Vince rarely sleeps but this time he was exhausted, for the past two weeks, he hadn't taken care of himself between looking for his sister and the primordials meeting and putting everything in place, he knew that he should stay awake to watch over his mate since they were in unfamiliar territory but his eyes were heavy and he wanted to sleep. After all she was already asleep so all he had to do was stay besides her.
He didn't know she was missing until he felt the terror coming into his mind through the psychic bond, he stood up and pulled up his trousers as he glanced around confused, Gwen was not in the room and when the feeling continue to come through the bond.&nb
Everybody in the room turned to face the newcomers who were huge, at least to Gwen. They were taller than Vincent and other primordials but where the primordials were lean, these new guys had bulging muscles. She would have been more attracted to them if they weren't looking at everybody in the room like they would rather kill them than enter the room fully and act like nothing is amiss, and that included her and she wasn't a fan of people who would kill her. Gwen turned from the new lookers to Vince, hoping that he would look at her and tell her without words to go into their room and lock the door to prevent anybody from entering. She would normally be against being sent to her room like a child but now, she would gladly accept it. In fact, she wanted it.
A few hours later. Everybody was gathered in the conference room for the meeting, everybody but Gwen. Vince was certainly not going to allow them to near his mate anytime soon and if he had his way, he would teleport her back to his mansion, what made him think that she was safe wherever he is. She was attacked while he was in the house and he knew that he would never forgive himself for that for as long as he lives. He also knew that the reason why he mainly kept Gwen away from the meeting was because he wanted to protect her. There are people who were not happy with the fact that he had seen his mate. If the expression of the wolves were anything to go by, it meant that none of them was happy with the fact that he was mated and he refuse to make Gwen stay in their presence
Vince slam into the room as Gwen jumped in fright. " they are all idiots. "" to me, you are the idiot for scaring me like that. " Gwen said with a little bite to her tone. Vince stopped his pacing as he looked at his mate then went to her side. " I am sorry. " Vince said as he hugged her and felt his anger diminishing. " what happened. " Gwen asked making her voice to go soft so as to soothe Vince mood, it worked as Vince angry continued to reduced. " they refuse to work together. " Vince said getting angry all over again. " you think that they will use their head but no. They
That meeting strengthen Vince belief of if you want something to be done then you are the only one who could do it. He wanted to protect his race and he was the only one to do it. No other primordials seemed too worried about it. Even his sister, he knew that she voted with him because she believed him and then no matter what happens, Jessica knew that he would protect her so she give him her support whenever and where ever it was needed. He has been actively hunting down clues as to why what is happening is happening and he was not getting any closer. His mind was also not at rest based on the fact that he was lying to his mate and when his mate do catch up with what he is doing. He knew that there will be hell to
When Vince woke up the next morning and he knew at once that Gwen had not slept besides him and he also knew that a big quarrel is going to happen very soon on the issue because he refuse to not do anything about the killings and he wasn't sure that he has the strength or power for it. He went around his home looking at different rooms to check for his wife and he didn't see her. Just as he was about to start panicking, he saw her curled up on her favorite couch in the sitting room and there was dried tears tracks on her face. He mentally kicked himself for hurting his mate and as much as a part of him wanted to give in and do whatever&n
Vince had another unsuccessful day with trying to track down those who attacked the vampire, his mind was not on the hunt but his mate who he knew would be worried about him. When he finally gave up and went home, he saw Jessica in his room. " where is Gwen. " he asked his sister who gave him a glare. " she is in the bathroom. Dry heaving in because she is so worried about you. Can you not give the girl a break. " Jessica snap at him as she teleported away. He moved to the bathroom and knocked, she came came out with a nervous expression on her face and when he assess her he knew that she had
Vincent really didn't think of her as he left but that doesn't mean that he didn't think of her when he continued his hunt. His mind was not interested hunt and he knew that he would keep making mistakes but he already made up his mind not to return home until that evening and he knew that he was being cold to his mate but he needed to be. If he let's her get her way, she might think that it was okay to boss him around and he refuse to let another woman dictate his movements, even if the woman was his mate. ****Gwen woke up the next morning
Gwen walked into her friend shop barely holding back her tears. She knew that she would soon fall apart and she is doing everything in her power not to until she was in the arms of someone who has always cared for her. " looked who the Vampire dragged in. " Ashley drawls from behind the counter as he looked up to see his friend but he couldn't leave the cake he was icing half way done. Despite her mood, Gwen lips formed into a half smile. " hey Ashley. " " I will be with you in just a second and you will tell me who hurt you so that I can kick his ass. " Ashley said as Gwen looked up
“Are you being serious?” Courtney asks.“Definitely.” Gwen said with a blanket around her, she still shakes. Jake is even worse than Matthew.“And I entrusted you to him” Vince tortured voice dragged her attention to him.“And how would you have known, you might be the most powerful vampire alive but you are not a seer and neither should you hold yourself responsible.” Gwen said to Vince who nodded but seemed to still have the weight of the whole world on his shoulders.“So right now you are saying that they are having issues absorbing the vampire crystal maybe that is why Matthew is always with it.” Jessica mused.“How do you know?” Caleb asks looking at her suspiciously,Jessica rolled her eyes then. “I can sense the crystal and besides stop looking at me as if I betraye
“my god, I don’t think that Matthew would be that deranged” Jessica said with a disgusted facial face.“More than every one of us knew.” Courtney said.“I can’t believe that he killed future pure vampires.” Jake added to the various voices of disbeliefs.“And I can’t believe that her body just absorbed the crystal. What are we going to do with a child whose ability was already unknown and now he just added the hub of magic to his abilities?” Elijah said as they all turned to look at him.“Why are you more concerned about that?” Courtney asks.“Because anybody who can act against what he believes in for hundreds of years should be deranged, what were you guys expecting, a civil conversation or haggling which cities to lose and which is profitable from him.” Elijah explains
Jessica was the one to alert other primordials, this she did without including her brother. It wasn’t when they were sure that Gwen would be okay did they mind link Vince and he appeared almost feral and only calmed down at the news that Gwen was alright. He gave her his blood which she drank as quickly as she could like she was starving. She took so much that when she finally let go. Vince staggered to a chair and collapse in it and didn’t bother to refuse the cup of blood when offered to him. He just drowned it down.“Are you okay?” Jake leaned forward in concern.“You tell me Jake, my mate and child were just attacked and there is nothing I can do about protecting them, that fact is clear.” Vince released a bitter laugh, Jake didn’t bother to correct him about the fact that the reason he asked was because Vince had staggered backwards.“I should hav
“Congrats brother.” Jessica said as she hugged Vincent who has not stopped smiling since Gwen told him the news, he never suspected that he could be this happy but he also knew that his weaknesses were increasing, he had just one before and he has three, the second and third are the most vulnerable right now.“Can I be the god mother?” Courtney asks and when Jessica glared at her she continued. “Please you know that you are the real aunt and don’t get me started on the fact that her godfather is my mate.”“Wait, whoa. What makes you think that Ashley will be the god father?” Jake asks. “I am the father best friend.”“And you pinned the mother on the wall the first day you saw her.” Ashley replies with a roll of his eyes as Jessica and Courtney laughs. “I won’t ever live that down
“That is not a bad idea, but I cannot let Drew into that place, especially since he is the traitor.” Cole said to Vince later when Carson and Vince appeared without knocking inside his office and they were treated to a sight that they will never be able to bleach out of their memory and even currently were unable to look at Cole without wanting to vomit or going red with embarrassment.“I thought I told you that you should not look for the traitor yet.” Vince asked staring at a place above Cole head.“And I thought you knew your biology on supernatural species.” Cole questions in return.“How does that have to do with anything?” Vince frowns.“I am a werewolves, we don’t listen to orders except when they come from the alpha and that is because he forces his will on us, I am the alpha and I don’t have to listen to you.
“Stop fussing over me will you.” Vince growls at Elijah and Jacob who were doing nothing other than suffocating him under the guise of being worried about him.“You almost died, I think we can flutter over you for a while.” Jacob replied as Vince glared at him.“We have more important things to talk about.”“Yeah, like how your mate got your gifts even teleporting, does that mean that all our mates will get our gifts, does that mean that Ashley will be able to teleport soon?” Caleb asks as they all turned to look at him. “What?”“So you aren’t a l
Vince was a warpath and every supernatural who had access to technology knew that.They knew when he strung the intestines from the man without killing him. And that was not while he was extracting information from the man. A day after the accident, he had already left the information that Carson and Cole wanted on their desks. And now, he was checking warehouse. And storage of products which helped the rebels before and now it was dust.And Vince was kind of concerned about his health although he won’t tell anybody. It has been a month without Gwen and he was already feeling himself blanking and uncontrollable rage. His memory keeps going worst each day but he would hide it for as long as he can while his mate was in coma.He knew that nothing would make him crazier than sitting around and dwindling his thumbs because others refuse to let him do anything at all.
The day, the other shoe dropped was a day that nobody expected that it would happen and it happened in a way which no one thought it will ever happen… at least not like that. That day started like every other day for Vince, with his arms around his mate then attacking her neck while she sleeps. Then proceeding to having sex with her while she drinks from him.That part went well without any issue, the day changed when someone banged on the door while he was talking with Gwen. He opened the door to shout at his butler only to see Jessica and his face lost color with what she told him and he quickly wore his clothes and left Gwen.That was the first mistake. His second was that after checking the scene where another crystal went missing was to hold an emergency meeting with all the primordials and the sorcerer’s council along with the shifters' own. The way he knew what happened wa
“What,” Vince asks in shock.“There is chaos everywhere.” Elijah said frantically“Slow down, I don’t think that I heard you clearly the first time. I thought you said something like Matthew is attacking vampires now without covering his face.” Jake said with disbelieve in his tone and face.“Exactly. And tomorrow morning, the news would have finish circulating...”“Which will make everybody to think something it up and it will lead to infighting among people.” Vince said.“What are we going to do Vince?” Caleb asks.“We will do what we should have done, we will expose everything to our people but we need to show that we have the backings of the shifters and the sorcerers.” Vince said as Courtney nodded.“Yes
