My Mate Is a Vampire?!

Shadows

~~Ryan's POV~~

     I watched her sleep, she was shaking a bit. Her forehead was slightly damp from sweating. She must be having a nightmare. I gripped her close and gently shook her, the slight movement forcing her to open her eyes. Oh those eyes. They weren't her normal, gleaming eyes. They were full with fear. Her eyes snapped up to examine my face, and after a moment it seemed to sink in that I shook her.

     "Hey there beautiful."  I kept my voice soft, reassuring her that I wouldn't hurt her. I felt her move closer to me, her grip on my shirt tight.

     "H-hey h-handsome."  Her voice shook with uncertainty, almost as if I wasn't me. I kissed her forehead gently, humming softly to calm her down. The second I started humming, her eyes began to flutter shut, her grip on my shirt tightened but the rest of her relaxed. I couldn't help the moronic smile that crossed my lips. Only I could calm her like this, and I took pride in it.

~~Kelly's POV~~
--The Next Morning--

     My eyes slowly began to open, slightly scrunched from the bright lights coming from my open window. Beside me was a dozing Ryan, his face relaxed, his grip on my hips tight. His breathing was deep and even, a slight soft snore escaping from between his lips. I gave a dopey smile, my heart escalating in happiness but suddenly dropped into my stomach.

     My nightmares are getting worse, this time Ryan was killed by the shadow figure. I knew he was coming for me, to steal me, torture me and break me. But, with Ryan by my side, he's also a target. I couldn't let that happen, not to him. In such a short span of time, this moronic man became my everything and I'd do anything to keep him safe. But he can't know about him, not what he did to me before and what he'll do to me if he gets his claws on me.

     I looked up, noticing that Ryan was staring at me, almost like he knew my thoughts. But, that couldn't be possible, he hasn't marked me. He doesn't have a way to know my thoughts, at least not yet.

     "I've finally decided."  I couldn't help but look utterly confused at the handsome man before me.  "I will mark you but on one condition."  I couldn't help but raise my eyebrow at that. A condition? What kind of condition? As if on cue, he smirked, showing off his sharp fangs.

     "You marry me and become my Queen."

     Well shit.
