The King's Mates(MxBxMxMxM)

TWÉÑTY-ØÑÉ

*The night of the ceremony at the vampire kingdom*

Caines POV

Today was the day. The day I was going to meet my mate again.

This past year has been hell for me.
I had been banned from seeing the love of my life and all I could do was stare at his pictures.

He was beyond beautiful each passing day and everyday,I found myself falling more in love with him.

This past year as I'd mentioned was hell. I'd lost focus of my responsibility and Emery's twin brother Dominick had waged war with my kingdom.

I couldn't fight hard enough so I was captured and beaten up every day.
I had been excited for this day for the past few months.

My body were covered in bruises and dried up blood but I knew it was my fault. I deserved this for rejecting him.
If only he knew that I had to do this to keep him safe, when Victor heard about me rejecting my mate, he was going to go after Emery to see if I had attachments with the boy but in return I forged a marriage invitation to the kingdom same time to him to invite him to my wedding with Victoria.

Victoria was my best friend and agreed to do it.
In public we'd be the happy couple but behind closed doors?she had her own life with her mate, my beta and was now expecting her first born.

My nephew.

I knew the news would drive Victor away and for a while it had.
The punch that was delivered to my gut had me feeling like throwing up my blood bag but if I did,I wouldn't get anymore blood for the next few weeks.

My eyelids failed to open because it was swollen shut.

"Wakey wakey your majesty" I heard the familiar voice of Dominick as he kicked my stomach.

The stitches I'd done were still fresh so I won't be surprised if I started bleeding again today.

"I bring you such saddening news. Fortunately, Emery isn't going to make it to your funeral today but don't worry,I'd make sure to send him your blood replacing the one he's loosing" I opened my eyes.

"W-what do you mean?" I panted as he scowled at me.

"You don't know?about your little rejection?he's sick Caine. Throwing up blood every once in a while and he's not getting any better. My father's power cannot heal him because he didn't cause his pain,you did!" He says delivering a jaw dislocating punch to my face.

My heart ached more than my body at this moment.
I knew something was wrong, but I didn't exactly know how.

My vampiric side wouldn't tell me cause every time he did,he'd close himself off.

Blood. Emery's been throwing up blood.

Because of me. He's sick because of me. He's dying and in so much pain because of me.

Dominick stopped fighting as he stared out into the mist through my window.

"You know, ever since we were little. Emery's eyes would always lit up when my fathers used to talk about mates. I as his twin shared a sacred bond with him and now?watching him suffer?watching him close himself from all of us everyday, I couldn't stand it.
He wouldn't eat for days,weeks even a whole month. We'd caught him once trying to commit suicide and other times we'd had to fetch him from the humans world because he'd gotten drunk and would call for you for hours. It made me cry. How his mate was such an asshole destroying such a beautiful kind soul you would've ever met. You might not understand this Caine but Emery is....fragile at heart, things like your rejection was breaking him little by little and the pills didn't help anymore. Being fragile doesn't make him weak. At least not in my eyes,he was the most kindest most emotionally strongest person I'd ever met. He'd.... He was emotionally a strong person. When my father yelled at him to grow up and move on,he did exactly that. Like it was his only way of making the rejection illness slow down.
He'd gotten stronger. Sometimes I'd woken up in the middle of the night and I would find him alone in the training ground practicing his abilities.
He loves you still Caine. But he's also slowly loosing his vampire. He will die soon and his blood will be on your hands.
Can you imagine how..... Mad he was when I send him the letter of your updates?where you were?what you were going through?that's why he couldn't make it. Being here to kill you himself didn't sit well with him, because at the end of the day,rejection or not,he is still your mate" with that he walked out leaving me with the one feeling I'd been trying to hide for so long.

Guilt.
