Sarah's POV~

"What the hell does Derek want with my mate?" Jackson yelled.

"Actually, nothing. He knew that she was your mate, so he told me to protect her until you found each other." Sasha explained.

"He knew she was mate before I did?! How?" He asked quite upset.

"I'm not sure, he never told me, but he did know that Claire was Tyler's mate before either of them knew. He even knows who his mate is, he just chooses to let her mature and have a normal teenage life. I believe he is going for her soon though." Sasha said.

"I seriously need to talk to him." Jackson murmured.

"Sarah, how would you like to go on a trip with me?" Jackson asked me.

"Um, I can't just leave, oh who am I kidding, the only family I have is my brother, who is on the run from you, so why the hell not?" Was my response.

"I'm coming with! Derek would be seriously pissed if I let you out of my sight." Sasha said.

"Okay, both of you go pack. We leave tomorrow." Jackson ordered.

"Where are we going?" I wondered.

"First to my castle to introduce you to my kingdom, then the demon realm to talk to Derek." Jackson explained.

Oh lord, why did I agree to this?

***********************************************************************************************

We were all packed and ready to go, when Jackson arrived in his Jeep.

"Hey princess." He greeted.

"Hey." I replied with a grin.

"Hello to you to mister." Sasha butted in, ruining the moment. I just rolled my eyes and got in the car.

"So how far away is your kingdom?" I asked.

"Um, it's in Italy..." Jackson trailed off.

"Are you kidding me?? I've always wanted to go to Italy!" I exclaimed.

"Good, I was worried you would be mad." Jackson said sheepishly.

"Oh I am, I'm absolutely pissed, but it's fine." I said buckling up.

We spent about an hour in the car, then got on a plane. The plane ride was about 8 hours. I don't know how long the ride actually is from Vermont, so I guessed.

Once we landed in Italy, Jackson's driver took us to his castle.

Jackson's castle is amazing and horrifying all at once. It was a beautiful black brick with silver accents. The whole complex sat on the side of a mountain. There was a lavish garden on the side, all the flowers are either purple, red or black.

"Wow." Was the only thing I could say as I tried to take it all in.

"Do you like it?" Jackson asked nervously.

"Of course, it's amazingly beautiful." I stated.

We went inside while I was still looking at everything. Sasha wasn't as surprised because she grew up in a castle, and well, Jackson lives here.

"Hello sir, welcome home." A well dressed man greeted.

"Hello Robert. Will you please inform my parents of my arrival. Oh, and tell them I brought her." Jackson said with a smirk, looking at me.

"Is this her?" Robert asked nodding in my direction.

"Indeed it is." Jackson confirmed.

"It is lovely to meet you miss." Robert said while bowing.

"It's nice to meet you to." I replied timidly.

"Well, I'll go get your parents." Then he scurried off.

Not even five minutes later, two pairs of footsteps could be heard getting closer.

"Don't be nervous, they'll love you." Jackson assured.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"Because I love you." He replied.

Wait... He loves me?

My fourth chapter in one day! I'm so proud of myself.

What do you guys think so far?
