Liam POV
How come had I still not figured out who she was? It was right there all along .., my savour, my light... My mate. And soon to be my bride. How long have I been waiting for her to come into my life? All this time my sanity was eaten slowly piece by piece by my darkness.
She wants to win. To destroy this world and bring hell to the ground. I have tried so hard to beat my enemy.., myself. Listening to what she wants, the horrible things it makes me do but still I'm not strong enough to defeat her. I need her..., my mate. Only that way I can save myself and this world from her.
" Common brother we have to go there????" Dean said.
Dean is my younger brother. We've always had a good relationship because we've always been inside our kingdom walls. Never going out. My dad said it's not safe for the prices to walk outside that world. There were hundreds of people out there who would want to kill us. We're... Vampires....., that's what we are and that's all we know.
Catch the prey and drain them out of the blood. Destroy the evidence. Despite being reckless vampires we all have our..... "superpower". We are born this way. And my superpower is " Darkness ". My mom says that my grand grandmother destroyed one city when possessed by her darkness. Hundreds of people were murdered and hundreds of others lost everything.
I have always tried to manage the darkness inside me but growing up it became more difficult. It doesn't matter how much I try, it will always find her way out. That till I changed the world I lived in. I figured where the "secret passage" was. Only the ones with the right ability can find it and go through that portal. Only the chosen ones.
Since I found that portal my life has been easier. It was a whole new world out there, different from our kingdom. I begged my parents when I was younger so that we could live here, and after a long time, they expected that we build a life here. We spend most of our time here, at least. My dad is a businessman. We have a chain of hospitals here in New York. My mom is a doctor. She's been doing this work for all I can remember now.
" It's not a party again Dean, is it?"
I have enjoyed my life up here. Meeting new people, having fun. I love to drink so I've had a routine of going to these parties with a girl on my hands as well. Easy to get what I want here.
" It is a party, but it's big bro?? "
" How big Dean? " Now he understands that.
" Liam I'M GOING. You do what you want. I heard all the prettiest girls will gather there. Just saying.."
" I'll see then. Let me check my agenda."
" What...., any girl you have left to fuck tonight? "he said smirking.
" Stop it, you idiot. I said I'll give it a thought. "
" Be there at eight, okay? "
He is such an ass sometimes. I don't even like the girls up here. They're too easy to get. Plus I'm like a ticking bomb, I need to find my code. I'm just hoping it won't be too late. Mom says you'll know your mate the moment you touch her, the moment her eyes meet yours, that moment u understand she's the only person u need in this world.
It's almost 7:30 so I have 30 min to get ready and go to the party. I took a shower first, then wore a white t-shirt with my leather jacket on. My black pants and Nike Air trainers. Just like the other days. I stand before the mirror, put the cream on my face, style my hair a bit and... Ready. No.., I forgot my perfume. Today I'm putting Armani, my favourite.
Took my car keys and drove to the party. I enter the door and immediately notice Dean. As I was about to go there, someone yells at me. She seriously looked way too drunk to speak with.
"Heyy, stopp!! Where are u going?? Your tall man... I am talking to you."
Now that was shocking. Tall man..., who says that.
" With whom....., me?" I replied.
" I am looking at you, ain't I now?"
She got a hella attitude. And I am not a give me attitude person as well.
" What do you want?" I cut it short.
" In case u haven't noticed, my earing, is stuck. In your jacket and if u move I think my whole ear is going to fly in the air. "
Yeah right! She doesn't know what she is talking about. But I decided to drop it. I couldn't handle a drunk person, especially a girl as beautiful as she was. So I just...
" Yeah, sorry. Let me help you." I said.
As I was trying to realise my earing her phone started buzzing.
"Ohh noo, mom. What am I going to do now??" she said sounding worried.
" Heyy, handsome face, we need to move out. I have to speak with my mom. She is going to kill me if I don't open this. " she finishes.
Handsome face. Now I like her more. She knows how to make men fall in love.
" Heyy, you okay? " I said.
Without waiting for a reply, she drags me out of that place to go far away from the party.
" Where are we going? What are u doing?" I say.
She holds my hand tight till we are far away from the party. That moment I felt it. What my mom was talking about, the mate.., the touch, everything. I can feel it. It was here. She was the one, my mate.
" Look, stay quiet. I need to speak with my mom," she ordered.
I nodded without questioning her words.
" Mom, hello! Can you hear me?" she asked.
I could hear her mom shouting from the phone. But I focused on letting go of that earing first. She hang up the phone and she looked angry.
" Heyy, it's done?! " I said.
" Sorry, what's done ?? " she replied.
" The earing..?" I replied quietly.
Her head was now realised from my chest and I took a moment to admire her beautiful face and amazing body. She gave me a clear view when she removed the hair from her face placing them to one side of her neck leaving the other part completely open. No, she shouldn't do that. I can't control myself now. She was staring at my eyes and I did the same. Those green eyes, I looked deeply at her and I saw all the pain she was feeling. And then my eyes moved to her lips. Shift that red lipstick was making me capture those lips and take her breath away. Tattoo my lips on hers.
Then I felt her hand slowly touching mine placing her little fingers inside mine. She was so warm and soft. I couldn't help but held her hand tight against mine. Until she... Came closer to me and out of nowhere placed a kiss on my lips. I was shocked. I kept my eyes open until an inner voice told me now it's your turn to return the kiss. What are u waiting for? I would do it but... She was drunk. I didn't want her to regret this moment. She is yours, Liam. Always was, always going to be. She is my mate after all.
It didn't take long before I returned the kiss by pulling her by her lower back next to my body. I deepened the kiss and Now I was more sure than ever that she was the one. She was enjoying the kiss and that made me smirk and bite her on the side of her lip. Now everyone would know she was mine and mine only. I saw her lip bleeding and cursed myself for that. I must have been too harsh on her. I backed away just a few centimetres to let our breaths tangle together for a moment before circling my tongue around her lip to stop the bleeding. She tasted delicious. I pulled her back to give her a light peck on the lips before she pushed me to ask.. :
"Where are we?"
She blacked out looking straight through my eyes before I realised where we were. How did she know this place?
`` CERCY ``I still can't believe what Liam is doing...!! Ufff, he is pressuring me into this. He knows you, lying girl, that's why. If u had listened to me, you wouldn't be sitting here like that. Yeah because you're always making the best decisions, right?Let's update you guys. I learned the hard way that Liam was the one whom I had kissed and hella enjoyed the night of the party. I am too ashamed to accept, so I decide to play the fool. But it seems that Liam is not a fan of this, playing him around, and has started to ask random questions out of nowhere, to... let's say make me remember. As I said, when I built a wall, there is no human force who can destroy it, unless... It's not a human, right. No. Not just kidding. I have a good defense." So,
"Liam, what are you doing here?"I saw Liam standing right in front of me, inside of my bedroom. What was he doing here? Where did he find my address? What's going on?" You, I came for you. I missed you."Missed me? What in the..!"Liam, you can't be here. You shouldn't miss me. We aren't a thing or soo..., what you are doing is called stalking. I'm going to call 911."" You wish!"" What?!! Are you alright? Have you hit your head? Noo, no, have you lost your mind?"" You feel it, don't you? The connection,..., the feeling...., the scent. I know you love it, you miss it.., you wan
For God's sake, can't Liam act normal for once? I know he keeps doing this because of me pretending not to know him, but still ..., the way he acted towards Rob today, like I am some kind, in his possession, just doesn't make any sense. I know we have a connection between us and I know I can't deny it anymore, and this always gets me thinking "Why do I feel like this" he is rude to everyone, doesn't care about anyone but himself, so self - obsessed... but when I look at him all I see is a lost puppy, smiling at me, giving me his shiny blue eyes, making my heart melt for a second. But that's it. I'm not gonna let myself get seduced by two gorgeous eyes and a pretty smile. I am not weak anymore and I'm not gonna let anyone break my heart again. I'm not gonna let another Den in my life. Let's
" Shush" was all he said realizing a warm breath on my neck that tickled my skin. He places a finger on my lip, telling me I shouldn't talk anymore. This left me speechless for a moment. I did not expect Rob to do that... Not in a million years. I stood there like a lost girl, stoned till I felt Rob's lips move away from my neck. I keep my gaze at him still shocked by what he did. He wasn't looking at me. His eyes were looking somewhere else. Somebody else. I turn my head to see where Rob's eyes were pointing. And then I see him... Liam... Furious like I have never seen him before. I could see his jaw clenched and his eyes were looking at me like daggers to be triggered. I felt my knees shaking and a lump had formed in my throat, not allowing m
Cercy Pov " If he touches one piece of your hair again, I swear I gonna cut his head off and bring it on a plate to you? `´ his lips inches from mine. `´ NO ONE TOUCHES WHAT'S MINE.´´ Breathe. Are we clear, darling? " More than clear, handsome face. Did he just threaten me? I liked it, though! Except it! You like it tough too.Stop it, stupid conscious. " Woww? Now, I'm getting scared. " I giggle at him. " Are you, now? " he says teasingly. " Ehee.. " there goes the flirting. &
CERCY POV The car was another dimension. I have to have this. I felt his gaze on me, but I was just pretending I couldn't understand him. Fuck, I want this car. " I want you," Liam says. Guess I said that out loud. " Khhhkh, so thanks for letting me drive. This is my dream car and it was my dream to ride a car like this one." " Just tell me all your dreams and I'll make them all true." he finishes. That is so romantic. Never thought Liam could be so cute. " Always for you" he then said. As if he could hear
Cercy povRight now, it's just me and him. Nobody else, just two young people who feel something towards each other and a burning flame in those poor hearts.He gets up, sitting behind me, applying sunscreen on my shoulder. As an irony, he does exactly what I did to him. Putting it on and massaging there. He realizes a breath that comes as cold air in my shoulder. Then continues with the neck, placing some circling moves there. Now... I do understand how he felt." Hey, dude, apply sunscreen not massage her!" said Rob with a heavy tone.He doesn't listen to him and keeps doing it on my neck again, placing a gentle kiss there. I quickly turn around looking at him, for the action he just did. He didn't look s
~ Cercy ~I'm not weak. Then why do I fu*ing act like this when I'm around Liam. Why can't I just shout at him, yell at him for what he is doing? Why do I feel like my heart is in a racing game and my knees are being broken ready to fall? Why does it have to be like this?Why can't I be the one in control? The one always a step further, the one to take risks, be the bad guy? I want to yell at him, push him away, he doesn't get to do this, but the voices..., they never stop. Like a hungry wolf, they are waiting for Liam to make a move like our life depends on this, and just like this, I let these inner voices break through my walls and decide what am I going to do next.I take a deep breath..., close my eyes for a second to hear t
I was hoping it wasn't all a dream, but even if it was one, I wish I could stay like this for a while. Maybe in the morning, I wouldn't feel so empty and lonely inside. Maybe this could fix my broken heart, maybe seeing him in my dream was enough or maybe... chasing stars means falling into space.I opened my eyes, my head still resting on the pillow below. I was just gazing at the sight in front of me. The gorgeous man, lighted by the moon, holding his son on his shoulder, saying sweet things in baby language. That little thing looked so good on him.I could still make some differences. From the side, I was looking. He looked more of a man. Wider shoulders, sharp jaw, and I would say a scarier look on his eyes.., the oceanic eyes I would spend hours looking at before going to sleep. This time it was different. He had changed the last year.Even though I was scared that even if I spoke everything I had in front of me would decipher, I still believed and took a deep breath to say the ne
" I'm leaving you home but I'm staying here on weekdays for sure. Just make sure to tell your parents... I'm sure they won't get mad at you"" Yeah... I'll just sleep at the moment. And I'll find a better time and tell them."" Okay. Be safe"" Bye"After Rob left I went straight to my room and dialed Liam's number again. Maybe this time he would pick it up. I needed to tell him this.I dialed it once or twice but still no response. I decide to leave a message for him. That's what I'm gonna do every time I'll come from my doctor. Maybe one day he will listen to these messages and feel all the stuff I felt.Hey Liam,It's Cercy again. I have some big news for you today. I'm sure you would be so happy about this if you were here. I'm pregnant Liam. And it's a boy. Like I wanted. You remember that day when we were talking about kids and you told me you wanted a girl first... Well, it's a boy. And he is so little. Inside of me now, growing little by little. I had my first appointment toda
After 3 months:" Princess, are you ready?" I hear Rob call my name from behind the door." Yeah, a minute, and I'm done!"It's graduation day. The school year is finally over. It's been three months since I last heard from Liam. I sent him a lot of voice messages the first month, cause it still hurts that he left that way..., but still no response. Maybe he doesn't even use that phone anymore.. Or maybe Sam is right. Maybe he forgot about me. I still wish he would come back and explain everything. I would forgive him, even after everything I've been through after the breakup.I couldn't stop crying and my family thought I was going through depression. I lost a lot of weight lately and cut almost everyone from my life, except Rob. He has been standing all the time with me, helping me out, and even made me leave my house back then. He planned a trip to the east side of the town. He has been a very good support and a wonderful friend these times and I have done nothing to deserve that
Circ,My mate, my love, my beasty girl,I never thought someone would make me smile and laugh as much as you do.. until I saw how much you could make me sad and empty at the same time. Maybe it's love..., maybe it's heartbreak. Or maybe it's because I fell too hard.Never thought I would be able to love or to be loved. Never thought I would love a person so much, to do anything for her not to get hurt. We spent some time together... It's deep in my memory... It's gonna live with me forever. I've lived some of my best moments with you. And you know we even thought about kids' names. I wish we could live all the dreams we had. I wish I would be the one to hold your hand at the alter.. Or when you're giving birth.. Or even when we're taking care of a baby throwing up...I started dreaming again thanks to you Cerc. I believed I could have a happy ending. I got used to your morning kisses or the way you spelled my name to make me angry. I got used to your vanilla skin next to mine.. Or wat
~ Cercy ~I was running through the school halls, trying to find Liam, but he was nowhere to be found. I also tried to reach him through the phone but it went straight to voicemail. I checked the parking lot as well, but his car wasn't there anymore.I was just leaving the girl's bathroom when someone grabs my hand. I turn around to see Rob's smiling face wave a hand at me." Hey Rob, what's up?"" Hey, princess"" Look," we both say at the same time. Then an awkward smile appears on both of our faces. " You go" he then says." Okay," I nood and exhaled a deep breath. " I know that lately, we haven't been spending a lot of time together... But after I said those things to you... I felt like. I was playing with your feelings. Like I didn't care about you... Or our friendship. And I do. I want to be with you, Rob. And love you as a friend... "" Cercy, I know. I told you from the very beginning that if this didn't work we would still be together... With each other... As friends.
" I think I heard you moaning.... Some moments ago. I thought you were with a guy or you have sexual dreams, chica"" Mom, the hell you saying?"Do you think I need that." As you can see noone is here" I say gesturing at the room"" Good" she says and turns at me. " Get down, we're having breakfast... And call Liam as well"" Okayyy momm, just goo"I wait for mom to leave the room and put a crop top on and a pair of leggings to check on Liam." Babe, you ready..." I searched the room but he wasn't there. I thought he'd be here after he left.." Behind you" he whispers at my ear." Where were you?""Around... Since you throw me away from your room"" Stop playing the kid.. And let's go get breakfast.. We have school."We head downstairs and eat breakfast to leave for school. Liam takes the car keys but throws them at me immediately, just when I give him ' the look'. He knows me very well." Why do you go to school anyway? " I ask him." Do all vampires go to school?"" They don't.." he
After four months :Since my last kidnapping, our lives have changed. Liam has become overprotective and won't leave me alone not even for a second.After that night at the lake, we've been good to each other, no more acting childish or clingy. He's been taking really good care of me since he can't stop blaming himself for the things that happened some months ago. He is still living in our house in the room next to mine, even though he has been sleeping next to me these past months. He won't leave me alone..and I cannot say that I don't like it. I like him, sleeping next to me, cuddling with me, and don't even get me started on the sexual tension between us. I've been taking care of that myself, not to forget to take the pill every day, since Liam is the one which can't keep his dirty hands off my body.I am sleeping on my bed when I hear the door crack open. I knew exactly who that was." Liam, what are you doing again?" I ask as I turned the light on "I thought we discussed this..,
" CERC, wake up!" I hear Liam whisper my name in my ear." What... It's not seven yet mom"For a moment everything seemed normal, like those days my mom was shouting my name for me to go downstairs and not be late for school.Like. Why was I always late for school, anyway? I miss school, I miss my mom, my stupid brother.., I miss my old life.I open my eyes and recognise that I wasn't at my place. It was Liam's room. And then I get a flashback of all the things that happened the past days. I turn around and watch Liam wink an eye at me." What Liam?" I ask annoyed." You've slept enough b," he says, pulling me out of the bed. "Come the breakfast is ready. Take a shower and wear that dress over there...I'll be waiting for you downstairs. Hurry up"" But Liam..., please it seven.., I don't eat this early"" Cercy, you have an hour!"" pfff, okay... I'll be down soon."Ugh, this guy. I never wake up this early and he is making me take a shower now. I'm too lazy for that." You can't be
~ Cercy ~This wasn't a breakup, was it? Not. He won't dare think this is it. After all, I've been through I won't leave like this. This is not what I deserve after all. I'm not done yet.I turn around once more since I wasn't that far from the door and I can still hear the breaking noises coming out of his room. I do feel sorry for him, but I feel bad for myself as well.I open the door quickly, I wasn't facing Liam at first but as soon as he hears the door opening he turned around looking at me with a surprised but satisfied look on his face. He didn't talk.., he was just gazing at me.., tears rolling down his face, and don't even get me started with the eyes. They were red like he had been crying for hours... I do feel bad for him now.I walk towards him, determined what to say and do. I walk till I'm the closest to him...,until I feel his breath tickle my forehead.I exhale a deep breath and pat my index finger on his chest one time." How dare you, say that to me, huh?"Then ag
