He drops the spatula he was holding and turns to me in his arms... carrying me in front of him.

He crashes his lips on mine and kisses me like today's the last time he's gonna kiss me.

I can feel his fear... love... frustration and anger in the kiss.. though it was a brief kiss but I received his message.

He rests his forehead on mine and shuts his eyes, breathing heavily.

He opens his eyes and place a lingering kiss on my forehead.

"You made me worried today, baby!" He said and sits me on a stool.

My eyes meets some steaks on the counter, I quickly reach for it and take one.

"Baby, I told you to go home, why did you come to find me?" He asked.

I took a bit from the steak.

"I was just worried that you'll be in danger and I was right, you were really in danger"

Ray sighs.

"I wasn't in danger, I could have handled them just fine...."

I cut him off with a scoff.

"But from what I saw you were held down by those chains and you couldn't fight back!"

"I was distracted and besides, those chains were nothing... I could have break free!"

"You were distracted?! You're fighting with wolf hunters and you still have the time to be distracted?"

He turns to the gas and flips the egg he's frying.

"I felt your presence and I was worried Jason would find you, so I was looking around for you.. that's when Jason's men trapped me with those chains!"

Oh! I thought he wouldn't know I'm around.

"But I helped out, right?"

"Helped out? Do you know how dangerous your actions was? Do you know what damage it could bring to you and Karen?"

From his tone and expression, he seems so serious and worried.

I frown.

"Ray, you should be saying thank you and not scolding me" I said chuckling lightly.

"Stacey, you just had your first shift, do you think you're strong enough to fight?"

He's right there, I was kinda impulsive.

"I'm sorry about that...."

"You don't even know the basic fighting skills yet! Can you please take it easy on yourself?"

I can feel myself getting worried, angry and sad.. but the strange thing is, these don't seem to be my feelings.

Then I recall Jessy telling me that I'll be feeling some of Ray's emotions just as he'll be feeling mine.

I sighed. I guess I really made him worry so much, I climb down the stool and hug him from behind.

"I'm sorry, Ray, I'll be careful next time"

"Next time?!"

He turns around and holds my shoulders, staring straight in my eyes.

"There'll be no next time, you tired yourself out and passed out... We can't let this repeat itself next time!" He said.

I simply nod... He pulls me closer and embraced me tightly.. sniffing my hair and his tensed body starts relaxing.

My stomach growls loudly and Ray chuckles.

"Someone is hungry after playing the heroin!"

"You can't blame me, I haven't had anything since breakfast!"

Ray pulls away from our embrace and take my hand, he leads me towards the dinning table.

He pulls out a chair for me and made me sit down.

"Let me set the table!" He said.

He walks back to the kitchen and starts bringing out the food.. my mouth watered when I saw how delicious the food look.

Ray sits next to me and dishes my plate... I didn't waste time, I start eating immediately.

"Humm, yummy!" I moan.

Ray clears his throat.

"Stop moaning or I won't hold back and I'll f$*k you senseless!"

I blush... I stop moaning immediately, I can't have him cripple me now.

"No, thank you! Keep your killer machine to yourself!" I told him.

"My what?! Killer machine?!"

"Yeah!"

He scoffs.

"Well I remember someone couldn't get enough of my killer machine!"

I didn't comment cause my face has turn red from blushing as I reminisce our s£x scene, he clears his throat.

"Someone was begging to have more...Ray..

.faster... faster...."

"Stop!" I cut him off.

He laughs and kisses my cheek.

"You're so cute when you blush!" He said.

"Let's just eat!" I told him.

He laughs briefly and we ate in silence.

We're almost done eating, hen I notice he's dressed like he's going out.

"Are you going somewhere?"

He nods.

"Yeah, dad sent for me!"

"He sent for you?" I asked and check the time on my phone.

It's 7:03pm.

"But it's late!" I said.

"He said it's urgent!"

I sighed and my shoulders slumps down.

I'll be the only one here when he leaves, I'm so gonna die of boredom.

"You're coming with me but you'll stay with mom while I speak with dad"

I smile and nod quickly.

"We'll leave after eating!" He said.

Ray's POV

King's office...!

I walk into my dad office and was surprised to see my dad and pack's seer.

What is he doing here at this late hour? I wonder.

He seldom comes out.

"Dad, why did you send for me?" I asked and sits down.

The seer bows at me and greets me. "Your highness!"

I nod to acknowledge his greeting. My dad clears his throat.

"I heard your mate killed that hunter!" He states.

"Yes!" I replied.

"I heard she passed out? How is she now?"

"She's fine, dad, why did you sent for me?" I asked.

He didn't reply me but turns to the seer instead.

"He's the reason I sent for you, he has something to tell us about Stacey!" Dad said.

I turn to the seer with a raised eyebrow.

"Your highness, I want you to know that your mate is not supposed to be a wolf... She's the prophecy!"

"Prophecy?!"

He nods. I turn to my dad, he seem to understand what the seer means.. I'm the only one that doesn't know.

"What prophecy?"

"The prophecy that requires your live!"

A prophecy that requires my life?! How is it connected to my mate?!

"War between the witches, vampires and werewolves that happened centuries ago...is going to repeat itself in this generation and your mate will be the cause!"

"What do you mean? Speak clearly!"

"It is written in the prophecy that a female child will be born and will be paired with the king of wolves whose death will bring eternal peace between the witches, vampires and werewolves... she's a witch born in a wolf's family...in order to save her, her mate will pay a big price... which is a life for a life!"

I frown deeply. When was this prophecy written and why didn't I know of it until now?.

"You said she wasn't supposed to be a wolf, then why did she have her shift already?" I asked.

"Because I wanted to change her destiny, I thought waking up her wolf gene will help her escape the prophecy...but what happened in the woods today prove that the prophecy must happen!"

"You were in the woods?"

"Yes, I was the one that prevented you from fighting back when you were held down by those chains!"

Right, I felt like some force was holding me down... So it was him!

"I wanted to know which side she'll take if you're in danger... wolf or witch!"

He pause and sighs.

"But unfortunately, she used her witch power which means the prophecy must happen!" He said.

Witch power?! That explains why her eyes were glowing!

"She's the queen of witches!"

"Queen of witches?!" I asked.

He nods.

"I thought she's disappeared from the earth centuries ago?" Dad asked.

"Yes, but she reincarnated in the prince's mate.. which will be the cause of the great war...the witches will want their queen back but the wolves won't let it happen.. who's gonna be their queen if they let it happen... that's gonna be the cause of the great war!"

Queen of witches! How come that happen when both her parents were wolves?

"Then how did the vampires come in?" Dad asked.

"She's their prince's beloved..which means, alpha prince's love rival"

I clenched my jaw... what's the moon goddess playing at?!

I'm not gonna share my mate with anyone.. she's Mine! Mine alone!

"If she's not supposed to be a wolf, what is she then? A vampire? Or a witch?" Dad asked.

"The Alpha prince's mate is a witch!"

The door burst open.

"I'm a witch?!"

Oh no, could it be she heard all the seer said?
