Chapter 10: Men

3 Hours Later

Edward nocked on my door. I had gotten up two hours earlier my eyes swollen to get ready for the day. Rini and Endy had woken up only about half an hour ago and were running around.

I answered the door, a smile on my face.

"How are you...I know its sudden...but I was wondering if you would like to meet my sister...she heard about the wedding and she wants to meet you." His nervous smile had me laughing.

"So soon?" He nodded.

"News travels through the winds to her." I nodded agreeing to meet her at noon. I wasn't sure if I should bring Endy and Rini with me, but he assured me that it would be completely fine. That his mother wanted to know all of us. And since the children were so adorable, he was certain she would love them.

I avoided the quarters where Endymion and his companions were lounging in, pleading one of the other maids to take those room and I would take theirs.

I heard a bunch of maids comment of the beautiful men and women taking refuge there. And on the especially single dark prince who kept giving them sideways glances everytime they entered the room.

I left the palace an hour before noon to get myself and the kids ready for the evening. I had every intention of returning back by night fall to finish the minor works.

Rini and Endy bathed together then commenced with dressing while I bathed. I came out of the bath to find them a complete mess. Rini was wearing half her cloths half Endy's cloths and he was unable to place his cloths on the right way.

I struggled to fix their cloths knowing that Edward was on his way to pick us up. A nock on the door had me jumping. I quickly finished fixing their cloths and was about to wear mine, but decided to get the door and have Edward watch them while I clothed.

I opened the door and held my breath in.

Instead of Edward, Edymion stood there.

His eyes were fixed on my barely clothed body, wet hair and wet skin. I blushed and moved the towel further up my bother to conceal myself from him.

He was about to smile when his eyes landed on the two figures behind me. Two figures that looked dressed up and ready for some special event.

His face went dark.

"Are you getting married today?" The roar left his mouth and had both Rini and Endy staring up at him wide eyed. I looked at him, slightly annoyed at his show of anger in front of them. I was about to slam the door in front of his face when Edward came up.

"Not today, but soon enough. Serena are you ready yet?" I forced my eyes away from Endymion to look at him and shake my head at him.

"Give me a minute." I forced my eyes back at Endymion clearly warning him to be nice. I did not want to leave them there alone. Endymion was an immortal and Edward was human...he could kill him...but he wouldn't. I knew he wouldn't...I hoped.

I returned in the room to change cloths quickly before coming back out with Endy and Rini. To find Endymiona and Edward held up in a glaring contest.

"Mother...if you marry Edward, does that make him out father?" Endy's question sent both men's eyes from each other to me. I shrank back, not certain of the answer.

I could not deny Endymion the right to fatherhood...but neither could I refuse Edward the right to a family he so rightly deserved.

"Hopefully when your mother and I marry, you all will be mine to love and care for." Edward replied looking into my eyes with a smile in his.

"Not if I can help it." Endymion replied staring in my eyes determinedly. The passion and determination in his eyes had me shivering and returning my nervous gaze back to Edward's much more calmer and peaceful one.

He was not going to give us up. He was determined to have me and his children back...but he would have to sacrifice his people for me...and I could not be that selfish.

Edward and I took a short ride to his sister's mansion in the cubicle he had prepared for us. Thankfully Rini and Endy were too busy playing around and did not raise any questions concerning the previous events that had occurred.

I found myself grateful for their distraction and relished in the understanding comfort that Edward offered by not raising any more pressing questions about my seemingly strange 'relationship' with Endymion...the Dark Lord.

Edward's sister was a kind soul. She had the presence of a goddess, sitting in a beautiful tea parlor clad in all white. Her red hair flowing behind her like a stream of fire.

She looked at me, and even before I offered my greeting she smiled, kissing me on the cheeks lightly.

"My, Edward. You were right. She is a special one." I blushed seeing a smile engulf Edward's face as he introduced me to his sister Annabelle. Edward's sister was a true beauty. Her dark auburn hair fell around her face in a relaxed fashion.

There was no sign of wrinkles anywhere on her face. Her skin was as smooth as porcelain, her voice as soft as a siren's. I couldn't help but listen to her passionately.

She adored Rini and Endy...but rather from a distant. I could tell that she did not truly like their presence, but was never-the-less attempting to be courteous around them. I did not like that fact.

Nor did Rini and Endy. They were quite for the most part, but I could tell they were uncomfortable with her and they did not like her presence any more than she did theirs.

By the end of the evening, Annabelle or Bella, and I were practically best friends. She was a kind and understanding woman. Far too understanding for my comfort to be honest.

I knew she fully understood my situation. And from the way she kept her assertive eyes on the twins, I could tell that she knew they weren't Edward's and that whomever's they were...was still making his presence known in my life.

I did not want to cheat her brother. But I could not refuse nor refute what had happened in my past. I would not want to.

"How old are your children dear?" Edward had left to attend to a situation in his office. A maid had arrived informing him that he had a visitor. His sister had immediately ordered him out to take care of the "nuisance"

"We'll be eight soon." Rini answered, not meeting the woman's eyes as she spoke.

"And who's their father?" I could feel both Rini and Endy's eyes on me, waiting for me to admit outloud the one thing I did not want to have to face.

A loud crashing sound from upstairs had us all turning towards the door Edward had gone through.

I turned around to look at Bella...she was gone. I sprang up and turned to towards the door already heading that way when I saw her opening the door and stepping out.

I hadn't seen her walk by me, nor had I heard the door open...but now she was gone.

I got up and followed her, the twins behind me. Bella moved like air, I did not hear her footsteps at all, I just saw her in front of me one moment, then a few paces away the next.

I did not think to question her supernatural movements. I had experienced too much unnatural in my life to question anything strange.

Besides,it was highly unlikely that Edward was supernatural. He was the most normal man I have ever met.

We arrived to Edward's office to find him up against the wall with Endymion's hands wrapped about his throat. Edward's face was turning a variety of shades.

Appalled, I just stood at the entrance frozen in fear.

"What is the meaning of this?" My voice came out a mere whisper. But Endymion and Edward both took notice. Endymion's hands tightened on Edward's throat.

"Release him...Let him go now you egoistical pig-headed...fool." I screamed. Endymion gave a final squeeze then released Edward who went sliding to the ground. His sister appearing besides him crouching to check on him. I looked at Endymion satisfied that his sister would look after him while I dealt with this...

"Why are you here?" I glared at him.

"I came to talk to that...but the arrogant fool has a tongue that is beyond my capability to deal with." Endymion moved closer to me, I took a step back knowing full well that he was about to embrace me and in the process shattering every wall I had erected against him.

"You do not need to talk to him. You have ruined my evening, possibly injured Edward...Endymion please leave." I murmured.

"I will not leave...not without you." His voice was strong, determined and definite. I glared up at him waiting, then heard Edward's dry cough. I stool a glance his way and saw his head resting on his sister's lap as she soothingly calmed him. I sighed and turned away, making sure to somehow thank both Edward and his sister as well as apologize for Endymion's idiotic behavior.

I did not speak to him. I simply marched downstairs, stomping to get to Endy and Rini in the waiting room.

All the while Endymion kept pace with me, without even trying to. I took Endy but he had Rini at hand before I could get her.

Meeting his eyes, I saw the resolution embedded in his gaze and glowered accepting that momentary defeat. I just wanted to be back at the safety of the church and in the comfort of my bed.

I marched out of Edward's mansion entering into the waiting carriage. Endymion sliding in after handing me Rini.

"You should have known better." He murmured after a while. I ignored him, keeping my eyes on the twins as they played across from each other.

"I warned you not to play with me. I will not relinquish my claim on you." He said fully staring at me, then at the twins.

"We are not yours to relinquish." I spat back at him.

"Don't play at that. You and the children are mine...and I will die before I loose you to another man." His voice became cold, angry and determined. Both Rini and Endy stopped their playing to look at his darkening face, then turn towards mine.

"We shall see about that. I love Edward, and I intend to marry him, despite your interference."

"We shall not see about anything. You neither love him, nor will you give my children away to another man Serenity. If you are so bend on leaving me then leave. but My Children stay." His rage rippled through the small space of the carriage and hit me like a cold gust of wind.

I wanted to glare at him, but before I could regain my focus he was gone, and so was Rini and Endy. Panic strode me. I nearly stopped breathing when Endymion's voice broke through my mind.

Calm down... I am not kidding. I have no intention of loosing my children to another man... We need to talk.

I sighed, still frustrated but calmed now.

He sent me an image of where he was with the kids. He was back at the palace. Just a few hours ride away.

I instructed the driver to head for the palace instead.
