She's the Devil in Disguise

^^Acacia

Yeira's POV

I stared at what I had done. Acacia was fast asleep and would've been naked if I didn't just drape her clothes over her. Acacia's arms were wrapped around my leg as she used my thigh as a pillow. I gulped and averted my eyes. I held my face in my hands as a repeat of what we did a few hours ago replayed in my mind. It's because of her blood... blood of Sangpure mates are intoxicating, inviting, and alluring. Consuming it makes you want more and be more intimate with the person. It's so hard to refuse the pull. And now that I've tasted her blood, I'm going to want to have sex with her more often. Ugh! I should've just died!

Obviously, I still feel stronger towards Hana, but there's a part of me that wants Acacia. To rank them, it'd be Hana then Acacia (surprising, I know) and then Naomi. It's weird why Naomi isn't ranked higher since she has more experience than the others, but feelings make no sense. I absentmindedly ran my hand through Acacia's hair and thought about how Hana will kill me. Maybe she doesn't need to know. All I have to do is seal the bond with her and then everything will be peachy.

I was interrupted from my thoughts by Acacia stirring. She scrunched her nose and slowly blinked. Acacia then looked up at me and raised a confused brow. Acacia's eyes then widened as she remembered what we did. She looked down and silently cried at seeing herself naked. Acacia sat up and hugged herself. I decided to give her a moment and walked away. I waited until she was fully dressed and approached me. Her eyes and nose were red from crying.

"We don't have to say anything."

"I can't lie to her. I have to tell her." Acacia looked down. "She's going to hate me."

"I don't think she'll hate you. She'll hate me though. Just tell her that I coerced you into it." Acacia looked stunned at my words. "Say it was my fault-"

"That'd be lying. I kissed you first-"

"And then we had sex." Acacia stiffened at my words. "It'll be fine. Let's just keep going." She nodded and followed me.

We silently walked down the corridor and then tension was palpable. Acacia kept to herself and would sniffle every so often. I could sense that she felt terrible and so guilty. Acacia didn't like keeping this from Zena any longer, but she feared Zena's reaction. Me, I knew what Zena's reaction would be and was hoping to delay it.

When we turned the corner, the hedges changed to stone walls again. Well, I don't have to worry about touching it anymore. I approached the wall and dragged my hand against the side. Acacia copied my action on the other side. Acacia then squealed, so I turned to see blood running down the wall. Acacia looked at her hand in disgust while I tried to understand why the hell the wall had blood rolling down it.

"Eww!" Acacia showed me her hand.

"Looks yummy to me." I smirked and licked her hand. Acacia shrieked and slapped me. "Hey, it's delicious." I grabbed her wrist and licked the blood. Acacia began laughing and saying that she was ticklish.

"Stop it!" She yanked her perfectly clean hand back. "What's with the blood?!"

"I don't know. Demons, maybe?" I shrugged.

The two of us continued down the corridor when I felt something obstruct me. Actually, it felt like something was holding me back. I looked down and my eyes widened at-

"There are corpse hands holding me!" Acacia screamed.

"I know, princess." I tried to free myself, but they had a firm hold on me.

"So gross!" Acacia cried out. "They're dragging me down!"

"I can feel it." I fell onto my hands and knees.
