☆~《Venice falls》~☆That same night.
The students kept walking till they reached a big house with dim light around the small gates,it didn’t look to big but it was beautiful.

“It’s small but this is where I called home growing up”Winter smiled and opened the gates.

The rest walked on with thier mouths opened.

“If this is small then you should check out my granmas place back home “Jinx uttered.

“I honestly thought she lived in a palace with all the attitude”Shadow mumbled and Ivy chuckled.

Jinx made an eye roll and hissed inwardly.

“This is where you lived? Nice!”Hermoine smiled.

“Granny should be in by now,she’s not really an outdoor type”Winter said.

“And your parents?”Granger asked.

“They died trying to protect me during the war outburst years ago”Winter mumbled and everyone suddenly went quite with pitiful faces.

“Why are you all quite now? That’s why I didn’t tell anyone they always give the same expression,pitiful looks” Winter rolled her eyes.

“Is that why you joined the academy?”Shadow asked.

“I didn’t want another child to go through what I went through,to get seperated from thier parents”Winter mumbled now they were standing right at the door and it opened Immediately.

A lady in her forties with about half dozen of kittens in her arms stood with a blank look but it disappeared immediately she noticed Winter among them.

“My sugarplum is back!”Nona screamed and half threw the kittens across the room and engulfed Winter in a tight hug.

Everyone else watched in awe.

“Sugar plum?”They chorused and laughed.

“Forget that is she supposed to be your granny if I was into older women I’d probably have made some moves” Wyatt joked but got a smack from Nona.

“Ouu!”

“Her name is Grannie Nona”Winter said.

“Ohh,we thought she was a grandma”Ivy chuckled.

“I’m not but I’m a very known witch around here”Nona said proudly.

“Come inside already it must be really cold out there”Nona said and opened the door wide for them to enter.

Raven walked in last and Ivy frowned.

“Is she supposed to be with us? I thought she was against us”Ivy frowned.

“Just forget it,we’ll keep a close eye on her”Shadow mumbled.

Laim stayed quite throughout and Nona noticed thier eyes met but he looked away.

“He looks scary is he also with you?”Nona mumbled beside Winter.

Winter laughed out immediately and the rest gave her a weird look.

“I’m so tired and I really need this wounds treated,do you mind?”Jinx said.

“I’ll get you then you can have dinner and go to bed we’ll talk properly in the morning”Nona smiled.

“I’ll go prepare something for you’ll to eat quickly” Nona said and rushed out.

Jinx smiled.

“They are only few rooms so we’ll each have to share with someone,Nona’s room is ingested with cats so it’s out of the option”Winter said.

“Shadow and I will…..

“No Shadow and I will take the first room”Hermoine cut in and Winter rolled her eyes.

“Whoa!,is there something we need to know?”Wyatt laughed.

“Dummie!”Shadow rolled her eyes.

“I guess Wyatt and I will take the next room” Granger winked.

“Me and Raven will take a room” Jinx said.

“I guess I’m with them!”Ivy said suddenly realising who was left.

“So it’s just down to one room,I’ll take that”Winter beamed.

“You mean we’ll take it” Liam cut in.

Wyatt coughed abruptly and some of them laughed.

Shadow and Ivy moved thier brows funnily and chuckled.

“Dinner is ready kids!”Nona yelled from the dinning.

“She still calls us that? We aren’t that small are we?”Jinx chuckled as they walked to the dining.

Everyone left but Winter just kept standing there biting her lips.

“A night with him? It sounds like a bad idea on so many levels” She mumbled and dragged her feet to the dining room.

~
“Aunt Nona isn’t old so who is she to you?”Shadow asked admist the food in her bulging cheeks.

Everyone sat around the dining except Raven but they wasn’t any room left anyway so no one noticed.

“She found me in a basket close to the cat market,she took me home and made me hers and after that she never kept spoil me,she became the mom I thought I’d lack”Winter said gently picking on her plate.

“You’re making me teary now”Ivy sniffed.

“I’m sure I felt tears”Granger smiled.

“And my sugarplum also became my life”Nona said bringing in another tray of different dishes.

Wyatt dropped his cutlery and wipped off a fake tear.

“It hurt here “Wyatt held his chest emotionally and Nona wacked him again.

Everyone laughed.

“Here is some more food”Nona dished out the food on thier plates and thier eyes widened.

“Isn’t this too much?”Shadow protested.

“Yeah,we’re staying her for only a day and you’re already spoiling us”Ivy mumbled with bulging cheeks.

“To fight that wicked queen you need all the strength you can get”Nona smiled.

“Oh my the cookies are burning up”Nona exclaimed and rushed out.

Everyone blinked surprisingly.

“No use explaining to her,she loves cooking and it’s been long we’ve gotten a real guest” Winter chuckled.

“And the others are?”Granger asked.

“Stray cats”Winter said and they all laughed.

☆■Neville vile,Palace■☆

“We are mates moonlight”Devon smiled,Moon’s smile crossed from ear to ear.

It went like that both smiling and staring into the depths of eachothers eyes.

Moon smiled wider and Devon furrowed his brows curiously.

“What?”

“You are mine”Moon chuckled cutely and Devon laughed.

“Seriously, did you just think of that now?”Devon asked ,grinning amusingly.

“No but its like a dream,I had to think it through again to be sure I wasn’t dreaming”Moon smiled.

Devon pecked her lips softly and her hair,then her forehead then her lips again.

*Is that all you’re gonna do after you just found out she’s our real mate?* Demon and Derek scoffed but Devon ignore them.

“You’re being naughty already?!”Moon chuckled cutely.

“Trust me with the voices in my head,I’m doing a pretty good job at being genlt right now if not…..”Devon smirked naughtyly.

“If not what?”Moon asked curiously.

“You’d be panting and screaming the whole night”Devon said bluntly and Moon’s eyes narrowed.

“Devon!”Moon laughed out and pushed him off but she couldn’t cos he had a firm grip on her waist.

Moon stared at him suspiciously and smiled,she hugged him tightly and placed her head to lay on his shoulder.

Devon kissed her cheeks ,he pecked her hair then her fore head,her neck then her nose ,it continued like this as they both stood out under the moonlight.

“Where are we though?”Moon mumbled breaking the silence.

“I brought my queen to her palace”Devon said seriously.

Moon moved away quickly with wide eyes.

“The institute got attacked so its not safe there,The dark queen and Mellisa think we are dead so it’s best to keep it that way till i do what I want”Devon said seriously,Moon nodded.

“And everyone?”

“They left for safer place,I bring them here tomorrow”Devon said staring down at her.

“They freak when they see us”Moon chuckled cutely.

“And Raven?”Moon muttered with a

“We do nothing,she lost the right to be my mate so I think that’s enough punishment for her”Devo said dryily.

Moon took a quick kiss and smiled.

“My king is such a hottie,I couldn’t resist”Moon smiled seductively.

“One more of that and I’ll loose it for sure,moonlight”Devon groaned and Moon pushed his forehead laughing out.

☆~Back in Venice falls~☆
Everyone retired to thier rooms early so everywhere was quite.

Winter was seated on the bed with a white cat on her.

“Where is he? Not like I care but he should be in by now,is he alright?”Winter spoke to the cat but it only wagged its tail joyfully.

The door suddenly opened and Winter jolted up unknowingly throwing the cat off her.

Laim walked and slwoly walked to the bed. His eyes are blood shot with his veins sticking out of his neck.

“Are you okay?”Winter asked walking carefully to him.

“Blood”Laim said hoarsely looking for something,a blood potion he kept earlier but it was gone.

He threw the table off balance in annoyance and Winter flinched fearfully.

“Laim……”Winter called and slowly walked to him.

“Laim calm down….”Winter said cautiously and held him ,he looked up at her with his red eyes and Winter moved back fearfully.

Sudden Liam fell to the floor holding his porched throat and Winter didn’t think twice before rushing to him.

“Liam are you okay? You look like you’re dying!”Winter gasped.

“Here….”She pulled down her collar and turned for him.

Laim looked at her strangely and turned away.

“You can have my blood,please just do it before I change my mind”Winter rushed breathing slwoly.

“I don’t want to hurt you,I haven’t had real blood for months I might get addicted and I won’t be able to stop”Laim said looking away cautiously, he could already head her loud heartbeat rate and blood pumping down her body,he swallowed slowly.

“Then I guess my ghost will have to hunt you for the rest of your life”Winter pulled him to the bed immediately and moved his face to her neck.

“I’ll try not to hurt you”Laim said guilty and slowly hovered his lips over her neck,his fangs came out sharply and Winter was beginning to have second thoughts but it was too late.

“Argh!”Winter gaped painfully and tugging on the sheets as Liam’s fangs dug into her flesh,tears rolled down her red face and slid down to the bed some even found its way to his neck.

Laim began sucking gently but hungrily but slowly he began sucking posssively and it didn’t hurt like before.

Winter began craving more of his painful suck and Laim had to reluctantly let go of her when he noticed her feverish breathes.

“Did I hurt you too much?”Liam questioned kissing the tears on her face.

Winter breathed out heavily staring intently at him.

She grab his face between her palms and surprisingly slammed her lips on his.

He reciprocated for a while but pulled away suddenly.

“It’s not right”Laim said in a low whisper,Winter bit her lips shamefully.

Did she just try to engage a guy first?

“I should have done that first silly” Liam smiled and took her lips in again,her eyes closed shut as Laim’s hand trailed down her short floral gown.

He slwoly began peeling every last peice of clothing of her,kissing her crazily.

Both unaware of a strange glow on her neck.

☆Next morning☆
Winter smiled cutely turning from one side of the bed to another,two white cats leaped up the bed and began locking her face.

“Uhnn?!”Winter opened her eyes and smiled funnily,she carried the cats with a wide smile.

“I dont know why i feel so happy today”Winter chuckled,she suddenly felt bare underneath,she was putting on Laims shirt but nothing else under.

“Oh no!”everything began coming back to her like a rush of wind.

She jumped of the bed quickly and sprinted to the bathroom,she pulled her hair over her shoulders and saw the mark right there. A dark fang mark.

“He….he mated me?!”

“Arghhhhhhhh!!!!!”Winter screamed madly chasing off the birds on the nearby tree.
