The Alpha and I

Chapter 28: Pure Vamp Blood 2

  As I am still standing there, staring at the void space infront of me, the deafening silence took over the entire place. I sighed and stared at the towering mansion. Then I look around. There were plants everywhere. The sunshine is making them more beautiful. And the house is perfect at the center. Well, it won't hurt if I stay here for two days. And with Henry around, who knows? Besides, I deserve a vacation after being wounded by that crazy elf.

   "Maib!" Henry called from his window. So, the control freak is finally awake! He's half naked and waving his hand, more like 'get back here!'waved.

   Yeah, I got it. I walked inside the house and was greeted by a maid. My morning isn't good so I ignored her and climbed the stairs into his room.

  "This box has your things." Henry pointed out the box. It's still sealed.

   "I don't remember that this box is mine." I knotted my brows but inspect the box anyway. The sender's name was written in bold letters- AGNES T. JACKSON. My eyes instantly flew on Henry.

  "My mom sent it. She bought clothes for you." He talked about it like it's nothing. Or maybe, he's hiding his embarrasment from me.

   "She shouldn't have. But I do appreciate it."  I opened the box and found out what his mother spent thousands of dollars for the clothes. From the dresses to the underwears, all are from signature shops. I was shocked by her mom's thoughtfulness. "Wow," I said, overwhelmed by the current situation. Henry chuckled and it echoed inside his room.

   "I'll wait for you at the dining room?" he said merrily. I nodded but stopped him abruptly when I remembered something.

   "Something wrong, Maib?"

   "I have a question for you." I put back the dress in the box. "What can a pure vampire blood do? To someone's body for instance." Unknowingly, I rub my thumb on my nose. Henry looked at me dreadfully. He went back inside the room and shut the door behind him.

"Why are you asking about pure vampire blood, Maib?" He hissed and lurched over me. He even growled, not satisfied with his first action. However, he does not scare me at all. I retreated myself on the sofa. I should tell him.

"My aunt is looking for a pure vampire blood. That's why she's in Canada right now."

"Who needs the blood?"he demanded. I was torn between telling the truth and weaving a lie. "Who needs it, Maib? Do not even think of lying," he warned, like he knows what I am thinking.

I sighed in defeat. "It's me." I never imagined Henry will react possesively after I answered him. He growled furiously and spooned me using his one hand and put me on his lap. He even sniffed my hair. "Okay!" I mumbled while my body is trembling.

"You're keeping me in the dark. Tell me, why do you need the blood?"

"I do not know either." I have to lie. He'll end up worrying, if he'll know. Henry's arms wrapped me. My head leaned on his shoulder. His scent is weakening my muscles. And he is damn tempting. "Answer me," I pleaded. His scent is now invading my senses, and the temptation is crawling to my brain. Henry seemed to feel it because he growled sensually on my ear. If there's something like that, but it is really sensual to me. I have to do something to distract us both or else we will end up together, on his bed. Well, unless I'd allow it to happen. But no! I won't allow it to happen. I am not yet ready.

   Really? Fira, my fire beast is doubting my wit now. I am not yet ready for this. I scolded her.

  Says you but your body is burning. Ugh! I could imagine Fira smirking at me. She is making it worse. Blame it to my upcoming period. I can't control my damn hormones!

  "I need answers, Henry."

  What a lame distraction. Fira mocked and I hissed.

"Vampire blood can heal, Maib." Henry tucked my hair that is covering my face. His index finger traced my nose. "Are you sick, my Maib?" His question distracted me for a moment. I shook my head. "Is there something else you want to tell me?" I shook my head again. Where the hell is my voice? Why am I not talking? His eyes burrowed on mine, searching for the truth. He sighed after that. "Let me check your wound." He put me back on the sofa and carefully open the cloth bandage. "How do you feel?"

"Better," finally I found my voice. Our distance, though he is not that far, helped me cleared my thoughts.

"Your wound is healing faster. This is not the reason for needing the blood. There is more than this!" He pulled off the bandage. "You do not need this anymore." This time he cupped my face, his eyes turned into pitch black. Uh uh! The word danger is screaming in my head. He's mad. Is he gonna turn into a dog?

"I love you. Please tell me what's wrong. It is killing me inside, Maib,"he said in a husky voice. Okay, that is not what I have expected. I really thought he's gonna turn into a dog.

I took Henry's hands and brought it down on my lap. Our eyes met. My heart ached too, when I saw his pain. This dude really cares for me, big time! He deserved to know even though it means another unpleasant emotion. But I don't need to tell him the death part.

"My witch aunt had a vision about me. I...I was dying. So, to make sure that's not going to happen, they need to be ready. That's where vampire blood came in." I check his eyes. They're still pitch black.

"Where's your witch aunt now?"he stood up and almost run to his bed. He took something underneath his bed.

"Philippines." He sat back beside me and flipped his phone. I saw him dialled a number. Then, someone answered on the other line. I stared at Henry in confusion.

"Prepare the jet. Make sure to contact a legal landing feild in the Philippines...yes more private...Man, it is your job to secure that damn permit. Okay, three hours...this is emergency."

I was totally bombarded. He has a freaking jet! More importantly, why is he in a hurry to meet my aunt? He did not even ask me. Hello! I am the witch niece here! Jerk! Does he know where exactly in the Philippines is my aunt's place? I don't and that's a big problem. I don't even know their faces. How are we going to find them?
