Bloodlust [Book One] ✔️

Blood Bound

I stood in front of the mirror just staring at my reflection. Who was the person standing in front of me? I flipped my hair over my shoulder and stared at the permanent mark on my neck.

A knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts. I knew who was on the other side of the door. I wasn't ready to face anyone yet. After everything that happened I couldn't face them again.

"Chloe, please open this door." Kyle's voice sounded exhausted. "We're just waiting on you for the ceremony."

I hated everything about the person I was looking at. Yesterday had been the worst day of my life and now I had to bury my dead father. It was something I never thought I would have to do. Not this soon at least, and not like this.

I hated everything that had become my life now. I hated that I wouldn't wake up and see my dad's face again. The guilt that was eating me up was worse than anything. I couldn't take it anymore.

For hours I sat there alone. For hours I cried and screamed because I couldn't do anything. It wasn't in me to leave my dad to find help. It wasn't until Don and Kyle found me that I really wished I could have died. The accusing looks I was given were just as horrible as Vincent's betrayal.

"Chloe," again my thoughts were interrupted when Kyle spoke, "please talk to me."

"Just..." I sighed, "give me a minute."

I grabbed my boots and slipped them on. The dress I was wearing was short sleeved and it fell down shy above my knees. It was cold outside but I wouldn't feel it anymore. I was a werewolf now.

I opened the door and Kyle stood there waiting for me. He gave me a sad look but wisely kept his mouth shut. We walked down the stairs where Don was patiently waiting for us. It was hard to look him in the eyes.

"All ready to go?" He asked.

I nodded and walked out the front door. I was met with several people surrounding us. They were supposed to guard me against Vincent and his pack. Another part of me felt like they were guarding the people in my pack from me.

They didn't stop me when I kept walking towards the car. I got in the back seat while Don climbed in on the driver's side. Kyle slipped inside next to me. He kept glancing at me like he was waiting for me to lose it at any moment.

"Are you sure you're ready for this?" Kyle asked.

"I have to be."

This was the only goodbye I would be able to have. Yesterday I couldn't even tell him that I loved him for the last time. We spent the majority of the time arguing and fighting over useless shit. Instead of building a relationship we were tearing whatever we had left down to the ground.

"We need to talk about a few things once we get back home." Don said. "The pack is in a very delicate stage. Not to mention that the Elders have gotten involved in some matter. No doubt they'll be all over this."

"The what?" I asked, confused.

"We'll talk about it later." Don said.

"What's going to happen now that my dad isn't here anymore?" I asked.

It was the biggest question I had on my mind. I wasn't ready for any of this. I knew I couldn't. I messed up really bad and everyone would know it. It was because of me that they lost their Alpha.

"You take your rightful place." Kyle said.

"That will be discussed when we get home."

"There's nothing to discuss. Chloe is the next heir to the title."

"The two of you have no idea the mess this has become, have you?" Don said. "Kyle, you better stay close to Chloe and don't let her out of your sight."

I know you have all waited a long time for this and I am sorry it has taken me a while but Blood Bound is finally here! Go on my profile and click on Blood Bound to read the full chapter !
