(It is now spring and it's been a while since the night I made Himeko my mate. Those vampires kept true to what they said, after that night they have done everything they could to keep me away from my mate. It doesn't help that they have her father on their side and that no one knows the rules of wolves here. Not that it would matter after all Himeko was still under the human rules. Before Souma started spending every second of every day with My Himeko…we both decided that we would live as humans. That is until the human way of life threatens our relationship, as mates or in her case lovers. I was fine with this after all I loved the human way of kissing anyway, but I was getting really irritated by how that stupid vampire was becoming so friendly with My mate.)

"Chikane is that you?" A soft voice asked, as I snapped out of it and looked up from were I was sitting.

"Amaya?" I softly spoke, as I stood up from my spot under a tree and bowed to her.

She smiled warmly at me, as I slowly stood up but kept my head lowered to her.

"You're still so polite…but why aren't you with my daughter. After all I know she is your mate and I thought wolves never leave their mates side." She smiled, as I sighed.

Her mother was the first to find out about me making Himeko my mate and ever since she's been having fun teasing both of us about it.

"That's true…but we aren't in my world and in hers…well…" I stopped, as I looked over at the tree I had been watching.

She looked and saw Souma and Himeko sitting under that tree talking.

"I see. It would seem my husband is still determined on Souma as Himeko's husband…" She softly spoke, as I sighed.

I wanted so badly to go over there and rip out his throat and take my Himeko away, but I was still human and I had to live by their rules.

"Chikane wait here…" She smiled, as I looked at her confused.

She soon left my side and walked over to where my mate and that vampire where. I stared at her in shock, as I listened to what she was saying.

"Souma would you and your friends come with me…I need your help with something." Himeko's mother calmly asked.

Her tone was still warm sounding, but it sounded different than when she was talking to me.

"As you wish…queen Amaya." Souma calmly answered.

He rose to his feet and the other three vampires came out of there places.

Once they were all at her side she walked away and they all had to follow, after all like me they too had to obey human rules. Himeko's mother was the queen and it would be a huge mistake to disobey her and I wasn't the only one who knew that, so did those stupid vampires.

Once they were gone and I could smell any of them I went over to where my Himeko was still sitting.

"I have to remember to thank your mother." I smiled, as Himeko looked up and warmly smiled at me.

I went and took Souma's place under the tree, as I felt myself already feel relaxed and happy.

"So…is he behaving?" I softly asked, as I lowered my head.

I could feel my face heat up in a light blush; after all I could only watch them when Reiko and the other vampires wouldn't get in my way. I froze and looked down at my hand when I felt something warm rest on it. I was happy to see it was Himeko's hand and looked up at her smiling face.

"He is…do not worry my wolf. I won't let him misbehave…you're the only one who can." Himeko shyly spoke.

I saw her face turn a dark red. I smiled and was happy to hear it, after all the only time I really could see her was at night. But her father was starting to even take that away from me and I was relived to here she was safe.

"Really…" I teased, as I went and moved closer to her.

I stopped with our faces only inches away from each other and our lips barely touching.

"That's nice to know." I whispered, as I saw her close her beautiful violet eyes.

I went and kissed those warm soft lips of hers, as I too closed my eyes. I slowly deepen the kiss and was enjoying the feeling of warmth her lips were giving me, but I could feel that I had token away from breath. So I slowly pulled away and allowed my beautiful Himeko to catch her breath, as I smiled.

I went and pulled back some of her golden blonde hair that I had fallen lose while we shared that kiss. After I pulled her hair behind her ear I was going to pull away, but stopped when she placed her hand over mine keeping it right were it was. Her face was still scarlet red, but she looked so cute and to top it off her smile was as bright, as the sun it's self.

'Himeko…' I thought with a smile.

'How did I get so lucky…how did I find a mate like you.' I happily thought, as I moved my hand from her face and in tangled my fingers through hers.

I went and placed a kiss on her warm forehead and slowly pulled away, as we both soon started to talk and enjoy the time we had before reality got back in the way.

Later.

It was early night now and I was walking around making sure to keep my distance from them. Once again my time from Himeko was stolen it didn't take long for the vampires to return and they interrupted our time. Souma had led Himeko away from me while Kazuki followed them. While they walked away Reiko and her mate Korona led me away in the opposite direction they both were talking to me, as I sighed.

After they did that I was stuck with having both of them watching me and there was no way for me to go near Himeko.

"So you're watching from the shadows again?" I froze and looked to see Himeko's mother walking along side me.

I bowed to her and kept my head lowered, as we kept walking.

"Yes…By the way thank you so much for leading them away…" I calmly said.

I could feel her warm gaze on me along with her smile, so much like my Himeko.

"It was my pleasure…So has he done anything?"

"No…but I still will be watching him." I growled, as I heard her laugh.

"My daughter is lucky to have such an over protective wolf." She teased.

While I felt my face heat up light at her words.

"Are the others here too?" She softly asked.

"Yes…they always are. I'm just glad that none of them are talking to me…or leading me away." I sighed, as I wanted so much to be the one walking at Himeko's side.

"I see. I am sorry that my husband is causing so many problems…he just wants what's best for Himeko."

"Why? He has never cared about her before…why is he starting now?" I asked.

"I know…Chikane would you like to know something…about Himeko's father." Amaya softly asked, as I nodded my head yes and made sure to listen.

"Himeko's father…he had a younger sister. She not only looked like Himeko but she also acted like her…" She stopped, as I went and looked up at her.

"But than why? Why would he treat her like he does?" I calmly asked.

"Chikane…Isao's sister is the reason why he hates wolves and why he treats Himeko the way he does. One day when he was 15 years old him and his father returned from a hunt he found his mother crying. She told them both that his sister had run away and she didn't know what to do…Isao quickly got back on his horse and went out to look for his little sister. It took him a whole week before he found her in the woods…it these woods." She stopped, as she looked out at my woods.

"She was sitting under a tree with someone else…he couldn't really tell who the other person was all he knew was that he had found his little sister and wanted to bring her back. But when he got closer both of them froze and stood up. He too froze after all he didn't want her to run away again, and he wanted to see what they were going to do. He heard the other person say something and then he saw them slowly change into a wolf…" She stopped and looked at me.

I was beyond surprised, 'Some one from my bloodline..' I thought, as I waited for her to continue with the story.

"He watched, as his sister hug the wolf, as it soon took off and she returned to a small house…when he went over to what looked to be her home. She was shocked that he had been able to find her and when he tried to convince her to return with him…she said no. She told him that this was her home and that she would never returned to the palace. He asked why and she simply answered that she would never leave her wolf… Hearing her say that angered him and he told her he would find that wolf and kill it, if she did not return with him. She simply answered that if he tried to kill her wolf he would have to go through her. Isao was extremely close to his younger sister and for her to choose a wolf over him enraged him." She stopped and was looking me once again.

"What happened?" I asked, as she sighed.

"In the end…he went after that wolf and just like she told him he had to go through her to kill it…"

"He killed his sister?"

"Yes…he went and was going to stab the already near death wolf and…well he doesn't even remember when he delivered the killing blow, but when he regain control of him self. She was over the now dead wolf…her face once so warm was freezing cold and pale, as he saw her blood on his sword." She stopped, as I lowered my head.

"I see…but that gives him no right to treat Himeko the way he does." I calmly said, as I heard the queen sigh.

"That's very true…I tell him that all the time, but when he see's Himeko he thinks of his sister…and his behavior toward Himeko worsen when you appeared in her life."

"I see." I calmly spoke, as I soon felt something warm touch my hand.

I stopped and noticed it was Amaya's hand resting against my own.

"Chikane please…just take good care of my daughter. Don't ever let anyone harm her…not even him." She softly said, but it sounded like she was begging me to do this.

I smiled lightly to her and nodded my head yes to her.

"Of course I will…no one is ever going to harm her. Not while I'm still alive and at her side." I was relived to see her smile, as she slowly released my hand and we continued to walk.

She would occasionally tease me about how cute it was that I watched over Himeko like a good doggy.

I would just sigh and smile knowing that her mother was just being a mother.

"It's really late…" Himeko's mother noticed, as she saw that Himeko looked really tired.

I could feel her looking at me, as she smiled at the glare I was giving Souma for keeping Himeko out so long. Unlike him and I Himeko needs sleep and he should know that.

"Chikane follow me." She whispered to me.

I followed behind her, as we walked over to them.

"Souma would it be alright if I take my daughter to her room now." Amaya softly asked, as Souma glared at me.

But his gaze soon fell on Himeko as he saw how tired she was.

"Very well…Good night Himeko." He calmly spoke, as he went and placed a kiss on my Himeko's forehead.

He slowly pulled away and smirked when he heard my growl and saw my glare.

"Good night your majesty." He calmly said, as he bowed to Himeko's mother and walked away from us.

I could sense that the other vampires were following him, as I soon relaxed once they were all gone.

"Chikane go ahead and take Himeko to her room." She gently said, as she went and kissed Himeko's forehead right where Souma had.

"Good night Himeko." She whispered, as Himeko sleepy smiled at her mother.

I went and knelt down in front of her and once I felt that she was on my back I stood up.

"Good night Chikane." She smiled, as she started walking away from us.

"Good night…Amaya." I softly relied, as I started walking toward the place.

"So how sleepy are you?" I softly asked, as Himeko had already fallen asleep on my back.

I smiled, as her warmth and scent was surrounding me. As I kept walking I soon froze, as I smelled something other than Himeko's wonderful scent. I quickly turned around and looked around before I entered the palace.

'This scent…its Girochi's scent.' I growled.

'So his still here!' I thought, as I felt Himeko nuzzle her face into my back.

'I can't do anything while I have her with me…if he tries anything. That's when I'll kill him.' I growled, as I soon started walking once again and was now inside.

Meanwhile in the nearby woods.

"See I told you."

A dark as the earth's dirt brown male wolf coldly spoke, as his cold golden eyes were looking at another male wolf at his side.

"You are right little bro…that human is kid of cute."

"So will you do it?"

"Sure…I'll help you out Girochi. After all what are brother for anyway." The lager snow white wolf coldly spoke, as he was looking at the palace with his cold golden eyes.
