BLUE HOUR: The Primes

ᵗʰᵉ ᶜᵃᵘˢᵉ

"You finally got the dark beings altogether in one place. What's keeping you from bringing the light servers to meet them?" Jessi asked as she pets the fiery red phoenix on her left lap. The dragon egg comfortably sat on the other.

"I can't let them see those two for now. There are still many secrets about each other that they must learn before we introduce them!" Samuel replied, busily cutting fresh meat into small pieces for the phoenix.

"Agreed. So I'll take it that you'll be more busy than usual." Jessi said and looks at Samuel with concern.

"Indeed. Especially now that Trevor knows that he's a mate to Yalex." Samuel huffs as he nods.

"What!!? That's fu**ing tragic!!!" Jessi exclaimed upon hearing his statement. The phoenix flinched at her sudden movement and flew to Samuel's shoulder.

"You said Trevor came here to look for a girl! Not to be a demon's mate!" She said with pure disbelief.

"Jessi. I'm afraid that's not the only tragic truth within them!" Samuel said and settled the meat on the phoenix's nest where it quickly flew to eat its meal.

"That's fu**ing bullsh*t!!! You let that happen on purpose didn't you!?" Jessi snapped at him and Samuel quickly raised his brow and looked at her offended.

"Hey! I never tampered on their future. The only thing I'm doing is to keep them from being dead before the real mission begins! Those things are all happening for a reason!" Samuel sternly explained.

Jessi rested her head on her palms with a sigh. Watching Samuel for his yet another new episode of his long 'defending himself' thingy.

"If I had my way! I would've adopted Blue from his family knowing how terrible his life will be with them! If I tampered with the future, that egg would've hatched by now since you are so sick of staring at an egg all day!"

"Why are you laughing?!" Samuel snapped at Jessi while his brows perks in annoyance by watching the woman giggling to herself.

"Your ears are so red! You talk too much when I don't even need to hear it!" She said and stood up from her favorite couch and took the egg with her to her room. Still laughing.

Samuel huffed and grunted. His gaze fell to the phoenix who was staring at him with its head tilted to a side. It just finished its meal and is ready to go to sleep.

"What!? I was just trying to explain myself!" Samuel exclaimed and carefully carried the phoenix and its nest to his room where a ring of fire awaits it.

The next day. Samuel woke up early as usual and went to school. Enough time to finish every task as the school's student president council.

After finishing the morning roll call. He went to the same building where Rhian and Vladimir usually hang out together. Although this time, it won't be just the two of them now. Blue will definitely be there.

"Well? How are you?" Samuel asked Blue who had kept his head lowered. Samuel knew the boy will keep the habit for a while since he can still hardly trust everyone around him after all that happened.

"I-I'm good. T-thank you for helping me yesterday..." the boy said and threw the winter prince a brief glance.

Samuel lightly chuckled and turned to Vladimir with a teasing look.

"Stop looking at me like that! I know exactly what you're gonna say!" The vampire snapped and rolled his eyes at Samuel.

"I'm not gonna forbid you to stay with Rhian or whatever it is you think. You've been together longer than I knew her so you would know her better. Though I must warn you to keep a safe distance now that things are changing." He warned and the three gave him a confusing look.
