Find me. Catch me. Kill me.

Chapter 10

“Stay away.” Nathaniel sneered.

His teeth were clenched and blood stained his perfect white teeth.

“But Prince she’s-”

“That’s an order.” Nathaniel spoke through his teeth.

The large man just bent his head down with his fists tightening.

Nathaniel swung his arm and the door closed on its own accord.

Vampires and their powers, especially Pure Blood vampires had unique powers that benefited them in most situations.

“Nathaniel please don’t do this.”

He looked at me with hungry bright blue eyes.

“Why should I? You’re mine now, don’t you know that?”

I shook my head, he bit me. He could not mate me, he was a vampire. Unless if he was my true mate then maybe, maybe.

“You will die! The blood of a werewolf will kill any vampire, even a Pure Blood!”

I had completely forgot about the prophecy. It was true, too. If our blood is swallowed it would kill the vampire and vice versa.

Nathaniel didn’t seem to be bothered by my protest.

“You’re my mate remember, Lily.”

His words brought an electric chill in my blood.

I shook my head.

“Impossible! I thought our bond had broken!?”

“That mark. The one that you're fake mate tainted you with? It was the break of your bond with him, not me. I never rejected you.”

He laughed as he spoke but soon the laughter died at his last words.

“How...?”

I was so confused, how was it possible... How did he know?

“I never said I would reject you.”

My jaw dropped.

"You asshole!” I jerked away from him.

“I can’t believe I fell for it! You never rejected me, but you let me wail in pain in the forest while you had your way with that bitch?!”

His amused features softened for one second but was gone the next.

“It doesn’t matter what I do, you will always be my mate no matter what.”

"No. Screw you! I don’t need you!”

I already have a mate.... I didn’t need Nathaniel, he was cruel and a vampire of course! The other werewolf was my mate, Nathaniel can’t be my mate. It was impossible to have two mates, it has never happened and was just preposterous.

I stood up and covered myself with his blazer then began stomping away.

“Who's going to protect you from getting yourself killed out there. You know what territory you’re in, do not risk yourself.”

Nathaniel’s words were serious.

I stopped to turn around, standing by the door, in a domineering voice I replied.

“You didn’t care about what happened this morning, why should you care about whatever happens to me if I’m dead”.

I walked out of the room triumphant, but I felt this itch in the back of my neck.

Was he going to come after me and punish me for walking away?

That motivated me to move quicker, I went down the steps and decided to leave through the back doors.

--

I found myself wandering off into three more rooms before leaving through the back doors. They were eerily clean and quiet. There were only three large rooms down stairs, and maybe four rooms upstairs.

I went through the main door that led to the back yard. I wasn’t surprised that there would be such a large backyard, but it was so spacious and green. It reminded me of a picture of Iceland's earthy vast lands. There were trees everywhere, not really any plants or gardens.

I thought about the black beast I had seen previously this morning. I shuddered. I was already forgetting how soothing his deep voice was, and how it made me churn inside.

I suddenly felt a rush of adrenaline, the full moon would be coming in few a more nights.

Maybe he would take me away, bring me to his home, and love me like I had never been loved before? I wanted to laugh at my fantasy, life isn’t that easy Lily.

My bare feet touched the plush green earth, it felt so good after practically walking on gravel. I smiled. I love mother nature, it was always so calming whenever I was frustrated.

I had to figure out why so many things were happening to me. Why did the bond Axel end so painfully? If the end of our bond was that painful then I couldn’t imagine the rejection of a mate. I felt my stomach drop, it must have felt a million times dreadful than what I had experienced this morning in the forest.

My hand touched the empty, smooth skin that no longer had any mark to claim me... for now.

What if he never shows up? What if Nathaniel finds the beast and trys to kill it? Nathaniel is a Pure Blood after all.

Ugh, so many things were happening without my consent.

My body tensed as I felt a presence near me.

I sniffed the air, it couldn’t be Nathaniel, he didn’t smell like rubber.

Before I could register the disgusting rubber I was knocked out by the electrical force of my collar.

--

I woke up with my head groggy and my head throbbed painfully. I felt a cold liquid splash over me, making me growl.

Water.

My eye adjusted to the full curvy figure before me after I shook my head.

"Time to wake up you disgusting mutt."

The blond stood in front of me with a tin bucket in her hand.

She tossed it to the side, then slowly came up to me wearing her white stiletto heels and white fitted dress.

--

Sorry for the wait! I was held up, but now I am back!

I know this one isn't steamy but this is going to lead to something good, or maybe bloody? :)
