love that binds me

Chapter 32

(A/N. Hey!! so chapter 33 is here finally. I have good and bad news. Bad news: About 3-5 chapters left.:'( good news: sequal and run-off short story underway.Yay!)

It wasn't long before we could see expensive limousines, cars and carriages making there way up the mountain. Tali gossiped endlessly about who she thought would be riding in what.

We all threw on fluffy robes and went to meet them at the entrance.

Ariel, the only one of us all, strutted out in just her silver nighty. It only made me tighten my robe not wanting to feel exposed.

First was the carriage. Like from an old fairy tale two girls emerged.

The first one with dark brown almost black hair, the other with black hair. They seemed to be sisters. The first one being the oldest.

"Amarion! Courtesy!" Ariel ran to hug them.

They too seemed embarrassed by her attire.

Ariel's cousins came and greeted Tali first.

"I remember you! Your the ginger that swept my cousin off his feet." Amarion, the oldest hugged Tali.

Tali beemed as if she won some great prize. An urge to claim him as mine burned strong in my gut.

I gritted my teeth until they ached. I was conflicted. i didn't want anyone to know yet it hurt to think people assumed Tali was his.

Three familiar girls stepped from a white limo. Jewels hugged Tali, flanking her were Candy and sasha.

"Look at our future queen. Prettier than ever!" Jewels said sweetly. Then looked at me with discust.

"Oh, Jothi! Your chefs must be amazing, looks like you gained some pounds." She smiled bitterly.

"They are and your stylist must be amazing ! I didn't know you could put extensions on top of a bald patch!" i mimicked her sickly sweet tone.

Two points jothi. Zero Jewels.

Amarion and Courtesy laughed taking notice of me.

"Good one." Courtesy snickered.

Next was a very nice car that revealed a older looking girl-vampire about early twenties. Then again there ages could be far older than i expect.

Her hair was all white and pin straight neatly cut short. I assumed her to be Victoria.

"Now that were all here. Lets get this party started!" Ariel announced.

What vampires do for sleep overs i didn't realize were....normal. We talked and laughed and did make overs in just the first few hours.

Mainly everyone was interested in Tali. Was i jealous ? Not really attention wise, but how easily it was for her to make friends. I craved some female companion times almost every day.

Amber was great, sure. Yet she was also busy with her job and fashion trends to actually hang out. It made me miss my bestfriend even more.

I still wonder where he is sometimes. If he's free. I shook my head at the ridiculous thought. If Alec was free he'd be looking for me, right?

Alecsander (POV)

"The ball is during vampire night. We get in, get his mate and get out." Terrence pulled out a layout of the castle and placed it for everyone to see.

"Group A goes in as guests. All of you should be wearing masks and contacts. We can't risk them figuring out what you are." He continued.

Layla fidgeted uneasily beside me. It must have been hard for her to step down and let her ex run things.
