The Vampire's New Mate (One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 16- Waking Up

Alex's POV

The next day, I woke up feeling... Different. Which, I guess is to be expected. A yawn escaped my mouth as I slipped out of bed and headed down the stairs.

Obviously I'm going for the kitchen... It's a Godly place. As I neared the kitchen, I could hear the boys talking lowly amongst each other. I didn't want to be rude and nosy, but I couldn't help it: my curiosity got the best of me.

"When can we even consider going through with the second part of the bonding process?" Niall asked, scratching his head.

Fortunately for them, I'm and idiot and I stubbed my toe... We can all guess what kind of words I let slip out. I cleared my throat and walked in as if nothing happened. They were all staring amusedly at me.

As I popped a bagel into the toaster, I fought myself to keep from asking the question that I so desperately wanted to ask. A sigh escaped my mouth, "Not to totally give away what I was doing over by the stairs, but uh— what exactly is the second part of the bonding thingy?"

"Um—"

I was greeted by silence.

Before I could beg them for information, an amazing aroma flushed over me. I closed my eyes and sucked in a big breath.

What is that wonderful smell?

"What's cooking?"

Louis looked at me as if I had gone mad. "Nothing... Are you okay?"

"Of course I am, but that smell...."

Zayn sucked in a sharp breath, "Ohhhh, right. Well, now that we're half-way bonded with you, you're senses are slightly... heightened."

"There's nothing actually cooking, love. It's us, we're what you're smelling." Harry peered over the counter and towards me. A small smirk played against his plump lips.

"And don't you look delicious," a set of pearly white teeth came into view.

I stumbled back, slightly caught off guard by his filter-less set of words.

Liam rubbed his forehead before casually mentioning, "It's the bond... We're—uh, more attracted to you now."

Whatttttt?

"Surprise," Niall nonchalantly cheered.

Before they could go on about some other completely abnormal thing, I began to glare intently at them.

"What?" Louis questioned.

"I want you guys to tell me what the second part of the bonding ritual is... Right now," they stared blankly at me. "Right this minute, okay?"

Zayn scratched awkwardly at the back of his neck. "You are not going to like this, love. Are you sure you still want to know?"

I stood tall in front of him, waiting for him to get the hint and continue. "Okay...?"

Liam's face turned red, "Umm... Well—"

Niall rubbed his face in his hands, "We've kinda gotta... The thing is—"

Louis sighed, "The connection thingy... Deed."

"... Sex, Alexandra. We've gotta have sex," Harry bluntly stated.

"Holy shit."

Hey, guys. I'm so sorry about all of these late updates. High school is crazy with exams, homework, etc.

So thank you, all of you. It's great to know there's still people here for us :)
