Dear readers,
I love that all of you have clicked and kept on clicking to read my story. (All of you are amazing.) I apologize that Klaus may seem a little OOC, but I promise that it will make sense in one of the later chapters. Thank you to everyone that followed or reviewed to this story. I really appreciate it and if you review on more than one chapter I can possible add a minor character with your description in the next chapter or into a chapter with the episode that's your favorite. You give me the inspiration to write when I don't want to.
Sorry if you read this before I have been updating and fixing the things that have been overlooked once before.
Love, Beautiful Dreaming Warrior
Sometimes I hate the fact that my mom is awake because now I'm on a plane to god knows where. I love her she is my mom and all, but damn. I am used to doing my own thing. She is way too protective. I have managed fine with Mark by my side when she was in a coma. All because I was used as an amplifier to open the stupid tomb even though Damon's slut of girlfriend wasn't even in there. I start sketching as I'm in stupid first class even though I didn't even want to be leaving the country anyways. I am thankfully never carded up here for the drinks I have drunk, so I am having this amazing buzz while I wait for the plane to land. My anger is still there but now that I'm drinking the anger is slightly fuzzed out.
I put my earbuds in and turn on some Panic at the Disco as I feel my buzz throughout my body. As I listen to Brendan's wonderful panty dropping voice, I sketch out a scene between Freckles and I. The both of us cuddling under a plaid blanket with a fire in front of us, Freckles and I doing dinner at what looks like is a fancy dinner, me sleeping with Freckles looking at me, and the last one is of us dancing in the rain with our clothes thoroughly soaked through. I finished my classwork for this month waiting to take off and even on the way up. I sent it to my teachers and they say they'll gather the rest of the materials for the next month as they can. I smile as we land and I gather my sketching stuff before it's our turn to leave our seats. For some reason mom made me wear a pair of her old dark green Louis Vuitton's with a pair of light wash jeans, a dark green long sleeved ribbed V-neck shirt. I curled my hair to tame the natural curls and I create a braided crown to hold some fake flowers. I walk out and I see Nik with bodyguards all around him.
"Freckles?" I ask softly as I tilt my head and he automatically turns his head. Our eyes lock and as his face lights up with a big genuine smile. His big smile makes me smile. He starts walking towards me and I feel my magic spark as my heart beat faster. Oh my gods he's so much handsomer in person. I feel my cheeks turning red as we speak.
"Yes you are blushing love. So you think that I am handsome?" He asks with a shit eating smirk on his pouty lips and my jaw drops. I blush even more as my bangs fall in front of my eyes.
"I said that out loud didn't I?" he walks closer to me and pulls me into a hug. I put my face into the crook of his neck and take a deep breath in. I take note of the smell of a mixed of sandalwood and vanilla with some citrus mixed in with the rest. It relaxes me and I hear him take a deep breath in as he uses his nose to push my head. He makes me bare my neck to him and I giggle lightly as he rubs his nose on my neck.
"I don't mind." He says as he kisses the top of my head as his arms that are wrapped around my waist pull me closer. "Now why did your cousin call me asking if it was alright for them to send you to me?"
I roll my eyes as I pull away, "Stupid shit. That's it." I say as he makes me look into his eyes.
"If you say so my little Wonder. Now let's get you settled in before we go ahead with our day." He says as he wraps his arm around my shoulders and takes my carry on away from me. I look up at him and smile before I kiss his stubbled jawline.
"Only if I can take a nap in the car with you as my pillow." I whisper slightly in is ear and he smirks wickedly.
"Of course." He says and I look straight as I walk. Okay so maybe staying away from home with Freckles can be a good thing.
He has a hummer limo waiting for us after we grab my bags and he helps in before climbing in with me. He keeps his word and lets me use his lap as my pillow. I blush lightly while he covers me up with his leather jacket. I close my eyes and melt on his lap as I take a deep breath. I start smelling his manly scent and I sigh lightly. He pets my curls and for the first time in a very long time I feel at peace. Even when I was practicing my magic in California I was never this serene. It's like the world has slowed just for this moment.
As the driver drives on, I ignore the French/business stuff coming out of Freckles mouth. Although French sounds hot coming out of his mouth, that thought makes me smirk. I feel his hand slide down to my neck and he gently drags his fingertips on my pulse. I shiver slightly and I hear a slight rumbling underneath me. It reminds me of a dog's happy grumble. The thought of it makes me giggle and I turn to see him looking down at me.
"Go back to sleep Darling." He says with a smile as he rubs my cheekbone with his thumb before I grab his hand. I relax lightly as I feel completely and utterly safe with him.
"Okay." I whisper as I cuddle his hand to my chest and put his palm over my heart. I feel my heart calm down as his hand stays on my chest. I close my eyes and fall into the peaceful abyss.
Nik's POV:
As I speak to my human employees I slide my hand down to Rayen's neck and I gently drag my fingertips on where I can feel her pulse. I feel her shiver slightly and feeling it makes me smirk. I hear a slight giggle before I look down to see her looking up at me.
"Go back to sleep Darling." I say softly in a tone that hasn't passed these lips in a long time. I gently rub her cheekbone with my thumb before she grabs my hand. My heart jumps a bit as I see her eyes glow slightly.
"Okay." she whispers as she puts my palm over her heart. I watch her close her eyes and I smile. I ignore my impulses before looking up at my associates who are smiling softly.
"What?" I ask in English seeing them smile at the two of us.
"You two look so sweet together." They say as we go back to talking business.
"You are not allowed to say anything. Any of you." I say pushing my compulsion onto my guards and my employees. After a while of talking business we let them off out their office before driving off again. I fall asleep after talking a picture of her sleeping on my lap and I set it as my background on my phone. We get to the hotel and she wakes up with a gasp. She pulls out her camera and I watch her taking pictures of the hotel and the surrounding areas. I hear a light chuckle from one of my day walkers and I watch her turn to him and glare so hard that he flinches. I watch her look at and I quirk my eyebrow at him. We get out and I give her my hand to help her out before she punches my side really hard. I flinch at the strength behind her punch before I look at her.
"Why didn't you tell me that the reason we're in Paris is because we're going to Disneyland?" She asks me. I lean down to her small stature and I kiss her cheek. So closely to her lips that I make her flush and her scent change slightly which makes me smirk.
"Because it's my surprise to you." I motion the bellman to come over and he starts taking our bags. He tries to flirt with her, but I notice she is too busy taking pictures and he finally stops when he sees me. Joelene Goodacre walks over. She is one of my many passing nights when I needed not only blood, but I needed to give into my werewolf impulses. I see her walking over with a blue folder in her hand trying to keep her red hair out of the way of her revealing cleavage. I roll my eyes as she fixes her neckline while looking over Rayen with jealousy in her eyes and I raise my eyebrow while I see her magic making her glow green slightly. I slyly look around to see the flowers and trees moving slightly.
"Mr. Mikaelson, welcome to Disneyland Paris. Your room is fully furnished and here are your room keys, your tickets and your VIP passes." She starts talking in French and I hold back a growl as she disrespects Rayen by speaking French in front of her even though she is from New York.
"Joelene, you and I both know that you can speak perfect English and this is my girlfriend. Treat her with respect or else." I stand up straight and look at her in her eyes. Flashing my vampire eyes to her and I watch her light brown eyes widen as I lace my fingers with hers. She nods and gives the bellman our room number as she runs away I hear Rayen giggle.
"So I'm your girlfriend now?" She says as I hear a teasing edge to it and I look down at her with a smirk that I know makes her melt. I gently pull her close smelling her underlying lust hidden under her perfume and I put my free hand on the back of her neck to keep her close as I give her a passionate kiss that I have been waiting to give her. I catch her off guard before she relaxes to grip his shirt. She pulls me closer making us drop our hands and I grabs the back of her pants. Keeping her close as I feel my lust growing for her all the while my other hand buries itself in her silky soft hair. She pulls away and licks her pouty bruised lips, "That definitely answers my question."
Time Jump and Back to Rayen's POV:
We end up staying the entire month in a penthouse overlooking Paris and we go to the park every day either jogging or on dates. Our relationship has also grown into me being his official girlfriend and me helping with looking over numbers for his finances. Despite our skype calls with my friends even those have slowed to maybe someone emailing me pictures about events. Even my mom and Mark have stopped talking to me for some strange reason. It makes me extremely surprised and sad that they stop trying to message me. It's even gotten to the point of where I will cry in the shower. But Nik has been my rock for every time that I shed a tear he replaces it with a smile. Nik has kept me sane though. From expensive dinners with his business associates to having Disneyland closing early for us to have it to ourselves he loves to spoil me. Now we're going to road trip across Europe and we're going to be tourists. At last after exploring all of Europe and me finishing off my junior year earlier than everyone else with such high grades still we end up in Greece on an island.
I wake up and I see that Nik isn't in bed with me. I scrunch my eyebrows and climb out of bed after fixing my sheer red silk nightgown. Nik bought it for me even though I told him I didn't need a fancy nightgown. I look at the time and I see that it's well after Midnight. I pull my hair up before putting a hair pin into it. I grab my floor-length silk white and black robe and I walk out of our room. I go to the stairs before I hear voices downstairs. I tilt my head before I touch the hardwood floors with my newly painted toenails.
"When are you going to lose your piece of flesh upstairs Klaus?" One man says making my anger build.
"Seriously, that girl that you've been parading around with can and will be a problem if not dealt with promptly." A Grecian accented woman says and I hear the wood around me creaking.
"She's making you weak sir." I hear a man's voice and I growl inwardly before I walk downstairs. I raise my eyebrow waiting to hear Nik's response to these people bad mouthing me.
"The women sleeping upstairs is the one that will wake up to hear your screams if you ever speak like that about her ever again." I smirk as I walk over to see Nik nursing a glass of wine wearing only his jeans and I lean against the wall catching his eye. I wink and put my finger to my lips.
"Sorry sir. But there have been whispers to your enemies that you have a weakness. One that can be used as leverage if they find her." My anger boils over and I growl.
I roll my eyes and wave my hand making my vine wrap around his neck making sure that my vine is the Foxglvoe-Vervain Hybrid. I feel my magic making the plants in the room grow. "If someone thinks that then they are wrong. They come near me with hostile intentions I will make sure their heads are on spikes." I say as I walk closer and I see every other person's eyes in the room are vampire. "Nik, why are there vampires in our villa?" I ask as I look over to Nik while he finishes off his wine glass. He walks over to me and kisses my neck making me shiver.
"They're my lackeys love. I think you've made your point." He whispers in my ear and I look to him before he nods. I roll my eyes and pull my arm back. "Everyone get out." He growls out and I turn around looking up at him.
"Are you a vampire as well?" I ask hoping he tells me the truth while he takes the hair pin out of my hair letting it fall to my waist.
"I am." He says and he looks at me worried while he and I back up into the table. "Do you care?"
"As long as you don't kill any of those I care for… I don't." I say as he gently pushes me against the table and helps me sit on top of it. I lick my lips while his vampire face comes out and I gently trace the veins and he kisses my palms. He looks at me and immediately kisses me increasing the lust between us. I kiss back moaning lightly as one of his fangs nick my lip. He starts sucking on it lightly, but we stop before he starts kissing down my neck. I moan lightly as he pushes himself up against me making me feel the entirety of him.
Lemon is starting if you don't want to read it then skip it until you see bold and italics again.
I drag my nails down his back and he growls before pushing up my nightgown. He drags his fingertips up my thighs before gripping my hips. "No Panties?" He asks against my neck as he starts kissing and sucking on the crook of my neck which makes me moan. I feel him pushing against me even more as he hears my moans that he is making me elicit.
"Mmm not when I go to sleep." I smirk as I push his pants down while he lays me down against the table and he looks me over. The cool table contrasting with my skin as he and I get hotter with our building lust. He bites his lip while looking down at me.
"You're killing me." He says as he and I grind against one another while my pussy soaks his shaft making it easier and much more enjoyable for the both of us. Our moans and growls growing as he marks my neck with hickies and non-vampire like love bites. He pulls my hair back and kisses me hard making me squirm under his control. I dig my nails into his sides while trying to pull him closer while his free hand slides down to play with my very sensitive nipples. I let out a gasp as I squirm under him even more as I feel his head rubbing and parting my pussy lips.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" He asks and I pull away as he lowers his head to suck and nibble on my boobs. His lips and teeth making me squirm under neath him.
"Yes." I moan out and I look down to see his eyes go back to normal before lowering his head to the apex of my thighs. He looks at me and I nod as he parts my legs wider before giving one long lick sending shivers up my spine. I arch up lightly at the new sensation and I bite my lip while he properly licks, nibbles, and sucking on my lips. I squirm and arch off the table slightly while he pushes my hips down. "Fuck." I moan out as I grip his hair while he darts his tongue in and out of me. I hear him growl as he starts thrusting his middle and pointer finger in and out of my pussy with fervor making squelching noises as he finger fucks me.
"You're so fucking tight." He growls and leans up to look at me as bites down on my hipbone leaving a huge hickey. I let out a moan as I squirm under him. The coil in my lower abdomen tightening as he keeps fingering me without stopping. My body is shaking while I grip the edge of the table and I feel my magic coiling with me.
"I'm gonna cum." I whine out and he leans up to kiss me hard. I dig my nails into his back with one hand as he grips my hair pulling my hair back and I lock eyes with him.
He looks at me with lust clouding his eyes, "Cum. Cum on my fingers." He orders me and I nod as those words cause me to cum so hard that I am pretty sure everyone has heard me scream out his name. I look up at him to see him smirking as he slows down and pulls his fingers out of me before licking my fingers clean. "Now we don't have to do anything more tonight if you don't want to."
I smirk as I feel my legs shaking from the orgasm while I put one leg on his hip and pull him between my legs. His hard member fully parting my lips and rest against my now soaked self rubbing against me. "But I do want to." I say as I notice my voice is lower and full of lust. I smirk, "Unless the great Niklaus Mikaelson is scared?" His eyes flash as I test his dominance and he puts his hand on my neck. Instead of it being threatening it is comforting and sexy as hell. I bite my lip as he looks down at me.
"I am never scared Rayen." He smirks as he grabs himself and rubs himself up and down my soaking wet opening before starting to slide himself into me. I gasp lightly as he opens me up and he growls. "Fuck this is going to hurt love."
"I don't care." I say panting lightly as he leans down and kisses me before shoving his entirety into me. I drag my nails down his back accidentally pushing some magic into the wounds. He grabs my hands and pins them above my head with one hand. My pussy throbbing around his thick cock while getting used to the pain of him taking my virginity. I whine as the pain turns to pleasure as he fills me to the brim and more. I lift my hips to signal him to start moving and he moans against my lips. He starts thrusting in and out of me before we find a rhythm. Soon the room and the villa are filled with nothing, but our moans, groans, and skin slapping against each other.
"You're so fucking tight. I'm gonna cum if your tight pussy keeps swallowing me up like this." He growls as he moves us and bends me over the table fucking me from behind. He grips my hair and pulls me to him with each thrust making me arch my back. I whine and squirm, "Aww is the little brat speechless? Is she speechless from my. cock. fucking. her?" He asks thrust harder towards the end and I bite my lip as I nod as best I can. He slaps my ass making me yelp, "Answer me."
"Mmm yes I am." I moan out and he pulls back on my hair kissing my neck as I feel a tighter coil in my lower abdomen. "If you keep fucking me like this I'm gonna cum." I hear his growl as he thrusts deeper into me and holds himself in me. I moan out as he flexes in me and I wiggle my hips against him while he puts my hair in both his hands like pigtails.
"Then cum." He growls in my ear before using my pigtails as handles to fuck me harder and faster. I gasp and dig my nails into the wood my magic leaving my scratch marks deep in the wood. His thrusts start becoming erratic as he pushes me to cum and I moan out as I wiggle more.
"Nik!" I scream out as I cum and my magic pulses out of me as he lets out a roar while he cums in me. I pant lightly as he lowers me against the table as he keeps thrusting his cum into me. I pant as I feel him throbbing in me. I look back and he looks down at me making me smile while he pulls out of me even though it's really hard.
End of Lemon scene. I promise.
He gently picks me up bridal style and blurs us up to the shower. "You don't have to do this." I say hoarsely and he pecks my lips.
"I do. It was your first time and I want it to end perfectly." He says with a smile on his face as he sets me on the counter while he gets the temperature correct. I blush lightly as I feel his cum dripping out of me onto the counter. "Plus I don't think that you have the strength in your legs to stand up." I toss a tiny shampoo at him before he blurs us into the shower for round three.
Time Jump
After we have two more rounds of mind blowing sex, we end up in bed completely naked and asleep. I open my eyes as I feel his fingers dragging on my back and I see him looking down at me. He smiles and kisses my forehead, "Good morning. Or should I say good afternoon love." He says and I look at the time seeing that it's 4 in the afternoon.
"Wow we really did fuck throughout the night." I say hoarsely and he pecks my lips.
"And most of the morning." He says as he moves my hair out of my eyes and I kiss his inner wrist. "I got us a flight to London and I pushed our check in back." I blush and I sit up as I start to feel the soreness between my legs. My legs shaking slightly as I see that he set an outfit out for me. "Do you need help getting dressed?" He asks as he stand up showing off all his delicious glory.
"If you end up helping me then we're never getting out of here." I giggle as I look back at him to see him checking me out. I grab the bra and start putting it on. "Where's the underwear?" I look around and he chuckles.
"There is none." He says and I turn to see him getting dressed.
"How am I supposed to wear this skirt if I have no underwear?" I ask tilting my head as I slip the grey off the shoulder sweater and I put the black skater skirt on. He comes up behind me and fully grips my ass in one hand while the other wraps around my hickey covered throat.
"You don't." He whispers lowly in my ear as he nibbles and sucks on my earlobe making me melt in his arms. "Now we have to hurry the plane leaves in an hour." He says moving away leaving me turned on as I pull on a pair of black leather knee high boots. I pull my hair back into braids and cover my neck with a scarf before he wraps his arm around my shoulders. "All the bags and your carry on are in the SUV now. I just let you sleep in more since we passed out after the third round." I blush lightly before looking back to see that the headboard is broken and warped. The plants outside the balcony are overgrown and I turn my head back as we head down the stairs to get in the car. He helps me into the passenger side after spanking my ass just before I sit down. I giggle as I sit down and he blurs next to me before giving me a kiss. "By the way did you know you're nails are really sharp?"
"Why?" I ask as I buckle up and he starts driving towards the bridge as he puts his hand on my thigh.
"Because your scratches haven't even healed yet." He says and grips my inner thigh harder make my let out a little moan. "But I don't mind." I whine lightly as he rubs where he gripped and I blush lightly. "By the way once we land you have a spa appointment including a massage, facial, nail, and you have a hair and makeup team waiting for you."
I look at him and tilt my head. "Oh? Do we have an event that we have to attend? Oh crap I'm going to need a dress, shoes, and matching jewelry." I say as I pull my phone out and start looking stuff up. He chuckles and grabs my chin to make me look at him straight on.
"No you don't. I have them all set up waiting for you to get there. Also on the plane we'll be reviewing meeting with royalty etiquette and gala etiquette." He says and I raise my eyebrow at him.
"Royalty?" My jaw drops and my eyes widen. "Are you telling me I'm going to meet the Queen of England?"
He smirks, "I am. Elizabeth's family is under my protection since the Mikaelson's and the royal family have been in favor of one another for many years." He says as we cross over the bridge.

After the flight he escorted me to the spa and he left me some vampires that are compelled to protect me no matter what is to happen. The girls actually take their time to make sure that I have no knots and no stray hairs anywhere. They bring out a never before seen, Zuhair Murad powder blue silk evening gown with silver beaded bodice with some sash detail drapes over shoulder and at the back. My mouth drops as they help me into the dress and I look at myself in the mirror. I look like a Greek goddess with my hair half up being held by silver hair pins that have leaves on the ends. They slip on a pair of silver heels and strap them up my calves. They have my lay back sightly, so they can start working on my face to make sure that my tan from our travels is even. They wing black eyeliner on my top lid and make my eyes look like a cats eye while putting red lipstick. After everything is said and done the vampire guards escort me down to the lobby where I am ushered into the limp before being driven to the Buckingham palace. I look out and I see Nik is waiting there at the steps wearing a suit with some medals on his chest. It's my turn to enter and be announced to the paparazzi.
The door opens, "Miss Rayen Sassa Harjo. Courted and escorted by Lord Niklaus Mikaelson." The man says and Nik walks over holding his hand out as he looks down at me. I take his hand with my non-tattooed hand before I look up into his eyes making his jaw drop.
"They did wonders didn't they?" I ask as he helps me out before I curtsy to him and he bows after kissing my knuckles.
We start walking up the stairs as the paparazzi takes pictures of us and we walk in, "No. You already are a wonder. The wonder is how you're with a beast like me." I lean up and peck his cheek.
"You are a beast, but that's why I'm with you. No man can handle a Native gal like me." I whisper as we walk in and I stop in front of a mirror to fix Nik's tie and medals.
"You are very sweet. Now what are the rules for when you meet the Queen?" He asks as he looks me over and pull my hair out of the pins before making my curls big.
"Do not touch the Queen. Do not shake the Queen's hand unless she holds her hand out first to shake your hand. Do not speak to the Queen unless she speaks to you first. If the Queen addresses you first, answer her ending your first response with 'Your Majesty.' End your second response with 'Ma'am' to rhyme with 'jam." I say as I count out the rules while I look up at him and he smiles.
"Good girl." I smile as he holds his arm out and I pick up the dress a bit so I don't fall. We get to the top of the stairs and I look around to see that the hall is decorated in powder blue, silver, and green.
I look up at him, "What is the event?" I ask softly as we walk down the silver carpet.
"I can't tell you." he says and I scrunch my eyebrows at him while we get to the bottom. Soon the both of us are swept away by nobility and we talk for a while. I look around and I feel that my vine that I moved to around my ankle is swirling. I look around to see that Nik is talking to someone in the royal guard and I tilt my head.
"How did you snatch the most eligible man in all of Great Britain?" Princess Beatrice of York asks me as a waiter hands me a glass of champagne. I nod and thank him before I take a sip.
"Pardon me, but I didn't snatch him up. I snuck into one of his parties on a dare from one of my friends and he caught me then we danced before going up to look over the skyline." I say softly as I remember the our first dance.
"Amazing. Not just anyone can sneak into a Mikaelson's party. How did you do it?" Her sister Prince Eugenie asks as we walk around the dance floor and take pictures with some of their siblings.
"I stole an already drunk guests invite by flirting with him and then my friend made me a dress, so I could get in." I say with a smile and I push my bangs away from my eyes. I take a sip of the champagne and I taste the vervain in it making me chuckle slightly. "Would you excuse me I'm going to get something stronger?" They nod and I curtsy before going over to the open bar.
"What would you like me to make ma'am?" The teen asks and I smile as I give him my champagne glass.
"I would like a martini without the vervain." I say and the teens eyes widen before I give him a smirk that makes him stutter out a yes. "Thank you handsome." I say as I give him a hundred. I smile as he starts making me my drink. I look at the flower arrangements around the room and I slyly powerful before pushing out a wave of my magic. I smile as I can feel them all growing while everyone mingles.
"Did you realize that when you use your powers your eyes glow green and your skin glows a slight gold?" I hear someone's voice behind me and I turn around to see someone lurking in the dark.
"Is that so?" I ask as I look to see a man wearing a dark red suit with a black tie. His hair brown as chocolate and his eyes as gold as well obviously gold. My first gut instinct is that he's a wolf.
"It is. So why is there a 17 year old Californian Native/ Virginia girl with one of the most powerful men in the world, at Buckingham Palace?" The man asks and I look up at him and I see that he has wolfish eyes.
"Why does a werewolf want to know about me?" I ask as I take the drink the teenager hands me and I take a sip of it. I watch his eyes widen in surprise and I smirk. "You think that I'm not aware of the supernatural around me?"
I make the vine climb up my leg before wrapping around my arm, "SO then I'll ask again. Why are you here with Klaus?" He asks and I lick my red lips watching his eyes follow my tongue.
"I'm just arm candy." I say as I walk away and look back at him. "Bye bye pup." I walk away and I get swept into a dance by Nik making me smile as I move my vine down to my ankle.
"Are you ready love?" He asks and I smirk as I take a drink before setting it on a tray.
"What do I need to be ready for?" I ask as he nods to the band and they start playing the tango.
"After this dance the Queen will appoint you a Dame." He says as we dance around the dance floor and I smile as we start incorporating some lifts and dips. I make sure that all of the photographers get great pictures of us while we dance.
"Are you serious?"
"Dead serious." We finish off with my left leg straight out and my right leg underneath me. "Why do you think everything around has something to do with you?" I double check everything as he pulls me to my feet and I smile as I give him a kiss.
"How did you manage this?" I ask softly as he escorts me to a table. He just gives me a smirk in return before the real festivities begin.
Time Jump
After the gala and getting appointed the Order of Thistle, I am now Lady Harjo-Maxwell and the official court Native American. We eat dinner with everyone and then we go back to his penthouse. We have some very satisfying fun and I hop into the shower as he goes to feed. I wash up and rinse off feeling something very wrong. I get out letting the water turn off before I lotion up my body. I feel a heavy weight in my chest and I bite my lip as I wrap myself in a towel. I look at myself in the mirror and I try to shake the feeling off before I walk out to the bedroom. As I towel dry my hair and walk over to my dresser to get my pjs I see Greta sitting on the bed looking apologetic and conflicted. I toss the towel in the hamper as I grab my nightgown before slipping it on. I toss the other towel into the hamper as well and I fix my wet hair so I can actually see her. I take my necklace off and set it in the jewelry bowl.
"Greta? What are you doing here? I thought he gave you the night off?" I ask as I walk over to her and she looks up at me with her eyes tearing up slightly. I grip her hands and I feel a surge of power. My body shakes and I try to get out of her hold.
"I am so sorry Ray ray." She says softly as she closes her eyes.
"Greta, why?" I ask as I try to pull my arms out of her hands and I feel something harder holding onto my wrists. My eyes widen as she won't let go and I see black smoke wrapping around my wrists. Slowly like a snake.
"You won't be able to remember dealing with any of his businesses or anything of that nature. You remember his full name or that he's a vampire. Or any of his secrets that he has told you in the past four months." She lets her tears fall down her cheeks and I try pulling harder as my friend keeps chanting the spell between the sentences. "Tonight you finish packing up your stuff and you will head home. You will get on with your life and find someone to fall in love with. You will only remember Freckles as the man that helped you gain some portfolio pictures. Your memories will return when you get the necklace back. Your relationship will be just a friendship nothing more."
"Greta what's happening? You know that I can't be compelled." I look to the door to see Nik standing there with a regretful look on his face as I feel my body shaking slightly. "Nik. What-" I look to see his eyes aren't looking directly at me. "You told her to do this."
"I can't have any weakness." He simply says in a monotonous voice and I kick my foot out making my vine wrap around his neck.
"I have already told you, god damn it Nik, I am no weakness!" I pull him closer with my leg as he doesn't even fight me. "Now let Greta break the fucking spell and I'll deal with these rumors." I say as I bring him down to his knees and make him look at me. I look at him trying to see the man that has stolen my heart. But all I see in his eyes are ice with none of his usual emotions behind them. It hits me hard making me let out a gasp as it squeezes my heart. I try to pull away from Greta as I lean down to him. "Nik, don't push me out. Please." I try to beg him by using my gift a bit and I rest my forehead against his as my tears well up faster threatening to fall.
He stands up straight and pulls the vine off from around his neck. He looks down at me as I see a single tear fall down from his face. He swallows hard before speaking. "Sorry love, but this is for you to be safe as well." He makes me turn to look at Greta as the smoke wraps around my entire arm.
"Please Nik. You know I won't say anything. Please Nik." I say trying to get him to let me go as my tears fall down my face. My body is shaking out of control as her magic reacts negatively to mine. He kisses my cheek and rubs my cheeks as he holds my face to look at Greta as she cries. "I love you."
"My little Wonder, I wish you could stay by my side with no repercussions. But unfortunately I have enemies that would hurt you. Just to get to me. I can't have that." He whispers and kisses the back of my head. "I love you too." He says as I see Greta's eyes go from brown to blood red before all of a sudden my world goes black as I fall limp.
