Mates

Prologue

"Lexa..." i heard a beautiful voice calling my name waking me up in my slumber. I opened my eyes and saw the blue sky shining down upon me, i can smell the fresh mountain air and felt the soft petals underneath me. I sighed in contentment then i heard that beautiful calming voice again calling me "Lexa..." i stood up and tried to trace where the voice is coming from. I saw big beautiful trees around the bed of flowers that i layed. This place is enchanting and breath taking. "lexa..." there it is again. I followed the pathway and moved deep in the forest. Then suddenly a white blinding light flashed right in front of me. I covered my eyes and automatically on a defensive stance, i drew out my swords ready to pounce anyone who'll try to attack me. My sight adjusted slowly to the light then i saw a beautiful woman sitting on the top of a big rock, she's like a goddess with a long blonde wavy hair that dance in the air, she's wearing a white flowing gown dripping down her shoulders and it seems the moon acknowledges her beauty by shinning brightly at her. I may not see her face clearly from the distance but she outshines everything around her already. "Lexa..." she said half whispered while looking down at me. My heart skip a beat when she said those three words "I love you..." then she's slowly fading."NO WAIT PLEASE WHO ARE YOU?" I asked her trying to stop her from disappearing but just like that she disappeared on thin air.
"Noooooo!!! NOOOOOOO!!!"

"you're majesty.. Please wake up.. You're highness.."

"Nooooooo" i immediately sat down. I saw my hand maidens shocked faces when i woke up. I can feel the tears pouring. I rubbed my forehead and tried to calm myself down. "EVERYBODY OUT NOW!" I ordered my servants which they immediately complied. I didn't know why i was so affected by that girl disappearing. It just felt so real...
Ever since then i was hunted by the same girl over and over again and it will always end up of her disappearing and me waking up. I consulted Titus our flame keeper and oricle to interpret my dreams and he said my soul mate will be born. Like hell i care i don't want a fucking soulmate i want my people to be safe and my kingdom to be prosperous. I lived and survived for how many centuries and became a great ruler to my people. Since i took over, the kingdom lived in harmony, different species whether from werewolves to even the witches who lived above the sky bowed down to my power, i made this kingdom rich and powerful and i will protect it with my life. And besides I'm already contented with Costia my lover daughter of luna the leader of water Clan.

I sat on my throne listening to the leaders of each clan reporting the progress of their assigned tasks. We usually gather once a year so that the councils can report to me the economy of the kingdom and advice solutions if problem may occur. All the leaders of each species belonged to my council and they are all loyal to me well except for the ice queen who always questioned my position.

The meeting finally ended and when i was about to dismiss everyone the sky king announces a news that stopped my heart from beating. "You're highness and my fellow councils i would like to invite you all to join the sky kingdom's celebration, my Queen will finally born our first child." everyone in the room congratulated him and was happy to know the news but i was stuck in my place wondering why would my heart skip a beat for that. I also saw Titus stuck in his place and looked at me. I stood up and walk towards the sky king helding my hands up to shake his hands. "congratulations Edward you're finally a father.." i said to him. He bowed and said with teary eyes "Thank you my Queen." i smiled then said "we will surely be there to greet the sky child heir." "Then it would be an honor to have you in the sky kingdom my Queen." i pat his shoulders before he bowed and exited the room. All the leaders of the clans bowed before heading home til only me and Titus was left inside the throne room then dead silence took over till i broke it off" tell me Titus.. Is the child of the sky king my mate? " i heard his heels walking towards me then he said" yes your majesty the sky queen will bore a child with hair that match the color of the sun, eyes that reflects the sky and skin that is white as the winter snow, she will be the fairest maiden that could walk here on earth and was destined to give you more power or... Destruction... "
" then i just have to kill her if i have to. "i answered."
" your majesty - "
"i don't wanna hear it Titus!" i cut him off and look at him dead in the eye. He bowed his head in submission. "you are dismissed.."
"As you wish your majesty.." then he exited the room. I sighed heavily and walked towards my throne and sat. I rubbed my temples and looked up the ceiling. The Gods must hate me that much for giving me this kind of fate. For maybe the darkness is where I belong.. After all I'm the queen of all who were damned.
