Chapter 9

Selene POV.

I was in the shower when all of a sudden I felt that pull at my soul. My mom was calling me to her. I let my soul go to her freely. I was in her kingdom ten seconds later. I walked through the big doors again. This time I did not have to wait because my mom was already in our living room waiting for me. "Hello mom." I said as I approached her.

"Hello." She said kissing me on the forehead. I sat down on the couch beside her. "How are you feeling?" She asked me.

"Good." I said but added. "A little nervous but good." She smiled at me.

"That is normal." I nodded. "Do you know why your father and I made you wait one year and a week?" My mom asked me. She was using the Nyx voice that said I can't tell you the answer but you should know and feel it inside of you. I shake my head. "Well then that is a real shame." She said. She looked down at my arm. "Selene what have you done?" She said in her strong tough laying down the laws motherly voice.

"Nothing." I lied. I sucked at lying when it came to my mom.

"Give me your arms." She said and I stretched them out to her. She healed them and I felt it healing the ones on my stomach to. "I don't know why you never heal yourself." She said and then laughed. "Just a mama's girl I guess." I had to laugh to because it was majorly true.

"Where is daddy?" I asked her. It did not seem right to call Erebus father so I called him dad or daddy because every girl just needs her daddy once in a while.

"Getting his suit for your bonding." My mom said looking sad. I had a burning question to ask her but I didn't know how much it would help me if I did.

"I cried blood earlier." I blurted out and she smiled. "Do you know why I did this?" I asked her my burning question.

"I do." She said calmly. She wasn't saying anything else.

"Well then what is it?" I asked her pressing her to answer me.

"It has to do with your soul mate." She said looking happy and excited.

"What about Jacen?" I asked and the smile faded off of her face.

"SELENE!" I heard two voices call. I looked past my mom and in walks Jacen's parents Krishna and Bliss.

"I can't tell you. It is something you must also figure out and I believe you will when the time is right." My mom said so that only I could hear.

"Hello Bliss and Krishna." I said looking at Jacen's parents.

"Please call us mom and dad." Bliss said smiling at me and I nodded.

"I wish she wouldn't." I heard my mom say under her breath. I shoot her a look. "Well I must be going now." She said and kissed me good bye.

"So whats up?" I asked them.

"We wanted to bring you an early bonding gift since Erebus told us you were in town." Krishna said and I nodded. Then Bliss handed me a silver box. I opened it and it was a diamond necklace.

"We would be honored if you kept it and wore it on that special day." Bliss said and I smiled up at her. "It has been worn by all of the women in our family and since I don't have a daughter and you are our Jacen's bond I am giving it to you. You will give it to your daughter when the time is right." She smiled a huge smile at me. I just smiled and nodded. "We must be leaving. But do give Jase a hug and kiss from us." Bliss said.

"Of course." I got up and hugged them both. Then I sent my soul back to my body. I was still in the shower and the water was still hot. I got out of the shower. I was confused about the talk with my mom. Jase was sitting up in bed when I got out. I was wrapped in a towel. I walked over to him and he pulled me down. Then he was lying on top of me again.

"Morning." He said to me.

"Hia." I laughed. I saw him look down at the necklace I was wearing. "Your mom gave it to me." I said and he nodded.

"There traditional." He said.

"There is nothing wrong with that." I kissed him. "I need to put some clothes on." I told him.

"I think I like you better like this." He smiled that devilish smile.

"I need to put clothes on Jacen." I said and he grumbled something unintelligent before getting off of me. I walked into the closet and put on some acid wash jeans with a purple sweater. When I walked back out I laid down in Jacen's arms.

Erik POV.

I walked into my apartment and saw Venus sitting on the bed. "Miss me?" She asked me.

"Not now Venus." I snapped at her and she looked shocked.

"Whats wrong Erik no time for fun?" She said in a flirty voice. Then she got a closer look at my face."Your-." I cut her off.

"Crying blood." I said. "I have to shower. She nodded and I toke my shower. When I got out she was sitting on the bed waiting for me. I sat next to her but not close enough that we were touching.

"Wanna talk about it?" She asked. "You can trust me Erik." She added, but could I really trust her? I mean look at the last girl I trusted. She ended up wanting me dead and the one before that cheated on me. I leaned in and kissed Venus smack on the lips. She kissed me back but then she pulled away. "Erik no." She said. She was breathing hard.

"Why not." I said in a seductive tone.

"Because I am so not going to be your second choice to Selene." She said. She looked hurt.

"Fine." I said lying on the bed.

"Tell me why you were crying." She said.

"Selene told me to go die, she chose Jacen, my heart feels like its going to explode and I never get the happy ending." I said listing off a lot of things.

"I'm sorry." Venus said.

"Me too." I was feeling all the self pity.

"Again I say that she is dumb." Venus said. "Want me to go and kill her?" She asked me. I snapped up.

"NO!" I said my voice was loud. "No killing." I told her and she nodded. "No." I said again for emphasis.

"Fine." She sighed. "Wanna talk now?" She asked me. It was my turn to sigh and then I nodded. "You really love her?" I nodded again. "Why?" She asked me sounding so disgusted. I shook my head at her.

"I love her because she is perfect and when I'm with her I feel...I feel....so and ugh." I said. There were no words to describe how I felt when I was with Selene. Even when she was mad and hating me I still felt this way for her. It was like my soul was being lit on fire and my heart would speed up. I would feel numb and have butterflies in my tummy.

"That sounds." Venus paused to think of the right word. "Unbelievable." She said and I nodded because it did feel unbelievable. We talked for hours and hours until it was time for her to head back to her room to get some sleep. "Bye Erik." She said.

"Thanks Venus and bye." I gave her a friendly hug and then she left.

Selene POV.

"Jacen get out now." I heard Kaylee pushing Jacen out of the room. Aphrodite, Zoey, Lo and Stevie Rae were in my room. They were trying to get Jacen to leave because we weren't suppose to see each other at all tomorrow and I would see him if he slept here.

"Fine." Jacen said. He walked over and kissed me. "Until the ceremony." He smiled.

"I can hardly wait." Then he left. All the girls were looking at me. "What?" I asked.

"He better not come in here." Aphrodite said and I nodded. "Good then we'll see you in the morning." Then she walked out with Lo and Kay right behind her. I yawned.

"We should hit the hay." Zoey said.

"Yeah we have a big day planned." Stevie Rae laughed. We all got into our beds and fell asleep.
