The Midnight Flower Series : Ari Constantine

The only way out is through.

Midnight woke up shortly after me and Fang made it to the throne room.

She looked between me and my brother with confusion as he held her at his chest with a steady grip.

The nightgown she was wearing slowly transformed into a cute, ruffly red, dress that was proofed out accentuating her royalty. And ever so slowly, a thin obsidian tiara with opal stones formed on her small head, barely visible against her raven black hair.
The intricate designes of flowers adorned the tiara; the opal stones creating the middle pieces. The tiara created the shape of a triangle.
I watched in awe how her beauty grew more.

Her pale milky white skin and her extremely black hair with a splash of red.

"Ari!" Midnight squeals in delight; wriggling herself out of Fangs grasp.

A faint hiss comes from his lips and she instantly stops running towards the small demon boy with wings like hers but black.

Straight defiance flashes in her eyes and her cheeks redden with anger.

Before Fang can make any remarks to her behavior, my dad faintly chuckles.

"Child, I like your spirit." My dad, King of Vampires; Vicctor Von James says booming out with his deep yet silky voice.

Midnight stiffens for a moment and then composes herself before facing him.

"Pleasure to meet you, your highness." Midnight humbly says with a curtsy.

"I have here your friend who's come to take you home." He says with a small gesture of his hand.

"I do hope you enjoyed your stay." My father says with the unspoken sentence that says: but now you must go.

She smiles gracefully at him and then raises her chin with an arrogant tilt.

"I appreciate your hospitality but I'm not sure if I'm ready to leave my mate yet." She says gently calling out the unspoken meaning father was insinuating.

Amusement flashed in his eyes as she walks confidently to my side and reaches her hand up while facing back to my dad.

Confusion muddles my brain, that is until she slaps at my side and reaches back up again with a grabby fingers; I cautiously grab her hand.

"I would like to know the homeland of my mates King Vicctor." She says loud but gracefully.

My eyes widen at her bravery and knowing my father, I flinch for just a moment.

A small chuckle escapes his lips once more and finally he nods.

"Luna, you can't stay. I have been assigned to take you home and as your protector you must come with me." Ari says his turquoise hair falling across his obsidian eyes.

Midnight tightly squeezed my hand before reluctantly letting go.

"I understand." She finally squeaks out with disappointment.

Ari's eyes soften and he pats her head gently when she makes it to his side.

"Let's go home Luna. Your father and mother needs to have a word with you." He says opening a portal.

Fang lets a low growl out at Ari's touch to Midnights lower back but he simply stays where he is and lets them leave.

Once they're gone, I round on my twin and I throw a punch to his eye and then his stomach.

"What the fuck is wrong with you!?" I yell out as I yank him up by his hair before his knees even hit the ground.

"ENOUGH!" My father booms out.
