Bound by Fate: Love And Desire

Wake Up Pet

POV of Tony

I heard a crash from the hall way. Down by the kitchen, I ran. Hoping it wasn't my... Hoping it wasn't Melissa. But sure enough it was Julia holding Melissa's throat shouting nonsense. "Drop her Julia! Put her down, you hear me?!" I was furious. She has no right to touch what is mine. Questioning me she kicked Melissa's rib cage, causing it to collapse. I had enough. I finally put Julia in her place.

I killed her. My, most hated, financé. I looked down at Melissa seeing her chest barely moving with her fading breathing. "Clara! Find my brother Felix!" I shouted seeing the young girl running quickly to another wing. One I dare not venture.

Felix, after taking his damn sweet time, finally came. Moving Melissa's body so it laid flat on the bloody floor of the hall. His dark hair and features making her light ones seem ghostly. His hand pressed to her ribs, a black light coming from his finger tips. Her bones and flesh coming back together. Her body looking normal again, no longer disfigured. She.. Truly was beautiful. "Brother..." came Felix's gruff voice. "Don't. I already know." I said knowing precisely what he was about to say. Melissa is mine, not just as a pet... No. She was my lost mate. "Then awaken her." he growled to me. "I will brother. But... I will on her terms. Not mine." I said which launched a look of shock on my little brothers face. Never in his life as he ever seen me have compassion for anything but for those to fear me and the blood of those that don't.

He stood, we bowed, I thanked him. His form leaving me as he walked down the hall into the other wing. I loomed over Melissa. Finally bending down and picking her up, I took her to my room.

I sighed softly as I watched her sleep. The little color her skin had was finally back after... 7 hours. I haven't left her side since I laid her down. How I wish she would wake. "Please... Little pet. Wake up." I spoke gently, her form beginning to stir at my words. My brows furrowed. "Wake up pet." I ordered. Her body lurched forward, sitting up fast like she had a nightmare. Her blue eyes landed on me, and I saw the tears well up. I pulled her body into my chest

She cried into my chest. "I saw it... I saw Death." she sobbed into my chest. "Hush now... You're safe now.. You're safe with me." I whispered. We stayed so close for around 3 hours. I could see the sun was beginning to rise.

I sighed, leaving her body there as I shut the black curtains. Coming back I looked at her red puffy eyes. "What happened?" she questioned. I hesitated to answer "Julia nearly killed you. She kicked you, hard... She broke every rib in your body. Along with neck and head trauma." I answered. She looked down at her body curiously. "My brother healed you." I said before she asked. "You... Have a brother?" she asked curiously. "Yes. I'm the eldest of 5 siblings. Lilith, whom you met is the youngest. Felix, the one who healed you is second youngest. Then there's Abraxas. He's.. Not around much." I explained. She nodded wrapping her head around the information. "You... Saved... Me." she whispered quietly. "Why? If I am simply property then why bother? You could just go find another girl." she said looking up at me seriously. "I can't. If you die... I truly would be alone." I told her, she gave me a puzzled look. "Master, please explain." she said seeming to remember what she was.

"Remember... I told you that when I found you I felt her presence getting closer? But it stopped?" She nodded. "Well... It stopped because I'd found her. I'd found you." I said sitting in front of her. "You are my mate Melissa." her face was unreadable. A mix of shock and disbelief across her face. "I'm..." she couldn't finish. "My mate. That's why I feel so strongly toward you." I told her. "But that means... I'm supposed to be..." I nodded. A vampire. She was meant to be a vampire.

POV of Melissa

After everything that has happened on just my second day... I find out my master is meant to be my lover. As a side bonus I'm meant to be a vampire... Wow. That's a lot in one day. I looked at him and spoke quietly "So... Your going to turn me now?" my voice was so shaky it didn't sound like my own. He shook his head "No. I will do that when you say it is okay. I will awaken you on your terms. Not mine." he said his blue eyes starring into my soul. I nodded solemnly "Why?" his face showed thought. "Because... I want you to see. See that I'm not really a monster. I want you to deem me worthy." Now I really was shocked. "You really care... Don't you?" I asked. He nodded to me, his eyes showed compassion. "If you don't mind... Master, I'd like to wait a while." I said softly. He nodded with my words "Of course." he said. "Until you've woken I need you to continue your work for me." he said and I nodded. "You may call me Tony. You don't have to be perfectly on time." he said and left his own room. Again, I was shocked. Did he... Just give me some freedom? Could he really.. Could he really love me?

Hey guys!! What do you think so far? I apologize for this one being a bit shorter but I figured A LOT has happened in this section already. Thank you so much for reading!
