Chapter 26

"What you're saying is.. Gaia's the sole reason why the three of you are mates? Because the creator decided to spoil Gaia?"

Gaia coughed awkwardly, "I wouldn't say the creator spoiled me but yes, she granted me two mates."

"The first one is Willow.. which you obviously already knew and the second one is Mallory who also coincidentally happened to be Stefan's only daughter and the one hybrid of a demon and a human."

"Well, also yes, although Willow and I had a hard time trying to find Mallory but fortunately, little one met her in hell." Gaia responded, nodding along.

"Now.. the three of you are hell-bent on finding and killing Stefan so your mate could live longer?"

"Yes, that is correct. Mallory needs to drink Stefan's blood in order to become a full succubus, a pure demon." Gaia, once again, responded.

So far, we've already told them everything they needed to know. Though we mostly talked about Mallory's backstory as they were a bit skeptical to let her live since she was Stefan's daughter. Fortunately, Gaia and I managed to convince them that Mallory wasn't in on Stefan's plans and that she's just genuinely trying to kill her father. Eva seemed to become less suspicious of Mallory and has even began asking Gaia about the dynamics of our relationship as we were three people in one mate bond. Judging from her questions, one would think Eva was jealous of us, but then again, who wouldn't be? As Sapphire said, it's three times the pussy. I'm just not sure Pearl would agree to her mate's wishes. On the other hand, Vaye became rather welcoming of Mallory, which was surprising as I thought Vaye hated demons, seeing as she and Lucilia had a war back then. Although Vaye was only asking about Mallory's experience in being a hybrid so maybe that was the reason why she's so lenient. The queen of werewolves and the queen of vampires both seemed to have no problem with the three of us anymore.

However, there was another queen in the room, and she also happened to be the only queen I was related to.. and the only queen who was still very much tense with the three of us. I could feel her judging neon green orbs on me every time I made a single move. But even with the circumstances, I was still considered to be lucky as her eyes haven't turned into yellow yet. If there was something about my sister that everyone had to know, it was her yellow eyes. Compared to my blue from father, my sister was born with green from mother, and her greens were the shiniest of the bunch, they were electrifying, captivating, and most of all, terrifying. But nothing was as deadly as when her greens would turn into yellows.

Normally, yellow was considered to be the color of happiness, cheerfulness, joy, and everything nice, hence one would feel a sense of delight when seeing the bright and sunny color. One would assume that yellow eyes would mean the same but no. For when my sister's eyes would turn from green to yellow, it would be the sign of impending doom, and more often than not, impending death. She told me it was a strategy for when she made eye contact with her enemies. Her eyes would turn yellow, her enemies would think she's happy, and her smile reached her eyes, these would all manipulate the enemies into thinking they'll be treated with mercy, but then she'd snap her fingers, and before they knew it, they were dead. They were never seen again, never spoken of again, and never thought of again, they were erased from existence, all because of the color yellow.

I've personally never experienced seeing her eyes turn yellow and I never wanted to be unfortunate enough to experience it. But as our eyes met and I noticed her greens had dots of yellow, it was safe to say, I was peeing my pants. Not literally.

Though I was sure Gaia could take my sister in a fight, I was also sure that Mallory couldn't do the same. Hell, if my sister wanted, she could kill Mallory right now and Gaia and I would be too late to stop her but thankfully, she didn't. I couldn't tell what was on her mind, but she wasn't doing anything, nor was she saying anything at all. Weiss was just.. staring at me. Her green eyes with a hint of yellow were constantly meeting with my deep ocean eyes. I didn't know if I liked her silence better than her threats.
