This is reality. Not a fairy tale. [BoyxBoy]

Nine.

*Julian's pov*

A nagging feeling in my chest kept interrupting me as I studied for tomorrow's science test.

It was going on nine thirty and Kaidence isn't back yet. Did he maybe need a ride? I nibbled on my lip as my eyes fell onto the piece of paper on my desk that had Clover's address on it.

I sighed, picking it up and storming out of the room. I just need to go and check up on him and see if he's alright. I'll most likely bring him back at the same time since its getting late.

Stopping by Xavier's room, I knocked on his door. "I'm going to pick up Kaidence. Are you coming?"

"Sure, I'm bored as hell anyways." He opened up his door, following me out of the house after I nodded up at him.

About fifteen minutes later, we arrived in front of a nice decent house  and got out of the car, approaching the door and knocking on it.

Something didn't feel right after no one came to the door. The smell of something sweet hit my nose and my eyes widened quickly.

Izänie.

It's a sort of potion, scent that's supposed to put humans into a deep slumber.

Not waiting another minute, Xavier bashed the door open, the both of us splitting up.

"Kaidence?" I ran upstairs, checking each of the rooms and finding his bag inside no doubt, Clover's room. "Shit." I cursed, punching a hole through the wall.

I knew I shouldn't have trusted that son of a bitch.

"Julian, down here!"

I sped downstairs, going into the kitchen and instantly spotted the pot on the stove that held the Izäine.

"Fuck!" I picked up the kitchen chair and threw it across the room. I've failed to protect my mate. God knows where he is now.

My eyes scanned the room and landed on a piece of paper that must've fallen onto the floor.

I picked it up and didn't wait another second to read it.

It's about time that you've noticed that your mate has gone missing. I thought that you out of everyone else would've found out Aña's identity, but of course I was wrong. I thought you were smarter than that, Julian.

But who cares. Cyrus will be very pleased to know that he's finally gotten one of the last elemaeries in the world.

You're never going to see your precious mate again and who knows, maybe I'll be able to claim that tight ass of his. He's a doll isn't he? Too bad you didn't keep a better eye on him. -Ren.

I growled and crushed up the letter, my breath coming out in angry puffs. "I'm going to fucking kill him."

Xavier was leaning over shoulder the entire time I was reading the letter and was furious. "We need Celeste."

I nodded and with that, we left.

"They fucking took him." I'm beyond pissed and terrified at what they could be doing to my mate right now.

Cyrus is one of the most powerful vampires of all. He's an elder which puts him on the top of the charts. He was one of the first hundreds of vampires to be created and climbed his way to the top of the pyramid.

Elder, pureblood and half blood is what makes the pyramid. Strongest to weakest. Of course, an elder is still indeed a pureblood but they've had many years to grow stronger and become powerful.
