The Queen of Stars

Chapter 15

" Ok nope i'm sorry but i cant meet him." Lucia said. She was almost shaking with nerves and was looking around anxiously. There were people staring at us whispering. I have no idea if its still me or because Lucia looks like she's gonna puke. 

I shake my head. " Nuh Lu. You promised!" I said grabbing her hand and attempting to pull her up to the house. She didn't seem to notice my hideous attempt at trying to pull her away from her frozen stop on the pavement. She was staring off into the distance completely oblivious to me trying to move her. 

" Lucia!" I shouted. Her head jerked towards me. " YOUR COMING! Now hurry up." I began to continue up the street towards my God fathers house. I started to walk  down the driveway but quickly turned to see that Lucia was walkings lowly behind me. As she saw where i was going she stopped still. God this girl. 

" This is your god fathers house?" She put huge emphasis on the This. I nodded my head " Beautiful right?" She started cursing under her breath i just laughed at her. " come on Lu." 

I walked up to the door not even bothering to see if Lucia was following me, I knew she was. I didn't even bother knocking i just opened the door and sashayed inside. 

" Uncle Arthur! Im home!" I called into the house. I kew it was his day off work today so he must be here somewhere.

" Stella?" I hear him call. My eyes widen, shoot. I calmed my pulse, taking a few deep breaths. 

" This way." I say. I didn't even look at her. I couldn't risk it.

i walk down the hall and out onto the back porch where my Uncle is sitting in the sun with a pair of sunglasses and a cup of iced tea in his hand. He took a sip as he lazily looked over at us, as soon as he caught Lucia's gaze he spat out all the content in his mouth. 

" Real nice Arthur. Real smooth." Lucia said with a straight face. I couldn't tell how she was feeling at all she was giving me no signs if she was angry or amusement. But i knew for sure that these two knew each other. 

" How do you guys know each other?" I ask. Looking in between my friend and my God father who seemed to be having a staring contest. We sat in uncomfortable silence for a long time... well i stood. 

" What going- " 

" Stella could I please talk to your God father in Private." Lucia growled not taking her eyes off Arthur. What how did she know my name? I tried to ask her but she cut me off again telling me to leave. 

So with a huff, i did. 

Lucia's POV

" How long has it been? What a century?" That smart ass idiot, Arthur asks still not breaking our eye contact. 

" Don't dodge the facts Arthur." I hiss at him. 

" What facts?" He coaxed his head to the side pretending to play the innocent. 

" You have been very very busy the part hundred years, haven't you?" 

" Now whatever do you mean Lucia?" 

" You have her. Here. Close to him." 

" Its not my fault, plus even if her parents didn't send her away she would be here anyway. Wouldn't she. " 

" Why the hell Did Bella and Theo send her away!" I shouted. 

" Because of him. You know they never ever wanted that for her. They wanted her to find her real mate first." 

" he is her real mate you barsted." I wanted to claw his eyes out. " Its not my fault that your petty mate didn't end up choosing you. You know nothing. " 

He didn't reply. Instead he let out a low growl

" Surly you would know that by bring her here, closer to him that you are automatically going against her parents wishes. Does she even know?" 

" No and its going to stay like that." 

" For how long Arthur. Even if i don't say a fucking word. Even though she looks different. He will find out. She belongs to him. " 

" She Isn't a toy Lucia! She belongs to nobody." 

" Bella and Theo are asking for a war if they want to keep her form him.What was the plan anyway?- " 

" To keep Her from him long enough so that she would find her werewolf mate. They would mark and mate and there would be nothing he could do. He would want her happy more than keeping his bed warm." 

" Really you think that? Well think again you naive douche bag. Lycan's with that amount of power can override werewolf bites. Its basic science Rouge." 

" Ouch that hurt." He flash me a grin, i just growled. 

" Nope, you don't get to pull that shit on me Arthur." 

" Aw but i did. Don't you remember a century ago? Me, you and a long morning of love making?" He waggled his eyebrows and i squirmed under his gaze. 

" Thats was before you betray me and went fucking rouge. How did you get the gig of her god father anyway?" 

" Me and Bella are great friends." 

" What about Theo?" 

" Well he thought i was gonna sleep with her and steal her form him. Not that blonds are my type. I prefer Brunetts." He smirked and i snorted. 

" Seriously?" 

" what!" 

" You haven't changed a bit." 

" Well you have a bit more attitude to you now. but then again I always loved that about you." 

I didn't reply instead i took my eyes away from his and turned them to the view. Maybe it was to stop me from eye raping him or i was just sick of looking at his face. 

" Look Lucia." I didn't turn around. " I know you and I have been through a lot. But lets make a deal. I will give her... more freedom if you just keep quiet." 

" How do you know ill take this deal. It only benefits Stella, not me." 

"Cause she's your friend and you would do anything for your friends. Thats another thing i loved about you." 

I stood there for a while just thinking. 

" Fine. But i want something else."
