"Welcome everybody. Today, we have asked you to come here, because King Lucas and I have an announcement to make to everyone in the SN world" I say, my expression masked as I face the crowd and the cameras. "After weeks of us finding each other as mates... we've decided, we are not meant to be. Since we are mates or beloveds, we'd only hurt one another if we rejected each other. Since we basically need each other we are basically..." He stops as he looks at the cameras. No, he has to do this. "... A divorced couple. We will be allies when needed" I explain quickly.
"That is all... Thank you for coming. Goodbye," He says and I see his fists clenched at his side. We both nod at each other and turn, facing away from each other. I manage to hide my smile well and I walk down my side of the stage in the Vampire Kingdom. All the vampires try to ask me questions but I ignore them and Alexander grabs my hand. This is so weird. We walk to the car and get in. Once Jason starts driving, I sigh in relief. "Gosh. Do you think the news will spread quickly?" I ask as I turn to Alex. "Are you kidding me? As soon as we started driving and Luke got into the house, they ran. It'll be spread in a matter of hours. Now we must get to the pack. Ma-" He stops as he turns to the window. "What?" I say confused.
"Stop the car, Jason. Now" Alex orders. Jason looks at me and I nod. He stops the car. "What is it?" I ask again. "That's her... My mate" he says nervously and I see a girl walking. "Wait. We need to tell her. I'll get her" I say. "What do you mean g-" I hop out of the car and slam the door shut. I fix my dress. I run and pick her up. She starts screaming and I throw her in the car. "Alexa!" Alex yells in protest. I get inside. "Sorry" I apologize.
The girl sits up and I see her and Alexander look at one another before she looks at me and glares. "Don't look at me like that. We aren't even dating. It's something we decided to do so we could all be safe. Alexander is like a brother to me. No worries I won't kiss him but I may have to hug him once or twice. Believe me, when I say I don't like him. He's too... I don't know. Now my mate... girl let me tell you!" I smirk. "Ok. We get it, Alexa. Now shoo. I need to talk to my mate" Alexander says. I raise my eyebrows.
"Excuse me!? This is my car! But whatever. I'll run. Want to make a bet? I'll get there before you" I say. "Deal" he smirks. I get out of the car and close it before the car starts. I focus and run. Damn, I forgot about the heels, oh well. I continue running, quickly passing the car. I smell burning rubber and I see the heels slowly losing, well, the... heels. I look over my shoulder and use my water powers to grab me and float me over the wall. I get down and flip my hair.
I check myself and see everything in place. I go to the front where the entrance is at and stand there smirking. The car comes in and Alex and his mate get out. Alex was obviously annoyed. "I win" I smirk. We turn around and walk-in. Lacey, a little girl of about six or seven, comes skipping to us. She bows and hands me a pair of heels. "Good afternoon, Alpha. Madame Luna told me to bring you these shoes. Good afternoon, Mr. Alexander, Miss" Lacey smiles politely. "Why, thank you, Lacey! You can go play now" I say. She nods and bows before running away, giggling.
"Be careful you, Lacey has a crush on Alexander. Don't want her stealing him from you. Wait, what's your name?" I joke around. "My... My name is Catherine" she says softly. I grin. "Well you two go... enjoy yourselves. Just don't get out of the territory. We don't need trouble. Where's Maddox?" I ask Alex. "Meeting Room," he says, looking at his mate. I put on the heels and walk to the meeting room. When I enter, I see him smiling charmingly and I feel a small tingle but I remind myself it's just a potion. "Maddox," I say, firmly. "Good afternoon, Alpha Summers" he smiles smoothly and I let Dulce partially control me. "Sit please," I say. He and his Beta sit and I use my water powers and shoot him.
There's a light hiss and a small light. "What was that?! Did you just attack the Alpha?" The Beta says, angry and I hear that accent now. "Sit down, now. I know of Kyle and you. Of what you did to me" Maddox looks scared. "It's okay, really. You need my help and so you will have it. Keep informing him of everything. In a time span of six months, you will tell him that I'm going to West Grove to attend to some business. I'll let him take me as long as you get your family back. As soon as that happens, you leave and hide your family. I will manage to get myself free. Don't try to get me. Okay?" I say firmly, leaving no space for arguing.
"Thank you, Alexandria. I owe you" he says, his accent freed. "No, it's my fault all this happened. He may have been an evil tyrant, but when I rejected him, his wolf went mad and it has affected him. I assume the powerful goddess gave him what he deserved but not having a mate, has broken him. That's all today. I must attend to some businesses. Justin!" I say honestly then yell. A guard comes and bows. "Our meeting is over. It was a pleasure seeing you, Alpha Maddox. Justin, please escort the Alpha and his Beta out" I say firmly. "Yes, Alpha," Justin says. He tells them to follow him and before Maddox leaves, he hands me a small tube.
"It's the antidote... Thank you, once again" he says before leaving. I take the thing as soon as he leaves and everything becomes sharp once again. I walk out of the meeting room and walk to my office, but oddly enough, I change my course and stand in front of the library doors. I open the doors and go in, closing the doors after me. I go through corridors looking around aimlessly at every book. When I finally reach the back, I spot a book. As if it were a guest book. I open it and see it's the names of the people who lived here long ago.
The Montgomery's:
Anise Brown Montgomery,
Allen Montgomery,
Derek Montgomery,
Eleanor Montgomery, and
Denise Montgomery.
As well as some servants.
My eyebrows furrow in confusion and I walk out of the library and to my office. I lock the doors and rush to my computer. After typing in my password to the Supernatural website, I type in Anise Montgomery and I wait for the thing to load. Once loaded, I see that most of them died in a huge war years ago, back before I was born, when humans found out about us. Most humans either reluctantly accepted or they wholeheartedly accepted. Others who are now hunters, hate us. Some never really knew. The only one alive was the youngest daughter, Denise. Turns out she was 15 when this happened so she was in a children's camp and eventually they took her to an orphanage and she left the castle, not wanting to relive any memories.
She's now about 31 and she has four kids with her mate in Atlanta. She is a teacher and she's happy. The castle was apparently very important because it was built on top of a collapsed minefield with lots of gold but it couldn't be attained on time since it collapsed. I roll down a bit more and see another news page. A writer, well news reporter, said that an elder accidentally let slip out the fact that the mine was used as a grave that contained bodies of loved ones. That the whole territory was protected and made magical, or holy as some would say. Many weird things also happened sometimes in the forest. "Alexa! Come quick!" I hear Jennifer yell. I look up immediately and rise. I go to the door and open it.
"What's wrong, Jen?" I ask. "We, as in me and the five were walking, because they wanted to tell me something important when someone grabbed Tyler!" She yells frantically.
"What!? Let's go!" I say. We run outside and I pull out my phone and call Lucas. Oh, please answer, please!
**
"Hello?" I hear. He obviously didn't check his Caller ID. "Lucas! They took him!!" I yell. "What? What are you talking about?" He says, confused.
"Someone or something took Tyler!" I yell. "I'll be there in a minute" I hear him say. I confirm.
**
Jennifer, about five-pack guards, and I, run to the forest and I look at Jen. "Where?" Is all I ask. "Right there. All six of us were walking and just as they were going to tell me something, someone grabbed him, only the arm showing and he disappeared!" Jennifer explains. I hear the wind and suddenly Luke and four of his trusted men, who know of our act, appear. I hug him and he hugs back. "We must find him. We will search everywhere. If you find something, either mind link Alexandria or me. Go" Lucas orders. The men who came with him bow at him then turn and bow at me.
They run. I barely see them and they disappear into the woods. I nod and my pack members bow at me, then Luke before running and jumping while shifting mid-air. They leave.
"Something serious is happening and they still are trying to show off to one another. Shall we my dear? Let's see who wins" I say as I scoff. "Why of course, Alexandria. Ladies first" I kiss him and run quickly before jumping in mid-air, making a backflip, and shifting before landing with a thud on the ground on four legs. I look back and see my mate running to me.
I move aside and start following a scent. I hear something faintly and I nudge Luke's side with my head. He nods and we start running. After a bit, I look down and I realize, I'm basically floating in the air as water is around me, gliding me. "No fair!" Lucas whines. Water suddenly picks him up as well as he's running and he smiles widely. We keep following the scent until we see Tyler. I immediately run and jump, shifting in mid-air, landing fully clothed on my feet. I run to Tyler and I hug him. Lucas follows and hugs him too. Suddenly, links come from everywhere, saying they have found some sort of horse tracks. "Horse tracks? But there are no horses here?" I say, confused. "You are right Queen Alexandria, but there are centaurs" We look up and see a centaur. Lucas hisses but the centaur ignores him.
"You, Alpha Summers, are one of a kind. Hidden Alpha, Daughter of a Beta, Rejected mate of a once-powerful Alpha, powerful Alpha, Beloved to the Vampire King, and controller of the Mighty Water. You are very connected to the earth. Us centaurs are half earth children. We have mystical powers. We led Tyler here because he has the sight as we do. He knows the future but instead of helping, we let it happen. We study the world. We are sorry if we have scared you but you must not try to dig into this castle's past. It is very dark. These woods are indeed magical. Many creatures never known or thought to be extinct, live here. We must protect each other from hunters. We wish to live in peace" The centaur explains. Lucas looks at me.
"We understand. We will make sure of that" Lucas promises. "Thank you. You are free to go" The centaur says. We quickly mind link everyone to go back and they do as told. We shift and I grab Tyler by the scruff. He starts moving around, trying to get out. "Son, we are going to run very quickly. Let your mother hold you" He finally relents and we start running quickly, me making sure that he is still with me. We soon reappear back outside the forest and I shift back, hugging Tyler. "You scared me, baby. Oh please, at least mind link me when you go into the forest" He nods and apologizes before running off.
I look at the men and thank them and they simply bow. I look at Lucas and I restrain myself from kissing him. My face becomes serious as I see a news-vampire looking. "Well Lucas, thank you for helping me find our son," I say, my expression serious. Luke looks confused and slightly hurt before he realizes, smelling the vamp. "I did it because I love my sons. They're my life and you know it Alexandria. I will personally pick them up in two days and I'll bring them back in three or four days tops" He says, also serious. "Very well. Goodbye, King Lucas" I stand.
"Goodbye, Alpha Summers. Congratulations on your relationship" he mutters. "Thank you," I say. I put my hand in his when he offers me a hand and we shake our hands, a slight pressure, soothing one another. We reluctantly pull away, never leaving the others eye view. Finally, he breaks it. "Tell the kids I said I'll be coming soon. Let's go men" He says. They nod and the guards surround him, so he is not seen. I hear him commanding and with a whisper of the wind, they're no longer there. I turn to my men, well wolves and they bow. "Patrol the territory. I want no vampires trying to interview. Inform Luna that for the fourth wall, only people with my strict permission may enter" I order.
They nod and run off. I sigh and slowly walk away. Once sure I'm alone, I use my water powers to glide me home and I go in. I hear giggles and I see Catherine and Alexander messing around. "Hey, guys," I say as I see them, all happy. "Hey! Want to help us make cookies?" He asks. I laugh forcefully and shake my head. "No thanks. I don't want to bother you two. Enjoy, I'll be in my room. I need a nap" I say. They nod and go back to each other. I walk up the stairs silently and I go into my room.
I lock the door as soon as I'm inside. I take off my heels and change into a shirt of many that Luke brought me so I could sleep at night. I sigh and lay down in my bed. I bring the shirt up to my nose and I smell his scent. Soon tears fall from my eyes and slowly I cry myself to sleep.
