Mates

Chapter 11

Akasha

I walked around the castle's garden and found a lake. I sat on the edge of the lake feeling the cold water beneath my feet. I shut my eyes and inhaled deeply. I sensed all the creatures around me tracking their every movement. From the squirrel who peacefully ate his acorn to the birds flying up high enjoying the sun. Then i felt a powerful presence near me. I smiled cause i knew already who it was. I opened my eyes and saw a magnificent creature staring at me. I reach his head and caressed it softly. "kayf halik sidiyq qadim? (How are you old friend?)" i said.
"'ana bikhayr alihata. 'anah li'amr jayid haqanaan liruyatik ..(I'm fine goddess. It is really good to see you..)" the dragon answered.
"min aljayd 'an 'arak aydana. amul 'an taeamilak almalikat jydana. 'astatie 'an 'araa hakimk yastahiqu wala'ak.(It's good to see you too. I hope the Queen treats you well. I could see your ruler deserve your loyalty.)" i said." 'iinaha haqana munasabatan lilearsh. nahn sueada' likhidmatiha.(She is indeed suited for the throne. We are happy to serve her.) " he said." 'ana saeid(I'm glad) " i said and kissed his crown. He bowed then flew away. I laid down on the grass taking in the peacefulness and the beauty of the skies. How i longed to this day, to be able to walk again in the sun. But pain struck my heart when i recalled my brother and sisters.. Then the Lycans and lastly the most beautiful creature i laid my eyes upon with a brown beautiful almond eyes, prominent cheek bones, lips that I'm dying to  claim and soft straight hair that i want to caress all night but she rejected me as her mate. I thought she was my hope to a new beginning but i was wrong cause her heart was already taken. I saw a glimpse of her in her mind. She was indeed beautiful inside and out no wonder she fell deeply madly in love with her.. I am no match for that. And i could never replace her. I felt my depression is showing as the grass and plants around me are slowly dying. I immediately diverted my thoughts and use that energy to revive them again. I sighed heavily. "Ahm.. Hello.. I'm Clark.." i turned around to that soft voice and saw a beautiful blue eyed blonde girl. She was stunning and i immediately sense the sun with her. She must be the Queen's mate how lovely they really are suitable for one another. But wait i could understand her.." aismi eakasha (My name is Akasha)" i said waiting if she could understand me also then she smiled and replied "nice to meet you Akasha.." she extended her arms and i was confused i look at her hand and back to her face. "oh your not from here are you?" she said and  i shake my head. She smiled and pulled my hand enclosing it to her "this is how we greet here. So.. Ahm do you mind if i sit with you?" "ealaa al'iitlaq (not at all)" i replied. "thank you.." she said then she sat on the grass next to me releasing a heavy sigh. "I don't know why is this happening to me. I have a peaceful life back at home.. Things are a little too complicated now. I have a mate who is so damn gorgeous who by the way already married to someone now. She was everything i ever wanted and dreamed of but.. She lied to me.. They all lied to me.. I felt really betrayed you know.. " she opened up suddenly then released an heavy sigh." I'm sorry if i bombared you with negativities you might think I'm a crazy stranger.. "she said then giggled." but i just need someone to listen to me.. Without defending her.." she continued." la tuqliq 'ana klu al'adhnin (Don't worry I'm all ears). "i said then smiled. She returned the smile then suddenly moved closer towards me i immediately moved back. I was startled with her sudden movements." oopsss sorry but you have an amazing eyes.. No you are beautiful.. Super beautiful.. " she said. I blushed at her compliment. "shukraan lak .. 'ant rayie jiddaan(Thank you.. You are gorgeous too)" i said then she blushed. "you think so? My mate is way prettier than me. I don't know how to keep her on the leash though.." then we laughed. Looks like I'm not alone after all.

TITUS

We were walking towards the field to check on the warriors and currently discussing defense strategies. When i saw something that stopped me from walking. The Queen and the others was startled from my sudden stop. "What the hell old man!!!?" Princess Victoria shouted at me angrily. But my attention was still stuck with the scene before me. "oh my goddess.."i half whispered. Then they followed my gaze that made their jaw drop." well.. Who would have thought your mate and your ex mate will get along... "the commander said teasingly while looking at the Queen and the princess back and forth. I was still stuck at my place amaze on the scene maybe they are too. The sky princess and the goddess were talking and laughing while animals surround them. They looked so serene. "maybe they'll end up liking each other" the commander again commented jokingly but made both the Queen and the Princess growled at her angrily. She raised her hand in surrender. "I'm kidding..." she said. "well its not funny!"princess Victoria said angrily." why do you care anyway you rejected her"Anya said pushing her buttons more. I heard the princess growled. "Don't piss her off Anya you know what she could do." the Queen warned her commander. "I'm just saying the truth." Anya said then smirked. I could see the Princess knines slowly coming out. Oh no this is not good. But before the Princess could pounce at the commander we heard someone yelled. "OH MY GOD CLARK WHAT DID YOU DO?!?! WHO'S THIS?! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING YOUNG LADY!!?" We turned to the commotion and saw a brunette wearing a high rank sky clothing. The animals began to scatter around. Then the sky princess and the Goddess laugh at the brunette. We heard the sky princess say" Relax Raven.. "" HOW CAN I RELAX WHEN YOU'RE DRUNK! IN THE BROAD DAY LIGHT!!" The brunette said angrily. Wait what? They're drunk? I hurriedly went to them."Oh shit you're in big trouble now.." the girl said. "hi there oracle care to join us?" the sky princess said and they giggled. I look at the bottle she's holding and almost smack my head. How did she get a hold of a bottle of moonshine. That drink could get anyone drunk in seconds and they almost finished the whole bottle. I could sense powerful presence at my back and i almost shiver. "I think that's enough already princess..the Queen would not be pleased to see you like this.." i said trying to signal her that her mate is coming but it seems she didn't understand "oh you're such a fun kill.. You both are.. Right Akasha?" she said while putting her right arm around the Goddess shoulder.  "Exactly come join us Titus.." my jaw dropped as I heard the Goddess spoked our language. Even the others were surprised especially Princess Victoria i heard her gasp. "Wait..how..how did you learn our language?" i asked her. Then Clark and the Godddess both giggled. "i taught her" Clark proudly said. "And you learned it just now?" i asked. "yes of course your language is easy.." Akasha said. "thanks to Clark." then they giggled again. Their cheeks are now red due to alcohol. "Ow! You're here.." the Princess said looking over my shoulder. Then she pointed at the Queen. "She's the one I'm talking about." she said to Akasha half-whispered. "ohh that's her.." Akasha responded. "Her?" the Queen commented with greeted teeth. "oh my God I'm sorry your grace I'm sure Clark doesn't mean to be disrespectful" Raven said while bowing not meeting anyone's eyes. But i heard the commander whispered "Cynthia?" The girl slowly rised from bowing revealing her beautiful face. We were all surprised. I recognize her. "It couldn't be..." i whispered. I look at the commander pain reflected in her face, love and recognition. The Queen and the Princess was also stuck in place. "I'm sorry but my names Raven.." the girl said innocently. "they look like they've seen a Ghost Akasha.." Clark said laughing. "Maybe because Raven is the reincarnation of Cynthia in this time.." Akasha said while sipping on the bottle. "She's what?" Clark showed confusion. "That can't be.." i said in shocked. "It's possible.. Souls who is still not satisfied in their previous lives will be reincarnated that's how it works.." the Goddess explained making us all silent. "I'm a what?!" Raven shouted suddenly. "you used to be my mate.." Anya said with pain in her voice. She walked closer to Raven but the girl stepped back. "I'm sorry but.. I can't remember anything about my past life... " i could see panic in her eyes. The commander kept on stepping forward making the girl uneasy. "Commander don't push it.." i warned her but it was too late cause the girl immediately disappeared. "no wait!" Anya said. She frustratedly pulled her hair. "Anya.." the Queen draw her attention. She looked vulnerable tears run down her face. "She doesn't want me.." she said half-whispered. "don't be ridiculous.. You scared the poor girl, she just found out you're her mate give her time.." Akasha said then she hiccup Clark laughed at her."Akasha you're drunk.." "Okay that's it." Princess Victoria grabbed the bottle from the Goddess hand then threw it in the lake. She pulled her away from Clark and carried her like she weighted nothing. "hey no fair! I found her first!" Clark whined. But the Queen carried her already in bridal style. She protested but i know she's no match for the Queen especially when she's pissed off. They teleported leaving me and the commander. "I'm sorry Titus but i have to do something.." then the commander disappeared. I sighed heavily. Things are a little too complicated now. I hope everything is settled before the Titans comes.
