Chapter 48: Journey
[Music Recommendation "Spring day" by BTS]
"I don’t need anything as payment from her; I’m only doing this because you said you’ll be teleporting there." Luna tried to explain.
"You don’t have to worry about my mate, she will be fine." Eiravyn said, as a matter of fact, leaving no room for argument.
"If you insist," Luna said, shrugging her shoulders, "but I do feel like, she’d need
it to keep up with the sudden movement."
Eiravyn glared at the liquid in the bottle;he couldn’t detect any lie from her, "then you drink from it." Eiravyn declared ruthlessly, tilting his head to the side.
Serena watched all this; she was about to chime in when she felt Eiravyn hardened gaze on her—she immediately kept her mouth shut.
Luna could not believe this as she stared at Eiravyn, completely dumbfounded, but she still reached for the bottle and drank from it,
"This is just a portion for replenishing one’s energy. There’s nothing here, King Eiravyn." Luna said with a sigh as she drank from the magic portion.
But Eiravyn was still not convinced, he waited for a few minutes to check if there would be any changes in the witch before he finally took the bottle back from her.
He gave it back to Serena, "you can drink from it now."
Caspian watched all this with a look of disbelief evident on his face. Why would anyone dare think to poison the great vampire king’s mate? Caspian wondered to himself as he shook his head.
Serena finally accepted the bottle and uncapped it again, the liquid inside was purple and had a subtle sheen light, reflecting through the container. She steeled her resolve before she drank from the bottle.
The liquid inside was completely tasteless and felt just like water, but strangely, after drinking the liquid she felt a sudden boost in her energy, Serena gasp in disbelief as she stared at the bottle.
"Can I get more of this spell portion?" Serena suddenly asked, she gave a low smile, smiling sweetly at Luna.
"I’m afraid that wouldn’t be possible right now, but I’d make sure to bring more for you the next time we meet." Luna assured while glaring at Eiravyn, but the man didn’t even spare her a glance.
"Now kitten, can we go?" Eiravyn asked, his tone gentle seemingly implying that they would leave only if she was ready to go. Serena nodded as she felt his hold on her tightening,
"Remember what I said, do not look down. This is your first time, so you might feel better but I believe with the portion you just drank you will surely feel fine. Now, close your eyes and hold onto me as tightly as you can."
As he said all this, Serena noticed that he was not holding Caspian, how then will he get there? she wondered. Even though Eiravyn had warned her never to mention another man’s name, she could not help but ask,
"What about Caspian?" Serena asked Eiravyn.
The man merely shrugged, " don’t worry about him kitten, he has his way." Serena could only sigh...
With that she held unto Eiravyn tightly as per his command with her eyes closed she counted the seconds, the seconds turning to minute, and in the next moments, she felt a strong gust of wind.
The sudden gust of wind almost tripped Luna off her feet as within second King Eiravyn and Serena were gone, leaving behind Caspian and Luna.
Serena felt the wind splash her face strongly, she suddenly felt the urge to open her eyes but she still kept it shut because of Eiravyn warning, but she could feel that they were not walking on land and instead it felt like they were floating in the air. She could not help it anymore as in the next seconds Serena opened her eyes out of curiosity as she looked down at the ground, she saw that they were really flying in the air, Serena couldn’t hold the yelp that tore out of her lips,
"Ahhh!" Serena yelped loudly, then she heard Eiravyn’s low voice.
"I told you to keep your eyes closed Kitten, now, you must not look down." Eiravyn warned her again.
This time Serena listened to his warning as she held onto Eiravyn’s clothes tightly, clinging desperately to him as she felt scared for her life. The thrill of flying in the air was forgotten and replaced with a silent fear.

~The Dark Shade Kingdom~
The sun was rising from the east when Eiravyn and Serena appeared out of thin air, almost startling the knight, who happened to be present at the territory of the vampire kingdom while waiting for his king return, he had gotten a message from his king, informing him to bring a car to this spot. He’d wondered why his king would need something as such when he can directly teleport himself to his private chamber, but when he saw the young girl standing beside his king, he didn’t have to ask further.
The cold-looking knight bowed deep to his king,
"Welcome back, your majesty." Celrean greeted him with his head bowed deeply as a form of respect for his king
Eiravyn merely hummed, still looking at Serena, as he asked his military general, "did you pack what I asked you to pack?" Eiravyn asked, as he moved to remove the winter coat from Serena,
"You don’t need this anymore kitten, I only wanted you to put this on because of the wind as you might feel cold." Eiravyn said, his tone gentle when he spoke to the girl.
Celrean watched all this confused wondering who the girl was? Before he answered his king earlier question,
"Yes your majesty, the food is well packed and is in the back seat of the car."
Eiravyn hummed again lazily, as he helped Serena remove the coat from her, only to reveal a bright yellow sport bra, with a black long trouser. She looked beautiful in everything, especially when she wore nothing. Eiravyn muttered to himself, as he licked his lips sexily while looking at his mate pale smooth skin.
