Kronos
"Where are you leaving too?" I ask Natalia, watching her as she packs another suitcase. Her dark eyes flash up to mine, she looked like she had been drained of her life.
"I need to go to the coven. Something's not right." She told me curtly. "Who knows how long I'll be-" I cut her off. I chuckle, standing up off the bed.
"No need to lie. Be honest...he's dead. Or at least that's what you've felt those months ago." She glared at me. Her shoulders shook.
"Shut the fuck up before I fucking kill you!" She shrilled. Her eyes turned white, I laughed shaking my head. "I don't care! I don't love him! My powers have been dying! He's done something! Him and that bitch-" I give her a look.
She laughed, shaking her head. "You should look yourself in the mirror. You don't think I smelled her all over you that night! That little slut! That fucking nothing. I swear, if I find her-I'll do you the favor of killing her. Slowly, just how you like it." She winked, grabbing her bags and snapping her fingers.
She was gone before my eyes. And I was quick to follow, leaving to have my own search to find that little one. She's found out that she's my mate. She even had the audacity to curse at me, I could tell the word was foreign to her once they left those fucking lips. I've never been so hard from a kiss ever in my life. Her soft tongue, playing with mine. Teasing me for dominance which drove me even more fucking crazy.
Benson, Natalia's mate, is lucky if he killed himself. But if he's alive, and with Opal. He's dead.
I shrug my duffel bag over my shoulder. It's been four months and there's been no sign of them. Natalia's powers have dulled, as if it has died all together so she's useless to the hunt. Carmen has decided against me searching for Opal. Along with Vasile, and especially Ida. They've all said it's best that she's left.
My guards have went to her little cottage, they've found it empty. There's been no witnesses to the leave of the rest of the family. She's had a smart friend on her side, Benson had always been too smart for his own good.
I pray that he's alive so I can rip his spine out from the front of his body and straight out the same way. My family looks up from whatever they were doing, some reading, others painting, or on a device.
"Are you finally giving up the title to me? How sweet of you." Dimitri said with a sappy smile. I glared at him causing him to clear his throat. He looks away idly.
My mother smiles, her usual seat on my fathers lap. "Be safe. We have things handled. Be gentle." She chimes. Carmen shakes her head, Ida looks up.
"Just leave them alone!" She screams. Her eyes tearful. "You've done enough! You've put Opal on the top of Natalia's hit list. Just leave her alone! If you care for her just in the slightest." I smirked, clicking my tongue.
"Oh little sister, I do what is best for me. And what I want." She stands up and faces me.
"Then that's going to be the death of your own mate." She growled at me, flashing up to her room. I clenched my jaw, standing straight. I looked around at the faces who looked at me.
"Anyone else want to put in their two cents?" I ask sarcastically. Carmen looks me up and down.
"Don't underestimate your mate, or Natalia. Oh, and congrats on getting rid of your other mistresses. Opal does things and she doesn't even know." I flash out the house and walk towards the garage of the palace.
All that's been in my mind is that dress. Her legs in that dress, her breasts that showed oh-so graciously. Her lovely skin, her random soft blonde hair. Those freckles are scattered over her cheeks, the small bridge of her nose. Her fucking moans, the way she speaks so softly. Her smiles, her scent.
It's been three weeks and I've finally put a place for that face. She was on werewolf territory in Europe. I couldn't stop laughing when had gotten a call.
"King Kronos, would you like another glass of-" I cut the flight attendant off.
"Yes. Two whole bottles."
I walk off the plane, a single car waiting for me. I hop inside and we're off. "Vampires really can't even do right with there own mates." The Lycan said shaking his head. I glare at him, clenching my jaw.
"Fuck off, just take me to where I need to go, Octavian." He sighed shaking his head at my sharp tongue.
"Kronos, what do you plan on doing with the girl. I've gotten to be good friends with Opal. I care for her and so does Viveca." Octavian told me with compassion in his voice. As if anything he tells me will make a difference with my decisions I will make with my mate.
"None of your fucking business."

I watch her as she smiles, nodding her head to whatever an elder wolf was talking to her about. Flo wraps her arms around Opalescent's legs, a little girl holding Flo's hand. Opal smiled down at the girls kissing their foreheads.
She was dressed in a gorgeous sun dress, the lady gifted her a hand woven circle shaped purse. Her hair was whipped around, as a warm breeze brought her intoxicating scent to me. I clenched my jaw tightly, closing my eyes. What made the thin line my sanity was holding on to snap was when Octavian's own beta placed his hand on her lower back. His lips kissing her cheek.
"Kronos, easy-" I flashed over to them, my first colliding with the motherfuckers jaw. He dropped down instantly like the weak bitch he was. I repeatedly punched him in the face over and over again until I heard a cracking noise. Blood gushing down his face, the smell of the blood had my stomach curling with disgust.
"Kronos!" Opalescent cried, grabbing my hand. Those shocks had brought me back from my bloodlust. I grabbed her by the arm, dragging her behind me as I walked away from the prying eyes of Octavian's pack.
"How could you hurt him like that? He didn't do anything-" I kicked the door of a house open, shoving Opalescent inside. Her blonde hair was slightly curled, gloss on her lips and a light pink brushed on her eyes.
"I can smell him all over you! I could sense his arousal, I could read his fucking mind and he wanted to fuck you! He wanted to mate what's-" I took in a deep breath. Opalescent pressed her lips closed. "I don't need this extra stress you bring upon me. I shouldn't have been looking for you for these four months. You've distracted me from what's important, Natalia deserves better."
Her shoulders straightened out, and she raised her head up at me. Her arms wrapped around herself tighter.
"I'm sick of this! I'm sick of you! It's exhausting searching for your face everywhere I go! Everything in me begging to drop everything for you. Your scent almost making me drop to my knees!" I bellowed to her face, I watched as she dropped the mask she tried to put on.
"I just need to get you out of my fucking system." My voice was husky, and low as I stalked closer to her. She held in her tears, taking in a slow shaky breath. Our chests pressed to together.
"Do what you must, my king." I look at the locket on her chest, I grabbed it from her chest and ripped it off. The beta had gifted it to her, I threw it against the wall. She winced, looking back into my eyes. Her lip wobbled, "I had to leave, please just l-let us stay. This is s-supposed to be over. I rejected-" I slammed my fist on the door just over her face causing her to flinch.
"Reject me?! You didn't even say the right fucking words!" I yelled in her face. She sniffles, tears spilling from her eyes. "You could never live without me! You could never live with another man! Did you think you could get rid of me that easily?! And to live here with lycanthropy." I growled in her face.
I was breathing erratically. I was going crazy, crazier than I've ever been. I've held it in well these past months but now seeing her here with a smile on her face pushed me over board.
She looked over my shoulder and her eyes widened, I felt the presence and instantly had the two boys on their bellies. "Kronos don't!" She sobbed. I laughed at the boys who held a wooden stake, the other a dagger that seemed to be dipped in something.
They struggled against my hands that I had wrapped around their throat. Their faces started to turn blue as I squeezed hard. Opal threw her arms around me. "P-please, please don't d-do this. T-they're just t-trying to protect me." She sobbed, talking rapidly. I clenched my jaw, I slammed their head into the floor hard enough to knock them both out.
I turn around, staring at her wet face. "I should kill them. That is a high offense!" I yelled in her face. She nods her head and just wraps her arms around my middle.
"They d-don't know b-better. It's always f-fighting. Please forgive them, Kronos." I was turning into fucking putty. I pull her out from my side. She looks up at me wiping her lovely face.
"It doesn't matter. They'll be punished and trailed." Her lips wobbled, she moved down to them dropping to her knees and cupping the twins faces. I turn my head as the door is opened, the baby girl walking in with Flo. Flo's eyes widened, she quickly picks up her little sister. Octavian sighs and shakes his head at me.
I watched as Opal kissed their foreheads. "You've brought this upon your whole family, Opalescent. Right when you attempted to reject me. Then you set the whole thing on fire when you ran away with that mother fucking man!" I bellowed. The baby started to cry along with Flo. Opalescent struggled, trying to pick the boys up to rest them on the couch. Octavian walked over, picking them both up.
Opal brushed past me causing my anger to flare even more. I watched as she picked up the toddler, instantly relaxing her and Flo. She kissed the little girls cheeks, her hand gently laid on Flo's cheek. "We're okay. Brothers are okay, they tried to hurt King Kronos. And you know, that's a no-no. You know how he's a hothead." I glared at the back of her head.
Flo nodded, the little girl cuddled into Opalescent. Something stirred in my chest and now all I wanted was to see her pregnant with my first born son.
"Let's take a nap, we've been playing in the water all day. When we wake up it's s new beginning and I'll make something good." Opalescent picked up Flo.
"Mkay, sissy." She muttered sleepily. Opalescents eyes snapped to my black ones causing her to let out a whimper. She walks up the stairs, I watch her ass as she bounces up them.
