Legend Of The Moon Princess
Episode 25

Third Person POV

Jeremiah had just thrown Remus across the lawn as Apollo and Melody got closer to them, Luca and Jeremiah both froze as they smelled their mate’s calming and alluring scent of lavender and honey. Apollo dashed between them to stop the fighting, he kept his guard up. Even though Jeremiah and Luca would kill themselves before ever even thinking about laying a hand on Melody. Ethan knew and understood that Melody was the only one that could stop these two from killing each other, he was worried that his sister was losing too much b***d and pushing herself too hard. He wished that she remembered that no matter what, with or without her mates, that him and Terrance would always have her back. If he and Terrance had to put her mates on their asses, then so be it.

Jeremiah stepped forward only to stop when he heard Remus growling again. He was not going to lose his true mate, but he had to tread carefully to avoid her being injured anymore than she already was. “What are you doing with my mate, mutt?” Jeremiah snarled at Ethan. This snapped Remus out of his rage. ‘WHAT?! This leech is one of her other mates?’ Luca practically screamed at his wolf. ‘It would appear so. That means we can’t kill him.’ Remus told his human. Killing someone’s true mate/mates, was as if you were killing them.

Luca understood that, but that didn’t mean he had to be happy about it. Melody looked at both her mates and smiled weakly. “I know I have some explaining to do, mate, but these wolves are with me. They are-” She was cut off by the throbbing pain of her body. She had pushed it to its limits. Her eyes rolled in the back of her head and she fell off Apollo’s back. Jeremiah dashed and caught her just in time. Melody was completely unconscious and her heart rate was slowing down. Jeremiah looked at the wolves. “We will talk inside. She needs to get back to the clinic.” Apollo and Remus nodded and followed Jeremiah.

‘Terrance, we are following this guy. It seems that he is Mel’s next mate.’ Ethan mind linked Terrance. ‘Roger that, on my way.’ he replied. Then in a flash of lighting, Thor was in front of them. He whimpered as he saw his little sister bleeding and unconscious. Thor leaned down and let Zezar down. “Get on his back and tell Terrance where to go. He is the fastest one here.” Zezar told Jeremiah and without missing a beat Jeremiah climbed on the giant wolf’s back and told him where the clinic was. Crashing through a few doors, Thor had made it to the clinic in seconds. A few minutes later, Ethan and the others showed up. Ethan and Luca both in human form and only wearing jeans. Zezar rached into the bag and pulled out another pair of jeans for Terrance. Not caring for his nakedness. Terrance shifted right in the hallway and slipped on the jeans.

Anna came out to update Jeremiah about the condition Melody was in. “Your majesty. We stitched up the wound and stopped the bleeding, but she lost so much b***d. She needs a transfusion ASAP.” She told him with sadness in her eyes. “Take our b***d.” The twins yelled in unison. Anna looked at them questionably. “She is our baby sister.” Ethan said. “The three of us are triplets.” Terrance added. Anna’s eyes widened and looked hopeful. She wasted no time and practically dragged the twins into the room.

“I guess that explains why they are here.” Jeremiah said to no one in particular. Then he turned to Zezar and Luca. “But why are you two here?” he asked, glaring daggers at Luca… who was returning the same expression. Zezar cleared his throat to bring Jeremiah’s attention to him. “That would be better explained by Melody herself, Sir.” He said with a little bow. “Melody. Her name is Melody.” Jeremiah said. He and Logan loved the way her name sounded coming out of their mouth. ‘What a perfect name for our mate. Her voice alone is as soothing as a sweet lullaby.’ Logan said their mind.

Luca lightly growled. “You didn’t even know her f*****g name?” He growled out. Jeremiah returned to glaring at Luca. “Well a lot of s**t went down about ten minutes after we met, so there was no real chance for proper introductions.” he snarled at Luca. The hallway filled with the intense aura of both Luca and Jeremiah, until Anna burst out the door and glared at both of them. “Would you idiots knock it off! This tense aura around her is not going to help her any. I think that is why she dashed out before to prevent you two from killing each other.” They both looked at this short woman in shock. “She is going to need a lot of rest and relaxation. This tense issue between you two is not going to work. If you can’t play nice for her sake then you two need to leave and keep your distance from each other and her.” Anna stated point blank before returning to the room where Melody and the twins were.

Jeremiah and Luca were wide eyed and speechless as the little woman left. Zezar tried his best to stifle his laugh. “Well since we are waiting for the sleeping beauty to wake up and feel better, how about we go somewhere and introduce ourselves?” Zezar suggested. Jeremiah and Luca shot him a quick look, then they nodded. “We can go to the library.” Jeremiah said as he led the way. Luca and Zezar followed.

Once in the library, Jeremiah sat down in an armchair and rubbed his hand over his face. “This day has been so eventful and confusing that I don’t know where to start.” he said, as Luca and Zezar settled down on a nearby couch. “I think that would be an understatement at this point. So who do we have the pleasure of speaking to?” Zezar asked with a kind smile. He still feels uncomfortable meeting new people, but he was trying to keep the peace between Melody’s mates until she woke up.

Jeremiah sat up a little bit and looked them both in the eye. “My name is Jeremiah Ainsworth. I am the king of the vampires.” Zezar and Luca widen their eyes in surprise. “Is that king of the vampires in only Europe or Russia?” Luca asked. Jeremiah shook his head. “No, I am the king of all the vampires of the world.” Luca was stunned. “How is that possible?” He asked. “I am a royal pure b***d. All vampires are compelled to serve and obey me.” Zezar nodded. “Well your highness, my name is Zezar Locksworth. My father is the royal warlock for Luca’s pack. The Royal Moon pack.” Jeremiah nodded to Zezar and then turned towards Luca. Luca cleared his throat. “I’m Prince Luca Higgins. I am the future alpha of the Royal Moon pack and future king of the werewolves in North America.”

“Well that explains why you were holding your own against me. Normally, even alpha wolves are pretty easy for me to handle. You actually gave me a challenge.” Jeremiah smirked at the last part of his sentence. “So tell me a little bit about Melody.” Jeremiah said, with a far off look in his eyes. To Luca’s surprise he and Remus didn’t feel jealous about him asking about Melody. Like it was normal for them to talk to each other about her. It must be part of the mate bond. Luca thought to himself.

So for the next hour, Luca and Zezar told Jeremiah what they learned about Melody in the few weeks they have known her. Jeremiah picked up on how Luca seemed to have feelings for his mate, and yet he felt calm. Usually when a male talks about one’s mate with feelings or l**t, it spikes the jealousy in them, but he felt nothing when Luca spoke about Melody. He would have to replace someone to help him understand this. “How about we go check on how Melody is doing now?” Jeremiah suggested, standing up from his chair. Luca and Zezar stood up as well. “Lead the way.” Luca said with a smile.
