My neck pricked with sensation and I glanced around, my body curling with need.He was here.Jacob was here.The weird vampire got close to me again, his breath pricking my skin in irritation.Where the heck was Sacha and Kane?"I can make it good for you", the vamp whispered in my ear again, his body sandwiched against mine on the packed dance floor."I heard girls like you like our type", his eyes glinted and he grinned, his fangs flashing.I needed to find Sydney or Claude, this guy was giving me all kinds of goosebumps."Fuck, you like it when a guy goes rough on you, yeah?" His words slurred as his hands came around my waist, trying to crush my body to his.I was going to sucker punch this fag, I decided as his breath puffed in my face. "I don't like vamps like you", I said sternly, pushing myself away from him as another body bumped into me and pushed me back into his arms.The grin gracing his lips started irking me."I promise I'll make it better than any dick that's ever fuc
Michael grinned, his lips curling handsomely."What are you doing at a vamp sex club?", I asked, tilting my head as I watched him warily.A human was only allowed into the club on two conditions. As a feeder or as an escort.Which was he?"I was just about to ask you that", Michael chuckled, his eyes glancing around nervously.Strange.What was he hiding?"You're a vamp", he said it like he was just recalling that fact and he needed to repeat it to his subconscious.Something was off about the whole situation.He seemed to recover himself as he said, "Let me get you a drink".I smiled, trying to bury the awkward tension that was crackling in the air."Of course".With that, Michael led me to the bar I had just vacated, setting out a stool for me to sit when we got there.The speakers were pounding hard with music but I could still hear even the littlest of whispers. The feeling was surreal."Talk to me", Michael engaged after ordering a glass of margarita for me and a gin and tonic f
"What do you mean she's missing?", I thundered into the phone, unable to keep off my emotions. My heart was beating at an uncontrollable pace.And I realized then that I had fallen.Fuck that it took her going missing for me to know."You've fed from her before. I'm sure you can trace her".That's right. No good being panicked.I took a deep breath and tried to find her presence amongst the multitude of vampires in the city.Nothing.I tried again and still nothing."I can't", I breathed into the phone, my tone suddenly sounding tired as I looked up to see Claude walking up to me.His wounds had closed up a bit and his breathing was now normal. He looked at me, bewildered. "How can't you trace her?"I shook my head in response, as dazed as he was.I tried for the third time and it was like she had vanished from Earth's surface.A dry laugh coming from the beaten up vamp turned my gaze to him. The rabid was smiling, his fangs overlapping his lips."The pretty chit has probably gotten
I stared up at him, perplexed.The boss?This wasn't a petty jealousy scheme?"The boss?", I croaked out.Taenar grinned, "She talks". "Yes, the boss, sweetheart"."Eat up. It's not poisoned", he said, before adding. "I think".I glared and he let out a throaty chuckle.What was going on now?"Who is your boss?" I cleared my throat, sitting out of the bed. "What do you want from me?""All will be explained in time", his eyes glinted in an eerie way that sent goosebumps popping up my skin."Fuck this shit". I grew livid. I was tired of everyone keeping me in the dark and acting all creepy and mysterious. I wanted to know why I was here.He had talked about Jacob. Did he kidnap me for some kind of ransom from him?Pfft, I laughed in my head, deciding to warn them of the inevitable"Jacob won't come for me, if that's what you're hoping for".Taenar stared at me, his scary blank eyes increasing the number of goosebumps popping up in my skin. "It would be good if he doesn't come". "Good f
Shivers ran through my spine as a long sigh emanating from Taenar by my side cut in."You and your theatrics", I caught Taenar's eyeroll as my gaze snapped to his.I'm sure my face was a mix of the turmultous confusion I felt.What was going on?"We will wait until mother gets back and you'll shut up while we do that. Okay?".Was that animosity I sensed between the two of them?If they shared the same mother, did that mean they were brothers?I glanced subtly between the two of them. Still trying to figure out exactly what they wanted with me.A hand touched my arm and it took everything in me not to scream my ears out.I thought it had been the half rotting man.Taenar's eyebrows were arched in question as I looked up at him."Would you like to go back to your room?", He asked after a while of eerie silence which he obviously found amusing.I nodded my head in quick response.I needed to get away from here. I needed to come up with an escape plan.And I most definitely was not going
I yawned, moaning the soft pillow underneath my skin.Wait?My eyes flew open and I realized two things at once.The pillow smelt familiar and I was staring at the maroon painted walls of my room. I sat up almost immediately, my mind fraying at the edges as I took in the room, questions of how I had gotten back here popping in my headMy eyes widened as images from last night flashed in my head. Images of the rotten face dude sneering at me with dead eyes. Goosebumps snuck up my arm and I inwardly shivered.I looked around again, still wondering how I had made it out of that one alive. I sensed Alec's presence before a simple knock sounded on the door.Knowing Alec wasn't like Sydney or Claude. He respected privacy and boundaries unlike the other two.I let out a grainy response, letting him know it was alright to come in.What time was it?, I mused. My eyes quickly going over to the drawn curtains. The fact that I felt sated and satisfied bothered me in the back of my mind. Alon
The meeting ended or it seemed like it had, as Jacob's uncle got up and excused himself. The elder senator followed immediately after, mumbling something under his breath. I felt eyes on me and I looked up at the two men studying me."You must be Dalia", the one with the straight black hair tied behind his head smiled and said. I nodded wearily, wondering what was funny at the moment. The other one had weird eyes. They were mismatched. Something I had not noticed and something I had never seen before."Heard a lot about you. I'm Naveen", the black haired one said and my eyes jumped back to him.So he was the Naveen, Sydney had talked about then. Were these people on beauty steroids? These couldn't possibly be all natural.Then I quickly realized that he had said something along the lines of 'heard a lot about you' and my frown deepened. Who had he heard about me from?Sydney?Claude maybe?I was about asking him when Jacob's velvety voice filled the air. "I'm sure you can resume
Claude knocked on the door. I knew because his lavender sex scent filled the room and he hadn't even entered the room."Come in", I said briskly, wondering if he knew about the order and if that was why he was here.It hadn't been long since I had left the meeting room with my head hung. Jacob hadn't said anything to me.Claude opened the door and stepped in, closing the door softly behind him. I knew from his face that he had been given the order to see me back home."Hey", he said softly, his baby blues kind and not teasing for once."You're here to carry out your order, aren't you?", I asked with a dry laugh, perched on the edge of the bed. "Sydney and I are always on your side, you know?"I smiled, looking up at him. "What changed?""You being very easy to tease", He shrugged lightly, his fangs peaking out at his smile."Have you ever been in love?", I asked as the question popped into my mind.Claude's eyes grew dazed and I knew I had talked him far into his memories."Once", h
