A Vampires Pride Don't you dare!...
Xander's POV…Xander swallowed down the clogging in his throat then adjusted his tie, which was beginning to choke him."Do they know each other? Xander they know each other!!!" Griff stated the obvious, utterly excited."I can see that!" he responded, unable to cover his annoyance."Look, they're hugging! Awww that's a kiss!" Griff was so taken in by the scene that he looked like he was watching his favorite sport."Who's kissing who?" Priscilla asked, joining them."No one," answered Xander."Why did you bring Roselyn here, I thought I asked you to keep her busy??" Xander heard Griff asking his wife."I tried but someone sent her a message telling her about the party and I couldn't lie," she answered.Helena looked up directly at him and Xander felt his palms begin to sweat. They were discussing him. What were they saying? He moved his jacket out of the way then slid his left hand in his pocket while the right remained holding his glass."What are you going to do?"Griff asked him,
A Vampires Pride Don't stop me.....
Helena's POV..His mouth covered hers, demanding and she squinted her eyes tightly in a deep frown, trying to free herself. She tried to lift her knee up to crush his jewels but it felt unbelievably heavy as if a weight had been pressed down on it.His lips applied pressure, forcing hers open and she felt his tongue sliding in, lashing against hers. He kissed her over and over again until she felt her resistance begin to break. 'No, I'm not doing this', she stubbornly convinced herself. However, when he pulled back, his wild, desire filled eyes searching hers, she found herself glued and unwilling to walk away. He tore off his jacket and ripped off his tie but she just stood there, breathlessly watching him.He went back in, this time less forceful and she circled her arms around his neck, welcoming him. She could still feel the heat of her anger behind her ears and in her chest and it heightened her lustful desire. His tongue created pleasure with its friction, his body rubbing h
A Vampires Pride The guilt in me...
Helena's POV…Helena hesitated, took one step forward then stopped again. She couldn't face them, not now, after…She let out her breath then closed her eyes."It sucks, doesn't it? I should have done something to stop her and now it's too late", she heard Roselyn's voice."Yeah, I'm also at fault for not doing anything", added Lexy."But you know what? The more I think about it, the more I feel something isn't right . I think those two knew each other, otherwise it doesn't make sense", she continued." No you're wrong!" Roselyn defended"Use your common sense for once. Why did she get that angry then? You don't humiliate someone like that if it's not personal."Lexy was right. Her reaction was completely self motivated and she hadn't put a thought towards Roselyn. If she had, she wouldn't have slept with him straight after." You're just jealous of my relationship and my friendship," Roselyn attacked."Jealous?? You think I'd be jealous of chasing after a guy that doesn't want me?" Le
A Vampires Pride An unexpected reunion...
Helena's POV…Nomatter how much she tried to justify it, it still felt inexcusable. Had she been faced with Roselyn right now, would she be giving the same excuses?"Honestly, Helena, I don't care about your little situation with miss high and mighty. Those are issues that you probably need to discuss with her. What I'm interested in is how you did it."Helena was confused for a second. Was Lexy implying that she was the one who had seduced Xander?"I didn't do anything! He got someone to lock me in and then he just started kissing me. I refused at first but he kept on and on," she tried to explain but Lexy cut her off."Stop! Don't give me any details! Geez, why would I want to know that?" she asked, causing Helena to blush. "What I mean is countless women have tried to get his attention and have failed, including that Roselyn friend of yours. Not only did he allow you to publicly humiliate him but he also rewarded you for it? I can't wrap my head around that,"she continued.Countl
A Vampires Pride My turn...
Xander's POV…He could feel his breathing becoming heavy as he searched her eyes, needing to hear the right words from her. Why had she discarded their union so callously? Did she not see how devoted he was to her? How much he couldn't exist without her?"They had me bound and I couldn't escape". She choked up the last bit and began to sob again. "They had you what?" he asked thinking he had misheard her."I tried so hard to awaken but I couldn't," spoke with a pained expression recalling her ordeal.Her words felt like embers igniting a burning flame in his chest.In an instant his body transformed into the monster that he was, placed her down on the couch next to him then stood up and walked to the balcony door."Who?" he asked, ready to take flight."Who would dare???" he roared, his voice echoing in the distance.She was taking too long to respond. He needed to know now so that he could unleash untold horrors on them. She moved towards him then embraced him from behind, trying
A Vampires Pride Not a nightmare...
Helena's POV..Helena let out a whimper before stirring awake. Something was trailing on her thigh, causing tingling sensations. She slowly opened her eyes then closed them again thinking it was a dream.' Why is this bastard in my bed?' she questioned opening her eyes again. His body was supported by his elbow, his head resting on his palm and he had this amused grin pasted on him.'God no, did I? Again? No I couldn't have,' she tried to piece everything together.'Wait a minute, this isn't my room!' she thought to herself, noticing the different colors and furnishings."Morning," he greeted her, freely moving his hand as if he owned her thigh. She immediately closed her legs on it."Xander, why am I here?" she asked him, feeling very annoyed with herself. It had only been a day and yet she was already back in bed with him? Didn't she learn her lesson already? Right now, Lexy's job was in trouble, she was unable to face Roselyn and not forgetting the fact that she could be pregnant
A Vampires Pride You wanna fight?
Xander POV…' Stay calm and be more understanding. She's just in shock', he told himself. Savannah's words last night now made sense. Helena had subconsciously rejected Savannah so the two were existing as seperate beings instead of one.He watched her helplessly as she shook her head, backing away from him. "Do I look stupid?? I think I would know if I was a blood sucking creature!!" He sighed, his fingers touching the bridge of his nose. She did seem epicly stupid right now and had she been someone else, he would have said it out loud.'She's just in shock', he reminded himself."I've never drunk anyone's blood, I've never turned into a bat and I happen to love garlic!!!"Everything she had just said was utter rubbish. The only persons blood that she was ever meant to drink was his otherwise he would tear that person to peices. Blood exchange was a sacred union that could only be shared by committed lovers who wished to share lifetimes together. And then there was that garlic aga
A Vampires Pride Kidnapped!...
Xander's POV…Holding a searing pan filled with sausages, Xander walked across the kitchen over to the dining room table. His mood had gone from being very annoyed to being worried about her. He knew that right now she was very confused and it was going to take her a while to fully accept and get used to who she was. If only she would stop viewing him as an enemy.Using a spatula, he scooped up the sausages, one by one, placing them next to the eggs, in the two plates that he had set infront of him. He had just poured the fruit juice into the jug when his doorbell rang."It better not be Griff!" he muttered to himself. Helena was still stuck on his wall at the moment and he didn't want to be made fun of. He walked over to the door camera then pressed the unlock button when he saw Gerald standing there."Come in, he ordered , too busy to physically get him at the door. The sound of Geralds heavy footsteps approached him as he opened the oven.Gerald paused just after walking in, gapin

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

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? She felt unbelievably lonely after having spent all of her time surrounded by many people.Had she been back at the palace, Lexy would be seated on the other couch right now and maybe Roselyn would be there too. 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
