Elora

"Hear me out," Theo started as he followed me down the hall to my room. "You could go to this high school thing with kids you don't even like or," he grabbed my hand, spinning me around to face him. He quickly pulled his T-shirt off, revealing his drool worthy abs. "You could stay home and we could get freaky," he wiggled his eyebrows.

I widened my eyes, giggling at his attempts to convince me not to go. He's been trying for ten minutes, and I have to admit, this is his most tempting offer thus far.

Wrapping my arms around his body, I looked up at him, "Theo, I've been planning this dance for months, and it's finally happening. What if something goes wrong? I can't trust anyone else to know what to do. Plus, I was nominated for homecoming queen. I have to go," I explained, breaking away from him and walking to my room to change.

He groaned behind me, "Nothing will go wrong because you're the one who planned it!" He chuckled. "You do realize that you're a real Queen, right? Not a pretend high school queen," he called.

I laughed, sending him a look over my shoulder, "You remind me every day." Well, he reminds everyone daily, not just me.

Standing in my shower, I started to get ready for the dance. This is my last high school event I'll be attending. Thanks to my magnificent mind, I'm graduating early and won't be going to prom. That's perfectly okay with me, though. It just means I can start college sooner and work towards my goal of becoming an anesthesiologist.

Quin and Theo thought I was insane when I told them I wanted to continue school, even if I don't end up actually working as an anesthesiologist. They don't understand that just because I'm living forever, doesn't mean I still don't have goals I want to complete in a timely manner.

After I died and Dane brought me back, they were all confused about what I became. At first, I was too. But Dane has been doing blood tests almost every day, seeing how my blood cells compare to human blood and vampires blood. He's trying to make sense of what happened that night, seeing as it's never been done before.

I'm not a vampire, but because of Felix's royal blood, I was gifted with immortality. Dane says I won't ever age, and when I'm hurt, I heal like they do, only slower. Im not strong or fast, I don't have super hearing or smell, and thank the heavens I don't crave blood. I sleep, eat, and breathe just like I always have. I can even pop my joints.

By far the best thing about my immortality is that I was automatically joined to their mind link they've always had. I've never liked that they can talk to each other and I couldn't know what they were saying. Now, I'm an official member of their clan.

I do wish Theo would stop calling it the kink link, though.

I can also bring people back from the dead, heal them, and take lives if I want to. Obviously, I don't want to hurt anyone, but if I'm ever in a situation where I need saving, I can save myself. Dane had me practice on a beetle one day, because although I'd be bringing it back to life, I couldn't hurt a bunny.

I can't confirm it, and Dane disagrees with me, but I think I got the gifts of death and resurrection because I died myself, and was brought back to life. It makes the most sense, and is ironic in a way. Who knows why I got the gift, I'm just glad I get to brag to Quin about it. He's definitely jealous that I can take out an entire field of people in the blink of an eye if I want to.

"Have you decided on a dress yet, love?" Eugene asked, stepping into my bathroom.

"I have a few that I like, but I haven't decided," I responded. I have so many pretty dresses that I don't wear often enough, it's hard to choose.

"Would you like me to choose for you?" He peeked his head into the shower, grinning down at me. His eyes flashed bright red as he slowly looked my body over.

Heaven help me. Stay strong, Elora. Don't fall for their seductions or you'll never get to the dance, I thought to myself.

I turned the shower off, grabbing a towel quickly, giving him a pointed look, "You can try," I smiled sweetly at him. Chances are whatever he picks, I'll end up changing my mind ten times before I decide on a dress.

Eugene pulled my damp body against his, "Theo couldn't convince you to stay?" He kissed behind my ear. I shivered, relaxing into him as he trailed his tongue down my neck.

I gently shook my head, pulling away from him with every last ounce of willpower I have left. "No, and neither can you," I pointed a finger at him. "Go pick me out a dress," I grinned, not falling for his evil schemes.

Eugene put his hand over his heart, looking offended, "I'd never," he smirked.

"Go, Eugene," I said firmly, but my smile gave me away.

I heard him chuckle as he walked into my closet. I fixed my hair and put on light makeup, not wanting to look powdery under the multicolored lights at the dance.

Eugene walked around the corner with two dresses in his hand. "I like these three," he grinned at me.

I looked at the white bodycon dress with long sleeves, and a green silk one. I pushed my eyebrows together, "You're only holding two dresses," I gave him a pointed look.

He smirked, "The third option is you stay home with us, completely naked."

I gasped, "I'll take the white one," I giggled, grabbing the dress and waking past him.

He groaned, "I spent ten minutes thinking of that line-"

"I've spent four months planning this dance."

He pushed his lips together, his face relaxing into a soft smile. He grabbed my face, pulling me close to him, "And I'm sure it'll be as beautiful as you are, my love," he gently kissed me.

~•~

"You look absolutely stunning, baby," Duke complimented, grabbing my hand as I reached the bottom of the steps.

"It's kinda short..." Theo mumbled, his eyes locked on my ass.

"It's the same length of most of the other skirts and dresses I wear?" I questioned.

"Yeah, short," Dane chuckled.

Quin gave me a devilish grin before he reached down and gripped the backs of my thighs, "Mmm, I like it," he bent down and kissed me.

Theo rolled his eyes, "Yeah, it's hot, but those shit ass boys are going to look-"

"Let them look," Felix said as he walked out of his office with Lucifer behind him. "Because at the end of the night, she'll be ours to play with," he smirked at me. "Isn't that right, baby?" He cocked an eyebrow at me.

I blushed, "Uhu."

Dane grabbed my hand, pulling me towards the door, "Ready to go, Angel?"

I nodded, walking out with him.

"Make good decisions, kitten," Lucifer said softly after us.

That's a warning if I've ever heard one.

~•~

Loud music and dazzling pink lights danced across the high school gym. It's better than I imagined it, and I'm so proud of myself.

Tonight has been really fun, thanks to me. Of course, I love every song that plays. Whenever one that Quin picked plays, I catch myself missing him and my guys more than I usually do.

Although this is fun, and I'm having a good time, dances like this aren't my scene. Gross, sweaty, germ covered teenagers jumping around and acting crazy makes me anxious. There's someone bumping into me every few seconds, which is why I decided to rest rest to the back of the gym for a breather.

The principal stood on the stage, with two crowns in his hands. "It's time to announce prom queen and king!" He grinned.

The crowd cheered, and a few of my peers gave me excited looks. I've never been competitive, but I'm going up against Willow. To say that I want to crush her like a bug is an understatement.

The principal held a piece of paper in his hand, dramatically reading the contents. "Your homecoming king is... Daniel!" He revealed and everyone cheered.

I politely clapped, not wanting to seem rude.

"And your homecoming queen is..." I looked up at the man with wide eyes, hoping he'd say my name. "Willow!"

Oh.

The room was quiet except for a few claps. A few students gave me a confused look, and I bit my lip.

You know what? She should have her moment. Things like this mean a lot to narcissistic people, and if she won, there's no reason for me to be bitter. I smiled, clapping for Willow as she stood next to Daniel on the stage with her fake crown. A fake ass crown for a fake ass Queen.

The students followed my lead, all clapping for the homecoming royalty. I hope they marry each other, I really do.

Willow started giving a speech about how humbling it is to be elected queen, and a bunch of other phony crap.

I felt a large presence behind me, "Who's dick did she have to suck to win this time?"

I smiled hugely, turning around to look up at Jason in jeans and a button up. He looks more rugged than he used to, but it suits him. "Jason!" I wrapped my arms around his ribs, genuinely relieved to see him. "I thought I'd never see you again,"

I pulled away and looked up at him. "How have you been? Last time I saw you, you had a tail!" I giggled.

He chuckled, "Hey the tail is a total babe magnet," he defended.

I cocked an eyebrow, "Oh definitely. Nothing attracts women more than peeing on them to mark your territory," I joked.

Loud music started playing again, and I walked with Jason out into a hall. "What are you doing here? Aren't you busy with all your werewolf stuff?"

He gave me a pointed look, "Last time I saw you, you were dead, smalls. I didn't know you were alive until a week ago, so I had to come see you myself."

He saw me? I pushed my eyebrows together, "You were there?" I asked.

He nodded. "We got wind of rogues heading to Washington, and I had a hunch they'd come for your seven vampire boyfriends," he grinned down at me. "Handcuffs in the shower-"

I flicked his arm, "Are you ever going to let me live that down?"

"Never." He tilted his head, "Anyways, I had a feeling something bad would happen, so I went against everyone's judgement and took a few of my pack mates down. And that's when I saw you," he looked between my eyes.

"I'm sorry you had to see that. I know it wasn't a pretty sight," I blushed. Jeez, dying is embarrassing.

He narrowed his eyes at me, "What happened? How are you alive? What's with your eyes? Come on, smalls, spill the tea," he urged.

I giggled, explaining everything to him. He listened like a little kid, getting excited when I told him about my gifts. I haven't thought about it much, but I'm very lucky to have a friend like Jason. He's just always there without a second thought. He's going to live as long as I am, so he is quite literally my best friend for life.

He kept checking time time, and I knew he has 'alpha' things to do. I touched his arm, "Come visit me, okay?" I smiled at him.

He smirked, "I'm actually meeting with Felix next week."

I widened my eyes. "Um, why?" I asked. I blinked, "Wait- you planned a meeting with Felix? I didn't even know you were civil with them. Isn't there the whole vampires and werewolves being natural enemies thing?" I rambled.

Well, I hope it's going to be a civil meeting. My guys would wreck him in any fight, and I don't want that to happen.

He chuckled, "Well, let's just say a certain King and a certain Alpha are joining forces to eradicate rogues after a certain human girl was killed," he gave me a pointed look.

My lips parted in shock, "Really?" I wondered. "Wow, all I had to do was die and the rivalry between vampires and werewolves ends?" I joked.

He nodded, "You should have died a long time ago," he laughed. He ran his hand through his hair, "Hey smalls?"

"Yes, tails?"

He smiled, "Thanks for not dying," he said softly.

My heart warmed and I grabbed his hand, "Drive me home?" I asked. The dance was a success, but now I'm exhausted.

He nodded, leading me out to his jeep. I got in and buckled up, "I don't understand something," I started and he glanced at me as he drove. "If all the other werewolves advised you not to come help, why did you?"

At that point, he was still a brand new alpha, and proving himself to his new followers. Why would he risk their trust by coming to help the royal vampire clan?

Jason tensed, his eyes wondering the road, "When I first shifted, everything in me was telling me that you weren't safe. I knew the vampire standing behind you had bad intentions," he explained. There was a thick pause, and I caught him glancing at me. "Elora, you were there for me when I didn't have anyone else. You're my best friend, and I'll always come to save your clueless ass-"

"Hey!" I laughed. "I'm not clueless."

He laughed, "Are you kidding me? There's not a single thought in that air head of yours," he jabbed and we both laughed.

I have my moments, I'll give him that. "Listen, you have a tail and probably fleas, so I don't want to hear it," I held a hand up to him for emphasis.

"How old are your seven boyfriends again?"

I smacked his arm, "They're not my boyfriends, they're my soul mates," I corrected. He makes that sound so bad.

He wiggled his fingers, "Ooo," he snickered.

"They are! Some Greek vampire who can see peoples auras told us," I explained.

Jason slowly turned to me, pushing his eyebrows together. "And you're giving me shit for having a tail? Do you hear what you just said?"

I paused, staring at him. He has a point. I pressed my lips together, giving him an amused smirk before we both broke out in laughter. My life is so strange, but I wouldn't change a thing.

We pulled up to my home in no time. Jason parked, his gaze pointed towards the manor. His eyes looked sad for a split second, like he heard something I couldn't. I was about to ask when he turned to me with a small smile, "See you around, smalls."

I grinned, "You will. And next time I see you, I'll have a big chew toy so we can play fetch-" I giggled.

He rolled his eyes, "Will the werewolf jokes ever end?"

I shook my head, stepping out of his jeep, "Maybe in a few hundred years when I run out," I winked. This is going to be too much fun!

He smiled, "I look forward to it."

I waved bye to him as I stepped into the house. "I'm home!" I called, knowing that they already heard me.

After getting no response, I wandered the downstairs. The kitchen, living room, and dining room were empty. "Where is everyone?" I asked, hoping someone would respond. I know they're home. "Hello?" I called.

"In the ballroom, baby," Felix answered through the mind link.

I scrunched my eyebrows, wondering what they're doing in there. We haven't used that room since the gathering.

My feet started walking on their own accord, my nerves flailing up for some reason. I have a suspicion they're up to something. And the fact that Lucifer's being so quiet in my mind is strange.

What are they up to...

I pushed the heavy door open, my heart immediately warming at the sight of all my guys dressed extra handsomely.

Felix and Duke were wearing suits, ironed and fitted to perfection. Eugene was wearing black slacks and a gray turtleneck with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Quin wore dark jeans and a black button up with the first few buttons undone, revealing his muscular chest. Lucifer's wore an all black fitted suit, even the shirt underneath was black. Danes suit was blue, with a pink handkerchief in the pocket. And Theo was in jeans, a white bottom up with the front compliantly open, showing his toned torso.

They stood in a line in the middle of the room, about a foot away from each other. I smiled, "What's going on?" I giggled as I started walking to them.

Eugene held his hand out and I grabbed it, looking up at him with confused wide eyes. "Do you remember when I asked if you wanted something more permanent than a bracelet, love?" He said with a smile.

I slowly nodded, glancing at the green and blue bracelet on his wrist. I looked down the line at the rest of my guys, all looking at me with love in their eyes. I narrowed my eyes on little black boxes in each of their hands. My eyes widened, looking at Eugene's free hand that held the same black box.

My eyes welled with tears as realization dawned on me. They're proposing... Marriage isn't something I've given much thought, I just assumed we'd always be together. But they want to marry me?

Eugene grabbed my face, placing a gentle kiss against my lips before he sunk down on one knee. "What do you say, love? Let's make it official," he grinned, opening the box. A beautiful pink sapphire ring with a thin silver band sparkled back at me.

Dane knelt next to him, opening his box. The ring was yellow, catching every light in the room. Within the diamond, there were several prisms that I instantly fell in love with. "I've lived thousands of lives, but the only one that was ever worth living is the one with you in it, Elora. Let's have our own happily ever after."

Quin placed his hand on the back of my thigh, kneeling before me. "Let's break the stigma of a wife in the kitchen cooking, shall we? I'd look good in an apron that says 'husband', don't you think, doll?" He grinned. I giggled, but the tears wouldn't stop falling. His ring was beautiful, with small light blue sapphires going around the band, with a princess cut diamond as the center.

"Elora," Duke said behind me, and I turned to see him on his knees. "Baby, all I've ever wanted was for you to be happy. Finding you all those years ago wasn't a coincidence, it was fate," he opened the box, revealing a golden dainty band with small leaves that surrounded a white diamond. "Do me the honor of marrying me, and I promise you a forever of happiness."

Lucifer stepped forward, gently wiping my tears away with his thumb. "You already know how I feel," he whispered, lowering himself onto his knee. He opened his box, revealing a ruby red ring, with black stones surrounding it. "How does forever sound, kitten?"

My shoulders were grabbed and I was spun around to Theo, who has a huge grin on his face. "I'd like to submit my resume for position as husband number one," he said and I giggled. "I'll always make you laugh, give you at least an orgasm a day-"

"Theo," I laughed, shaking my head at him.

He grinned mischievously, kneeling down and opening his box. I widened my eyes at the massive diamond ring that's bigger than the pad of my finger. Of course he bought me a massive ring. "So when it's your day of the week to wear my ring, you'll see how big it is, and remember who has the biggest dick," he said.

All my other guys collectively sighed, sending him a stern look. Oh I love him to bits.

"Baby," Felix started. He was already kneeling when I turned to him, with a shiny emerald diamond with small vines as the band. "I'm so proud of the woman you've become. You're the love of my life, and the only person I'd want ruling at my side. You love so deeply and fiercely, I fear that I'll never be able to match your intensity. But if you'd allow me, it would be the greatest adventure of my life to be your husband," he kissed my hand. "Be my queen?"
