He grabbed my back and head tilting me sideways to expose my neck. My eyes were shut focussing on keeping my spirit intact and sane. His breath caressed my bare skin sending tingles all over my body. His fangs grazed on my neck playfully, he licked a certain spot, stroked with his tongue before his fangs sunk into my flesh. It sent shivers and ecstasy through my veins a sudden urge bumbling at the pit of my stomach sending me to cloud nine. I was in daze, the beautiful sensation melting within me, stroking and wiping the world away. We were drunk with the feeling, the atmosphere and the sudden urges building up.
When he broke off, he licked the wound healing it instantly. We remained close, he was panting falling out of control and it seemed the body I was confined in was following blindly. Our lips brushed, we both tensed taking in air sharply. He couldn’t control it, and was I going to let him suffer? I mean the body wasn’t mine I was just controlling it, it was more of a vessel so a kiss won’t hurt. After all my body was sleeping on Grey’s bed peacefully.
I stared into his eyes, his hands that were cupping my face trembled, fighting the urge. My own hands were holding onto his shirts staring back at him…wait what was the colour of this eyes? No idea, never took time to check. But it was strange…having a body you didn’t know how it looks. I almost laughed, but my new body…okay…borrowed was so caught up in the moment that it wasn’t responsive to its master.
He was fighting the urge, while I was more than ready to consent…why was this situation awkward? I closed my eyes leaning into him, he got the signal I was giving him and initiated the kiss. My body responded fully as I kept my spirit a bay, away from this act and emotions that didn’t involve me at all. He was enjoying it, enjoying his mate, how I wished her spirit was the one present in this body so he can enjoy what was his from the inside to the outside? I don’t know how long it took coz sincerely speaking I wasn’t keeping up with anything he was doing. I was thinking letting the body take its course. He broke off burying his head on my neck, shoulders relaxing, breathing even mind clear…good. I clapped for myself internally. He stepped back after some time staring into my eyes.
“Thank you” he murmured.
“No need, you had to enjoy your mate’s body…I mean” I smiled at him which he returned.
“Can I hug you?” he asked sweetly.
“This body is all yours, mine is somewhere in Vines coven” I answered.
He smiled and pulled me into his arms heaving a sigh “am very grateful it was you who had to reside in my mate’s body. Maybe if it was someone else, I couldn’t have met her in any way and have a reason. Thank you”
“No need” we disengaged from the embrace sighing. “So can you tell me your crazy name coz this crazy body of your mate, doesn’t seem to give a damn”
He laughed melodiously, damn you Regina! I fuckin’ envy you. Your mate is so cute when he laughs, and that sumptuous neck of his…whoosh! Once you get back am sure you will be enjoying your drink whole heartedly. Damn! And his laughter, nothing less than honey, I licked my lips sub-consciously.
“Clark Gavin” he answered.
“Wow, you got a pompous name over there” I exclaimed
He laughed again “Clark, like wow, don’t you feel the pomposity in that name especially when you emphasize the ‘r’ like Clark” I dragged the ‘r’ and he laughed so loud.
“Are you always this chatty, just a moment ago you looked like a small devil with your threats and straight forwardness? You freaked me out”
“Sure I did” I punched his chest lightly “my friend Ethan thinks the same about me”
“And Grey?” I rolled my eyes
“He is a pain in the ass, he never laughs, let alone smiling. Cold and aloof. His aura chokes I mean so fuckin’ dominant” I said
Clark smiled “You got some nerve ha?”
“Don’t tell me you are his secret agent” I imitated breaking my head and dropped my head. He struck my forehead with his index finger and chuckled.
“You are such a kid, I would love to see you in person”
“Don’t be too eager, coz I look so much like Regina, I have no idea why. When I was in Vines coven at first, everyone was gossiping all over about it. I have no clue why we look alike…oh, and we have the same liking…pianos. Like damn can’t help sneaking into her piano room all the time” he laughed again
“Where have you been all this time? Man! I can laugh all day around you” I rolled my eyes sitting on the stool
“Same words Ethan told me when we became friends, where have you been, hell where have I been? By the way where have I been?” he chucked and struck my forehead again.
I pouted at him “Don’t do that, I feel like a kid” I complained. He giggled sitting beside me his face was livelier now, indeed love can do wonders.
“Should I try summoning her spirit we see if we can link them together?” I asked
“No, you are way too powerful for her body to contain. Am a patient man”
Okay, I surrender “wonderful, that is good” I nodded “I need to continue with my journey now. Stay here to keep safe then I will come back and find a way to get you a place of belonging”
“I will come along, I know where Dom is, and I know his strategies. I can convince him to meet up with you and work a solution out. He listens that is the good thing but his actions are always unpredictable”
“Great!” I exclaimed let’s move, and keep the flute in the mean time when I will be returning to the cemetery you will give it to me so I can fulfil your wish. So let’s go” I headed towards the exit, he followed.
“Do you love adventures?” he suddenly asked
“Oh, sure I do” I answered then he whistled. There was silence for some time then I heard rustling of leaves and trembling bushes. A minute later two large…and I mean large wolves emerged from the bushes. My eyes went wide. I glanced at him, he wore a cheeky smirk.
“Don’t tell me we are…”
“Oh, yes we are Becky” he answered swinging onto the back of the female wolf holding onto the thick belt on her neck. The male stared at me. I inhaled sharply getting onto his back. Wow, comfy!
I held the belt tight staring at Clark who extracted a piece of cloth from his trouser pocket holding it out for the two wolves to sniff. They looked at each other and growled silently then…they sped off. I was almost blown off by the wind. I hugged the male tightly the little heart in my chest seemed to have paused for a moment. Clark laughed out loud like a small kid.
“Wuhu, Becky how are you doing there?”
“I think I will die out of heart attack” I yelled at him
“Not yet, you haven’t gotten the fun part” he laughed happily
“Don’t tell me something that will make me collapse already” I cried as he kept laughing
“Oh yeah we are close. One kilometre ahead” he called laughing speeding off past me. The male tailed its female closely. Well yeah, speed wasn’t a problem…the problem was…I had no idea what the problem was but I was freaking out!
“We are close!” Clark yelled after sometime.
There it was a freaking steep hill. My heart…it wasn’t mine but damn I was in control of it but….
The wolves scrambled uphill paws digging into the dirt, eyes sharp and focused. Ears erect determined as if there was nothing on their backs. We reached the peak I sighed trying to breath but I was paralyzed when I heard Clark yell.
“The fun continues Becky!” he rolled into a series of laughter’s
“Stop talking Clark….
Words froze in my throat as the wolves sped downhill, I scream all the way to the foot of the hill. Clark was laughing his ass off. I realized we had stopped and the wolves were leaning backwards, the hell….
“Don’t tell me they are…”
“Oh yes Becky, we are” he laughed happily “Hold tight baby girl and don’t die too early” he teased rolling into laughter’s again “Let’s go”
The paws of the wolves dug into the dirt then they sped off faster than before for some time, then they lowered their bodies and leapt releasing howls along.
My eyes went wide staring down at the deep, wide river rolling furiously. My eyes wide, throat dry, breath caught and the little heart thudding. The world stopped, everything happening in a slow motion…chocking me. Before I knew it we landed on the other side. My heart lurched I wanted to die. I was still in shock when Clark spoke.
“Are you okay?” he asked
“More…than…okay” I stuttered falling off the wolves back to the ground and kissed the dirt. “I missed you” I whispered to it before lying facing the sky above.
Clark was still laughing when he got off his wolves to sit beside me.
“How was it?” he asked happily
“Suicidal” I whispered still traumatized.
“Height phobia” he asked
“You could say that” I nodded sitting up, the wolves were sitting a distance away, the river was a few meters away. “Let’s…keep distance from the river, or am dying right here” I said getting up moving away till I was certain we were a safe distance. I looked around at the evergreen forest, tall trees, and thick undergrowth…just beautiful.
“You ride them often?” I asked
“Sure I do” he nodded “I love it”
“I thought so” I nodded “You are crazy” I concluded and he laughed.
“Laughing seems to be your hobby” I added
He smiled “You are just interesting and funny. A whole package in one”
“If you say so, tell me about you. Which coven did you belong previously?” he looked at me for some time
“Flames coven, I followed Dom because Keith is not a good master at all. You are more of confined there with not even a little or a speck of freedom. He behaves like a ruthless king, you serve him, worship him…everything is about him. He is not like Grey, Grey doesn’t mistreat his people, and they got their privacy and freedom to make choices and suggestions. In Flames coven. You can’t, if you go against him, he will kill you or suck you dry” I flinched.
“He visited a few months ago” I said
“Something bad happened am I right?” I nodded and he smiled victoriously
“Grey killed his brother!” I stated face down “he tried to attack me. Grey was furious, he killed him on the spot. Steel got mad because of it and attacked Grey. I was actually the one to be attacked but I repelled against their powers. Grey was furious and tried to intervene so got hurt. I looked after him till he recovered” I paused “when he recovered no one knew so Keith visited to take revenge, he wanted to suck me dry, that is when Grey emerged. They threatened each other and fought. Grey was leaving when Keith attacked from behind. I blinded him then he clawed my back, Grey kicked him off”
“You guys are in love” he applauded
“You could say, I am in love. For him, he despises me and I never fight a losing war” I felt low then asked “Grey said something about Keith killing his mate is that true?”
“Sure it is. His mate had tried to beg him to change, stop killing people and being aggressive. She pressed him so much but he wasn’t ready to back down. A certain day, his brother released a bunch of human girls he had kidnapped to drink from, this got Keith very mad. He called his brother at the council, though the twelve members were there he was the one to explain, discern and decide”
“Ridiculous!” I snorted
“He attacked his brother, trying to suck him dry then his mate Rosé intervened. He was furious and violent. He grabbed her, the brother took the chance to run off thinking Keith would be reasonable because she was his mate. He sucked her dry and threw her on the rooftop. In the morning as soon as the first sunray touched her beautiful skin, she turned into dust and ashes that were blown by the wind. He didn’t even give her a proper burial. Seeing his brutality…when Dom suggested the idea of severing bonds I did it without thinking twice. I thought I was saving myself I didn’t think that maybe my mate will show up some day and be slaughtered in the hands of…the man we followed!” he said sadly.
“David…Gala hue was the beginning if the whole thing?” I asked cautiously
“He is…” he sighed shifting his position “it was long ago, vampires lived in peace, interacted with humans but carefully not to be discovered. We were happy and free…yet some vampires chose to be in the covens hiding from the world, warriors were not given the freedom to be free out in the world for security purposes. Dom was one of them and he really wanted to be free. He escaped but his mate and coven bond always dragged him back home. He was frustrated then he met David who taught him a one go spell. This spell can only be performed once, if used again it won’t work. He was asked to gather people with the same ambition before casting the spell. He succeeded having no idea it was a simple way of turning rogue, not a way of getting freedom” he paused staring into the distance.
“We followed him and met David at some strange forest who teleported us to his underground hiding place. He questioned us a lot on vampires which we foolishly answered with all due respect. We had no idea we were betraying our kind. A few months later we were attacked without enough soldiers, most of us died. A lot of them suffered that is where Regina also met her sad fate. I lost her, right now I could have been somewhere safe with her not running around homeless, helpless” he sighed wearing a sad face
“It is not your fault Clark, when we are desperate we take desperate decisions to get ourselves somewhere safe without thinking of the outcomes. Don’t blame yourself or anyone else things happen in life, when we can’t change them we make amends” I tried to lift the guilt off his shoulders.
“What happened later?” I inquired again
“We realized we have made a mistake and left from David’s underground chamber. We lived among the humans cautious it was hard, dangerous since David could not stop threatening us. His happiness was when we were in trouble or rather causing trouble. That was our life, running, hiding and causing trouble. Then” he looked at his hands inhaling sharply “one day we had been attacked by some humans who had found out about our existence. We ran off to the wild since they had powerful weapons. Then we sat down and questioned ourselves. What if we had stayed where we belong, could we be running if we had learnt to deal with our problems instead of running away? We saw how stupid it was to believe someone so quickly without thinking of why the deal was too good. We decided to return back to the people who love us and care without asking for anything in return”
He stood up walking a few meters away “It is not easy though, because we committed treason and in our political life, it is not something like any other crime. It can’t be forgiven. You die or leave and never get back, as simple as being forgotten” he sighed “that is why we could not simply walk into our respective covens, seek forgiveness and that be it! We had to use threats and that is why we captured those students.”
“I understand now. I met Elia, not physical meeting but she was in Vines coven. She misses Dom, she is lonely wants to be loved and be with her mate but still, she can’t forgive Dom. She is bitter!” I answered.
“Am hoping Flora will help me to come up with a solution to the problem at hand. It is complicated but am hoping, I will be able to solve it” I sighed joining him “We should continue before it is too late to save them. When Grey left, he was very pissed am pretty sure he won’t hold back or think again. He will kill Dom!” “Let’s go” he led the way through a narrow path, the sky was becoming darker indicating nightfall. I hoped we would be okay and make it in time and above all come up with a suitable solution to solve the problem. We walked for long till it was night time, we decided to rest for a few hours before resuming with our journey.
