Torn Between the Alpha and the Vampire Chapter 16: New Routine
When I woke up, it was still dark but there was some light coming in from some of the places he hadn't covered with cloth completely. He was still fast asleep. He didn't make a sound as he slept. It almost sounded like he wasn't even breathing. I recalled the coffins I saw in the room on the right wing. Didn't he sleep in a coffin too? It was just a thought. I didn't really care. I assumed it was early morning. I didn't sleep that well and I felt a little cranky. He was sleeping all relaxed on the bed and I was here, hearing every joint in my body crack. An old movie was playing when I turned the TV on and I let it play. I watched it disinterestedly at first before I started getting entertained. I didn't switch positions, though, nor did I make a sound. The volume was low so I couldn't disturb Felix so I couldn't hear it well, but for the most part, I understood it. I was bored again by the time the second movie started playing. My mouth was dry. My belly grumbling. I was hungry a
Torn Between the Alpha and the Vampire Chapter 17: An Act of Stubbornness
As soon as I opened my eyes in the morning, I saw Felix hovering above me. I gasped and sat up, inching away from him. I shouldn’t have moved too quickly because I was a little too stiff from sleeping on the couch. His expression was stern and the paleness was still there, but he looked a lot better. My eyes darted to his abdomen but I didn’t see any blood. He had changed his shirt and it didn’t look like the area was bandaged or anything. Did he get it stitched up?“Your smell is starting to fade,” he said. “Soon enough, they won’t be able to track you anymore.”“Does that mean that they won’t be able to find me anymore?”Felix eyed me for the longest time without saying a word. His weird silences were really starting to get on my nerves. I couldn’t understand why he never just gave me a straight answer. “Does it?”“We’ll see.”It seemed those were his two favorite words. I gave up and didn’t ask anymore questions. My back was killing me and I decided that I’d sleep on the bed fo
Torn Between the Alpha and the Vampire Chapter 18: Underground
Felix didn't have a problem getting in. The bouncer seemed to know him well and barely even glanced at me as we walked past him.The place was just as I remembered. The only thing that changed was me. The last time I was here, I was with my fiancé and his stepsister, and we were happy. I was happy. Things were different now. I killed them and was here with a vampire to find a werewolf who could help me. Nobody would believe me if I told them. They’d all think I was crazy. The place was completely packed. We had to weave through the crowd to get to wherever Felix intended to go. Thankfully, I didn’t come across anyone I recognized from the other times I was here. We weren’t exactly frequent customers but we were here often enough. Surprisingly, we always saw the same faces. Tonight, it was different. Perhaps that was because I myself had changed. I was looking at the world through a strange lens now. How many of the people I saw here were mythical creatures? It was impossible to te
Torn Between the Alpha and the Vampire Chapter 19: Moodiness
Felix was oddly still for the remainder of the drive. I didn't know where we were headed and he hadn't offered, as usual. The reason why I believed he was ‘oddly’ still was because there was a heaviness to it. His expression was blank but there was something in his eyes that told me that he was angry. He was the one who had left me behind, so I didn’t know what his problem was. Then again, I never did. I was tired of this. His temperament wasn’t easy to deal with. The only reason why I was enduring it was because I had nowhere to go and nothing to do. Without his help, I would have been dead by now. That didn’t meant that I wasn’t exhausted by his antics, though. I folded my arms and stared out the window. It was comical how it felt like we were a couple who just argued in the club and were on their way home. This was far from the truth. I didn’t understand what his problem was. He said he was doing this to help me and then he treated me like shit. I didn’t expect us to be friend
Torn Between the Alpha and the Vampire Chapter 20: A Half-Hearted Apology
The pizza had arrived and I had nearly the whole thing to myself. I had also had some of the tea that Red gave to me to hide my scent. I never was a fan of herbal tea, but it wasn’t all that bad. After I drank my first cup, Jay remarked that my scent had gotten a little bit better. Felix didn’t comment. He was still in a sulky mood and frankly, I didn’t care. I was tired of feeling guilty of the fact that he was helping me out. I didn’t ask for his help. He offered it. Since the vampires would be awake for the rest of the night, I went ahead and decided to sleep. I asked them where I could rest, interrupting their conversation, and Vanessa told me that I could use the third room on my right. It was a small but cozy room. The bed was a double and the sheets were white with baby green trimmings. I parted the windows and saw how the windows had this almost black film covering it. They were all drilled shut. I couldn’t open them even if I tried. I was grateful for the electricity at
Torn Between the Alpha and the Vampire Chapter 21: History
I woke up extra drowsy, for some reason. I didn’t know what the time was but I guessed that it was around ten. A quick glance around the room actually confirmed this. There was a clock in the room that I didn’t notice last night. It was twenty minutes past ten. The apartment was silent. I didn’t see a reason to leave the room because I wasn’t hungry and anyway, I was still tired. I felt like I could sleep for longer. I hated what my life had been reduced to but in all honesty, I was to blame for where my life was at. I made all the decisions and so, I’d have to face the consequences. By the way, I didn’t think it was all that bad. I missed the stability most of all. I missed my routine. Waking up in the morning, having whatever I wished to eat because food was never an issue, and then I’d have the day to myself because Garrett worked. He told me he worked at a firm. Was he lying? I had no idea. I didn’t have a reason to doubt him before because he had money. Where would it come fr
Torn Between the Alpha and the Vampire Chapter 22: Tag Along
It was around six PM when I heard them wake up. By then, I was wide awake. I felt like I had slept the entire day and would surely stay up at night. I had slept all the exhaustion away and the sense of not knowing what to do haunted me now. It was easier when I was always tired. Now that I was wide awake, I realized that things would be more boring for me. What was I supposed to do all night while they were busy drinking blood in the living room?I didn’t want to know but I was tired of staying in the room. Would it always be like this for me now that I was with them? It wasn’t that I was complaining because I knew I didn’t have another choice, but I didn’t have to be entirely satisfied with it either. I was now almost always surrounded by strangers and I didn’t get along with the one I was better acquainted with. Speaking of Felix, I wouldn’t even go there. I wouldn’t say that we had reached an agreement. My guess was that he was messing with my mind, mostly because he could hear
Torn Between the Alpha and the Vampire Chapter 23: Vampire Party
Nothing else was said about me by the time we reached the car, which was surprisingly a minivan. If there was one thing that shocked me, it was how ‘normal’ their lives were. They lived in an ordinary apartment in the worst possible neighborhood and they drove a minivan. The SUV Felix drove the other day made more sense—I didn’t question it. I guessed I associated vampires with wealth. It wasn’t the case although Felix’s apartment could be considered luxurious. I sat beside the tall vampire. Jay was in the passenger’s seat and Vanessa was driving. They weren’t saying much. What Jay said about me being ‘precious’ to Felix darkened the mood. I noticed the subtle change instantly, which only made me more curious as to why they were acting this way. What was there to be so upset about?I was embarrassed by what he had said but I didn’t think it warranted this sudden silence and tension. It always made me feel like I was two steps behind them, and that there was something going on that
