“Yeah, going to the other clan house,” Josh said, a frown replacing the once sombre features on Alex’s face. His brows dipped, his eyes scanning Josh’s expression.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be back tomorrow morning,” Josh said, Alex shaking his head.
“No, it's not that.”
Alex refused to say more, sighing, now rubbing his neck. “Never mind.”
“Alex, I’ll be fine, apparently there’s some teleportation thingy they set up so we won’t be going outside,” Josh smiled, reassuring Alex slightly but that hardly quenched his worry.
“You’re going with Alaster?” Alex asked, Josh shaking his head.
“Sadly not, he’ll be going off with Amber and Griffin,” Al

A bright light came crashing onto Alex, yellowing his vision despite his closed eyes and hugging his exposed skin in its warm blanket. He took a deep breath, shifting around to try fall back asleep but something was restricting him.His cheek was pressed against something smooth a ticklish feeling snaking up his cheek, playing at his nose. His eyes slowly opened, blinded by the harsh sun bathing his vision gold. Slowly it adjusted, his hand moving over the hard surface he lay on.He turned his head only for his lips to brush against skin, smooth warm skin that brought a tingly feeling upon contact. Alex could barely grasp what was happening, everything still dreamlike.Was it sunny?Alex brought his hand to feel the head that laid beside his, caressing it gently, his eyes tempted to fall back closed. A hand lay nestled around his waist, slightly up his shirt lightly stroking his back.The feeling was nice.Nice.Nice?Alex shot

“Don’t,” Alex warned, raising a finger to Amber who was standing right at the bathroom door where he’d just come out of. He wasn’t ready to explain balls shit to anyone, especially Amber who already knew everything cause god forbid she keep to her own thoughts.“If you already know, why do you have to do this,” Alex groaned, wiping his wet face with his shirt, making his way back to the living where Josh sat patiently awaiting his return.His cheeks were still blazing from the scene from moments ago, his chest tightening each time his mind ran over it. If it wasn’t for Xavier being there at the time, he was quite literally going to bury himself in the couch.“So, you gonna explain or are you gonna keep me waiting?” Josh asked, raising a brow as Alex fell next to him. He let out a loud sigh, playing with his overgrown hair, avoiding his friends stabbing gaze. Thankfully Amber had left him alone although

“I see it’s happening to you as well,” Amber gritted through her teeth, barely paying mind to the middle-aged man walking over to them.“I’m sorry to disappoint but I’m not your principal.”“Alaster!” The two shrieked. Of course that would make the most logical sense. How else could anything weird be explained in a house full of vampires? The Vampires themselves of course.“So you can shapeshift?” Josh asked, Alaster’s form slowly morphing to that that of a voluptuous woman, hair a sandy blonde and eyes a deep brown.“Precisely, but it seems that I can’t control it today,” Alaster smiled, his voice throwing Alex off greatly. Not only did he have the look, but the voice a woman as well, hell if he hadn’t watched I spawn before him, would have believed that the person before him was a woman and nothing else. Thank god Alaster was mannerful or else his power would

Alex fell to his knees at Xavier’s side, hand wrapping around his shoulder to prop him. Xavier’s skin burnt at Alex’s, the room much warmer, and his breath climbing in speed. Each breath was as hallow as the last, beads of sweat climbing at his temples. He could barely keep his head up, let alone stand without any support. Alex helped him to the bed, laying him down and puffing a breath.It was happening to him too.The worry he’d carried from what he’d just witnessed, doubled. His hands fiddling with the hem of his shirt and he chewed at the inner of his cheek. Xavier turned and twisted, Alex frozen there, barely able to form a thought.His eyes darted around the room, his feet carrying him around in hopes of calming his overheating head. He’d never taken care of a vampire, and neither did the classes with Alaster talk about nursing a vampire to health.They weren’t even supposed to get sick!Alex ran a ha

Alex rounded the corner only to stop in his tracks, gaping at the opened door leading to the living room he’d left Josh in. He slowly took a step, eyes fluttering over the chaos breaking loose before him. The red ball of fury was back in action, bouncing off walls with all the vigour of the children’s toy, Amber’s screams echoed throughout the space, Alex cringing at the pitch of her voice. Hunter was wedged into a concrete wall, legs stabbed through the wooden floor boards whilst Josh ran around with a monkey one his head? Alaster was barely able to keep a form, reduced to phasing matter of flesh and Luca was still a stick. The tempt was so incredibly strong to turn and walk back to Xavier but knowing he could at least make Xavier feel better was enough to drive him into the chaos. Xavier would definitely handle this situation better than he ever could. Spiriting in, Alex tried to avoid Bianca in case of another cut, weaving past Josh who was still trying to

Alex took off like there was no tomorrow, his legs carrying him faster than they ever have, his heart beating as quick as each breath. Th icy feeling that had tickled his back now enveloped his whole body, the terror like shackles on his fleeing body. The darkness chased after him, climbing the walls and ceilings around him, licking at his heels ready to consume him whole. Alex grit his teeth, forcing his legs faster, the memory of those hellish nights nauseating him. He raced up the steep stairs, taking two at a time, ignoring the burning in his throat. He ran out the kitchen, the monstrous abyss still hot on his tails, devouring everything he ran past. He bound up more stairs his lungs crying in sweet agony as his whole world turned dark. The dread pulled at his insides as he clambered forward, the fear making his knees weak but it barely kept him back. He saw a light at the end of the hallway, the last of his energy pulling him through. With a sharp turn,

Josh fell onto the couch, letting out a tightened breath, wiping the sweat near his brow. His legs pained, his ears rung and his head burned altogether. His hair was in disarray, curls falling over his eyes completely shielding his vision. He needed a haircut. He barely had time to register what was happening when suddenly he was being attacked by an array of animals shifting over and over, inflicting pain in all manners. But like an angel, in came Luca with the cure to all problems, fixing not just Griffin and his animalistic behaviour, but everyone else too. Hunter unwedged himself in the house, Bianca slowing down and well Luca wasn’t a stick anymore although it certainly beats a floating head. “How?” Josh asked exasperation in his tone. Luca sat beside him, passing him an opened can. “Alex brought the brilliant idea of blood,” he said, Josh frowning. “You’re telling me none of you had thought of that?” Luca scratched the ba

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
Love Bites Chapter 51
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
