Chapter 6

((Sorry it took so long guys, thanks for your patience!!! This chapter has important information in it, but at the same time it's what I refer to as a 'filler' chapter... Anywho, vote, comment, fan! Ya'll are wonderful!))

The following day Claudia and Christian were found in his study. They didn't call for Eliza, as they didn't want to worry her about what they were going to be talking about. Claudia paced about the study looking over the ancient artifacts from Christian's life.

-Claudia's POV-

I paced about, trying to get my thoughts together. Christian sat in his important looking chair waiting for me to say what I came here to say. Finally the silence seemed to be deafening and I just wanted to come out and say it. "Christian," I carefully began the conversation, like I was walking in a room full of mouse traps. "When you were thought to be dead, Alex went through a terrible time. She had lost her husband, and she her children. I couldn't even awaken her out of the deep depression she had gone into. I don't know how it happened, but she allowed herself to be found out by the humans, and they began using her for her for their own purposes. Luckily for her they didn't bring any harm to her, she just wasn't free any more. But when you were gone, she was almost soulless, and she hated life. The Ancient Kings found out that the humans had essentially found out and they came for her. I don't know when the Kings found out, but something tells me they were biding their time. The Ancient Kings have placed her in the endless sleep, and she cannot reawaken without three parts of blood." Claudia said and then looked at Christian. Christian looked like he was about to faint.

"Christian, the three parts include one of the Ancient Kings, Your blood, and the blood of a virgin. Two of the three are covered; the third one is going to be difficult." Claudia said chewing on her lower lip. "Don't worry; finding a virgin shouldn't be too hard." He said shrugging. "Christian, I am the virgin." I hissed. "It's the Kings blood that's going to be the problem." I said sitting down. "Wait you're a-?" He asked holding back a laugh. "It's not funny!" I huffed crossing my arms over my chest like a pouting two year old. "Claudia, you're what past seven hundred and you're still a...you know." He said in a hushed whisper. "Yes!" I hissed. "There's nothing wrong with not being a whore." I snarled. The subject was very touchy to me. Any time I told someone, that I had never been with a man in that setting I was mocked.

I allowed myself several minutes before speaking to let my anger subside. I didn't want to risk getting so angry at Christian, that he may not help me free my sister. I sighed and then made eye contact with him. "I know that the task which I am asking is a difficult one and would require the," I looked around before leaning forward and as quiet as I could I continued. "Assassination of an Ancient King." I said and leaned back in the chair. "I don't see any other way." I finished.

-Christians POV-

When Claudia asked to speak with me, I assumed the worst. She'd lost everyone dear to her. I was prepared for her to tell me that Alexandria had killed herself, or even I was left with the slightest hope that Claudia would be bringing Alex with her. So I'll admit that I wasn't even prepared mentally for what she was going to tell me. I knew she was nervous about something, I could tell by the way she was pacing back and forth, she looked like she was about to have a heart attack. She then opened her mouth and stated that Alexandria was still technically alive I lost it, and I thought I was going to throw-up, or faint, or both. I felt sick and I couldn't control my body hardly. Alexandria was alive. I hadn't seen her in over six hundred years. My body, heart, and soul (if I had one) ached for her. I wanted to hold her body against mine and I wanted to tangle my fingers in her curls, and I wanted to feel her electrifying kiss send chills through my body.

As soon as I began fantasizing about Alexandria, Claudia's voice broke through my thoughts. I mentally glared at her for interrupting my fantasy but then the annoyance subsided within moments. She was talking about the way that we would have to free Alexandria from her endless slumber. I was willing to do anything to free my wife. What about Eliza? Are you just going to use her and then throw her away? My conscious asked timidly. How could I do this to poor Eliza? Not even twenty four hours ago we had spent a beautiful hour together; she had fully given herself to me without any questions. My shame turned to humor as I heard about the three types of blood that would be required to reawaken someone from the slumber. I had no idea that Claudia still had never been with a man in an intimate setting before. A chuckle rose from my lips and I was tempted to go into a fit of laughter, but restrained myself when I saw the look on her face. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh, I just expected a different story." I said immediately feeling guilty for what I had said. Claudia shook her head, her curls spilling over her shoulder.

-Eliza's POV-

When I woke, I was extremely sore every muscle in my body screamed in agony. I sighed and painfully showered, groomed, and dressed. I wanted to go down to the wolves and see how they were doing, with the new addition to the green house. What was the pet's name? Oh yes, Faren. Faren was absolutely darling and so full of life. It took me three times longer to make it down to the green house than it normally did. I still felt loopy from spending an hour with Christian...I still hated myself. I kept to myself not acknowledging the servants who were making themselves busy, cleaning, cooking, and the like throughout the house hold. I was completely relieved when I finally reached the outdoors, the fresh air, and sun hit me like a thousand flower petals. It was extremely pleasurable and it made me happy to be out of the manor.

I made my way towards the green house; the wolves were still housed there. I just couldn't trust anyone who might harm them at nights. Nothing and I mean nothing could get into the green house at night. The glass was bullet proofed and the metals were all iron. The wolves evening house was quite invincible. I smiled to myself while walking into the greenhouse. I was slightly shocked that no wolves came to greet me as they usually did, and then I heard it. The sounds of fighting animals was unmistakable. I rushed to the center of the greenhouse to find my alpha and Faren biting and clawing at each other like there was no tomorrow. This angered me immediately. "THAT'S ENOUGH!" I snarled, both wolves whimpered and backed away from me as I stepped towards them, their tails between their legs, and their bodies lowered towards the ground. They looked like I was going to beat them senseless. The fury and anger rolled off me in heavy waves. "You!" I snarled pointing at Faren, "are a guest in this house and will act as such! And you!" I hissed turning my gaze to my alpha, "are the Alpha and leader of your pack and you will ACT AS SUCH!" I screamed the last part. "You are not flea-bitten mutts! You are wolves and are held to higher standards! You are the guardians to the vampires and you need to act as such!" I shouted, my voice faltering because I never screamed or shouted and my voice wasn't used to it. I was now very much out of breath and I sighed. I walked back towards the green house doors the wolves following behind me. "Not today." I said sighing. I didn't want to risk these two getting in a fight again. "Faren!" I snapped, to which Faren came to me immediately. "Inside." I said roughly grabbing the wolf's collar and dragging him inside with me.
