VANI-POV

"I need answers dammit" I walked back and forth around the chamber like a manic while thinking a plan to escape from this nightmare...which sadly, I was brained jammed to think of any now...I cannot comprehend the reason for my odd dream which seemed very real in every shape and form.

As soon as I woke up, I noticed that I was alone in this large eerie, gloomy and god forbid cold chamber. Oddly I still could feel strange remnant of that freaky bear's harsh kiss on my lips... "Next time I see him, I'm going to kick the bloody day light out of him" I mentally promised myself.

Bored waiting in this strange room, I ventured out to seek my own answers. The place looked like medieval palace and my adreline just kicked in to my excitement to further explore the place. I always have been a fan of interesting and historic places. While I was exploring the area in night guided by illuminated candles and moon light by the large window frame...I reached to a large door in front of me which increased my interest.

Being a curious creature I am, I peeked into the room, it seems like a huge hall. As I entered the hall, I saw various types of weapons there... from swords, axe and few which I don't know the name of it.

I also become aware of a man with gray hair with athletic build body swinging a sword as if he is the king of the world. I was totally dumbstruck by the man as his sword play was amazing. He moved dangerously yet artistic like. I was further transfixed by the pair of ruby eyes peered my own. Within few seconds, the man that stood few feet away grabbed my hand.

"Kesesese, look what we got here, how did you got here pretty birdie" he cooed to me. I was totally astonished by this sudden behavior...I tried to squirm out of his iron grasp and said "let me go jerk"

He stood solid frozen before he breathed heavily near my ears and said "say something"

I was dumbstruck by this fool in front of me and said "let me go idiot" while struggling to get out of his embrace.

His breathing was uneven, he closed his eyes and purred "I like your voice birdie...it's enticing...say something...anything again" and tighten his grip on my while snaked his other hand to my waist.

I thought "you got to be kidding me...what's up with my voice" and said "Will you let me go if I say anything and something"

He chuckled and said "NO, I WON'T LET YOU GO AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO STOP TALKING"

"Creep" I mentally told myself and started to get a little annoyed with the stranger in front of me. I stood silently in front of the man for few minutes to plot an escape route from this weirdo.

He hissed "don't stop birdie...your voice is like magic to my ears"

I angrily spat "Okay Mr. Creep let me go before I totally pull ninja turtle stunt on you"

He simply smirked at me and said "The awesome me is not Mr. Creep...kesesese...my name is Gilbert Beilschmidt...what's ninja turtle...whatever... what is your name birdie"

I tried to kick him but he evaded and boisterously laughed at me. The entire motion made us fall on to the ground and I was under his body in mere seconds. He positioned his body to entrap mine. He laughed at my futile resistance to escape but eventually his expression darkened as he whispered near my ears "You smell like him... but it won't be long...I'll soon bind you as mine completely" and licked my ear lobe. He cooed "What's your name birdie or I'll give you a new name if you don't have any" he asked me again...

I spat "I don't give my name to weird freakazoids and let me go before I scream...you bloody imbecile"

My started to struggle more and kicked him to release me. My struggle seems to be futile as he became more excited to hold me in his iron grip and laughed again.

As if god sent someone screamed "GILBERT BEILSCHMIDT, LET THE WOMEN GO, SHE DOES NOT BELONG TO YOU...LET HER GO AT THIS MOMENT BROTHER" I turned my head to the direction of the voice and saw a tall blond in front me angrily commanded him to release me.

Soon, they started to talk in a strange language which I don't understand. Their heated argument came to an end as Gilbert caved in to his demand and let me go.

"Kesesese I'll be seeing you soon, birdie" he said and winked at me as he exited the hall. I cringed as his response and backed off from him to show my discomfort.

"Are you hurt...my apologies for my brother's behaviour, milady" the man in front of me asked me with genuine concern as he bowed to me.

"I'm sorry and I'm fine... may I know where am I" I said in a pleading voice.

He said "you are at the Astra Kingdom palace and yesterday the crown prince Ivan Braginski brought you here"

I mentally groaned "I need to see this Ivan to know the full story...I guess" and said "May I meet him" to the stranger.

He smiled and said "actually... he was looking for you...since you were not present at your chamber as you suppose to be" and added "We should be going now as he is very worried about you"

I mentally spanked myself at his response and said "I was bored and tried to explore the new place...my apologies for the inconveniences caused" I drifted...

I staggered as I tried to evade the topic and said "my name is Vani and how should I call you"

He smiled to me and proudly said "Vani, you can call me Ludwig and I'm the advisor for Prince Ivan" and he also added "my apologies again for my brother's behaviour...he is a wild child in the family"

I mentally responded "I can see how wild he was" and said "It was my fault I should not have disturbed his sword exercise" and laugh it off to Ludwig...

Ludwig said "you have very interesting personality and now I can see why the prince likes you"

I was confused at his response as we reached to a huge library like chamber...my attention were diverted towards the grandeur of the chamber. There were many arrays of book rows and a huge table in middle of the room. The man that kissed me seated at the throne like chair and smirked at me.

The man said "Ludwig, you can leave us alone now and thank you for your help".

Ludwig silently bowed to the man and left us alone in this massive chamber.

The man stood up from him chair and walked towards me. To my surprise, he kissed my hand like a gentleman. He almost looked captivating...that is till he started to eerily sounded "kolkolkolkolkol...I think you met a wild wolf along the way here, my kitten"

I only could muster up "How did you know" and thought "He is too intimidating for me to kick the bloody day light out of him...I'll postpone my plan to kick him I guess"

He responded "I can smell him on you"

I mentally groaned "great, what's with people here and their ability to smell... are you guys dogs or what"

He started to encircle me like a hungry wolf and said "I'm Ivan, what's your name kitten"

I simply responded "Vani and don't call me kitten" and asked him "How did I get here"

After an hour of detailed discussion about our situation, we concluded that:-

NO1. Both of us don't know how I get here...technically I was spited out from a red portal... but don't know why I am here

't know how we going to get myself out of this mess *I saw Ivan smirked at me...I concluded that I don't like his smirk*

let others know that I'm a human... which means he needs to come up with a backup plan soon or I will be turned into their next meal...

NO4. Oh did I mention...I'm in the centre of werewolf kingdom and in the bloody werewolf lair...one small mistake and I can kiss goodbye to my body and soul...

NO5...wait...did he just said a blond haired lady with flashy clothing is at another kingdom...I mentally yelled "What the bloody hell... why Alice is here...great... and she is stuck with a vampy prince while I'm with a werewolf...curse our lucky stars above and blast those meteors for it"

I eyed Ivan while thinking "great... I'm stuck with a fur ball...a cute... huge purple eyed puppy which can turn into a werewolf demon and ravage me if he desires"...not that I really minded to be stuck with a hot amethyst eyed demon though...

I asked him "Do you have any plans Ivan and how can I stay here without causing any trouble to anyone".

He smiled at me and said "we will discuss about this tomorrow and for now, you need rest"

I decided that I don't like his smile as it's screamed "I'm up to no good or I'm bad boy baby"

By end of the night I was forced to stay at the same chamber with him. He said it is necessary to protect me from unwanted peasants. I also shared his massive queen sized bed which I occupied the very end corner of it. He said "I will not violate you without your permission and I keep my word". I said "You better be" and drifted to sleep.

By morning I noticed that I cuddled to him. I observed his big body build and enjoyed his body heat. I also took pleasure in his fresh lemon smell and experimentally placed my palm on to his...his palm is definitely bigger than mine...I mentally pictured how would it feel like...if he decides ran his hand on my body... My curiosity got the better of me again as I touched his pale bleach blond hair...as my fingers ran through his hair...I became aware of its silky softness...my index finger wondered to his face, I touched his eye brow, eye lashes, nose and I finally looked at his lips. Without thinking twice, I touched his lips and it felt warm and soft. I recalled my first kiss stolen by him.

"Wow...big mistake" I mentally cursed my idiocy and quickly get up of the bed. The moment I get out of the bed, Ivan cheerily said "Good Morning Vani"

My heart beat almost ceased for a second and I said "g-g-good morning Ivan, when did you woke up"

He smirked at me and child likely said "when you decided to play with my body"

I looked at him like a deer caught in the head light while I mentally yelled "crap...VANI WILLIAMS, YOU'RE IN DEEP TROUBLE YOUNG LADY" and felt heat rise up to my cheeks.

.

IVAN-POV

Her touch has ignited something that I did not aware that I am capable of experiencing.

What kind of fool would I be if I woke up as she snuggled close to me...

I watched her toying with my palm but closed my eyes briefly as she wondered her hands to my hair and rest of my face. I felt tingle of excitement surged through my spine as she touched my lips and parted her own slightly.

I almost took her there and then if I wasn't patient enough or if it wasn't for the silly promised that I made to her yesterday night.

"When I have her consent I definitely will not show her any mercy and will pound her into my bed" I mentally promised myself as her slender finger glide through my lips.

I almost growled out of frustration as she get of the bed. She worn the white night gown that I gave her yesterday which exposed all her hidden curves. I playfully said "Good morning Vani" just to see her reactions. Her reactions were priceless as she blushed and stammered in front of me.

.

IVAN-POV

I gave my ring to her and asked her to wear it. She initially opposed to it but I persuaded her that it as a protection charm.

To tell the truth, the purpose of the ring is to bind her as my mate and to protect her. It's the second step of the bonding process. First step is to kiss her, which I already did. Third step would be sex and finally the fourth step is the blood bond between us. I let her know about it when the time is right...

"As soon as I bind her as my mate, no one can take her from me, not even that Gilbert" I mentally growl remembering his smell on her. It's repulsive and I will rip his heart out if he ever nears her. I don't even care if he is my father's favourite military general.

Today, I met my father King Winter and spoke to him about my mate. He opposed my choice of mate but I gained his approval by saying "I will not take any other demons and I will convert her as one of us in due time" and promised to have my children with her soon.

Now that I gained the king's permission, my only concern would be my ½ sister Natalia. I love her as a sister but she can be very intense in displaying her affection to me. I shivered even at her thought of affection.

.

GILBERT-POV

"She supposed to be mine...not yours wolfy...her voice...her eyes...her lips and she herself belongs to me...DAMN IVAN BRAGINSKI...I'LL STEAL HER FROM YOU PERMANENTLY"

While I was begrudgingly thought about the earlier incident today at the King's court, I was surprised by a black mirage at my mirror.

It said "I am the one that brought her here for you not for Ivan"... "If you are wise enough you will accept my assistance to capture the lady of your dreams"..."Do you want to have a deal with me, Gilbert Beilschmidt?"

I breathed out "Yes, I will as I wanted her to be mine and mine only", I knew the shadow and I know to whom it belongs to. It's...

She chuckled "So be it Gilbert Beilschmidt, she is at east side of the palace...Ivan will be out till sundown...use your opportunity wisely" with that statement the shadow from the mirror disappeared.

...

As I entered her chamber, I saw my birdie sleeping soundly in her bed. I scooped her up in bridal style and transported to my mansion using my wind familiar.

I cooed "we will be together soon birdie" near her ears and placed her safely in my bed.

All I need to do is to wait her to wake up.

IVAN-POV

I am giddy with anticipation to tell Vani the good news.

"BEFORE THAT I NEED TO BREAK THE NEWS ABOUT SHE BEING MY FUTURE MATE AND MOTHER TO MY CHILDREN" I mentally rejoyce to myself.

anyway who could resist the charm of a wolf price...

.

.

My excitement shattered as I entered my empty chamber. She was not at her chamber. her smell or presence was not available at the palace.

most importantly, her smell was inter-mingled the wild wolf that I hated the most in this chamber. this is only lead that I have to find her before he takes her from me forever.

I suddenly panic stricken at the thought of her not being in this boring palace.

My meaningless life flashed in front of me without her by my side.

I roared "VANIIIIIIIIIIIII" I VOWED TO GET BACK MY DESTINED MATE AT ANY COST...

VANI-POV

.

I woke yet at another unfamiliar place. "Did Ivan did this to me" I mentally asked myself before getting up.

"You're a real lazy cat, do you know that birdie"...

I recognised that voice...I yelped "Gilbert"

"I love it when you say my name" he said with his shenanigan smile.

"Why am I here" I asked him as composed as possible while my heart screamed bloody hell...

"Birdie, I want to bond with you for eternity...you're my destined mate not that damn wolf's" he said

I spat "Surprise...surprise...last time I checked, you're in his clan, which makes you a wolf as well"

His expression darkened and he said "I'm different,"

I replied "an eternity with me is not a wise choice as I'm not easy to handle"

He smirked and said "We can fixed that"

As he walked near me, A huge gray wolf out of know where bust in from the window behind me and attacked him.

Gilbert himself transformed into silver wolf and attacked it. Both battled each other till they transformed in human form again. They fought till they throw themselves outside of the mansion. They are at the garden now and trying their best to kill the opposite party. Blood was splattered everywhere.

I gasped to see Ivan and Gilbert. Their eyes were bloodshot. They used their familiars to battle as well.

My breathing almost stopped to see Gilbert appearing from my back and hold me captive.

Ivan screamed "you're not getting away with this Gilbert, give her back to me"

Gilbert spat back "She brought her here to be mine, not yours...you can't take her away from me ... try if you can...wolf"

My mind and body screamed "Let me go" I could sense huge electric like power ripped trough me and soon I lost my consciousness.
