I took bold confident steps into the living room as Lea chased my tail with anticipated steps.
I grabbed a bottle of blood wine and poured into a cup before I chugged it down and poured once more for myself as Lea grabbed the bottle.
"You are not avoiding the subject." Lea said as I sighed and dropped the glass cup heavily.
"I am not avoiding the subject. I just want to drink it away so when I'm sober, seeing Klaus will be nothing but a dream." I replied as Lea sighed.
"So about Klaus' proposal; are you considering marrying him even if it was true?" Lea asked as I ran my hand through my hair.
"Twenty seven years ago Klaus left me standing at the altar because he was supposedly in hell and he waltz back into my life and you expect me to say yes!" I laughed as Lea folded her arms.
"What if Klaus is telling the truth and you will die even though you're an origina

I smiled at the lovely night as I felt the cool breeze touch my skin in this crowded city.Everyone was bustling and hustling, car horns honking and people talking about what they would do when they get home or their night shift activities.I felt whole and complete, filled with a joy I couldn't explain as I thought of that werewolf and his name."Elijah." The name felt so sweet leaving my lips as I hummed.Something about him was different from all the other men I have ever knew. His name felt dainty, sweet in my head like the time I had gone for Antonio Vivaldi four seasons concert in the eighteenth century.Then music had value and taste was exquisite not now everything was a clashing symbol but then again, blood was spilled without shame."Eliza."I paused in my steps when I heard that name from a ghastly voice.I turned around to search out where that voice was coming from but found no source as my heart beat sped up a li

“Are we there yet?” I asked Elijah as he chuckled.“Not yet. We will be very soon.” He said as he held the blindfold tightly to my eyes so I wouldn’t even have a sneak peek to where we were going.I trusted him to be somewhere beautiful as the air I breathed was much clearer and fresher than the stuffy five star restaurant that Klaus took me to have dinner. He succeeded in spoiling my mood and marking that restaurant bad for dinner plans in the aftermath.“Be careful.” Elijah said as he helped me climb a few steps down.“This better be good Elijah or I’m taking your tail as a forgiveness offering.” I said as he laughed.“Of course but I’m a million percent sure you’ll love it.” He said as I smiled before it fell.“Okay, I trust you.” I replied before we got to a spot.I felt the blindfold fall off my

The ride home was quiet but it was a comfortable silence as Elijah pulled back his bike in front of my house. I came down from the bike and handed him the helmet he insisted I wear since it was daytime.“I guess this is goodbye for now.” Elijah said as I nodded.“You can come over when you want a real treat.” I said as I flashed my fangs before he chuckled.“I never knew I could ever be so full in my life.” Elijah said as he patted his stomach as I laughed.“Call me when you get home.” I insisted as I collected my jacket and purse.I pulled my hair behind my ears before I pecked Elijah’s cheek and quickly walked to my house.I turned back to a dumbfounded Elijah who was smiling like he was assuring himself everything that happened was real before he pulled down his helmet shield and drove off.The mo

Lea leaned on the gate as she stared at me in disbelief. I was just happy she wasn’t casting any spell on me to make me obedient but her glare was so much like a father who couldn’t wait to kill any of his daughter’s boyfriend.“Stop staring like that, you are going to scare the pup with those.” I said as I elbowed her elbow.“Maybe I want that.” Lea said as I smiled before I wrapped my hand around her neck.I kissed her cheeks and snuggled her neck as she made a terrible attempt at being angry. She laughed as I laughed before she pushed my head away.“Am I interrupting something ladies?” Elijah asked with a smile on his face.“Nothing at all.” I replied as Lea stared at him in disbelief.“You didn’t say he was handsome apart from being a werewolf.” Lea noted as I covered her mouth.“He can hear you.

“Sorry I’m late.” I apologized as I kissed Elijah’s cheek before he held my hands.“It’s alright. Lea doesn’t seem to like me very much that was why she held you prisoner.” Elijah said as I heaved.“You have no idea but that’s why I love her. She’s the only person who has never left my side even up till this day. Lea’s is the only stability in my long life.” I explained as a soft smile pasted on my lips.Elijah frankly looked jealous but didn’t complain as he nodded before I held his hand.“But there’s no one who has made me interested in them for more than a day and still be a sight for pretty eyes.” I said as I smoldered his cheeks before I kissed the soft flesh.Elijah carried me in his arms as I shrieked before I wrapped my arms around his neck not caring about the humans that were staring at us and whispering at how great we looked together o

The ride home was silent with our hand joined and our cheeks flushed.“Charlie Griffin…” Elijah paused as he licked his lips. “Will you be my girlfriend?”“What?” I asked as I breathed in relief it was not a marriage proposal.“Will you Charlie Griffin take Elijah Wolfe as your loving boyfriend?” Elijah asked as I smiled.“And what if I say no?”“I’ll ask again and again until you say yes. I will chase you to the end of the earth until you say yes.”“Are wolves always this persistent and possessive?” I asked and he nodded.I laughed as I went on my knees before I kissed his lips.“You should have bought a promise ring or something so that my fingers won’t leave empty but yes, I’ll be your saucy girlfriend.” Eli

I was lying on my bed as I stared at the ring Elijah gave me.“Hey Charlie, I have a surprise for you.” Elijah said as I turned back to look at him.“What is it?” I asked.“Give me your hand.” Elijah said and I gave it to him.Elijah slipped a ring as I stared at it in surprise before he raised his.“What are…?”“I just thought your finger was lowly especially after you said I should have proposed with a ring. Do you not like it?” He asked and I chuckled. “What?”“You look like a wet puppy asking for comfort.” I teased as he growled and started barking playfully as he chased me around.I smiled and rolled on my back before I picked up my phone.I’m coming over. Love you. I texted be

“Why is the atmosphere so tense over a dealer?” Brandon asked after I had freshened up at one of their research tents.“Derek is a demon; human but very demon. Even if you threaten him, he won’t give me his blood for free.” I explained.“But you said his family has a generational contract with you.” Elijah said and I nodded.“However, the condition states that I cannot take their blood outside their presence without permission or till the contract ends. It’s a blood covenant and Lea is the caster so it is just as unbreakable as my mother, the only person whose blood can help is my daughter or an infected who survived so I can create a vaccine.” I explained as I breathed softly.“What of your past research?” Brandon asked.“Klaus buried it somewhere and let’s say we’re not all kiss and hug to have it for free. Derek’s demand will be more tolerable
