They all rushed in right after they heard me yelling and came to find me grabbing George by the collar and threatening to skin his family jewels if he didn't start talking.

They had to pull me away and try to calm me down. I was beyond livid. This Morgan woman slipped past the air wall, and was undetected by the guards. She vanished without a trace and managed to taunt me while doing so. I jumped into the pool and sunk to the bottom.

This was something I always did to clear my head, when I'm in water it seems that everything goes away for a while whilst I get my thoughts in order. I looked up at the sky and saw the dark clouds hanging in the sky. A storm was coming, I felt it in my bones, but right now it seemed like an omen for what was to come.

Nox was pacing as Jamie looked into the water worriedly. I could stay down here for as long as I wanted. Perks of being a water mage. My body automatically transform the water into oxygen for my lungs and it forms a protective layer for my skin. Jamie was starting to call my name, and taking off her shoes to dive in. I felt the water surface break as she entered my space. She grabbed my hand tried to pull me but I pulled her down and willed my protective barrier to engulf her protect her lungs. She still held her breath reminding me of Nox everytime we traveled through the water gates. I chuckled a little which made her gasp, which made her eyes widen comically. 

"How-..."

"Magic, Jay. My magic can do that." I smiled. 

She nodded. She was learning not to question things as much as she had powers of her own, even though she didn't understand, she was learning that the world was now much vast than she had accustomed to.

"You OK, boo?" she asked tentatively. I tried to smile but it came out as a grimace. 

"Just when things started getting better, there's always something that has to happen." I grumbled, laying my head on her shoulder. She rested hers on top of mine as she spoke.

"That's just how life is, KiKi. One minute its going one way, and in the next minute, it branches off to whole new direction. But you can't let that get you down. You just take it one step at a time and do the next best thing."

Her words sunk in. She was right. Although Jamie looked like a biker chick who'd throw you across the room and not break a sweat, her wisdom was always astounding. Erica had the brains, I had the heart and she was definitely the soul.  Life has done nothing but thrown curve balls my way, but it shouldn't bring me down so easy. like Lizzo said, I'm a 100% that b***h and I was going to get through this. As long as I have people I love by my side, I can do anything.

I hugged her and suggested we head to the surface. The people there were looking at us in awe. Apparently we had been done there for nearly half an hour and there wasn't a drop of water on us when we got out. Nox had explained to them we weren't in danger of drowning so they backed off.

Nox.

His current behavior was another curve ball. There was something off about him that I never noticed before, but I did now. Guilt.

He felt guilty about something. It was at moments like this that I wished I could see into people's heads like my sister. I could read emotions but without their thoughts, it could mean a variety of things.

He was still pacing. His wolf was on guard and his fur was poking out. The wolves were apparently escorting George to their pack cells which Mason guaranteed would be guarded 24/7 till we got down to the mystery at hand. After failing to give information, I sealed his mouth shut with a spell. For as long as anything liquid was in his mouth, it would stay shut. Jamie also decided to go home, saying that her shift started soon.

When they left, we walked silently back into the house. The tension was thick with guilt and sadness, the newly awakened bond was in pain. I sat down on the couch and watched the sky through the living room window. The purple, pinks and yellows of dusk were mesmerizing as it slowly faded to twilight. I felt him seat beside me and sigh.

"I know that I should apologize for how I acted and the words I said, but its hard. There were truth in your words...you are my equal and I have no right to treat like less, but there is truth in mine too. Submission is a treasured thing to my kind. To submit to me, is to not only acknowledge my title and power, but sign of trust that I will always take care of you and love you till I walked to the moon."

My anger crumbled a little at his words. He and his beast were made to rule. The fact that the other half of him would act the way I did went against his natural instinct.

"I get where you're coming from Nox, I really do, but I haven't given you my full submission." He flinched. "I remember that much. Something is stopping me...I think you know what it is but you're either too ashamed or too guilty to say it out loud. I won't push for it, but if you want me to submit to you, we will be honest and open. Till then, I will act the way I always have. I am the eldest princess of an entire realm, should my parents and Liam be unable to rule, the responsibility falls to me. I also was born to have the ability to rule and you should never forget that."

He stilled. Shame and anger, rising to the surface but I was too tired to determine if it was aimed at me or himself.

"I will be in my room tonight, I'm going to bed and I suggest you do the same. We have a long day tomorrow." I stood up and walked away. The bond felt like it was on fire, pushing me to run back to him and hold him. But no, he has to learn that my submission will not be given when he is hiding things from me. It's too precious.

The one thing I learned is, never submit to a mate who refuses to submit to you.

Hey fam

Sorry bout the late update, wifi got cut, my iphone gave up on me and I just got a new job! Life has been busy, but I'll try to keep updating as much as I can...

Now...I have had my lazy ass proof reader comment that it seems like Kiki is a pushover. She easily just goes with whatever people are saying, apparently it makes her look like an air head. First of all, how dare you say foul things -_- you wound me sir! Secondly, her element is water...therefore I have given her a personality like it. Water ripples at a drop and is pushed and pulled. She gets easily frustrated and changes her mind like the tides but get her mad and she will be a tsunami coming to wipe you out. Also water follows its natural stream and will cut into anything that stops it...and if you have been having these thoughts too, I hope that this cleared it up a bit.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it.
