Mortimer's P.O.V:
After Alice removed the hair clip that I gave her, it pained me so much because to me it's a small sign of rejection. I tried to go after her, when she decided to run away I tried to follow her, but then I realized it would be better if she cool off.
Right now there is one question that is playing on my mind. How did she find out about the incident that I'm trying to keep in the past? Well, it wasn't anything illegal. Well, not it's considered illegal on land, but legal in the underwater kingdom. And then there is a huge mess that follows after that, I don't think she would want to hear her. But I can't say that this incident didn't influence my sanity, but right now I have better control of my sanity.
After a couple of hours have passed, I started to think about my decision. Should I regret the decision to let her cool off? Should I follow her until I catch her, so I could say sorry to her?
Maybe, it's better to cool off things first. So we can talk about it later. But it's already late. Maybe I should search for her? Or maybe I should do it in the morning in case she doesn't cool off?
Right now morning sounds better to me, but I still worry about her. I guess I should give her more time.
The next day when I woke up there was no new scent that indicated that Alice came back. So I decided to send a werecat who can track her scent. Sure, I could go and search for her but it doesn't mean I'm able to track her down by scent since this land is not underwater. Suddenly, my phone rang, so I picked my phone up.
"Sir, it appears to be that your soulmate is kidnapped." Said a tracker with a hesitant voice. How? We never had intruders on this island for a long time! How can she get kidnapped if I have different kinds of guards patrolling this island?
"How?" I asked him to try to contain my emotions. Because I was the one who should keep her safe and now I deeply regret not following her.
"It appears that someone had teleported into the island, to the place where your soulmate was last time. Also, I smelled a foreign wizard's scent ." He explained. Now I see someone had planned this because teleporting into another place costs a lot of energy, but no one would teleport if they don't have a plan.

"Ask local witches or wizards to help track down this person by magic aura. Then get guards to try searching in the port in Europe, North and South America, and Africa." I ordered him and ended the call.
Maybe people were right when they said I don't deserve a soulmate. I mean no one knows for how long I can keep my sanity without snapping and what if I snap in front of Alice? Well, Alice doesn't trigger me in any way. And I haven't snapped at anyone when I was sent off to live on land. But I still broke three Golden rules of sirens, which always worked for sirens when we found our soulmates.
Three special rules help us to keep our soulmates. Those rules are :
1. Make your soulmate's world happy.
2. Make sure that she feels loved and cherished by you.
3. Keep her safe.
In the end, I broke those rules, she wasn't happy in the first place when I met her. She felt pressured by me when I tried to mark her. And I didn't keep her safe. I just hope that she is all right. I couldn't bear to lose her. She is the only light to my darkness that I've been through.
Alice's P.O.V :
There was a time when I played chess with Mortimer. I found a chessboard in the library and it's the right moment when Mortimer wanted to spend time with me. To analyze his intellect's capabilities I offered him to play chess which he happily agreed. Which was weird for me because back in the pack people were always intimidated by my intelligence. When I asked people who are older than me, they said that I shouldn't be doing those things because it's not normal for a girl to play chess in the pack. But Mortimer agreed without a doubt to play with me.
When we started playing we started moving our pawns first to start a real game. I took out a few of his pawns with my bishop, but instantly he took out my bishop with his rook. I've always hated rooks, but I decided to not give up. After a few minutes of playing, I realized that he is indeed a good player.
"It seems you got me in Mate," He said. I looked at the pieces again and he was right but there was a chance for him to win.

"Yeah, but there is a chance you could win," I said.
"No, to do that I would need to sacrifice my Queen, I just couldn't bear to lose my Queen." Did he just use a pick-up line on me?
"Did you agree to play the game with me, so you can use the pick-up line on me? " I asked Mortimer. And Mortimer smiled mischievously.
"Maybe or maybe not. Even though I've lost, I still enjoyed playing chess with you! Do you want to play another round?" Mortimer asked and I agreed to play another round. We played until we both were bored and decided to watch a movie.
Mortimer never treated me like I'm just a person to bear kids. He always treated me like an equal and he always treated me as a companion with whom he will spend the rest of his life.
He always respected my views when there was a topic about politics. He always made me feel that I could share anything with him, while in the pack I had to keep some things quiet. I always felt loved and cherished next to me.
I just couldn't believe there was a chance where I could never meet Mortimer, the only man who made me feel that I belong here.
I woke up in the infirmary and there was a noise of a monitor beeping. I tried to move, but since there was still a wolfbane in my system my body hurts like hell when I move. I guess I'm stuck here for now until I get better, but when I get better I don't think I would want to come back to the pack since I'm expected to lie and marry Alexander. I can go back to Mortimer, but we had a conflict. I don't think he wants to see me. It seems I'm alone in the Vampire's coven.
Someone decided to check on me and this time there was a woman who was a werewolf but marked by the vampire and looked similar to me.
"We finally met as I promised." She said in a familiar voice.
"Mom?" I asked in a raspy voice. I couldn't believe that I met my mother after all those years. Sometimes I wished she could come sooner. With this thought, tears started appearing in my eyes.
"I couldn't believe that they did this to you!" She said as her tears also appeared in her eyes. She has light brown hair like mine but she also has green eyes.
"What are you hoping they would do? Why did you leave us ?" I asked. I can guess probably by the conversation I had with a vampire, but I thought it was a dream.
"When I was eighteen years old I was set up in an arranged marriage with your father. I couldn't get out of the arranged marriage no matter what. So I came to love your father and then you guys appeared. When we were on vacation in Miami I met my soulmate, then he found and tried to win my heart and I fell in love. " She explained.
"I missed you so much, I wish you would have taken me with you at least," I said and I almost sobbed.
"I missed you too. But you saw how one member of the council can be power-hungry? If I have taken you with me I could get killed and you would never see me. At least I could pester my soulmate to send some council on the day of your first Mating ball in case you would get chosen by the Crystal of Eros. Speaking of your soulmate, should I call him to tell you are here?" She asked me and then I remembered that we had a conflict.
"I don't think he would want to see me, we got in a fight." I sobbed.
"Oh sweetie, every married or unmarried couple gets in a fight. I think he will be worried for you and start looking for you since he hasn't seen you for like three days." She comforted me. True, but I had never had a boyfriend so I never experienced that before I met Mortimer.
"Three days?" I asked. If I was saved three days ago I don't know how long I've stayed in Gerard's hideout. It could be a week or two weeks.
Then we started catching up on our lives. Mom asked about me and my brother then I asked about her life. And the fun fact is I have a stepbrother whose name is Julien Blackborne and I have a little half-sister.
