Chereads / The Midnight Flower Series: Ari Constantine / Chapter 6 - she’s still a child

Chapter 6 - she’s still a child

I really don't want to go.

I sulk to myself but then get a renewed sense of fury.

Like hell I'd let Romeo keep

Luna a moment longer than necessary!

Dammit!

Why'd of all times did we do that aging spell!?!?

I think in frustration.

I didn't even know she wasn't in her bed anymore. I was right next to her in a different bed...how did I not know she disappeared?!?

I screech angrily into the wind as I continue to flap my wings to my destination.

Uuugh!

Why can't I just teleport there or open a portal?!

It'd be so much easier but noooo his majesty wants me to do it the old fashion way since this is my fault! 

I mean it technically is but eh.

I bet his majesty already told my parents about everything that happened too. They'll definitely be disappointed that I've already started to fail my job.

Luna...Luna...I'm coming for you...

.

I ring the door for the kingdom of the vampire royalties.

I wait and wait and wait until finally a pale young servant in her mid 20s opens the door and looks down her nose at me.

She crinkles her nose in disdain and finally speaks.

"Why have you come here uninvited"

Rude.

I stare at her and my hair turns brown and my eyes flash violet.

She pales and backs up a bit grasping at her throat but then she regains her composure.

"I'm here to see his royal majesty Fang." I say with sarcasm.

She bares her fangs at me and growls lowly followed with:

"You'd be wise to watch that tongue of yours demon!" And then a hmph as she turns away saying:

"This way child!"

I continue to stand in the doorway with a bored expression and she snarled with her back still faced to me.

"Unless you'd rather have the door slammed in your face; then get moving! I'm losing my patience."

I roll my eyes and cross the threshold; rolling my shoulders and bringing my wings closer to my back.

She led me to the throne room as most guests are taken there as a formal spot to wait.

"Stay here. The King will be with you shortly." She continued in a monotonous manner; I blink and she's no where to be seen.

I grit my teeth and decide to make myself comfortable.

Especially since she's bringing the king and not Romeo.

Shadows POV

Before my annoying twin showed up I stopped time for close to 30 minutes to have some alone time with my most stunning mate.

I ran my fingers through her dark brown fur cautiously and she began to purr in enjoyment.

I chuckle as she's acting more like a kitten than a werewolf.

Her tongue flops out as she closes her eyes and rests her head on my bed in between my thighs with what I'm assuming is a smile.

So adorable.

I continue to run my fingers through her fur.

*Tell me about yourself*

I telepathically whisper to her.

*I am Midnight Luna Moonlight. But you can call me Midnight* She whispers back shyly.

*I can't call you Middy?* I say with a fake pout.

She growls lowly.

*Where am I?*

She asks me.

"You're in the realm of vampires." I whisper seductively.

Her body shivers and then slowly, she begins to transform back to a beautiful, pale woman with long wavy black hair, and the most piercing baby blue eyes I've ever seen.

I lean in and kiss her gently, she shivers with a gasp; I snake my tongue in her mouth. She pushes at me so I let up on her so she can breath.

I drink in her milky-white face as a blush crawls to her cheeks.

"Was that ok?" I ask her gently.

She hesitantly nods her head; this time pulling me to her voluptuous lips.

I close my eyes and savor this feeling of high and nearly jump out of my flesh when I feel something besides her arms and legs wrap around me. I open my eyes and look in amazement at those glorious wings encasing me and her.

They're such a pure white, I almost mistaken her for an Angel.

"So, what are you; if you don't mind me asking beautiful?" I say to her smoothly.

She boldly looks at me and smiles a seductive smile.

"I'm a faerie werewolf." She exclaims all chipper.

"Is that so?" I say teasingly lifting a brow.

She giggles and then goes serious for a moment.

"You look so much like Fang. But you're not him are you?" She says cautiously raising her guard up.

I decide to toy with her a bit.

"I can be whoever you want me to be ; so long as I can stay between your thighs." I say suggestively waggling my brows.

She turns a bright shade of red and starts to push me but I pin her arms above her head.

Her wing starts to flap all around her trying to hide herself from me.

The attempt was in vain.

"You're so exquisite and stunning." I say staring deeply at her.

She just lays there and starts to tear up a bit.

"What's wrong?" I ask her concern taking over.

"Do you really think so?" She whispers out shyly.

I feel confused.

"Don't you normally get complimented?" I ask brows furrowed, my head cocked to the side.

She shakes her head at me with a small no.

"What has my idiot brother been doing with you then?"

I didn't give her time to answer as I didn't want one.

I just wanted her lips on mine.

Midnight lay sleeping on my bed exhausted from me and my brothers fun.

I watched her sleeping before turning to my brother, and I finally asked him how she got here.

He explain to me what had happened, and how he accidentally triggered her werewolf genes simply from biting her.

He told me how her father called the guards on him shortly after Ari made a scene.

"One moment, both Ari and Midnight were children. Next thing you know they both were adults." he explained.

" I remember carrying her to my bedroom as a seven year old. Next thing I know, she's looking like this. It doesn't make sense to me." Confusion laced his voice, his brows furrowed.

I freeze at his words.

"Seven?" I question slowly as I turn around and stare at my mate with horror.

"Seven." He confirms.

I understand that the children grow quickly here but I also know that it takes a while for them to grow up. The more I think about it, she shouldn't be looking like this at all for at least a couple years then.

I quickly go to her and wipe my hand over her body to reveal her true age.

Slowly her adult body fades away and laying there is a small beautiful child.

"What the fuck!" I exclaim in horror at what we done.

"She's still a fucking child!" I yell out in disbelief.

Fang smirks at me as he walks over to the bed to sit next to Midnight. He slowly runs his hand over her body and I watch as she scooches over to his body in her sleep. He stares at her with a deep intensity before looking at me with that same smirk on his face.

With disgust running through my veins, I quickly run to the bathroom and throw up the contents of my stomach.

He's fucking grooming her!

Had I known she was that young, I would not have done what I did.

Regardless of me being a vampire; age really doesn't matter to us. For me, I try to be decent like the humans. Ridiculous, I know.

She's still a child.

The way she was acting makes so much sense.

I wipe the blood from my mouth; I get up and head to the sink to wash my face.

A knock on the door interrupts me from confronting my brother.

I grit my teeth but compose myself.

I open the door and there stands the house maid.

She looks at my mouth and leans in to lick off the extra blood with a slow seductiveness.

I flinch back at her audacity but quickly calm myself.

"You'll do well to know your place from now on." I whisper dangerously to her.

She quivers and bows her head quickly correcting herself.

"Speak! What do you want!" I say impatient.

"Your father requests both you and your brother. He said to also bring the child."

She says the child with disgust in her voice before bowing and quickly leaving.

I turned to my brother to see he's already picking her up bridal style while she sleeps and walks towards the door.

"I suppose we should head to the throne room now." he says nonchalantly.
