2024-10-29 19:42:56Taking a shower never felt so amazing. Having been restricted to a bed for several weeks has really brought a new sense of appreciation for a lot of things. Like hot showers, Alex already greatly appreciated them but it’s definitely been doubled. Also, how he’s able to walk, walking feels amazing and so is standing.
Alex turned the faucet stopping the flow of water, sighing a bit, wishing he could stay there for a bit more but it’s been hours and his fingers were long past the pruning stage. Josh was also kind enough to make him something to eat as a tribute for the assholery portrayed earlier.
Alex stepped out of the shower, the freezing air beating at his exposed skin, a shiver snaking way into his body. He grabbed the towel hanging not too far before wrapping it around himself and moving to the sinks.
He let out yet another sigh, really feeling good. God moving felt so fucking nice. He took his hand through his wettened strands, enjoying the

Alaster wasn’t lying when he said that Alex would actually start training. However, Alex hadn’t received the memo that it’d start at four in the morning! The sun wasn’t even up, yet there Amber was, looming over his drunken form laying comfortably on the couch. “Rise and shine,” She said, Alex blinking multiple times, gazing at her in disbelief. Rise and shine? Rise and shine! There wasn’t even any sun! Alex could barely comprehend if it were even morning. Amber didn’t seem to back down even after the many times Alex tried to delete her presence entirely, hopefully trying to resume his sleep. He didn’t sign up for this shit, no fucking way. Not even school forced them up this early. Amber sighed, Alex hoping he’d achieved victory. Her footsteps loudly shuffled away and just before Alex could sink in anymore, her voice boomed in his head, scaring away all his sleep. “It’d be a shame if Xavier knew.” Oh, the smugness in her tone just sent Alex on edge,

One, two ten times was Alex thrown to the ground, his back having numbed from both the cold and all the force he had to take. What part of the training was this? This was just blatant bullying. And it didn’t help that Amber was the one to inflict this torture. At least if it were Bianca then he’d understand seeing as they obviously had some bad chemistry but Amber… She was supposed to be the nice one.Alex pulled himself up for the hundredth if not thousandth time now, honestly, he’s just lost, count. He held onto his aching arm, staring at amber with hooded eyes as she stood there. Deathly still.The deal was that he was supposed to tag her at least once. This was to test his skills or some shit but then again, this was just harassment. They were vampires, even if he were Usain bolt, there was no way he’d get a finger on her.She did say she wouldn’t use her vampire powers. As if he’d believe that bullshit. Since they&

Stalking out the toilet still feeling like utter dog shit, Alex let out a yawn, peering up at Luca who, just, wow. He really knew how to make a man wish for death.Since arriving in this madman-infested slaughterhouse, Alex only ever came to know of Amber’s powers but now Luca has decided to introduce his and god was it an annoying one.The sheer pain Alex felt when waking up to the sight of Xavier angrily peering down at him like he was no different from that rogue vampire was enough to give one nightmares. And that’s exactly what Alex had to go through when he’d woken up, still too dazed to realize he was actually awake.Even after fully waking himself, he was frozen to the couch, the intensity of the spiteful stare again, summoning hell on earth for Alex. It was not until he heard glass shatter that he saw Luca standing there, smiling like all was well whilst Alex was just about to start panicking.“Wah—" Alex mumbled out,

After that incident, the rest of the session went smoothly. Well, maybe that was a bit of a stretch. After all, nothing beats back pains, foot throbs and death glares, right?Alex finally placed the gun down, heaving a sigh wishing it would end already. His forehead was on fire, his feet were about to drop him and god did it feel like someone was bashing him with a cane.Griffin was looking away so Alex could finally slump his back, something that Griffin was so keen to go against the entirety of the lesson. He also leaned on the table, wondering where everything went wrong.Was he seriously in the middle of a forest getting gunning lessons from two vampires? If someone had told him this before, no, nobody could even cook up crazy shit like this.He was with Vampires!“Are we done?” Alex asked, desperately turning to Luca who was much more approachable than the disturbed cat brooding in the corner. Luca tilted his head a bit, analyzin

Alex held his smile, watching as Xavier took his gaze back down to the bunny, giving it another long stare. He seemed hesitant, Alex stepping closer so that the space between them wasn’t so wide.He still had had his arms outstretched, Xavier finally taking hold of the animal. His hand slowly felt its fur, his head tilting. As microscopic as it was, Alex was able to make out the slight tug at the corner of Xavier's lips, dare he say a smile present in his features?To say Alex was blessed at the moment would be an understatement. He was beyond blessed. He had to take a deep breath to control the emotions spiralling within him, his arm covering up the blush creeping onto his face.The view of Xavier, someone so big and quite intimidating, gingerly holding something so small and delicate in his large hands made for quite the view. The clouds had cleared getting the soft orange rays to coat Xavier in its magnificent halo. It looked surreal; Alex unsure whethe

Alex let out a yawn, hand supporting his head. He sniffled, eyeing the empty whiteboard sitting ahead of him. Day 3 and he was glad to say that he liked the change in scenery. Although he was in a class, it definitely bested the wonders of nature. He was still in his shorts and shirt, barefooted as well, but he’d take smooth concrete for gravel and razor-sharp stones anytime. Alaster, placed down the book he was holding, pushing himself off the desk he was leaned against. Alex watched, well at least he tried with the minimal sleep he got. As much as he wished he could’ve drifted off like sleeping beauty or some shit, he couldn’t. The scene from the previous day continuously thundering in his thoughts, getting him anything but relaxed. Something about the whole thing just made no sense. He desperately wanted to brainwash himself into thinking Xavier had no interest in him. That instance, however, had just gone and messed shit up for him. Lines h

Weeks and weeks of pain-inducing training, feverish heat on blistering cold days and hurt so strong that it could make a grown man scream. Josh could no longer take this disguised abuse, every moment spent with either pair of vampires tugging tears from the depths of his dried reservoir.Time and time again has he been tossed to the ground like some spineless rag doll, his head bouncing off the floors and his spine crying in sweet anguish. His skin, his feet, his everything, screamed in bloody agony as he pushed himself up, dusting his hair from all the grass.He bleakly looked up at the psychotic duo that was Amber and Bianca, both chatting away with not a care in the world. Amber’s laughter almost mocking to his lesser form. He couldn’t take this anymore. Why did he have to train? God knows why a weak and feeble creature, or so they have called, would need to go through this obvious waste of time.For Alex it was understandable, he was a pureblood

Josh let out a yawn walking back into the house, his body never having felt so refreshed. He still hurt though, his feet stinging from the spiky path he was forced down and his skin slightly sunburn from the excessive amounts of sun.His fingers snaked under his curls, rubbing the centre of his forehead where he clearly remembered the coolness of the touch stroking his face. The more he thought of it, the stronger he was convinced that it was all just a dream. A really nice one to add to that.“Good afternoon Josh,” Alaster greeted, Josh forced out of his thoughts, his eyes glancing over at Alaster who stood not too far from him.“Alaster, Hi,” He answered, a warmth taking over his chest. He lightly smiled, Alaster reciprocating that action.“I see you’ve finished your training quite early.”Josh nodded, arm hooking behind his neck. “Yeah, Amber and Bianca had stuff to do.”Alaster smiled

I could definitely get used to waking up like this. Alex was staring at Xavier’s sleeping form, watching the pale eyelashes tremble with each controlled breath. He looked so calm, so ethereal, the blearily light from outside making the vampire glow. He was tempted to caress the pale face but feared disturbing his sleep. He had awoken much earlier at the excitement of seeing Jamie after what felt like years, the thought jabbing at him to spring out of bed to start getting ready even if dawn had just broke. Instead, he burrowed into the arms already holding him, breathing in the heavenly scent and trying to convince himself that it wasn’t weird. They hadn’t labelled anything but surely whatever they had done allowed for his current actions now. If not, oh well. Alex eventually found sleep, awaking again at Xavier’s insistence. The sun seemed fully awake now though it was hard to tell with the heavy clouds plaguing the sky. They spent no time getting ready, walking downstairs to find

Alex’s drawn brows shot up in surprise, noticing the leaves now stuck in his friend’s hair and the dirt staining the not so obvious places on him. His freckled skin had patches of mud and his hair even seemed a little damp.“What, what happened?” Alex stuttered, trying his very hardest, to feel bad but finding it a tiny bit funny.“Xander that mother fucker. I just know it was him, he was the one to coincidentally find me, with some shit eating grin. And I had no fucking idea where we were so I had to accept his help!” Josh was basically screeching, Alex having to put his hand over his mouth to hide the wobbly smile fighting its way onto his face.“And then?”“THEN! He wanted compensation and said I should let him have a taste. What else could he taste!”Alex had to shake his head a bit when his ears rung. He took a deep breath, both trying to calm his amusement and also little worried at the almost crazed look on Josh’s face.“So uh, how does that lead to you screaming my name first

Alex watched as Xavier struggled to speak, ultimately saying nothing. Alex finally calmed himself, sitting up, Xavier giving him the space too. Alex kept his hand over Xavier’s, afraid that if he let go he wouldn’t get another chance to.Alex watched, Xavier now avoiding his gaze, almost as if he were ashamed. He hated seeing even a slither of such emotion being present with Xavier. He wanted to wipe the feeling away, make sure the other was never plagued by any of the negative feelings present.Alex was reminded of the day Xander had first appeared and how Xavier, for the first time he had ever seen, was expressive and now was the same. Just a different emotion.Mimicking the actions of earlier, Alex brought his forehead against Xavier’s forehead and this seemed to surprise him.“Alex,” Xavier finally spoke, shivers shaking Alex’s entirety.“I’m here,” Alex answered, his thumb caressing Xavier’s hand, comforting him in his own way.A particularly strong gust blew into the room tousli

A rose scent awoke Alex, his eyes squinting at the harsh sunlight beating down on him. He shifted, sitting up from his grassy bed, endless fields of swaying weeds filling his vision. The scent grew stronger, calming his mind and relaxing his body. Alex stood, looking around soon identifying a woman not too far from him. Her midnight black hair danced in the sun, her back turned to him. He walked towards her, his bare feet carrying him forward but he made no progress in his journey. The longer he walked, the faster he came to the realization that he wasn’t going to get any closer so he stopped, watching the mysterious figure. As if only sensing him now, she turned, her piercing amber eyes stabbing into the depths of his soul. She watched him just as he watched her. A light smile graced her features, one that blossomed her beauty to an immeasurable level. She mouthed something but no words left her rosy lips. Before anything else could happen, she vanished with the breeze, Alex gaspin

Shifting awake, Alex pried open an eye only for his heart to launch itself at the sight of Josh staring wide eyed at him. With a click of his tongue to let his annoyance be known, he let his hand run over his face, drawing his brows at the other who held off the intense look to instead turn to face the ceiling.“Last time I was up first , Xander was standing there ready to bite our heads off,” Josh said, Alex letting out an annoyed mumble.“So, you waited till I got up first, no you woke me up with that stupid ass stare of yours, just so I could lose my head first?” Alex grumbled, his voice grating against his throat, taking satisfaction when the other flinched away at his bad breath.Sitting up, Alex scanned the room, making sure there was no vampire ready suck em dry before jabbing at Josh’s head.“He’s not here,” Alex spoke, throwing his legs over the edge of the bed, stretching his back and sighing at the pop. As satisfying as that was, he just wished he could have a decent night

Sitting up with a groan, Josh turned to look at Alex who was staring intently at something. Turning to focus on what it was, Josh had to squint quite a bit to make out a figure standing just at the start of the forestry, his white hair the only thing to identify the man.Really anything else was too far for him to see.He threw his friend another glance, knowing that their spar was definitely over now. Giving an encouraging pat to his love sick friend, Alex gave him a parting head nod and like that he watched the other walk off, almost in envy.How nice it must be to like someone that much and have it reciprocated.He didn’t know where he stood with Alaster. Spending more time with the male hadn’t changed anything, if anything he’d just grown to respect the vampire more but romantically it sat at something he was happy not pursuing.At least that’s what he told himself.He wasn’t so sure he’d be as lucky as Alex and he was still dipping his toes in the deep pool of genuinely liking so

“What if that dude actually eats me or something.” Josh finally confessed in a quiet voice.Alex was silent for a while before humming in acknowledgment. Amber had said the vampire wouldn’t hurt Josh but he chose not to entirely trust her. Not yet at least. Xander was just as strong as Xavier, what was holding the vampire back from harming any of them in Xavier’s absence?Josh slammed him with a pillow at his silence, Alex finally letting out a laugh. Getting out an agreement through his giggles, he finally calmed, falling back onto the covers.“Man, it’s been a while since I’ve slept on a bed,” Alex sighed, Josh, now silently staring at Alex.“I don’t mind you taking the floor,” Josh said, Alex shushing him with a pillow to the face.“As if, you just want the bed to yourself don’t ya.”*Xavier had returned to sitting at the edge of the bed when a rough knock came at the door, interrupting the deadly silence of the room. Before the person could even open the door, a deep scowl had al

Alex stood in front of Xavier door, trying to calm the bubbling nerves cooking inside him. Xavier was much less intimidated when he acted like a drunk kitten but after the whole ordeal that transpired just minutes ago, well that kitten just turned to a ferocious lion.Alex raised his hand to knock on the door only to drop it again and ruffle his hair.Come on, there’s nothing to scared of. Yeah. He’s only just really mad after encountering the person he seems to really despise after only recovering from some once in a thousand-year sickness type of thing. Yeah, its totally fine!Alex bit his lip, ready to yank his hair from all the overthinking.You’re overreacting, just go in.Taking the deepest breath that made him a bit tipsy, Alex finally knocked on the door. It was a bit quiet but he still knocked. There wasn’t an answer for a while and Alex was sure Xavier hadn’t heard him.As he was debating whether to knock again or just leave, the door swung open and there Xavier stood, tower
Love Bites Chapter 50
Brother?Xavier has a twin Brother!As those words left the strangers mouth, his crazy orange hair gradually turned a shiny black that was on par to a new moon’s midnight, the chains once holding him dropping to the ground producing a dull sound that caused Alex to flinch.Xavier’s expression had no changes. As if silently agreeing to the notion.Xavier has a brother!Alex felt dizzy from the sudden information slammed at him, his brain taking a few minutes to reboot itself.Now brazenly staring at the so-called brother, Alex scanned the others features, squinting his eyes to make sure he wasn’t imagining all this. Only now that the announcement was made did the others featured subtly change to one that looked exactly like Xavier’s.They weren’t just any twins, they were identical! How was someone who looked as pure and holt as Xavier, closely related to someone who was very likely to be the spawn of Satan. It didn’t take a genius to figure that this brother was up to no good.Questio
