My Vampire Mate

Chapter 4: Remingtons' POV

[At the same time]

As I was heading to my truck to go pick up Seri, the wolf boy from earlier rode past on his skateboard. It was the first time I had gotten a good look at him. He was gorgeous, with his black and blue hair, sun kissed skin, and deep forest green eyes that glanced at me for a second before looking away again. After a few seconds of watching his slender muscled form go down the road, I got into my truck and turned on the engine. Backing out, I turned the wheel and headed for the middle school to get my sister. Ten minutes passed and I pulled into the parking lot to see my sister standing with her group of friends. After a few minutes, she saw me and said goodbye to her friends before heading to the truck. Opening the door to climb in, she said "hey Rem, how was your day?"

"It was fine Seri, how was yours?" I asked as she buckled herself in.

"It was good. I made friends with a werewolf girl, her name is Genie. She's really pretty with pale pink hair and aqua green eyes. She said she's the step sister of one of your classmates, Carly I think is what her name is. They'll be at the party later tonight" she said excitedly as we drove home. Pulling into the driveway, I could see moms metallic gunmetal gray BMW 7 series parked in its usual spot.

"Hmm I guess mom got off work early today" I said wondering what she was doing home so early.

"Maybe. Or maybe she forgot something" Seri said as I parked my truck next to the BMW. Turning off the engine, we hopped out and headed for the house. As we opened the front door, the smell of baking cookies hit our noses. As we went inside and closed the door, we could hear our mom calling from the kitchen "oh kids you're home! Welcome back, I wanted to surprise you so I came home early."

"Hey mom" we said in unison as we walked to the kitchen. Looking around we noticed that she hadn't just baked cookies, she'd made an entire feast.

"Not that we don't appreciate the surprise but what's all this for?" I asked gesturing to all the food she'd made.

"Brilliantly astute as always I see, you're right it's not just a surprise for you both. Your dad has some important visitors coming tonight so I am to play hostess" Mom said with a shrug and a sad smile.

"Important as in Vampire Council important or day job important?" I asked starting to worry. The council only came over when things were getting bad and they needed the nobility to back them on something.

"The Council, which is why I'm glad you'll both be in the Crescent Moon Packs territory tonight since it'll be safer than being here tonight" she said frowning.

"Me too mom" Seri said with a visible shutter. Some of those old vampires had been trying to seduce Serenity since she was nine to gain more power for themselves but I was always there to protect her. See my family is what you'd consider vampire royalty as we are amongst the oldest vampire families still in existence.

"What time will they be here, so we can leave before they arrive" I asked my mom who had moved around the counter and was now hugging my sister trying to calm her down.

"They'll be here at nine so you'll need to leave by eight fifteen to completely avoid them. Also, I give you permission to teleport tonight as it will make it almost impossible for them to track you and only come home when I give you the all clear signal. Okay?" Mom said still hugging Ali.

"Yes ma'am. You know I'll protect her with my life" I said to both of them.

"I know sweetie. I just hope it doesn't come to that. I also hope you'll find your mate and be happy soon. You've been down for so long" mom said with a sad smile placing her left hand on my chest where my mating mark was hidden beneath my shirt.
