Mate of the Incubus

Pain

Christina began to open her eyes; she felt her head going round in circles. She held her head as she slowly sat up. "Wha-?" When she opened her eyes, the place was dark. Christina felt as if both her legs were chained.

All of a sudden, there was light.

Darell stood before her.

"D-Darell!" Christina looked at her surroundings and realized that she was in a room with no windows but only the bed that she lay upon. Nothing more. "Where am I?"

"Our house."

Christina felt sweat coming down her neck. "You hurt Sammy. Do you think Andrew will forgive you? Zepher will find me."

"You betrayed me," he responded.

"What?"

"You and I were together, but you chose that sex demon even though you knew we were together. Why?"

"Look, Darell. I did like you a lot, but we weren't together. Secondly, you lied to me first. You didn't love me; you loved who I resembled. You have always seen Sophie whenever you looked at me, even now. Darell, get it through your head. I am not Sophie!"

"You are selfish; you don't think about my feelings?"

"Of course I do! I am telling you these things because I don't want you to get hurt anymore. You are hurting yourself! Please let me go! It is not too late!"

Darell growled. "Enough! I have sacrificed so much that I will not let you go!"

Before Christina could say anything, Darell shut the door. She began to cry. "Zepher!"

Andrew POV

I ran as I had never run before in my life! I can't believe this is happening now of all days! Darell hurt Sammy, his Luna. Then kidnapped that poor woman. When I saw her, she looked a lot like Sophie. I could see and understand why he would want her. Yet, that is still no excuse for what he did. I promised Sammy that I would not kill him, but I knew that Zepher would not keep his promise.

The desire to protect one's mate overcomes a male's senses. I had to get to them before Zepher did. I used my strong sense of smell. There was still a faint scent of Christina; I ran faster. I could smell Zepher, and I knew there would be bloodshed if I did not get there in time.

Christina POV

I would pace back and forth, even though my leg was shackled. My heart beats with pain. I want to see Zepher. Was Sammy okay?  I kept on pacing while thoughts overcame my mind. As I walked, I began to feel unwell and pain in my stomach. I ignored it; maybe my period was coming soon. I would rub it to make the pain go away.

It was futile. The pain would get worse and worse.

What was happening to me!?

The pain was becoming so unbearable that I could no longer stand. It hurts! Am I going to die!? I took deep and rapid breaths. However, I felt something coming down my throat. I threw up on the floor. When I did, the pain subsided a bit. I still lay on the floor; I was afraid that if I stood, then the pain would come again. I stayed on the floor and closed my eyes.

Darell POV

I am in the living room looking at the picture book I had hidden away for so many years. It contained pictures of Sophie and me. I touched her picture.

Christina looked so much like her that they could be twins. A part of me knew she was not Sophie, but I could not let her go.

I could not stand her in the arms of another man; it would break me. It would be like watching Sophie in another man's arms.

Then a scent filled my nose coming from Christina's room. I stood and walked to the room, and I opened the door where I saw her lying on the ground sleeping. I gently picked her up in my arms and put her on the bed.

She did not wake.

The scent came out stronger from her.

Strange.

I recognized the scent only a few times when-

I froze. It cannot be!! She cannot...!

Suddenly, I heard a bang on the door, and I ran out of the room and closed the door.

Intruders had opened the door from the living room; I got annoyed with what I had seen.

I had things to kill.
