CHAPTER 21

~LILY'S POV~

"For the last time Aiden, go way!"

I tried to run from him in the garden from our last class but he won't listen. He's been trying to talk to me even more but this time it's to not listen to his excuses but to try and tell me that vampires are dangerous for me to be around. If I didn't know who mi was to them then yeah, I would of agree but i don't. I've gotten to know them a lot more and i trust them already, I could feel the bond between all of us and I have no reason to doubt them.

"Lily listen to me. You are not safe with them." Aiden

He tried to grab my hand but i quickly removed it and try walking faster. Where's Joy when I need her?

Why did I have to tell her I would be fine and meet her in the dinning hall?

I should of just went with her instead of taking time to take some pictures on my phone of some flowers. I know I'll be living here from now on but what's the harm in taking some pictures and editing them later on. A secret hobby of mine.

"Don't touch me Aiden, You lost the right the moment you fucked Alice."

He graoned and picked up the pace to walk beside me.

"This is about that Lily. You need to stay away from them." Aiden

"I can do what i want and You can't stop me, Just leave!"

He sighed and jumped infront of me to stop me from walking.

"Yes I can and i have prove tom show you that they are not who they make out to be Lily. They are just like what everyone says,maybe even worse." Aiden

I roll my eyes and fed up with what he has to say and push him away so i can walk away to the dining room. He stumbled and I just continued to walk, not caring if he fell or banging onto something. He's a jackass.

I walked through the doors, sighing with relief that he didn't try and shout on me again or follow and made way to Joy who had already found us two seats to sit on. She waved at me, smiling as always and I waved back to then sit next to her.

Everyone was starting to take their seats at the huge U shaped table while I sat quietlly waiting to them, Seven vampires walked through those doors. After yesterday Han pinning me to the bed, that's all I could think about. What would of happened if Joy didn't walk back in the room?

I think i know and it sends me butterflies to my stomach at just the thought. He would of bite me and it would of definately led to something more.

"Hey Lily?" Joy

She whispered in my ear and I just hummed, staring at the candle center piece in the middle of the table.

"Has Aiden tried talking to you again?" Joy

I turned more ingto my chair to look at her, frowning.

"Why?"

"Because he's looking at you with those sad pathetic eyes" Joy

She notions to him with her head from across the room with heer eyes on him quickly. I quickly glance at him as he takes a seat, a few seats away from Alice at that and i scoff.

"Yes he has and I pushed him away. He really needs learn to stay away from me and learn his place. He's my past now."

I smiled back at her and she gave me a knowing smile. She knows exactly what I'm talking about and she's so excited I'm moving into the castle permanantly but not only because of this whole mate thing but because she said she could use the excuse to visist the castle more and to spy on Ren. She's made it clear she wouldn't go there but that there's no harm in gazing from afar.

"Yes he is and speaking if your future now here they come!" Joy

She sits back as her eyes turn to the double doors that were held open and I couldn't help but watch them, all seven of them come in. They walk in slow motion, like run away models. I don't know how they do that everytime but oh my god. I could of swoon right here and right now just to see which one would catch me first. Can't they look less hot.

Everyone stands up as they walk in and bow, I just follow everyone else and Ren catches me and burst out of serious bubble to laugh and giggle, making almost everyone inthe room besides me, Joy and mhy dad confused.

"I'm sorry." Ren

He coughed after he calmed down to npw stand by his chair and take a saet. Six of them take their seats but Han remains standing.

"You could all take your seats, thank you." Han

I sit down like everyone else. They have told me I don't have to listen to their instruction when they say stuffs like that or do I have to bow them but i can't do it when i'm with everyone else. It just doesn't seem fair.

"I would actually like to make an announcement but it's to stay within these walls and not to be posted all over the social media or to be discussed with family members until further notice. If these rules are not to be followed then serious consequences will follow. Do you all understand?" Han

Everyone in the room nods including myself. I don't know what he's going to say but the glare he's giving everyone in the room with one brow raised is not only scary and intimidating but i find it rather...sexy.

"Good. Now I would actually like to make an announcement which is that we have found our mate." Han

Oh no.

A series of whispers filled the room and all i could do was look down al my fingers nervously. I never actually thought of what would people think if they find out its me, that I'm bound by the soul to the seven vampires.

Everyone goes back to being silent and i look up again to see Han standing with one arm behind his back and his hand reached out the way to signal everyone to stop and they do. I mean who would piss off the kings, Aiden only got off so easily because I told them not to kill him. He could possibly be dead right now if it wasn't for me.

"In fact she's in this very room." Han

His glance travels to me with a very small smile on his lips and his stare stays on me. causing a few people to start looking at me with a gasp. I already hate attention on me so this was a little embarassing. I mean I'm not ashamed its just everyone's eyes on me the most, i don't like it.

"Lily. Our beautiful mate. But no one is to mention that outside these doors, understood?! If any of you have learned anything about vampires then you would know how important she is to us. So thank you.: Han

He nods and sits back down. The room is quite, with eyes on me and I nervously look down but only to have Joy place her hand over mine on my lap and give me a reassuring smile when I look at her.

"Why are you all looking at her? She didn't snatch your drinks, I did."

What? Drink? I looked up to see what's happening just to see everyone looking at a girl weirdly and that girl holding a glass in her hand staring back everyone with a raised brow. Who is she?

"Eat your food or else I'm gonna snatch your bites too!"

Soon enough everyone become distracted with food but i couldn't help hear my name mentioned a few times from others but that was easy to ignore because their eyes were not on me anymore and its credit goes to that girl. Thank god she distracted them but i don't remember her name as she doesn't talk to anyone in the class.

I couldn't help but noticed Aiden's stare and hold him on that as we stare at each other. Out of everyone I expected him to be the most shocked but no, his expression was blank and emotionless. Did he know already?

Maybe the guys mentioned something to him?

Its possible, they drink from him but he again doesn't even seem to bothered about that. I'll have to ask about that later.

There was a loud bang which caused me to flinch and for our stare to tear apart to look at the source. It was Newt, fists balled up on the table that had a very much noticeable dent as he glared dangerously at Aiden with his red glowing eyes.

I shouldn't of done that and stared at Aiden for so long, not realising the kings would be watching me and they hate Aiden as it is and I don't blame them for doing so, I too hate him just as equally.

A screech of a chair strung out onto the room and all eyes felled on Jin who was standing up from his chair to walk around the table until he came to a stop behind me and lean down beside my ear with his hands gently resting on my shoulders.

His breathe softly hitting my ear, listening to his breathing as he hummed quietly and started to whisper so no one else could here, since everyone in the room was watching, well all except for Joy who was enjoying the scene as some movie.

"You better watch who you are looking at little mate. We are very possessive about what belongs to us. And when something or someone that belongs to us does something we don't really like, let's just say there's ....punishments." Jin

I gulped at the word 'punishment', he even went as far to brush his lips over my ear before giving it a nibble not caring that anyone was in the room.

"I would like to respectfully ask that you meet us in my chamber tonight." Jin

I quickly turned my head to look at him in the eyes.

"Chamber? As in your bedroom?"

He stares right back into my wide ones with his red ones, nodding slowly.

"To meet all of you?"

I whispered and again he nods but this time slowly in closer with his plump lips just one centimeter away from mine.

"Yes, princess all of us." Jin

'P-Princess' I couldn't help but gulp again and slowly turn my head to the other six men, smirking and chuckling, watching me and Jin interact. Nobody else may be able to hear us but judging by my dad's disgusted scrunched up face he could and the knowing looks from the other six kings they defiantly could. Infact Ren licked his lips while Han rubbed his bottom lip with his thumb watching me amusingly and Ruel is smirking. He's smirking? Now there must be something. I mumbled word princess and he nodded.

Now I know what they meant by that, I could tell by their actions and comments from yesterday. The question is can I really do this the way I think I can? Am i fully prepared?

Oh hell yes and I'm more than happy to let them know this time. So I turn back to Jin and smirk myself, so close to his lips i could practically feel them on mine and batting my long eyelashes at him.

"Bring it on then."

I chuckled in triumph when I heard someone not only start choking but also for glass to shatter and the only one I noticed to be holding the glass was Damon. I teased them so bad, then Jin's eyes turned darken into a deep and his smile faded holding my stare.

Plan to tease, successful and complete.

Uhh oh

And now I'm nervous........
