Chapter 22: Date Night

(s****l Content)

A Few Months Later

Jasper

So many things have been going on since the Luna Ceremony, I have been busy doing my duties as the King Consort helping with a few businesses with my husband, and starting a new venture of my own. Marie is away on vacation with Elijah's mother in Dragonmare since Marie befriended, Heather, Domicic's live-in girlfriend, and hopefully, he mates her as the crown requested. Elijah has been working in secret on certain projects and Piot is in the human territory trying to track down his missing daughter. Since my encounter with her, I admit that I may have overreacted, Piot apologized to me on so many occasions that I had to remind him that it was water under the bridge and to love her no matter what. I hope they find a cure soon since she wasn't born like that and was made like that by poison, I also hope they find out who did that to her. I also plan a dinner for Elijah since we haven't had much private time lately as things started to get heated with Roman.

A lot of the staff were surprised that I loved to cook and did a lot of gourmet meals for my mates and kids, my daughters lived at home. They are not mated yet and Eli lives in an apartment in the city in a building I owned, he lives in a penthouse and has his own business in advertising. Our daughters Elie and Janet are more like their mother, they are hoping to be mated to the same guy as they have never not shared anything since birth. Eli also runs the Royals magazine keeping up with the Royals, only factual information about everyone which beats out the gossip magazines on our everyday life. He gives much coverage about Roman as needed and with Aidan being back, he runs more on the Valmores which pisses Roman off. Aidan loved it, telling Elijah to let Eli keep up with running it so they could see Roman lose favor with the people.

I had Elijah's favorite wine chilled and the table set for two after sending meals to my daughters who were staying in watching movies in their private lounge tonight. Toffe's wedding was also coming up and we were invited again, this time security would be spiced up so what happened at Luna Michelle's wedding would not happen again. That was one hell of a surprise for us but we handled it the best we could and Aidan was able to attend his honeymoon after all. Ty also elopes and Addison is pregnant with his pup, Drax is still having issues with his mates but according to Elijah, love always wins in the end. Elijah was also invited to Barron's wedding coming up soon and I was happy for him, it's about time he chose his Queen. Eli has broken up with his girlfriend because he has been going through some stuff and it wasn't fair to her, rumor has it, that he found his mate and it's complicated.

Eli never confirmed or denied that was the reason and hopefully, he will confide in Elijah or me if he is more comfortable telling me. I went to our quarters to get ready as Elijah just messaged that he was leaving the office soon, I was having butterflies in my stomach every time I heard his name or saw a message from him. I was so in love with him, that I never thought I could have this happiness or expect to be in a triad as a commoner because only a royal gets to be in a triad. However, if you study it, Marie was also a commoner and so was Mina, I guess looking at it through that lens, we were lucky. Marie also loves Elijah and we know that he loves us through the bond, he never hides it and I respect that about him. I guess the vicious Vampire King only shows his softer side to us and his friends.

After my shower, I changed into something more comfortable, it was black slacks and a white t-shirt and I went to check on the table. Elijah went straight to the bedroom to change and shower in our bathroom as he mind-linked me, "Give me a few minutes, love," and closed the link. I felt his love in the bond and I smiled as I lit the candles on the table, I felt a hand go around me as I lit the last candle feeling a kiss on my neck before I felt his bite, I moaned and he whispered, "Always the best dinner," and I smiled leading him to the table so we could eat. I made his favorite as he looked at the prime steak with his steamed veggies and his wine, he also had blood in a glass and he smiled. We ate in silence as we were both hungry and had our share of blood. We talked about his work and I talked about mine, in all it was an enjoyable dinner.

Elijah

I was in touch with Piot, he had a lead on Lauren that he was following, Lauren had killed men in the human territory and they were actively looking for her. We wanted to find her before our secret of a supernatural world was discovered, one of the things the moon goddess feared. Lauren is being labeled a serial killer and honestly, they won't hesitate to torture her before killing her and she won't hesitate to kill either, it is in our genes to go defensive, especially with her mind so messed up. I will not kill my daughter don't care how much elders are requesting it for the safety of my people. I hate lying to Marie and Jasper about this but it is necessary for now and I hope that I don't have to tell them unless I need their help, then I would have no choice. Marion knows and has found a way to help with the voices in her head so she can settle down and be a functioning member of society again.

I pulled up to the house and I could sense Jasper in the dining room and I let him know that I would meet him in a few minutes, I wanted to freshen up first. I took a quick shower and headed down to my mate, I watched him gracefully light the candles, he made me so vulnerable around him and of course, I could never stop thinking about him or Marie. After our dinner, we talked about many things but all I could think about was, how much my life had changed since being mated to Marie and Jasper. I do miss Sherise and I felt horrible about never getting a chance to be with her and our unborn child. I will forever regret ever getting with Jonx, he brought so much pain to families over the years that almost caused a war among territories and I hope he is still burning in the underworld. I was blinded by love as I loved him so much that I didn't see the evil that he was.

We walked to the bedroom to turn in for the night and decided to video call Marie to check in before we got some sleep, she was beautiful. Marie however had other plans, she decided to let us watch her play with herself using some toys and we didn't mind at all. We loved how flustered she looked as she fingers herself leaking juices, we played with each other's c***s waiting in delight and when she c*m. She blew a kiss at us telling us to enjoy and we looked at each other with our hardened c***s before Jasper decided to place his mouth on my c**k making it all about me but this time, I wanted us to connect and I returned the favor. We were making out heavily on the bed kissing and drinking from each other, while the music slightly played in the background. I was pounded into Jasper from behind as our sweaty bodies collided, the loud moans in the room drowned out the music as we both were high in our s****l bliss.

Jasper was a moaning mess begging me for more c**k, he started to shake as I hit his spot and I knew he was about to be pushed over the edge. I couldn't believe how good he felt feeling the tingles of our bond, I grabbed his hair feeling my release approaching as he started pumping his c**k, he moaned, "f**k," as I empty my seed in his ass. He plastered the sheets with his c*m and we both lay next to each other exhausted, we eventually took showers where we made out again and changed the sheets. We cuddled until I felt him drift off to sleep, I got a message on my phone as I was about to turn in with Piot saying, "I found Lauren and she is banged up pretty badly." I snuck out of bed kissing my mate on his forehead and headed down to meet Piot walking through a portal with King Dragu, Marion's husband. Lauren was unconscious and we saw she had been violated, Piot said, "I killed a few men who figured out what she was and were trying to kill her after they finished.....," he hugged her to his chest.

I knew what he was going to say and my heart hurt for my daughter, I was failing her badly, Piot loved my daughter and Drugu had the potion that Marion cooked up and I was ready for Lauren to settle. Dragu gave the potion to her through a syringe after the nurses cleaned her up, they made sure to give her something so she wouldn't get pregnant. I have a therapist on hand so she could talk to them if she needs to, Kenna ran to the room with tears, she loved Lauren. Piot told me everything and Dragu sent men to clean up the mess Piot left behind. I asked Dragu about Marion and he smiled saying, "She is visiting a friend in the underworld," I could see that it bothered him but he looked at me saying, "I trust her, Elijah, it's him I don't trust," before he left.
