I finished tucking my blouse into my trousers, my mind began wondering about how tonight's events would go.

Tonight Idris along with his mother and father were coming over for dinner, so that we could introduce each other to our parents.

I wasn't worried about my parents as they were both kind hearted, despite them being vampire leaders. It was more so Idris' parents I was nervous about meeting. I had only ever met them once and they weren't exactly the friendliest of Vampires.

What if they didn't like me? What if they hated their own son's mate?

"My my son what has your heart racing? Your mother and I can hear it from downstairs." came my father's deep voice.

I turned around in my spot to smile weakly at him, knowing all to well he could tell I was on edge.

"I'm just worried Papa." I said as he walked up to me. He started fixing the buttons on my sleeve.

"About..?"

"About Idris and his parents, I'm worried they'll think I am not good enough." I said looking up into his eyes. My father being hundreds of years older than me ment his height stood tall above mine.

He looked down at me warmly and pulled me into his chest. I sunk into his hold as he swayed us side to side.

"My dear boy, there is no need to worry. I promise you all will be well, I've met Idris' parents before. They will love you." he said softly.

I smiled and hugged him back tightly. My father always knew how to comfort me when I was down, always knew what to say or what to do.

"Okay Papa. We should probably go downstairs, I can hear footsteps approaching the door."

We pulled back slightly but he still kept his arms wrapped around me as he smiled down at me.

"I'm so proud of you son. It took many decades for your mother and I conceive. And now that your hear and have even found your mate at such a young age..." he lifted his hand to stroke my cheek. "... I couldn't be prouder of who you've become. You'll make a wonderful leader of this coven in years to come Vladimir, I know you will."

My eyes welled up with tears as I stared into his. My father's face holding nothing but pride and love, all directed towards me.

I crashed into his arms again while struggling to keep my tears from falling. He chuckled and rubbed my back soothingly.

"Papa.." I choked out. I gave up trying to keep my tears in and just let them fall. "I love you so much."

"I love you too Vladimir. More than you could ever imagine."

Pulling back again I tried to compose myself, not wanting my face to look all red in front of our guests. Though with our hearing no doubt Idris' parents probably heard us.

My father snapped his fingers causing the flames that were alight on the candles to go out and we exited out of my room.

Trailing down the stairs with my father behind me, a comforting hand on my shoulder, I caught sight of Idris and his parents. They held very stern expressions as my mother spoke with them. They didn't seem mad, more like they were concentrating.

Idris however wasn't listening to what our parents were saying as the only thing he was focused on was me. He watched me as we reached the bottom of the stairs, love swimming in his eyes.

He gave a nod to my father who returned it before smiling at me and walking over to join my mother.

"Hello." he said quietly.

"Hello." I replied even more quietly.

He reached his hand up to my cheek and brushed his thumb against it. My cheeks grew warm when I realised he was stroking a dry tear stain. I smiled weakly at him and he returned a smile.

"Your father is right, you will make a great leader to this coven. And I'll be there beside you every step of the way, for many centuries to come."

My heart swelled with joy at my mates confession, he really was perfect. I forced another round of tears back trying not to break down in front of everyone.

I grabbed him by the waist and pulled him into a loving kiss. Our lips moved slowly against each other as we melted into each other, sparks erupting through us.

Pulling back we rested our foreheads against each others as we panted heavily, with Idris' arms resting on my shoulders. My head felt dizzy and full as I held onto my mate, not wanting to let go. I chuckled as I looked into my mates eyes, his glasses resting low on his nose. His cheeks lit up as he managed a faint smile.

"Our boys." a thick and deep voice rang out.

I looked up and looked at our parents who were all smiling at us.

I looked to Idris' father, Iris, whom the deep voice belonged to. Beside him was his wife Allore. They both stood next to my parents with adoring gazes.

"Dinner is served my lord." one of our maids said making all our heads turn in the direction of the dining room.

"Shall we." my mother spoke as herself and my father made their way into the dinning room and soon enough Idris' parents followed suit.

I smiled and took Idris' hand into mine and we walked in together.

--------

I stood in the grand Hall of our academy with Vladimir to my left who was chatting with Carden.

Myself and Carden were really starting to get along well, I mean it was pretty easy considering he was the only other person besides Vladimir who didn't try to make my life a living nightmare.

I swear people forget that I'll be mated to their future leader.

We were currently attending our academy's monthly ball, an event we were all expected to attend as it showed good character. Since I was new, there had only been a few balls. I had hated all of them and spent most of them alone or I would be tormented by my classmates.

But this month I was with Vladimir and Carden, whom neither left me out of their sight. I was very grateful.

The balls were nothing special as they were only monthly ones. There were candles floating towards the ceiling that gave a dim lighting effect. There were glasses of blood in everyone's hands, including mine and Vladimir's. It was a little treat the academy let us have for every ball but to be honest it was probably just a bribery in order to get people to attend.

A smirk made its way onto my face as I caught Mr Master's making his way over to us and judging by Vladimir's smirk and Carden's blush I think they noticed aswell.

"My apologies gentlemen, but may I steal young Carden here away for the rest of the ball? Him and I have some....business to finish up on in my office." Mr Master's said slyly with a smirk of his own.

"Goodness sake could you be any less descreat?" Carden groaned in embarrassment but judging by the growing tent in his trousers, Mr Master's were without a doubt effecting him.

"Certainly professor. Be sure to let me know if he's becoming too much of a hassle." Vladimir joked that caused Mr Master's to chuckle.

"I'll be sure to do that. Come Carden." he replied as he stuck his arm out and gestured Carden to take hold of it.

Carden glared at Vladimir as he was led out of the hall, no doubt we won't be seeing him for a good while.

A round of instruments playing caught everyone's attention including mine and Vladimir's. A band made up of some students and some professors erupted into chorus as they began to play orchestral pieces.

I looked over to Vladimir and took in his relaxed features. He was truly stunning and a loving mate to have. He often called me perfect but he was by far the most perfect of us all.

I catch a small blush creep up his cheeks, clearly listening to my thoughts.

That gave me an idea.

With everyone else distracted, I walked up behind him and slid my arm around his waist to hold him tight against me. He jumped in surprise but said nothing, instead he just sank into my hold.

I drew small circles on his lower stomach that made him squirm. I brushed my nose against his ear and blew on it.

I whispered through are link causing him to squirm more.

He moaned into our link and tried to push my hand away put I just held it firmer. His skim became warm as it turned a bright pink colour, goodness he was beautiful.

Just imagine us mating. Me devouring your mouth, my hole wrapped tightly around your cock, riding you till you can't take it anymore. Imagine how my bite will feel, trapping our souls in one.

I placed kisses along the side of his neck lovingly as he continued to moan through our link.

He choked out, clearly on the edge.

I want you so bad too baby, but all good things come to those who wait. Just one month more and I'm all yours Vladimir.

He covered his mouth quickly as he tried to hide a loud moan. His scent filled my nose as he came down from his high.

He turned around in my arms to look at me, a dazed look in his eyes but a smile on his face.

"The end of this month can't come quick enough." he chuckled and pulled me into a kiss.

I melted into the kiss and let him claim my mouth. I couldn't wait for this month to end either.
