Yours for centuries

chapter 27. Aubrielle's sad loss

Zaire, Andreas and myself had gotten along so well, I had been a daddy's girl and my father had adored me. But to have my dad taken away forever so fast, I was completely devastated. 

"And then straight away... Aubrielle, I had so badly dreamed of being the man that would hold you in my arms whenever you would need support, but I couldn't bring myself to. I was constantly feeling the pain that you had been experiencing, how much you had wanted a man to cry on his shoulder.

I had wanted to be that man, I would have done anything and everything for you, but It just couldn't happen, not at that point."

"I-I had been so isolated and very much alone." At that point I just couldn't take it anymore, the devastating tears that I had been managing to hold back as soon as I had pictured the last couple of months. Tears for my loving father Andreas, his life had been taken so quickly. The tears for myself, just picturing how alone I had been feeling.

Pushed away from the life that I would have had with my mom Grecia but had been turned away from them, my life that I was constantly clinging onto in Los Angeles where I had been feeling so happy or because of Julian being here, I had just wanted to feel protected. 

"It's okay I know now," Julian spoke soothingly, as he quietly played with my hair. "Elodie had been keeping his death a secret for a long time, she had known how much I wanted to be there for you, that it would all turn out fine.

 As soon as I had seen you crying, I had known that I hadn't been able to protect or guard you, And that I would be able to comfort you when you had been needing it. It was at that moment, I had lost every will power I have had. The summer you had stayed with Ethan..."

I had gently gazed up at him, the shocked gasp I had let out. "So, the Blades actually know who your family is? I've never even known why you both hated each other so badly." 

Of course, the Blades have known who we all are for ages. We had run into each other a while ago, they have that power to try and work out what our intentions are. Their tribe had forced us to sign a treaty with them, We had promised to never bite a human or to step on any of their property. The tribe have always been 

afraid of vampires, truthfully, It's due to a bad past experience with other vampires." Julian gently kissed my shoulder. "Of course, we would feel the same in their position, even truthfully, I had been so concerned when they had sent you to stay with the Blades.

I couldn't even walk behind you, I didn't know if you were safe, I would always be waiting by my car in the parking lot." What he had been trying to tell...
