Beginning

Venice Alcen's Point of View

"Marry me, baby," Ajax said while holding a glass of blood in his hand, I feel my senses that are craving in the blood he is drinking.

I am intensely looking at him, trying to resist my temptation. This is the hardest thing I've ever done, "I said no, is it hard to understand what I say?" I stated while my eyes are getting a little bit green because of the hungriness I'm feeling.

He put down on the table the glass and tasted the blood spilling at the side of his lips, I looked away and pretended to be scared.

"Marry Me," He says again while playing his eyes are directly looking at me. I avoided his gaze because if I don't, I know what will happen to me. I can't resist his temptation.

"Ajax, no. Is it hard to understand what I want?" I aggressively look at him but, he just sighed.

He should not discover that the one he thought as a human is also a vampire who's drinking blood too.

He is Jaxon Hellscream.

I have long known that he's one of us, vampire. We had been in a relationship for almost two years in the mortal world. But I've decided to break up with him four months ago for some serious reason.

That's because...

My mate is in danger and he is calling for my help.

I always feel his presence when the full moon occurs, he once tried to show up. I can feel his light presence, but, we never met.

That makes my body feel weakened without any particular reason.

"I'll do whatever you want, baby. Just please don't do this to me" He said in a soft tone while sadly looking into my eyes,

"Don't leave me, I love you," He added, but, I don't want to hurt him because of what is in destiny.

For the second time, I looked away. Yes, I love him, but I can't break what is destined for me.

If ever I feel the presence of my mate again, I will make sure that I needed to cut my love for this guy. We can't fight what is destiny, it is hard... Because someone I know the fight for their destiny, but, ended up dying.

I don't want him to die.

"Please, stay with me, baby. I badly need you" He pleaded with me while his voice is screaming for sadness.

I heard his inner voice, it's so sad and quietly begging. He truly loves me.

I have this rare ability to hear and send my inner voices even I'm not their mate.

It is also one of the reasons why I can't confess to him that I'm also a vampire.

My power is sacred in my world and the moment I'm revealed, those bastard vampires will take advantage of my ability.

I let out a sigh, "I'm sorry."

"I thought you loved me, Val?" He said in a painful tone. His manly voice made those words hurtful. It's like he created that voice to neglect resistance.

I love you, Ajax but you're not destined for me if you're only my mate.

But am I ready to face the consequences if I choose him?

There are people who will be hurt.

My mate can't find another mate if I leave, they'll be dead and everything I sacrificed would be a waste once we find the true happiness that we can't give to each other.

It would make no sense to cut ties with my mate for him because if someone is not destined for you, you will not feel delighted because of the rules that we are following.

And I must not leave my mate behind.

I know that when our paths collide, he will be my everything.

'I will do everything to make you stay, I'll change everything you hate about me' He said in his inner voice, that hurts me.

'You're hurting me by your inner voice, Jax'

But, this isn't the right to be with each other because both of our mates will be in danger if we pleased ourselves.

The whole place was covered by silence, he's only looking into my eyes as if thinking of what he should say next.

"Val, give me six months to make our relationship be legal."

"Promise I'll prove that this will work," He leaned closer to me and reached my hands.

"I promise you that it'll be the last. Six-month baby, please"

I'm not sure what possibilities are waiting if I said yes. But I can't look at him like this.

For the last two years, we were together, he didn't beg for me like this.

I can't even say anything but I bravely looked at him the same way he looked at mine "Just six months right? After this and if I didn't become yours, you will set me free?"

"Yes," he replied. "... even if it hurts, if I failed to make this work, I promise to let you go"

Am I ready for this even though, I know for myself that my mate will be in danger because of this?

Then, I will be the Vampire's King Mistress because if his mate was shown up in the Portal of Glass then, I don't have a choice but to be happy with them but still, my mate is in danger and I don't even have a clue where I can save him.

Note: Jaxon Hellscream is the full name of Ajax/Jax.
