Power or Death [editing]

Chapter 39.

Agnes' P.O.V.

I wish I could say I'm surprised that we have already ran into problems. Sadly, I've come to expect that wherever I go while within the pack, these she-wolves are going to try to puff their chests.

'Baby.' Xave links me as I guide him towards the middle of the dance floor.

'I just want to dance.' I smile at him.

Xave smiles back at me and pulls me into his chest. 'Then let's dance, baby.' He whispers in my ear.

We are dancing and grinding all over each other, Briggs and Riley are no where in sight. That is currently fine with me but I know I will start to wonder where they are before too long.

I just finished drinking from Xave when I hear the start of a really important song for us. While I wipe the blood out of the corner of my mouth, I look at Xave and I could almost cry.

'Down On Me' by Jeremih & 50 Cent came on.

Shooting my mate a curious look when I see him just smiling. 'What did you do?' I ask while I snake my arms around his neck and pull him into a very powerful kiss.

'I told Briggs he needed to play this song for us.' Xave coos at me through the link as we continue making out.

This song is extremely special for Xave and I.

When we about 13 or 14 years old, we snuck out and went to a Senior party. I thought I was so cool going to a high school party. Of course, I didn't want to go alone so I made Xave go with me.

After we arrived, we honestly didn't know what to do. We looked around and saw everyone drinking and dancing or making out. At this point, Xave and I had only been declared as friends, we only had a friendly relationship.

Xave grabbed my hand, but when he touched me it felt different. I felt electricity pass through him and into me. Something stirred inside me and Xave, it felt like we were mates. I was feeling how my Father always described what it was like when you met your mate, just a much milder version.

Unsure what to do, I followed Xave to the middle of the dance floor. We started moving our bodies like those around us and decided we liked dancing with each other.

We danced for a few songs, pretty PG I'd say. Then, this song came on by Jeremih, and I needed to be closer to Xave. I moved so close to him that our fronts touched. I wanted to try to dance like the older girls were, all over the guy.

Swaying my hips against Xave was a moment that changed our lives forever. At that exact moment, when I locked eyes with Xave, I knew he was mine. I knew Malcolm Xavier Wright was my mate. And the look he had in his eyes and the slight groan that left his mouth let me know that he knew it, too.

Pulling me by the back of the neck, Xave smashed his lips into mine and my whole body felt like it was exploding.

My first kiss.

My first kiss with Xave!

It was such a magical moment, one I will never forget.

I tried to push those feelings away because that's not normally how vampires and especially not how vampire royalty find their mate. We were too young. I didn't want to get attached to the idea that finding my mate was going to be that easy. I didn't want to leave room for the massive disappointment if Xave wasn't actually mine.

That night was one I never wanted to end but I'm sure glad it did. I'm glad we grew up and grew into the people we are now.

Now, here we are in the middle of our male mates' club making out and glowing.
