Always Been You

Chapter 11

Mateo's POV

"Mateo! So great to see you."

"It's great to see you too Xander."

" You had to wait to be summoned before you could visit."

" I've been busy."

" With your business, I've noticed." He paused before he spoke again. " The annual meeting is to be held next month and you're expected to reunite your coven. I'm hoping this year is going to be different, with you and Hugo."

" You should tell that to him. I'm not the one who always goes out of their way to fight with him."

" But..."

" I don't mean to be disrespectful Xander but why am I here? I dropped everything I was doing and surely it wasn't to be told about the coven meeting and Hugo. You could have sent a text or called."

" Yes you're right. I always underestimate your intelligence."

He smiled as he began to realise the real reason he was called here.

" Hey Mateo, Hi Godfather."

"Karen!"

" Hello Karen." He didn't even turn to look at her, " I assume she's the real reason I'm here."

" Yes she is. You are aware of Karen's feelings, yes?"

" Feelings? Towards?"

" Her feelings about you, you know just how much she admires you and she wishes for an alliance between the two of you."

"I've told her multiple times that she and I will never be."

"Why can't that be?"

" She's not my type."

" You haven't given her a chance..."

" I have, and she doesn't do it for me. I really would appreciate it if you don't ever corner me like this again."

" Mateo, I told you. I'll change for you."

" See what I mean. Maybe Hugo would want her not me."

Karen's obsession with Mateo started when she was growing up. He was her first crush. She could not wait to grow up so that maybe finally Mateo would look at her. Everytime she visited her Godfather she would find him here, and he never batted an eye at her. She thought it was because she was young and maybe when she was older he'd look at her like a grown up, but he never did.

She had asked her Godfather to turn her into a vampire but he wouldn't and he ordered nobody else to, nobody would ever disobey Xander so they never did. She finally decided to go into Mateo's room one night after her 28th birthday party when he was drunk. She seduced him and he finally took her. After that he came to her a couple of times when he was stressed but he'd always throw her out after. He never even looked at her, he would go out when she was still asleep come back and take a shower and call her a cab and not even once turn back to look at her.

" Godfather talk to him."

" I can't say anything that would change his mind."

" But I love him."

" Xander, can I go now?"

" Godfather, please!"

" Mateo, if you marry her for at least 5 years, I'll help you find what you've been looking for your whole life."

He thought he was going to stay overnight and return the next day but he went back immediately. He couldn't stay another second at that place. He needed something to take his mind off what Xander what said. His hands were trembling, he needed to feed. He never fed twice in a month but he needed to otherwise his emotions would get the better out of him and he  might end up doing something he didn't want to do.

He entered the mansion gate, he was going to lock himself in the dungeon until his desires had subsided and if they didn't he'd have to call Chase to come help him. He didn't want Ed to help him since he was human and if he lost control he might kill him. On his way to the house, he smelled something or rather someone and it wasn't Ed.

He opened the door and flashed to where he could smell the presence.

"You scared me. I'm sorry. I know you're going to fire us Mr Miller but please try to understand. My friend had a test to write and I had an emergency I had to attend to. Your housekeeper said it was okay for me to clean since you won't be coming. I'm sorry I promise I'll be done right now and leave."

He wasn't listening to anything she was saying. His eyes went dark and were only focused on her nape. It looked really inviting. No, if he does it he's really going to kill her this time.

" Mr Miller, are you okay?"

" Leave! Now!" He looked the other way

" But I can't leave I have to finish first."

" I don't care, leave." his voice was hoarse, he was really fighting the devil inside of him from tearing her apart.

"Okay, let me please just finish this up and I'll leave."

He banged his hand in the wall. She was really testing him and his patience was really running out.

" You're bleeding." She took the  cloth and handed it to him. " I'm sorry for stressing you out. I'll leave right away." She looked at his hand in concern.

" Why are you looking at me like that?"

" I'm sorry. You're bleeding."

He looked at his hand and saw the blood tricking down.  He looked at her collecting her things. He suddenly pounced on her.

" What are you doing?"

He grabbed her by the hand and flashed with her to his bedroom.If he wasn't going to feed on her then at least he should feed his other desires.
