The Vampire Prince's Mate Book 1

Chapter 25

"Let me see the note", Cole said.

I handed him the note and waited for him to say something. He never did. Instead he ripped the note in half and slammed his fist in the wall leaving a giant hole in it.

"We need to notify the guards. We can't have this stalker finding us and then kill us", he said.

"But how do we know who this person is?", I asked.

"I have a pretty good guess", he replied.

"Who is it?", I asked.

"Flynn. The alpha wolf. He's wanted to get revenge on Mr for years", he replied.

"So the legend is true. Vampires and werewolves don't get along?", I asked.

"Its like a cat and a dog thing. Vampires are the cats and werewolves are the dogs", he replied.

"So will there be a war?", I asked.

"Most likely. We need to be ready at any moment. We don't know when they'll strike", he replied.

This made me want my power to come even faster now. I need to be able to help Cole fight. Even if he tells me no I'll still help. This is my home now to. I need to help protect it.

"I need to notify the guards. Stay here where you'll be safe", he said.

"Don't you remember that I'm not a weak human anymore?", I asked.

"I still don't want you getting hurt. I don't think I could go on if something happened to you", he replied.

"Fine I'll be a good girl and stay right here", I said.

"Thank you", he said.

He walked out the room and I stayed on the bed. My head started hurting again and my whole entire body felt hot. My power must've arrived now. My palms had fire drawings on it. My power is fire. I got up off the bed and I began to rise off my feet stopping about three feet off the ground. Seconds later Cole came rushing in and saw what was happening. The whole room caught on fire. I looked down at the ground and it was full of fire. For some reason it didn't even bother him. Maybe he's seen stuff like this before. After a few seconds, I was back on the floor and I felt like I was okay. Cole came over and gave me a hug.

"Are you okay", he asked.

"I'm fine", I replied.

"I think your power came", he said.

"Really? What is it", I asked.

"Fire", he replied.

"This is amazing. Now you'll have to let me help you fight", I said.

"Thats still a no", he said.

"Come on I can help. With my newborn fighting skills and my fire power we will win for sure", I said.

"I'll think about it", he said.

I gave him a kiss to try to change his mind.

"You can't change my mind", he said.

"It was worth a try", I said.

I walked out the room and down the hall. The girls who I shared a room with we're walking in my direction. The paused and looked at me.

"Isabel. Is that you?", one of them asked.

"Yeah it's me", I replied.

"What happened to you", another girl asked.

"Isabel I need to come in the room", a familiar voice.

"I'm coming. I'll see you girls later", I said.

I turned around and followed Cole back to the room.

"I just got news from the head guard. He said that the wolves plan on attacking Monday night. A week from now", he said

"What can I do?", I asked.

"You're doing nothing but staying here and making sure nothing gets in this room", he replied.

"Cole I'm not going to sit here defenseless while your out there risking your life to protect me and everyone else in the kingdom", I said.

"Isabel I'm not letting you go out there and getting hurt. I'm not letting you go out there", he said.

"Yeah you don't have a choice cause I'm helping", I said.

"You won't stop will you?", he asked.

"No I won't", I replied.

"Well then I guess I don't have a choice do I", he asked.

"No you do not", I replied.

------------------------------------------------------

Later that evening I was sitting in the grand foyer staring at the fire place watching it. If my power was fire then I have to be able to move it. I laid my hand in mid air with my palm facing up. I gently turned my hand to a point where my palm was facing to the left. I watched the fire and it all moved to the left. I faced my palm to the ground and all the fire disappeared. I raised my hand and the fire rose back up. So this must be how I control the fire.

"Having fun", a familiar voice asked.

"Yeah. It's amazing what I can do", I replied.

I suddenly realized it wasn't Cole. It was a snappy voice with a whole lot of attitude. Sarah. Great.

I got up off the couch and looked at her. She gave me an evil glare and I glared right back at her.

"You know I've seen how close you've gotten to my brother. Don't worry sweetie it won't last long. Soon you'll be gone forever and won't be able to come back", she said.

"Yeah right. Didn't you hear the news or notice anything different about me?", I asked.

"Yeah. Vampire looks great on your. Your fire power really compliments your personality but like I said, this whole relationship thing won't last very long", she said.

"Theres nothing you can or will do to hurt us", I said.

"Oh yeah? Well remember that little note in Cole's room?", she asked.

"How did you know about that?", I asked.

"Oh don't worry about that hon. Just watch your back", she replied.

She walked off and I stood there shocked. Did she have something to do with the wolves attacking? Was the main reason that they want a battle? If she is, why is she doing this? I walked to the room and saw that Cole was sleeping. I gently climbed in bed and Cole immediately wrapped his arms around me. I felt safe but I knew we both wouldn't be safe in a week's time.
