“Are you sure?” I kept my words to a whisper
“Yes, now we will have to play it cool”
“What do you mean?”
“We will need to act like we are a couple”. He keeps his voice low as his speaks, almost a whisper and I wondered how strong the vampires hearing was and if it was like wolves
“Do you think they are here for me?”
Christian shrugs his shoulders, “They might just be scoping out the place for their next meal”
I shuddered at the idea and then remembered that I had actually enjoyed drinking blood but I was grateful I wasn’t hunting for it.
Grabbing Christians arm, I smile and tell him to lead the way and try not to look in the direction Christian had. I don’t know how convincing my acting would be, but I was certainly going to try my best.
Christian walks us inside the building and we take a seat, Christian sits opposite me in the large booth and
This was not what I had planned when Christian promised me a normal day. Matthew drops my hand, whilst the other two vampires come towards us. Christian leaves his seat and shoves Matthew out of the way, putting himself between us.“Matthew, you are being stupid, have you seen my mate, she is tiny”“Christian, step out of the way, she is a danger to us all”I watch as Matthews fangs extend along with those of his two men, their eyes firmly on Christian and I“Christian, I felt it, the dark power she holds, the power that only a Royal could hold”“I’m not….”, But Matthew cuts me off, cursing Christian for hiding my truth.“Matthew, stand down”. Christian’s eyes start turning black and I knew he was close to shifting, what was strange was how the people in the busy restaurant had now turned to face the commotion and yet they still remained silent.“What
As we arrive at the gates of Crescent pack, Daryl was already waiting for us along with Cole and Jordan. I climb out the car and he immediately runs his eyes over me wearing Christians jacket, all the way down to my bare legs.“Would you rather I left her naked?” Christians comment was snarky and I knew what he was trying to say, he was doing me a favour.“Inside” is all Daryl says and walks me to the packhouse. I couldn’t tell if he was annoyed or angry with me but he wasn’t willing to talk whilst we were outside. Some of the pack members were hovering around and giving us strange looks, well they were probably looking at me wearing just a jacket that barely covered my ass or maybe they were looking at the scars that littered my legs.Christian follows us and as we walk up into the packhouse, he pauses but Daryl tells him to come inside. We walk in silence to Daryl’s office and once inside he locks the door. “What
It was a long night and no I don’t mean sex, we spent the night talking, mostly about us, about the shit that was going on but I still didn’t tell him that I could hear Reaper, I think right now, it would just be too much for him to know that I could hear my monster and that yes in fact we did actually mind control the humans as well as mess with the footage, which I still dont understand how we did that.Just as I was finally dropping off to sleep, Daryl turns my face to his, I thought he was going to kiss me but instead he asks me why I like being around Christian so much, I could tell the truth, or I could lie, I choose to do both and tell him that Christian listens to me and doesn’t try to shut me up when I need to speak but I fail to admit that I actually really liked Christian as more than a friend.“I am sorry Ash, I should have never doubted you” and he gently kisses me on the lips, he doesn’t try anything else and the tingly
The thought of drinking blood again had my emotions mixed with excitement and disgust, I had grown up living a lie, being denied what I needed to let my monster, how much had Maddox really known about me. Did he know that keeping me away from everything would keep me subdued, until recently I had never felt anything so dark.Probably, he was an asshole Ashley and if I wasn’t subdued, there was no way he would have been alive.I feel my body being lowered until it met something soft and firm “Just let her sleep, she most likely needs it after hardly sleeping last night”“You know”“Of course I know, she is my mate. She was tossing and turning all night. She still lives with what Maddox and Hayden did to her. I don’t think she will ever move on” I hear him sigh as he tucks a strand of hair behind my ear “I hoped that after Hayden’s death she would settle but with everything going on, she s
He picks up one of the prisoners and sinks his teeth into the skin easily, the blood oozing out the sides of his mouth, the sweetness in the air which was making my stomach do backflips, when Christian pauses and turns back to me, his lips are stained with blood, his eyes a deep black “We don’t have long” but I was frozen to the spot, even Reaper was speechless but my teeth started growing, I don’t know if it was because I could smell the blood or because I was becoming desperate for the crimson liquid.I kneel down next to the other man, the one who Christian had already cut for me, being so close to the taste of blood was mesmerising and I could hear the steady rhythm of his heartbeat, shooting one final glance at Christian, I sink my teeth into the neck of the man, letting the blood flow freely down my throat, the strength it gave me was incredible and i hold him tight to my mouth sucking in as much as I could, the feeling of power running through m
I wait for ten minutes before leaving the room, I needed to make sure he was busy in the shower. I was grateful that he was respecting me for saying no but i just didnt feel safe around him anymore and I couldn't put my finger on why.Grabbing my coat, I slip out the room, listening and smelling for anyone around but thankfully there was no one. I make towards the front door only for Christian to ask me where I was going. When I turn to face him, he takes one look at my tear stained face and rushes towards me, wrapping his arms around me, pulling me against his sweat soaked body.“Ash, what happened?”I shake my head, I couldn't explain it even if I tried. I need to be alone, just me and Reaper“Reaper?”“My monster” I could barely get the words out “I don’t, I cant stay here with him”“Where are you going to go?” When I don’t answer, he tells me no
Calli comes and grabs my arm, her blonde hair coming loose from its ponytail. She tucks it back with her free hand whilst pulling on me, stopping me from going after Daryl.“Men” she rolls her eyes which makes me smile, in a way, she reminded me of Jordan who also didn’t give a shit about men or their rank, just look at Cole. “Just ignore him Ashley, I know he is your mate, but you have a right to independency and you need to know how to protect yourself.She pulls me back to the other women and as she drops my arm and turns away I see a blue mark on her shoulder, similar to my crescent, only hers was almost a star shape, the other girls have one too but in different places, one had it on their stomach, wait, it couldn't be possible could it, were they all Royals here?I needed to find Christian, my brain felt like it was being twisted, he had said that we were a different blood line, is that why they had a star mark rather than a crescen
She steps out into the clearing and faces me, her hair flowing down her body, a long purple dress hugging her figure, her eyes a dazzling shade of purple, she was in her element, this is something she had been planning for some time.“Oh Ashley, poor little Ashley” I stand there alone, facing the very bitch that had tried to kill meI say nothing as I try to focus on Reaper, the electric running through us was painful but I couldn’t lose her, I had only just found my other half, I had only just figured out who I was.“Where is Christian?”“Occupied” she doesn’t expand any further but I wanted to know what she had done to him“Where is he?” I snarl at her and she just laughs. If I ever get out of here, she will pay for what she has doneI fight against the electrical current, telling Reaper now was the time to come out but she was silent and unresponsive“How are you doi
