Waste It On Me

Facing Reality

Facing Reality

I sit in front of the fireplace, Damien built a fire before he called Cian to come over so they can discuss theories about who could want to kill me. He's left me with my thoughts and that is no good, I'm the type of person who lets her thoughts consume her, Working me into a state of worry or worse.

I still need answers to more questions that I have, Sitting here alone brought up millions of different questions, Ian walks into the living room and bows at me. I assume he knows just what Damien is, "Ian, How long have you known Damien?" I question him as he sits down in the chair across from me.

"I've known Lord Damien since 1925, My family had been killed by a group of Feral Vampires who were sent to kill me. I was close to dying myself are being drained dry, Lord Damien saved me by turning me. I owe him my life." he says, I see the haunted look in his eyes as he recalls the memory.

"I'm so sorry for your loss Ian." I feel like hugging the old man as he waves away my condolence's

"It was a lifetime ago dear, How are you feeling?" he questions me and I find that I have some common ground with him, He somewhat knows what I've been through.

"I still have many questions, but I'm doing alright." I say, smiling at him.

"You make ask me anything, I'll do my best to answer them." he says and I sit up, eager to get answers.

"You call Damien 'Lord', why?"

"Lord Damien is the strongest vampire in this century dear, Since he is the last of the Royal Blood line that we know of he is Royalty among us all." he shrugs, relaying the information to me.

Okay then, that wasn't what I expected. So my mate is very important, Great to know.

"Okay, Do you know or suspect who would want to kill me?"

He shakes his head no, "I'm afraid I don't although I suspect Lord Damien may know." he says and I frown, I'll ask Damien later.

I'm about to ask more as the front door is shut, Damien emerges from his office and greets Cian. I hear Rayne and jump up. "Rayne."

She turns towards me and walks over to me, hugging me tightly. "I'm sorry I kept this secret from you." she says and I pull back. "I understand, please don't apologize."

Cian clears his throat and nods as I look up at him "We'll be in my office." Damien says and they leave us.

I pull Rayne to the couch, I have lots of questions for her. "Did you know I was half vampire?" I ask, and even I can hear the excitement in my voice.

She giggles "I could sense the vampire side of you, yes. I first thought you may have been Aleric's mate since he's half human too. Apparently that's not the case." she says

"Apparently, You have details to spill!" I almost shout at her.

"What do you want to know?" she asks, I can tell she's happy about finally being able to speak freely.

"Well about Cian and you..." I trail off before realizing how that sounds, blushing.

She laughs at me, "What about us?"

I clear my throat before getting up enough courage to ask, "Those red marks that were on your neck...What happened?"

"Oh that, We completed the bond." she says, letting that sink in.
