Raven Maxwell Point of View
I gracefully moved over to my lover and gave him a hot kiss on the lips. His response was a smug look at me. He wrapped his long arms around my petite waist and pulled me in for a tight embrace. It was indeed true that Jagger thought I was his queen and lifelong lover. I loved the sound of that in my mind in my mind. Lifelong love. Alexander had decided that we weren't meant for each other and one night at the cemetery, he decided to just get it over with. I always thought that he was the one for me but I was wrong.
That night I literally begged my parents to allow me to leave and visit my Aunt once again, not dropping one hint that Alexander had broken up with me. I left for my Aunt's the following night and went to Jagger's club. As I danced through the club and got lost in the music, I didn't even realize I was being swept away down to the VIP section. When I had finally opened my eyes, there he was. Jagger. His green and blue eyes looked back into mines and I felt as if all my walls of defense against were crumbling away. I leaned forward and captured his lips with mine.
Jagger did the ceremony that night and we were bonded together forever. Finally, I had gotten what I wanted and what I needed; someone to love me and to be a vampire. The next day the unexpected happened. I woke up in the middle of the day and didn't die from the sunlight. Jagger was intrigued by this new discovery. Some of the covenant members found out about me and started to flirt with me. However, Jagger wasn't as amused as I was at the sudden attention. He wanted us to leave for Dullsville the following week and I couldn't agree more. I had some loose ends that I needed to deal with.
Jagger noticed my long gaze and snapped me out of my flashback. I blinked a few times and just smiled at him, caressing his cheek with my hand then pulling him closer to my body for a long passionate kiss. Then it all hit me as I quickly thought about it again. I would have to face him. Alexander.

The previous night's events rolled into my mind. A guy with white blonde hair with red tips and unusual eye colors appeared. It was Jagger. He looked as if he was in desperate need of my help and I wasn't very happy to extend my services to my former nemesis. Jagger decided to use a different antic to get me to give in to his plea. He said he had just wed with a beautiful girl and made her his lover. He still wanted to give her a real wedding even though she would just oppose to it. He also mentioned that he intended on protecting her by bringing her here.
I was suddenly amused by this situation but worried filled me for the poor girl, who he probably forced into this lifetime. After a long sigh, I finally agreed to help him and his lover. Jagger said that she would arrive in the morning and Jameson would have to attend to her needs. I raised an eyebrow at this. Did Jagger not change her?

As I got into my car and headed back to the Coffin Club thoughts of my beautiful wife rushed into my mind. I smirked at my thoughts and drove faster to arrive at my destination. I dashed to find her. I noticed that she was still packing but, eager to get her in my arms, I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind and started planting kisses along her neck. A soft moan escaped her lips as she continued to pack. I didn't give up so easily and pulled her away from what she was doing. Raven groaned a bit but squealed when I lifted her up into my arms.
After we were done with our kisses and goodbyes, I helped her pack and sent her on her way to the mansion. She wasn't delight that she wouldn't be with me but still wanted to please me so she listened to my demands. She gave me one final wet kiss right on the lips which I was content with.
After a few hours, Raven called me and told me she had arrived in Dullsville and to stop worrying about her. I agreed to stop worrying and just fall asleep but I couldn't wipe off the fact that I would be lonely for the rest of the day without her in my arms. Is this what love is ? I wondered to myself. I went over to my sleeping coffin and got in, pulling the lid over it and falling asleep to dream about my beautiful lover.

As I arrived onto the mansion's steps, all my fears suddenly overwhelmed me and my body became unresponsive. I took a few deep breaths and finally decided to knock on the door. My long black hair covered over my brown eyes and my makeup made me look even more cryptic than I had looked before. The Creepy Man answered the door and took my luggage from me with a "Hello, Mrs. Maxwell." The sound of the new title filled me with heaps of joy and a smile tugged on the corners of my lips.
I walked into the mansion as if I hadn't been there in years and it caught Jameson a bit off guard. He wondered about me now but didn't bother to ask questions as he offered me a drink. I refused his offer and went to the living room to sit down and wait for my lover to arrive. I keep my face hidden behind my hair as I played with the ends. Jameson went to carry my luggage upstairs and went to deal with any other things that needed to be dealt with.
Jameson came back to me at sunset and informed me that Alexander would be awaking any moment now and would be delight to meet the wife of Jagger Maxwell. I nodded in agreement and got up from my seat. Just then, I heard footsteps walking down the stairs and looked up from under my hair to see him. Alexander Sterling. He was as handsome as ever in a plain white t shirt and black pants. His long jet black hair had grown out more from the last time I saw him and his chocolate eyes looked lost and sad. I took another deep breath and gracefully walked over to him. I extended my hand towards him and he shook it.
"Alexander Sterling." I took another breath and knew it was the moment of truth. I looked over at the Creepy Man who was still in the room then focused my attention back onto Alexander. "Raven Maxwell."
He gasped in surprised then went expressionless. I yearned for the day that I would actually know what he was thinking. Was he dumbfounded or was he just angry? I would never know and I already had accepted it. Once we decided to release each other's hands, we talked for a few minutes. The conversation was rather awkward but we both knew we would never be the same again. Thankfully, our conversation was ended by the doorbell ringing and my mysterious guy arriving. He walked in and went directly over to us, not bothering with any greeting to the butler. He glared at Alexander a bit and pulled me into his arms.
"Hello, my lover." He wanted to make Alexander jealous and I'm sure he did just that. He locked lips with me and didn't stop until we both heard someone clearing their throat. I pulled away with my cheeks a bright crimson. Jagger just smirked at Alexander as if he had just won a golden prize and that was me.
