Thursday – Morning
Last night came and went like nothing just happened aside from waking up so early without Ceres in sight or her scent around in my room. I groaned over that. I want to go back to sleep but nope, I can't anymore. I am totally awake knowing she's not around here. I sighed to look for some hint where she was but no sticky note on my bedside table.
"Where could you be?" I asked as I linked her but there was no response which made me and Lena whined a little - well, that's her but to me, gosh, I want her here.
I got up and did my morning routine in that bathroom before heading downstairs since I'm already decent but my mood was still a gloomy one. I was walking downstairs when I smelled fresh brewed coffee which made me run to the kitchen but my excitement turned sour when I only saw Mom, Francesca and her mate. These two keep cuddling and I am jealous.
"Someone missed her mate." Francesca teased that made me half-heartedly smile at her then went to the fridge. My smile widened as I took my favorite chocolate mint that was freshly made for me alone.
I sat on my seat next to my sister. I wasn't in the mood to eat breakfast that made my sister frown at me.
"Eat or you won't see her." She teased me with her serious face but I didn't.
6:30 am
I was really not in my mood until I slammed my hand on the table again which exactly Ceres came in. I turned to her immediately and gave her a punch which she could see stars since my punch landed perfectly onto her nose. Everyone in the kitchen was in shocked expressions which I didn't realize that we're aren't that alone anymore.
"Morning?" Ceres greeted as she fixed her nose.
"Morning. Where have you been?" I sighed and asked her as she hushed me through our link.
"On run with your father." She replied as she went to the sink to wash her face and hands.
"Why?" I asked as I leaned next to the sink. Not minding those eyes were fixed on us like we're on some soap opera or some entertainment.
"I asked him if I'm allowed to leave just for a few months." Ceres replied as she's now wiping her dripping wet face and hands.
"Leave?! Where to?!" I panicked with the thought of leaving me here alone.
"Stupid queen, I wasn't leaving you. I just need to clear things about what happened here last night to the Aspire clan. They were responsible for wiping the fallen rogue and before the news reached them, I needed to explain things. Do you understand now?" Ceres explained but I can't clearly accept it especially with Lena.
"No." I firmly replied to her which she sighed.
"Like I thought you said that." She chuckled that I was confused about.
"Rean, Avery and Vincent kindly be on your best behavior on Friday. Luna, the Alpha wants to talk to you about Friday night." Ceres said to the three vamps then to my Mom who stood up from her seat then went to Ceres lending her a letter.
"It came early this morning and the reason why you've been called for a run earlier." Mom told Ceres with a warm smile then left her with the letter on her hands.
The letter was in the black envelope and it has red sealed on it like in old times. I really don't know the exact look of the seal. All I saw was a dragon was in the form of a crescent moon and a butterfly was in the center of it. Whatever. I studied the envelope more and I was intrigued by the message to the letter. Ceres opened it and an Iris flower was along with the letter. Ceres smiled and relaxed.
"What does it say? Tell me or you won't see another day of my face again." I warned her which she just chuckled like she doesn't take me seriously when I said that.
'Well, my Belle, my queen, you can't leave without me these past few days and you still want me with you in your bed, or should I call it ours now that we're together?'
"Oh fuck me!" I groaned as I realized that she was right, I want her always with me.
But my eyes widened when I realized what she said by the end of her sentence. I blushed and hit her over and over again. Ceres laughed at me before she pulled me into her arms to calm me. It always took effect when she did it.
"Anyway Rean, they'll be here on Friday so, prepare yourself for the worst case okay?" Ceres turned to Rean who almost spilled the blood from her mouth that she was drinking while she was sitting on my sister's lap.
With that gesture, Francesca was more manly than Rean who was being too clingy to my sister. I was indeed jealous seeing them close that I wish Ceres and I can.
"Sure thing couz but promised you'll be there." Rean happily replied to her.
"Don't worry I'll do the talking unless they asked you okay?" She chuckled under her breath that made Rean nodded in agreement until her gaze met mine.
I shivered from Ceres lustful look in her eyes which turned me on as well but...was she wanting me now? In this early in the morning? No! She chuckled.
"Mate, behave on Friday." She giggled as she leaned closer to me and kissed my cheek.
"Then explain things to me later." I blushed as I told her that.
"After school." She chuckled as she took her seat on my place to take a bite from my food.
"Good." I sighed as she pulled me closer to make me sit on her lap before feeding me even though I don't want to, but I did eat. She was feeding me with the same spoon that she was using. Oh, indirect kiss.
7:15 am
We all went to the school apart from Ceres who I left on the phone. At school grounds, I was facing my locket in such daze while getting my things for morning classes when I sighed heavily.
"I missed her Lena…" I whined to Lena who just glanced at me.
'Seriously, you're worse than me. I missed her too but not to the point of locking her up with me all the time. You're being over than normal humans would do.'
"But I can't help it this time. I don't know but I just want to hold her more than just snuggled or something. I don't know and it's frustrating!" I continued whining to Lena which she sighed through my mind before she smacked my head through my mind.
'That's what you get from running away from her. Now, it's eating you alive. Plus, don't worry she also feels the same of wanting you - us naked beneath her.'
I blushed to the last part that Lena mention which made me thought of her on top of me and naked as well. I suddenly felt some hotness building inside my chest that I must ignore. I sighed as I relaxed myself and thought that I did changed ever since I admitted my feelings for Ceres, I became so possessive and overprotective. It was like I wanted her 24/7 with me all the time. Just within my arm's length, I wanted her here with me.
As I closed my locker, I didn't notice that I was perfectly alone but not for long. I felt some staring eyes that looked around and found no one. I took a deep breath but nothing. I smelled nothing and that was strange. I sighed then went off to my morning classes that I have to deal with even though I am not so sure if I wanted to listen to the lectures. Inside the classroom, I smelled Nate and Avery that made me take a peek. I saw a surprising scene. Nate was hooking up with Avery? I knocked for them to know that they're not alone which made them separate from each other's lips.
"So, you guys mates or just fooling around?" I asked them but Nate was shy.
"We're just fooling around." Avery honestly replied that made Nate frown that made me guess that he likes Avery.
"Better to stop doing that before you hurt yourself." I warned them and Avery agreed with me before she went to her seat next to mine.
With that Avery's gesture, Nate left the room without a word that made me a little worried so I talked to Avery.
"Be honest with me, Ave, do you like Nate?" I frankly asked Avery in my serious tone.
"As a boyfriend? No. I just gave what he wanted from me. He asked me if we could kiss then I did because for me it was just simply a kiss nothing more, nothing less." Avery flatly replied as she took her phone out to check if someone texted her.
"I see but Nate likes you." I sighed as I told her.
"That will change when his mate appears." Avery calmly said to me while smiling as she read a text from her phone.
"You bet. Anyway, it seems like you're having fun with your phone, who was it?" I was intrigued by her beautiful smile.
"Oh! It was Raven. I met her before I came here and she was a wolf too but I don't know which pack she belongs to." Avery happily replied to me and I can tell she likes this girl – wait, girl?
"So you like girls?" I asked her frankly.
"Nope but she was the only girl I like if I'm going to have a girlfriend." Avery said while her cheeks are starting to blushed in pink. Her eyes widened to what she just said and covered her face over embarrassment. I just chuckled and patted her shoulder.
"How old is this Raven?" I asked Avery as I was intrigued by her love life and for me to ignore my longing for my mate.
"I think 17 or 18? I'm not so sure and I don't care if she's older than me; in human time." Avery thought deeply as she replied to me that made me chuckle.
"I think I know, Raven is." I chuckled as I remembered someone in the pack named Raven.
"Is she Raven Kings?" I asked to cut Avery confusion that she immediately nodded at me.
I chuckled again and she slapped my shoulder playfully.
"Raven Kings was a member of our pack and she was the beta of my sister but since my sister declined to be the next Alpha, she's been studying abroad and I think she'll be home this month." I chuckled as I explained to her that made her smile even wider. She really does like Raven.
"Raven was already in her mid-twenties and you still like her." I said while smiling at her.
She nodded happily that made me laugh at her then slowly the classroom started to fill with students until our classes began when the English professor came in.
I can't wait for the afternoon class where I could see her again as my music professor.
Ceres
After receiving the letter, I took a phone call to the Aspire clan to tell them some brief information about the incident that happened here last night. I was kept occupied by the phone that I missed my chance to kiss and to drive my mate to school but there was no helping it now. It was done already as soon as possible since it's for the safety of my love.
"Friday was set and hope you'll come." I calmly said to the person next in line.
"We will…" A grumpy old man's voice said to me that I nodded with.
"Okay, thank you for sparing your time with us." I said with such gentleness of curtsey within my tone.
"Ahm, Celestial…we're sorry, we hope you could forgive us." The old man said with such sorrowful voice that made me sighed mentally.
"The things from then were already done and there's no reversing what's already done, grandfather." I said with a slight smile on my face.
"Just like your parents. We'll see you on Friday." He said like he remembered something then hung up the phone.
I sighed and took a sip from the blood Luna's served me while I was on the phone. For a moment, I relaxed myself then went to school for my afternoon classes and to hug my mate. I missed her so much even just for a couple of hours being away from each other.
