CHAPTER 27: I AM A SAD LOVER

I stared at everyone some people had already began fleeing from the clubhouse. Vampires were the worst at fighting they were too violent and reckless. Now bottles tables and chairs were broken making the place a fine mess. The place that was initially a fun zone to be free and relax nerves had now turned into a battle ground. I slumped on the floor watching the fight. Just then Aimee emerged from the lodging room her fangs extended. Her eyes were bloody red and mouth covered in blood. The humans who saw her began fleeing but they were no match for her at all, she moved in her super speed catching one after the other draining them all. She stood up in satisfaction after draining the last one of them wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.
The twins; Curl and Harrison were dusting their hands at last once they had ripped the gang into pieced and bundled them up in a heap. They looked at each other satisfied and turned to the two females at a comer shivering.
“Am sure they need company in hell, right?” Curl said to the trembling girls, the twins looked at each other and slowly began approaching them.
Megan had somehow managed to shut all the exits, now that they had revealed their true colours they could not risk being known by the outside world. Every human inside was to die! But that wasn’t right! There was another way out minus death, they could wipe out their memory or something like that. I am human and sitting here watching this crazy vampire’s rip everyone apart wasn’t a good thing at all. I struggled to stand up, holding the microphone limply.
Once I was on my feet I summoned my energy and yelled.
“STOOOOOP!!!”
Everyone froze turning to look at me.
“Are you crazy? What the hell do you think you are doing? Smearing blood is such a stupid and very ridiculous thing for a wise vampire to do…you…you can at least wipe their memories…triple M can do that right? After all he is a witch am I right?” everyone was frowning at me.
“Alright keep ripping them apart…am watching…continue headless beasts!” I yelled in frustration.
“Hypnotize her Derek” Jayden instructed, I smirked. After a few seconds Derek spoke.
“I can’t, she is a repellent to my power, maybe triple M can try” he pointed at the rich guy who had frozen every human present there. He was standing at the stairs leading up to the other floor.
“Why me while all of you are here?” triple M asked
“There is something strange about her, she repels to the power of all vampires. Maybe because you are a hybrid you can do it” Jayden confessed.
“Why are you struggling so much you dump vampires?” I asked slumping on the floor again “She told me…what was her name again…yeah that evil witch…Fe…Felicity! She told me…”
“What did she tell you?” triple M asked with interest, I laughed hard.
“Easy, it’s not like I got the answer to your death wish…she just told me am special and it is only one good man who is my weakness. Damn I hope and pray never to meet that asshole” I said bluntly.
“She is blocking me too, I can’t get through and she is doing absolutely nothing” Triple M said in confusion.
“Come on you are not the special man then instead wipe the memories of this humans and save your asses. Why waste time on me while you got me hooked long ago…poof! You made my life a living hell” I hiccupped again.
“Keep her quiet, she is yelling so much…walls have ears” cautioned Jayden.
“Useless…” this place was getting hotter and hotter “Too hot” I muttered standing up I peeled my t-shirt off remaining with my bra. I threw it away as everyone stared in disbelieve others shaking their heads. I reached for my pants then Grey emerged before me.
“Stop this nonsense Becky” he growled but I smiled instead.
“What? This place is hot. Are you scared they will see me naked? What am I hiding anyway? That headless sister of yours once had me naked in front of everyone with that Steel.” I laughed bitterly “she thinks I don’t know it was all her doing” I looked up at Grey “you are stopping me now while you are the same beast that stripped me in front of hundreds of vampires” I laughed bitterly again looking up at him.
“You asshole, why did I even fall for you in the first place ha? Why do I fuckin’ care about you, you damn beast! I hate you, I hate you so much.” I stopped something striking me hard, I stepped away from me “am insane right? Your mate will show up someday and I will be the one breaking into nothingness” I laughed bitterly “How unlucky you got Becky…take heart you had no idea your heart will be won by a beastly vampire” tears clouded my eyes. Grey eyed Jayden who shrugged his shoulders.
I stepped in front of him again grabbing his shirts “Come on pretty boy, hypnotize me if you can, strike me unconscious because am hurting right here” I pointed at my chest. He only stared at me rendering me helpless, I pushed him away frustrated. He skidded backwards halting almost half a meter away. I turned away tearing up.
“I hate you all, I hate you so much to begin with that crazy father of mine. Why was I born a Gala oh ill-fated girl” I laughed bitterly then stopped everything disappearing from my head, I turned to look at Grey smiling bitterly.
“So it is you? You are the man ha?” I asked trembling “You are the man, she was talking about. Why does it have to be you?” I yelled.
“It is working” Jayden exclaimed as my feet gave away, my vision blurred as the smell of rain engulfed me. A figure took me in its arms hugging me closely. It was Grey! His scent filled my nostrils travelling through my body that now I felt like I had suddenly sneaked into a secret paradise. I slumped in his arms eyes closing slowly.
“You…you are the man…
“I am the man Becky, and strangely we are to be…forever!” he whispered, I had no strength to speak anymore but I struggled to remain conscious.
“You should be on your way, it is three hours to dawn. That will give my men some time to clean up before I break the spell on this humans” Triple M said.
“Ari…get the kids we are leaving” Ethan commanded.
I could hear figures moving around and my weight being lifted off the ground. After some time a cold breeze brushed my bare skin, I clung onto Grey’s neck shivering. Voices began fading and I was only left with the smell of rain invading the air around me. It remained like that till I could hear, smell or feel nothing at all. Darkness took over.


My lids flattered open, I was in dark my body plastered on a solid one. A pair of hands were draped around my wait securing me in place. My own were clinging onto a white shirt my face buried in a masculine chest. The smell of rain, Grey! My eyes widened as I looked up at his handsome face. He was asleep but his brows were pulled together. He must have slept while he was mad about something or very angry. I released the shirts caressing his face, I traced my fingers all over his face memorising his features every single curve of it. He was the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my boring life. His cheeks were smooth, tough and manly, his nose was small and cute, and I poked it smiling at myself. His long lashes were dark and dangerous. His lips were red and moist, I traced my fingers on them, his brows relaxed for a second and knitted again. His rude manly chin was smooth and clean shaved, his Adams apple was what made me admire his tout neck so much. I sank my fingers in his hair stroking his hair softly. This is what I did those days he was ill and asleep on his bed, unmoving. He used to relax, and sleep soundly. Within no time his brows relaxed and his almost unrecognizable breath was even. He shifted holding me in place closer to him. I smiled happily peace and serenity flooding my heart. I was always at peace around him though he made me freak out sometimes. He was my home, my place of rest and hope.
Why am I even thinking like this? I smiled knowingly as the answer came to mind crystal clear. I was so much in love with him. I kissed his Adams apple and whispered.
“I love you Grey” before slipping into the realm of dreams.


I woke up before Grey, my head was banging as if someone was drumming in my skull. I retracted my hand from Grey’s abs pressing my temples squeezing my eyes shut. I slowly got out of bed sneaking to the bathroom to take a shower. Halfway in the shower, I heard someone open the main door and walk in, my super-duper hearing abilities were sickening sometimes. I could hear almost everything and avoiding it was a very huge problem.
“I brought your hangover soup Becky, be quick Abi is waiting” Ari called.
“Alright, am almost done” I yelled back.
Well, Grey couldn’t hear us since his senses were completely numb. He could take long to sense or it was rather…I had terminated his senses completely with my very hands. How foolish, but what choice did I have at that moment, did I have any?
I finished showering quickly rushing to the room to get dressed. I had finished pulling up my shorts when I heard Grey’s voice from behind me.

“What great view we had here?” he said huskily startling me. I jumped back in fear turning to face him. He was sitting on the bed, the quilt covering his long legs and thighs. His upper body was bare exposing his alluring abs. I gulped my cheeks burning, hot.
“Um, how was your sleep hope you rested well” I said trying to ignore his teasing. Keeping my eyes to myself, I escaped towards the table where the hangover soup was placed.
“I slept well, what about you?” he asked ruffling his hair lazily
“Fine, am doing great” I gulped the soup nervously emptying the bowl “I think I should go now I got some task to handle. Have a good time” I smiled faintly avoiding his gaze the whole time.
I escaped towards the door, I grabbed the door knob relieve overwhelming my entire being. I was finally escaping his taunting gaze. As soon as the thought sneaked into my mind, I felt a strong wind brushing my back. I turned around and in that instance my back was slammed on the door. I gasped in surprise then my mouth was captured with enticing soft lips. My heart rammed against my ribs a bubbling feeling overwhelming my entire being. I was in daze for a moment then I got lost entirely, my hands that were trembling beside me found their way round his neck digging my fingers into his thick ink black hair. I was lost, lost from reality that I couldn’t think of anything more or less other than him. Grey!
The vampire that was driving me to the edge and I was walking right into darkness mindlessly, willingly, hopelessly. We parted leaving no time for me to breath, he captured my neck, nibbling on it like his life depended on it, in no time we were both in bed, I was under him gone jelly and stupid from it. I was going crazy, and it wouldn’t be so hard for me to resist him in any way. What made me peak at reality for a moment, was how his fangs grazed on my skin calculatedly as if he was looking for a perfect spot to sink them. This was bad, if he marked me while we were in this state, then I would end up being his chosen mate, which won’t be so pleasant when his Becky will show up! It pinched my heart knowing I had no chance with him in any way!
Like hell it was five damn months and I was now head over heels for him to the point I couldn’t resist him. It was weird, like there was a force a magnetic force attracting me towards him that I could not resist. It made my head spin and my body and soul go limb that the only choice I was left was to surrender.
As I was lost in my thoughts, I felt his cold wet fangs sinking into my skin slowly and carefully.  Held my breath waiting for the promised pain…then they stopped for a second and finally he pulled away. He remained on the same spot for a while his hot breath caressing my skin intimidatingly. Finally he climbed off the bed leaving me there, frustrated from the ecstasy that was suddenly snatched from my grasp.
I opened my eyes to find him it was when his fangs were decreasing and eyes shifting back to their normal green colour.
He smirked “Don’t you have any mercy for yourself? Were you so willing to surrender your damn spirit to this monster” he asked
My brows knitted in confusion, he scoffed then continued.
“In all my life, you are the very first damn stupid human I have seen and heard of” he was too serious this couldn’t be teasing right? Was it a dream either way? I slowly pulled my hand to pinch my bare waist. No it was painful, this wasn’t a dream, it was the fuckin’ reality that I have been running away from and wished never to encounter. Foolish! Foolish!
Oh, how I had thought my life was a paradise to be in love with a mother fuckin’ vampire? Did I forget that misery and suffering were my two lovely names? Oh, jeez…how wonderful was it to live in the world of fantasy. I sat up crossing my legs, staring at the door.
“What do you have to say to your stupid characteristic Becky, is it stupidity or you are so damn brave that you don’t care if you are tied under me ha?” he asked anger bubbling within me “Or you thought I was going to work with the stupid word you kept on saying from the previous night and when it was time for every vampire to be in bed.” He laughed mockingly “let me tell you something, or rather advice you or should I call it enlightening? I don’t do love sweetheart. For the many years I have lived I just fuck and ditch, and am sure you don’t want that am I right?” he smirked tears began rolling down my cheeks.
“Am not sorry for letting you know this, you better know it sooner than later, for your own good, so you will stop going all jelly at a simple kiss. You should remember, for me it is just sex, helping me get through my ruts…simple. Of course you don’t do that and so, there are many humans out there and even female vampires that really want the same thing as I do. I can use them to help me through it. And so please, stop trying to make me feel guilty by coming with those deceitful words as ‘I love you’. You are not getting me and besides, you are just human. Someday my mate will show up, I don’t want to bear the guilt that I only used you a naïve human virgin and ditched you. So please, am warning you…keep your distance from this heartless monster!”
Tears kept leaking from my eyes as I recalled what actually happened that night, I had confessed my feelings before everyone like a fool. I had said to him how much I loved him, no wonder he and Jayden had glanced at each other knowingly. They were laughing at me the fool I had become. I wanted to laugh at myself but the anger bubbling within me…was reaching its peak!
I shifted my red teary eyes to him studying his features from head to toe. His hair reaching his shoulders, well kempt dark as the starless night sky caressing his smooth forehead. His high cheekbones, piercing green eyes endowed with long thick black lashed. His cute nose, blood red lips, a rude chin. His neck was thick, tout. His wide large and masculine shoulders could make one gulp. His thick chest…tarn and cubes on his stomach, long athletic legs could make a misogamist to change her complete view about marriage. I blinked my tears away trying to keep my anger at check.
“You mean every word you said Grey, am I right” I held my gaze with his, but he shifted his gaze and snorted.
“I don’t have to confirm my words, I meant every single detail of it. Take it or leave it, it is none of my concern” he spat carelessly.
I gripped on my anger once more and asked “Then why did you kiss me?”
“To confirm to you who the fool was, to make you see that am the only one with the ability to make you surrender to me wholly, but you are not enough to turn my senses upside down at all. No matter what you do!”
That was too harsh, too real, too inhuman, too much to bear. I squeezed my eyes shut anger bubbling within me like mercury rising in a thermometer once subjected to high temperatures. Something wanted to burst within me, like a ticking bomb that was about to explode. I gripped on it tightening the hold on the sheets, my eyes shut. Sweat began trailing down my back and forehead. I could not hold it, not anymore not when I was humiliated by the one man I love beyond repair.
My eyes snapped open, I saw Grey shifting back. I was seeing red everything disappeared in the room, all I could see were a group of vampires laughing on my face and Grey’s words stinging in my ears. I climbed off the bed staggering trying to reach the door so I could escape the irritating laughter’s ringing in my ears. I knocked something, bumped into another, my hands landing on something. Then I felt things blocking my way, I pushed them all away they clattered on the floor. I began searching for the door, the door was cold, and it had no knob! It was so smooth and cold to my touch. The confusion slowly began distinguishing my anger. I mages began forming again.
I realized I was standing before the mirror, my palm plastered on the mirror. Everything on the dressing table was cluttered on the floor, some broken. I lifted my gaze to the mirror to find my eyes burning blue and the bed behind me was being consumed with a gentle blue flame. I turned around blinking severally. Was I hallucinating?
No it was real, the blue flames were consuming the quilt and the comfy pillows. I gasped in shock, Grey was also staring at the bed in surprise. Was that my doing? Before I could think of an answer a sharp pain pierced my head that I ended up seeing darkness and collapsing to the floor.
