Carmine's POV

Ugh! It has been nearly two whole months since my pixie has come to my school. And with each encounter I just want to ravish him on the spot. I thought in frustration. While walking down the halls of my school silently. Shaking my head at my ever present thoughts, I run my hands through my dark hair.

Opening the door to my office I collapse in my chair and continue to think about my beautiful pixie. All the while running my hands on the box on my desk that holds my birthday gift to him.

Gods! I can't wait till his eighteenth birthday so that I can have him all to myself. I think with a fierce glower on my face. Just at the end of the cursed week. Do I get to be with him.

Nothing will stand in my way from me claiming what is mine! Throwing all my sour and gloomy thoughts to the side, I wait for the long day to end. Thank the Gods that it is already Wednesday. Only two more days to go.

Thursday night

Standing outside of my pixies house, I lean against the oak tree that is near the edge of his property. I have been slightly worried about him all week. So much so that I have been resorted to keeping an eye on him at night.

He's been really pale and looking feverish lately. I do not like him being sick. But there is not much that I can do about it. Besides breaking into his foster parents home and tending to him at night. Breathing another out sigh, I lean further back into the tree hundred year old oak tree. His light was out and the house was quiet.

Considering the time I'm not surprised at all.

But hearing his moans and groans of pain has nearly tried all of my patience. All I wanted to do was to climb into his bed and hold and take away all that was making him ill. Yet I cannot do that as of yet. I have to wait till tomorrow night to even ask him out on a date, much less hold him as I wish.

After several more minutes I sigh once again. Closing my eyes in exhaustion, I wearily open them and begin to make my way through the forest to my hidden home. Trudging my through the dense trees. My mind only on one thing. And that was of my bed. Finally reaching the front door of my cabin I noticed a very familiar scent that leads inside. Growling in anger. I walked inside of my home and quietly closed the door.

Walking towards the kitchen, I pass by the living room and ignore the vampire who invaded my home. Opening the fridge I grab a few packs of blood and popped them into the microwave to heat up quickly. When I heard the ding, I sighed in relief and quickly downed the bagged blood. When I got through I tossed the bags in the trash to be disposed of later.

Composing my features and emotions, I brace myself for what to be undoubtedly an unpleasant experience. Stalking into the living I move in front of the vampire who is a few hundred years my junior.

" What. Are. You. Doing. Here. Mira?" I growled low in my throat at the female vamp sitting nonchalantly on my couch with a glass of bloodwine in her hand. With her brown honeyed locks thrown over her shoulder seductively and her green eyes coyly shielded. She responded by slowly moving off the couch and walked up to me. Placing her hand on my chest, she responded in her husky voice all the while rubbing my pec.

" I haven't seen you in quite some time. I wanted to play awhile handsome. Why don't we head to the bedroom and-"

Knocking her hand off me and interrupting her little spiel will be one of the greatest pleasures that I will enjoy in my long life. Snarling at the back of my throat. I grab hers and lift her off the floor slamming her into the nearest wall. The sound of shattering glass was in the back of my mind when I brought my face close to hers.

" I have told everyone in the community, from the high council members to even my own family, that I have found my soulmate." I snarled right in her face. While my hand tightened slowly. " So you entering my home uninvited and insinuating that I would ever cheat on my mate is insulting."

I was growling and snarling nearly with every word. I could see the growing fear in her eyes and I reveled in it. Shoving myself away from her I thrust my hands in my midnight hair. With my back turned to her I missed the calculating look that entered her eyes.

Turning back to her I growled low once more and fear flashed in her eyes again. " Get. Out. Of. My. Home. Mira! I do not wish to ever see you or even scent you in my territory ever again!" And with those words spoken she fled my cabin in a flurry of chanel number five, that I've always secretly hated.

Groaning in frustration and exhaustion. I headed straight for my bedroom and dropped onto my bed. Then I slipped quickly into the land of dreams, that consisted of holding on to my pixie.

Friday morning

Walking into the halls of my school I felt my heart lurch in hope and fear of his reaction. I quickly made my way straight to my office not bothering to take tour around the halls like I usually do.

Sitting down in my chair. I rest my head in my hands and that I didn't mess anything up. Slumping a little bit in my chair, I decided to get started on my paperwork. Pulling out the necessary files I began my work.

*a few hours later*

With my head buried in my work I didn't hear the lad bell ring or the slowly emptying halls. I also failed to notice the two people standing in my doorway until one cleared their throat.

Jerking my head up towards the sound, I nearly snarled at the intruders. Until their identities registered in my mind. Why are the Starlings' here? I thought with quite a bit of confusion. Deciding to voice the question in my mind. I ask them it and their response floors me as well as shocks me speechless.

" Today is Maxwell's eighteenth birthday and we would appreciate it if you would come to our home tonight and discuss a few things concerning him. Of course, you can refuse. But it is pertinent that you know what is going on." Spoke Matthew Starling. While Linda Starling was nodding her head like a bobble head. After a few minutes of complete silence, I decided to break the tense atmosphere.

" Of course. If it concerns one if my students. Then. Aye, I will come over tonight." After confirming the time that I was to be there. They went off to go home to set up everything for the celebration. Leaning back in my chair I run the palms of my hands all over my face and hair.

Grabbing my jacket on the hook by my door I search my pockets for the key to my desk drawers. Once I find it, I unlock my bottom draw and retrieve the gift I got my pixie weeks ago. Putting the gift in my jacket pocket. I shrug it on as I walk out the office door. Taking my nightly tour of the school halls. I try to kill time as much as possible. Which it only takes me thirty minutes of normal walking around.

Heading out the front doors of the school I make the hour long walk to his home.

As I reach their front door and about to knock, I hear a scream of utter terror and pain issuing from my pixie's mouth. I quickly slam open the door and flash over to him. He was laying on the floor of the hallway that lead to the kitchen from the living room.

I saw the triplets stare at me in shock and their foster parents just stare at me in worry. I growl at them to tell me what happened and what is wrong with him. They shakily replied to my angry request.

" He's a sh...."
