Awakening

149

A hand connected to the back of Eric's head as Willa pulled her new fangs from a donor, gasping as she looked around with a smile. He turned to look at Morgan, smiling sheepishly at her hard stare,

"No way" Willa said, shock in her voice when she looked at Morgan "you're a vampire too!"

"I am, sweetie" she replied with a small nod

"It's like everything's electric" smiling as she ran her hands through her hair

"Well, the world you knew as a human was a sliver of what you'll be feeling now" Eric informed, pocketing his money after paying the donor

"So what happens next?" giggling as she looked at him "are we gonna fuck? Do we hunt?" Morgan looking at her with a raised eyebrow

"You're going home, Willa" he answered "go home to your father. Let him see that his own child turned into the thing that repulses him most"

"You did this to me to get back at him?" her smile falling "you took my life!"

"Just as he's taken so many of ours" looking at her

"Oh, my god" she gasped "he was right. You're a fucking monster!"

She used her new speed and strength, shoving Eric back, but only managing to get him to move a few steps. But her maker grabbed her by her arms, effectively stopping her,

"Prove to your father that you're not a monster" he said, looking at her "make him understand that we were all once human. We are not to be hunted . . I've been around for over a thousand years, Willa Burrell. And you are the second vampire I've ever made. Now, I did not make this decision lightly. I have to send you back"

"No" she replied, shaking her head slightly

"As your maker, I command you" looking at her "go home to your father"

He released her arms, which allowed her to take a few steps back, looking toward Morgan for a moment, even though she knew the woman with white hair wasn't able to help. Willa was out of sight seconds later, Morgan letting out a heavy sigh through her nose, turning around and walking back toward the house.

"Älskling" Eric said, following her as she jumped over the fence that surrounded the property

"Is it difficult to talk to me?" She asked "is it really that hard to talk to me?"

"You know it's not" he replied

"Then why haven't you been?" stopping in her tracks, looking at him "the last few nights, you've practically been going rouge. I thought we were a team, the three of us. You, me and Alcide"

Eric took a moment to look at her, seeing that she wasn't angry with him, but more hurt that he would rather go off and do dangerous and stupid things on his own than ask her for help. He could tell that from the tears that formed in her eyes. A small sniffle emitted from her, shaking her head slightly, turning around and walking back toward the house. But a gasp emitted from her when her back met the bark of a tree, Eric standing in front of her, a hand at the back of her head.

"Let me go" looking at him

"I don't want you in danger" he growled

"I've been in danger since the moment I was born" she shot back

"I don't want you involved in this" looking at her

"I already am!" frustration in her voice

Morgan held out her hands, which caused Eric to be thrown back from her, the vampire landing on his feet as he continued to look at her.

"I may not be a two-fang" walking toward him "the humans may not know about four-fangs, but I am still your mate!" another force throwing him against a tree, keeping him there "I am involved in this war, no matter what you say or think" stopping directly in front of him "and, damnit, you will not fight this on your own like a savage viking" releasing him from her power

The second she did, Eric's lips were on hers, and as much as she thought about resisting, Morgan complied almost instantly. Her arms wrapped around his neck, the fingernails of one hand scratching against his scalp, both of them pouring every emotion they had into the kiss. He grasped Morgan's thighs, picking her up from the ground and wrapping her legs around his waist, his beautiful mate whimpering against his lips when she felt his hard length pressing against her. Eric lowered himself to his knees, sitting down and ripping her panties from her body,

"I'll buy you more" he promised at her irritated groan

Morgan was ready for him, as she always was, and she didn't want the foreplay this time, even though they both enjoyed it. Her hands reached in between them, unbuckling his belt, removing the button from his slacks and lowering the zipper, a low breath in relief emitting from the vampire. She slightly rose, guiding him to her entrance, throwing her head back as she slowly lowered herself down on him. A moan escaped her lips, which slightly increased when Eric lowered the left strap of her shirt, his fangs piercing his mark, one hand cupping the back of her head, while her other hand guided her hips. Morgan's hand grasped his shirt, ripping it apart and causing buttons to scatter in the grass, a growl emitting from him in return, but knowing how it felt whenever he literally ripped her panties. It had been a little while since the two of them had been alone, and they were not going to waste their time. One thing was sure in Eric's mind, this was only the first round. He was going to take some time with his mate.

His fangs pulled back from her skin, his eyes rolling to the back of his head when her hand tightly gripped his hair, moving his head to the side and piercing his skin with her own fangs, a groan emitting from him. It had also been some time since she fed from her vampire mate, and they both knew that, and he hated when she would only feed from Lex and Atlas when it couldn't be helped. She moaned against Eric's skin when he ground their hips together, creating delicious friction against her nub, her eyebrows furrowing slightly at the feeling of the familiar knot growing within her. Morgan continued to feed, rotating her hips to continue the friction, and Eric didn't protest against it, knowing it was making her clench around him like a vice. His hand tightened around her hip and in her hair, gently pulling her from his neck and claiming her lips with his own once more, this time tasting his own blood against her lips.

Eric removed his hand from her hair, trailing it downward before snaking under her crop top and bra, moving the garments up and exposing her breasts to the cool air of the night. Morgan threw her head back as the knot burst, letting out a loud moan as Eric continued to rotate her hips, feeling him reach his own high at the same time. He slowed down their movements, his beautiful mate looking at him, gently cupping his face in her hands and claiming his lips with her own, her breathing heavy.

"You don't have to fight this on your own" her voice soft "even though your life is bound with mine, you can still get hurt, and I don't want to see that happen"

"As long as you are with me, I won't ever get hurt" shaking his head slightly

"Don't jinx it" she smirked
