Rejected by Family

Chapter Sixteen

Chapter Sixteen

His kiss was slow and passionate as he pushed me against the wall, holding me upright with one hand and with the other he creased my cheeks, so tender and kind. My eyes were tightly shut, I couldn't breathe. What was Blaze trying to do, kill me? I could see that smug smile behind the darkness of my eyes "Open your eyes" He ordered "Or you'll believe you're dreaming" "Blaze" I whispered, not wanting to draw attention but Blaze had different intentions as he burst out laughing "You're so cute" Pushing my hair aside "Seriously?" I glared at Blaze and gave him a slight shove "This is beyond wrong" I clenched my jaws, making Blaze go rigid "What will life be without risks" I whispered as, stood on my tiptoes to kiss Blaze on the nose, his face went to beetroot red, his fangs elongated as they lingered around the nape of my neck. "Someday" He whispered "You'll be mine" He growled before we walked silently to my bedroom, the silence was squeezing my heart and from the strides Blaze took, it was obvious it had the same effect on him.

"Maximus" I shook hands with the werewolf that was friends with my mother. "Mia" He nodded "How are you coping with the adjustments made to the Fallen Monsters?" My brothers were sat behind us as I welcomed Maximus "Well" I couldn't help but smirk "Let's just say that one's dead yet" Maximus chuckled "That's good to hear" His eyes twinkled "And how about living with the vampires?" Seriousness returned to his face as he asked me the question. "Their blood runs through my veins too" I sighed "But I can't come to the conclusion about which blood group I like better, which the vamps find weird" I complained.

"She's being going on about that all day" Maria wrapped her arm around me. "He's not a vampire, they don't drink blood" She snapped in my ear, making me smile sheepishly at Maximus "Sorry" Maximus sat next to Nixon, and started to talk to my brothers. "When do we go home?" Aaron asked impatiently, Maximus pupils dilated, "Not any time soon, Aaron I hope you understand that this is not our decision" Aaron stood up in fury, Maria grabbed my arm pulling me back "Then whose decision is it?" Maximus stood up after Aaron and began to challenge him "Until Stephen Humphrey's execution, at least" When Maximus said that all eyes made their way to me. "And what about the curse?" Nixon spat venom on me, his twitched as he mentioned me, "What do you mean?" Maximus asked, his tone slightly dipped in threat. "You know exactly what I'm on about, she's a bloody hybrid. Have you even thought of what she is capable of?" Nixon pointed at me accusingly.

"What I'm capable of?" I repeated after Nixon like an echo. "What I'm capable of?" Before I could control myself, I stood on the table grabbing Nixon by his collar, tears streaming down my face. "Tell me!" I screamed in his face, I could feel someone grabbing me off him but I didn't budge, staring at my 'father'. "I spent 4 years unable to talk, I was deprived of protection by siblings all my life, I didn't have a mother to tell me why I bled every month. You knew how weak I was, and you allowed that forsaken Alpha to use me. You didn't tell me why I dreamt of my dead mother and why she forced me to drink from people" I paused and turned to face Aaron, his face was blank. "After you came home and told me to eat, I thought you left the past behind you, that you started to care for me. I was wrong, who would love me?" Blaze wrapped his arm around around my waist and pulled me off the table, I hid myself into his shirt and calmed myself down. "I've never done anything wrong" I took a deep breath and smiled at Nixon and Aaron "It was you, you who failed to be a proper father and brother" All the emotions that travelled through my veins made me laugh, I grabbed my face and laughed so hard my stomach hurt. "And then you have the audacity to ask, what I'm capable of. Get a grip of yourself Nixon. I'm innocent in this game of blood and hatred"

Nobody spoke for a couple of minutes. "You dreamt of your mother?" Maximus asked, his face was pale. I nodded at him, "This is bad" Maximus spoke to himself grabbing onto the table for support. "You can talk to the dead!" Joshua stood back, Jacob's mouth hung open. "Didn't I just say that?" I growled, Alex passed me a packet of blood O-, without wasting a second I ripped it and drank its contents. "This must be reported" Maximus typed on his phone, making me confused. "What are you doing?" I asked, curiously, getting up to look at his phone. "The senate must be aware of the powers you process, now Mia, where was your mother when she talked you?" He asked, holding onto my shoulders and looking into my eyes. "Hell" I smirked at Aaron, who snarled at my smirk.

Blade, my oldest brother, stood up and embraced me in a hug "Why didn't you tell us you could talk to mum?" He buried himself in me, "What was I supposed to do?" I paused "Oh yeah, I know I can't talk but you have know that instead of getting wolf, I've been talking to mum and she's been forcing me to drink blood" I rolled my eyes and smiled at all the people in the room "Now, Stephen's execution" I narrowed my eyes at Maximus. "I'll come collect whoever what's to go to the execution next week" I fake gasped "You mean see a real execution, count me in" Calvin smacked me across the head "You do realise that he is your father, right?" There was concern on Calvin's face. "No he's not, Nixon's my father" I announced, I spoke from my heart yet I couldn't look up to see anyone's reaction "Even if he doesn't want be, Nixon will always be my 'dad'"

A/N: Sorry for the delay in this chapter. I've been working on another book, which has not been published yet but I got everything confused and jumbled up so, I hope you can forgive me.
