Chapter 8.5

---Minerva---

The royal meeting went on, in the conference room with the representatives and Lords and the Ministers. We had been planning about finding their compound or where they are hiding. We need to attack them before they attack us. I have this gut that they are many.

'All of these years, I am sure that they are stronger than we think. I should keep the balance between us and nature. Immortals who are here killing mortals ought not to be here.'

Every day we keep things smooth. We make armors and poisons. I trained the Enchanters and Enchantresses on how to make potions and on how to control their magical powers in nature. At the same time, I had been practicing myself to teleport from place to place here in the Kingdom. I should take it slow and regain back my powers. The poison that Helena shoots on me is strong that takes my abilities away. She knows that I am stronger than her and she needed me to get out on her way to make it to the Queen.

Here in the game we officials and armies are protecting the Queen and King. We can't lose them at the same time like on what happened in the past. We get weak, where every pack is looking up at us. But we didn't take that weakness to us. We need to stand and fight.

It was December 31 and everyone is happy and excited to see the sun on the first day of the New Year. They are pretty handy on the things on the booths they make for the people to stay awake until tomorrow. There will be a fireworks display that we made for them to enjoy.

I was walking in the corridor of the palace. I stay in the castle every weekday while on my weekend I will be at my house. I feel tingles around my body that makes me stop. Someone grabbed me into the dark corner holding my mouth not to make any noise. I know who it is now.

'Hey, beautiful...' he kissed my neck where he marks me. I removed his hands off me and pushed him away. I get out of the dark and he followed me. He smiled at me looking down on my neck. 'You wear it...' he took the pendant and moves down kissing it, locking his eyes on me.

'Okay, what are you doing here?' I asked coldly.

'You ignore my calls and texts since yesterday.' He frowned at me.

'Oh, that? I left my phone in the house... it's useless here.' I answer not caring about his nagging. He sighs and pouts. I cross my arms over my chest. 'What do you want now?' I asked him coldly.

'I wanted to kiss you and make love to you.' I was taken aback by his bluntness and loss of consideration. He removed his sweater and I stepped back. He started removing the button of his shirt.

'What the fuck are you doing?' I furrow.

'I wanted to show you something.' He grins winking at me. I take a step backward but he pulls my arm to him. 'You haven't seen it...' he opens his shirt and I didn't look at it. 'Look...' he pulls my arm. 'Just look at it!'

I forcibly look at his chest. I gape at the tattoo on his left breast; just right in front of his heart is my portrait. The tattoo seems real. It emphasizes my hair and my face. My hair is gold, like the color of my real hair, then my face is really like my face with red lips. There's a name above the portrait. MINERVA is printed in Forte font style. I touch it looking closely at it.

'You can kiss it...' he teased. I punch his chest that makes him stepped back. 'Ow! You know that hurt!' he pulls me to him and I look again at his big muscular chest. He kissed my head wrapping his arms around my waist. 'I miss you.'

'Ah, you know... guys... it isn't appropriate if you do that there. There will be a lot of people who will walk into this hallway. And it's no good if they see you here. You can take a room instead.' I grimaced at Sam who is standing two meters away from us.

'Oh, Hi Sam!' he said happily. I pushed my mate until he hit the wall.

'We are not doing the thing on your mind.' I told him coldly.

'Well, I am just saying—'

'I clearly know where to act right.' Sam hands up. I walk out leaving them.

'Baby! Wait!' Yves calls.

I ignore him. I need to go back to my house to pick some things. I don't need him with me. I just walk and walk ignoring his presence. I walk into the woods and a good thing that it had stopped snowing. I snapped my fingers and my house appears.

'Oh, that's why Zoë is saying that no one can see your house...' he snapped.

I open the door and a white rabbit enters my house. I don't care about them going in and out of my house. They are welcome to my house. I gasped when he took me into his arms after he had close the door and he ran to the sofa putting me down while he's on top of me. He giggles while I just give him a poker face.

'I really miss you...' he kissed my nose.

I touch her long messy hair that is covering his forehead with my fingers down to his small hairs on his jaw. He smiled at me caressing my hair. He was really attractive and handsome. I took his kissable lips to mine and he expertly kisses me with full of passion and love.

I grabbed his hair by my fingers. It was soft and fucked up. I like his hair when it was fucked up. He groans at the back of his throat caressing my sides. He stopped kissing me and he pulls my coat. I sat up for him to remove it. I then remove helped him peel his coat. It becomes wild when I started unbuttoning his shirt. He keeps rubbing my spine that sent me tingles and lust. He holds both wrists stopping me then he put his lips to mine again.

'Hmm... I hope no one interrupts us.' He murmurs between our kiss.

'Shut up!' I grabbed his head. He giggles and sucks the skin of my neck. 'Oh...' I never had been in made out session so I have no idea what it feels. At first, I don't give a shit but now it feels crazy. He pulls down the sleeve of my dress kissing my shoulders and arms.

'Minerva... I got—' my father stopped on the door taken aback when he sees us. I breathe and just lay down on the couch while Yves had to move away from my top. 'Sorry!' he just put the paper bag on the floor and leaves.

I rolled my eyes and sat up pulling my sleeve up to my shoulder. Yves rubbed my tight making body contact. I am not in the mood to do it now. But he insisted by nuzzling his nose and lips on my neck and rubbing my tight pulling up my dress. I move sitting down on his lap, my legs apart.

'Let's just kiss and cuddle... I don't want to give up my whole self to you now.'

He nods and kissed my lips.

'But mate... I wanted you now.'

'Shh...' I pointed my forefinger on his lips. 'Not now. Learn to be patient.'

'Yes, master...' he smiles. He kissed my neck biting it lightly and sucking it. I moan and moan while he's doing it expertly. He scoops one of my breasts, and I feel my nipples harden. I push his hand down back to my waist.
