Luna's Daughter (1st Edit Done)

Chapter 20

Amaro Black

            I had such a great night with Aliyah; it was nice to be able to spend some time alone with her. My wolf was pushing me more and more each day to get closer to her, and I was getting tired of trying to fight it. I couldn't deny it I was really starting to like Ali too. Everything about her drew me into her; especially her intoxicating scent.

I couldn't help but pull her body closer to mine on the ride home. She looked like she was a little cold anyways so that worked for an excuse; although from the way she reacted I didn't need a reason for why I did it. It was so hard for me not to kiss her when I dropped her off; my wolf was tearing at my insides the whole way home for not doing it. I just didn't want to move too fast with her, and she already had a lot going on in her life right now with her new information on vampires and werewolves that she needed to get figured out.

I had just fallen asleep when I heard Tadeo's faint howl. My body instantly flew out of bed, out the house, and into wolf form. I didn't even have to think about it, I knew something was wrong. I had sent Tadeo over to her house to watch her; he wouldn't call out if something wasn't wrong.

"What's going on?" I asked Tadeo through mind link as I raced towards Ali's house.

"Amaro I'm so sorry; I tried to hold him off but..." Tadeo replied his voice fading out.

I could tell that he was hurt because he was having a hard time holding the mind link. Shit, what had happened? I would be so angry at myself if anything happened to Tadeo or Ali. My wolf raced forward at full speed only taking me a few minutes to reach the house. I could see Tadeo laying in wolf form on his side out in the yard and ran up to him. He whimpered a few times then pointed his nose to the deck where I saw the broken door.

Knowing that Tadeo would be ok once he had time to heal I rushed up the deck. I found Jordan standing there holding Ali's body against the wall; blood was dripping down her wrist. She looked so frail, so weak; anger coursed through my veins as I lunged at Jordan's throat. A look of surprise flashed across his face when he saw me but it was already too late. My teeth sunk into his neck and I bit down hard until I heard the bone break. I released him from my grip and grabbed his arm while stepping on his body and ripped it off, leaving muscles and tendons exposed as he cried out in pain. Moments later Harlin and Koda arrived and I let them take over ripping the body to shreds as I went to tend to Ali.

I walked up to her body still in wolf form to see her eyes slowly closing. Shit, I needed to do something and fast, but what do I do? I phased back into human form just as her father came through the door.

"She's bit!" I told him when he saw his daughter lying on the floor in my arms.

"How long ago?" He asked.

"I don't know maybe five minutes at the most. It had to of happened right before I got here," I answered.

"Get her in my office," He demanded as he rushed out of the room ahead of me.

I lifted Ali into my arms and followed her father to his office. He quickly removed everything from the desk in one swipe and I placed Ali down on top of it. Her father called me into the other room and was fumbling through some drawers when I got there. He handed me a bunch of different instruments and gave me instructions on what to do with them. I went back into the office, my hands full of different gadgets, I had no idea what they were all for; I set them all up like instructed and a few moments later her father was back in the room.

"We don't have long. I can smell the venom spreading in her system and her heart beat is slowing," I said nervously as I took her hand in mine.

"I know!" Her father said with anger; I couldn't blame him he was upset that he might lose his little girl. I watched as he hooked up different cords and tubes and applied an IV in the arm without the bite mark.

"Do you know your blood type?" Richard asked still not taking his attention off his work on his daughter.

"No," I said confused, what type of question is that.

He turned on some machine and placed a little cone shaped device over the bite mark on her wrist. I watched as the clear tube began to fill with red liquid; the smell of venom filled the air.

"I don't know if this is going to work or not but she doesn't have enough blood to support herself, I'm going to need yours," Richard said to me waiting to judge my reaction.

"Ok, if you think it will help. What do I have to do?" I said.

Richard rushed over to pull a few more tubes and needles out of his bag. He connected one end to the IV bag that was already hooked to Ali and to the other end he connected a needle and inserted it into my vein. The blood worked its way out of my arm, into the bag, then back down into her body.

We stayed like that for a good five minutes and my body started to feel weak and drained; her father disconnected the IV and made me lay down on the couch. Harlin went into the office and thoroughly sniffed out Ali to make sure that there was no venom left in her system. I watched helplessly from the couch as her father carried her body back into one of the rooms; I wished that I could go with her I was just too weak to move.

We had no idea what was going to happen, had anyone ever even sucked out vampire venom before? Not only that but has a werewolf ever donated blood to someone before? Her father was worried about what the effects would be on her too, but he couldn't find any answers even through all his research. The only thing that we could do is wait and see what happens with Ali. She had a stable heart beat now but other than that and breathing she didn't show any other signs of life.
