The dark clothed man, who threw him down, glanced my way. I gasped. He freaking had wings, black and huge and he was hanging down low yet his feet never touching the ground. I would prefer using only one word if I had to describe him. A vampire!
He has white pale skin like a vampire, his lips are bloody red and his eyes are dark, so dark you would feel like he’s looking right into your soul, sorting through your darkest sins. He has black shoulder length hair and looks fierce and right now his lips are pressed into a thin line.
I could no longer deny that what was happening wasn’t real because real or not, it was definitely happening unless my eyes were playing some tricks on me.
“You didn’t tell me you met your mate, Alejandro.” He addressed the man who had bit me.
Mate?
“Leave her alone!” Alejandro tried to get up but ended up hissing in pain. Consequently, I gasped in pain.
“If I’m not mistaken, this is what happens among destined mates in your kind, right?” It sounded more like a statement than a question as his eyes shifting to and fro between us before he fixed his hardened yet amused gaze on Alejandro.
Destined mates?
“Don’t you dare!” Alejandro warned the guy who was slowly nearing me.
I think my death is near and from what I can see; the cause of my death will be greatly exaggerated.
“I pity you, a mere human and mated to a beast?” I pushed myself backwards despite the bruising pain I was feeling when he perched down low. Leaning close to my face, he closed his eyes and sniffed the air before a wicked grin spread across his lips.
“If this mutt hadn’t marked you, you would have had a chance but since you’ve already been dragged into this world, you will bear the consequences of being his mate.” He declared, his voice dripping with a death warning.
Before I could even blink, he raised his hand up high, a silver blade shinning as bright as the moon, and swiftly sliced through the air.
I realized minutes after that he hadn’t simply sliced through the air pointlessly when I felt pain seized my left arm. I glanced down in shock to find a long and deep bloody cut on my arm.
I could no longer scream but Alejandro cried out. Totally speechless by what just happened, I choked back my tears as my heart dropped into my stomach. I couldn’t bear hearing Alejandro’s painful cries as his body jerked in pain yet, I couldn’t make out why my heart tore in half hearing his screams.
“W-What -”
“Surprise seeing your mate in such pain? For you, it’s nothing but for him, this simple knife can be lethal.” He explained.
“H-How -”
“I’ll let you in on a little secret. This knife is specially coated with silver to give feral lycans like him a slow and painful death -”
“Lycans?” He pointedly glared at me when I interrupted him.
“You are so human. Have you never heard of werewolves?” I wanted to tell him that I was in fact very much human, thank you very much but I pressed my lips together.
“Werewolves are nothing but mutts…
I zoned out. I was still as bewildered as I had been ever since I met those dogs. Now that the engraved image of those dogs crossed my mind, I was forced to think about them. They were so huge that they couldn’t have been just dogs but then what were they… wolves?
“You’re wrong. He is not a werewolf. Werewolves don’t exist. If you want to kill, kill those wolves roaming the forest.” I argued.
I frowned and looked at Alejandro as he grunted out threateningly. He scowled at me, his eyes warning me to stay quiet. How I could understand him was beyond my understanding but I knew it had something to do with the bite on my neck.
“I will do just that in due time but first, let me kill their precious king.” He said, his eyes pinned on Alejandro.
How could he be a werewolf? Those creatures don’t exist.
Alejandro’s heart-rending cries brought me out of my trance.
The pain was unbearable but I still got up and rushed towards Alejandro even when my conscience advised me to run away while I still can and forget this was all happening. How could I walk away when my heart, out of the blue, had a mind of its own?
I knelt down beside Alejandro and hesitantly touched his shoulder. My heart skipped a beat when he instantly bared his fangs at me, his eyes switching from silver to yellow once again but on realizing that it was me, his cold demeanor drastically changed.
His hard gaze softened while his aggrieved eyes filled up with tears. I grimaced as my chest involuntarily ached and I accidentally blurted out.
“Please, leave him alone.” I raised my voice at the dark clothed man and held onto Alejandro when he groaned.
The man nodded, deep in thought before he smirked.
Unlike Alejandro’s smirk, his looked utterly wicked and ugly as if he wanted nothing but blood. My guess turned out to be right when he finally spoke up.
“On one condition… I want your blood.” And with that, he began laughing darkly. His evil laugh sent a chill down my spine.
I flinched and glanced down at Alejandro when he grabbed my hands. He shook his head and tightened his grip on me.
“It’s been so long since I’ve had human blood.” He stated and flashed me his sharp fangs as his whole eyes blackened.
“You’re a vampire.” I voiced out in shock.
Mate, Lycans, werewolves and vampires, what more do I need before I could tell the world that I was now living in the twilight zone so that I wouldn’t be labeled a classic mental case?
His eyes widened in disbelief. “You know my kind?” He hummed satisfyingly before adding. “Nice! I won’t waste time introducing myself to you then.” With that said, he advanced towards us, more specifically, me but stilled when Alejandro shouted.
“She is my mate, not your blood bank.” Alejandro warned in a pissing tone as he struggled to get up.
“I’m not your mate.” I whispered angrily but still helped him to his feet.
“Do you want to become his blood bank?” He challenged me, the blank look on his face irked me but instead of refuting, I meekly shook my head.
“That’s what I thought.” He muttered before shifting his eyes on the vampire who was fuming silently.
I glared daggers at Alejandro, wishing that the ground would open up and swallow him whole but that could wait since we had yet to quench a vampire’s thirst.
One who was currently craving my blood!
Alejandro’s point of view:I returned the threatening glare Ivan was throwing my way with one of my own.“How dare you cross my territory?” I roared.“Don’t you dare bark at me, you mutt.” Ivan snapped, his pupils thinning out before his eyes turned black.My wolf, Leo, fought to break free and growled, dangerously deep and low, forcing me into submission but I refused to yield to his demand.‘Damn it, Leo! Just stay put, I don’t want our mate to be scared of us.’‘You are the one who scared her away. I was doing great until you put your foot in it.’‘Fine, I admit that what I did was reckless but just listen to me this time, okay?’‘I will not stay put if anything goes out of control.’‘That is if anything goes out of control.’‘I’ll have your back.’ Once I got my wolf’s a
Amelia’s point of view:Feeling his eyes burning holes in the back of my head, I quickened my pace.I exhaled freely once I turned around the corner and stepped back into town, the place where civilians like me live. I did not even realize I had been holding my breath.I could feel his eyes on my ass the whole way until I turned the corner. He must be sick in the head if he thought I would go anywhere with him.I ran the remaining distance back to my apartment building. I hastily keyed in the code to open my apartment door. Closing my eyes, I sighed and leaned my back against the door once I was safely inside.I glanced at the clock. It was one in the morning. I spent ten hours out there in that forest, ten whole hours which changed my life overnight.That forest has so much stuffs going on. How come the locals around here are so oblivious to it? Either they are ignorant or those creatures know perfectly well how to ca
Amelia’s point of view: While returning back home the next day, I frowned when I noticed a black figure looming by my apartment. Feeling a burst of anger through my chest, I decided that enough was enough. Without wasting a second, I screamed and dashed towards the figure that froze like a deer caught in headlights. I grabbed the sides of his waist in a hip-lock and knocked him off his feet. I glanced down at him when he grunted out in pain while gripping his right arm. Feeling a pain shot up my right arm, I hissed. I stared at Alejandro in shock when he lifted the hood off his head. “It’s you!” I grimaced when his face twisted in pain. “I’m so sorry.” I exclaimed. “It serves you right.” I whispered through gritted teeth. My breath hitched as he swiftly looked up at me. Did he hear me? Impossible! I got rid of that thought. I held out a hand to help him up but he adamantly hoisted himself back on his fee
Alejandro’s point of view: I kept thinking about Amelia… her scent, her voice, her sassiness, damn it! I was screwed! After I’d been to her place the other night, I couldn’t stop thinking about her. I wish to have her here with me, to feel her, to love her. I craved the way she tasted. My wolf wouldn’t let me breathe in peace. We both can’t seem to be able to stay away from our mate. I shouldn’t have let her go back to that town. ‘Glad to know you’ve realized that.’ Leo groaned. ‘Don’t you dare start again!’ I warned my wolf. He boldly growled back but before I could tell him anything, he withdrew back to the back of my mind. That was his personal space. And, I wasn’t allowed to disturb him there. I would do anything to have Amelia here with me. Then, maybe my wolf wouldn’t be so pissed off and moody all the time. But, she’d already made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with me. I can’t believe I’m letting a human control me. She’s m
Amelia's point of view: I was humming to my favorite song while washing the dirty dishes after dinner before calling it a night. I was exhausted. “Yeah, I’m gonna take my horse to the old town road I’m gonna ride til I can’t no more…” I used the scrubber as a mic as I sang along. Once I was done cleaning the kitchen, I sunk down into my comfortable chair in the living room. I sighed in relief before removing my earphones. I sat upright in alert when I heard a noise from outside my apartment. It almost felt like something was being moved roughly against the hard surface of the door from outside. I swear to God if it was that so-called gorgeous man who called himself the Lycan King, I… I… What would I do again? I stood up and walked to my front door. I was trying so hard not to let that little fear I felt growing within me but it was quite evident in my hesitant steps. Am I really letting whatever might be at the
Amelia’s point of view:“Don’t you dare come close to me!” Stepping back while pointing a finger up at him, I warned him as he neared me.“Is this really what you want?” He asked with an eyebrow raised questioningly.I gulped and stepped two to three steps back when he somehow made his way halfway across the room.I stopped with a gasp as my back touch the wall behind me.Before I could move to the left, Alejandro covered the remaining distance between us using his supernatural speed. I trapped between him and the wall within seconds.Looking up, I found it hard to breathe when I met his gaze.I rolled my eyes and started to tell him to leave me alone, but he leaned in and his breath whispered hot through my hair. “I think you want me here… close to you.” He stroked my cheek with his, sending a hot trail of tingles to shot up my whole body.My heart stutter
Amelia’s point of view:I pretended as if nothing had happened when I walked out of the bathroom once I was done. Every part of my body burned with the heated glare he was throwing my way.Not being able to keep my straight face for long, I dared glance at him.My eyes were immediately captured by his piercing gaze.Ignoring the sudden anxious feeling churning in my stomach, I grinned at him. “Good morning!”“Good? It had been anything but good.” He grumbled with a sigh but he kept gazing intently at me as if he was sorting through my thoughts.“Not good? You woke up on the wrong side of the bed then. Oops! I forgot. You didn’t even sleep on the bed.” I slowly shook my hea
Amelia’s point of view: I stopped munching and narrowed my eyes at the hand reaching for my plate. It must have felt my stare as it promptly yet smoothly moved my plate across the table. I trailed my eyes up until they pinned down on Alejandro. Feeling my gaze on him, he stilled before looking at me. I tipped my head up and arched a brow at him. He completely ignored me as he switched his plate with mine. I forced the bite down my throat before shouting at him. “What are you doing? Give it back!” I reached for my plate of pancakes but he swatted my hands away. “You can eat mine.” He shrugged nonchalantly as if it was no big of a deal that he just stole my food. “Give it back now or else…” I trailed off when I was unable to think of something I could threaten him with. “Or else… what?” He provoked me. Oh boy! You wouldn’t know what hit you! I wanted to say but I settled on something else.”Or else you won’t believe what I’m going to do to yo
