His Estranged Mate

Chapter 42: Blood Magic?

CONNOR

"Will this harm Connor or Catrina in any way?" asks Fenris, ever the King, remaining alert to the consequences of such a deed whereas I am willing to believe Dominic. He's her godfather and definitely a well-wisher which makes him worthy of my trust.

"No. Since Connor is giving his blood to me as a selfless deed to search for his soulmate, he doesn't have to be worried. But he'll be bonded to me for a lifetime. I'll be able to locate him anytime, even when I go feral," he answers Fenris who shrugs at his last words.

"If you track down Connor when you are feral, chances of saving you are more and even if we can't save you, I'll personally come and behead you to avoid a bloodbath," answers Fenris, coolly.

I watch their interaction, not understanding why Dominic would go feral in the near future.

"I have no problem with this. You can locate me anytime you want," I add, hoping to divert the conversation from the death threats that are being thrown randomly and focusing on the matter at present.

Dominic grunts at my response whereas Fenris just nods his head at me, giving me the signal of going ahead with the ritual.

"Connor. Stand facing towards the north. Turn your head towards the sky. And don't wince at all," instructs Dominic while walking towards me. I quickly follow his instructions and wait for him to come and stand in front of me.

"Nora. What do you suggest? Jugular or wrist?" asks Dominic, his face appearing as if carved from stone. His seriousness tells me that this is going to hurt a lot.

"Let's try with the wrist first. Just take a big sip. That's enough. Nothing more," replies Nora.

A vampire is forbidden to drink any supernatural being's blood. Supernatural blood is very potent, like a decade old scotch. If a vampire drinks from a supernatural, chances of the vampire sucking him dry are very high which is very painful to the supernatural being. A lot more than a human's experience of being sucked dry. A vampire usually creates a haze for the human so that it doesn't hurt much but a supernatural is immune to a vampire's illusion, so it won't work on me, causing this to hurt much more.

That's the reason why there are strict restrictions put upon such consumption.

Only when the representatives of the vampire, the respective shapeshifter and the Witch heiress is obtained, such a ritual can happen.

Fenris will play the role of pulling Dominic back when he becomes high with my blood. My blood has Catrina's essence in it so he can track her, locate her within minutes just by following the thread of her essence.

It's illogical to me but I was once told by my mate, there's no logic when God's magic at work.

I guess this is where the Goddess is working, to give me a sliver of a path, to follow and save my mate.

Sending a quick pray to have my mate back, safely in my arms, I stand still when Dominic takes hold of my upturned wrist and bends toward it. His fangs touch the inside of my wrist first, which feel like a tiny prick but the moment he starts sucking my blood, is when I feel the first lash of searing pain.

My wolf roars in pain at such an abhorrent action which causes my knees to buckle a bit as the pain overwhelms me. Gritting my teeth, I take a deep breath, waiting for him to be done.

Somehow, keeping my feet planted on the ground, I take deep breaths, tolerating the pain. I watch Dominic as he sucks from my vein. His eyes are closed but it's like he's not ready to let me go.

I think one big sip must be done by now, but the bloodsucker isn't ready to let go. The people around me also realise that, maybe, because Fenris walks towards Dominic and keeps a hand on his shoulder. The vampire shrugs of my King's hold indicating that the vampire is indeed high.
