Roles Reversed

Chapter 1: What started it all

Ariella's POV

I snap my eyes open from a strange feeling. I let my eyes wander to find my best friend the only person I trust most in the world stroking her hands through my hair.

I roll my eyes. I've always know she's had a crush on me for a very long time and she makes it quiet clear as you can see. As much as I love my best friend I can never bring myself to let us be more than friends. After all I'm the ruthless queen of this Empire and have acquired more than a few enemies. Lord knows if anything happened to her I would never forgive myself, plus she deserves so much better.

So lost in thought I didn't notice a pair of beautiful stormy gray eyes staring up at me. She suddenly bites my neck so hard I yelp. And my dark brown eyes lock with hers.

A devilish smirk grows on her face as I stare at her as I feel her hands grabbing at me. Before i roughly push her off me.

"What the hell was that." I scream at her

"Morning to you to gorgeous." She says while winking.

I get ready to yell at her again as she's standing up.

A slight blush rises to my cheeks as I realize

"Crystal, why aren't you wearing any clothes." I say while covering my eyes.

She giggles as she pushes her body up against mine.

"Awww is my little Ari blushing." She says while pinching my cheek.

I slowly become more flustered as I can feel every curve of her body against mine.

I growl a dark growl because she's starting to turn me on, most people would have been pissing their pants, but no crystal just laughs and walks away while throwing on  a t-shirt.

I take my hands off my eyes and sigh in relief to see that she is now fully clothed.

" Can you please stop waking me up like this."

"But it's so much fun teasing you." She says.

I give her a annoyed look before I walk to the mirror.

I look over my appearance, I'm wearing an over sized t shirt as pj's while my unruly mess of curls is piled high on my head in a bun. I take in my extremely curvy figure as I'm not skinny by any stretch of the imagination. And I look at my face, early morning rays reflecting  off of my brown skin. I look at my plump pouty lips and big doe brown eyes. At first glance you'd think I was a cute doll that couldn't hurt a fly. They couldn't be far from the truth. I've killed countless countries over things such as merely being annoyed or anyone who looked at me the wrong way will be dead within seconds. I'm not know as the demon queen for nothing.

I feel arms wrap around me. And I relax knowing it's crystal.  You see Crystal and I have each other's marks. But their not the mate marks.  The mark we have are typically used by mates who aren't ready for the mate bond yet so they just form a strong bond by biting each other's wrists instead of neck.

My wolf agreed to doing this because it's not the mate bond and my wolf adores crystals wolf . My wolf really wants to meet her mate but she's so happy with Crystal sometimes she forgets she has a mate out there.

"I wish everyone can see this side of you my Ari, the cute little flustered queen that deep down is the sweetest." Crystal says and I can feel her hot breath on my neck.

I can feel myself melting into her hold, oh how badly I want to give into these desires.

I instantly put on my cold demeanor," that can never happen." I say in a voice completely devoid of any emotion.

She removes her hand from waist and walks in front of me, "don't do that facade with me, you know I can see through it." She says looking deeply in my eyes.

Looking into her eyes I see pure love and admiration and my heart lurches. Because though I do want my mate, I wish she was my mate so bad sometimes.

I may have been lying earlier saying the only reason why I'm not with her is to protect her. It's because. I'm already so in love with her I don't know what I'd do when she finds her mate, let alone if we actually started dating. And if I found my mate I know she'd be a wreck. We'd ultimately destroy each other.

I realize I got lost in those cloudy gray eyes of hers. And I smile. I couldn't imagine life without her.

All of a sudden every thing  goes black, sometimes I have these panic attacks/ daydreams out of nowhere.

I started breathing heavily not being able to see . I calm my breathing and I can slowly start to see again. I sigh in relief until I realize Crystals gone. I start to panic. I mind link her no answer. I mind link everyone and people say they haven't heard from her. I suddenly start shaking.
"They took her I growl." My thoughts slowly become deluded with thoughts of my enemies kidnapping her.

I feel my eyes become red all I can see is red. I can feel my claws elongate. My wolf is in a frenzy and angry thinking her bond has been taken.

My wolf slowly starts to take control. I start to loose myself to the anger.

All of a sudden I feel a soft pair of lips on mine.
And I'm snapped back into reality. I open my eyes wide to see Crystal right in front of me kissing me. My wolf literally tackles crystals wolf in our mind space and rubs against her. My wolf purrs as she rubs against Crystals wolf.

Crystal slowly pulls her lips away from mine. And a tear comes down my face soon followed by a sob.

"I-i had a panic attack and you were g-gone." And I couldn't finish explaining because my words were soon swallowed up by another sob.

She pulls me into a tight hug while using her thumb to draw circles on my cheek.

"Shhhh, my little ari, my beautiful strong queen, don't cry my love I'm right here." She coos into my ear.

I let out another sob as a let my tears soak her shirt.

I look up at her with my big brown doe eyes," please don't ever leave me." I beg in a whisper.

She chuckles,"not even death can stop me from being with you, I promise." She says.

Crystal POV
I watch as my little queen crys in my arms all because she's scared of losing me. I can't bear seeing her hurt. My queen is a lot more powerful than you'd think.

But seeing her that angry was scary, I'm sure the whole state felt that extremely dark aura. Sometimes I think she really is the demon queen because of her immense power.

I know she'll always be there to protect me but I can't help but think what will happen when I'm gone.

Arielle's POV
I feel soft toned arms wrapped around me and and my head lying in something soft. I realize my head is sandwiched between Crystals breasts and my legs are tangled with hers.

I purr at this feeling. I feel light. Maybe I'll change my cold demeanor after all. If the world is able to make someone like Crystal maybe it's worth saving.

And that night as I was drifting to sleep I decided upon two things.

1. I'd become a better and sweeter person

And

2. I don't need a mate as long as I have Crystal.
