Chapter 18
Vince slam into the room as Gwen jumped in fright. " they are all idiots. "
" to me, you are the idiot for scaring me like that. " Gwen said with a little bite to her tone. Vince stopped his pacing as he looked at his mate then went to her side.
" I am sorry. " Vince said as he hugged her and felt his anger diminishing.
" what happened. " Gwen asked making her voice to go soft so as to soothe Vince mood, it worked as Vince angry continued to reduced.
" they refuse to work together. " Vince said getting angry all over again. " you think that they will use their head but no. They are smart enough to know that somebody want us to go to war yet they are not smart enough to put aside their differences to work together. "
"it could be that they don't want to seem weak to their people. " Gwen said as she thought about reasons why theu didn't want to work together.
" what is the primordials excuse. " Vince snorted.
" the primordials also voted against. " Gwen asked in surprise.
" yes. Only me, Jessica, the beta and Eloise voted to work together. Others voted against. " Vince explains.
" I'm sorry. I know how much you wanted it to work. " Gwen said as she tightens her arms around her mate offering comfort the only way she can.
" I just want to protect vampires, what they don't seem to realise is that it will take extra time to work apart and I want to take care if this as quickly as possible so that less damage might be done. It seems like it might not be possible. " Vince said with a sigh.
" everything will work out well. " Gwen said after a while of silence.
" and how do you know that. " Vince asked.
" I don't and don't expect me to say something like I can feel it. The only reason why said it was because it is the only thing to say in situations like this. Or so it is in the movies. " Gwen said with a shrug as Vince cracked a smile.
" how did I ever survive before you came into my life. " Vince asked with an enamored look on his face.
" I have no idea but I am glad you entered mine. " Gwen said with a soft look on her face.
Vince moved to kiss Gwen when Jessica push open the door without knocking. " ew, gross stop doing that. " Jessica said with it then a disgusted look on her face.
" she is my m... " Vince started
" yeah, yeah. I get it but that does not mean that I have to see it. " Jessica said.
" this is our... " Vincent started again only to be cut short by Jessica.
" and would it kill you if you don't maul her every five seconds. " Jessica admonished
" we haven't even d... " Vince said but Jessica cuts him short. Again.
" who is going to believe that. Certainly not me. "Jessica snorted as she dragged Gwen out of Vince hand.
" I know that you are angry but you need to go and bid the rest bye because we don't want a disconnection especially in this shaky time. "
" but... " Vince started.
"no, Gwen and I will arrange and I will stay at your home so you better reduce the PDA. " Jessica said as she shove Vince out of the room.
Gwen couldn't hold it in anymore, she started laughing uncontrollably. " you are wicked. "
Jessica was a clear picture of innocence. " I have no idea, what you are talking about. "
" oh you do but you will never admit it. "
" why will I do something to implicate myself. " Jessica said with a roll of her eyes.
" you just did. " Gwen said as she folded her hands.
" actually I have not a single clue what you are trying to say. " Jessica said as she grins at Gwen who grins back at her.

A month later, Gwen was not smiling as she waited for Vincent to arrive at night. She couldn't believe that it took her a month before she could see what Vince was doing and she would not have know if Jessica hadn't decided that they should rearrange Vince study to play a trick on him.
** earlier that day **
" I shouldn't be doing this. " Gwen said as she gnaw at her lower lips.
" and why do you say so. " Jessica asked with raised eyebrows as she drags Gwen to Vince study.
" because, it will make him angry. I am not suppose to vex my mate " when Jessica just stared at her she added. " deliberately. " Jessica continued to stare at her and she conceded. " not when I can't help myself. Come on you know how easy it is for him to get riled and it is fun at times. Especially the sex afterwards. "
Jessica pales. " please stop talking or I am going to be sick. "
" I don't really know why you get sick anytime I talk about Vince. He is hot, you talk to me about other men and they are not half as handsome as Vince. " Gwen argues as Jessica shook her head.
" stop talking about my brother in a romantic way. "
" or what. " Gwen challenges.
Jessica look straight at Gwen and reply. " or I will barf my meal will over your pretty gown which you refuse to share with me. "
" okay. Warning noted. No more talking about Vincent. " Gwen said as she shifted away from Jessica for good measure.
" okay, let us rearrange this room. "
" Vince won't like this. " Gwen mentions
" he might not but you will get the satisfaction of seeing his eyes twitch. " Jessica cajoled as Gwen smiled.
" you are right, let's do this. " Gwen said with a smile. And with that they went off, rearranging the room
Until Jessica shifted his desk and saw a box which looked important.
" what is that. " Gwen asked as she moves closer to Jessica when she saw a box in her hand and an unknown look on her face.
Jessica snapped out of whatever trance she was in. " nothing
She said as she try to dismiss it but Gwen was having none of that. She took the box from Jessica and tried to open it when she discovered that her blood refuse to open it, she knew that only a primordial can open it so she gave it to Jessica. " open it. "
Jessica shook her head. " it is a secret box for a reason dearest. Whatever that is meant to be inside is not suppose to reached unless something happened to Vincent. "
Gwen looked shocked. " if anything happen to him. As his mate I should be able to access everything but now, I can't help but feel more curious. Please open it. " Gwenn begged Jessica and when Jessica finally gave in and opened the box. It contents managed to scare Gwen. It also made her very angry.
