“How's the date anyway?” He asked me. I looked around for Javier but I couldn't find him. “Okay I guess. Not feeling the sparks just yet. How's yours?” I responded. “It's hardly a date.” He said and looked at Melissa who was swaying her hips to the music. “She thinks differently.” I said, also taking her in. “There's no brain in there. She bores me.'' He said and he looked at me. “Maybe she's good in bed.” I said and instantly regretted that. If I could hit myself right now, I would hit myself unconscious. Damon grinned and took another sip of his drink. “Nah, she wouldn't be. I think she would be a 2/10.” I looked around and pointed at a woman with long blonde hair and a neon pink mini dress. “What about her?” I asked him. He looked as well and answered immediately, “3/10 with five more Whiskeys.” I pointed at a woman with short brown hair, leather pants and a shirt which was cut up and had holes in it. I looked at Damon with a question in my eyes. He turned around. “A strong 7/10 I w
I went over the night, it all being a bit fuzzy. My heart pumped thinking about Damon. I can't believe what happened. I closed my eyes, thinking about his hands, his eyes, his words and his.... I cannot believe that I danced with a teacher in a busy night club, full on grinding on him. I grinned, not feeling the embarrassment yet and enjoying the rush it gave me. He was unbelievable sexy. 'I'll keep you forever...' Did he really say that? I felt myself getting wet thinking about him. What would've happened if Kenna didn't interrupt us?As I sobered up though, I thought back about all the things that were off. What did he do with Javier? What did he mean by 'his mate' and how did he drink SO much alcohol while not even seeming that drunk? And the part about healing me.. I thought back about the night of the explosion and how supposedly my burns just magically disappeared. Not to mention his speed, which didn't freak me out as much at the time but thinking back now, I really should have
By Saturday afternoon I was still tired as a dog and I spent the whole day lounging with Moose. I didn't want to go back to the forest again, instead playing tug of war with Moose in the garden and throwing three tennis balls at the same time and laughing at Moose trying to pick them up all at once. I charged my phone, seeing 100 worried messages from my friends and some from Javier. I told my friends in the group chat what had happened and they all went in panic mode. Logan immediately got into his car and drove over. Kenna called the police, explaining the story and they told her they would check the area and put a news message out.I heard Logan's car on the road and jogged out with Moose to greet him. ''Chica, come here.'' Logan said with open arms. I let myself drop into them and he started rubbing my back. We stayed there for a while, hugging in the middle of the street and I could feel the tension leaving me. ''Let me make you a drink inside. I packed my stuff, I will stay with
I looked at my outfits, trying to think what mood I felt in. Cute, sexy, bad-ass, basic, comfy? I decided for black jeans, black biker boots and a tight burgundy red spaghetti strap top. I did feel bad-ass although my boobs were definitely a bit on show. I did my hair and make up, letting my long brown hair fall down my back in soft waves and putting on light make up. I let Kenna know I was ready early and she sent me three shocked faced emojis and said she was on her way.''Woohoo Tris you slay today!!'' Kenna shouted to me from the car. I put my sunglasses on and ruffled my hair for extra effect and she beeped her horn three times. I got in laughing and sat down. She came over and gave me a big hug. ''I'm so sorry about what happened on Friday, the fucking psycho will get what's coming to him. And I'm also so happy about your mom.'' Kenna said in my hair. ''Thanks, Ken. I'm okay and I'm so happy that mom is okay. I won't walk back home alone anymore.'' I said, hugging her back. I sa
Song: I found - Amber RunI watched Beatrice Madden walk away from me, her skin on show and her long legs accentuated by her tight jeans and boots. She was the most divine woman I have ever laid my eyes on. She walked into the school out of my vision and I let out a deep sigh. Kylee was still talking, walking too close to me and all I wanted to do was to get her out of my sight. ''Why don't you email what dates you are available? I can schedule you in later this week.'' I said to Kylee. She looked at me with big eyes and her shirt tugged down way too low. ''But I would really like to talk with you.'' She responded to me, almost putting her hand on my arm. I rolled my eyes at how she said 'talk' and stopped her walking. ''Get to class. Email me.'' I said and walked away from her.I went to my office, a certain girl stuck in my head and I felt myself getting hard thinking about Friday. F*ck, I can't believe Kenna interrupted us. I thought about the way her ass was grinding on me and her
Are you guys ready for this ;)I was waiting in front of the classroom, standing next to Kenna, Jane and Logan. Kylee was talking about her upcoming appointment with Damon, who she called by his first name now. I was so NOT looking forward to having this class with Kylee and hearing his name every minute. I heard Kylee gasp and turned around, seeing Damon walking our way with papers in his hands. ''Afternoon class,'' he said and opened the door and walked in. No way. He looked back at me but I quickly looked away.''Are you our teacher today?'' Kylee said with a yelp. ''Yes. Everybody sit down and shut up.'' Damon said with authority. I raised one eyebrow at him and sat down next to Logan, opposite of Kylee and Hailee. Everybody fell silent, waiting for next instructions. Alright. I don't know what it is you're supposed to be doing but it's group work, right?'' Damon asked the class. Nobody answered. ''Right?'' He asked again. ''Yes, sir.'' The class replied. ''Then get to work.'' He
The Hills by the Weeknd was playing in the background, the melody resounding in my head. His hand that rested on my neck glided down over my breast, feeling my hardened nipple. He groaned and his hand was lowering to my lower back where my shirt had ridden up. His fingers touched bare skin and he growled, putting his head in my neck and inhaling deeply. His hand widened on my back, feeling as much skin as possible. ''My treasure.'' He said, so softly I almost didn't hear it. Somewhere far, far away in my head I thought about a certain flower I once received in my locker but that thought quickly went, my body urges more important. I wanted nothing more than to relieve the tension I felt down there and I ground my opening against his c*ck, feeling it getting harder and harder for me. He grabbed my other leg, swung it over his other hip so I was flying with my legs open wide for him. I wound my legs around him and locked my feet together. He supported me with his body and I felt his full
Once I was in bed I really started to think about what happened. I hit my own head, forcing me to think straight. I had to figure out what was up with Damon. I thought about our -very- heated moment in the toilet and remembered the needle picks I felt on my neck. It couldn't be, right? Was I seriously considering Damon was not actually human? I heard my phone vibrate next to me on the nightstand. I picked it up and immediately sat up straight in bed, staring at the message I just received.D: Still waiting for an answer to my question.Speak of the devil. Did he really just take my number from my phone AND added himself into my phone? If he thinks I'm answering that, he's seriously delusional. That's first of all a breach of privacy and secondly, very inappropriate. Then again, I didn't mind him touching my body earlier so I guess it wasn't very clear where we stood. He was still my teacher though and very much off limits. I wasn't going to risk my study or future for anything. I did
We heard Logan screaming from the upper floor. I bolted down the stairs towards his pained screams but before I could open the door, Damon grabbed my wrist and held me back. “Tris. You don't want to see this. Don't go in.” He said to me.“You're joking right? Of course I'm going in.” I said stubbornly and I went inside with Jane and Kenna by my side.In the corner, laying flat on his back, lay a screaming Logan. Screams full of pain, terror and agony. “Logan.” I said but he didn't hear us and the screaming continued. Tears sprang into my eyes. Kenna started sobbing and Jane just stared at him with fear.“Logan,” I said again and I walked towards him, ignoring Damon's protests. I knelt beside him and put my hand on his arm. Heat penetrated through his shirt. “He's burning.” I said as a statement but nobody came forward to help. “What can we do?” I asked the group as I turned my head around. Damon, Keddrick and who I thought was Emrys stood by the door, looking at Logan with hooded face
“Did he touch you?”Damon asked in a whisper. I looked up into his eyes. He waited again for my answer. I hesitated again, giving him an answer.The fire in the fireplace suddenly exploded, raining ash everywhere. Jane screamed and ducked down, protecting her face and body from the heat. Michael turned to the fireplace in alarm but then looked at Damon again with big eyes. Damon still looked at me with his fingers on my face, a stone expression on his face and not fazed by the fire behind him. He stared into my eyes. Michael stepped forward, touching his shoulder. His hand suddenly lit on fire and he let out a scream and released Damon in an instant. “Damon! Control yourself!” Michael shouted, looking around at the spreading flames.“What is happening!?” I asked no one in particular. I didn't think I would get an answer from Damon, he looked far away in his mind.Michael looked dumbfounded for a moment. He looked at me, where his fingers touched my skin and his mouth opened to answer m
I was blasted by memories. Memories of my father when I was a little girl. Six years of my life clicked back into the empty spaces of my head. Making sandcastles on the beach, baking pies, walking the dog, moving house, brushing my teeth with music playing in the background, singing songs in the car, playing in the playground and watching movies on the couch till I fell asleep. All the memories that I made with the man in front of me who still looked exactly the same.I looked at Michael with pain in my eyes. But then other memories surfaced, memories that I made with Alex. Things he had done to me, he had shown me. All lies and deceit.“I'm going to ask you again. Is Alexander Hudson your blood mate?” My father asked me but before my lips opened, a hand snaked around my neck and pulled me backwards. A snarl left Michael but Alex took me back further. A sharp tip touched my side and pierced my dress. A gasp left me and I tried to get away but Alex held me tighter.“One wrong move and
All I felt was despair as Alex turned me towards him, grabbed the back of my neck and pushed his lips onto mine. Disgust filled me and I tried to push him away but I couldn't. My body was frozen. All I could do was stand there as Alex forcefully pulled me against him. His lips moved against mine and his other hand encircled my waist painfully tight. He pulled his face back and looked at me. He gave me another feather light kiss. I stared into his eyes, making my feelings very obvious. “You can't fight me any longer, my dear toy. Nobody will ever be able to save you now.” He whispered very softly. That was right before the doors of the ballroom blasted open with a loud Bang. The entire crowd, including me and Alex, turned towards the source of the sound. Damon. Damon stood in the door opening, two knives protruding from his chest. Blood covered his chest, dripping on the ballroom floor. There was a head wound on the side of his face. Keddrick and two other guys were next to him. The
A vampire woman with long black hair and a white dress entered the stage. “Silence!” She hushed the crowd. She said it in a normal tone but her voice boomed through the ballroom, demanding attention. “Another one of us has found their blood mate.” She continued and whispers went through the crowd. I stared at Alex and he looked back at me, not breaking eye contact. He was wearing a dark blue suit and his light brown hair was styled back. He stepped closer to me, running his fingers over my neck in front of the crowd. Shivers ran down my body. “It is Alexander Hudson who has found his mate, one of the contenders to take over the crown.” The woman said and gasps ran through the crowd. I looked up, finding everybody staring at us. I still couldn't locate Damon. Where was he? The crowd started to blur in front of me and it was the tears in my eyes that caused it. I blinked them away. Logan and Kenna stared at me and I pleaded with them in my mind. They looked from me to Jane with terrif
‘‘But I immediately noticed you as soon as you stepped through my doors tonight. You're my daughter. Your mate Alexander will become the prince, and next in line, once he has claimed you tonight.’’ He talked further but I shut my mind off. I was absolutely sick and tired of everybody compelling my thoughts, my memories and my head. I was a person, not some toy. From the moment I was a child, compulsion lay on my mind, compelling me to forget my own father and my emotions were stashed away and not validated. It was easy for this man, just compel the humans, your own children, and don't look back. I was absolutely seething with anger. I turned back to the table, downed the rest of the whiskey or whatever it was without a hitch, and stepped past Michael, who stopped talking when I turned around. ‘‘Beatrice?’’ He asked me and I didn't answer, instead walking to the door. ‘‘Don't leave.’’ He said and it almost sounded pleading. I turned around. ‘‘Or what? You're going to compel me to stay?
I stayed moving and focused on calming down. About a thousand thoughts ran through my mind and I still felt the compulsion Alex put on me weighing me down. “What do you want?” I said in a steady voice and I felt him smile. “Alexander came to me earlier this evening. Told me something interesting about you. It seems like you're already taken. You have an interesting life ahead of you as Alexander's mate.” He said and I froze. My body kept moving with him but I looked around for Damon or Jane, hoping they could get me away right now. Instead I looked straight into the eyes of Alex. My heart stopped for a second. He looked at me, an evil smile on his face and he put his finger in front of his lips, motioning for me to stay silent. I swallowed heavily. My fingers tightened on Michael's shoulder and he turned me around, facing me away from Alex. He made me do a twirl and then caught me again, taking me to the edge of the dancefloor. “Come with me.” Michael said with authority and I looked
As soon as Kenna and Logan saw us, I was swept away in the arms of Logan in the form of a big hug. “You daredevil. Keddrick told us Damon compelled you to stay at home. He should've known better.” He said in my ear and I smiled. “I wasn't going to let you fight this alone. We are in this together. We all are.” I responded and that was true, I wasn't going to abandon them. While I couldn't tell them about what exactly happened, I still pulled Logan closer to me. “I need your help tonight.” I quickly whispered to him. He nodded and then let me go, looking away as if we didn't speak at all. He gave me a wink before turning around to the rest of the group. Kenna stood next to me and touched my arm. “I'm happy you guys are here. It was a bit nerve wrecking.” Kenna said with a nervous smile and I grabbed her arm, pulling her towards me for a half hug.My mood instantly turned sour when I heard a loud, flirtatious voice next to me. “It's starting, Damon. So exciting.” Elise said and I turne
Mania by Aaryan Shah was playing when we walked in, the whole party set in a sensual but clubby tone. I was blasted by a lot of sights. It looked like a club, the walls red and the lights dimmed. Apparently they dimmed the lights more as the night went on, raising the anticipation for hunting the pets once the doors locked. I stood in the doorway with Jane, us both gasping at the grand place. Gold statues adorned the floor, paintings of people hung all over the place and the ceiling was painted with art of naked women and men. There were hundreds of people, dancing, drinking, eating and talking.Most people were dressed in their best outfit, women wearing ball gowns and men wearing their best suits. Waiters walked around with different drinks and food and I spotted several humans with barely any clothes on, covered in puncture wounds. I saw some humans with grand dresses on as well, their cheeks already reddening by the alcohol and other activities. It looked pretty tame so far, disc
