn one of them female right before they go on the honeymoon, or should we let them have the honeymoon as males? I do want grandchildren... but I want the two of them to have a great honeymoon too.... Maybe we should wait.... Yeah, let's let them have the joy of being together when they thought they were going to be separated and then turn one of them when they get back so we can get little Killians and A'slins running around." I laughed and kissed his neck. "Isn't it wonderful? Our son is going to get married...."
"It is... but he's still a young boy. We'll need to plan the wedding right after his birthday. So at least he's eighteen. One year of planning is ahead of us, Silas. We can't give him away just yet." I pouted and then leaned my face against his neck.
"Darn... we have to fool him for a whole year.... I hope he'll still be missing Killian by then. We'll have to plan meetings for them so they stay somewhat in touch but just out of reach for each other... such as parties." I kissed his neck then purred. "How are your fish?" I asked and then licked his neck to play with him.
"Less than a year~" He purred in my ear. "It'll come soon enough. We'll have plenty of time to plan. How was it with your brother? My fish are good."
"It was fine.... Sylar didn't like it though," I whispered to him and then purred to him. "He'll be okay though. He gets to run off for awhile without anyone pestering him." I kissed his cheek then looked him in the eyes. He's such a sweet mate... asking me about how it went with my brother~ I love him so much. I gave him a kiss on the lips then played with his hair, laughing as I curled it around my fingers then flicked my tail. "I love you," I told him sweetly and looked him in the eyes. "With my entire being. I don't know what I'd do without you."
"I love you too," he purred and rubbed my head. "You two should spend more nights stuck in a cell together," he laughed out softly. "You're not dead, right? That's a good sign." I nodded and laughed.
"Maybe in another few years," I told him then lightly tugged on his hair before I pulled him into another kiss then moved away from him with a small smirk. "I can't crowd him too much~" I flicked my tail then started for the koi fish pond to look at them, swaying my hips a little. He followed after me.
"Well...." he sighed. "I tried. We'll just have to convince him to like us. Right?" I glanced at him then frowned a little. I'm... not sure if I should tell him what happened. We're mates... but does that mean he will be able to forgive me for what I did? It was wrong... and I shouldn't have let Sylar convince me otherwise.... I bit my bottom lip then walked up and grabbed his hand then gave it a small kiss.
"Rei..." I mumbled softly. "If I had a dark splotch on my history- a really dark splotch that you didn't know about- and I told you... would you still love me?" I looked up into his eyes and bit my bottom lip, studying him as my crystal started to ache and I began to feel sick even just asking.
"Silas..." He purred and kissed my cheek. "I have two kids I don't claim and a lover before you... that's pretty bad but you still love me," he purred and wrapped his arms around my body. "I won't judge any dark secret you have from me that you want to tell me. We're soul mates." He rubbed my cheek then. "You know my dark past and can't complain." I looked up into his eyes and nodded nervously, gripping him.
"But... mine's worse," I whispered and buried my face into him. I need to tell him though. He deserves to know... and if Sylar ever decides to blurt it out to him... then he needs to know beforehand so he doesn't get angry and shocked all at once. It has to be me... even if I'm terrified of telling him. "I'll tell you... because I never want you to hear it from someone else first. It'd be so much worse if someone else told you...." I gave him a small squeeze then looked back up at him, my stomach turning into knots and making me nauseas.
I hope he doesn't divorce me... or push me away.... I've done my best to become better, and I regret it so much.... I love him and no one else like this. I don't want to lose him. I ran my hands down to his then gave them a small squeeze, trembling as I kept one of his hands and started to lead him towards our home to tell him in private. If fate has any love for me... he won't hate me after this....
I tried to keep from trembling and took him inside up to his office, not saying a word as I shut the door behind us and locked it then turned to look at him. I took a shaky breath then lead him over to a couch and sat him down on it then sat on the coffee table so I could face him. I kept ahold of his hand and refused to look up at him as my nerves made me want to run away.
"B-before I met you Rei... I was killed- you know that though- and Sylar brought me back to life...." I whispered and gave his hand a small squeeze. "He believed I was his and wanted to keep me to himself. He had adored me for so long and had been the only brother that cared for me at the time. As a ghost though, I realized I had been wrong in life, and Lyle was angry at me, but when I was revived, I managed to get his forgiveness along with all my other siblings as well for being such an asshole and for being the leader of the resistance."
I shook my head then and readjusted myself on the coffee table nervously as it felt like my crystal was going to burst out of my chest in fear of rejection. "It turned out though... that Sylar's love for me wasn't just brotherly love," I whispered quietly, my entire body trembling as I forced the words out of my mouth. "And I let him convince me that it wasn't wrong... and for a very short time... we were together, but we never told anyone. Sylar's mate rolled around, and I forced him to move on, not wanting him to be stuck with me. That's why he hates me Rei.... I forced him to be with Colsin when he didn't want to be with him... and then I met you, and I was so very happy I met my mate and wanted to be with you. I was so happy that you wanted to marry me too, even if it was happening very fast between us, but Sylar got upset because he believed he still owned me because he brought me back to life by trading his fangs away for Amelia's help," I told him and gave his hand a squeeze.
My crystal was beating like a jack rabbit's heart, and I found it hard to breath as I confessed it all to him. I refused to look up at him, scared he would reject me at hearing this from me as I trembled in front of him, sitting on the coffee table. "I regret it all. I should have never done what I did with him. I wish I hadn't ever done it. I wanted to forget about it... to let it stay hidden, but I didn't want him to ever tell you. You'd be so much more angry if you heard it from him and not from me...." I felt my eyes start to tear up as fear struck my crystal hard and I got quiet, afraid to say anymore to him.
"So that's your dirty little secret?" He asked calmly and brushed my hair with his fingers. "You two were intimate together?" He asked curiously. I bit my bottom lip and nodded.
"Y-yes... we had been intimate together," I whispered then slowly looked up at him, afraid to see anger in his eyes. Why does he sound so calm? He looked a little amused towards me.
"You know families used to marry in-family back in the day. It was very common." He let out a small chuckle. "When I was growing up, it was. I'm not really surprised, Silas. That you two got a little... busy. You were both mateless and experimenting. Nothing more. Who else knows about this?" I blushed then and relaxed a little. He's not angry at me.... Thank you so much fate for giving me an older mate!
"N-no one else... just Sylar and me.... I don't think he ever told anyone," I whispered to him. "I never told anyone before you either.... I didn't want anyone to know about what happened. Not even Lyle knows.... He just knows that Sylar hates me, but he doesn't know the entire story. No one else knows why Sylar really hates me," I mumbled then gave his hand a small kiss. I'm never... ever... letting Rei go....
"You don't want others to know, huh?" He asked and smirked. "You're afraid to be judged." I blushed then nodded.
"Y-yeah," I admitted to him. "I was afraid to tell you too.... I didn't want you to hate me or push me away from you if you knew what had happened...." I laughed and then got into his lap, kissing him quickly. "I love you so much~!" I purred to him and relaxed, giving his neck a kiss then started a love bite out of joy. He purred and leaned in towards my neck, licking it.
"I love you too.... We're mates now. It's not like you cheated on me. You did this before we met. He's the mad one, Silas. Want me to talk to him?" Rei purred in my ear. I blushed and looked up into his eyes then quickly kissed him on the lips.
"Do you think it would help?" I asked him softly, giving a sweet purr as I moved my tail close to me. "He might be shocked if you confront him."
"Well we need to do something about his little anger spats.... It clearly upsets you." He looked me over lovingly then. I nodded then.
"Okay," I whispered to him. "Maybe it would be best if he talked to someone about it other than me.... He hasn't been able to talk about it with anyone else really. He really likes William though, but I think I just bother him still because of the way I stopped it with him." I purred to him and kissed his cheek. "He might get upset if it's you confronting him, but there's no harm in trying."
"Someone has to do it. Want to tell Lyle instead and ask him to confront Sylar?" I blushed then.
"Do you think Lyle would look at me differently if we told him about what happened? He wasn't born when you were," I mumbled and curled his hair around my fingers. "Though... I would like Lyle to talk to him. He's not angry with Lyle... and Lyle would be able to help him."
"I don't know how Lyle will take it.... He might get jealous," Rei teased.
"Jealous?" I laughed a little and shook my head. "No... but I guess I should tell him too. He deserves to know as well.... We'll just keep this in the family," I told him, getting a little bit braver about this. "I'll tell him the next time I see him if he's not busy... and then I'll ask him if he can talk to Sylar."
"Are you sure?" He asked softly. I hesitated then before I looked him in the eyes.
"W-well... maybe I'll think about it just a little longer... just in case," I whispered. "I don't want Lyle to look at me differently, but he wasn't born in the same time as you.... He wouldn't think like you and accept it so easily. He might get upset and judge me for it... so I'll think about it for a little longer before I decide to tell Lyle. I won't be seeing Sylar for awhile anyways because we'll be planning A'slin's marriage along with Nico's marriage.... We'll also be introducing Dmeter to other vampires his age to get him to pick someone himself." I smiled softly and gave him a kiss. "It can wait... just a little longer."
"You think about it," he purred. "While we get our boys set up for marriage." I nodded and purred back to him.
"Okay," I told him then wrapped my arms around his neck then gave him a quick kiss. "You're too good for me sometimes~" I laughed happily and then gave him another kiss, playfully licking his bottom lip.
"I can't complain. I had two kids before you came along. At least you didn't beat me there," he purred. I laughed and looked him in the eyes.
"Our kids are more beautiful," I told him then leaned in and nipped on his ear. "They'll always be more beautiful," I purred into his ear then kissed right under it.
"Because they're our children," he purred back. "They'll always mean so much more to us both." I laughed and then nodded.
"Uh huh, and I'll love them forever," I purred to him and then kissed his collarbone as I flicked my tail happily, brushing it up against his leg.
"We need to tell Dmeter together," he purred.
"Uh huh, we will tell Dmeter that he's going to start searching for someone to marry," I told him and looked him in the eyes. "We'll tell him right before Nico's ball and tell him that he needs to tell us when he wants his ball." I laughed and then kissed his lips. "It'll give him time to think about when he wants it." I gave him another kiss and leaned into it before I pulled back and quickly kissed his neck, flicking my tail and curled it.
"This will be great... Marrying our kids off. Grandkids are a blessing... or so I heard. It's a payoff for not killing your kids off." I laughed and then purred to him.
"A'slin will probably give us grandkids when he sees who he is marrying for real. You should have seen them cuddling Rei. They really like each other~ I don't see how they wouldn't have children together. Killian is even a pureblood now. I can't wait to see the look on his face when it's Killian walking up the aisle and not a French pureblood. He will be so shocked yet so happy~ He might even run down the aisle to him. Hell, he might even say I do before the priest asks for it." I laughed at the thought and leaned my head against his shoulder then kissed it.
"You know... He might get suspicious Killian isn't at his wedding- the same the other way around. We'll have to make sure they don't suspect in the last few minutes. My idea is... we fool them. We can have Killian thinking Alslin and the rest of his best men are waiting at the alter for him... but when he goes to walk down the isle, his best men will sneak up behind him. We could have Alslin thinking it's Killian's wedding and he's supposed to wait at the alter with the other best men by him. So that way when we have someone standing next to him push him as soon as Killian enters, and have him stand closer to the priest. That would be such a shocker. Because then he'd realize he's getting married right then and there and in a few seconds he will panic, thinking his French woman will walk down the isle.... but it will be Killian." I laughed then and looked up at him.
"That's kinda complicated... but I like it," I purred then trailed my fingers against his chest. "We'll do that and tell Kingsley about it. He'll love the idea~! I can't wait to see the look on our son's face when he's pushed forward." It'll be priceless, and the wedding will be so sweet when they realize who they are marrying.
"I know~ I thought about this for hours during the day.... I had nothing better to do." He purred. I laughed and then leaned in, giving him another kiss.
"Uh huh, you had nothing else to do?" I teased him and smirked. "You didn't have me to cuddle with."
"You were busy playing big brother," he teased. I laughed then leaned into another kiss with him.
"Well, I had gotten into a fight with him earlier, and Lyle suggested it," I purred to him then leaned into his neck, exposing my fangs. I scrapped my fangs against his neck teasingly and wrapped my arms around his neck. He purred to me lightly before pushing me back and tsked.
"Silas," he purred and tapped my nose. "Are you hungry?" He asked and purred. I looked towards his finger then at him. I am kinda hungry.... I haven't eaten since yesterday....
"Uh huh," I told him and licked my lips, looking at him expectantly. If he lets me, I'll mark him too~ He'd love that. He purred and exposed his neck for me.
"Have a bite, but don't take too much. I don't want to pass out." He rubbed my cheek. I purred and kissed his hand before I leaned in and bit down deeply into his neck before I let my venom drip into his veins and swallowed some of his freed blood. He purred and let out a small moan. His arms wrapped around me before yanking a little on my tail. I gasped and pulled my fangs out as a shiver went through me then hungrily licked his blood up from his neck. I gripped the front of his kimono and curled my tail around his hand, a loud purr rumbling in my chest. He chuckled in my ear softly. "What should we do tonight together?" He asked. I gave his neck another lick then kissed it sweetly.
"We could... play a game... let our kids have time with us... or have tea together," I whispered in his ear then nipped at it playfully.
"We should have tea," he suggested and smirked. He picked up his phone and started to text a servant to get us tea for our long and romantic night together.
