Last Updated : 2021-08-07 YOU ARE MENTAL E49Khloe's POV5I stared at myself in the bathroom mirror, running my hands down my sides to smoothen out the fabric of the dress.248It looked amazing.16Nico was right about that seamstress. The fact that she could pull off an exact copy from just a drawing completely amazed me.16Everything was exactly how I envisioned it if not better. Even every pearl was perfectly placed.I toyed with the jewel hanging from the necklace as I took a step back, allowing more of myself to be seen in the mirror.10The step I took was slow since I wasn't used to the large heels I was wearing.7My eyes ran over my entire body, trying to decide how I felt about this dress.8 Last Updated : 2021-08-07 YOU ARE MENTAL E50Nico's POV52Khloe has been in the bathroom a lot longer than necessary. Even I knew that it didn't take a girl this long to put on a dress, and I was beginning to become impatient.37Not because she was taking a long time, but because I already knew full well that she had already changed.17I knew that she was probably just looking herself over, finding something that she was insecure about and second-guessing her dress choice because of it.15Insecurities that I still didn't understand why she had.248I leaned back, setting my arms on the bed for support.8I mostly just hoped that she wouldn't chicken out on showing it to me because of them. I wasn't going to let those ridiculous thoughts of hers stay in her head once she showed me.17 Last Updated : 2021-08-07 YOU ARE MENTAL E51Nico's POV:13Khloe slowly set her hand in mine, apparently unsure of what to initially think about what we were going to do.34She looked unsurprisingly nervous and red-faced, probably worried already that she was going to mess up.26Well of course she was, No one could expect her to be automatically good at something that they've never done before, not to mention how difficult those heals are going to be.133I gestured her to step forward, having her close the distance between us a bit.17Her eyes followed my hand as I guided her own to my shoulder, before placing my own on her waist.31The later action made her stiffen and made her nervousness even more evident.27I tried my best not to smile at her reaction.126 Last Updated : 2021-08-07 YOU ARE MENTAL E52Nico's POV:28I leaned into the cold spray of the shower, my mind wildly buzzing from the event that had happened only moments before.587What. The. Hell.196I had a lot of questions flying through my head but those three words summed them all up pretty well.19What the hell did I just do?121Why did I just do it?90Why with her?431These questions kept repeating themselves in my head, even though I already knew the answer to all of them.37I knew the answers but part of me didn'twantto know them.66But regardless of what I wanted the answers were as clear as day.6Frankly put, it was just because of her.26It was because I r Last Updated : 2021-08-07 YOU ARE MENTAL E53Khloe's POV:14Nico and I walked side by side down the long hallway leading to the ballroom that I didn't even know existed.8No leash, no collar. We just walked together with some more vampires that were making their way to the ball.78Nico's black suit was differing from all the other varying shades of navy and grey that all of the other vampires were wearing.62And well, as far as I had seen so far, I was very overdressed as a pet.136I inched closer to Nico as we walked, trying to ignore the other glances from both Vampires and pets.20I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about tonight. I already knew that I couldn't just hang out near Nico all night and that I was going to have to socialize with the other pets and slaves.23Not t Last Updated : 2021-08-07 YOU ARE MENTAL E54Nico's POV:32I looked down at the thick, red liquid swirling in my glass, tuning out as many things around me as I possibly could.28Social events weren't really my thing, but I kind of promised Xander that I would stay the whole time.26He said something about needing a wingman.17Which I don't think he really needed if he was trying to go for literally any other girl but Layla.10But no, he had to fall for the gold digger.128I began absentmindedly twirling my glass once again.2I guess things have been going well between them so far. After all, she's been talking to him ever since I gave her that dance.1Well, after our second dance. Since she insisted that since I made her wait so long I owed her two. Last Updated : 2021-08-07
Latest chapterYOU ARE MENTAL Ep74 Khloe’s POV: I woke up exactly where I should have, wrapped in the arms of Nico. Well, I don’t think Nico would consider this being wrapped in his arms. He was very upset last night that the wounds on my back prevented him from being able to hold me like he usually did, but he eventually settled with his hand on my lower back. I for one didn’t care either way, as long as I was touching him in some way I was happy. I opened my eyes to scan the room, noticing that it was a lot darker than it usually was whenever I woke up. Nico’s slow and steady breaths were the next thing that caught my attention. He was still fast asleep, which was odd because I rarely ever woke up before him. It must have been early then. I carefully pushed myself up with my elbow, allowing me to glance at the amount of light coming through the window and conf YOU ARE MENTAL Ep73Khloe’s POV:Confusion filled my mind as I watched Nico leave the room in a flash.He said that he had found our out, so I guess he found a solution to our problem.I wondered what it could be as I tried to make the heat from Nico’s kiss leave my face.I disregarded coming up with possibilities very soon, figuring that I would hear about it as soon as he comes back.With that thought process being disposed of in a matter of seconds, excitement and joy began to fill my mind again from the events that had happened only minutes before.The excitement that I had to hide while he was here so I didn’t make a complete fool of myself in front of him.But now there was absolutely nothing stopping me.Now I could feel all this pent-up energy and happiness flooding my body, about to burst.I wanted to run to the window and scream out to the world what had happened. YOU ARE MENTAL Ep72Nico’s POV:I didn’t even try to suppress my huge breath of relief as I layed myself back against the bed.“God it feels so good to finally have that off my chest,” I admitted, stretching my hands above my head before laying on themIt was weird that I could actually feel a physical difference within myself like I was finally able to truly relax.I guess all the vampiric instincts that were screaming at me to take her had finally calmed down.Although they were very upset that I wasn’t holding onto her right now.But it’s probably for the best for both of us that I take some time to calm down after that whole thing lest I do something I regret.Plus, that still didn’t change the main fact.She was mine. She was actually mine.That conversation actually went smoothly and now she wasmine.That thought felt so abstract but there YOU ARE MENTAL Ep 71Khloe’s POV:His body stiffened as soon as I spoke.And to be honest, so did mine.This conversation had been on my mind ever since last night and I just wanted to hurry and get it over with.Get it over with and get some answers.My anticipation grew as Nico put his hands into his pockets.“I did,” he replied, he himself sounding nervous.My shoulders slumped a bit at his lack of a response, making my nerves even more on edge.It was like he was avoiding the questions at hand.Not that I had actually asked a question but it thought that I had implied it quite well.“Why?” I asked, my true confused feelings leaking into my voice.His brows shot up before they slowly furrowed in thought.I wanted nothing more than to know what he was thinking at this moment.I wanted to know what exactly every thought he has had YOU ARE MENTAL Ep70Khloe’s POV:The world around me was calm as I slipped back into consciousness.My body was warm and comfortable, a feeling that automatically told me that I was in Nico’s bed.Memories of what had happened began to flash in my mind, forcing me to open my eyes, my heart skipping a beat at the thought that I had just passed out from the pain.What I saw, however, denied that thought.I was lying facing the bathroom, seeing Nico sitting in his desk chair.He was facing me, but he wasn’t looking at me.Instead, he was hunched over, elbows set on his knees and his palms pressed against his forehead. His hair fell loosely between his fingersHis shoulders rose and fell slowly, but not evenly.How long was I out?I tried to move but stopped almost immediately once I felt some resistance against pretty much my entire torso.Looking down at myself, I f YOU ARE MENTAL Ep69Khloe’s POV:I aimlessly wandered around the room, trying to think of something to do that would distract me for a short time before breakfast would arrive.Nico had hidden all of my art supplies in order to rid any suspicion, so I couldn’t do that.I partially debated just laying in his bed, knowing that those pillows had the smell of him all over them.Although if I did that Layla would probably catch onto my scent and get upset.I honestly couldn’t really do anything without risking me doing something that Layla wasn’t going to like.And well, I was already so anxious from the past 24 hours that just doing nothing like this was making things worse in my head.It felt like I just needed to fall asleep and not wake up until Layla was gone and things were back to how they should be.My head snapped towards the door once I heard a knock.I breathed out an audib YOU ARE MENTAL Ep68Nico’s POV:I couldn’t sleep.Too many things were running through my head and too many things hurt.This entire day has been complete shit.Khloe hasn’t even looked at me ever since Layla showed up. Not to mention that she had been carrying a sorrowful look on her face all day.She looked like she was going to cry pretty much the entire day and I couldn’t stand that.I still couldn’t stand that I never got an answer from her the previous night and now that Layla was here, I still couldn’t try to figure it out.My brows drew together as my head began to ache.This whole thing was so stressful and I wanted it to be done with.Not only did I have to explain my actions to Layla believable way whenever I did something moderately nice to Khloe, but I felt like I was losing Khloe.It hurt so much seeing her upset and knowing that I couldn&rsqu YOU ARE MENTAL Ep67Nico’s POV:I slowly made my way back to my room, trying to decide how I was supposed to explain all of this to Khloe.Part of me cursed myself for not at least trying to refuse the Lord’s request, but everyone knew that denying a Lord, especially this one, was a terrible idea.I sighed as I stared ahead at the door to my room.There was no way to explain this in a positive way. I didn’t want to treat Khloe in a way that would keep Layla free of suspicions.And I doubt Khloe is going to like that fact either.If anything, this whole thing is going to stress her out and that’s the absolute last thing that I wanted.Reluctantly, I opened the door.I wanted to hurry and explain this to her as soon as possible so I could try my best to assure her that I would do everything in my power to make sure that she still felt comfortable even while Layla was here.But Khlo YOU ARE MENTAL Ep66 Khloe’s POV: Nico and I didn’t return to the castle until just before the sun began to rise, both of us not being tired enough to actually get some sleep. Not that I could have slept even if I wanted to. I knew my mind would have been rushing as I recapped that night. That completely amazing night. I really wished that we would do something like that again soon, and luckily Nico promised me that we would. Even without the meteor shower, that night would have been fun. I felt a lot of things that I hadn’t felt in a very long time. Things that I didn’t even realize that I missed. And some things that I probably would be better off if I ignored. But, for now, I was sitting on my side of Nico’s bed, looking through one of the books he had on vampire history as he sat on his side, looking through a book of his own. Of course I had r
