Legend Of The Moon Princess
Episode 27

Melody’s POV

I feel like I just got ran over by a f*****g bus. I slowly try to open my eyes. Groaning because of the bright light that assaulted my tired eyes. I heard someone moving around the room. “Lights are dim, Mel.” TJ’s voice came through my cloudy mind. I opened my eyes again. I saw my brothers, both of my mates, and Zezar all in the room looking at me with a mix of worry and relief.

I tried to sit up, but I really had no strength. TJ helped me sit up and EJ placed some more pillows behind me, to hold me up. I tried to talk but my throat felt as dry as a desert. I looked over at EJ and coughed a bit. He grabbed the water pitcher that was next to him and poured me a glass of cool, refreshing ice water. EJ helped me drink it since my arms wouldn’t do what I wanted them to do, and it felt like heaven going down my dry throat. “Man, did you get the number of the truck that hit me?” I say jokingly as EJ took the glass away from my mouth. My brothers snicker at my poor joke. Zezar shook his head, and my mates just gave me a look that was half grin and half glare.

“Ok, bad joke. But that vampire is toast next time I see him.” I said looking at my vampire mate, who I still never got his goddamn name yet. “I never caught your name.” He then chuckled. “My name, my dear, is Jeremiah Ainsworth. I am the king of the vampires.” Oh my goddess. Another royal mate? Well I guess if the Moon Goddess wants us to make a change in the world I would need mates that could help me influence change. “Well it is nice to meet you, Jeremiah, my name is Melody Jackman. Sorry for what happened in your office and then scaring you guys outside.”

“Yes, your brothers and friends here told me your name. Though Zezar and Luca told me that you would explain to me why they are in my territory with my mate.” He said with a raised eyebrow. Oh so they didn’t say anything to him about me being both his and Luca’s mate or the whole Moon Princess thing. “How long have I been out?” I asked no one in particular. “About four to five hours. Doc said you were doing much better than before, but you were going to need a lot of rest.” EJ said. Agh. I hated being on bed rest. It was always so boring.

“Ok, well Jeremiah… How much do you know of the Moon Goddess or any legends from our kind?” I asked. He scratched his chin while he thought for a few minutes. “Honestly the only thing I know of your goddess is that she is the one that pairs you with your mates.” He said. I nod in understanding. That is usually what most people believe to be the only thing she does. “Well that is true, but it is more than that. She not only pairs us with our mates, but with our wolves as well and if one is lucky you are given special gifts when you reach the age of ten.”

“Oh that is interesting. Are you gifted?” He asked, as he switched places with TJ and sat in the chair next to my bed. I nod. “Yes. I can connect to any supernatural creature’s inner soul. Wolf, bear, tiger, or vampire.” He raised an eyebrow as if he couldn’t believe I closed my eyes and even though Artemis was still resting, I focused on Jeremiah in front of me. I felt the link start to open and then I saw someone that looked just like Jeremiah, but with their fangs out and eyes bright red. ‘Hello. What is your name?’ I asked him

In the blink of an eye, he was standing before me, holding me and inhaling my scent deeply from the crook of my neck. ‘My name is Logan, little mate. You smell heavenly.’ I giggled as his breath tickled my neck. Logan seemed to like that. He held me closer and licked my neck, causing me to squeal. I broke the connection before things got out of hand. I opened my eyes again and Jeremiah was staring at me with a sexy smirk on his face. “You broke poor Logan’s heart by disappearing like that.” He said, a smirk still plastered on his face. “Well sorry, but I was not ready for a horny vampire to take advantage of my innocence.” I said while sticking my tongue out at him.

My brother g*****d, Zezar laughed, and Luca lightly growled. I turn to him and stick my tongue out at him too. I saw out of the corner of my eye that Jeremiah was looking between me and Luca. “So is there something else I should know?” He asked. I turned back to him and nodded. “There is a legend that is passed down through us werewolves that the Moon Goddess will choose a pure hearted soul to be her Moon Princess. The Moon Princess will have three mates. One of her own species and the other two will be of different species.” I paused to make sure I didn’t lose him, and to see how well he was taking it.

“So are you saying that you are this Moon Princess?” He asked. I nodded. “Yes. Luca is my first mate and you are my second. My third mate is somewhere in Maine, USA. The Moon Princess’s duty is to unite the supernatural beings and bring them closer together, or we risk our world being destroyed by the Moon Goddess’ siblings.” I looked down as I finished speaking and played with my fingers. Jeremiah gently grabbed one of my hands and brought it to his lips. Gently brushing them against the back of my hand, sent a shiver down my spine.

“I will not guarantee that we will get along all the time, but for your happiness Moye serdtse, (my heart) I will endure sharing you with this pup.” He said with a devilish grin and a wink. Luca huffed and rolled his eyes. “Smooth one, you sound like an old man” Luca scoffed. I giggled. Jeremiah turned to him with the same smirk on his face. “Compared to you and moye serdtse… I am old. I am 278 years old.” He said with a straight face. Everyone’s jaw dropped. Jeremiah laughed a deep husky laugh at our expressions. “That is something that will never get old.”

I shake my head to compose myself. “So you don’t mind sharing a mate?” I asked him. “Honestly after fighting with Luca already and getting to know them in the last couple hours… Doesn’t seem all that bad. Though there will be times I steal you away for some alone time.” He answered. “Same here, mi pequeño tesoro” (my little treasure) Luca said. I snapped my head to him. “Since when did you speak spanish?” Luca shrugged. “I always knew, but didn’t use it until now. I saw you blush a little bit every time he calls you something in Russian, so I wanted to try.” I laugh and roll my eyes.

“Well I think we shouldn’t have too much to worry about.” EJ said. “Yeah they already get along like our dads do.” TJ said. True. Even though our father knew from a young age that they would share a mate, they still sometimes fight over mama to this day. “Though quick question sis.” EJ said. I looked over to him and TJ. They both had their normal big grins on their faces, which usually ended badly for me. “Oh boy, what is it you two?” I asked. The boys looked at each other then turned back to me. “How are you gonna tell dad that you’re mated to a vampire?” They asked in unison. ‘Oh shit.’
