Disgusting vampire

CHAPTER THREE

ZOEY

I groaned as I felt a sharp pain in my head, and my body ached with tiredness. I forced my eyes open, and I blinked at the unfamiliar room that looked like a kind of prison cell. Fear filled my heart and I sat up. Where am I?

Before I could make sense of anything, I was suddenly pushed back on the bed and a strong hand wrapped around my throat, cutting off my air. I gasped in panic as I struggled to free myself but I couldn’t. 

“W-Who… are you?” I choked out in a very low voice.

My eyes met his and for a second, I noticed how beautiful his eyes were but that didn’t matter, not when they were filled with anger and not when he was squeezing the life out of me.

I could feel that he could end me in a second if he really wanted to and yet, for some reason, he hadn’t.

Was he playing with me? 

“Tell me why I shouldn’t kill you now?” He asked smoothly, “Give me one reason why I shouldn’t end your life, you disgusting vampire.”

Vampire? 

What was he talking about? My head spun as I tried to understand what he was talking about. 

“I’m not a vampire,” I tried to sound calm, even though he was still squeezing the life out of me, making my lungs burn. 

“Don’t you dare lie to me when you’re showing me your nasty fangs,” he frowned and tightened his grip on my neck, making me gasp.

Fangs? I didn’t have fangs. I’m a wolf, that I was sure. To clarify my doubts, I called on Frankie in my head.

“Frankie, what is he talking about? Why do I have fangs?” I asked her, and I could hear how loud my heart was pounding. I waited for Frankie’s response but I didn’t hear from her. Where was she when I needed her the most?

“I’m not a vampire. Let me go and I’ll show you. I promise I’m a wolf like you. I’m from m…,” I stopped myself before I could tell him about my pack because I didn’t want him to go asking about me and I definitely didn’t want Kelvin to know of my whereabouts.

He narrowed his eyes and released his grip just a little bit, “Give me a chance to show you, I’m a wolf.” I tried to convince him.

He finally let go and moved back to give me space. I muttered a thank you and scrambled up to my feet. I wasn’t used to having a wolf and I didn’t know how to shift but I tried to do it. Surprisingly, it didn’t work.

I tried again but nothing was working. What was going on?

“Are you playing with me?” He asked, looking like he was about to lash out at me.

“N..no, I promise, I’m telling the truth. I’m a wolf.” I pleaded with him.

“Then show me!” He yelled and my whole body trembled in response to his anger.

I closed my eyes and tried again. “Frankie please. Please come out,” I pleaded with my wolf but she was as silent as dead.

“How dare you toy with me?!” He growled and he grabbed me by my throat and squeezed hard. “Do you think you can fool me into believing that you’re a wolf? What do you take me for?!” 

I could feel the anger radiate through him and his eyes blazed with fury. I swallowed hard as I thought about what he was going to do to me. I couldn’t understand why my wolf refused to show up.

“Please..” I pleaded as tears rolled down my cheeks.

My tears seemed to annoy him as his eyes darkened and it frightened me, and I closed my eyes, expecting my death but after a moment, I felt nothing and when I opened my eyes, I saw him staring at me.

Before I could get the chance to think about it, I heard the door open. “Alpha,” 

Alpha? 

He’s an Alpha?

If I was right, he’s Alpha Graham of Silvercrest pack! What was I doing here? How did I get in his pack? 

“What do you want, Beta Ronald?” The man, whom I now knew to be Alpha Graham, asked, and there was irritation evident in his voice but fortunately, he had released his hold just enough for me to breathe.

“We’ve discovered four bodies. The vampires killed four of our pack members and I think they did that to send a message,” Beta Ronald explained and I swallowed in fear as I felt my heart racing.

Alpha Graham turned to me and tightened his grip on my neck as if he was pouring his anger on me.

“I have a feeling that we have something that belongs to them and they want it by all means. I wonder what it is.” Beta Ronald continued.

“It’s her.” Alpha Graham said in a low voice that sent chills down my spine. “She’s an important vampire to the vampire lord and he wants her badly.”

“The best thing to do is to send her back inorder to protect the members of this pack. We can’t risk starting a war.” Ronald tried to reason with Alpha Graham, and I hoped that he’d send me away but he was as adamant as ever.

“I will do no such thing,” he spat, “if they want her, then they should come and get her. I’m not scared of war.” He declared and it sounded like he was ready for anything.

My heart raced as I watched him. I didn’t know what was going on in his head and I could only hope that it’d be to my favour. “Keep her locked up in this cell, then we’ll wait for their attack.” He said, released me from his hold and walked away.

I scrambled away from him until my back hit the wall and then I gasped for breath. I had no idea what was going on, but I knew that I didn’t want to get involved with the vampires as they were dangerous.
