Bite Me. (A Vampire vs. Werewolf Love Story) [part 11]
***
Jeanette- Age 17
What was going on?
Where was I?
I woke up to see 5 muscular men surrounding me.
"Is this heaven?" I asked with wide eyes, secretly admiring a familiar one with sandy blonde hair.
The blonde one laughed for a second, but then his expression quickly saddened. "Jeanette? You OK?"
I recognized his voice.
Was it Mark...Marty...?
"Matt!" I quickly remembered. I was on Lupus Island! I had made it!
"Gorgeous," he replied, "Thank God you're not dead."
One of the guys, who was tall, brunette, and had a perfect spray of freckles, nudged Matt and looked at him with a dismal look.
Yet Matt continued.
"When I said, 'come back if things don't work out with Aaron,' Matt quoted, "This is not what I meant."
The brunette looked sternly at him.
I suddenly began to truly wake up.
'Where was Aaron?' my instincts screamed silently.
Then I felt cold.
The baby.
I looked at my stomach.
My water had broken, but my stomach was still plump.
Had I had the baby?
Surely not. It was still there.
I knew it.
But why?
I quickly began to recall what had happened in the jet.
I stood up swiftly.
"Where is Aaron?" I threw to Matt.
"Whoa..chill," he said, gesturing his hands up in defense.
"Tell me where he is!" I yelled, throwing my point across.
"He's...calming down." said Matt skeptically.
"What do you mean 'calming down'?" I asked with eyes wider than my face.
"Come with me," he sighed.
The other four followed him like obedient dogs.
No pun intended.
He took me deep in the forest, where I suddenly saw an opening.
When we reached the opening, I had to do a double take.
I saw two things: A man, about 6' 3'', and even though I hadn't ever seen him before, I instantly recognized him as Alpha.
The second thing I saw was just as familiar.
It was a gorgeous beast, with golden fur and steel brown eyes that looked distraught, but astonishingly beautiful. He didn't look like a dog, or even a wolf. He looked just as he would normally, but with gorgeous fur, and animal features. One of the features that kept me staring was his stunning 12-pack, which was normally only a 6-pack.
"Aaron." I whispered.
He heard me, and looked over at me.
His strong eyes filled with sorrow.
"I'm sorry," he said with a grimace.
"No,...don't be..," I laughed.
Matt and the other four guys looked at me doubtfully.
"Really!" I said, "I think it's...sexy."
All of the men's eyes widened.
"This is truly historical," stated Alpha, "A human surviving just a crash, AND a human that's not in fear of our Lupus appearance. You are a fine specimen," he said, studying me.
His eyes stopped at my stomach.
"And the child is surely a treasure," he smiled.
Oh great.
Aaron hadn't told him I was a vampire.
I just smiled and nodded, as I saw Aaron's pleading eyes.
"So how do you think it happened?" I asked Alpha, "And I've only been pregnant for 2 weeks, why is my stomach so big? I thought my water had broken..." I asked, wanting logical answers.
"I really don't know how it happened. I will tell you an old alpha's tale, however. This may surprise you, but it is all true, so keep an open mind:
When Lupus Island was first established, it had belonged to the Lamia, which are vampires," he started.
I laughed silently.
He looked at me with a wistful glare.
"Please be open-minded," he tried.
"Trust me. I will believe anything." I said, fighting back a smile.
"Anyway, the reason we exist is the mutation of the vampire species. Somewhere along the line, a vampire did a forbidden reproduction. That's why I'm scared for your child. It may be a mutation of the werewolf breed."
I fought another smile.
If only he knew.
"However, the 'werewolf', as the human trespassers called us on the island, turned out to be not so different from the vampire in reproduction. We don't. It is said, though, as the alpha tale, that a vampire and a werewolf would be able to successfully reproduce, which would be forbidden. I find it odd that there has never been a mention of werewolf and human reproduction. But if it is working, then my only expressions are of excitement, for the product of your intercourse." he said.
I blushed, and Matt and his crew stared dumbly. They all laughed every time Alpha said, 'reproduction', or 'intercourse'.
"Let me have a talk with Aaron," I motioned.
Aaron took that as a hint.
This was too much.
"When are we going to tell him?" I yelled when we were in private.
"Soon.." he said.
"How soon? We CAN'T hide this." I said, emotions blaring.
"I'll tell him now." he said, as he left to go to Alpha.
I was surprised by his haste, but it was what we needed.
He gestured me not to follow, but I stayed close behind, hidden by trees, rocks, and anything else I could find.
I was getting close, and I pulled my head over a rock, giving me a up close sight of my worst nightmare.
Aaron and Alpha were both in werewolf mode, and they were fighting.
Violently.
And Aaron was losing.
