I know I have many other stories that need to be finished but I just had to right this one down.
Summary: Mixie Drache is your average non popular girl, expect for the fact that she her is her interfering grandmother, her cousin is a daybreaker, her best friend is 100% human and is half shapeshifter herself. But that was nothing compared to when she found her soulmate.
Prologue
*****180 years ago*****
The second thing that Helix knew was that her name was Elizabeth Doose; the first thing he knew was that he loved her. He didn't need to say he loved her unconditionally, more than life itself and so much that he'd die for her because saying 'I love you' was enough for the both of them.
Currently they were in the gardens behind the mansion leaning against a tree.
"When will you speak to your father?" She asked and he sighed. This was a topic he had wanted to avoid but something she kept bringing up.
"The moments not right Eliza." He said for the hundredth time.
"When will the moment he right as you say. When I getting married to the Count or after it happens."
"You know I love dramatic proclamations of love." He said with a smile, one reserved only for her.
"This is not the time. I ask for only one thing and yet you seem unable."
"Father will find you unfit. He may resort to activities I will not describe." His father would most probably hire someone to destroy her, and well let's say that doesn't necessarily mean death.
"Do you wish me to be married to Alexander?" his heart broke at her face.
"Of course not."
"Well that's what it's seems like!" She suddenly became angry and stood up.
"You know that is not true."
"You don't act it."
"We are soulmates Liz. That should be enough."
"Then how can you see your soulmate married to another." She shouted and ran away. He knew she was crying but also that he going now would cause her more distress. The only thing now was to go to his father. He was happy when he had fed.
***Redfern Mansion****
"No." His father said in front of him.
"But father you dislike the Wolves why would you want them to have her." Helix strategized.
"But the others love them. I cannot let my decision sway the decisions. Why do you care about her anyway?"
"Well, it's just, the problem is." Helix stopped and gathered his courage. "He is not deserving of her. She is delicate and kind. His is everything she is not."
"That is not our concern." 'It is mine.' He thought.
His father mouth changed into a smirk
"Do you love her?" Helix's eyes grew dark at his father's question and the implication behind it.
"Leave her alone." He growled his fangs lengthening.
"But child I have done nothing." He father laughed. Helix turned at walked out of the throne room while hearing his father sending a messenger to the Count's home.
***Elizabeth***
Elizabeth stood at the altar letting go of her father's hand. 'The marriage would make her father happy' was what she had told herself, and was how she got so far. Her mother had left her at a young age and her father made as much money as he could by driving the stagecoach for the king.
That was how Count Alexander had met her; she had been helping the Queen exit the coach and he had been entranced by her beauty. She had paid no attention to him and was much in love with the prince Helix.
It had been two days since the argument and from then she hadn't heard from or even seen Helix. According to the queen he had locked himself in his room.
Now she was standing in her white dress and holding the hand of the person that loved her but she did not love back.
"If anyone can think of any reason why these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace." The minister said and there was no noise expect for the beating of her heart and the flicker of the soulmate principle.
The minister asked Alexander as he agreed but when it came to her she knew what she had to do. "No." She said quietly.
"What did you say?" Alexander hissed grabbing onto her wrist.
The doors blasted open and there was just some dust. She could see red eyes and knew everything would be alright.
"I think the lady asked you to let go." Helix said separating the two hands and then pushing Alexander onto the carved wall, pieces of rubble fell off.
"What lady? You think that it's a secret. Even I know what you've been up to." Alexander growled.
"I suggest you know you're place." Helix said reverting to his 'cool' nature.
"My place is as her husband. She is my wife." Alexander choked Helix against the wall so quick she barely had time to blink.
Don't do it Helix's voice came but she ignored him.
"Stop it!" she shouted and all eyes turned to her.
"Be quiet whore." Alexander said back, but Helix got want he wanted and pushed Alexander to the floor and set his shoe on his neck. A few people stood up and other cheered the fight.
"Don't call her that." Helix hissed.
"Helix, maybe it's time to let him up." Someone from the crowd said. It wasn't the king. This boy looked eighteen or so but his eyes looked like he experienced everything.
"He called her a whore, Thierry." Helix said pushing down on his foot.
Elizabeth could take no more and ran to the podium. "Everyone stop. My prince let him up I implore you. Count I cannot marry you, you have stained my honour I for that you cannot be forgiven. This is supposed to be the happiest day of my life, but what is happy about this I ask you?" she looked at the crowded with pleading eyes.
"When I was asked for my hand I ask for time to think, people squabbled over my decision saying that it was the perfect match and after a few days I relented. But I cannot since I have given my heart to another, someone that refuses to return it back to me. To add insult to injury I do not wish to have it back, because it was be hypocritical to have to yet the one I love has none. I am much sorry Count but I cannot marry you, I think I may never be married."
"Whore." Alexander repeated in a raspy voice. "You think I was stupid enough to come her unprepared. I know you wouldn't have married me but I took precautions. Look to your father."
Elizabeth turned to see a knife held to her father neck and a tear ran down her cheek.
"Mother how could you." Helix asked.
"Child I may have turned a blind eye to few of your exploits but when Alexander came to me I gave it thought. You could do so much better."
"Trust me mother I cannot."
"You are young."
"I am nineteen."
"And will live for many years. She however will shrivel and die."
"I'll change her." He said stunning Elizabeth. Did she want to turn into a vampire?
"Think about what you just said." Someone quietly said but his voice was so cold that she shivered.
"Shut up Quinn." Helix hissed.
"You will not change her." Alexander said stamping his foot. "I want her human not a bloodsucker."
"Then leave her."
"If I can't have her nor can you." Something gleamed in his hand and then the entire world went blank. The last thing she knew was that the silver cord was still strong even when she closed her eyes.
