Bite Me (Stopped)

Chapter 10 part 2 Blood and Lust

++++++Eric’s POV++++++

Shit! Shit! Shit! Where is the reinforcement!? Leo was down; Reika pushed him in the car. We nodded at each other. We got everyone in the car and I drove like hell! I drove like a mad man. I barely missed the trees. Fuck! I wasn’t even on the road. It was a very bumpy ride. As I kept driving straight on, I finally saw sight of our men, took them long enough. It was Jack’s team?

I made a quick U-turn. “The hell?” I shouted at them. They looked at us questioningly. “I don’t have time to explain. Get this people treated, now! Go back to our town. We’ll have to re-plan.” I commanded. They took no time to follow my orders. They took my mate to one of their cars and Leo too. Reika couldn’t stand being away from the man so he was taken with them. Conall insist that he’s okay and that Nico should be treated first but anyone can tell and even a fool can tell that he’s lying. He’s like a zombie. I bated my eyelashes at him. “Don’t be a fool, sweetie. You’ll get treated. No one wants a dead weight.” I spoke sweetly. He glared at me with those honey-colored eyes but nodded.

Jack’s group took the offense and beat the rest of the enemies. They got no chance. To be more precise they were eliminated. Jack’s team is like an assassin squad. It also seems as if Leo will be a big headache but he’ll do well. That Reika have him on a tight leash I don’t think he even knows. As for my mate, that moron will be fine. He’s not the strongest of the bunch but he’s pretty flexible. He’ll get an earful later. Ugh…I’m already having a headache. How will I explain this to the Alpha?

I saw Jack. “How was it on your side?” I asked. “It was a clean cut.” He said but then walked off. “Sheesh~ Such a tight lipped person.” I muttered to myself. I abandoned the car I was driving on the side of the road. It was too banged up for anything. I’m amazed it even got us so far how I was pushing it. Everyone has left back to town except me and the van with Nico in it. Eventually, we too left.

++++++Raymond’s POV++++++

As much as I would like too, I don’t believe him. Wait! No! I don’t want to believe him. I shook my head in anger for myself. Remus looked at me. “Is the food not to your liking?” He asked. I sat next to him on the long dining table. This place was like the olden days, Gothic and king like. “The steak is fine.” I spoke, cutting a slice and putting it in my mouth as proof. I didn’t really want to eat right now but I can’t say no. We ate in silence.

“So…” He said after a minute. “How have you been?” I looked down on my plate as if it was the most interesting thing I’ve ever saw in my entire life. “It’s been good. I raised my son the best I could but he was suddenly kidnapped, so me and the Alpha had made a plan to rescue him. And here I am.” I couldn’t help back my sarcasm. He laughed. “Good to hear. I don’t think you want to hear about me. Too much…drama and tragic, and I know you don’t like that type of soap opera.” He looked at me for the longest time. I found that the table was rather fascinating. He shrugged and ate some more from his plate. I tried not to look at him as much as possible. I know that if I do, I’ll start second guessing again.

I thought that the silence will be helpful but it wasn’t. It was awkward and strained. I didn’t like it to the least. I quickly ate and got up. “Where are you going?” He asked me. “Nowhere, just to the restroom,” I spoke in a rush. I scrambled to my feet and darted out of the room. He watched me leave. ‘I can’t believe I cried in front of him! Not once in my life have I ever showed weakness to anyone to that extent.’ I scolded myself, cursing my vulnerability. As I wandered about I found myself meandering. I was lost. In front of me was a dead end, to my right a stair case going up, and to my left a big hallway going on endlessly. I looked back behind me, another hallway. I decided to go left.
