Violets' POV

I woke up 2 hours after falling asleep, feeling restless because my mate was right next to me sleeping soundly. After watching her dreaming peacefully for an hour I'd come to my decision. I smartened myself up a bit, again, being as silent as possible so I didn't wake Thorn. The gaunt moon was high in the night sky, beckoning me to satisfy my thirst. I could feel myself getting stronger and my suppressed vampire was getting harder to keep within, my gums already starting to writhe with my new, more vicious teeth pushing through. Boy was I thirsty.

I mind linked the closest members of my coven and my father to come and meet me at our feeding place. They were all awake already which didn't come as a surprise to me, we don't need much sleep, if any. Our coven was at Bleakshadow woods within two minutes, and seeing them all made me realise that I was actually so nervous for this coven meeting, even though I was never nervous for them, after all, I was second in command after my father.

Our hunting teeth had already broken through by now, and we knew that before we could being the meeting formally we would have to feed; our vampires were turning needy and if we didn't feed soon we would turn to larger prey and let them take over.. This could result in a dead town by morning. Not the greatest idea if we wanted to keep our high coven status among the other covens.

"Let's feed" I growled out, and within 2 seconds everyone was in different directions, each catching their own prey and their own meal. Catching a tasty scent I set off to the East, finding a large male deer, and going in for the kill before it had the chance to even try to escape. Not that they would ever be able to outrun our kind. We were merciful though, not putting them through any pain.

I crashed in from the side, sinking my teeth into its throat- the vital shot. In 5 seconds I was down on the floor, laying it down so I could drain the blood comfortably, enjoying the familiar taste of the metallic, warm liquid sliding over my tongue and down my throat, making me feel stronger with every gulp. After I had taken all the blood from my kill I retracted from its throat, causing the thick blood to trickle down from my lips. I wiped the addictive taste from my mouth and buried the deer so that no one would come across something so suspicious.

I called the coven over to our meeting point once I had confirmation from all of them that they had buried their finished prey and started on how I would tell them about Thorn. We all sat in a rough circle and used one of our blue flame spells as a light source in the middle. (We had a few mage vampires in our coven.)

My father was the first one to speak up.

"You've found your mate haven't you," he stated briefly. "I can feel it."

"Yes.. I have. Her name is Thorn."
A couple of gasps from my members escaped. Venom was the first to wolf whistle, followed by a few other males. Horny little buggers they are. There was only one other female in our coven, and that was Crowe. Crowe always envied the fact I was second in command, she craved every ounce of attention she could get and hated that people would listen to me. And oh yeah, she was convinced I was her mate. She'd been to extreme lengths to try and win me over. She was a heartless killer. I'd had people flirting with me before, and within days, each had mysteriously disappeared. We all knew it was her. She was confined for 5 weeks, her blood was brought to her and I let her know that she definitely had no chance in my own little way. With help from the mages in the coven, of course. I sent her a bouquet of flowers, with a note that read "I will be with you until they die." so we casted a spell on them to make them wilt as soon as she touched them. And I gave her a box of chocolates that made her smell like sewage for a whole week no matter how much she washed. Not that it was much of a change to what she normally smelled like anyway.

Anyway. Crowe heard about the coven meeting and insisted on coming too, even though she wasn't a high ranking in the coven whatsoever. As soon as Thorn was mentioned I could see her grip tightening on her thighs, ripping through her jeans with her long, dirty fingernails. I could see Jett trying to restrict her as her vampire was starting to lose control and she was beginning to be taken over. "Jett. I think it's best you took Crowe back home, she needs to calm down." My father ordered, and Jett put Crowe over his shoulder and sped off to our main coven home.

All eyes returned to me again.

"So when are you going to change her? How far into the process are you?" Father questioned, trying to show his authority but we all knew he was a big softie for me.

"Maybe in a couple of weeks? We've already started the bonding.. We made love. We had our first vision last night." I admitted, blushing slightly at the vivid dream we had.

"What was the vision Violet?" Father asked, the edges of his mouth forming a slight grin as his eyes perked up with a hint of excitement, all the guys leaning in a little more, also excited about the vision.

"A.. A wedding. We saw our wedding." I gushed, making everyone cheer and bundle on top of me to show they were proud. After a couple of minutes the excitement died down to a little buzzing tension in the air as my father called everyone to a hush to continue with the meeting.

"And when do you plan on the proposal?"
"A few days perhaps. We need to build on us and get used to eachother a little more first." I replied, sitting on Shade's lap as he comforted me. I was always closest to Shade even though they all considered me as a sister... brother.. type figure.

"Bring her to her first coven meeting tomorrow night. Make sure she's prepared Violet." Father ordered, and we all stood and said our goodbyes for the night and parted.

Within 2 minutes I was back with my Thorn again, after what felt like an eternity apart from her. I brushed my teeth to get the taste out of my mouth and changed into nothing but a jumper so I was fresh as new. I gently looped my arm into Thorns' and placed myself inches away from her beautiful face. And for the rest of the night, I watched her sleeping sweetly, and smiled every time she made those adorable little noises in her throat while she dreamt. And I came to realise that in the space of 48 hours my life had changed completely. I didn't depend on anyone before, yet now I didn't want to spend more than 10 minutes apart from my mate, I needed her more than I'd needed anything in my life. Even blood. My vampire craved her every second, needing to know she was safe. And when I was with her I could keep my eyes off her, it seemed like every time I looked at her she got even more impossibly beautiful, and sometimes I even forgot to breathe. I couldn't even get enough of her perfect scent; every time I touched her it came off her even stronger, sending my senses crazy. Hell, she even looked impossibly perfect when she was just waking up and all groggy from her sleep and her hair sticking out how she wouldn't want it to be and the whole zombiefied look going on. But even more than all of this, she was such an amazing person. And I knew for a fact she'd make an amazing coven leader with me. There were no doubts in my mind that this was the woman I wanted to spend eternity with.
