It felt like I was suffocating.

I hadn't left the hospital since the doctor said it was alright for me to come in.

Xerxes and I agreed that we should let Maya choose who she wants, and that she should stay here at his pack hospital since she's more werewolf than vampire.

Lucy and Giovanni came to check on her every day, usually in the morning and at night. Lucy would bring me a blood bag so I didn't 'die of starvation before Maya could wake up' her words, not mine.

I took them gratefully. Lucy was another kind soul, just like Kyl'maya.

I have stubble on my face from not shaving but that can wait until I get to look into Maya's eyes again.

I've known her, her entire life. As creepy as that may be. But can you blame me?

My beloved killed herself because she didn't want to be with me. Then I get a second chance, and know who's it's going to be.

When Maya was first born I talked to her father and explained everything to him. How she was meant to be my beloved, because of his ancestor Leilani.

He agreed that it would benefit her so he said he would allow, not that he really had a choice.

When she was first born I couldn't take my eyes off her. I don't know what it was, but her light green-brown eyes sparkles with so much adoration I fell in love before I even knew it.

I couldn't help myself from visiting her every now and again. Then the Moon Goddess told me to stop, I was confused and upset but I had no other choice but to agree.

I did have business to handle as well in the Cosmos so I attended to that even though it hurt not being able to see her.

In the midst of the pain I painted memories of her. It was so weird, I didn't know what was going on.

I was confused as to why I was so obsessed with her when she was even old enough for me to do anything with.

I didn't understand it at all.

Then I figured out what it was. Me not having a beloved for so long had killed me inside.

I was a King without a Queen, it was like being a butterfly without wings.

Then I got my Queen.

And that feeling I felt for her, was love. For the first time in a thousand years I had felt genuine happiness- and it was just from being around her.

When Lucas told me Xerxes Kaldon was her mate I was furious. I immediately thought it was because of a love potion or spell or anything expect for what it actually was.

It turned out, it was the Moon Goddess. She didn't do it on purpose, at least that's what she said but knowing her she probably did.

Not to be funny, but to test the three of us.
