Chapter Text
The next morning,
I carefully got out of bed, grabbed my clothes, and dressed. I glanced back at him in bed, tears already streaming down my face, aware that this was the final moment I would see him. Last night felt different, but I must protect both myself and him.
"I'll never forget you," I say as I leave his room and run down the stairs. The cab arrives, and I get in.
'Take me to the airport, please,' I say, and we head out. Tears stream down as I glance back; his house disappears from my blurred sight, fixed in my memory.
Simon POV
I woke up feeling that something was wrong. I saw that my side was empty. I looked toward the bathroom and listened, but there was nothing. I slowly lifted myself up and stepped out of bed. I focused on my hearing and smell, but I still sensed nothing.
I walked down the stairs and called my driver; Erik came inside.
"Yes, my lord," he says.
"Where is Wilhelm?" I asked.
"Isn't he upstairs, Lord?" he asked.
Since Erik didn't know where he was, it was even more concerning. I opened my door and saw my dad standing there.
"This isn't a good time," I say.
"That is no way to talk to your father. Now, let me in," he says.
I step aside as he walks in and looks around.
"Look, Dad," I start to say.
"Where is your pet?" he asked.
"He's asleep," I say.
"Oh, okay, well, go get him. I have plans today," he says, turning toward me.
I walk up the stairs and go to the room, maybe he's in there, but there's nothing. I go back into my room and realize that none of his belongings are here. I pull out my phone and dial his number.
'Sorry, the person you're calling is no longer in service.' I hung up and sat in my bed. I took a deep breath and felt my fangs come out. Did something happen to him?
I stood up, went into my closet, got dressed, and headed downstairs. My dad stood up.
"So he had to leave. I forgot," I say, coming to my dad.
"Oh, okay, then we can still go. Come on," he says.
I follow him and get into his car as the driver takes us. I try to stay calm, knowing my dad would find out.
The car stops, and the door opens; I step out as we are on a hill near the castle. I follow him to the edge, where he stands.
"Well, son, this is going to be yours soon, and I expect you to handle it as it is," he says.
"Yes, Father," I say as I stand by him.
"No distractions this time, okay? The people expect a lot from you, and I waited for centuries," he says.
"I know, Father," I say.
"You know, your mother would have been proud," he says.
My dad has never mentioned my mother; it seems like a secret only he knows. I tried to find out from others, but he kept her hidden. All I know is that she was human.
Of course, I think that's why my dad is okay with humans, because he was with one before, and now I'm here. I came out as a full vampire, so I never had to worry about my mother. The only one who knows she's human is me, because he told me.
"Good. Well, I think it's time for lunch, so come on," he says.
I follow him, and we drive to the castle. Once inside, we head to his office. He calls for food, and we wait.
The guards bring in a woman and a man.
"I know you prefer men," he says as he approaches the girl, pulls her neck to the side, and bites down on her. She screams.
I stood up as the guy looked terrified; I looked at him.
"You are going to feel nothing and should just let me drink," I say as I hypo him. He instantly relaxes and turns his neck to the side. I approach him and bite down. His blood tastes unpleasant, which was strange.
"Son, why don't you just rip it out?" my dad asked. I pulled away, and the guy slowly fell to the ground.
"I don't like the taste," I say, wiping my mouth.
"It's the best when they are petrified, it's sweet," he says, wiping his mouth. "Well, I have a meeting, so you can go home now," he adds.
I nod and walk out of his office into the car.
As I was almost home, I felt very sick to my stomach.
"Pull over now!" I shouted.
The car pulled over, and I stepped out to vomit, holding my stomach because it hurt. After I finished, my stomach felt better. I stood there, looked around, and saw that nobody was nearby.
I got back in the car, and they continued driving the rest of the way home.
Wilhelm POV
Three Months Later....
I'm in bed as I gradually get up, then step out to the balcony and sit down with a groan. I've been sick since I left. I'm looking out at the beautiful beach.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" my friend asked as she sat down next to me.
"Like shit," I say.
"God, how long have you been sick?" she asked.
"About two months," I say, sitting up, and my body aches.
"What did the doctor say?" she asked.
They can't figure it out. I don't have a fever, and my bloodwork is perfect—just feel all physical. I say.
"Weird," she says. "Well, I have to get to work, so just call me if you need me," she says.
"Okay," I say.
After a few minutes, I slowly stood up and walked to the railing to look at the ocean. Of course, I thought about him many times. My father was angry I left, but I didn't tell anyone where I was. I made sure to cover myself when I boarded the plane, and once I arrived, I changed my entire look.
My hair is long, and I'm very skinny. I wear all black in town to look completely different. Sometimes at night, I cry because I miss him, though I bet he's moved on.
I try to avoid looking at social media because I don't want to see something I might regret.
As night fell, I slowly walked outside to the beach, feeling the sand beneath my feet, which felt so good. I simply breathed in and enjoyed the soothing sound of the waves.
"Wilhelm," I heard someone call me, and I tensed up. I wasn't sure who it was, but I slowly turned around and saw it was Erik. He stood there, and his eyes glowed in the dark.
"Erik?" I asked, trying to confirm I wasn't imagining things. Then I realized it meant he was here, which made me panic.
"Hey, he's not here; he has no idea I'm here. Calm down," he says as he approaches me. I try to breathe, but because of how my body feels, I fall to the ground. He comes up to me and rubs my back.
"Hey, calm down... " It's just me," he asked. "Fuck, how do I help a human?"
I just looked at him, and the expression on his face made me laugh hard because he looked so genuinely concerned.
"Okay, I'm confused. Are you laughing now?" he asked, arms raised.
I held my stomach as I laughed so loudly. I just couldn't take him seriously right now, which means... Simon.
Suddenly, I started to cry. What the fuck is wrong with me?
"Okay, I give up. I can't handle this human stuff anymore. Are you okay?" he asked, looking defeated.
"No... I really am not. I'm fucking sick and I've been miserable," I say as I completely break down.
"Fuck, you to,?" Erik says as he comes down to me and holds me. It felt so wrong, like I wanted to push him away, but I couldn't fight anymore. I just cried while he held me. I know this isn't what he signed up for, but damn it, I needed it. I realized what he said.
"Wait... what do you mean, you to?" I asked as I got concerned.
"Well... Lord... Uhm, he's sick," he says slowly as he watches me.
I felt confused at first
"Lord?" I asked. Why would he tell me about him?
"Yes, Lord Simon," he says, and I instinctively tense and look at him.
"Wait, mas..." I started to say. "Simon? What about him?" I asked as I got close to him.
"He's been sick since you left Wilhelm, and now this confirms what I suspected," he says.
'What do you mean?" I asked, confused.
"How long have you been sick? And can the doctors fix it?" he asked.
"How did you know?" I asked.
Erik looked around and then approached me.
"You guys are true mates, that's why you're both sick because you're far apart. You need to get back together, and you'll feel better instantly," he says excitedly, as if he's figured it out. "We need to leave ASAP now," Erik says, getting up and offering his hand. I stayed sitting on the ground.
"Wilhelm?" he said, looking disappointed. I just sat there, crossing my arms.
"Why??? Why did you leave? I mean, your job wasn't even bad... You have no idea... why," Erik says as he drops to his knees. He looked so... sad.
"I can't... I just... I can't... I'm sorry," I say, tears falling down my face.
"So that's it? You're just going to let my lord die?!" he shouted, baring his fangs. I backed away because I didn't like the way he showed his fangs. He then walked over and climbed on top of me.
"I should kill you! How could you let my lord die? After everything, how are you his mate and just be okay with this?!?!!!!" he shouts in my face.
"Die?" I asked.
"Yes! He's dying and only I know. I can't lose him! He's my brother!" he yells, hissing at me. I can feel how angry and scared he is.
"Will I die?" I asked.
"Yes, if true mates stay away from each other very long, then you both will pass away," he says, looking at me.
"True mates?" I asked.
"Yes, older vampires have a true mate; only they do, and you are my lords," he says.
"That's why I'm sick? Because I'm away from him?" I asked.
"Yes, that's exactly why. I realized he got sick when you left, and when I found you a few days ago and saw you were ill, it confirmed my suspicion," he says
I sat there, thinking about everything; it made sense, but his dad...
I asked, not looking at him, "How does the king feel about true mates?"
"Why?" Erik asked.
"Just curious," I say.
"I mean, he's the one who made it come true; he thinks I didn't know, but I know Simon's mom was human," Erik says.
"So, if I were his true mate, then he would approve?" I asked, looking down.
"Yeah... why?" Erik asked as he got in front of me. I could tell he was looking for something.
'What the fuck are you not telling me, human? You're hiding something, and you're not leaving until I get the answer," he says.
I start to have tears streaming down my face because I haven't told anyone about what happened that night. It haunts me, and I can't keep it in my mind. I looked at Erik, and he looked concerned.
"I can't... I just..." I say, beginning to break down even more.
Wilhelm, you will tell me right now what the fuck happened," he says.
I started to shake. I'm not very scared, but my body is so sensitive that I couldn't help it.
"Why are you so terrified?" he asked, his voice softening. I looked at him. "Did I scare you?"
"No, I just... I can't tell you, Erik. You don't understand... my life," I say.
He puts his hand on my shoulder,
"Look, if I promise it stays between us, will you tell me? I'll make a blood pact that I can't break—it's impossible," he says.
"What's that?" I asked.
He grew his nail, scratched his finger, and held it up
"I, Erik Eriksson, will honor this pact, and whatever is said, I cannot tell anybody. It's only between Wilhelm Young and me," he says as he holds his hand out, and I lift mine up. He lightly pokes my finger, and I put mine on his. I feel an electric shock.
"im now bound to never tell anybody what is said between us" he says
I actually believe him, and I brought my knees to my chest.
"That night, when we went to the castle, I danced with Mass...Simon, and then his dad asked to dance with me. I did, but he... uh... pretty much told me I had to leave or he would kill me," I say, tears running down my face.
"Are you kidding me?" he asked.
"No, he said that he would do to me what he did to his one girl.. Oh, it was horrible. He just bit her and hurt her. He killed her in front of us, and I realized he was sending me a message. Then, he threatened my family if I didn't leave him," I say, bawling my eyes out, and Erik comes to hug me.
OMG... OMG... omg... fuck... that was so fucked up... why would the king do that? ...God, I couldn't imagine," he says. I could tell he was shocked.
Yeah, I left him, even though I'm..." I start to say, but then I halt myself.
"You can tell me," he says, and I felt the need to tell him.
"I had to leave even though I fell for him," I say.
"I know... I could see it," Erik says.
"But a pet shouldn't..." I start to say.
"You're not a pet, Wilhelm... you're a true mate..." he says as he leans back.
Erik, I can't go back... if the king..." I say.
"No, you're coming back, and I'll figure something out, okay? But please, you need to come back," Erik says as he approaches me
"But the king," I say.
"I'll hide you, okay? But please, I need my lord to get better. You don't understand—if they suspect him to be weak, they will kill him and then you will die," he says.
I thought about it, looked at Erik, and nodded.
"Okay, come on, I'll carry you," he says as he stands up and picks me up. He takes me to the house, and I go inside, where Sara is sitting.
"So I'm going home," I say as Erik comes in.
She looks at him, then at me, and winks.
"okay.. I see your problem from home came to finally get you, have fun" she says
I roll my eyes and leave with Erik. We get into the car and head to the airport. Of course, he had to carry me a lot because I couldn't walk much.
As we approached my city, I felt very nervous. When we landed, I slowly tried to stand up, but then I managed to stand up without issues.
"Omg, I can move again!" I exclaim as we reach the port, then start to run. "OMG, I can run again and jump," I add.
Erik just looked at me like I was crazy.
"Look, if you were like an old man for months, you would do this too," I say as I skip and run around.
We got into the car, sat down, and I looked out as we traveled through the city, then a forest, and finally up a trail to a small cabin. We stepped out and entered inside.
"You're still good, right?" he asked.
"I feel so good, omg," I say, running around.
Good, okay, that means the lord should feel better then. I'm going to go now, and I'll see you later," he says.
Erik leaves, so I step outside to go for a run and start running. The forest felt cool and refreshing. I ran for a while, then slowed to a walk when I got tired.
I headed back to the cabin when I saw Erik's car. He came out looking concerned, and I walked toward him, but he ran to me.
"He's not better, Wilhelm... I think... I think he needs your blood," he says.
"My blood?" I asked.
"Yeah, I gave him blood as soon as I saw him, and no, he couldn't handle it. Can I please have some of yours to test it?" Erik says.
I said "sure" as we went inside, and Erik poked me, causing it to drip into the bottle.
"Thank you, I'll be back," he says as he leaves and drives off fast.
I stood there, curious, hoping that it helped him.
Erik's POV
I ran into his house and hurried upstairs because I had the blood. Hopefully, it works, I thought to myself. I walked into his room, where he was in bed. It was dark, and he was coughing.
"My lord," I say.
"Erik, please, I need help getting up. I want to go outside under the moon, "he says.
I put the bottle down and go to his bedside, helping him up and taking him outside to the railing. He's slower than before.
Fuck... What the fuck is wrong with me!" he shouted in frustration.
I take the bottle and go to hand it to him.
"No, Erik... I just threw up," he says.
"Please, Lord, try again... you're weak," I say, knowing that would make him drink.
He grabs it, drinks, looks down at it, tastes again, then suddenly throws it on the ground and I am suddenly held against the wall.
"I see you got your strength back," I say.
"Where the fuck is he? I swear to god, if you hurt him, I will fucking kill you. Tell me right now," he says, baring his fangs with eyes dark with rage.
Well, this confirms my point now...
Wilhelm POV
I'm sitting in the cabin relaxing. I looked into the kitchen and started cooking. There were many ingredients here, so I decided to make something I haven't had in a long time: homemade pizza.
I heard the door open.
"I'm in here, Erik," I shout.
"Well, welcome back," I heard, and I tensed up. My body shifted into survival mode as I slowly turned to see the king standing there with his arms crossed. I felt completely frozen in place. How did he find me?
"You think I didn't have you followed? I needed to ensure you stayed away, and it worked. But when I heard you were back and staying with Erik, I had to find out why you would choose to return," he says as he approaches, and I step back.
"I mean, you humans just don't listen. You think you rule over us and that you're above us," he says, stepping closer, his fangs bared, which really terrified me.
'Too bad you won't even get to see him now," he says as he pulls me close and tilts my head to the side.
The door opens suddenly, and Erik is there.
"Wilhelm, I'm sorry, I had to," he begins to say as I saw Simon. He looked between me and his father, then came right over, hissed, and pulled his dad away to stand in front of me.
"What the hell is going on here? How dare you try to hurt him!" he says.
I haven't been close to him in such a long time, and I can really feel my body relaxing. It’s like everything I felt before is now safe and secure.
"This human will ruin you, son. He needs to be dealt with, "his dad says.
"What are you talking about?" he yells.
"He can't be hypnotized, son; he's bad for us... he could ruin us," he says.
'Lord Mike," Erik suddenly says, and we all turn toward him.
Erik says, "They are true mates; that's why he can't be, as it's a protection thing."
The king gasps, looking at us.
"Is this true?" he asked.
"I don't know... I mean," Simon says.
"I gave you his blood, and you felt better instantly," Erik says.
"Were you sick?" the king asked.
"Yes, Lord. He was sick when Wilhelm left, and when I found Wilhelm, he was also sick and couldn't even move," Erik says. "I brought him here to verify it, and I can confirm it," Erik adds.
Simon turned toward me, and I could see many emotions flicker in his eyes. It seemed he wanted to ask me something, and I could sense the hurt, disappointment, anger, and sadness in him.
"If this is actually true, then I would have made a big mistake," the king says.
"To kill me," I said as I watched Simon's eyes go dark and he turned to his dad, holding him against the wall.
"You were going to kill him?" he spits out.
"son... I was" he says.
"He threatened me that night, saying I needed to leave and that he would go after my family."
Erik, I want you to take my dad and put him in the dungeon until I decide what I want to do. That's an order, "Simon says."
'Son, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." he begins to plead as Erik pulls him away and the guards enter.
"He will need to go into the dungeon. He tried to kill my mate, "Simon says.
The way he said that sent a shiver down my spine.
"Yes, the Lord," they say as they leave with his dad in tow.
He turns to me while looking at Erik. "You can leave now," he says.
"Yes, my lord. I'll be outside in the small cabin," he says, bowing and leaving. I stood there, arms crossed, as he looked at me.
"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked.
"I was scared," I said.
Simon just stands there; I sense he's upset and seems distant.
"It's going to take some time before anything happens... I'm very upset with you," he says.
I say, looking down, "I understand."
He says, "I'll be staying here, or you can come stay with me until we figure out what to do with my father."
"Can we just stay here? I'm not ready," I say, as it's too full of memories at his place.
"Fine, then I'll take the other room," he says as he leaves.
I glance at the pizza I made and have to admit, it doesn't look very appealing right now.
I go to fix something else and then sit down. He enters and joins me at the table. I eat my food while he stays seated, and I notice he's tense as I glance at him.
"Do you need to eat?" I asked him.
He looked at me as if he was thinking. "Yes," he says.
I go over to him and hold out my arm. He looks at my arm, then at me. I see his fangs grow, and I miss seeing him like that. He grabs my arm and leans forward as he bites down.
He moaned as he started to suck, feeling good where he bit. I didn't experience any pain. I watched him drink.
He pulled back and licked the holes as they healed. He held my arm, and I just let him, missing his touch.
We looked at each other, feeling a strange tension without any words spoken.
He pulled my arm down as he moved back, and I realized he wanted me to straddle him. I got on top of him, his hands wrapping around my waist as he held me close. He pulled me near, laying his head on my shoulder, and I wrapped my arms around his neck.
This was different, but I could sense how much he missed me.
"I'm still hungry," he whispered.
I leaned back slightly and turned my neck to the side. He looked up at me, then leaned forward and bit down on my neck.
We both moaned, feeling pleased. Is it wrong that I miss him biting me? I truly miss many things.
Once he was finished, he pulled back and looked at me, with some blood dripping down his chin. I raised my hand to wipe away the blood, keeping it on his face as I gently cleaned him.
His hand moved to the back of my hair, pulling me closer, our faces now just inches apart. I could tell we both wanted to close the gap, but hesitated because it had been three months.
"It's been too long," he says.
'very" I whisper.
He pulled away and lifted me off him. "I'm going to bed," he says as he stands up and leaves the kitchen.
I sighed and went to the room on the opposite side. I took off my clothes, got into bed, covered myself, and fell asleep.
I woke up in the morning and stayed in bed. There was a knock on my door.
"Come in," I say.
Simon walks in and sits on the bed as I sit up.
"So, what did you want to do about my dad?" He asked.
"I'm not sure... he threatened me and would have harmed me if you hadn't arrived."
"Okay, so death," he says as he looks at me.
I mean, no..." I say.
"Well then, what, Wilhelm?" Simon asked, annoyed.
"I don't want to be responsible for someone's death, Simon," I say with seriousness. Simon sighed. "I'm not prepared for that responsibility... I just returned," I say.
Well, let's go, and you can decide once we get there," he says, standing up.
"Wait... we have to go to the castle," I asked.
"Yes," he says.
"Okay," I say as I get up and get dressed. I decide to wear all black.
We stepped out of the cabin and into the limo. The drive was quiet, and as I looked out the window at the castle coming into view, I started to feel anxious.
"Your safe," Simon said, and I looked at him.
"Promise?" I asked, needing to feel safe.
"Yes," he says.
We arrived and stepped out. I walked beside him as the door opened. We walked down a long hallway into a large room with chairs arranged in a big circle. I followed him to the center, where he sat down, and I sat beside him. Many people were present, and I could feel their gaze on me.
Simon nodded, and they brought out his dad, who was looking down. They then sat him in the chair.
Simon stood up and approached him while he looked around.
'My father is here because he was planning to kill my mate," he says, causing gasps and whispers among the crowd. "He tried to kill him last night, and then he threatened his family and his life," he adds.
The gasps and looks I received made me sit up straight and focus entirely on Sion.
He tells his dad, 'You can have the floor and say your peace,' as he comes to sit beside me.
"I didn't know he was his true mate. We can't manipulate him, and it scared me. I didn't want him to hurt my son. I swear on the moon, I had no idea he was his true mate. I was only trying to protect my son, and I realized that if I had killed him, I would have also killed my son. I'm so sorry, Wilhelm."
I felt tears in my eyes as the last three months have been rough for me because of this. I was scared for my life for days and had nightmares.
"So I will have my mate make the decision," Simon said, as he looked at me, and I then felt everyone looking at me.
I looked at his father,
I was scared for my life for three months because of you. I had nightmares and kept looking over my shoulder, but I am not like you; I don't believe killing is the answer. I stood up and approached him. "I will not be like you and kill out of fear," I said. "You will live with this, and I ask that you never kill again. If you do, you should face the same fate." I stood up to him, feeling everyone's eyes on me as I returned to my seat.
"Okay, that's the verdict then, Father. You cannot kill; if you do, that will be your fate," Simon says.
"Thank you... I won't kill again, it's over," he says as the guards take him away. Simon approaches me, holds my hand. He then leads me out of the room, and we leave the castle.
Two months later...
I'm in my room, sit up, and get ready in the bathroom. After fixing myself up, I leave. I pass by the sex room and pause; I look down the hall and try to open the door, but it's locked. I keep walking and then proceed downstairs.
Simon is reading like he usually does, and I go into the kitchen to cook myself some breakfast.
As I finish, Simon comes in, I hold out my arm, he feeds, then he leaves.
Simon and I do live together, but nothing has happened between us. He only eats from me when he needs to, always waiting until I eat first, then I feed him. It felt strange at first, but now I am used to it. I'm unsure if we will ever return to how we were. I know I hurt him by leaving, and a week ago, his father had to be put down because he broke his promise and killed someone. I knew he wouldn't last long, and now I feel like Simon blames me.
He became upset after the incident with his dad and left without waiting for me. I don't blame him because I still see my dad during the weekdays. Marcus and Felice are now married, and I've noticed him flirting with a new girl who worked with us, so I don't think it will last.
I have now quit my job since I didn't need it anymore, as Simon will take care of me.
I decide to have a bonfire tonight for myself and go for a swim. I cooked some s'mores, then undressed to my boxers and jumped in. I floated on the water. The nighttime has become more relaxing for me, and I prefer it over the daytime.
"Have you eaten?" I heard.
Yeah, I saw Simon standing there as I sat up in the water. I swam to the edge and climbed out, water dripping from me as I approached him. I held out my arm, expecting him to take it, but instead, he was looking at my body.
His eyes then met mine, and the lustful look in his eyes was something I hadn't seen in a long time. Naturally, my body responded immediately, and I lowered my arm.
"Oh, I thought you wanted to feed," I say.
He remains quiet as he removes his clothes and jumps into the water. I watch him and raise an eyebrow, then I join him. He starts swimming after me, and I try to run, but he catches me and holds me against him. I enjoy it, so I don't try hard to break free. I can feel him against me, and I like that.
I gradually cease resisting and remain still, with his arms still around me. I lean back against him because I want this, and I can tell he feels the same.
We just stood there as he held me—a moment I needed from him. If this is all I get, I'll take it over nothing. I don't know how long we stood like this, but then he turned me toward him. His hand reached the back of my head, and his other hand lifted my leg as I wrapped my legs around his waist.
He didn't waste a second as his lips pressed against mine; we both moaned, feeling how amazing it was. His tongue slid into mine, and I could sense his fangs.
He pressed my back against the pool wall, and the kiss grew heavier and more heated. I felt his hand tug on my bottoms, and I unwrapped my legs from his waist. We removed our bottoms and threw them aside. I wrapped my legs around his waist and felt grateful that I opened myself last night when I used my dildo.
"Fuck... I wanted you for so long. I just needed to trust you. You have no idea how hard it's been with you here. I’ve just wanted you in my bed so many nights." he tells me as I feel him rubbing his cock on my hole.
"I needed you, Simon... I missed you," I say, feeling tears streaming down my face. He wipes my tears and kisses me.
"I missed you, Wilhelm," I said as we made love all night.
50 years later..
I'm lying in bed and looking at myself in the mirror by my bed. I see myself wearing the jacket from his closet—the deep red one with black soft designs. I've been wearing it a lot lately.
The door opens, and Simon enters...
Simon POV
I walk over to Wilhelm, gather his pills, and prepare them for the day.
"Simon... not anymore," he says, and I look at him.
"What do you mean?" I asked as I had them ready.
"Baby, I'm done. I'm just masking what is actually happening, "he says.
"But," I say,
"Simon, please, come to bed and make love to me," he says.
"Wilhelm, you know what the doctors said and what could happen if you get excited."
"Baby, please... you know this is it. I just want one more time with you. We haven't because you've been so scared, but I'm ready, and I know you are too. Let's make it worth it and be together this time. I would rather go this way than the other. It hurts," he says as I see he's finished.
I felt my eyes start to glaze over.
"Hey, it's okay. It's what's best for us. Remember? We've talked about this for years, baby. I promise. I'm ready," he says, tears streaming down his face. I also knew it was time.
"Okay, baby, I'll be right back," I say, and he looked happy, genuinely happy.
I go downstairs as I write the note, knowing it was coming soon and feeling ready. I grab the knife and go upstairs. I get undressed, looking down at him—he only has the robe on, and fuck, he was so beautiful.
"So beautiful," I say as I get on top of him.
"I'm old and wrecked," he says.
"Your perfect," I say as I lean forward and kiss him. Despite being 70 years old, he was beautiful. Unfortunately, he had severe heart issues, and this time he had a heart attack—I almost lost him. We talked about this several times, and I wanted to keep him alive, but I could see he was tired and exhausted.
"Why didn't you let me turn you?" I asked him, as I always did.
"I wanted to grow old, Simon. I know you hated that decision, but I just wasn't ready for the whole immortality thing," he says.
"You could have stayed young and healthy," I say as tears run down my face.
"I know, but the last 50 years have been amazing, and I couldn't ask for a better mate," he says.
Third Person POV
"Only for you," says Simon.
"Please, Simon... I need you..." Wilhelm whispered as Simon held him close.
Simon advanced his hearing to listen to his heart, which was beating rapidly. He moved between his legs and aligned himself with him.
"Are you sure? Because once we do this, that's it," Simon says.
"Yes, I am ready," Wilhelm said, wrapping his arms around his neck and leaning in to kiss him. He slowly entered him and then pulled away as his lips parted.
"Oh, Simon," Wilhelm murmured.
It has been too long since they made love, as it was always a risk.
"Don't hold back, just like old times," Wilhelm moans.
Simon starts to move into him slowly but firmly, feeling his heart race. He begins to thrust more quickly, maintaining a steady pace.
"OMG Wilhelm... you're so good... OMG baby... I'm going to miss you... You've been the best mate, baby... I love you so much," Simon told him
"I love you, baby... I'll always be yours... you'll always be mine," Wilhelm moaned as Simon started to pound harder in him. He knew it might be too much for Wilhelm's heart, but this was the point. He could hear Wilhelm's heart racing, and Wilhelm moaned loudly.
The bed began to squeak as their love-making grew so intense, Simon gave Wilhelm everything he had.
"Omg.. baby.. I'm coming.. come with me.. omg.. this is the best feeling, thank you, Simon.. I love you so much.. I can feel it.. I can feel it.. "Wilhelm moaned out in ecstasy
"I love you, baby. I'm coming, baby. Come with me," Simon moans.
They both cum at the same time, their bodies jerking intensely. Simon heard a beat skip, and Wilhelm tensed slightly. Simon then bit into him, trying to numb the pain.
"Thank you, baby... that feels so much better... I love you dearly..." Wilhelm moans, tears streaming down his face.
Simon pulls away as he hears his heart slow. He looks down at Wilhelm, who looks so happy and satisfied. He hasn't seen Wilhelm with this look in a year.
"I love you so much, Wilhelm... You're my one and only," Simon says, pulling Wilhelm into a hug with tears streaming down his face. Wilhelm's hand gently rests on Simon's hair, and Simon looks up.
"I'll always be immortally yours," Wilhelm says as he closes his eyes, and Simon could hear his words slow down.
"I'll always be immortally yours, Wilhelm... always immortally yours," he whispers, as he hears his heartbeat slow down, gradually becoming weaker until it finally stops.
He lifted himself up now that Wilhelm is gone. He took the blade he had brought and held Wilhelm tightly as he stabbed it into his chest. He winced, knowing it would hurt, but it didn't hurt more than how he felt inside, since he no longer has his mate here.
He laid on Wilhelm as he shivered, but before he was completely gone.
"I'm immortally yours, Wilhelm" as he slowly passed away with his true mate.
The End
