His Beloved(A vampire's mate)

Chapter 38

*Derek's POV*

Where could she be? Why isn't she back yet? Where is veronica? Where is lola?

I walked around the whole clan, looking for veronica. I heard she went Training with lola, the woods.
Veronica was strong enough to protect herself, as far as she has lexis with her.

I am missing her badly. Her scent, her smile,  the way she me go crazy for her. And right now all i needed was her.

"Derek!... " justin exclaimed as he barged into my office at the clan.

"Justin! If this isn't important, you are so
dead." I glared at him and he composed himself.

"Derek!" Emily shouted as she barged into my office...again. "Emily!" I shouted back and she flinched in fear.

"What has gotten into you two. Dont tell me, you were bored and just felt like disturbing, since you didn't see Veronica. Or you are here to ask about veronica's whereabouts, so you all can go shopping without me. Well, I have no clue." I said as I glared hard at them and how childish they were together.

"That's the point. Where is veronica?" Emily said with a worried look.

"She went training with lola. They sshould be present, in the woods." I answered.

"We know that and shouldn't come asking you. But no, she is in danger. Something bad is happening to her as we speak." Justin said with a worried look.

"What? How? When? Speak now!" I said. I was already going crazy with fear.
Where is veronica.
No, no. I cant lose her again.

"Derek! Calm down." Justin said, trying to calm me down,  but it wasn't working.

"Who told you this?" I asking, trying to pull myself together.

"A guard saw this and ran quickly to tell us. Veronica have been kidnapped." Justin said in a low tone.

"How did this happen? Where is lola? Why didn't she let lexis out?" I said as I ran my hand through my hair severally as I walked around my office.

"Derek we have to be strong. This is sebastian we are talking about. She was kidnapped by his demons, those blood sucking zombies." Emily said calmly.

"We have to resume her. Right now!" I shouted heading to the door, when justin jumped right infront of me.

"You are not talking straight. This is a trick. They are using veronica as a bait and you are falling for it." Justin said.

"I dont care. I can't lose Veronica. What if she is getting tortured right now...or almost dying? Please let me save her before it's to late. I need to rescue her." I said firmly.

"Well, not with out a plan." Emily said.

                             *   *   *  *  *

"Why do I have a feeling lola is behind this?" Emily said in a tone of disgust.

"Maybe because you dislike her?" Justin said raising a brow.

"Why will lola do such a thing. She is friends with veronica. Right?" Justin said.

"We hope so. If she is...she will regret this." I said with much anger.

We arrived at the assembly hall. I put on a straight face, I cant be weak in front of them all. I have to keep all the fear at bay.

"My lord..." They bowed low as we walked in between the guard in their lines.

"Thank you. Rise." I said as I ascended the platform.

"You know the reason why all we called to the assembly. Sebastian took something precious from me and we have to get it back. If you are scared of zombies, step back..."
No one moved. Good.

"If you are scared of demons, step back..."
No one moved. Lovely.

"If you are scared of sebastian, step back..."
They looked at each other.

They were all scared. And so was I.

"We are strong together. Watch your partner's back and get rid of your fear, cause according to my research, the demons feed on fear. Let's go rescue what's  MINE.

                   *   *   *   *   *

*Veronica's POV *

"Wakey, wakey..." was all I heard, before cold water came pouring on my face.
I jerked, panting at how cold it felt.

"What do you want from me?" I shouted at the shadow behind me. Everywhere was dark and void, only my fearful breath was heard.

"Let me see...." The figure finally came to light and at a snap of a finger. The whole hall lit up with fire on candle stands.

I took in his features. He was tall, long dark hair, pale skin that reflectd the moon and his eyes dead and crimson red. His fangs fully grown out, along with his claws.

He was acting a thinking face.
"I want Derek...dead." He pronounced, his voice coarse and thick.

He was sebastian, king of the Balian's realm. And I was most definitely in the Balian's realm.

I tried wiping the water away from my face, so I could see clearly. And I realised i was tied unto a chair bound in silver chain.

"Dont try. You will only get yourselve and your vampire self injured. The chain is made with magic. To suck your essences, once the hour glass is empty...your vampire self dies and you might just die too. And all your power becomes mine." Sebastian said with a wide smirk.

I looked towards the direction he pointing to and I saw the hour glass. It was barely hal an hour. Lexis will die.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked as tears flowed freely.

"Dont cry dear, the show hasn't began yet." Sebastian said, and in a blink he was towering above me. His hand extended to touch my face.

I moved swiftly to dodge. Yet,  he grabbed my chin roughly, as he moved his face nearer to mine and licking my chin, slowly.

"I will do whatever I want with you, and no one can stop me." Sebastian said as she let go my chin. Feeling disgusted was an understatement.

"You are Derek's weakness. As far as I have you captive, Derek will come running like a fool." Sebastian spat with venom as he let out a loud giggle, which sent shivers down my spine.

Derek save me.
