I sat next to Kronos, our hands locked together. We stared at the council who were preparing to explain whatever it is to us.

"Natalia, is an original witch. The original witch. She is the same woman who has ruined the relationship between you and all the other reincarnations before. But even still, her plan to take over fails. All because she goes after the wrong person." A woman speaks first. They were all in grey, white, or black.

My eyes widened and I looked to Kronos who looked sick. "Kronos...you're old too." I wasn't saying that I didn't care about my mate having...sexual relations with Natalia but he shouldn't act like he was so young. He glared at me, our attention was turned back to the council as they laughed.

"So you're saying the one Natalia should have been going for all these life times is my mate? Adina?" Kronos asks, his hand holding mine more securely. They nod their heads.

"What always happens? Why does this cycle keep happening...." I pause, remembering the dream I had. My hand goes to my belly. I try to swallow the lump in my throat. "She-she kills me." I answer myself. The council looks down solemnly.

"What?!" Kronos booms. I winced, "Why haven't you fixed this before?!" Kronos was now standing, looming over the group of elders.

"Kronos, please. Sit down, let's just talk about this and how we could work around it." I had a hold on his arms, tugging on him. His eyes shot down to mine, and he slowly took a seat. I smiled at him, trying my best to mask the fear I had.

"You've been having visions, Adina?" A man asks, I slowly nod my head.

"I usually have them, only with big things. I know when it's a real thing when blood is shown in the dream-or vision." I spiel looking back towards Kronos who looked at me with a sad little puppy look. I smile and reach over to touch his face. I rub my thumb against his strong cheekbone.

"King Kronos, you can trust us. We will be protecting Adina with everything we have. If not the Gods will be taking things into their hands." Kronos straightened his shoulders, his face set in a dangerous look.

"If not I hope you know the repercussions. I have your faces engraved in my mind. If you fail me your hearts will fail you." Kronos said promisingly.

I awkwardly clear my throat, "Thank you for the tea. It really helped, it brought my voice back so quickly." The witches smile and nod their heads.

"Shall we take you back to the room you'll be staying in? Oh and Adina please be sure the King drinks this tea every night, every last bit." I nod my head, taking a look at the box of herbs the woman lifted.

Gabriel and Charmeine walked in, Kronos and I stood up and followed them.

"Are you okay? You woke up so soon...did you even get enough rest?" I asked Kronos as he pulled me onto his lap as we sat in bed in our new room. He chuckled, looking utterly exhausted.

"Why do you care so much?" He said sounding almost serious. I give him a scornful look shaking my head. "I don't need rest, gorgeous I need blood. I can't hunt around here since it's sacred ground." Kronos explains, leaning in and kissing my cheek.

"Oh." I said, I looked him over. "What happens if you don't eat?" I question.

"Oh, hm, the last time I went on a spree." He said nonchalantly. I tilted my head curiously.

"A spree?" I repeated, he grinned at me chillingly.

"I turn into the notorious Demon King. What you saw that day, that's what happens but I usually have some sort of control," He shrugs his shoulders. I licked my dry lips, trying not to show the discomfort I was feeling.

"How many people did you kill?" I whispered as if what he did was a secret that no one else knew about.

He shrugs his shoulders, using his long fingers to tuck in my ghostly hair behind my ear. "A lot, I can't really remember. It went on the rampage for maybe three-five years?" My jaw dropped.

"Kronos!" I scolded.

"What! It was when my parents woken me up after years of keeping me away in my coffin for my term of reign!" I shake my head, still upset of the loss of lives. "If it makes you feel better I never sipped a drop of blood from a child." I give him a dull look.

It's been a week and I could tell the effect of Kronos not feeding on blood was putting him through. He was moodier than ever, more demanding than he's ever been.

"Opal I don't think it's a good idea...he hasn't eaten in maybe about two weeks. Your blood is very addictive to demons since it's pure. He might just kill you." Charmeine says with a worried look on his face.

"She's right, Opal. He's on edge, I've seen it. He's barely keeping his inner demon in check." Gabriel tunes in.

"What else is there to chose from? I can't let him go on some murder spree. I trust him." I say without hesitation.

The two look at each other and sigh. "Alright. We'll be close." Gabriel says with a small smile. As he turn to walk away Charmeine mouths a good luck to me, running back to catch up with Gabriel.

I nibble on my lip and open the door to our room. Kronos was there the sun vibrant in the room. His eyes were closed, his muscles tense as he laid in bed. He had pain written all over him. I reach the edge of the bed, "Kronos," I take a seat on his lap. His eyes open, flickering to black and scarlet. I raise my wrist pressing it against his lips.

He started to shake his head. "No, Adina. I could lose control, there's too many factors that'll make me lose focus-" I kiss him. Shutting him up.

"I trust you. Just do it." He takes in a deep breath through his nose. I hold my wrist up again this time Kronos take my arm gently, pressing a kiss to my wrist. His eyes stare into mine, I gasp as I watch his mouth open. Our chests press together as I hide my face into his neck, his teeth sinking into my skin.

I didn't feel the same awful pain when Istvan had drank from me. Instead tingles and a buzzing sensation started from the source and is flowing all over my body.

I look up hazily as Kronos' black veins form over his eyes. "K-Kronos." I whimper out, he pulls away from my wrist. Breathing in heavily, his chest falling up and down, matching my own. He licked his lips and I felt myself shudder as a beat travels down to my core. He fists my hair and pulls me down to his lips. A soft passionate kiss that travels down to my neck, I moan out as he licks that sensitive spot he's found before. I grip his shoulders, anticipating the sinking of his teeth.

He teases me, kissing and nipping at the area. Until finally he bites into me. His hand grabs my bottom, adding to the pleasure I was feeling.

His hand traveled up the curve of my body, while the other kept a firm lock on my head so I wouldn't move. My hands tangle in Kronos' hair my eyes slowly falling as I start to fade. My body going limp in his arms.

"Fuck, fuck. There, I'm done. Baby, are you okay." Kronos says, laying me in his arms. I chuckled, feeling a bit delusional. I shakily raised my hand, using my fingers to brush my blood that was dripping down the side of his mouth away.

"I knew I could trust you." I spoke with a weak voice. He let out a breath, ducking his head down, he kissed the now tender spot.

"Soon, baby, I'm gonna test to see if this taste as good as your blood." My lips parted as he cupped a sensitive area.
