Not Ready For My Mate novel Chapter 23

I just rolled my eyes at his idiotic comments. "So what you doing out here so late?"he asked while taking a seat next to me. "Shouldn't I be asking you the same thing and if you must know..." I then explained to him how my day started and ended with all the shit. I left out the part of me having to soon ask the Rouge King for help for the upcoming war.

"Wow, interesting first date for you, don't you think? " he said while chuckling. I knew he was saying it like a joke to try and cheer me up and for that I was grateful. "Do you smell that, it smells like sage and something else I can't seem to put my finger on? " he asked while looking around frantically and smelling the air.

I smelt the air and I smelt nothing peculiar. He calmed down after a couple of minutes, I was looking at the flowers when I felt his finger under my chin so I could look at him. I looked into his eyes and they were like a weird orange, black colour.

He started to lean in and before I could process what the hell he was doing, he smashed his lips against mine. At the beginning something was making me want to kiss him back, but I fought against it and pushed him off. "What the hell Cam!" I said while getting up. He at first looked like he was in a haze but he shook his head and realised what had happened.

"Sky, I promise I don't know what I was doing, I like you but not like that!" He looked at me, I could see guilt in his eyes but also fear. I was about to answer him but I was interrupted by clapping coming from behind me.

I turned around and saw about 10 vampires standing at the edge of the clearing with an evil glint and smirk on their faces. They made their way over to us and stopped about a few metres away from us.

"Well done your majesty, I have to admit we started to panick when we thought you were going to kiss him back, but then you shoved him away so we knew the spell hadn't worked on you" the leader of the vampires said. I gave him a confused look.

I was a few feet away from them when I started shooting fire balls at them. I had hit about 7 of them but missed the others, they advanced towards me and Cam, and so did we. Most people would think 2 against 10 would be unfair, but that wasnt my opinion, the way I see it, it was the other way around with the help of my powers.

About 5 minutes later 8 of them were dead but the other 2 escaped, most likely to tell the King who I am. Cam took one of the vampires shirts and handed it to me so I could shift back. I went behind a tree and shifted. When I came back Cam had his back to me, I tapped his shoulder and he turned around. I expected him to be mad at me for dragging him into this, but he didn't look mad he looked worried.

"Are you okay Sky, they didn't hurt you did they?" He said while looking me over. "Im fine Cam thanks for helping me and I guess you know my big secret now but you cant tell anyone promise?" I pleaded to him. He nodded his head and asked me to explain. I told him my whole story after I left a year ago, up until now, I told him who all knew about me.
