LEGOLAS' POV

I never knew the elders to be such chatterboxes. I had stayed glued to my seat throughout their conversation with Kalim. I was glad Kalim ran away at the right moment because of what Meshach said after. "Poor boy! Must still be dealing with his father's death. If I may ask how did he die?" I was silent for a brief moment staring at the other guest who were also secretly part of my mission to make the faebloods supreme head of all supernaturals. They had assisted me in creating the serum that was supposed to be used for Kalim . I pondered on when the serum had been misplaced during Donald's struggle. " A war between the vampires. He succumbed to his wounds." That ought to get him off my back but he only made him leech on me more. "So you're saying you failed to do the one thing you were created for and worse, those bloodsucking bastards have seemed asylum here. Pathetic! I wonder why we even made you regent." My blood boiled. He was reminding me that I was not the right full heir to seat on the throne. "I have to go." I spat rudely and walked out on them.  I went straight for the throne room. An average room except it had gold spun carpets and curtains that were gifts from the fae's before they left. I walked up to the throne

. A heavily cushioned chair with pure gold armrest and legs. In the centre was a Ruby with a symbol of an eye. That stupid stone reminded me of the seer's last prophesy before I killed him for heresy. I had the full support of the elders then, not anymore though. The words of Peliel resounded in my head like yesterday even if I was only a child then. The throne belongs to my descendants. Children of nature. The once and fated ones. It burned my passion to end Kalim amd the other threats before the collision. Kalim was the last in the Royal bloodline and if he was gone the throne would be belong to my descendants forever and till the end of time. The marriage would take place. Yes! Me and Diana would get married to lure them in and this time I would not fail.  "I have good news." I yelled returning back to my side of the table. "When you say it, it doesn't sound like good news." Meshach taunted. "I'm getting married." The congregation seemed shocked. Typical! "Which house?" Shedrach voiced, his croaking voice unsettling yet soothing. "That more. I'm getting married to a coven member." More gasps followed although my fellow supremacists knew this was coming. "Why not a faeblood?" Meshach demanded. I trembled slightly but regained composure just as quickly. I hated this man's effect on me. "Because I want the planned wedding on two days and the faeblood traditions insist that the northern lights are needed on a royal wedding." That did not stop Meshach's all out assault. " You will still be in Union without the blessings of the faes." "As I said Meshach. It's an arranged marriage. It just to lure tye vampires to attack knowing we will be unable to harm them. We'll have the advantage." I retorted. The elder was calm through it all. "I don't like your cunning antics." That was just Meshach. All about ethics. Times have changed and if you wanted to win a deadly game you created, you play dirty. "So do I have your permission?" I implored. The elders debated silently forming a circle of three. I couldn't hear what they were saying but argument meant they considered it and that was a good sign. " You have the permission of the elders. Do what you must." I couldn't help but grin. I turned to face a horrified Matilda. She would probably tell Damian and that wasn't what i wanted. The serum that severed the mindlink Vampires shared had been added to her custard earlier by Nathan, who was on my side. I watched her look at me drowsily as if intoxicated before passing out. "Not this time, Matilda." I whispered to myself.

AVERY'S POV

Damian was taken the pressure worse than me. He was very protective pf those left I'm his care and technically Kalim was left in his care. He was brushing his palm together to warm himself up while tapping his feets swiftly on the floor. The door opened and both Damian and I felt relieved to see Kalim was alright then Damian picked out his adult card, "That was reckless. Where is the skull?" Kalim slowly pulled it from his pocket and dropped it in Damian's protection hands. "I wanted...to kill the bastard but I backed down." Kalim muttered in a slur, almost gibberish to understand. Damian caught a whizz of his breath as immediately asked, "Are you drunk?" Kalim nodded and retrieve the bottle that had been tucked in his pant's waist. It was empty. "How reckless?" Damian yelled, taking the bottle from Kalim's hands. "Peliel was reckless." I stopped breathing. Peliel was a name that brought dread to vampires. I turned to look at Damian's expression and he was just as puzzled. "What do you know about Peliel?" Damian quizzed. "That she cursed you all and she might be my great great Great! grandmother." "Who told you that?" I queried, still unable to picture fully what was going on. "Meshach." Kalim answered than turned to Damian,"Matilda's cheating on you S-h-e ha-a-s a boyfriend." "Shut up! You're drunk." Damian retorted while Kalim only smiled, standing up and staggering to the guest room. I helped him up and when I was done, i returned back to the living room to talk with Damian. "Damian, so you think...you know! Maybe because he's descended from Peliel, he can break the vampirism curse." Damian cut me off just there. "Avery! Even Peliel could not break her own curse. Kalim is untrained and even at that is still part human." I knew he was right but I just badly wanted to get rid of this stupid curse. I really wanted nothing to do with even with it's perks and Kalim's Revelation reminded me of that just again. I was about to talk some more when Damian hushed me. His eyes dilated like someone was telling him something. "What?!" I demanded, almost shouting. "It's Matilda. She's telling me something." "What?" I repeated, only softly this time. "I can't make out much, she seems sleepy and incoherent. She told me Legolas is getting married in two days."  Just the news to make my day. "Damian, if we attack at the wedding. They won't be able to to attack and if they do, Legolas will be known for the monster he is. I had to call Henry. This was beyond good. "I don't think we should jump so fast yet. We need more information." Damian stated. I considered it whilst dailing Henry's number. "We can do that after." "Avery! Listen to me!" Damian's voice rose and he grabbed the phone from me almost tossing it out from my hands. "What's was that about?" I yelled back. "How you're not listening. We just don't go there in high hopes. We need a plan!" "You're doing it again. You choke me Damain! When will you let me make my own choices." I sent, a murderous glare at him. "I'm only looking out for you." He defended his actions only pissing me off more. "You can't even control yourself and I'm a Shepherd. I don't need protecting not anymore." Damian was astounded by what i just said.

. "I don't like that belief Avery." His eyes shimmered just a bit and I knew he was losing it and for the first time i was afraid of Damian, the man who had always had my back on cold nights. "If you go against me. I won't help you." He muttered, loud enough to be heard. "I wasn't asking for your help. I have legion's competent for the task." I shot back,taken aback by own courage. Done conversing with Damian, I walked out on him. "Come back! I said come back Avery!" Diam demanded, his voice slowly morphing to nothing but a growl. I did not turn back. I was disappointed with him and more of myself. I would have to fight this battle alone and for the first time in a long time, I felt cold and utterly alone. #team Damian or #team Avery
