I did my best to make this one a little bit longer than the others and I hope everyone is satisified, that really matters to me. Anyway, I hpe everyone enjoys this and has as much fun reading it as I had writing it.


Chapter 4 - Vacation plans hindered

Darien stood proud and tall, unaffected by the cold air, they had beaten the witches to the Alps and would be there to greet them, or so to speak.
He had checked the males of his pack in a resort hotel for the day to reward them for their effort and he himself would wait here for his mate and her cousin, he couldn't wait to see the look on her face when she saw the wolf she had rejected and found she could never escape him, that she could never escape fate and destiny, that no one could.
He could feel Serena's presence now, they had landed a little bit ago as to not reveal themselves to the public as witches, no doubt they had gotten a cab or something, but it wouldn't matter, nothing could keep him away, nothing.
He stepped back beneath the shadows of the hotel and waited for the witches as their vehicle pulled up, he sent a mental message to Kunzite to be ready behind them once they emerged from the vehicle, Darien wasn't in the mood for a chase.
He saw her then, as beautiful as before, oh how he wanted her, wanted to hold her, love her and pamper her as every male should their mate, but that would wait a little while till she had learned her lesson for running from him.
He saw Kunzite step into place behind them and then Darien came into Serena's view, he smirked at her startled expression when she noticed him and then Kunzite behind them.
"Mina" Serena said, clutching her cousins sleeve "We're trapped, but how did they find us?".
"I can smell you, my darling, you are my mate, my other half, I could follow your scent to the ends of the earth and also my love, I am not a werewolf to be trifled with, you made a mistake when you rejected me".
"I don't know you!" Serena exclaimed "And I will accept something as this, I did not choose it for myself, therefore it is not mine!".
"Your right, it isn't, it's ours!" Darien snarled at her, angry at now being verbally rejected.
"Serena" Mina whispered fearfully "Don't make him angry, he could rip us to shreds!".
Darien ignored the other blonde witch and directed his attention to Serena "You will come back with me to my penthouse in the Alps and then tomorrow, we will return to my home and begin our life together as mates".
"No!" Serena shouted "I don't want this and I don't want you!".
"You have no choice, love" Darien whispered softly "Fate has bound our souls and we shall be together forever".
Serena could only stare at him, what in the world was she supposed to do now, that creep had followed her to her getaway and now planned to basically kidnap her and then a thought struck her, fear clouded her insides '"What about Mina?".
Serena was so worried about her cousin, she had not noticed that night had fallen and the moon had risen, and also that Kunzite had left them and gone to Darien's side, and was now whispering in his ear.
"Your cousin will be with her own mate, Kunzite has revealed to me that he has recognized her as his mate" Darien said, looking very pleased "This is good news, we were beginning to fear that most of our males would not find their mates and we would be faced with near extinction".
Serena and Mina held each other tightly, both against the cold and against their mutual fear.
What was going to happen? Would everything turn out alright or would this be their end as they knew it? Only time would tell now and the two witches weren't sure they had time on their side as of now, nothing was certain now.

Serena and Mina sat together quietly in the parlor of Darien's swank suite, who knew he was so damn worldly and filthy rich that he had his own private suite in a hotel in the Alps reserved only for the rich and famous.
"I'm scared, Duckie" Serena whispered, cuddeling the grey cat close to her chest.
"I am only annoyed at the stench of mutt" Duckie groaned "They got all wet in the snow and nothing smells worse than wet dogs and even worse, werewolves".
"Quiet feline!" Jedite growled at he cat "I haven't eaten today and kitty sounds pretty good!".
Serena's eyes narrowed at the mention of the blonde werewolf wanting to eat her cat "Ignius Incente".
Jedite howled in pain as he lurched away from the witches and the cat as flames began to lick at his pant leg.
"Don't threaten Duckie" Serena warned him in a low tone "Ever".
Darien walked into the room then, smiling and looking very amused "You Kinda got what you deserved Jedite".
Jedite snorted rudely and exited the room.
"You heard everything?" Mina asked.
"Yes, I did" Darien said "And your mate will be here for you shortly, dear, he mentioned wanting to greet you with roses".
Mina clung to her cousins sleeve "But I don't want to be anyone's mate, not unless it is a mutual decision".
Not another word was able to be spoken then as Kunzite entered the room with a dozen roses in his arms, and a bright smile directed at Mina.
Mina blushed when she saw the handsome white haired werewolf and the roses, Kunzite seemed to be quite a romantic.
Serena elbowed her cousin in the side to remind her that they were not here as of their own choice, they were brought here against their will.
"I know" Mina whispered to Serena "But he is really cute though, can I at least talk with him?".
Serena gaped at her and looked shocked and insulted as her cousin stood and went to Kunzite, the two then exiting the room.
She looked up at Darien who looked as though he were expecting something "Oh no, don't you dare even try to expect the same from me, I want nothing to do with you".
Darien chuckled softly "We will see about that, my dear, we will see".


I hope you all liked that, I was real surprised on how these four chapters so far have not taken me very long to write, that just goes to show you that the proper motivation from ones readers does a lot to boost the writers confidence. I love you all so much!
