Hunting Love

Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Many scenarios and thoughts run through my mind at the very moment. The most prominent one is that I have to try and fight him, but even with my full strength I'm no match for a full vampire. Stupid genes.

Running away isn't an option either since his grip on my arm and side is too strong that I'm scared that he's going to end up breaking a bone. My bone.

Having no other reasonable option, I settle for intimidation. Or at least attempt to. "Let me go," I growl out, trying to force him to release me. My fangs are starting to come down but I continue pushing them back up since I'm not dealing with exposing myself at the moment.

"And why would I do that?" he asks, putting more pressure on my neck. Is he seriously trying to die right now? I'm saving his life by telling him to let me go.

"I'm being serious. If you want to live, then let me go and don't bite me," I stress out, putting my arms out in front of me and struggling to push him off.

"Hm...well that's too bad then," he smirks, before I feel the stinging pain of his fangs piercing my throat. My open my mouth to scream but his hand beats me and he completely covers my mouth.

It's a long few seconds later before he finally lets go of me, causing me to harshly drop to the ground. I groan and look up to see him walking away while scratching his throat. "You deserve my blood in your veins, jerk," I grumble, getting up and walking away.

Knowing that the chefs will most likely be in the servant hall, I opt for Braydon's room since he's out on some business so I won't have to worry about him walking in on me or anything like that.

I immediately head to the bathroom and stare at the blank mirror. It's sad that I can't see how bad the bite looks or how tired and frustrated I really am. Wiping off the blood with a small rag, I grimace at the two puncture marks that I feel on my neck. At least I'll be able to hide it with my hair.

Glancing out the window, I notice that the sun was starting to set, meaning that Braydon must be on his way back here. It's not that I'm uncomfortable around Braydon, but I don't want him to see me when the wound is still fresh. Besides, a little moonlight never hurt anybody.

I head out of the room and start making my way outside. It seems like there's no one else in the kitchen as I pass, but I'm not going to go in and check after what just happened. I still can't believe that they would do something like that.

Honestly, I didn't mean to hurt any of them! In fact, it was their fault in the first place. If they hadn't had the hateful attitude towards me without even knowing my name, then I wouldn't have been so defensive about trying to get them to like me. That wouldn't have led me to accidentally push the chef and ruin the dish.

Then there's the traitors, Maybelle and the twins. Layton wasn't there so I can't blame him but I have no doubt that he would have sided with the vampires if he was there. I can't believe that Maybelle would just watch me get attacked by her parents along with Brandon. Braydon was there in the forest with me! He of all people should know that I caught something but he still didn't speak up for me.

I don't even realize where I am until I feel my bare feet touch something wet. I look down before realizing that I'm standing at the edge of a lake. "Wow..." I breathe out, looking around. The lake is surrounded by trees and the moonlight shining down on it gives it a magical glow. A place this beautiful almost makes me forget about my anger. Almost.

Looking around, I bend down before picking up a rock around my feet. Channeling all my anger into my hand, I chuck the rock into the lake. It did little to sooth my anger and I reach down to do it again with another rock when a voice interrupts me.
