My Current Affairs

"Kill you? No. What is with everyone and immediately wanting to turn to violence?" Neveah said gently. She sounded much more calm than she felt in the moment, and her eyes scanned the garden around them. She was trying to decide what to say.

"I'm not the type of person who's good at being with someone... I'm good at... The physical stuff... and running my kingdom. Love would distract me from doing the best job I can. I don't understand how this happened... All I was doing was trying to help... Maybe I have been distracted already..." she said finally. Her eyes fell to the ground where she stood and she furrowed her brow together.

"I'm not going to make you leave or anything. Your situation is still apparent. I just need time to think."

My Current Affairs

Neveah would be the first person to admit she didn't know much about imprinting from a wolf. She knew how it worked within her own kind though. She felt a little mad, but tried to stop herself from letting that emotion control her.

"My brother woke me today with some interesting... facts, to say the least. He told me you've imprinted on me, that he could smell it. Is that true?" she said. She watched his expression closely, as well as watched for any shift in his aura or stature. Neveah wasn't the type of person to fall in love easily. Let alone allow herself to be so reckless as to bind herself to another. She had so much constantly going on that it rarely crossed her mind. She enjoyed the physical aspects of relationships far more than the emotional, despite how kind hearted she was most of the time.

She began to pace around again slightly, never once taking her eyes off of him though as she waited for his response. She felt like screaming as the anticipation grew inside of her. But what if he had? What would she do? She could tell him to leave. But she didn't know if that would hurt him, or how much it would hurt him to be so far from her. Her mind was racing.

My Current Affairs

"Yes. See you then." was all she responded when Aerendyl finally answered her. She had been pacing around her room for a while and she shoved the phone onto her night stand, plugging it in to charge. She wanted to ignore it for a while, and went to take a long shower. She let her mind wander to anything and everything except for Aerendyl, pushing him from her thoughts the moment he entered. It was difficult, but she managed to do it. Once her shower was over, she dried off and put on a tight knit dress. It was navy in color, and made her already pale skin stand out again. She often chose colors that contrasted with her skin because it made her stand out. Though people recognized her anywhere most of the time anyhow.

To pass some more of the time, Neveah decided to go back to sleep until sunset. A few hours later she awoke and groaned, stretching. Everything came rushing back to her and she stood up, smoothing her clothes out as well as her hair. When she felt ready, she sighed deeply and headed out onto her balcony toward the gardens. Once she was outside and the sun had set, she sat on a solid cement bench, tapping her foot on the grass beneath.

My Current Affairs

A loud banging on her door woke Neveah up immediately from her sleep. Her eyes shot open and she sat up, startled. She glanced around the room for a moment to try and ground herself, and to determine what time it was. She figured it was around noon. She had only been asleep for five hours or so, and because she had fallen asleep on the sofa, her body felt slightly stiff. She stretched and grabbed her cell phone for a moment, only to see there was a text.

"Hey it's Aerendyl. I know you're probably asleep by now so just wanted to make sure this worked and to say have a good sleep. See you when I see you. :)" it read.

Neveah added his number to her cell and another few bangs on the door followed. "Okay hold on a minute!" She growled slightly, annoyed at the abrupt awakening, and swung her door open. Lucius stood opposite her and he looked furious. Neveah raised a delicate eyebrow up into an arch, and stared at him.

"Don't even start with me Lucius. I know what this is about, and it is not your choice nor your kingdom." Neveah said.

He snarled at her and stepped forward so they both were in her quarters. He slammed the door behind him and grabbed Neveah by her shoulders, shaking her roughly.

"What are you fucking thinking? Bringing a mutt into the kingdom! He's going to murder our entire population! Not only that, the poor fuck has imprinted on you. I could smell it just walking toward your quarters! Tell me you didn't..." Lucius hissed.

"What do you mean imprinted? I've barely even spoken to him..." Neveah said, her voice having gone from annoyed to shocked. "Are you sure?"

"As sure as the full moon." Lucius stated. "Deal with it, or his head will be upon the stake. Before we all are." He gave her one more look before turning away and leaving. Neveah hadn't even noticed her hands shaking until she glanced down at her cell phone, which slid out of her hand and onto the floor with a thud. For a moment she wished her meetings with Lucius could be fun and happy, instead of angry. Once she picked up her cell phone, she texted Aerendyl back.

"We need to talk. Meet me in the garden at sunset."

My Current Affairs

The vampire that stood outside of Aerendyl's new house held bags with sheets and clothing and a hell of a lot of groceries. Many of the bags were filled with steaks and roasts and other things of high protein that he could eat raw when he wasn't hunting. There were also snacks and other things like milk, eggs, bread, and cheese. Neveah wasn't sure what types of things he liked, so she hoped she covered most of the basics. The clothing in the bags were more modern, clean and comfy. The bedding and towels matched the insides of each room, and were mostly neutral in color.

As Neveah neared her home, she began to feel tired. It had been many hours since she had gone to get Aerendyl, and the sun would come up soon. She yawned as if on cue with her thoughts, and headed up the outer set of stairs to her personal balcony. When she reached the top, she unlocked the door and stepped inside. The balcony lead into her living room and she sunk down onto the huge leather couch for a while, closing her eyes after ensuring the black out curtains were closed. Her bag was set down against the leg of the sofa and her phone rested on the seat next to her. She fell asleep for a while, thirst rising into her throat while she slept.

My Current Affairs

"I'll be checking in with you, yes." Her answer was immediate but didn't really leave anything open to continue that branch of the conversation. When Aerendyl winked at her though, her stomach knotted. Her nostrils flared slightly in response, and she tried to shove the odd feeling aside. She smiled politely and showed her fangs as she did. She glanced at the bedroom behind him for a moment before turning away and headed back into the kitchen.

"I will have someone bring you food and whatever other things you will need for the house in a few hours. Out back there is a bit of forested area as well and also a pool if you care to use it. Someone tends to it twice a week," she paused briefly, trying to think of anything else she might need to tell him. She continued with a final sentence.

"Here is my cell number, in case you need or want to get a hold of me if something is wrong." She handed him a small piece of paper with her number on it and turned toward the front door. The house smelled off now that Aerendyl was inside, but it was a much less potent scent compared to when she first saw him.

My Current Affairs

Neveah nodded when he asked if the house in the near distance was going to be his. "Yes that's it. It's a small one bedroom place, but it really is beautiful. I think you'll like it. And it's close enough that you can come here often. There's a trail similar to the one we used to enter the gardens, leading close to here so you can come whenever if you feel the need. I do understand you probably find peace here, so I wouldn't mind. My quarters are just there," she pointed upwards to the castle at a tall towered area.

What Aerendyl didn't know what this new home of his, was hers also. She owned a few different homes all over the world, for escape but also for when she needed to travel. "I hope you like it. I know it's not your house, though."

My Current Affairs

"Why wouldn't you want to leave?" she said again, watching his face curiously. She felt confused and even though he didn't say anything really in answer to her original question, she knew there was something he wanted to say, but didn't. She had been in positions like that before though, so she tried to let it go. She was curious though why he would want to stay in a garden. It was pretty, but not very appropriate for someone to live in. His new home wasn't too far outside of the gardens edges. She could even see the roof from where she stood if she looked past Aerendyl and not at him.

My Current Affairs

"No. I feel perfectly normal. Why? Should I somehow feel some random other way? What are you talking about?" she felt unsure and annoyed, and moved away from him a couple of small steps. Her body was framed by gorgeous flowers and fauna, and it made her pale skin stand out.

He seemed to be deep in thought, or at least that's what his expression looked like and she waited for his response. Her stomach tightened as anxiety rose inside of her. She didn't feel this way often, so she knew that something was going on, but she didn't know what it was or why.

My Current Affairs

"I'm sure if you exposed yourselves properly and with hesitation, the way my kind did, you could be as free as us. Though I'm not too sure about the fact you'd need to change during the moons?" she spoke in response to what he said, but she wasn't sure how he would continue with her final comment. Aerendyl began to transform then, after asking if he could stretch, which Neveah nodded to. She watched his already massive body become even larger and this was the first time she would see such a thing in person. He seemed extremely calm after his change, and so she turned to continue to lead the way. He spoke to her again then.

"Of course I can hear you, I'm not deaf?" Neveah said softly. She realized though that she hadn't actually heard him. Her eyes narrowed and she turned back to him, her eyes locking onto his intently. Had he shared his thought with her? Was he able to do that before? She couldn't quite remember, but she was sure he hadn't.
