It was the early evening and I was sat in one of the academy's main study quarters as I was going through paperwork for my dad's coven.

Albeit many years from now, I was expected to know all there is about my covens history and how to run it.

The pages in front of me although looked like a lot were in reality child's homework.

Since we live very long lives, Vampires who are under the age of 90 are seen as how humans would see a young child or even babies.

Me being only 21, I wasn't trusted with big or important documents just yet. I wasn't necessarily treated like a child by my parents like most were at this age but I wasn't given adult responsibilities just yet either.

"Ugh, why is this so hard." I heard Carden groan next to me. He was still doing the homework Mr Masters had assigned us last week.

"Maybe if you had started earlier you wouldn't be struggling so much." I said matter of factly.

"I've been really busy lately." he mumbled.

"And by busy you mean having fun with Mr Masters?" I smirked at him as a pout formed on his face.

The laws within the vampire council were a bit odd. If your mate was under the age of 50 you couldn't mate until they had reached that age, you could could still do sexual things but you couldn't properly mate. 50 years old was like our equivalent to legal age, I know 18 is legal age for humans but then again they didn't live nearly as long as we did.

So with Carden being only 28 and Mr Masters being......god knows how old, he still had another 22 years until they could properly mate.

And judging by the hickies on his neck, it appeared that they were already in preparation for mating.

"Shut up, just because you guys can mate doesn't mean you get to rub it in." he said sadly with a faint tint to his cheeks.

That's where the laws gets odd, if you and your mate are around the same age you can legally mate at 22. So with me being 22 in only two months and Idris already 24 we would be able to mate very soon.

"Hey I'm sorry, I know it's gonna be a hard few years for you. But you at least found your mate, and you can be together." I said with a small smile.

He looked at me with wide eyes. "Goodness since when did you get all sappy." he chuckled and when he looked at the clock his eyes went even wider. "Shit I've gotta go."

"Go where? You haven't even finished your assignment."

"Ye but I have to be somewhere, somewhere important. I-I'll see you later okay, bye." he rushed out and ran out of the hall.

Weird?

You really did sound a bit sappy just there. I heard Idris chuckle through our mind link.

I joked.

I felt a little warmth on my face at his reply.

Before I had the chance to reply the chair beside me pulled out and Idris sat down next to me. He had a loving smile on his face that made my cold heart beat that little bit faster.

I smiled at him, taking his hand in mine.

We both smiled at that. We have been inseparable ever since our fun time in the storage room last week. Now we couldn't get enough of each other, and the urge to mate becoming almost painful.

Idris had begun to approach me more aswell, not as shy as he was. He still blushes a lot of the time but that was one of the things I loved about him.

He said, his eyes glistening behind his thin glasses.

I questioned. However all he did was nod his head as he took my hand and walked us out of the study hall.

We walked to the forth floor towards a more secluded part of the academy.

We entered an old classroom that looked as though it hadn't been used in months. The light curtains covering the windows, the moon reflecting beautifully through the room, providing light.

Idris turned me around to face him and grabbed my hands in his, pulling me closer to him. My hands rested on his shoulders while his rested on my back, resting his forehead against mine.

He swayed us gently, his beautiful features illuminated in the moonlight. My cold heart swelled with joy as he held me in his embrace, pouring so much love through our link. His touch sending sparks throughout my body, his breath tickling my skin.

He said softly, nuzzling his nose against mine.

I felt my eyes grow a bit wet as I stared into his, smiling with pure happiness.

My cold heart was beating so fast I thought it would fall out of my chest, I stared at the door in front of me whilst trying to catch my breath.

I was stood outside Mr Masters office as he had requested me to meet him here.

I took a deep breath and opened the door and stepped into the room, closing the door behind me.

I looked to the desk at the back of the office and saw his back facing me.

Mr Masters had a body to die for, he was 6'6 of pure muscle that bulged out of his dress robes.

He was one of the scarier professor's in the academy, even some of the other professor's were afraid of him.

I had been a bit afraid of him when he moved here at the start of the new school year, especially once I figured out he was my mate.

But after.......many detentions these past few weeks my liking for him has grown. He's a good guy, he really is, it just takes getting to know him to figure him out.

"Well are you going to just stand there or are you going to give me a hug?" his deep voice rang out and my face heated up when I realised I'd been staring.

I walked into his open arms as he wraps them around me tight, my head resting against his muscular chest.

When you look at us our size difference is quite funny. Compared to his 6'6 height I only stand at 6'2. I wasn't all that muscular either, I was lean but not bulky.

I sank into his warmth as he held me tight.

"I want to meet your parents." he suddenly said.

I looked up at him stunned, I had wanted him to meet them for a while now but he's always been hesitant. He said he didn't want to make a bad impression on them.

I don't get how he thinks he'd give off a bad impression. He's been around for hundreds of years, he's a professor at one of the most prestigious vampire academy's in the world.........and he's handsome.

"Really?" I said smiling up at him.

He smiled down at me and pecked my nose, then my cheeks and forehead. My cheeks warmed as I snuggled further into his embrace.

"Really. You make me so happy Carden. You have no idea how painful these past hundreds of years have been mateless." he said into my hair.

"But we can't even mate yet." I pouted.

He chuckled and pulled my face up to his, giving me a loving kiss. I moaned into his mouth, sinking further into his hold.

"I'd wait another hundred years if it ment I could spend eternity with you, and if we have to wait, then we'll wait. Nothing will change how much you mean to me." his deep voice ran out.

"You mean so much to me too." I said as I leaned in for another kiss.

And that's how we stayed for the rest of the evening, wrapped in each others arms.
