JACE'S POV
"Do you see it too ? He's got his evil mode on, he never has his evil mode on, this is going to be fun " Micheal almost squeals to Alec .
"I don't have a mode.. because I am not a damn game." I remind him.
" Nah bruh , you're like if Mario had unlimited lives "
I sighed knowing he was never going to change. At least someone is being cheery, Alec is being quiet and I, well I just feel like I might burst a vein. That's pretty ironic since we are going to a castle full of vampires.
Imagine having Dracula for a name. His mother must've hated him a lot to name him that. I don't get how the hell he has a daughter? Isn't he like more than a couple centuries old and well .. dead ? . His daughter is 17, I don't even want to know how that happened. Probably some twilight shit. Doesn't make me less confused.
Maybe his daughter is adopted ? I didn't know vampires could procreate .
On the way to the creep's castle there were endless trees, this could have been the perfect spot for our pack . It's deep into the forest , secluded from society . There wouldn't have even been an issue of human trespassers . It's hard to go unnoticed with all the fighting , training and shifting .
Ah humans . Though they may be weak physically , they more than make up for it with their intellect . Even a top warrior can't combat against a machine gun that shoots silver bullets.
I smirked to myself, we were 2 minutes away from reaching his place.
"What are you smirking at?" Michael asked.
"What can I say, the thought of you in a dress is really funny."
"A. you are hurting my manly feelings and B. why are you having thoughts of me in a dress ? Are you feeling lonely ? " Michael said his stifling his laughter .
"Loneliness does hit hard whenever you're around me" I told him.
He raised one eyebrow. "Really?"
"Yes . You are pretty annoying" I laughed at his expression.
"Then it's a miracle you can withstand your own company." He rolled his eyes until I could see nothing but the white sclera . I brought my attention back to the road .
We could've shifted and ran too but I doubt it would've been as convenient . Fatigue would play a role and moreover any vampires scouting the woods could spot us easily in our huge wolf forms .
And most importantly . How would we carry huge cooler ?
"Why did you let him sit in the front Alec? " I asked Alec.
"Because apparently he called 'dibs' on the front seat so he could enjoy the view better." Alec said his blank expression changing to a small smile. I'm sure Alec wasn't always like this , but he has been since the day I met him . I just assume that Alec feels things more deeply than others . It's both a blessing and a curse , I suppose . Out of the three of us , he was the one most traumatized since the pack incident .
Probably because of Mia . It must have brought back memories he didn't want to remember . That's a story for another time though.
He'll make it . That's all that matters.
I stop the car a kilometer away from the castle so they wouldn't hear the engine . It was getting darker by the second so all the usual noises were dying down . At most we could hear a few crickets chirping .
We were outside our car and walking towards the castle when we saw a vampire being dragged out screaming .
"I WILL GET BACK AT YOU FOR THAT!! SHE WILL BE MINE SOON ENOUGH " He screams .
Michael's face looked like a question mark .
" Are we late for the party or something ? " He whispers .
" Shh " I point to the map . We need to focus and work swiftly . Get in and get out without getting noticed . This is crucial to our plan to guarantee their safety ..
My wolf growled inwardly.
'What's wrong ? Do you sense danger ? ' I ask him as I quickly scan the forest behind me and the castle in front . It seems to be clear .
' No . Not danger . '
' Then shut up and let me focus . ' Having two voices in your head is bad enough but he tends to pop up at the worst possible times .
'I don't know just hurry up and go to the castle, I feel restless'
He is hopeless .
" Now remember , there's only 2 scouts at the back entrance . We need to get there first . Snap their neck before they get a chance to speak or even notice us . Alright ? The back entrance will lead to stairs . Second floor , third door on the left wing . That's where she'll be . Alec will stay outside the wing close to the stairs and mind link us if someone comes up . You and I will focus on kidnapping the kid and getting out the same way we came in . " I point at Michael during the last part .
We get going and sneak around the castle looking for the back entrance .
" This is it . " Alec whispers .
At a distance there was a gate with 2 guards standing in front of it . We stick close to the wall and walk with utmost delicacy . When we face them , we have to act quick . If they call for help then our plan is as good as dead . I'm sure at least a 100 vampires live in this castle alone .
I wonder .. If this plan goes downhill . Can I convince Michael and Alec to leave me here ? Michael wouldn't listen since he doesn't have a brain .
But perhaps I can convince Alec ..
" Alec . Listen .. I should've told you this before . If this doesn't work out . You two should leave and get away as fast as you can . " I look at him , waiting for his response .
" I refuse "
I would face palm myself if it wasn't for the noise that would create .
" I command you to leave if things go sideways " I let my eyes turn black to let him know it's an alpha's order .
You can't disobey your alpha's order . It's almost impossible .
JACE's POV" Why Jace ? A beta is always supposed to be at his Alpha's side . Just let me do my job . " Alec reasons , but he knows when the time comes , he can't go against my command and he will have to leave eventually .I roll my eyes .Alec knows the reason well enough without me having to explain it . I'm not going to display my affection and ruin my reputation here . So the best thing to do is to remain absolutely silent and carry through with the plan .Absolutely sil-*Grunt*I glare at Michael , the source of the noise ." What ? The cooler is heavy ! Heads are heavy . " He yells in a whispered tone .I look at the guards on the other side of the wall . It seemed that they noticed the noise as well and were coming our way . I motion Alec to follow me and silence them before it's too late .We stick to the wall like glue and wait for them to approach us . When they're close enough that we can re
ALEXIS'S POVI heard a loud growl outside my door . I swear I could even hear bones cracking . What is going on ?Suddenly the door slams open and a bulky man , seemingly in his 20's , barges in . But what really caught my eye was the fact that his eyes were quite dark and black . He looked threatening . This is bad .I push Aeron off to the other side of the bed and sit up in an instant ." Who are you ? " I ask nervously .All I have to do is scream and a hundred vampires would be on their way to slaughter him . Is it only him ? I let my gaze focus beyond him and see a shadow right beside the door . So there's another one . Two .
ALEXIS'S POV I stuttered a bit before I replied because I really am not sure that I heard him right. "I'm sorry, you're what?" I asked him. I have good hearing so I know I heard him right, I just needed to make sure that he was insane. I figured as much you know . Obviously I'd have to go with them . Having him admit it just made me realise it thoroughly . "Well, I am going to kidnap you." He said casually with that serious look in his heavenly eyes. It seems that they aren't black after all ? They are actually a deep sea blue . That's weird . I was sure that the last time I noticed them they were pitch black like a night sky . Can he change his eye color or something ? That is actually quite intriguing. But reality hit me like a brick. Did he just say he was going to kidnap me? Yes he did. "So you are a dick, just like Cray." Those words seemed to
JACE I was desperately waiting for her reaction . Alec puts in the keys and starts the car heading out fast . There may be a few scouts following us . It's highly unlikely but possible that they went to her room , figured out she was gone and are now on the lookout . We should hurry out as soon as we can and leave for our destination . For now we'll drive for an hour and stay at a motel that is quite low key . We don't want to bring any sort of attention to ourselves . If Dracula finds out that we took her daughter , he'll be keeping a check on every nearby rest place for her . " Well ? " I ask . Perhaps she doesn't know what mates are , she isn't responding . She stuttered a bit , she looked so cute when she did. "Um you're kidding me right?" She asked me. "OUCH that has got to hurt." Michael snickered
JACE's POVHer hair is beautiful . It looks so silky and brown , I suddenly have an urge to pat her head but I stop myself . I think girls don't like people touching their hair . Do they ?I don't want to risk it so I'll keep my hands to myself .She's keeping me so distracted. Why does she have to bite her lip a lot? It keeps making me think about them. I want her closer to me.'Don't worry she will be close enough tonight..' Cade said.Wolf spirits like these are the reason us werewolves have a bad reputation .'That was all you . I had nothing to do with it. If you weren't having weird thoughts in the first place , I wouldn't have commented . ' He mocks .My eyebrow twitches with annoyance .' Cade will you just shut the fuck up ? You don't have to comment on every single thing . ' I mentally growl at him .' That's kind of selfish . 'I face palm , smacking myself i
Alexis I was breathing heavily. Could I do this? Could I really resist kissing him? I really doubt it, my head is telling me that the mate bond is real. I won't be able to resist . This whole time I was trying my best to keep my cool and not be affected by every little thing he does . But the truth is .. every single time he calls me 'love' , It gives me butterflies . And when he tries to be nice , it's hard for me not to think about it . It's hard for me not to think about giving this a chance . I can't give it a chance can I ? I don't know anything about him . He said that he was going to kill me and that's why he kidnapped me . And now he tells me that I'm his mate and wants me to play stupid games to see who wins ? 2 can play . My eyes trailed to his chest and roamed around until there was nothing left to see. He smirked when he saw me checking him out. Shit! Why do I always have to do that? I b
Alexis"What did my father do Jace? Tell me.." It was the second time I asked him and he still looked hesitant to reply. But I could see a thought cross his mind before he finally made up his mind to tell me.I know that by no means is my father an innocent person . He's a vampire after all . All vampires have done something sinful one time or another . Usually it's not being able to control their thirst which results in taking the life of a human . I shiver . I don't know how many human lives dad has took . Did he kill someone close to Jace ? Is that why Jace is so angry at him ? Is that why he kidnapped me and planned to kill me ?" Your father killed your mother " Jace says softly as if he's afraid the news will shatter me . Well he's not wrong . But how do I know he's telling the truth ?Your father killed your mother. Killed your mother.All I co
ALEXISAfter finishing the movie , Michael and Alec go back to their own rooms and we are left alone together again . I can't help but fidget with my fingers , twirling them around each other , occasionally picking on the skin on the side of the nails .I didn't feel nervous when we came into the room . So why am I feeling nervous now . It's not like we will do anything . We'll just sleep .I look around and realize something . There's actually only one bed here . Damn it . Fate was not on my side at all ." Why is there only one bed ? " I asked , possibly coming off as annoyed ." Why not ? You don't want to sleep with me ? " He asks . I'm sure he meant it in a not so innocent way but I couldn't let him on that I got it ." How did you figure that out ? You have more brain cells than I gave you credit for " I smile .He looked a bit down . Did I hurt his ego ?" Were you serious ? About not caring , whatever I do is fine
