His Beloved(A vampire's mate)

Chapter 47

"Hey, why are we out here in the woods again?" Lexis asked me as she scorched nearer. I cursed under my breath and managed to answer.

"Because a certain someone was hungry and refused to eat cooked food or have preserved blood pack." I said as I continually rolled my eyes.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Chef Xhang is a really old man, and I wouldn't want to stress him. And I'm not like you that love Chinese." Lexis said with so much joy flowing through her.

Not to deny it, lexis was acting totally weird. I guess she was finding it hard to balance the equations another personally out. She was missing her personality with that of Veronica and it was becoming too much for me to handle.

"Then I started craving your blood and you refused to let me have a bite." She continued as she wrapped her arms around me.

"What is wrong with you lexis. Get it together!" I shouted as I snapped my fingers in front of her face.

"I'm sorry, I think Veronica is missing you so much and that's affecting me." Lexis said as she unweaned her arms.

"I miss her too. Much more than you can imagine. Why can't she come out?" I asked, worry laced in my voice.

"I really don't understand. This is all Riona's fault. That bitch. Oh, if I can get my hands on her, I will strangle the god given life out of her." Lexis said turning red.

"What! You both are not in good terms?" I asked in shock. That was extremely weird. I mean they share the same body.

"Yuppp. I hate her. This is all her fault. I just can't explain right now. Oh.... Veronica, she is trapped in her dream." Lexis said

"How?"
"What exactly did you say to her?" Lexis asked.

We kept on walking as I explained everything to lexis. What I really was and my fears.

"You are what? A dragon rider? You much be joking right? Dragons still exist? How is any of this possible??" Lexis rambled, freaking out.

"Breath. Calm down."
"One...two...three. Breath...inhale, exhale." Lexis said, trying to calm herself down and control her breathing."

"Cool!!!" She shouted and the deer I have been keeping my eyes on from afar off, just ran away.

"Great. Our diner just ran off." I screamed out in frustration...more like just sighed. I was just too lazy.

"Forget food...Riona. So you lashed out on her and insulted her and you left her alone." Lexis confirmed, gaining a nod from me.

"How did you get out." I asked, stopping on my track.

"She was sad, so she was vulnerable. So yeah, I just came out." Lexis said with a smirk.

" so I just have to make you sad and vulnerable and Veronica will be out." I proclaimed with joy.

"Never. I want to spend time with you." Lexis said.

"Let's go hunting." Lexis added with joy as she dragged me down the forest paths.

She was saying something about how she almost got herself executed, because she punched an alpha unconscious.

"I was really angry okay. And he wouldn't just let me pass his stupid territory and I ..."

"Shh....someone else is here" I said slowing my pace.

"A fox?!? It's about time, I'm hungry." Lexis yelled, literally.

"Shut up." I hissed and then faced my full attention to the faint grass movements.

Just right under the hill, the sound kept increasing as she moved nearer using our vampire speed. I ensure I was quiet enough and prayed Lexis will get back to her serious and normal self, which actually miraculously happened.

"Who is there?" Lexis said in a demanding voice as her eyes glowed a brighter shade of red. Sexy if you may ask.

"It's a person?" Lexis confirmed.

A young girl to be precise. She didn't smell like a werewolf or a vampire or human. Then she must be a witch.

"Witch." Lexis hissed. My guess was right.

Everyone hated witches, but the fact that Lexis hated a path of herself baffled me. I was starting to get really curious as to what may have caused this hate.

We moved a lot closer and saw her crawling in the grass. She looked weak, famished and like she might die any minute.

"What was she doing her?" The exact questions I was about to ask Lexis before she beat me to it.

She slowly looked up and opened her sore lips and spoke. "Please, help me...plea-" her voice came out in a mere whisper and she immediately became unconscious.

I looked back at Lexis and she held the same expression as I did. Baffled.

"What should we do with it?" Lexis asked in the most inhumane tone ever...not that she was human or anything, but I was just shocked how her moods changes so quickly.

I thought for a second. What if she was bad? Sent from the Balian? Was sent on a mission from another of our many enemies? What to do?

"We will keep her" I said and hoped I hadn't made a big mistake. If I was, i would not think twice before ending it.

"What??" Lexis yelled stepping in front of me and obstruction my view from her.

"What if she is bad and works for Sebastian ?" Lexis was making a point but I was looking only at the positive outcome.

"What if she isn't and can be of help as a witch." I retorted.

"But what if." Lexis was been consistent. I couldn't ignore something wasn't right, but something was drawing me to her and that pull was stronger.

"Lexis, you may do the honors to end her, but I'm not taking the chances of having someone who can help us leave us . She was giving for a reason, and until that is found I'm keeping her." I said .

"I trust you."
