. I flin-ch to every t©uçh as Arden stick out every bullet. With a little cut on his wrist his blood drip on my open wounds as it quic-kly sealed up. I was crying mentally but not physically as I l@yon the be-d shi-tless.
” Alita..” he called my name but I ignored him. I want to go back home. To where I belong not this crazy city where every person wants me dead.
” Can you look at me ? plea-se.” He said lying close to me. I turn my head to his side and faked a smile.
” St©p doing that. I’m sorry. I cost half of this and I shouldn’t have let you go for a run.”
” How did you find me ?”
” I felt it. That you’re not okay , like something bad is happening to you.”
” Most times I wish we could had S-x. It’s gonna help me from this stupid trauma.” He chuckle trailing his hands on my stomach.
” I’m sorry.” He mutter tou-ching my hair.
” Why don’t they want me ? Because I’m a witch ?” I ask. He didn’t reply and I un-derstand.
” It’s stupid you know. I got sh0t just to stay away from you.”
” I’m really sorry. I blame myself for everything.” I quitely laugh and scoff.
” Thanks for everything.”
” I don’t deserve it. I’ve brou-ght nothing but pain to you. I’m going out this morning and you should do me a favor and stay here.”
” Where are you going ?”
” A chit chat with my stupid council.” He reply and I couldn’t help but chuckle lightly.
” Will you fight ?”
” It depends. They try to hurt you , i think they also deserve half of the pain.” Arden said.
” plea-se don’t fight with anyone.” I plea holding his hand.” It doesn’t matter , it won’t change anything.”
” Babe..”
” b©yfri£nd, plea-se.” A tug grin curl up at the corner of hisl-ips , I think for calling him b©yfri£nd. He sighs and nod like a kid.
I smiled and he slowly ca-ress my hair.
” How did you do that ? The guys. I saw them lying dead on the floor. From afar I saw a strong wind and it seems it knocked them out.”
I shrug on the be-d and smile.
” I ba-rely know. I just knew that things like that happens when I’m angry especially when I don’t want it.”
He nodded with a smile and look at me . My eyes met his and we were just quiet.
” Arden.” Dylan called knocking on his room door.
” I’m coming.. get into something.” He said and give me his t-shi-t.
I still feel weak after getting sh0t. I put on his t-shi-t and sit up looking at the door. Arden opens the door as Dylan walk in with Derek.
” What happened to her ?” Dylan ask sitting close to me.
” She got sh0t.” Arden scoff and shove his hands into his front pockets.
” What the fv¢k is wrong with this stupid council ?”
” I’m driving there , I just want you to look out for her.” Arden said.
” What are you gonna do there ?”
” I just wanna talk.”
” Arden you don’t talk.” Derek said. I really haven’t seen him that angry
” They hurt her. They sh0t her. Why would the coven do such a thing ? I just wanna talk , and if they don’t wanna talk , we’re gonna fight.”
” Arden plea-se. I’ll be fine.” I said with a sigh.
” But that was unfair. I’m coming with you.” Dylan said but Arden decline.
” I’ll go alone. I just want you guys to be here for her , I won’t stay long.” Arden said and pick up a t-shi-t as he left the room.
” We’re sorry.” Dylan said once Arden was out of the room. Derek flash me a smile and t©uçh my forehead.
” Are you okay ? Like better ?” Derek ask me looking at me intensely.
” I’m better. You guys are here. How’s Elna ?”
He grin like a girl and smiled broadly.” She’s fine. She’s worried about you though , we told her you’re good.”
” Are all vampire covens like Havens ?”
” Hating on witches ?”
I shrug and nod. Derek sigh and look over at Dylan. ” Maybe.”
” Maybe ? Because of hybrids ?”
” It’s stupid, we know.”
” It’s barbaric and not really cool. They keep on hurting people because they think they are trying to help. In some cases I don’t really blame them.” I remark.
” Seriously ?” Dylan ask. I bit my l!pand chuckle. ” What’s gonna be like ? Arden confronting them ?”
” He’s gonna fight. He’s an as-s-hole.” Dylan said as we both laugh.
” He won’t do that right ?”
” I’m sure he will.” I roll my eyes and sigh. Of course he won’t fight . I mean why would he ? It’s fruitless and not worth it.
” Who’s hungry ?” Derek ask looking at Dylan and then me.
” I’m hungry.” I said with a wi-de grin wi-nking at Dylan who’s staring at me with a boyish sm-irk.
” I’ll prepare something, I’ll be back.”
” How are you feeling ?” Dylan ask once Derek step out of the room.
” I’m okay.”
” No you’re not. I’m really sorry about what happened. In cases like this , the positive sides are always hopeless. Let’s just hope Arden doesn’t fight there.” Dylan said with a cute smile.
” I just hope so too.”

ARDEN :
.
” What did you do that for ?” I ask the council elders. It seems they were busy and I’m sure it’s about Alita. Why can’t they just leave her alone ?
” Arden..” Carina called my name giving me her creepy stares.
” What’s he doing here ? You’ve always ran away from your coven.” Darren point out. I’ve always hated him , so annoying.
” Because you all are bad people. What did Alita do to deserve the men you s£nt to kill her ?”
” Oh you mean the guys she killed ?” br@den ask and furrow his brows.
” You guys should leave her alone ?”
” And what if we don’t ? What are you gonna do ?”
” I’m backing up. I’m giving up the throne. Go ahead and str!p me off my powers I don’t fv¢kin care.”
” You’re joking right ?” Carina ask.
” I’m not joking. I love her and I won’t watch anyone kill her because she’s a witch.”
” You couldn’t pl@yyour role well because of a common witch. You’re the next king but you’ve successfully disgrace the entire coven. Arden what did she feed you with ?”
” I don’t wanna be king.” I scoff looking intensely at them.
” Then who should be king ? The hybrid child ?”
” He’s a person and you know he’s the true heir to the throne. St©p trying to control the affairs of the throne. Leave alita alone , if you wanna hurt her then you should possibly come throu-gh me first.”
” Arden have you lost you manners ?”
” I don’t fv¢kin care. What makes you all think killing her will make me stay away from her. I don’t wanna be king , I don’t want Jasmin , I don’t want you to control my life and tell me what to do and who to love. Stay out of my $h!t. Everyone of you..”
” Arden !!” Carina snap at me.
” Come with me.” She whisper walking ahead of me. I turn to glare at this stupid elders before following Carina.
” What’s the meaning of that ?” She ask shutting the door and standing in front of me.
” Meaning of what ?”
” Talking to the elders like that. Have you forgotten their positions.”
” I don’t give a fv¢k. I’m also a crown prince and I’m royalty.”
” Arden they made you.”
” Nob©dy made me.” I said looking at Carina who’s alre-ady taken by what ever thing that happened. ” I want you guys to stay away from her.”
” Arden , how many people can you fight for her ? The entire coven or what ?” She ask taking a seat and pouring coffee for herself.
I sigh and shove my hands inside my pockets. She tilt her head with a sm-irk trying to remind me she just ask me a question. Of course I don’t have an answer.
” Do you love her that much ?”
” You know I do.”
” I don’t think so.” She scoff slightly shaking her head and sipping her coffee.
” What do you mean you don’t think so ?” I ask her gripping to the arm rest of her chair. We were almost close with her dark eyes staring at mine still sipping her coffee.
” Are you trying to k!ssme ?” She flir-ts.
” Why would I do that ?”
” Because you’ve always wanted me.”
” Carina , that was before. You don’t wanna go about telling people I sle-pt with you , right ?”
She chuckle and keep her coffee aside.
” Do you want a mistress advise ?” She ask and wi-den eyes , grinning at me.
I didn’t answer and I’m not even in the mood for that. She cu-p my cheek and gently push me to stand up as she stood up too. Her hands loop around my n£¢k and sm-irk at me.
” If you love her , you’ll let her go.” I roll my eyes and re-move her hands from my shoulders.
” I can’t.”
” You will…” She sm-irk again and slowly trace her hands up and down my che-st.
” Carina can’t you just help ? You’re one of the oldest elder around in the coven , you’re just trying to make things ha-rd for me just because we had S-x.” She laughs and turn to drink from her coffee again.
” Why her ?”
” She makes me feel different. I like who I am when I’m with her.”
” Who you’re ? Who are you when you’re with her, hmm ?” She raise her brows and sip from her coffee again.
” Why did you choose to speak with me ?”
For once she sigh de-eply and sit down again dropping the coffee on the coffee table.
” I just think I should tell you this. You can’t fight against your own coven because of a witch. They will turn their backs against you and take your life too. Arden how many people can you fight because of her. You can’t just wake up in the morning and decide to change history. Derek’s a hybrid and the other council members are not willing to change their hybrid rules. Derek can’t be king. But if you choose to ignore their warnings and go on with alita , you’ll keep on endangering her life. Havens will come after you , they will str!p you off your powers and take your life. Is it worth it ? Just as-sume you weren’t royalty , they might have easily overlook it and possibly the vampire had to live the coven forever and he or she will be seen as a betrayer. You’re a prince , to the coven and of course to your father’s throne. You can’t st©p anything. If you truly love her like you claim you will let her go and s£nd her to Amazon where she truly belongs. She’s not yours Arden. They will never accept a witch and you know that. St©p trying to get her killed. And by the way i wasn’t p@rt of the murder attempt on her.”
She doesn’t make any s-en-se. Even if she’s right , I can’t just let her go like that. What about my feelings ?
” She’s not the only girl Arden. You still have Jasmin.”
” $h!t , fv¢k my life. I don’t even love Jasmin. I can’t just ignore the feelings I have towards her because I’m a stupid vampire and then my coven doesn’t want her because I’m a so called prince. Carina , i don’t want to be a prince. Just take everything , the throne , the powers , the titles , everything I just don’t want them.”
” Should we take your life too ?” There she goes again. What’s the reason for dying when I can’t be with her.
” She’s gonna suffer the pains you know that right ?”
” Tell your elders to let her go while i make my decisions.” I yell at her.
” You shouldn’t get angry , I hate your anger. Getting angry won’t change anything. They don’t want her and they would never want her. Get rid of her Arden.”
” Do not tell me what to do.” I thun-der as her coffee cu-p broke.
I took in several breaths and look away from her. She look at her coffee and then avert her gaze at me.
” I hate your powers.” She point out.
I scoff and punch the wall leaning my head against it with my back towards her. I shut my eyes and tried to think about Alita , it’s definitely gonna make me relax.
” You should give them my message. Tell Darren and the rest of your hopeless council to stay away from her or they should bring the war , I don’t mind taking their lives myself. They are just cowards and they should stay the fv¢k away from her.”
” Arden..” I walk out of her room and angrily shut the door.

The ride to my house was really intense. I got out of my car and walk to the living room. Derek was talking to Dylan and Alita when I entered. She seems happy even after being sh0t. They st©p talking and turn to look at me. I raise my brows and smile before sitting down.
” You’re okay ?” They ask.
I looked at Alita and her eyes were ma-king me sad. It hurts that I can’t protect her not with this stupid council and their old fashion rules.
” Lita , can you go upstairs ? plea-se ?” She shrug and nod before walking out.
” Did you fight with anyone ?”
” I can’t even remember when last I fought.” I chuckle and bit myl-ip.
” They won’t let her be till they are sure we’re not together. Carina think it’s nice I let her go. I’m not even re-ady to do that.”
” What did you tell them ?” Derek ask.
” I told them to bring the war that I’m re-ady.”
Dylan shake his head at once.” No. No one is bringing any war. You can’t fight your own people , it’s not right. Fighting don’t really make things easier. I think we should talk to them and father.”
” Dylan’s right. All these are happening because they don’t want more hybrids. I think you should talk to Carina too.”
” She is an as-s. She’s always annoying. They won’t listen. They believe I shouldn’t change things because I’m in love with a witch.” I scoff and relax on the couch.
” I nee-d someone to talk to. A person who can talk to the elders.” I said.
” Lou..”
” What ?” I sit up and furrow my brows .
” You should take Alita with you and go visit Lou. She missed you by the way. She will gladly help. I’ll help talk with father and maybe Carina. Nob©dy’s fighting.” Dylan said.
The last time i saw Lou , I was little, like a teenager. She stays in Greece and she’s like my Nana. She’s highly respected in Havens and one of the oldest vampire we had.
” Talk to her about himiko. She could possibly bring a solution. You were her favorite though.” Derek tease and I laugh.
” Thanks guys. I’m really grateful.”
” You should go talk to her.” I nodded and climb up the stairs.
” Hey..” I knock on my room door to snap her out of Mars cause she was lost in thinking.
I walk in and shut the door. She turn around and hvg me at once. I didn’t notice she has been crying till I heard her sniffle.
” It’s okay. I just want you to be happy.”
” They don’t want me right ?” She ask and raise her head to look at me still hvgging me.
” Go pick out few clothes. We’re traveling.” I told her and k!ssher temple.
” Traveling ? Where ?”
” Greece.”
