Forever

Chapter 4

I go to bed that night after dinner, me and my mom talked about her job and my day in detail, leaving out the little crush on my teacher, during our meal. I gave her a kiss good night and walked into my room looking at my bed with a pleasing smile, I slid in the soft cold sheets, letting sleep take me over.

Marcus's POV
After Rose left I stood there remembering her beautiful sleeping face. I didn't get anymore work done when I heard her heart beat soften. I knew she had fallen asleep, and I couldn't help the urge to watch her look so peaceful. I don't know what it is, but there is something about those beautiful eyes that show that shes gone through so much pain.

I will not let a single soul hurt my beloved mate, she is mine and I love her with all my heart already. Her sweet innocent but pained eyes and her beautiful, rosy red, plump, kissable lips...there is not a single human, witch, siren, vampire, werewolf or any other creature more beautiful and as perfect as her.

As exited as I am to see her tomorrow I need to control myself, I don't want to scare her away with all my attention towards her. I don't know when and how long it will take until I can tell her what I am and what she is to me but I hope soon. I may have self control but as beautiful as she is my control will be tested.

After staying a little longer to finish up the work I was supposed do during Rose's detention I walk out of the school. I call my best friend, second in command, and best warrior.

"Hello Caden" I say into the phone

"Hello sire" his voice comes through the phone, even though he is my best friend he still insist on calling me sire, to show me respect of course. He only calls me Marcus in serious situation or when we are alone. "How was your first day as a teacher" he mocks me, I role my eyes ginning. He thinks I should be focused more on half the country I am responsible for, which is the whole east side of America cutting right in the middle. I keep high order in my territory, I do not allow killing of humans or any other acts of breaking my laws, I refuse to let us get discovered because some blood thirsty vampire can't control him or herself. The rest of it is ruled but my arrogant brother, Caine, who cares about no one but himself and even though he has been able to run his territory he's not doing it the way I would like. I would be better to run the entire country but since I don't want to start a war with my evil brother I try to ignore his side. I still check up making sure he's not doing anything that would make me get involved. I grow angry at the thought of him but clam down and answer Caden's question.

"The best day of my life" I tell him honestly in a daze

"Why? What could be so great about hanging around teenagers all day?" he huffs

I pause for a moment almost not able to contain my excitement "I found her Caden" now it was his turn to pause, after a moment or two I checked to see if he was still on the line "Caden?"

"I'm sorry, I just can't believe you found her, that's amazing!" He says

"I know and she's perfect"

"What is she?" He asks

"Human" I answer with a sigh

"Don't worry Marcus" he says using my first name, taking me by surprising "she must feel the pull too, it will be stronger on your end for a while but she has to feel it." He tells me, of course he would know, Caden has very special powers he can sense other people's emotions, he knows the type of supernatural being things are, their power, and their rank. He is the best warrior and fighter I know, I can still take him on any day, that's why he's my second in command. Since he has never met Rose he doesn't know exactly how she feels toward me, but I appreciate him trying to cheer me up.

"Thank you Caden"

"Sure and just asking.... dose she have a friend?" I hear his laugh coming through the phone, I smile at his remark. Of course he would think that, he has yet to find his mate and he may joke about it but I can tell he wants to find her.

"I am on the way to my house, meet me there" I say

"Sure thing" he says through laughs and I hang up.

I head over to my 2015 Challenger, black paint with two red strips across the sides and perfect interior. I slide in and start the engine, hearing it hum that sweet sound.

After sitting at a red light for over five minutes I'm about to stab myself with a stake. Honestly what is up with this traffic, I look down at the clock on the radio its 5:15, I guess that would indeed explain the traffic. "Screw it" I say under my breath finally fed up with waiting and I change the red light to green which I should have done four minutes ago. Yes, Caden is not the only one with powers I have the ability to control technology, anything from cars, telephones, to calculators, I can also go into people's dreams, sometimes I do it to gather information from enemies, when they sleep I go into there dream and use my mind control to make them give me the information I desire. They can't hurt me in the dream, nor I them, but I sure as hell can make them feel like they're in pain. It's all a mind trick. Once me and Rose are mated we will share telepathy. All vampires share this with their mate, they can feel the others emotions and through time they can read each other's thoughts.

When I pull up to my large two story home in the partial woodsy area, I already see Caden waiting for me at the door. His blond wavy hair sprawled across his forehead and his blue eyes looking at me with respect.

Caden has been with me for 266 years, he was a low rank vampire and had not contained his abilities yet but when I first met him I knew he would be a great companion to share eternity with until we found our mates, he's more of a brother than my real one will ever be.

Caden stayed for a couple of hours and we were going over business and anything that looked suspicious around my territory. The penalty for any serious crimes committed is death, I don't allow rules broken. Thankfully most of the vampires know not to mess with the laws and are very loyal to me.

We also check for border control, it may sound like a werewolf type of thing but I have to be sure none of Caine's servants are coming over to my land.

He leaves with a bow of his head in respect and I nod back. I'm left with my thoughts all alone in my big house which one day I wish to share with Rose. I miss her already, I groan when I think about having to wait till tomorrow to see her.

When I get out of the shower I put on a pair of boxers and head to bed. Yes vampires can sleep, we don't have to but it passes the time and makes us feel more human.

With thoughts of Rose in my head I fall into a deep, dream filled sleep wanting nothing more than to go find her and wrap her up in my arms like I have been waiting to do forever.
