Singing with the Queen (Book 2 of The Vampire Waltz Collection)

Chapter 12

"All ya hickeys are gone? " Laylana smirked towards Maria in the counter.

"Shut up... " she giggled, "Basile has this cream healing solution for me to use, to relieve pain and removes the marks easily. "

"Ohhh... So whatcha cooking? "

"The basic, eggs, hotdogs, bacon, and rice! " the girl spoke.

The two ate in silence and later did the dishes as other other one did a bit of sweeping. When Laylana told Maria that she'll be taking a shower and leave, in a snap of her fingers the entire house was clean.

Basic magic indeed.

Laylana got into her crop shirt and shorts, her hair curled and messy in a flirty way. Make up done naturally and fresh from the shower like roses in wet Dew from the sprinkle of rain.

Maria took a silent inhale and her eyes now glowing gold, thankfully Laylana wasn't with her at the moment as she was down stairs.

Thinking of feeding herself in her blood bank room and Basile's blood still lingers in there from last night, she went upstairs to see Laylana attempting to open her door with her hairpins.

"Laylana? " she spoke almost quietly and not letting out an emotion show.

The werewolf yelp and immediately Tuck her hairpin in her pockets, she sees Laylana's eyes glowing in gold and red unusual for a werewolf.

"What are you doing? " she asked.

"Umm.. I was just curious about this room. It smells.. Good err nice.. "

"You are forbidden there, come down stairs let's have tea. " with a inviting smile.

Though she knew so well that her room smell of blood!  She kept them there and why was Laylana responding it's smell like she's a vampire. But importantly she can't have Laylana see her room, it's filled with Avery's toys, clothes, pictures, crib and her portrait with Avery, what would Laylana think about her?

Laylana shrugged and went down, she served her Atticus' favored tea made of cinnamon and chicken blood normally but just this once. She prick her finger and let a drop of her blood into the pot.

Serving it up and setting it up, Laylana said thanks and drank the tea.

She moaned.

She liked it? 

Werewolves are disgusted with blood! 

"The tea is so good!!  Mhmm... "

"Really, it's what Atticus first taught me when I came here. " eyes on focus in Laylana's smiles and delighted mood on the tea she drank, her blood did taste amazing it's what Atticus told her but her blood is also somehow half poison.

"Ohhhh... Um Maria why can't I go in that room? Plus where's your room? "

"That was my room.... I just had my period last night after Basile left so it's somehow messy in there too. " she lied.

"You don't smell like you had one. "Said Laylana as she sip in her tea.

"I took a pill to reduce the scent and the pad is fast absorbing. "

She lied again, vampires don't bleed that's for sure and second to top this off Laylana finish the entire pot of tea.

"So what do you have in mind for today's activities? "

"I don't know actually but tomorrow I wouldn't be here, I have to check what's going on in your house before Cole knows you're gone. "

"I know what to do! " Laylana's grin went wide almost to her ears.
