Well, that was unexpected. I had only weakened to this point one time before, and it was my second fight against a forbidden; nearly cost me my life. Normally, the injections lasted longer than this. Why were they being so ineffective as of late? “Katya, hey, you okay?” Killian asked kneeling on one knee next to me. “Um, yeah,” I answer, attempting to get up, but my legs and feet had gone numb. Shit. “Then why are you on the floor?” Killian says, really showing concern. “Do me a favor, and push the P1 button when you get out on the fifteenth floor please,” I say moving my fingers to keep them from going numb. “When I get out on the fifteenth floor?” Killian scoffs, “And you’re just going to drag yourself around on the floor like a dog hit by a car?” “No, well not exactly,” I say, trying to think of a game plan. “Either, you let me help you, or we can ride up and down this bitch all night,” Killian says, sitting down next to me. I roll my eyes. “I was worried you were going to
I walked out into my living room to Markus and Killian eating my chips, and a sandwich that looked like it came out of a cartoon. “You’re pretty well stocked for a vamp.” Markus states taking a bite out of his sandwich. “I do eat food,” I answer rolling my eyes. “Wait, do most eat food,” Killian asks, looking confused. “Most don’t but can, I however do need it to survive,” I say walking over and grabbing a yogurt from the fridge. “Really?” Markus asks, surprised. “Okay guys, like seriously did you like never take a minute to look or understand vampires, oh wait nope vampires don’t mean shit right?” I say irritated. “Look, Katya, no we didn’t because we were raised to believe the vampire was less than, like most of our brother and sisters. We are curious, not because we are rude, but because we want a better understanding. Markus, and I, myself are not necessarily cold-hearted, and are open to change,” Killian states leaning on my island, “we are learning if you will, and unders
“You okay?” Markus asked as we were driving home the next day. “Yeah man, why?” I ask. “I’ve never seen you stay under the same roof as a woman, save for your sister,” He shivers, he felt the same as I about Sarai, “and not act on it.” “She’s different,” I answer. “Good different, or bad different?” Markus looks at my raising an eyebrow. “I don’t know man, different.” I laugh. “Ah, good different. I don’t judge, she’s interesting for sure.” Markus says. “So, you think it was Grunt that slashed your tires?” I ask changing the subject. “Yeah, I think it was that bitch, but nice try in changing the subject.” Markus laughed. “What? I was talking about your car.” I laugh. When we got to the house Amber was waiting, very upset. “What Amber?” I ask getting out of the car, and walking towards her. “What’s wrong?” “I heard through the grapevine that you stayed at the abomination’s place last night. Did you have fun?” She answered standing, crossing her arms. “Um, I’ll talk to you
I sat on the bar looking at every single vampire on the main floor, staring back at me. “Okay guys, thanks for coming, so I’m letting you all know what I know okay. There’s something going on and our people are going missing along with the werewolves. I need you all to be aware of your surroundings at all times, when I find more information out I’ll let you know, just be careful.” I say, hearing the whispers startup. “Where are they going?” Velcon, an older vampire asked concern etching on his face.“We don’t know.” I hated not having answers but they deserved to know what was going on. “So, what are we supposed to do about all of this?” Luscious, another vampire asks. “You wait for us to figure it out,” Killian said walking in from the double doors that led to the club. “Wait for a wolf, to help the vamp?” Luscious laughed. “It’s always been us serving you, why would it change?” Luscious held contempt for the werewolves and was the first to fight one if anything negative was ev
“I’ve been called many things, Killian, never special.” She scoffed. I had meant it though. She was special. She was like I had very much told Markus earlier, different. “It’s true,” I said shrugging and leaning back. She snorted, “Okay yeah. You bump your head before coming here?” She stood up quickly. “Now, is that all? I have to go.” “Where are you going?” I ask. “None of your damn business.” She says walking towards her room. Was she going to go see someone? Wait, why did I feel it was my business? “Katya,” I say, getting up and following her. “Hold up, I’m sorry I just want to know if it had to do with something I could help with.” I crashed into her room trying to stop her and caught her in her bra and lace underwear. Holy shit, she was gorgeous. “Are you kidding me?” She yelps, holding her t-shirt in front of her body. “Oh shit, I’m sorry,” I say turning around so quick I bumped into the door jam. I had fucked several women in my twenty-five years of life and never act
I enjoyed the silence that the night held. As a child, it would scare me, but as an adult, nothing in this darkness scared me. I could smell the rancid smell that the forbidden left behind. It smelt of sewer and death. This particular forbidden had been spotted by the night patrol for two days in a row, while it didn’t attack it sat and watched. It waited. This for a forbidden was odd, to say the least. Forbidden normally, so desperate in their need to return to their pack rushed most fences, and pack members. No one could figure out what they hoped to gain with re-entering, but it was something that was done over and over again. Until now. I felt eyes on me. I couldn’t pinpoint where exactly the eyes were at the moment, but they were there watching. This was different. I stood, dusting my jeans off; entering the field. “Come, brother or sister, let us reminisce, and enjoy some food and laughter,” I said, stopping and turning myself in a circle. I had never spoken to lure a forbidde
I had just finished putting my sweats on and was looking at the cuts I had gotten during the fight in the mirror when my bedroom door flung open. Katya stomped into the room slamming the door behind her, she was pissed. Oh was she pissed. She didn’t slow down she walked straight up to me and smacked me across the face. I had been in so many fights growing up, but this hit stung me to my core. “Are you dumb, or are you stupid?” She yelled. “Neither,” I answered, trying to contain my anger. “Well, that was a fine display of both of those things, Killian.” “I helped you, why are you mad?” “Because Killian, because you are an Alpha, did you for a minute think about what would happen to your pack if you died?” “As a matter of fact, it hadn’t crossed my mind,” I say leaning against the wall. “Does it ever cross your mind, what would happen to the vampires in your building if you lost?” “No, because I have measures in place, you dumbass.” She yelled. “Well, I’ll get measures in place
Two weeks had passed since Killian and I had argued. Well, technically I argued Killian listened to me argue. I wasn’t proud about hitting him, but he refused to listen; it scared me that he would put himself in danger for me. I didn’t want that. I was happy alone; wasn’t I? No, I was happy. I walked out of my bedroom to Luscious nervously waiting for me in my living room. “Knock much?” I ask, giving him a smile. “No door.” He answers, gesturing to the elevator. I laugh. “Good point. What’s up?” “So, um, I’ve been talking to everyone, and, um” he clears his throat rubbing the back of his neck, “we want you to be our person in charge. Would it be an Alpha?” “Why me?” I ask, I had figured it was coming. “You brought us together, who better to lead us?” “You?” I answered hopefully, making him laugh. “So when do we vow our allegiance, and kneel by our swords.” I roll my eyes. “I’m not your queen, dummy,” I say. “No? You’ve been our savior for quite some time, Katya. T
