Guuuuys! I'm so sorry I haven't updated, its just that I've been really sick and today I'm actually feeling a little better. I still feel like shit, but I'm a little better than the other days.
Anyways... How are you guys? I hope you're all good:) Okay, here's chap eighteen...
ENJOY:D!
-------------------------------------
"One more hour!" The werewolf race growled as they fought with the members of the other races. I placed them in groups, the strong, the fast and the smart. Today was the combat test; they have been doing well for being as useless as they are.
We were about five miles away from a beautiful clearing. I found it when I came here, I came early obviously, and I needed time to think. But the more I thought about this shitty situation, the more I opted for option c.
Not train the supernatural races and not fight with the angels and demons, and just leave to be with my race and lead them.
And the more I thought about it, the more tempting it looked.
I stayed with my race yesterday, talking with everyone and playing around. My five boys and I caught up on everything, they told me about their families and about my race. I didn't tell my race I was their Alpha though, the only ones who know right now are Clayton and the boys. I didn't return to heaven when the moon came up. Instead I told Clayton I was coming by the day, and left, but not without kissing little Kane goodbye, to come and train the supernatural races.
I honestly don't know what to think anymore. I don't know whether I should fight with the angels and demons or not. I don't trust them anymore, not since I found out Lucifer has werewolf blood. And I don't think anyone in heaven or hell knows, because I barely caught his scent, and my senses are very high. I was too trusting, too foolish, and he used that advantage. I gave them my trust immediately, without hesitation or second doubts, and they all used that. It was my mistake and no one else's.
Lucifer. My human side is not only destined to be with him, but also with the werewolf King. It's a shame Lucifer didn't tell me he had werewolf blood in his veins, things would've been easier and he might've had a chance after. But he didn't tell me so, he's utterly fucked, no matter what he does.
I also said I was going to give the little King a chance. My eyes searched the forest for a caramel haired man. I smiled a little when I saw him. He was fighting with a coven leader. His lips forming a snarl as he fought with the vampire, I placed the two of them together on purpose; I placed all of the races who didn't get along together. I grinned as I saw how his green mossy eyes glared daggers at the vampire.
I watched the two of them for a while until I decided it was our bonding time. I placed a serious face and called his nickname. Several werewolves turned around, along with some vampires, but they turned back when I growled at them. I ordered the vampire to throw some punches and practice fighting techniques as I looked how the King came towards me.
"Yes, Agrona?" His eyes were filled with hope and love, and I actually reconsidered doing this. I held a finger up.
"Keep it up!" I turned towards the King and nodded. "Follow me" He nodded and started to follow me once I started walking.
The silence around the two of us as we walked was deafening. I knew he would glance at me once in a while but I paid no mind as I waited. I planned on talking to him when we reached the clearing; it was only two miles ahead.
"You didn't do anything bad, stop getting nervous" I smiled. He had been fidgeting with his fingers for the last three minutes and it would be a lie if I said that I didn't found it amusing. He mumbled a sorry and we continued walking.
We reached the clearing in four minutes. I sat down in the grass and motioned the King to sit. He complied and looked around.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" His eyes found mine.
"Not as much as you" The words slipped his mouth before he could stop them, his cheeks turned a beautiful pink color as he realized this and I chuckled at him.
"Thank you..." I smiled. "What's your name? I never knew, I just called you little King" I smiled. He smiled too, and I think I froze, because his smile was beautiful. It lit up his whole face and made his eyes shine and stand out.
"Nikolai Underwood" He smiled.
"Nikolai..." I tested it, he shivered but nodded. I turned my head to him and started to examine his face.
"I don't know..." I mumbled, he frowned but didn't comment. "Your face is more of a Pancho Camareno" I stated seriously. "You give off a Mexican vibe with your tan, you only need the mustache" I don't know if it was my seriousness or what I said, but he bursted out laughing. Shivers shot through my entire body as he did so and I couldn't help but to laugh a little too.
"I do not have the face of a Pancho nor do I have Mexican vibe" He croaked out as he finished laughing. We both held our eyes for a moment before we bursted out laughing again. We were laughing at something that wasn't even funny, it was actually pretty lame.
"Tell me about you" I said once we finished laughing and were calm enough to talk. He smiled a little and nodded.
"I'm twenty nine, thirty in a month" He wiggled his eyebrows, and I couldn't help but to smile at him. "Um... My father was killed by a coven leader, a powerful one at that, because of a misunderstanding" Maybe it was the curiosity in my eyes that made him smile and tell me more, but I didn't mind, as long as he told me.
"His daughter appeared dead on our territory lines, the ones who killed her were rogues but he blamed our territory and declared war. Many lives were wasted that time, I remember it clearly though" He glanced at me. "I took the position of my father that day, exactly fifteen years ago" A sorrowful look crossed his face before he masked it with a smile. I placed my hand on his upper arm and smiled softly.
I felt the sparks when we touched and I could tell that Nikolai wanted me to say something, to ask about it, but I paid no mind and just looked into his eyes.
"You took his place when you were fifteen; impressive" I nodded with a little smile. The frown on his face vanished and was replaced by a smile as he nodded.
"Thank you, you aren't that bad yourself. I could spent a whole day saying positive things about you and I still wouldn't be close to ending" He smiled cockily as I laughed at him.
"With how many girls have you used that one?" I questioned with a raised eyebrow. He sighed and shook his head playfully.
"I am offended, I've never used a pick up line until now, and here you go, telling me it was lame" He scoffed, making me crack a smile.
"I never said it was lame" I stated with a full smile.
"You didn't need to, your actions spoke for you" He sniffed and looked away. I laughed at him and earned a playful glare. "And now you laugh at me" He scoffed and narrowed his eyes. "Let's see who's laughing at the end" He threatened. I had stopped laughing at him by now and started frowning.
His hands were already tickling my sides by the time I figured what he was doing. I laughed as his fingers brushed my bare stomach, the half top I borrowed from one of the girls from my territory barely covering my stomach from his assault. My jean covered legs trashed around as I laughed. Nikolai laughed with me and straddled my hips unconsciously; I kept laughing, barely aware of the compromised position we were in.
Tears escaped my eyes as Nikolai kept tickling me, causing me to squirm around like a fish out of the water.
"Stop! Stop!" I croaked out between laughs. He laughed too and pinned my wrists above my head. I sighed happily as the tickling torture stopped.
"Not until you say that my pick up lines are the best" He spoke making me raise both eyebrows.
"But you just stopped dumbass" He raised one eyebrow at my answer and smirked. Damn, that was sexy.
"I could always start tickling you again" He smirked. I widened my eyes as I gulped. He pinned both my wrists with his left hand and moved his right hand towards my bare stomach.
"Fine!" He raised his eyes towards me and looked at me expectantly, pinning both my hands with both his hands again.
"I'm listening" He persisted. I sighed dramatically and looked at him.
"Your pick up lines are the best, Nikolai. They don't make me want to hang myself" I said with an innocent smile. He smirked and moved his right hand towards my bare stomach, pinning my wrists with his left hand, and started tickling me violently.
***
I smiled at Nikolai once we made it to the others. After the tickling moment, we talked a lot and I learned a lot about him. He told me how his first years of King were, who his mother was and how nice she was, he told me about his siblings and his kingdom. He also learned about me. I told him of my first years as immortal and how the moon goddess talked to me, he gaped at me for a minute until he composed himself and started to ask me questions of her.
All in all, it was a nice bonding time. If Nikolai and Lucifer were the only ones in the picture as my mates, I would choose Nikolai. Conversation flows more easily with him, jokes and teasing are more frequent and he's way funnier than Lucifer.
"Agrona..." Nikolai whispered as we approached the others.
"Yeah?" I asked as I sneaked a glance back at him. His grip on my elbow made me stop dead on my tracks. I turned around and saw the troubled look in his eyes. I gave a step closer to him and frowned. "What is it?" His troubled eyes met mine.
"No one has to know I told you this..." He sighed and looked away. "I know you know you are my mate, and I can't stop them from doing this but I will try to help you" His eyes met mine. "I can't tell you much because we aren't somewhere safe but I can tell you this" He paused as he searched my eyes, but the only thing I did was nod as I digested everything he was telling me.
"Don't trust anyone but your race, stay with them and don't leave them no matter what. I know you don't trust the angels and demons anymore, don't be harsh with them, otherwise they will know something's up. I'd tell you more but I can't, there are ears everywhere" His voice was serious, nothing like the man I talked with in the clearing.
I nodded and he turned around, ready to walk but I grabbed his elbow, just like he did, and turned him around. He gave me a questioning look and opened his mouth to speak but I gave him no time as I hugged him with force. He froze but instantly wrapped his strong and safe arms around me.
"Thank you, Nikolai" I whispered as we separated. He nodded and smiled at me as he prepared to turn around.
"No problem, love" He turned around, but not without giving me one last lovingly look, and walked away; leaving me shocked, frustrated and a little confused.
