Emberlynn's POV
The sound of the door knocking, jolted us away from each other. Zayne quickly stood up from his seat and walked to the door, while I hurriedly strapped my bra back on and put my sweater back on.
What just happened?
I hear Zayne swear when he gets to the door, I turn my head to see what he was swearing at. Our eyes connect when he turns to me, "I need you to sit on the couch and not say or do anything unless I tell you, understand?" he says.
I look at him with confusion, but do as he say, "Okay" I say as I go to sit down on the couch.
Who's at the door?
Once Zayne sees I'm seated, he opens the door. "What the hell do you want?" he snaps, his attitude completely changing. I'm not used to seeing Zayne in such a snappy mood, I'm used to seeing him calm, and focused on doing his work. So, seeing his rude and stern self is different for me.
"Good to see you too, man." a voice from outside the door spoke.
Who is it?
All the sudden a man pushed past Zayne and walked in, holding a leash pulling in a girl with him. My breath hitched when I realized who he was. He was another vampire, and the girl on his leash was his pet.
The last time I saw a vampire and it not being Zayne, was his father and we all know how that went.
My blood then ran cold when I saw bite marks all around the girl's neck and arms.
I then became somewhat grateful that I was Zayne's pet, even though I've only been with him for a few days, he hasn't once drunk with me except for the time with his father where he was forced to. But then again, that doesn't mean he could get totally sick of me and drain me of my blood one day.
I watched as the man walked around the room like he owned the place, looking at every detail in the room as if he had never been in the room before. He looked similar but yet so different to Zayne. Instead of black hair, his was a light chestnut brown color and just slightly shorter in length to Zayne's' and much curlier. Instead of piercing blue eyes, his are an emerald green and lastly his body looks to be less built than Zayne's' too.
But what set them apart the most was that he also looked to be more alive than Zayne. His eyes looked more alert, and his face was full but still sharp and chiseled. While Zayne looked to be much more tired, his eyes were sunken in and had very dark circles under his eyes and his face looked to be thinner, but still sculpted.
It may be because Zayne is a prince and has lots of work and stays up late signing or writing papers, but he looked like death compared to the man next to him.
My thoughts stop when the man spots me on the couch, and I freeze.
The man's lips curled into a wicked grin looking at me, "Well hello there." he spoke.
"Zach leave her alone," Zayne bit out.
The man, who is named Zach, let go of the leash his pet was attached to and continued to walk towards me, "Oh calm down Zayne, I just want to see the infamous pet, that made the vampire prince almost throw up at dinner last night." he chuckled.
Throw up?
"Oh, my hell you're still on this?" Zayne asked, annoyed.
Zach came to a stop in front of me and bent down so we were eye to eye. My heart at this point was beating out of my chest, as I slowly leaned back to increase the distance between us. But was stopped by a hand on the back of my neck.
I gasped at the contact, and tried to pull back but he was too strong.
"Ooo a feisty one," he spoke, bringing his face closer to mine.
"Zach, I swear to God, let her go now!"
He ignored Zayne, and brought his face down to my neck, making me let out a whimper scared he was going to bite into me and suck me dry. But instead of biting me, he smelled me. Taking a deep inhale from my neck and slowly bringing his head away from my neck and back in front of my face. He frowned slightly, "Hmm interesting."
He pulled away from and released my neck from his hold. I finally felt like I could breathe again and relaxed against the couch while releasing a heavy sigh, relieved I didn't get another bite in my neck.
"Was that really necessary?" Zayne said, ready to rip Zach's head off.
"I just wanted to know what all the hype was about, you know, to see what made you not want to drink your gross animal blood anymore." he answered.
"Anymore? I had animal blood this morning" Zayne said.
Zach then walked over to the cart that had our eaten breakfast and picked up the glass still full of blood, he looked to Zayne, "You did?" he smirked.
Zayne's jaw clenched as he stared Zach down. "Get. Out." he seethed.
"Alright, alright." he finally said, setting the glass down and walked over to his pet and grabbed her leash. "I'll leave, but I don't know what you're so fantasized about. I didn't smell anything spectacular enough to make me want to make me drain every ounce of blood from her. He spoke smirking at the end of his sentence glancing at me as well.
Chills ran down my spine.
What the hell?
"Come on, Rue." he spoke to his pet, Rue being her name, and she followed him out.
When the door shut, Zayne and I just sat there frozen and basking in the silence, confused on what just happened.
I was then brought back to what happened before the knock came to the door. I blinked,
Did we almost kiss?"
