Her blood tasted so sweet I had a feeling like I was drinking a glass of wine.
Instead of taking a small amount of blood, I just drank without thinking. The girl's face was becoming pale with a loss of blood.
When I thrust hard into her, she cried and bit my shoulder so hard.
I could sense that my skin tore, and blood came out from there when she bit.
When I spilled into her, she took a long breath and slumped on the bed, licking her lips with my blood on them.
When I saw that, my eyes went wild.
She tasted my blood, M-My blood… and I took her blood at that same time…Shit...We... We…we consumed blood from each other at the same time. We are mated now.
What should I do? This wasn't supposed to happen. I screamed in my head.
Now she is my mate. But she is human, and vamps only have one mate for their life, and because she took my blood and I took hers simultaneously, we got mated.
We have bonded with each other all our life. When vamps choose their mate, they drink blood from each other. This will form a bond between each other to sense each other.
If one of us dies, the other should live alone all his life. We can't get matted to others.
We drink blood from humans, but it is always one-sided.
Our saliva has a healing ability. We drink human blood and remove all the evidence from the person's body and mind. After drinking blood, we will heal the wound on their wrist.
Yes, we bite on the wrist to drink blood. Only for our mate, we take blood from the neck.
And when we bite on the person's neck, we can heal it, but it will form a mark which will be present on our body for our whole life remembering us of our partners.
When people look into our eyes, we can make them forget specific memory that we want. Can I be able to do that for her? Will she be able to forget today, ME?
When I look down at her, she is sleeping like a baby, her face is pale, her pale skin looks like a sheet of paper.
I lick on her neck where I bite her trying to make the wound disappear, But I couldn't.
So I can only try to heal, so she doesn't feel any pain when she wakes up the following day. I can see it healing. It looks like some insect bite on her neck.
Now I need to erase her memory. I try to make her weak up to make her forget this night.
"Baby... get up" I pat on her chicks.
"Mmm…" she moves slightly but doesn't open her eyes.
I want to coo at her cuteness. But we need to do this. "Common baby, look at me, open your eyes," I try to convince her.
"No," she says, trying to turn to another side, "Please…." I speak with the softest voice I can make.
Her eyes shutter she slowly opens her eyes to look at me. I can feel she is happy at this time from the bond.
She doesn't notice the liberty I'm taking with her, calling her sweet names, and my behavior towards her. She doesn't see anything.
My heart hurts when I see her innocent face, but I need to erase her memory. If anyone discovers about her, they will kill her in a heartbeat.
And she is a human at that.
I need to do that to protect her from all the danger she can get herself into because of me. My position and the prestige of being a powerful vamp exist in history.
Many want to kill me, to take my place for the power they can acquire from me.
They carve for power, and they can do anything for that. I have seen the worst in my life. I can't involve her in all of this.
She is innocent of facing this situation, and this girl doesn't even know that we exist in this world.
I need to protect her since she is my family now.
I can't lose anyone from my family. So, I look into her eyes, searching for the specific memory I want to erase from her mind.
Unholy lord, she has suffered so much hardship in her life. My heart hurts for her, but she needs protection that I can't give her right now.
Since that is the case, she needs to live with her human guardians even though they don't treat her well.
When I look into her mind, I find that It's not my people that drugged her but her cousin who did it.
So, I took the wrong girl into my room? Well, is it a bad thing or a good thing? For now, I think it's a good thing. If it is not, we can think about it in the future.
When I was thinking all this, she was looking at my face. Slowly she starts to register everything present in Infront of her.
Her eyes are wild when she sees my fangs, My red eyes.
When I see her face filled with fear, just like she has seen a ghost.
I register I need to do this now, or making her forget this will be difficult. So, I look for today's memory and start to erase it.
My eyes turn bright red, and she gets hypnotized when looking into my eyes.
When the process ends, her eyes fall shut. I look at her one last time, then collect everything and leave the room.
Elizabeth's POV When I get up, I look around to find myself in an unfamiliar bed. It's still a little dark outside, and I don't get it at first. I slowly start to move my body to get up. I yelp at the pain in my lower body. That's when it clicked. My eyes widen at the realization. I look down to my body to see if anything is wrong, Praying it's all a dream, but the reality is a b*tch. Last night Tina and her friends drugged me. WHY… covering my face with my hands, I cry. I don't know how long I sobbed. When I stop and braise myself, I lift my face to look at my surrounding. I see my body covered in bruises and bites, questioning my life. This room is quite large compared to other rooms you have been assigned to clean and check on. The large bed covers a large part of the room, leaving both sides to walk around freely. There is a couch just in the front of the room. The floor is covered with carpet. It's
I stare at the place for a few seconds as my eyes widen at what I see there. A beautiful mark of the full moon sits, half-covered with Gray clouds, and a bat is flying around it. Did I get a tattoo yesterday? It is the thought that crosses my mind. How did this mark come on my neck? I run my fingers on the mark shiver runs through my body. I kind of like it there. It feels like it belongs there on my body. With all the questions and debates running through my mind, I get ready for college. I try not to make any noise; I had enough of their bullshit yesterday night. I don't want to listen to the same today as well. So, I prepare a simple breakfast and arrange the table for the family. Without any concerns, I slip out of the house. When I reached the college, It was still early. I collected my things from the locker for the first class. I make my way to my classroom. It was empty, and because I came so early for the course and I
When those words leave his mouth, the class gets Pindrop silent. I know it's normal for girls to lose their virginity so early, but it's not okay to exhibit it to the whole city. We have a reputation to maintain, and people are a little old-fashioned in this small city. Their mindset is not as open as people living in big cities. And people are a little conservative and suspicious of anything new. Our city is so tiny that it is unmapped on the country map. It's like a group of people arrived here and cleared a small part of the forest to construct houses and make a living in them. Everybody knows everyone in this city. And everybody will know that I lost my virginity before turning 18, before my marriage. And it will be taboo in everybody's eyes. I'll be a shameless person now in their eyes. And what comes after that is a judgemental eye every time I leave the house. If this incident is known by my manager at work, I will have
I wanted to yell at her for what she did to me. How can she have the face to say it was me sleeping around the town for fun to lose count of the men I slept with. Is she sane? "It was all you and your…." "Okay, what's going on here?" professors voice cut my argument, and the whole class became silent. "Nothing, sir, just a health argument between us sisters," Tina replayed, eyeing me to keep my mouth shut. "Whatever she said," I replayed, making my way towards my chair. Everyone parted with a look of disgust when I moved near them like I was a plague. Even if the professor noticed, I'm glad he did not comment on that. What would his reaction be if he knew the situation? Well, he will know about it by the end of the day. My seat was near the window. I started looking outside, not interested in listening to whatever the professor said. My class is situated on the third floor, and I can get a pretty view of the forest behi
When the time hits 5 o'clock in the evening, school ends, and now I have one hour to reach the hotel to report for my job. I wonder if I can keep this job now, I'm sure everyone knows whatever happened in the college by now. What will they think about my work ethic now? I tried so hard to secure this job. With my hard work and passion, I made an impression on my Manager. And now It's all gone, for a lie Tina and her friends waved for me. Well, it's not entirely false. I lost my virginity to some asshole Tina has arranged for me whom I can't even identify, even if the man passes just by my side. But I'm not being as shameless as s*ut and sleeping around in the town. Why is she hell-bent on making me regret being born and living with them? It was familiar for everyone to see the welled-up tears in my eyes, and I could always see the pettiness they felt towards me. And it always hurts more when I see those looks people give me when they hear about my suffering and losing my family
"And what scent are you talking about?" Elizabeth raises her eyebrows at Susan with a look of determination on her face. Only she knows how much fear she had in her heart. It took all Elizabeth's effort to stop her body from shivering because of the fright. Susan stops laughing and stands straight, but a small smile remains on her face. It only makes Elizabeth more nervous. "You know you always smelled like fresh roses and sandalwood. Now you are not. Did you perhaps change your perfume" This is weird. Elizabeth doesn't use body perfume. Elizabeth doesn't have the money to buy it even if she wants to. How can Susan smell roses and sandalwood from me? "What do you mean I smell like roses? I don't use perfume. How can you smell the scent from my body when we don't even interact with each other?" when Elizabeth asked her this, Susan looked like she was taken aback by her question. "I-" Susan struggles to form a proper answer, "I live in the woods, so my sense of smell is a little sh
When Riya told me she wanted to talk to me privately I couldn’t express what I was feeling was its fear or hopelessness or both. Both Jack and Susan go silent on us which makes me more nervous about the conversion I’m going to have with Riya. They look at me with concern-filled eyes and gives me an assuring look that calms my heart and mind. Even though I talked to them today only I feel some type of connection has formed with them I didn't even feel it when I made friends with Katy. It feels like I formed a bond with them in such a short time and knowing someone in here cares for me and my safety. they are there for me behind my back praying for the best for me I can see that in their eyes. Even if my own family was present here they would never care about me as much as these two cared for me at present. And the irony of this situation is a stranger that I meet today is more worried for me then my own family. And whatever situation I'm currently in is because of som
“So, is there anything you want me to know or you want to tell me anything, you have a chance now Lisa” she continues with a blank face. “I – I’m... I’m s-sorry” I hide my face from her not having the courage to face her demanding and questioning look. She doesn’t say anything just sits there may be thinking how to break the news to me that I’m fired. “Why are you sorry Lisa?” she questions me. Does she want to hear it from my mouth only? Why? Was it not enough to hear it from others she wants me to tell her everything in detail? I pursue my lips and whisper in a low voice “You must have heard the rumors about me”. “Yes, but I want to know if they are true or not from you only” “Yes, they are true I -” she cuts my sentence in half “So, you are really from that family” “Family? Which family?” Confusion clear on my face what is she talking about when was there any rumor about my family. “Off course Greenwood family” she looks at me expec
The forest stretched out in an endless sea of green, but his path was clear. Each step he took felt heavier than the last like the weight of unseen chains dragging him back. The crisp scent of damp earth and pine needles filled his senses, but it wasn’t enough to quiet the storm in his mind.Liam Black — Alpha of the Black Panther Pack — moved with predatory grace, his golden eyes sharp as a blade in the dim twilight. His sleek black coat, faintly visible through the open flaps of his cloak, shone faintly under the dying red light of the setting sun. His muscles coiled and uncoiled with each step as his internal battle raged on.Every instinct told him to turn around. To go back. To keep his distance from her.Elizabeth.Her name lingered in his mind like a stubborn thorn. The half-sister he didn’t ask for. The girl who had everything he didn’t.“She had a mother,” he thought bitterly, his jaw tightening. “I had him.”His father's face flashed in his mind — sharp eyes, a voice like t
The air hums with quiet tension as the group moves deeper into the heart of the forest. Shadows stretch long beneath the canopy, and the fading sunlight filters through in jagged beams, cutting through the mist that curls along the ground. Each step forward feels heavier than the last, as though the earth itself knows the gravity of what’s to come.The Ritual Stone stands at the center of a wide clearing, a massive slab of ancient rock with deep etchings carved by hands long gone. The sigils glow faintly as if they can already sense the magic in the air. It’s a sacred place — one that has seen countless rituals over the centuries. It will see another today.It is surrounded by small stone basins symbolizing different races of creatures. All the stone basins are connected to the Ritual Stone my magic.Elizabeth stands at the edge of the clearing, her fingers brushing the rough bark of a nearby tree. Her gaze is distant, eyes narrowed on the horizon where the sun slowly dips lower and l
The rhythmic thud of boots against the old wooden bridge echoes in the quiet night. Each step feels like a heartbeat, steady but loud, as if the entire world is holding its breath. Elizabeth's eyes remain half-closed, her head resting against Christian’s shoulder. She’s conscious, but barely. The chill of the night air bites at her wet clothes, but Christian’s warmth seeps into her, a living furnace of protection.Jenny walks just a step behind, her gaze flicking nervously over her shoulder. The forest behind them is a sea of shadowy figures and distant howls. None of the werewolves follow — not yet. But she knows better than to relax. “They’ll be back,” she mutters.“They’ll try,” Christian replies calmly, his eyes fixed on the far end of the bridge. His grip on Elizabeth tightens, just a fraction, as if the mere idea of someone threatening her again sends an unspoken fury through him. “But it won’t end well for them.”The other side of the bridge comes into view — a soft glow of lan
The icy river water clings to Elizabeth’s clothes, seeping into every fiber. She feels weightless but not in a good way. Her limbs are heavy, her body numb, and her vision blurs in and out like a flickering candle. But even through the haze, one thing remains clear — Christian's face.“Stay with me, Elizabeth,” Christian's voice is low, controlled, but there’s a crack of urgency beneath it. His crimson eyes burn with intensity, never once leaving hers as he cradles her like she’s the most fragile, precious thing in the world.Her lips twitch into a faint smile. “You look mad,” she whispers, her voice hoarse and barely audible. “Did I scare you?”“Terrified,” he admits, brushing a thumb over her cheek. His jaw tightens as he takes in the state she’s in — blood-soaked clothes, bruises along her neck, her breath uneven. His gaze shifts to Jenny, his eyes hardening into something colder. “Who did this to her?”Jenny, still panting and soaked from the river, glares back toward the forest.
Jenny’s heart thunders in her chest, her breaths sharp and shallow. The moment Tina and Austin step out from the side path, her instincts scream danger. Her eyes dart to Elizabeth, who, despite her weakened state, narrows her gaze with pure hatred. Blood trickles down Elizabeth’s arm, her pallor more ashen than before, but her eyes — sharp, calculating eyes — are still full of fire.“Well, well, look at you two,” Tina’s voice is laced with smug satisfaction as she steps forward, her smile as sharp as a wolf’s grin. Her eyes, once so familiar, now seem foreign, darkened by envy and betrayal. “Running away like rats. Did you really think you could escape us, Elizabeth?”"Still acting like a queen, huh, Tina?" Elizabeth sneers, though her words are weaker than she would have liked. She grips Jenny's arm for support, her legs wobbling like a newborn fawn. "Guess betrayal suits you better than humility."Austin growls low in his throat, his eyes glowing amber. He cracks his neck, flexing h
And apparently, in that particular moment, each and every god seems to be on their side. Elizabeth's sure she’s run through every ounce of good luck she’s ever been given in her century-long life, because the footsteps don’t stop in front of their hiding place. In fact, they continue down the path, further and further deep into the forest until they fade into the distance.“Holy shit,” Jenny breathes out, voice trembling slightly. “Holy shit .”“Ok. Ok,” Elizabeth says almost deliriously. “Where do we have to go to get to the bank of the river?”Jenny runs a hand through her sweaty golden hair, pushing it back and off of her face. “Somewhere to the west, I think.”Elizabeth takes a deep breath and resists the urge to groan in frustration. “You think? We’re in a life-or-death, run-for-our-lives situation, and that’s the best you can come up with?”“I don’t walk around in this forest like it is my home!” Jenny exclaims. She fumes up momentarily in irritation. “I’ve only been to this for
A heartbeat of time passes; and then all at once, each of them-- Elizabeth, and Jenny-- come to the same decision at the exact same time, completely independent of one another.Adrenaline passes through Elizabeth, blazing hot and sparkling bright like lightning. Move, her brain tells her. Elizabeth doesn’t even have time to think about what she’s doing. One second, she’s standing stock still in shock, and in the next, Elizabeth grips Jenny’s hands, dips at the waist, and gets ready to sprint.Elizabeth doesn’t have a second to fully process that before Tina opens her mouth to say with a snort, “And where do you think y-”Jenny points out a determined finger, and a dagger comes booming out of her hand. It hits Austin square in the chest, sending him catapulting backward out of the door to smash into the tree on the opposite side of the door.In the millisecond of silence immediately after, Jenny screams. “Run!”And Elizabeth takes off.Her ankle shrieks at her to stop as she vaults ove
“Elizabeth…” Jenny says, clearly reading the determination in Elizabeth’s eyes. “I’m sorry. We need you back at the manor. We will try again, please bear with the pain.”Jenny steals her heart and forces herself to hurt Elizabeth again. Elizabeth looks over at her in shock, but a mask of determined resignation coats her face.A wave of nausea spills into Elizabeth’s chest. She can’t stop her voice from trembling as she asks, “Are… are you sure?”“We don’t have a choice right now…”It’s silent in the room for a moment, the drape of quiet only periodically interrupted by the slow drip drip drip of the water. “How are we going to do this?” Elizabeth asks after a second.Don’t think about it don’t think about it don’t think about it“I- “ Jenny darts around the room for anything that could help them remove the chain and something falls into her eyes. She moves to pick it up from the ground.“I- we have a knife.” Jenny swallows hard and palms an angry-looking blade where it rests in her ha
“Did Christian send you? Have you seen him recently? Is he alright?” Elizabeth asks the desperate curiosity tingeing her tone.Jenny is shocked as well, she stands still looking at Elizabeth with what looks like awe and disbelief. Elizabeth’s eyes glow in the dim room brightly like Panther’s. Her pitch-black hair is now turned into auricomous. Elizabeth’s questions snap her out of the trance.“I- No, I didn’t, I don’t know I think it’s bad,” Jenny says with a sigh. She clicks her fingers once more, and the chains tying Elizabeth’s ankles fall apart.Elizabeth winces in relief as the blood flows back into her swollen ankle and bruised wrists. “What do you mean?” she asks as soon as the tingling pain starts to subside.“He- It’s just been… bad since you left,” Jenny says quietly. She shakes her hair and looks over at Elizabeth, who bares her teeth at her. Jenny jumps instinctively, hands up in defense.On unsteady legs, Elizabeth pulls herself to her feet. She firmly ignores the way the
