The Lost Four

The Start of a Beginning

I wake up with the side of my neck throbbing. Groaning I flip sides to lay on. "Good morning princess", a deep, raspy voice behind me is heard. I quickly turn and see Xandri propped up on his arm looking at me. "Where are we?", my voice comes out as a whisper. I didn't intend it to, I feel my throat dry. "Do you have water?", looking back at him, he's turned his back towards me. I look him up and down, his back resembles a Greek God. Thinking back to the events from earlier I start to blush. "Glad to know you're still thinking about me princess", without even turning around he exits the room. Taken off guard I can't help but wonder how this week can get any weirder.

He comes back with a cup of water and hands it to me. "Thank you", taking a sip. The silence becomes awkward so I just sit there looking at the cup in my hand. "Yesterday was a lot, and I'm sorry for how you learned about this world and yourself" he finally speaks up. "Hell there's still a lot for you to learn but as of right now just get comfortable and I'll assign a maid to you, when you're ready just tell her to bring you to my office ok". He looks down at me from my compromising position on the bed. Quickly looking back down I start to feel timid. You weren't so timid when you were sucking his face off earlier though. Blushing as my inner thoughts keep me thinking about our make-out session.

"Look at me princess", slowly I lift my head and look at him. He crouches down next to the bed holding eye contact but yet he's still taller than me. "I'll explain everything later and I know asking for this is a reach but can you trust me" his eyes looking sincere for a moment. "Yes", is all I can get out before my eyes drift down to his lips. He smiles and stands. "I'll see you in a little bit Princess". He walks out the door and I feel like I can breathe again. I set the cup on the nightstand beside me and I get up and walk to the long mirror on the side of the room. I started to examine myself and everything looked fine except one thing stuck out to me.

I get closer to the mirror turn my neck to the side and see two bite marks. "Looks like a fucking dog got to me". I touch it and wince at the touch as it's still rather fresh. Earlier events started surfacing. Images of Xandri flashing canines at me, his eyes glowing a bright brown. "Am I going insane, I need to snap out of it". Frantically I start searching for my phone or any phone for that matter. Just as I'm going through drawers the door opens. "Hello, Ms.Cyerene", a woman in her early twenties comes in with a fresh set of clothes.

Stopping in my tracks I turn to her as if I wasn't rummaging through things. "Uh hello". Now on high alert, I look at the woman in front of me heading to the room connected to this one. Slowly following her, I walk into a rather large bathroom. I look around amazed. I thought that bedroom couldn't get any bigger. "Would you like to take a bath or shower Ms.Cyerene" the woman looks at me. "You don't have to call me Ms, Cyerene is just fine". The woman smiles and nods her head. "As you wish", she places the clothes on a bench close to the entrance of the shower.

"I'll take a shower I won't be long" A small smile forms on my lips. "Of course, I'll be in the bedroom, call me if you need anything" She swiftly exits and closes the door behind her. I look around and a window catches my eye. I scoff as I notice how high it is. "You've got to be kidding me" I whisper to myself and look around. Looking at the bench I found an idea. Hoping onto the bench I reach for the window sill and go to push myself up to look outside. "Holy shit we're up high". Looking out the window, we've got to at least be 4 stories up.

"Is everything ok in there", the maid shouts from behind the door. "Everything is fine". I find my way back onto the floor and start the shower. Might as well take advantage of it. Stripping all my clothes off I get into the shower.

Xandri's P.O.V

Looking at the piles of work on my table I groan. Sitting back I close my eyes letting my mind wander. My princess pops into my mind. I can't help but feel a little guilty at our rough start but it couldn't be helped. Rico walks in and plops into one of the seats sitting opposite of me. "What is it, Rico". I slowly sit up seeing him looking at his phone. "What I couldn't miss the presence of my friend," he says putting his phone down. "Yeah well, that trip didn't turn out the best," I say.

"Nothing we can do about it now," he says suddenly getting serious. "They got close to her, they're progressing. The last meeting showed how the other three founders were almost found out, one of them almost got kidnapped luckily they were saved in time". I sigh and rub my hands over my face. This regime is growing faster than anticipated beings of all kinds are joining. "I know we need to figure this out and fast especially with Cyerene being one of the founders" I turn my chair and get up to pick out a book. The book is about all supernatural history.

Cyerene's P.O.V

I walk out into the bedroom dressed and feeling refreshed. The room looks as if nobody has been here. "Would you like a tour?" the maid says posted by the door. "Yes, but what's your name". I don't want to refer to her as 'the maid'. A small smile appears on her face. "It's Beatrice" She turns and opens the door and walks out. I follow her and I start in awe of how beautiful this place is. A castle truly is the only word that I could think of. We walk through maybe half of the palace before we stop in front of big double doors. Beatrice knocks on the door and a familiar voice tells us to come in.

I get excited for reasons I don't know or understand. We enter and a man is sitting in a chair staring at us as we walk in. I look ahead and lock eyes with Xandri. A sense of desire as I'm looking into his eyes and I'm sure he senses the same. "Take a seat Cyerene". Now nervous I take a seat in the chair beside the mystery man. Both he and Beatrice exit the room and Xandri doesn't take his eyes off me. "Why'd they leave". Breaking the silence looking at the door. "Because I told them too," he says walking around his desk and sitting on the edge. "But you didn't even speak to them," I say looking back at him. Now I'm confused.

"I did, you just didn't hear me," he says. "How is that possible", my mind came up with a million questions. "Werewolves have a thing called a mind link, where we can communicate to each other, especially when we're in our wolf forms, it's also how we communicate with our wolves" he explains as if it's perfectly normal. "I don't understand nothing is making sense" I look down a shift in my seat. "Here this will explain everything" he hands me a book that's black on the front. "What is it" I look up at him and his eyes are already on me.

"It's everything. It's the whole supernatural world's history", I look back down at the book and open it to the first page.
