Chapter 25: Answer Me or You’re Dead Meat
Frizabelle
7:30 pass
We reached the school ground safe and sound Ceres has to leave since she has to file an early live today which I don't know what her business was that she has to take care off. I sighed watching her back retreat when we reached the locker area where the others waited for a few seconds.
"You two beting sweet early in the morning." Nate teased which I just rolled my eyes over before opening my locker and putting my later subjects.
"Well, maybe we just compromised something last night." I stated not looking at them.
"What is that, princess?" Yume asked me with her curious tone which made me look at them. They were eager to know what Ceres and I agreed on.
"I was in heat last night and..." I was trailed off when Avery reacted immediately like she was excited for me to get marks or marked her master, Ceres.
"Oh my, did you guys finally do it?" Avery asked in her excited tone.
"Of course they didn't, Ave. They're scent will be mixed together when they mate and since their scents were the same, meaning nothing happened. Yet." Ethan cleared Avery which made her nod in understanding.
"Then what is it?" Yume still insisted which made me sighed as I locked my locker before meeting their eyes again.
"To endure. We have to endure each other till the right time to make love." I explained to them which made them look surprised.
"Wow, how long Ceres gonna last?" Nate asked which made me confused a little.
"Have you realized that Ceres has already been enduring before she even met you?" Ethan asked me this which I never thought of since it never crossed my mind that time.
"It never crossed my mind since I'd rather make love to her not before the lust or the heat thing involved. We both want to make love not just sex to ease those heat." I explained the reason why we decided to endure till the day we finally decided to make love.
"We're never gonna understand you." Nate and Ethan said in chorus while shaking their heads in disbelief.
"But I do." Avery said which made me smile and gave her a tight hug.
You do?" Nate asked curiously.
"Yes, since it's also a form of testing if your partner was loyal to you but at the same time respecting your partner. I know night creatures definitely have loyalty toward their mates but not all of them were like that and Ceres understood that very well. She simply respected Friz not just as her mate but her lover for the rest of her life. She might be at the edge but she will for you." Avery explained which made me almost cry to her point of view which I almost forgot that she was once a human before she turned into a vampire.
"Well, good luck with that, Princess. I've got the feeling that your control will burst when that time comes." Yume winked at me and I really know what she meant by that.
I shook my head before they waved their hands since they have to go to their morning classes with their terror professors. As for me and Avery we went calmly to our classes together since we didn't have any terror teachers like they had at each class we have.
Nothing particular or eventful happened in our morning classes, it just started in such a bliss with pop quizzes since examination week was coming. Everyone in the class might have whined since they didn't like the idea but it would benefit us in the near future also I didn't care. Instead, I just want to get through to this very day so I could be with her since she's my music instructor, I mean professor or teacher? Well, either way, I will be with her. Anyway, throughout our day, there's no skipping the quizzes at each class and it was tiring for everyone's mind aside from my gifted memory. I might not be good at anything that's academic, I could still manage to pass them all especially when I focus on them. Well, I just don't like academics and making my mind work more than it's capacity. Anyway, as the classes finished, I didn't see any glimpse of Vincent's shadow around the corridor or even Ceres in the school ground like they both didn't come to school. Though, I already knew that Ceres was busy with personal stuff.
"Nate, did you see Ceres?" I asked as I joined them by the parking lot.
"Only this lunch break but she called for Vincent and they never came back since then." Nate replied to me before eating his nachos.
"Maybe, they went home early." Avery guessed that made me nod but worried. I still didn't like Vincent very much and now hanging around with my girl was seriously getting into me.
"Chill Princess." Yume noticed my anger was getting best out of me. I sighed as I steal some nachos from Nate who was shocked to what I just did.
"Why not check through your link since you two are mates." Ethan suggested that it made me gasp a bit since I never thought of it. Why didn't I think of it?
"Babe, where are you?" I asked through our link but there was only silence like she's ignoring me or something which only adds some fuel to my irritation now that I learned that she's with him.
I'm already gritting my teeth as I tried to control my irritation but I can feel the tension revolving around my gang. I heavily sighed before looking at them apologetic.
"I think DQ would help you chill." Yume suggested which made me smile before I gave her a hug.
"You're the best." I said as I kissed his cheek which made Ethan roll his eyes.
"What about me?" Ethan pouted like a jealous kid which made me giggle and Yume gave him a kiss to his cheek as well.
"Then what are we waiting for, dessert is coming right up." Nate excitedly said as he threw the wrapper of the nachos he was just eating and hopped on the car.
As they all hopped in the car and I rode on my motorbike, we all drove to the nearest DQ downtown not far from the school perimeter. They were on the road first since I have to contact Ceres through our link but I still got no response from her. It was getting into me which made me think of my mother and mind-linked her.
"Hey Mom, is Ceres there? I've been linking her through our bond but she was not answering. Is she okay?" I asked as my mother.
'Oh honey, she went to her grandparents earlier this noon with Vincent and they just got back an hour ago. Now, she's having a meeting with your father.'
"Oh I see. She didn't mention that she's going to meet her grandparents when she told me that she's going to be busy with personal business." I told my mother who I felt like she knew something but I didn't ask further. I don't want to be on the wrong side of her.
'Honey, are you on the road? I told you not to drive while mind-linking.'
"I know Mom but I'm only in nineties." I replied which made me slap myself mentally.
'NINETIES! Slow down even more or park.'
"I know and I am slowing down since we decided to drop by on DQ." I said since I was indeed slowing down since I am parking my Dark next to the grey Rover car of Ethan.
'Good. And buy me a pistachio sans rival at the SweetsBakery shop.'
"Mom, I don't have any money left with me." I whined through our link when she told me to buy her favorite cake. She loves nuts in her sweets.
'Your Dad will pay you back.'
"Fine. Double it then." I chuckled which made me grin since Dad will be the one who's gonna pay me.
'Clever and noted.'
"Gotta go. I need my chocolate mint blizzard." I told Mom before cutting off the private talk we just had before getting inside the shop.
Inside the Dairy Queen shop, I told them my order before I left to buy my mother her cake just by next door. The cake shop has minimal customers at this hour which was very convenient for me since sometimes I don't like too many crowded places. I immediately went to the cashier and ordered my mother's favorite cake then took it out. As I got out of the shop, I saw my friends were sitting at the couple of seats outside of DQ. they were eating theirs without waiting for me.
"Who told you to eat already?" I asked as I approached them but they just shrugged and smiled at me. Well, I don't mind and just ate my favorite.
"Do you think we won't spoil our dinner by eating dessert first?" Nate asked as he almost finished his mango blizzard.
"Depends on our stomach." Avery answered which made us laugh since she was right about that one but we're not human well, Avery wasn't human anymore. So, upset stomachs were very rare cases for us.
As we got done eating, I handed my mother's cake to Yume since they were in the car and I am driving my motorbike. It's not very safe for the cake and mine - I think? Well, I never tried to drive a cake on a motorbike without ruining the cake itself.
"Ready?" Ethan asked me as I started the engine of my Dark before nodding at him.
He took it as a response and drove ahead of me but I took some second before I followed them since I have to try to link my mate again. I hope this time she'll answer.
"Ceres." I started mind-linking her but nothing.
"Ceres, tell me did you and Vincent dated early this morning or is it me assuming that you guys did since you didn't answer me?" I continued but still nothing. There was no response through our link which made me groan and Lena whimpered in sadness.
"Lena, if she still answers she'll be dead." I told my wolf who just kept her silence but whined.
"Seriously Ceres! When I got back home and you're still not answering me, you're seriously dead meat to me!" I screamed through our link before cutting off and drove back home.
My irritated feelings were seriously getting all over the place and I could almost feel the rush of the heat building on the top of my lungs which only fuels my irritation over my mate.
"I'm gonna kill you for sure." I groaned as I gritted my teeth since I have to control my anger on the top of my chest since I was driving. Plus, I don't want to shift out of nowhere.
Ceres
At lunch hour, I summoned Vincent and joined me for a ride to my grandparents home since I have to get something in my grandmother's possession. When we got there, my grandmother was very excited since I already mentioned it to her before I headed to their home. She was more excited to give my mate a land possession which made me shake my head. I did want to refuse it but knowing her, she'll take no for an answer. Plus, I just don't want to be surprised one day that wherever that land was located was already in our name legally. As I got what I needed, we went to the flower shop downtown to order some flowers and delivered it at the pack house before nightfall.
Speaking of the pack, we got home and I immediately talked to Alpha about something though I knew Frizabelle was kept on bugging me through our link. I just ignore them for a while since I am busy right now. After our conversation, he summoned everyone in the pack and let me do the honor of talking to them. I went to talk to the whole pack about some favor. At first, we all gathered around the living room area as they wondered what could it be until I asked them.
"Could help me prepare something for my queen?" I asked what made them really shocked and surprised.
"What kind of help do you want from us?" the Delta asked me while sitting curiously at the couch with everyone.
I smiled as I began to explain to them what was my favor and they were surprised. Only a few were not happy about it and tried to argue since I was a vampire. Most of them were happy since it's the princess they were talking about. They were arguing toward my request until the Luna silenced them and they did.
"It's my daughter we're talking here not you." The Luna said in such seriousness that quivered them to their seats.
"I want her to be happy so how can we help?" Alpha decided that made the others excited.
We all tried to come up with a plan since I want it to be epic at the same time it has to be tonight. That's why I cut my link with her for a moment. Yet, cutting our link seriously made her pissed and wanted me dead. I sighed but that's expected from a short tempered mate like Frizabelle.
