Unwelcomed Guest

"You heard him right, my dear, Cecelia." claims the other wolf. "He is the owner of the club you used to spend a few nights with your friends."

"And also the reasons why we managed to know where your alpha dad lives," says Marcos. If he claims to be the owner of the club behind me, his name is Marcos.

Whatever they want from me perhaps has something to do with my dad after knowing they are of the same kind; monsters. Alpha? Is that what they called my dad?

But knowing about their connections with each other is the last of my worries at the moment. I still have my bleeding leg to attend to. I believe that if the wounds will not be cured as soon as possible, I might collapse or worse death await me.

"Please, don't kill me," I beg them, then adjusted my body when my leg starts to get numbed. "If you need money, I'm so sorry, I didn't bring cash with me. How much do you want?"

I try to reach for my sling bag but my hands could barely reach it because what my body could feel is the unbearable pain that I felt in my right leg. I simply wanted to get my bank card to give to them.

"Your dad's head is what we want, Cecelia," Marcos said, his words stopped me halfway through getting my sling back. "Money is not the issue for me, and you know that."

What? What does he have to do with dad's head? Did dad do something to them?

"Those long curve lines written on your forehead tell me that you still don't know who your father really is. Of course, how could you know? You're a human and he is the alpha of his werewolf pack."

"He's a monster, Cecelia." says the other wolf. "He killed my entire family. And to get him, we have to get to you first."

"Then you have to get passed through me first." a familiar voice of a man suddenly appeared behind them.

Despite the difficulty breathing, let alone the thought that my eyes were about to give up, my consciousness still managed to recognize the man's face. Gaius, my knight in shining armor.

He then smiled at me.

The wolves immediately turned around and faced Gaius. They barked at him in unison but Gaius remained calm and cool as though he does not possess any signs of worry or fear while staring at those glimmering blue eyes.

"Open your eyes, Cecelia," he uttered. Perhaps he already noticed that my body is about to give up because of too much blood that was ejected out of my leg. "You'll gonna die if you close your eyes."

Medically speaking, I don't know the connection between closing my eyes from dying, but I followed Gaius' advice. So I stayed my eyes open and saved my breath to wait for him to save me and rush me to the hospital.

"I did not expect to have this in you attacking your avid customer, Marcos," he added. "If your werewolf kind had issues with her dad, do not use her to get to him. Is that how werewolf works these days?"

From the way, my brain understand the situation, Gaius also recognized the owner of the club. Perhaps he is also one of them. Dad once told me to stay away from him because he has a secret that I should be worried about.

"Stay away from this mess, Gaius. We know the curse system befallen in your vampire kinds." Marcos said before he turned his face back at me.

What? Did he just say Gaius is a vampire? Does that mean dad is right about him? And what is this cursed system he was talking about?

"We know you can't kill us," Marcos added before he ordered the other wolf to get me. "But, we can kill you." then he bends his knees and jumps on top of Gaius while the other wolf is rushing in my direction.

My brain wanted to run but my body was no longer aligned to respond to my escape plan. The numbness that I felt had already reached my chest. And my entire body was feeling cold and wet in sweat. Perhaps this is a natural feeling when someone is about to die.

To my surprise, the wolf who rushed in my direction was raised to the air when he was about to lay a hand on me. He was raised and attacked by those tiny bats.

When I glance back at Gaius, I was taken aback when half of his body was fighting with Marcos with those tiny bats coming in and out of his body.

I wanted to scream when the other wolf dropped its body next to me, heartless. However, my voice did not come out of my mouth. Instead, I only heard the whooshing sounds of cold air and a short whimper coming from my mouth.

"Who says I cannot kill?" Gaius said to Marcos. "I just did to your cousin, Blake. It means that you are next." his body returned to its complete shape when the tiny bats went back to him.

All the incident that happens today was too hard to bear. My feeble brain isn't prepared to learn and accept this kind of information as it was completely beyond the human imagination.

I finally dropped half of my body to the ground. But I saw Gaius feeding his mouth with Marcos' heart in a rush as though he has not eaten in days. So, I close my eyes, trying to remove, delete, and reformat those terrible images that were captured and registered in my system.

"Gaius, what are you doing? Stop it!"

"Control your urge for blood. You already killed two. It's already two days' deduction from your lifeline."

"Take her away from here. She's a human."

"Dude, isn't she the woman in the club the other night Gaius wants to hit on?"

Those were conversations coming from different male voices around me before one of them lifted my body and started moving. There were three of them excluding Gaius. Perhaps they were his friends of vampires.

But where are they taking me?

A few minutes later, the one carrying me set my body on a flat wooden surface. Someone began frisking my body, tearing my clothes apart.

Wait. Are they going to take advantage of my dying body? Oh, my goodness. I haven't done that before yet the three of them are going to do that to me. Not one, but three.

"Do have any idea what happens to Gaius?" one of them asks while putting pressure on my wounded leg. As far as my knowledge serves me right, he is cleaning and sewing up my wound.

"Beat me." the one with a sweet and gentle voice retorted. "does any of you craved blood recently?"

"Not me." says the one who is sewing my wound. "we have experienced a shortage of blood in our fridge only once or twice, remember?"

"It was because I tasted Cecelia's blood on our first meeting back in the club." my ears were pretty sure that voice comes from Gaius. "I don't know how, but there is something in her blood that awakens my sleeping vampire. Everything activated all of a sudden including my thirst for blood. There is this part of me that wants more of her blood. I want to suck all her blood until nothing is left..."

Gaius' voice started to fade off. And my brain was also feeling deprived of the power of sensation. I don't know what happened but I guess it has something to do with the one injecting something into my shoulder.

"Get some rest, my dear, Cecelia." says the one next to me. And I don't seem to like the way he let out those words.
