Mated To The Devil

Chapter 15: A Day With The Sister

Natasha's POV

We're sitting in this beautiful resto inside the mall having breakfast but I can't help but think about what Elyse saw when she hold my hand.

As she said, it wasn't clear but it is still something and I really wonder what is it. It can be something interesting or something about me-- something important.

I need to know what is it but I don't know how to ask Elyse because she already dismissed the topic and I don't want to bug her because we were just getting along just now and we might end up trying to kill each other again if ever.

Now that I think about it, if I were to stay with Valerian or in his lair, I need an ally, or at least just someone I can run to if things get ugly.

I mean, of course, I can't say that I can trust Elyse for now since we don't know each other that much yet and he's Valerian's sister but she can be that someone.

She might give off rich bitchy vibes but she's nice after all. We just happened to meet in the wrong situation and scenario. I think I will never forget how we met.

"Do you like the food?" she suddenly asked.

"Yeah, it's really good," I answered as I nodded at her.

Elyse swallowed her food before she leaned on the table closer to me.

"You know we can't really taste normal food, right?" she whispered. "I mean, not the way humans do."

I creased my forehead at her because of what she just said. "You can't?"

She nodded. "Yeah, at least human food-- what we are eating right now. Vampires can't really taste them. We can eat it but it can't sustain us. You know we have a different diet."

I fell silent because of what she said.

If vampires can't taste food then that means. . .

The food I cooked for Valerian is human food because I have a normal diet and those were the only recipe I know.

Aside from knowing that I put poison in the food, he can't really taste anything as he eats it.

But, I remember him commenting on my dish; saying how good it tasted.

Oh gosh.

I cleared my throat and tried to divert my attention from Valerian because I'm not liking the thoughts that are starting to form in my mind.

"Then why are we here? If it doesn't taste good for you?" I asked Elyse trying to bring back my focus on our topic. "Are you making yourself suffer?"

Elyse chuckled at what I said.

"Did you ever wonder how we live here in the humans' world for such a long time already and never had encountered a single conflict? It's because we know how to be careful in terms of fitting in. It's important. I'll teach you." She winked at me.

Okay, I got to admit, that was a good one.

They're actually really smart in their ways to try to fit in with humans. Every little thing is important for their secret to not get revealed and they're doing a really good job in hiding it.

"Are there any vampires here aside from you and Valerian?" I questioned.

"Yeah, of course. Our people live here but they're on the other side of the city. Only me and some of our relatives are here," she answered. "You know what, you should visit me in my place sometime."

I nodded. "Yeah, let's do that."

Hanging out with Elyse has an advantage. She's talkative and she shares information about their kind and that's exactly what I want. She might share some personal information about Valerian too that I can use.
