Chapter 8

~LILY'S POV~

As I was running along the hallway I didn't know where I was going I was just running, running from them especially Newt. I hope he doesn't follow me. In an instant someone came in front of me , I couldn't stop and that's how I ended up in his arms bumping into him.

When I looked up to see the person, I sighed in relief knowing he's Ruel. Thank God it's him. From the start I feel a connection with him, I don't feel uncomfortable like with others. I feel something different which I've never felt before not even with Aiden, Is it because of soulmate pull or whatever I don't care,I just like this feeling.

"Ruel!"

"Are you -"

Before he could say something I said something unexpected because of my stupidness. Oh Gosh.....

"Are you here to kill me because I rejected to break up!"

I know , I know I'm an idiot. I wanted to tell him that Aiden is not my boyfriend and hell we aren't even friends. The way he's eyes went wide at my words. I could feel it he's not here to hurt me, but then why he's here, Shouldn't he be with his brother actually....

"No Lily! I can't even think to hurt you!" Ruel

"Then why are you here?"

"I'm here for you love, I was worried for you."Ruel

I blushed at his words and honestly, I could see the concern in his eyes. He came for me and I acted rude with him. I know he cares for me but I just can't believe it I don't know why but.....

"Let's get you to your room hmm! You should get rest, I know it was a long day for you my flower." Ruel

He softly smiles at me and I love his smile but I just hope it's only for me. I've not seen him smile with others. And I also don't want others to see his precious smile. He's min..... Gosh Stop it.

He takes my hands in his and puts his other hand on my waist and I just snuggled in his chest, he smells good and in a minute I was Infront of my room's door. I knew he used his vampire speed. He informed me we reached but I just didn't want to let go of him just not yet but I had to... When I turned to leave, he suddenly back hugged me and kissed on my head making me all red and left from there without saying anything, leaving me still. What will he do if I accepted him as my soulmate...

NEXT MORNING ~

I couldn't sleep at all last night, I kept tossing and turning, just thinking about those seven kings especially Newt. Usually I think about Aiden when I try to sleep but I didn't work, I couldn't.

The king's didn't show up for the evening meal last night Joy told me as I also didn't go so Joy told me about this, which had everything thing one question for their absence and that was why. I knew why ofcourse and I've only told Joy of the news.

Ofcourse I told my best friend and I had no choice to tell her since I literally burst into room like my life depended on it. She was a little disappointed that Ren was one of my soulmate, knowing there's no chance of her going there now since his attention will be on me but she was happy for me in a strange way. She even told me that she thinks I would be better off with them than Aiden and I couldn't believe it when she says that. We stopped talking about this in case it led to an argument.

Even though we arrived yesterday we have two days of free time getting to know our surroundings and plus it's the weekend anyway so it would make sense to start the lessons on Monday.

I was so looking forward to this weekend because I planned to confess this weekend but Mr.Paul the butler knocked on my door this morning to hand me my own schedule and it read that I was meant to meet with the king's again and spend time with them.

I fell like I had no choice but to do that. My dad pulled me to the side yesterday evening to tell me the after math of what happened when I left from there and let's just say he's lucky that he's known them for a very long or otherwise he would of been dead since Newt couldn't get to me he tried to attack my dad for the first time ever but thanks to Han and Jin they stopped him as Ruel was with me at that moment. Even more reason to not like Newt now I'm on my opinion.

I sigh to myself thinking about my original plans for the first day in this place, it was to visit garden with Aiden, Joy and Alice but now it's planned differently.

Checking my face in the mirror once more for any left over tooth paste from brushing my teeth and making my way out the bedroom I share with Joy.I didn't have to say my goodbye since she already left with Alice.

I was instructed that everytime I would meet up with king's it would be in their office first and then just go from there.The rest of what we're going to do is unclear.

Ofcourse I texted Joy to let Aiden know if he asked that I was requested to meet with kings to get to know each other more since my dad works for them and and Joy texted back that he actually asked and bought it. I didn't want him to know the real reason just because my soulmates thinks he's my boyfriend.

As I walked down the hallway I checked my phone once more for any texts but none other than the one from my mother wishing me good luck with today. My big guess is that my dad told her what happened yesterday.

Reaching the double wooden doors again I stopped to think about the memory of what happened yesterday. I don't want it to happen again, I really do want to get to know them but only on a friendship level. They've worked with my dad in a way for hundreds of years and I'm fascinated by their way if life and their home, it's beautiful.

I knocked on the door once,just once and I was immediately pulled in through the door for my face to collide with a chest and a hand running through my hair.

"Hi."

There's that deep voice again. He comes across as shy right now because if the memory of last night and I also couldn't help but get blushed but something tells me he could possibly hold the same temper as Newt, infact I think they all do.

"Hi."

I simply say back, already feeling flustered.

"Ruel let her go. She just got here." Jin

He comes into view as Ruel let's me go with a little smile before turning around to stand Infront of the fire place next to Luke who again was staring at me with no expression. But I'm going to ignore him and Newt today and just concentrate on other five Vampires.

"It's good to see you again Lily." Jin

"Thank you. You too."

We both bow to one another at the same time and I froze before bursting into giggles. I was about to ask why he bows since he's royal king but Han's voice stopped me.

"Hey Lily! you came." Han

He's now stood next to Jin and he was smiling, like properly smiling showing off his little cute dimples on each cheek.I just wanted to pinch them.

"Yes thank you for having me again."

I bowed again and he bowed back. Even though they want me to listen to them and breakup with no boyfriend I might as well be polite, there's no harm.

Sudden arms wrapped around me from behind which startled me, and his nose brushed last my neck taking a sniff.

"I didn't think you would come after Newt yesterday with his disrespectful behavior."

He took another deep sniff before heavily sighing and pulling away to now stand in front of me with his hand in mine. It didn't fell awkward so I didn't pull away from him, friends can hold hands, Can't they? The boy/girl type friends, ugh, it doesn't matter anyway, it's not like anyone would know.

"You look amazing as ever."

He pulled my hand into the air with his and forced me to do a slow spin around.

"Nice."

He licked his lips, as his eyes travelled up and down my body.

"Ren you big flirt, control your urges! You stick of hormones." Jin

Jin rolled his eyes to then pick up a glass of something before sniffing it and then taking a sip of whatever it was. Since his cup was silver I couldn't see what it was but my guess was blood by the way he smelt it before drinking. I didn't looked at his way afterwards because I don't like it. I never liked my parents drinking blood Infront if my eyes I just couldn't.

Ren then proceeded to guide me to the sofa and gesture for me to sit next to him, with Damon already sitting in the other side.

"So what do you want to do today?" Han

The question shocked me. I thought they were going to pick ?

"Oh erm, I don't really know. What is there to do around here?"

"Anything you like." Damon

He whispered in my ear, that caused goosebumps on my skin from the shivers down my spine.

"There's a music room, art room and even theater room. You can watch anything you like there." Jin

"How about the garden?" Luke

That was the first time I heard his voice. It shocked me to hear how deep and husk his voice was at that moment but his eyes were in me but thus time his lips curved into a very very small smile.

"Can we do that?"

"To the garden?" Ren

He stared into my eyes when I looked at him as he asked me. I nodded at him, giving him a smile which in return he smiled back and giggled. All just because I smiled at him, okay then?

"Yes, I'd love to see your garden."

"Fine." Newt

I leaned back in the sofa to look up at him from behind me. He had his body pressed against the back of the sofa where I'm sat and stares down at me with a cocked eyebrow. What's he staring at?

I scoffed quietly and sat back up from sofa.

"HA!" Ruel

Jin wacked him in the chest with a scowl and Ruel just rubbed his chest with a frown and staring at him in disbelief.

"Let's go then!" Ren

He stoop up and pulled me up with him. I felt another hand slipped into mine and it turned out to be Damon who avoided my eye contact, he looked cute.

Han opened the door to the office and we all walked out together as they showed me the way from their office.
