Desire by Blood | Desire Series ~ 1

Chapter 38

How long has it been since Daniel closed the doors? It may have been a few hours or days. I don't know anymore. I think I tried many times to escape from this room, but I don't really remember. The only thing I know is that my fingers and nails hurt. I am famished. I am starved and I think that if someone opens the door, I will jump on him and suck him dry without a second thought. Even though I may kill someone that I have no interest in, I still thirst for some blood. My mate is the best after all. Where is he? It has been a while since I saw him. I miss him so much.

Suddenly, a sharp pain strikes in my stomach. I gasp for air as I curl into a little ball while laying on the ground. It's so painful. I feel like I am going to die with my stomach being torn apart. Before I know about it, I feel some droplets slide on my cheeks. I am crying. Not being with my mate when hungry is hell. I thought that I would never have to go through hunger ever again. Being in this condition really reminds me of memories I would rather forget.

"Mate, where are you? I need you," I whisper to myself as I wrap my arms around my stomach when I feel a new rush of pain coming.

The pain only intensifies as the time pass. I may have fainted a few times, but I am relieved. At least, I won't feel like I am dying if I am not conscious. I feel better in my dreams. I am not isolated in a dark and cold room like this, but with my mate on the same island, we went for our vacation. This time, however, everyone is here. Nikolas' family and close friends without forgetting Eva and the others.

At some point, I hear some noises coming from the other side of the door. I really hope that is my mate. I don't feel well enough to take Matthias or Daniel's stupidity. I hear the door being opened and then it strikes me. This is what I have been seeking all this time. This familiar and comforting smell, but still so mouthwatering.

I sit up and prepare myself to bounce on the person I see first. I can already feel my fangs pushing against my gum and my nails extending. I moisten my lips in anticipation. As a result, when I discern the outline of a person, I don't hesitate to pounce on him. I tackle the man down as I force the man's head to the side to expose his neck. Before sinking my teeth into him, someone yanks me away from my prey. I hiss at the person who did that, but I bite on my tongue when I see who it is.

"Mate!" I exclaim before letting go of the man I recently assaulted to wrap my arms around Nikolas.

"I'm so sorry, Micah. It must have been hard. Everything is fine now. I am here," he soothes while rubbing my back lovingly.

I bury my nose in the crook of his neck to inhale his delicious and arousing odour. If this is a dream, I will make sure to kill the person who ruins it.

"Please," I moan as I start licking his neck.

"Go ahead, take as much as you need."

As soon as my mate grants me his permission, I don't hesitate to sink my teeth into his neck. Instantly, I moan when I taste his blood on my taste buds. This is it. This is what I was looking forward to all this time. I am so engrossed into sucking my mate's neck that I didn't notice that I have been grinding on his lap. I greedily feed on my mate as he leans back on the wall before sliding down into a sitting position.

When I am finally full, I gently pull away as my body is all warmed up and sweating. I lean my forehead on his shoulder still believing that it's a dream. It's too good to be true. Will he disappear if I try to look at him?

"Are you alright?" Nikolas asks as he hugs me tightly while burying his face in the crook of my neck.

"Y-yeah, I am feeling better now," I answer as I can feel the excitement rushing through me when I feel his canines lightly grazing my skin.
