Hidden Joy

Five

Up in his room, Darius began to regret not offering to stay with her. He wanted to see her. Wanted to hold her. Wanted to mark her. Wanted to Fuck her. He couldn't help but wanting to. He was hers and she was his. What was expected of him? Then there was Jane. The ever disapproving doctor who wanted to spare his uncle the realization that his long lost daughter loved his daughter. He wanted to be able to show it to everyone but with Debbie downer about he couldn't. He couldn't be with her all the time. He just couldn't. Not if he valued his life. He sat on his bed trying not to think of her. Trying not to want her. It hit him that gym training was happening for the new recruits and he could lend a hand. Matthew was sure to be tired since the twins had a rough day. He dressed in his gym clothes and headed out of his room. Her smell hit him, making him instantly hard. He groaned and tried to quickly step back into his room. He shut the door and sighed in relief. The smell could effect him any way it wanted while he was in his room. A knock announced the arrival of someone. He jumped on the bed and grabbed a book. He let out a come in and the door opened. It was his mother.
"Son, Jane came to see me not too long ago. We need to talk." she said calmly.
This couldn't be good, could it?

She had known he was avoiding her. It was something she always knew would happen. What was he so afraid of? Who was he afraid of? Her father? Though he looked scary, she had a feeling someone soft and caring was inside. She had hoped so at least. He came to see her when enshrined was released to her room. So did his wife. Bella was nice. She was shocked she had a sibling but it was nice. She didn't know what to say or do around them. It wasn't something she was happy about. She hoped that Darius could visit her soon. She had plans to love him with all her might. She wouldn't loose him due to her fear and awkwardness around men.
Her sister was visiting and she so desperately wanted to share her feelings but was afraid.
"Phoenix, it has to be weird finding out your a vampire. Right? I mean I grew up knowing I would become one. You knew nothing?" She said softly.
"I knew. My mother knew. She filled me in. She told me all about how my father was a vampire and that I could potentially become one too. So I braced myself for it." She said calmly. "It's just not everyday I wake up holding hands with someone who makes me feel whole. Makes me feel safe. Makes me feel beautiful."
"You've found your mate."
"My mate? What does that mean?"
"Just that. Having a mate is like true love. You have it forever." Nalla explained. "When you find your mate, they become all you care about. The male will do whatever it takes to make you happy. Need a brotherly hug, he's there. Need protection, count on him. Need love and tenderness, you got it, it's him. He's your everything. All you think about. All you want. I've heard the sex is amazing between mates, but as I'm still single that's up in the air. So tell me. Who is he?"
"Darius."
Nalla gasped and smiled. "He's the nicest of them all. So sweet and shy. He is a doll. Why aren't you enjoying him?"
"Jane said to keep away from him in front of Z. Said it would set him off."
"Already learned dad's nickname. Look, he's a softy, I'll help deal with him."
"Thanks but shouldn't I figure this out on my own?"
"I am your sister. I know out father well. Trust me on this. I'll help."
Phoenix smiled and hugged her sister.
"Go talk to him." Nalla urged Phoenix.
