The Vampire's Mate

Chapter 1

"Today's the day!" Mum squeals.

She motions for me to twirl in the red and silver ball gown. I twirled and mum messed with my face, applying buckets of makeup. I stare at myself blankly in the mirror in front of me. Today is the day of the Vampire ball. At the age of 18, every girl is required to attend the ball so the vampires could find their mate. Any girl without a mate is sold and the money goes to their parents. If the girl has a vampire mate, the parents get to enjoy the rank of the vampire. I sigh as mum exits the room to escort Tiffany, my sister, to the limo. I have to take a cab. I grin and throw the dress off and pull on shorts and a red tank top. I pull the dress on and fix my hair to cover the tank top straps. I pull on silver flats and grab my silver clutch that contains my phone, cash, and credit cards in it. I rush out the front door and haul a cab as Tiffany rides away in her limo

"Hey! Taxi!" I shout as a cab swerves to me. I climb in and tell the driver to take me to the ball. He nods and we arrive in a few minutes. I pay the guy and rush up the steps to where an old lady is handing out masks. I take a silver one and pull it over my face. I walk into the grand hall and watch as girls dance while drinking who knows what. I go to the refreshments and look at the bowls. One says blood bowl and the other says punch bowl. I don't feel like punch anymore. I lean against the table as I examine the crowd in front of me. I look at one girl giggles as a guy whispers something in her ear. I sigh, she no longer has the freedom to do what she pleases. I spot Tiffany in her bright pink dress. Tiffany and I are polar opposites. She has light blonde hair and I have dark brown hair. She has dark brown eyes and I have dark blue eyes. She has short hair and I have long hair. Her hair is pin straight and my hair is naturally curly. See what I mean? I watch as she tries seducing a vampire. He stiffens suddenly and I watch Tiffany look at him excitedly, thinking that she is his mate. The guy's eyes suddenly snap to me and I freeze under the hard grey eyes. Oh no. He suddenly appears in front of me and I stumble back, catching myself on the counter.

"Mine," he growls possessively in a low voice, making me shiver. Tiffany marches up to use and recognizes me in my dress. She snorts and clings to his arm.

"I know I'm yours" she purrs. I think I just threw up a little. Yup, definitely throw up.

"No, she's mine, my mate," he hisses, pulling away from Tiffany and pulling me into him, tucking his face into the crook of my neck. He lets out a cold breath, making me shrink. He pulls back and looks at me with his eyes substantially larger than they were before.

"What's your name, love?" he asks, attempting British accent. He can't possibly be British, they never actually say that.

"Jordan," I state in what I hope is a confident voice.

"Aren't you going to reject her already?" Tiffany whines.

"I would never hurt my mate like that, slut," the guy hisses at Tiffany. She pales and a smirk quickly covers it up.

"What's your name?" I ask mystery guy. A grin overtakes his face.

"Xander Kingston," he smirks. My jaw drops. He's the freaking vampire prince, how unlucky can I possibly be? I pale and my eyes widen. A worried look comes into Xander's eyes.

"Are you okay, love?" he asks.

"Y-yes, I am, Prince Xander" I respond. He growls as I say Prince Xander and pulls me impossibly closer to him.

"It's Xander, love," he growls softly, his teeth grazing my earlobe. I personally do not like my ears being touched, so I jolt away slightly.

"I'm her sister, meaning that I get to be a princess," Tiffany interrupts. I almost forgot about her presence.

"You are hardly my sister and mum and dad are hardly my parents," I scoff.

"You will not be assuming position as princess due to the fact that you insulted my mate," Xander growls at Tiffany.

"You bitch!" Tiffany screeches. Xander is instantly at her throat and she claws at his arms as she loses oxygen.

"If you dare insult my mate ever again, no one would be able to save you," he threatened. He dropped her as soon as her face went blue. She collapsed and gasped for air as Xander grabbed my hand and starts making his way out of the grand hall with me trailing behind him, my cheapo mask falling off on the way.

"Where are we going?" I ask, furrowing my eyebrows. The doors open and the warm summer breeze brushes through my hair and past my bare arms.

"To our house, love," he chuckles lowly. At that sound, my stomach churns violently. I'm going to be sick.

"Our house?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow.

"Everything that is mine is yours," he replies with a crooked grin. Food. I call the fridge. Wait. What am I talking about? I'm being dragged from my life and here I am talking about food.

"That is pretty cheesy," I comment as we climb inside of a black limo.

"It's the truth," he smiles. I look around and notice that he's suddenly very close to me. Very close. I can see his grey eyes becoming darker. His gazes flickers from my eyes to my lips and I find mine doing the same. Before I know it, his lips are on mine.

I'm kissing a freaking vampire.

A/N
