A Vampires Pride I forgive you..
Xander’s POV.. What is the meaning of this? he questioned in his head. Was she seriously afraid of those dead animals or was it just an act? No it couldn't have been an act. The fear, the watery eyes and the way she had spoken were all too real to fake it. If it wasn't an act then what did it mean? He remembered the incident at the gas station and her response to it. She seemed to be unaware of who she really was and her behavior towards him was very confusing. Is it possible that she had lost her memories, did not recognize him and that he had completely misjudged her? He raised his document to cover his face so that he could take a peek at her and she was seated deep in thought, picking at the eggs on her plate. He had long finished his breakfast and yet she was still stuck on her third mouthful. What was she thinking of right now? She looked up from her food and he quickly avoided her, setting the eight page contract back on the table then returned to his work. He really h
A Vampires Pride A homely feeling...
Helena’s POV.. She didn't know why she didn't protest, why she didn't push him away and why she remained seated there blushing like a schoolgirl. Maybe deep down she was feeling lonely or maybe she craved some kind of human contact that she could not remember ever having. The only thing that she knew for sure was that this giant, delicious looking man was snuggled on her, using her as his pillow. What was he thinking of her right now? Did her legs feel bony? What about her breathing? Was it too loud? A thousand questions buzzed in her head. Besides the act of lovemaking, intimacy had never been her thing throughout her life. Her parents were barely ever there to give her cuddles and she had grown up without feeling the need for them. That's why Aaron had been perfect for her because he never did any mushy stuff. The self awareness soon wore off when she heard his breathing becoming heavier and uneven causing her to relax. He was now fast asleep. He must be really tired, she though
A Vampires Pride the final test...
Helena’s POV… There, she had said it, as it was without mincing her words. She finally let go of her breath that she had held and released her numb, balled up fists. Her eyes looked at him for the first time since beginning her confession and he sat with his chin resting on his knuckles, an unreadable but serious expression written on him. He moved, leaning back on the couch, his arm resting on the side and his fingers began to tap, prolonging her anxiety. This had to have been the hardest confession she had ever made to date. The last time she remembered feeling this way was way back in high school when her parents had returned early from their business trip and found Pete Kensington in her room. They had only been listening to music, but for her, who had been a straight A student, great at sports and who was the class president, this had been made into a bigger deal than it really was. She had been grounded for the first time for a whole month without a phone or any other privi
A Vampires Pride Letting go
Helena’s POV.. "Who the hell is Savannah?" she questioned trying really hard to hide her hurt feelings. Not once but twice! Her heart felt like someone was slowly squeezing it and tears threatened to form. Up until now, she had not realized just how much she liked him, how much she wanted to be a part of his life and how important it was for him not to think about other women. 'This is crazy!' she thought to herself, turning away from him and wiping away an escaped tear. Savannah must be his girlfriend or worse, his wife. He must love her a lot for him to call out her name twice without even realizing it. She had brushed off the first time as an error in speech, people did that sometimes but when he said it again, it brought unexpected pain and heartache. "What am I looking at? " he asked, circling one arm around her shoulders and leaning against her. 'He shouldn't be doing this to Savannah!' alarm bells rang in her head and she brushed his arm off, taking a step away from him
A Vampires Pride unexpected absence...
Xander's POV… Xander signed off his last document for the day then did a quick browse through to make sure that everything was in order. "There, I'm done", he proudly announced, dropping his pen and leaning his head back against the couch. His body felt tired and beaten up but that was overshadowed by what was to come, the moment he had anticipated for years. His eyes wandered around the room and Helena was not there. Her boots that were normally by the door were also missing but he was not worried. She probably went to the bathroom and would soon return. Without giving her whereabouts a second thought, he got up from the couch and went to the fridge, where he got a cold soda, popped it open then drank away the nerves. Which was the best way to begin the conversation?Judging by her reaction to the animals that Joe brought, he assumed that she didn't know anything about who or what he was and most importantly who she was to him. "You might be wondering why I'm here, why we met
A Vampires Pride taking back what's mine...
Xanders POV.. "Unseal us! " His being whispered to him. " No", he shook his head disregarding its request. Life would be so much easier if he did though. He was never exhausted when unsealed, could be a hundred times faster and finding her would be instantaneous. Over the past few days he had experienced what it was to labor and feel exhausted. This was what Helena had been going through and he felt closer to her, sharing her experience. "Helena!!! "he called out to her, searching anywhere and everywhere. He folded his arm in front of him, pushing against the ghastly gale, as he struggled with his footing. He knew he had no choice, his being was his only option but no matter what, he could not imagine her reaction to being rescued by a six foot amalgamation between a bat and a humanoid. "Answer me damn it!"As time passed, his desperation grew and the pressure to be released intensified. He now stood at the edge of a cliff, the little cabins scattered all over the valley below.
A Vampires Pride mine....
Xanders POV… He silently watched her, sitting on the couch, biting on her nail and shaking her knee up and down in a vibrating motion. He could smell her fear, hear the racing of her heart and almost hear her jittery thoughts. Heated bouts of anger rose in his chest as he observed her moistened forehead and her feisty hair that hung loose in waves, from her assault on him. What exactly had he done for her to leave like that? She sprung up from her seat, anxiously charged for the window then peered outside. . "Calm down, they're gone", she forced herself, oblivious of the fact that he had been seated opposite her, his one foot up on the couch and his arm resting on it. The door to Joe's bedroom opened and Joe came out and she turned and walked towards him. "Is Emma okay?" she asked with an uneasy look."She's fine", Joe answered"And Junior?""He slept right through it""Aw thank God! " she gave out a sigh of relief. "Miss Helena, there's something awfully strange about these bat
A Vampires Pride Helpless!...
Helena's POV…'Aaron, why are you doing this to me? Haven't you taken enough already?' she thought to herself feeling bitter towards him. It was her that he wanted, she should be the one affected not Joe and Emma! Why did he have to go after them when they had nothing to do with this?Helena's remorseful eyes wandered to Emma whose mouth was quivering uncontrollably, resting on the couch that they had dragged closer to the blaze. Her leopard print extra thick blanket was wrapped tightly around her up to her neck and she had on a thick jersey and some mittens inside. Joe was close by,seated on the floor, equally trembling with his hands held open in front of him, trying to draw in some heat into his body. Had she known five years ago that things would end up this way, she would have never spoken to Aaron at Dahlias wedding. On that day, Helena had arrived late for the reception and as a result, been seated on a table with a group of strangers, of which Aaron happened to be one of them

A Vampires Pride The only one...
Xanders POVJust five minutes after Roselyn left, the door suddenly swung open again and he sighed thinking she had returned."Sir you can't do that!!!" Lucinder protested.What was it about today and meeting exes? Helena's ex fiance had just barged into his office." Let him in," Xander ordered her and she stepped back, closing the door. Normally he would have never tolerated such disrespect but he was in a good mood today and nothing could ruin his day." What do you want?" He asked out of curiosity. Out of all people, why would Helena's ex pay him a visit? Had he teamed up with Roselyn to come and interrogate him?" You took Helena away from me for you to play with her??? I saw everything!" he accused Xander with a look of pure disgust.What he saw had been a case of mistaken identity but he wasn't about to explain himself, especially to his wife's ex."I don't see how any of this is your business", he answered casually. " If you have nothing better to say then leave my office"."I
A Vampires Pride I will bite....
Helena's POV….Helena rested her head on Xanders chest for the rest of the afternoon as they laid on the couch watching tv. "Are you okay?" Xander asked her and she lifted her head, placing her chin on her wrist."I don't know", she answered honestly. She couldn't erase Roselyn's shocked facial expression, the moment when Xander announced her name."Stop beating yourself up about it. It's something that couldn 't be avoided", he reassured her, stroking her back." I just wish I had done it differently. She didn't deserve to find out infront of so many people", she admitted." She knew that I had found someone else, she just didn't know it was you but I agree. We should have told her before making it public.""What's going to happen to her?" She asked knowing that Roselyn had committed a crime. She was after all now the crown princess." I don't want her to attack you ever again", he answered, looking away." What does that mean? What are you going to do to her?" she questioned. That
A Vampires Pride Unintended betrayal...
Helena's POV …Her heart beat loudly at the thought of what was about to come as they made their way to the hall. Not only was she about to betray her friend but she was going to publicly humiliate her as well. It would have been better if she had told her in private and saved her from attending the event. 'Why are there so many people?' she thought to herself.In the few minutes that she had been in the backroom, the hall had filled up with at least a thousand people. The fact that the room was now packed didn't help either and Helena tried to focus on the bright side. At least things were finally going to be out in the open and she didn't have to look over her shoulder anymore. Xander took her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers and she stiffened, gritting her teeth and giving him a warning look.Couldn't he tell that she was anxious about Roselyn standing right in front of them? He lifted up her hand and brought it to his lips and she pulled it back from him giving him a wha
A Vampires Pride Welcome back..
Helena's POV…The next morning, after a night of endless passion, she woke up to breakfast in bed."Morning," he greeted her with a kiss.He had already taken his shower and was dressed in his suit trousers and tie."Hi," she greeted back. She sat up next to him, covering her upper body, which had been exposed.Now that the adrenalin and intense emotions had worn off, she was now feeling a little self conscious. " Can I ask you something?"" Yes you may. What is it?" he asked her., trailing kisses on her shoulder."Are we now a couple as in am I your girlfriend?" she asked, blood rushing to her cheeks. He stopped kissing her and just looked at her for a while without responding She turned to face him with her body, anxiety kicking in "Are we ?," she repeated her question."What happened to just sex?" he asked with a serious face.She felt her heart drop at his response so she avoided his eyes and began to move away. She wanted more than anything to be with him and if he wasn't
A Vampires Pride I promise I wont
Helena's POV..She held on tightly as he soared into the sky, his chest heaving and she could feel the heat from his boiling anger. She had done this to him. Her hands began to caress the back of his neck and she grazed the skin on his chest with her teeth before sucking it hard. He inhaled, tensing his muscles and she could feel as if his speed increased until all she could see was different shades of color. She stopped taunting him, burying her face in his chest and holding him close. It took only an hour to get to the palace, surprising her and he transformed as he laid her wobbly feet back on the ground. "Xander I", she tried to speak but he grabbed her by her hand and began to walk briskly with her. The palace seemed deserted when they crossed the foyer and she had to half run at some point to keep up with him.They entered the elevator and as soon as he pressed the 6th floor, he pounced on her, giving her the hardest and most passionate kiss she had ever experienced in her en
A Vampires Pride In your arms...
Helena's POV…Night time came and as promised Aaron returned early. "Aaron, I need to go back to Tithen," she informed him as soon as he sat down for dinner. The table had been set outside, on the gazebo ,near the pool area.She had been on edge throughout the day, jumping at every sound and looking behind her shoulder."Elle, come on! Don't say that," he brushed her off."No, I need to go like now! Can you please arrange a flight for me?" She begged. She didn't want to be here anymore and the only person that she knew who could make everything okay was Xander."Are you being serious? Did something happen while I was gone?" he asked, looking concerned."Yes!!! Aw God I need to go", she insisted, getting on her feet."Please take a seat and calm down. What happened?" He pulled her back to her seat and she anxiously looked at him.She didn't know where to begin. It wasn't only about the fact that she had spooked the daylights out of herself but she needed to get back to him. "A few h
A Vampires Pride The first meeting...
Helena's POV…From the hospital, she drove to her apartment, with Aaron following behind.As soon as they arrived she led him straight to her bedroom and took out the notes from one of the drawers."Here, take a look at this," she stretched out her hand to Aaron to give him the papers.Instead of taking the notes from her, he grabbed hold of her hand and squeezed it moving closer to her."I miss you Elle. I miss you so much", he expressed, passionately looking into her eyes.She pulled her hand away, dropping the papers on the floor before subconsciously wiping her hand on her clothes as if to wipe off some dirt. Aarons gasped and his expression quickly turned to hurt." It's as if you've become someone else", he said, creasing his forehead then turning away from her to hide the pain." I need time. Can you please be more understanding?" she begged him, feeling hurt as well. She didn't know why her feelings for him had completely disappeared. Okay she knew why but she felt with more ti
A Vampires Pride A crazy stalker...
Helena' s POV…That night, after shopping for a few supplies at the local grocery store, she removed her shoes before entering her apartment..She felt too lazy to make a proper meal so she just made a chicken and mayo sandwich and a cup of hot chocolate to warm herself up.She made herself comfortable on the couch before grabbing the remote and clicking on the on button.Before Eaglesdale, this had been her daily routine that she always looked forward to, coming back exhausted from work and having that quality time where she unwound. Why did she now feel so desolate and isolated?

But it wasn't Lexy or Roselyn that she was craving. She wanted to see his handsome face one last time, to feel his touch on her skin and to lie on his chest and watch tv while doing it. She dozed off
