Danny POV

I laid in bed unable to stop the thoughts that quickly raced around my head. I couldn't stop thinking about beau after years of torture he apologized. All because the moon paired us together.

The man who id secretly been in love with now suddenly felt the same way, and I didn't know how to feel.

I wasn't kidding when I said he had me wrapped around his finger but there's a part of me that still hates him for everything he's done. I shook my head sitting up in bed and looking around my room.

A small beam of sunlight shined through the curtains illuminating a part of the room. My stomach growled loudly making me groan and lay back down. I thought about yesterday when I had fed from beau, the way he reacted.

He almost lost control but I didn't do anything differently than I normally do. My stomach growled again interrupting my thoughts.

"Fine" I said out loud and stood up looking at myself in the mirror. My hair was a mess on top of my head and my skin was my usual pale color. I was still pretty skinny from not feeding and me being normally skinny anyways didn't help.

Sighing I walked out of my room and slowly made my way towards beaus room. My heart began to beat quickly as I nearest his door. Why the hell was I so nervous.

It was too early for anyone else to be up yet so the house was dead silent. I was sure you could hear my heart beating through the hall.

Finally I made it to his room and took a deep breath before knocking sloftly on the door. I heard soft snores in response. I opened the door walking in as slowly as I could beaus mouth watering smell instantly filling my nose.

He laid in bed turned towards me shirless. I couldn't help but let my eyes trail down his body. It was perfect much like the rest of him.

"Stop staring at me and come here" he said with a smirk. I felt heat rise to my cheeks as I walked over to him. I stood at the adge of his bed awkwardly waiting.

He opened one eye to look at me and sighed grabbing my wrist and pulling me onto the bedpulling me close to him.

He put his head in my neck inhaling. I felt myself become slightly self conscious.

"You smell so good" he said suddenly making my already flushed face, if it was possible, even more red

We laid there for a while taking in each other's presence. I wasn't sure if he'd fallen back asleep or not. Slowly I began to trace his. Abs with my finger feeling is toned stomach.

"Do you want me to finish bonding right now" he said opening his pretty blue eyes to look at me I looked away red faced hearing him chuckle

"Hungry" he said rolling me on top of him so that I was straddling him.

I nodded watching him smile and grab my.shirt pulling my face close to his and pecking my lips.

"Do as you please" he said watching as I placed a soft kiss on his jaw all the way to his neck. Scrapping my teeth along the feeding site.

He placed his hands on my hips pulling me closer to him. Slowly I sunk my teeth in hearing a loud moan leave his lips just like yesterday. I began to suck down the sweet substance feeling my energy instantly replenish.

"Fuck Danny" he groaned through gritted teeth his grip on my hips tightening

I sunk my teeth deeper trying to get more blood when I felt something hard poke my inner thigh

"Fuck" he groaned making me pull away before I could even wipe the exess blood from my lips he was on top of me pinning my arms above my head. I looked into his now fully red eyes breathing heavily.

He quickly sunk his teeth into my neck without warning making my eyes roll back in bliss. I arched my back feeling myself losing control

He drank the fluid quickly making me feel light headed .

"Beau wait" I said I could feel his grip on my wrists tighten and he sunk his teeth deeper. I whimpered loudly as the feeling.

"Beau" I loud loudly feeling him full back staring down at me with swirling eyes.

He was losing control the more We and I could see that I'm sure he could too.

We sat like that for a while as we waited for him to calm down. Kings especially have a hard time controlling themselves as the window for bonding closes. The longer we wait the hungrier he gets until eventually he won't hold back.

His eyes had finally returned to blue and his grip on my wrists loosened and I pulled my hands towards my head resting them. I watched beaus hungry eyes trail my body.

"Sorry, it's getting worse" he said looking down at my chest

"I know" I said we were quiet for a moment thinking

"How much longer until the next moon" he said sliding off of me I felt sadness fill me as his touch left my body. This bonding process was affecting me as well just not as quickly.

"4 months, but I can feel it affecting us already" I said I sat up crossing my legs and looking into my lap

"I promise I'll try to control myself but even now" he said pausing for a moment and looking at me I could see his eyes swirling with red again

"Your scent is driving me crazy" he finished looking away. We were quiet for a moment thinking silently of a solution

"W-why don't we ask your dad I mean he's been in this situation before " I said watching him look thoughtfully at the ground

"Yeah lets head over there now" he said standing up and holding out his hand for me his eyes were still mixed between blue and red. I hesitantly took his hand feeling him squeeze it slightly and leading me out of the bedroom.

We walked for a while finding the room his father stayed in the house was still silent making it slightly eerie.

We stopped in front of a room marked 167 I could feel his presence behind the door. Beau knocked softly waiting for a response

"Come in" a weak voice said slowly we walked into the dark room seeing John sitting at the edge of his bed with his head in his hands. He looked weak his skin was more pale than yesterday and he was noticably more skinny.

"How are you feeling dad" beau said watching as John lifted his head to look at us with a smile his face looked different his cheeks were slightly sunken in and the dark bags made him look almost undead

"I'm okay just a little tired" he said standing up and walking over to us

"What bring you boys here" he said stopping in front of us

"We need advice" beau said I could feel the tension that beau was feeling. I know that seeing his father like this was bringing him pain

"Come let's sit and talk" he said gesturing to the chairs and small table that sat in the corner. John took in our composure as we sat down it was almost as if he knew what we were here about

"So having trouble controlling yourself eh beau" he said making him put his head down

"I can barely tolerate him feeding without feeling like Im going to jump him" beau said looking back up at his father

"And what about you my boy do you feel these things as well" he said I nodded feeling heat rise to my cheeks

"What you guys are feeling is pre bond pressure, it's normal for all vampires but it can be especially difficult for Kings and their mates. The bond is strongly affected by the position of the moon relative to the earth, the higher the moon is in the sky the greater the pull" he said leaning forward

"What can we do to control it" I said watching him smile softly

"Well in all honestly there isn't much you can do for a king other than separate yourselves" he said I felt beau softly squeeze my hand

"How much separation are we talking" beau said

"No talking touching or seeing each other unless it's to feed, when you do feed it must be in small increments" he paused looking at beaus hand in mine

"I'm honestly surprised you're holding back even holding his hand now" he said looking back up at beau slowly our hands slipped apart making my heart ache

"Here I have something that might help" John said standing up and disappearing behind a door. Beau and I shared a comfortable silence, I looked over to see him squeezing his fist so tight his knuckles were turning white

"Beau" I said softly watching as he slowly turned his head towards me his eyes had almost gone fully red. Hesitantly I reached for his hand watching as his tight grip loosened and his knuckles returned to normal. Blue began to swirl back into his eyes making me smile at him.

John walked back out of the room and sat at the table handing me a tiny capsule

"This is a scent masking serum, beau mother used this while we were having this issue" he said I looked at the purplish liquid inside

"How does it work" beau said

"Well that serum isn't very strong but a little bit will go a long way just put a tiny bit on your neck and it should calm your scent, but in all honesty most vampires don't wait this long for mating so the longer you wait the more potent your scent will get no matter how much of the serum you use" he said looking between us. I slowly opened the serum and dabbed a small amount on my neck.

I looked over at beau who seemed to have calmed down slightly. His tense body loosened as he sniffed the air.

"This room is already filled with your pheromones so I suggest you separate before something happens" John said we all stood up heading towards the door beau walked out first as I followed behind suddenly weak hand grabbed my arm stopping me. I turned around to see John who almost had a pleading look on his face.

"Danny, I'm not sure how much longer I can hold on, I'm dying" he said pausing for a moment.

"I just want you to know how proud I am of you and my son, I couldn't have asked for a better person to watch over him when I'm gone, but please" he said squeezing my hands desperately

"Don't let him mourn too much when I'm gone and don't let him lose himself" he said without thinking I hugged him feeling him chuckle slightly and hug back

"I won't" I said pulling away

"Danny" beau said sticking his head into the room I smiled at John once more before following beau out if the room

"What did he want" beau said

"Nothing, he just told me not to forget to put on the serum" I said looking down at the floor
