Smut & Fluff

Second Chance

Kaniel's POV:
"Mom why am I not a vampire?" I asked

"Your father is only part vampire and I am too so you had equal chances of being a vampire and being human" she said as she ate her raw steak. "How I wish you're a vampire too so you can live for thousands of years"

"You can't turn me into a vampire?" I asked

"That rarely works sweetheart. 95 percent of all bitten humans die" she said

"Maybe I'm a part of that 5 percent" I said and took a bite of my well-done steak

"And risk losing you? No can do Kaniel" she said and I sighed

"So that means I'll be lonely till I die" I said

All vampires have mates. They could be human, vampires, or werwolves. This means that vampires never get lonely and that idea made me want to be a vampire but of course I have to be cursed by whoever's in charge and make me a mere human with no powers and no absolute mate.

"Don't say that sweetheart. Your dad and I are always here for you" she said and I smiled with pursed lips. "Why don't you go out? Do what humans do. Party, meet some people, create connections"

"That sounded like a dating app's slogan" I said

"What's that?" She asked

"It's an app for humans to create connections" I said

"Just go to a club or the forest. A lot of mateless vampires are seeking comfort" she said and I gaped at her

"Mom did you just tell me to become a hooker?" I asked and she smacked the back of my head. "Ow! Mom! You have powers"

"Sorry" she said. "And no I'm not telling you to become a hooker for vampires. I'm just saying, vampires crave for mates"

"There are second chance mates right?" I asked and she nodded

"Given by the eldest of elders"

"Why don't they just ask them" I asked and she laughed

"The elders are brutal. They're like a supreme court and the vampires who appeal are the defendants" she said. "They have to prove that they're still worthy of having another mate but only a few try because like I said, the elders are brutal, merciless. That's why vampires hang around in the woods to meet other beings"

After eating, I decided to go to the club and it was very awful. I had no one to talk to while everyone around me are chatting and having fun. After gulping down a few drinks, I went to the forest which was oddly better than thumping music and colorful and bright lights.

When I went deeper into the forest, I saw a lot of people. Most were in human form but some were in their supernatural forms like werewolves and very pale vampires. I walked further and I then heard soft music playing. In the distance, I saw a clearing with a lot of people. The music was not electronic but rather classical. People were conversing in hushed tones and fairy lights hanged from the trees. Almost like an elegant ball but in the middle of the forest.

I joined them in the clearing and watched all of them like it was a movie. I went to the bar and sat down on the stool.

"Human?" The bartender asked

"Uhmm... yeah" I said and he handed me a nude-colored bracelet. "What's this for?"

"Identification. Everyone should wear them" he said and showed me his gray bracelet. "Nude-colored bracelets are for humans, grays like mine are for werewolves, and reds are for the vampires. So, what drink do you want? I'm sure you don't like O+ blood or any blood at all"
