Mates

Chapter 9

Anya

I look at the princess who still seemed daze. She can't even stop looking at the Goddess who is still talking to the Queen and Titus. We went back at the palace and Lexa immediately ordered an emergency meeting at the battle room. I moved towards Victoria nudge her arm and offered her a drink. "stop staring you're gonna creep her out.."i said jokingly. She rolled her eyes and drank the wine i handed." I'm not staring.. "she defended herself." right... "i answered sarcastically." so.. Where will you go next after here? "i asked casually." none of your business " she said. I rolled my eyes."look kid I also considered you as my little sister and i could feel what Lexa felt when you disappeared out of the blue.. We get that you're hurt in fact i literally knew how it felt when you lose the only person who can give you life in this dark world.. its like you're alive but dead inside..Just dont shut everyone in your life especially your sister.. I know she's cold and heartless but deep down i know she's worried about you.. Lady Nicolai..." " don't.. Don't speak about her... " she cut me off with sadness in her voice. I sighed then continued" very well.. Just give us a heads up when you leave.. " i tapped her shoulders then joined the Queen. I remember how in love they were. Lady Nicolai who always wear a smile and the most kind hearted vampire. She died defending the orphanage when the king ordered to slaughter all weaklings. Princess Victoria was too late when she got there thats why she blamed herself not able to stop her own father and also failed to save her own mate. I look at the Goddess who still busy talking to the oracle. Its true physically Akasha could have anyone her beauty is ethereal but even though she possessed that kind of beauty she could never replace Nicolai in the princess heart. If i were given a chance to have another mate i would surely protect her and love her unconditionally never letting her go even if the world ends and even if it causes my life. I hope Victoria will not regret her decision.

Suddenly we heard commotions outside then loud banging. We immediately positioned ourselves in front of the Queen. Akasha remained in her seat. I was shocked when Princess Victoria moved infront of the Goddess in a protective stance. I smirked at the thought. Then the double doors cracked and vampire soldiers was thrown on the pavements making them unconscious. Then the Lycans appeared snarling at us. "WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS!!" the Queen shouted but the Lycans continued to move forward. I readied myself for battle. The Lycans was about to pounced at us when we heard a dragging of chair then all of the sudden the Goddess was now levitating infront of us making the Lycans freezed into place "yataghayarun (change)". The Lycans changed into their human form kneeling in front of the Goddess. "'ant khantani (you betrayed me..)" Akasha said she landed smoothly on the ground and moved towards the Lycans" lays ladayna khiarun. 'akhawatuk wa'akhik hadaduu biqatlina jmyeana ..(We don't have a choice. Your sisters and brother threatened to kill us all..) " The leader of the Lycan answered the one they called Lincoln." Titus what are they saying? " I heard Victoria asked the oracle." The Lycans betrayed the Goddess instead of protecting her they end up helping the enemies to defeat her.. Thats why they look like monsters. For she cursed them to walk in the night." the Oracle said. " 'ana khalaqtuk! (I created you!) " the Goddess shouted angrily making the clouds rumble and the ground shake. The Lycans bowed their heads submitting to the Goddess, they really showed fear when they are the most feared ones in the underworld. "laqad jaealatuna tabdu mithl alwuhush. (You made us look like monsters)" Lincoln spat with venom on his voice. The Goddess walked towards him held his chin up and said. "alan min hu hdha alkhata? (Now who's fault is that?)" He looked away and looked down on the ground in shame. "nzrana li'ana ladayk sydana jdydana fi hadha alealam , fala takarur alkhata nafsih kama faealat min qibal wa'illa fasiazil 'anwaeik balkaml mn hdha alealam. fahamtk?! (Since in this world you have a new master don't repeat the same mistake as you did before or else I'll completely wipe your species out of this world. Got it?!) " she commanded. The Lycans said in unison" nem aliha (Yes Goddess) " " 'akhraj min eayni (Get out of my sight!) " the Goddess commanded making the clouds rumble and the pavement crack. The Lycans immediately disappeared. I saw how she clenched her hands trying to control her anger. I saw how she harshly catch her breath. I look at Victoria and saw concern passing in her eyes. The Goddess faced us and frustratedly brushed her hair away from her face. She looked broken and hurt "efu (excuse me).."she said half whispered then disappeared. I saw Victoria about to moved towards the Goddess but she was too late." What was that Titus?" the Queen asked. The oracle sighed and said" the Goddess was strong but not strong enough to not feel hurt.. The only family she had betrayed her even the creatures she created with love.." " Love really is weakness " i commented. Victoria looked down and seemed in thought." Princess Victoria the Goddess accepted your rejection you are now free to go.. Thank you for your assistance.
"Titus said drawing Victoria's attention." She could stay Titus as long as she want"The Queen interjected. "Besides you still have to meet my Queen.." Victoria smiled and nod at her sister. This is one of a heck of reunion. What are the odds.
