Chapter 29 & 30 : NIGHT TIME
Knight was walking in the garden when his eyes caught something beautiful or should I say someone.
It was Isabelle, she was standing beside a tree that bloomed cherry blossom as she looked up at the moon.
Her hair flowing with the wind, her dress moving forth and back, The moon glazed on her body making her to shine under it.
Knight stood there admiring her beauty, taking in her elegance, he enjoyed watching her as she smiles closing her eyes, feeling the breeze on her face.
He took slow but gently steps towards her and stopped when he got to her, he stood Beside not saying a word but then he talked after some minutes had passed.
“Beautiful night huh?” He says and Isabelle swiftly turns to him.
“Says the Stalker” She says reminding him of when he followed her into the bush.
“I wasn’t following you that day, I was just…uhmm” Knight says trying to form a lie.
“Yeah Yeah Stalker” Isabelle says with an eye roll, Knight thought that action was sexy.
Stop looking at her too much, you gonna poke a hole in her head His inner wolf, Mitan says.
“So what exactly are you?? a witch?? a wolf?? a werewolf?? a lycan or…” Knight was about to talk when Isabelle says.
“A Vampire” She says and Knight eyes widens a bit.
“What is a vampire doing around here?” He says knowing Vampires and Wolves are sworn enemies.
“Exploring” She says smiling a bit.
“Hmmm” Knight says.
“What?” She asks looking at him.
“What?” He asks back.
“Why the sound?” She asks again.
“I don’t know, you tell me” He says which made Isabelle chuckle.
“How old are you?” Knight asks.
“Guess” She says not answering his question.
“Hmm 20” His first guess.
“No”.
“23”.
“No”.
“19” he says and Isabelle kept quiet.
“I guess I’m right, you are so young, like my younger sister” He says ruffling her hair.
“Heyyy” Isabelle says pouting, Knight got lost in her cute action.
Isabelle stares at him before taking in her lips and bringing it out wet, Knight gulps before turning, he felt his bulge growing at that slight action.
“Uhmm Good night” He says before walking away quickly.
“Cute” Isabelle says and the shelves her head.
“Remember your mission here, don’t get carried away” Isabelle told herself before beginning to walk away.
Jade was in her room, biting her fingers agitatedly, she could feel Milo slipping from her grip.
She couldn’t let that happen, it angered her seeing them together, She saw how close they got and it irked her a lot.
She sat on her bed, her legs Shaking as she tries to think of a plan or anything like that but her mind was blank.
“Come on” She shouts dragging her hair.
She then remembers what she saw the other day and then the idea came, she smirks before saying.
“Not everyone is who they seem to be” She says .
Terri sat in his room and was on his bed contemplating on what Jade said, no doubt he actually had a crush on Candy from the day he saw her
Her Aura was so accepting, her green blue eyes looking sexy yet innocent, her white hair complimenting her eyes beautifully.
He knew he was going to be embarking on a deadly quest if he wanted Candy but could he withstand it.
What if his mate suddenly arrives and he had ready gone ahead with Jade’s plan?? Does she even feel the same way??
He sighs before shaking his head, laying on his bed well, adjusting his pillow before closing his eyes to rest.
Candy was asleep in Milo’s arms, he kept staring at her face, he felt her birthday drawing nearer and he was so Scared, he has never been this scared in his life until she came in.
His hand went to her hair, her white log beautiful hair, he touches it enjoying it’s soft texture, he then tucks it behind her ear.
“Beautiful” He mutters, he couldn’t fall asleep, he refused to because he didn’t want to have that same dream.
He felt sleep sipping on, his eyes became drowsy and he rested his head well.
“Just 5 minutes” He says and closes his eye and nature took place.
MILO’S DREAM
Milo found himself in the same scenario of his dream, he was looking for Candy in his dream and then he found her.
“Milo” He saw her wave happily at him, gesturing him to come to her.
Milo smiles before starting to Walk to her but he halted seeing a shadow behind her, bus smile slowly disappearing.
“Candy watch o….” Before he could say anything, he saw blood drip Down her clothes and then she coughs out.
He saw the shadow emerge from the dark and then appears before him, his eyes widens when he saw Nathan, the Vampire king.
His jaw hardens while Nathan smiles before saying.
“We Meet Again, Step Brother”.
Chapter 31 & 32 : Love Above All
**STILL ON MILO’S DREAM
“We Meet Again, Step Brother” Nathan says dropping Candy’s dead body which withered away after.
“No” Milo says trying to step forward but couldn’t, he felt like he was being held down.
“What do you want Nathan?? Why did you fucking coke back huh?” Milo asks angrily.
“I came for my mate brother, my mate” Nathan says walking around Milo with a smirk on his face.
“What do you mean by your mate Nathan? She is my mate in this life not yours” Milo says .
“Heave made the mistake of giving us the same mate in the last life but as long as she was my Nate in the past, she is forever my mate Milo” Nathan says stopping in front of him.
“You stay away from her” Milo says gritting his teeth.
“Watch me”.
“Oh, I see you threw away the hair pin I bought for her” Nathan adds.
“You were the one?” Milo asks with wide eyes.
“Soon Milo …Soon” Nathan says disappearing.
Milo wakes up abruptly breathing heavily, his eyes gathered with sweat, his hand balled into a fist.
He looks to his side to see that Candy was no longer there, he grew alert before standing from his bed, looking around.
He was about to step out of the room when he heard the bathroom door open, Candy cane out slowly not wanting to wake Milo up, she didn’t know he was already up.
Milo closes the door and when he saw her, he relaxed, Candy finally noticed him, she looks at his face which Looked disturbed.
“What’s…..” Milo pulled her into a hug before she could complete her words.
“Hey…it’s alright…I’m here” She says patting his head.
Milo sniffs her scent, his nerves relaxing, he buried his face in her neck, his arms wrapped around her waist tightly.
“You really like hugs huh?” Candy teases trying to clear the tensed air.
“Only if it’s you” Milo says raising his head looking into her eyes.
Candy cheeks and ear burned red, she puffs air into her cheeks looking everywhere but him.
Milo smiles seeing her reaction, he stood up straight, his hand Still around her waist.
He tightens the hold on her waist before raising her up abruptly, Candy gasps at the sudden action.
“Kiss me” Milo says but Candy was still lost from the shock.
“What?” She asks him not clearly hearing what he said.
“Kiss me” Milo whispers seductively, Candy gulps looking to his lips in the dark, She swallowed before looking to his eyes.
Candy closed her eyes before pouting her lips bringing it close to his, Milo eyes sparked seeing how cute she looked.
He stayed still till her lips touched his, He didn’t move his lips but felt comfortable feeling their lips joined together.
Candy felt his lips stiff, she flustered her eyes open to meet his staring at her, she blinks cutely before disengaging from the kiss but was pulled back in.
Milo attacked her lips with no mercy, he attacked it hungrily, possessively, Candy hands went to his shoulder as she tried to keep up with the pace.
“Mmm….Wait” Candy says pulling out from the kiss, her hand went to his forehead.
“You’re burning up” She says and Milo eyes went drowsy.
“Am I?” He asks, he started to feel weak, his hand around Candy’s waist that held her up slowly fell.
Candy leg hits the ground, she grabbed Milo by the arm before leading his to the bed, she made him lie down and went to the bathroom getting a bowl of water and a small towel.
She came back and sat by the bed, she dipped the cloth in the bowl of water before laying it ok his forehead.
“Cold” Milo winced before saying, his eyes closed.
Did that dream really make me fall sick?? or was it the fear to lose her that made me fall sick Milo though battling with his inner self.
Rowan wasn’t sick because he was the wolf side of Milo, it was the human side of Milo that was sick.
“Rest” Candy says standing and was about to go but Milo held her hand.
“Don’t go” Milo told her, Candy slowly removed her hand from his.
“I’m coming back” Candy says and went to the bathroom to drop the bowl of water and dry the towel.
She came back and lay beside Milo who looked like he was already sleeping, Candy turned her back on him trying to sleep.
She felt Milo hand wraps around her waist from the back before bringing her closer to him, she gasps.
“Better” Milo says sleepily before falling asleep.
Candy turned in his arms to face him, she raises her head to look at him admiring his features before burying her face in his chest and letting Nature to take place.
Next morning, Candy woke up to see Milo still sleeping, she quietly got out of his arms and went to the bathroom to wash her face and brush
She was still brushing when Milo appeared behind her, hugging her from the back, his face buried in her neck.
“Morning” She says receiving a humm in reply.
“You smell nice” Milo says sniffing her hair.
“Hey stop that” She say dodging his nose.
“You stop that” Milo says back trying to sniff her hair again.
Candy spits out the foam and then rinsed her mouth before dropping the tooth brush in the container.
Milo was behaving extra Clingy that day, he never stopped hugging her at every moment till it got tiring.
When she was about to take her bath, she had to lock the door so he wouldn’t enter since he volunteered to join her.
When she ate, he would kiss it out of her mouth till she stood up and went to eat in his study room.
When she laid on the bed to rest a bit, he hugged her on the bed, now she decided to ask him what was wrong.
They were both on his bed, Candy face in his chest, Milo stroking her hair, bringing it to his nose to sniff at intervals.
“Okay… You’ve been behaving hella clingy” Candy says moving back a it so she could see his face.
“Is it bad?” He asked.
“No but this isn’t you….did you have a bad dream?” She asked him worriedly, She saw Milo expression turn from anger to sadness before his face turned blank.
“I don’t want to talk about it” Milo says trying to pull her close to him again.
“You must…I want to know what can scare the almighty Alpha” Candy teases at the end but she was serious, Milo saw that before deciding to tell her.
” It all began in the past, like a thousand years ago” He says.
1000 YEARS AGO*
One thousand year ago lived a King, a great, ruthless, Wolf king..He had 2 Wives who constantly battled for the throne.
His first wife who was a wolf like him bore him 2 son, they were named Milo Victor Cruz and Griffin Arthur Cruz.
His second wife who was a vampire, bore him a son Named Nathaniel Merlin Cruz…
Nathan was the older brother of all of them, he was older than Milo with 5 years since the king first wife was late when it came to giving birth
Milo and Nathan were the closest of all in the family though the mothers didn’t like it but they were inseparable and grew up with the same brotherly love UNTIL THE DAY CAME.
Milo could be seen in a huge robe, he looked like a prince, well he was and was next in line for the throne.
He heard a knock and he mutters a come in.
Nathan, his step brother steps in with a huge grin.
“Your highness” Nathan bows dramatically making Milo laugh.
“Oh spare me that Merlin” Milo says, he preferred to call Nathan Merlin.
“If it isn’t the prince next in line for the throne….smile brother, today is the day your mate will appear” Nathan says and Milo smiles feeling a bit nervous and he also felt something bad was about to happen.
FEW HOURS LATER*
It was finally time for His mate to reveal herself, Milo hands were shaking as he sat on his princely chair.
Nathan saw this and held his hand comforting him, Milo smiles in his direction in which Nathan mirrors the smile.
A Lady in a black veil came out of the crowd to stand in front of them, Milo felt her scent pass by his nose, his inner wolf crying.
The Lady slowly removed her veil revealing Candy of the past life, Immediately she removed her veil, Milo and Nathan stood up saying
“Mate” .
Chapter 33 & 34 : Becoming the Alpha’s Queen
“What do they mean by mate?” Inside a room stood The 2 wives of the queen and the king as they ranted and shouted.
The Celebration had to come to an end because words were already spreading around the kingdom that the heavens punished the 2 brothers by giving them the same mate.
Candy who was called Macbeth in this realm was given a suite to stay in, she was equally surprised when the 2 boys stood and said mate but she had eyes for only one.
Milo and Nathan stood out the door listening to their parents ranting, Griffin who was Milo’s biological younger brother rushed to them since he was absent from the party.
“I heard what happened” Griffin says but was shunned.
“Not Now Griffin” Milo and Nathan shut him up, Griffin looked at Milo with sad eyes before walking away.
“Nathan has to let go of Her” The king said and Nathan’s mom eyes widens.
“W..what do you mean?” She shouted.
“Milo is the Next King, he needs his mate by his side to be the next Queen, to be his supporters and his strength” The King says and Nathan’s mom eyes and Mouth dropped.
“MY KING” She shouted looking at Milo’s mom with hate.
Nathan who was hearing this had his hands clenched into a fist, Milo looks at Nathan and put a hand on his shoulder.
Milo was shocked when Nathan shrugged his hand off and gave him a hate glare before walking away.
Milo knocked on the King’s bedroom door where they were arguing.
Nathan’s Mom came out and glared at Milo before storming off, Milo enters slowly looking at his mom and Dad who had fake smiles on their face.
“I will reject her” He says and his mom went to him and landed a slap on his face, she raised her hand to slap him again when the king spoke.
“Phaedra Don’t” The King says and Phaedra drops her hand breathing heavily.
“I can’t accept her, Nathan has been waiting for his mate since he turned 18, That’s why you didn’t pick him because he was without a mate, You only picked me to be the next king because you knew my mate will come when I turn 18, Now I’m 18, I will reject her, I don’t want to break the bond Nathan and I share” Milo says with tears in his eyes as he remembers the stare Nathan gave him, his cheek still stinging from the slap
“You will not reject her, I won’t let you and if you do forget about being My Son” The King says with ice in his eyes.
“My King” Phaedra exclaimed.
“Leave, Both of you” The King says and they bowed before leaving.
“You better don’t think of rejecting her” Phaedra warns when they got outside the door.
Milo sighs and began walking away from her, he was on his way to his suite to rest after this whole drama.
He got to the window at the end of the hall, he was about to make the right turn to the next hall beside it when his eyes caught Nathan and Macbeth (Candy).
He gulped feeling Jealousy rise in his body, he was still looking at them when Macbeth looked up and Caught him staring, They both locked eyes, no words but their eyes was sending Unsaid words.
Milo looked at Nathan who looked happy, he sighed and looks at Macbeth who was still looking at him.
Nathan looked at Macbeth to find her staring up with her eyes showing different emotions he couldn’t grab, he looked up at where she was looking only to see nothing.
He grabs her face softly turning her face to his, staring at her with Loving eyes before saying.
“What were you looking at?” He asks.
“N.. Nothing” Macbeth says looking at him before smiling, No doubt she enjoyed spending time with him but something was missing, She felt lonely.
(NOTE: NATHAN AND MILO HAS MACBETH AS A MATE BUT SHE ONLY HAS ONE OF THEM AS A MATE WHILE THE OTHER MEANT NOTHING, IN THIS REALM MACBETH IS A WEREWOLF).
Milo got to his suite as he tries to erase the memory of Nathan and Macbeth together, it was irking him a lot but he couldn’t talk to anyone about it.
He sighed as he removed his royal Clothing and went into the bathroom to freshen up and wash off the memory probably.
Nathan had walked Macbeth to her suite and was currently in his, He felt like going to Milo’s Suite because he spent most of his time there and even slept there sometimes.
He wanted to see Milo and comfort him, he wanted to hug him and tell him everything will be alright but he couldn’t.
He felt guilty for the stare and attitude he gave Milo and he sighed.
Why did the heavens have to give Milo and I the same mate? He asked inwardly, His eyes widens when he realized something.
“I and Milo having the same mate doesn’t mean that Macbeth had both of us as her mate, Only one of us is her mate….why am I only realizing this now?” Nathan says and walked out his room to Milo’s room.
He got there and landed a soft Knock on the door, heard Milo says come in before he entered, Milo looked shocked to see him.
“Why did you Knock? you never knock when you want to enter my room” Milo says trying to forget the matter of the mate, Nathan chuckled
“i just realized something” Nathan says jumping on Milo’s bed also putting the matter of mate behind him.
“What?” Milo turns to him.
“We have the same mate right? but that doesn’t mean That Macbeth has the both of us as a mate, well she does but I mean like her Mate but she has only one of us as her mate, So Maybe we should find out who it is and whoever loses puts it behind him” Nathan explains.
“It Doesn’t matter, I’m going to reject her anyway” Milo says and Nathan eyes widens.
“Then you won’t become king” Nathan says feeling a pinch of happiness knowing Milo would reject her.
“As long as our bond isn’t broken, I don’t need to become king” Milo says looking at Nathan softly, anyone who heard that would Think Milo was gay.
“Eewww you talk like a gay” Nathan says cringing, this made Milo laugh.
“I’m sorry for the attitude I gave you the other time, it just hurt knowing That I’ve been waiting for my mate for a long time and she came but the king wants you to have her” Nathan explains.
“As I said, I will reject her either ways, even if I’m her mate or not her mate” Milo says and Nathan hugs him.
“Thank you brother” He says happily, he started to love Milo more knowing the sacrifice Milo was giving just for Him (Nathan) to be with Macbeth.
“Now look who’s behaving like a gay” Milo teased and Nathan laughs hitting Milo shoulder.
Macbeth who was walking around the palace saw Nathan enter Milo’s room and decided to eves drop, what she heard left her with a sour and broken heart.
Milo was her mate, HER TRUE MATE.
