Lyra's POV

I finally got out of the hospital, after what felt like forever. According to Cole, it was only 2 days, but none the less - I was bored. Cole has been very kind to me these past few days, and I honestly couldn't be happier. I feel more complete than I ever have. But that all stops as soon as these words leave his mouth.
"I live in England."
England?! Seriously world?! Why? I have to play it off like I'm cool with it.
"Really, wow. That's cool. Why are you in America then?"
He pauses. I can tell he's hiding something.
"Business trip."
"I have to return tomorrow..."
"Oh. I see."
"But Lyra?"
He scratches his head.
"I was thinking, no. I was hoping you'd like to accompany me?"
"I don't have money or a passport..."
"I can pay. And I can get you one."
"How? Those can take weeks?"
"One could say I'm vey...influential."
"What does that mean?"
"It means...you'll see when we get to England."

A day later I'm sitting here, on a plane. I'm escaping my old life with someone who makes me feel needed and happy. Is it bad that I'm going with someone I've only known for 3 days? Probably. Do I care? Not one bit. I bite back a smile as we take off. I'm not even nervous to be on a plane. Probably because of Cole. He makes me feel safe just by looking at him. But I still feel like something is missing...I just need to figure out what. Or maybe even who.

Cole's POV

I turn to look at the beautiful girl next to me. Too bad she'll probably leave me once she knows the real me. A werewolf king. A creature of nightmare. A person who kills with no remorse. A person who's stuck at war with a vampire king. That's the real reason why I came to America. I needed to get comrades in the up coming war. Vampires and werewolves have been at war for as long as anyone can remember. I push the thought out of my head.
She can't not accept me...right? We're mates. She couldn't, no she wouldn't. She has to feel this need to. She has to. If she doesn't, I don't know what I'll do. Every time I look at her I want to hug her. Try and help her. She's hurting, I can feel it through the Mate bond. But she won't tell me, at least not till I stop lying. Goddess, I hate lying to her. It pained me to even tell a little white lie about me being in America for a business trip. That's technically what I was doing, but I'm still hiding half the truth. She's knows that I'm hiding something and it's confusing her.
I look back to her. She's fallen asleep and has snuggled up close to me. My wolf purrs at this, she wants to be close to us.
I think back to when I first saw her. She was getting dragged into an alley way. 3 girls were hurting what was mine. They were human, yes, but I lost it. I remember the light leaving their eyes as I gripped their necks, suffocating them. I went after the leader first. My mates thoughts called her Barbie. Isn't that child's doll - Barbie - supposed to be nice? I guess not.

Le Nameless Character Because I'm Evil

I look around the crowded area. I watch as the werewolf king exits the plane. He turns around and I see the most beautiful woman ever. Rich brown eyes and silky brown hair. She's perfect in every way. I feel myself wanting to go to her. The pull is too strong, so I retreat further into the shadows. Where is she from? Why is she with that...that mutt?
I breath in, deeply. Human. My other half snarls in my mind. He wants his mate just as bad as I do, even if she is human. And I will have her, even if I die trying.
I hone in on my hearing sense, blocking everything else out.
"Lyra?"
"Hm? What?"
The were king chuckles he's flirting with my mate.
"You ok, Lyly?"
She laughs.
"Lyly? What kind of name is that?"
"You're new name, mate."
"Mate?"
The 'great' wolf stutters.
"Y-yeah? You know, like friend?"
She smiles and a crushing reality seeps into my mind. Mate. My mate is also mates to-to HIM?!
Oh Goddess! What cruel trick is this? Is she trying to bring us closer together? I won't let this pathetic human stop me from this war. The vampires need to prove their strength, even if it means I lose my mate. I am the king after all.
"Your Majesty?"
"Yes, Jaxon?"
"The girl. We could use her to our advantage."
I smirk. Of course. She can be mine still. I just have to get through the Werewolf King. And no job is too hard for me Eros Xander RexVampir.
The Vampire King.
