II THE SCENTS: Lycoris Mate

Chapter 16

As I've entered the room of Leslie, Eunice my cousin was checking her vital signs while Avery was cleaning up the mess that my mother did here to save her.

"How is she?" I asked them as I came closer to them.

"Settle for now." Avery sighed as she stood up and patted my shoulder.

"But her blood need to be replenished and Auntie said that you can help." Eunice said as she watch Leslie blood transfusion bag.

"Eunice, just let her do her thing as Leslie's mate and focus on yours." Avery reminded that caught my attention a bit.

Eunice didn't say anything aside the death glare she gave to Avery that made me realize what they've been talking about.

"So you finally found your mate after those years of losing one." I proudly said as I recalled on how devastated her story about losing mates before.

"I don't know but I hope it will be my last. I don't want to lose it anymore. I can't bear it." Eunice sadly said that made Avery put her arms around her.

"Well, our Aleksys here finally understand it now." Avery said while looking at me that made me sigh since she was right about it.

"We'll be just outside if you need our help." Eunice told me that made nodded and they left.

As they left me alone in her room, I looked around and I noticed that it was so plain aside from the grand piano near the french door. I walked toward the piano but something caught my attention when I stood in front of the huge mirror. I was indeed covered with bloodstains. I sighed and looked for some prepared clothes and there they were lying on the couch. I smiled on how considerate Avery could be. She knows me too well whenever it comes to bloodstains.

I took my liberty to take a bath to Leslie's bathroom and it was spacious since it didn't have any cluttering things around. It was neat which was I didn't see it coming that she could be a neat person inside. After a refreshing bath, her scent suddenly bombed me so big time like its calling me in such a hurry. I groaned that made my fallen side came into surface immediately and made me rushed to her half naked. I'm only wearing sports bra and jogger pants.

"It's time for you to wake up." I horsley whispered as I leaned closer to her and gave her kiss that I'm trying not to overpowered - I mean lose my senses.

As I kissed her I bit her lip like I did before but this time it wasn't unintentional but I intend to. The taste of her blood to my lips were so intoxicating and making me lose my senses as I wanted for more it. I wanted to be mine alone. Just going along to it, I never realized that from her lips and now, I also did bit her neck. Even though my fangs were pierced onto her neck, I'm not sucking her blood out instead I'm giving her some of mine.

"Les...heal up...quickly..." I thought that exactly made the blood I'm giving suddenly being rushed out. It's transfering faster to her.

I'm happy to help her and doing what I can to save her but I groaned on how much she's taking from me. My blood was indeed slipping away from me in such a drastic way that slowly making me dizzy so, I released my fangs from her neck. I might not want to stay away from her but I have to this time. I need to leave before it consumes me again. I went toward the door wobbling but before I could even manage to pull the doorknob, I collapsed on the floor. I was still conscious but the fire blazing inside of me was a bit too hot to be contained like there was something wanted to be released and be one with her yet, I can't let that happen. Seems like on cue, Avery as well Eunice came in rushing.

"Hold herself, Alek!" Avery told me but I just smiled and slowly my sight were turning black again.

"She's bleeding out Avery, is this even normal for her kind?" Eunice asked Avery that made me wonder about she mentioned about me bleeding out.

"Yes but I didn't know it has to be this much. Ceres might know about it." Avery said with her worried tone as everything in me block out again.

Somewhere within the darkness, I can still say that I've been held by Ceres and Frizabelle since they already meet this side of me. They're the one who save me from that hellground chamber.

"We've got you honey. Stay with us." Frizabelle said with her caring voice.

"Did you have any dark place or chamber somewhere in the house?" Ceres asked Lexanna in her hurry voice.

"Down the basement its our torture chamber." Lexanna answered as she lead the way downstairs while Ceres carrying me in her arms.

"Is there some cell that can hold powerful monster?" Frizabelle asked Verona who was also coming with us.

"Yes there is but why you need that? It's never been used though." Verona answered with such worry and curious tone.

"Its for Aleksys. She's going to lose any moment if we can't make it there." Frizabelle answered to clear things a bit but there's something off.

"She need darkness." Ceres cleared as they halted into one particular cell in the basement.

Lexanna opened the door and let us entered. Inside the room, I can feel that there was something hidden underneath this place but I couldn't spell what could it be. But the feeling suddenly vanished since Ceres and Frizabelle began to putting chains around me since they've known that I'll be reckless and kill whoever entered this place.

"That will do for now, but don't let anyone near this room." Ceres said to Lexanna who were still confused to what they just did to me.

"If your wondering why she need this place, is it because she grew up in slavery, been their blood bank and only live inside a chamber like this." Ceres started to clear some things to them about me.

"With no lights and only starvation, as well torture came into her." Frizabelle continued for her wife.

"Good thing we came before she's being pulled even further to her fallen state and it's only a matter of time when she'll be in that state for the rest of her life." Ceres honestly told them what lies beyond my fallen state.

"And Leslie is the only one will be able to make sense to her until the time she could control it on her own will." Frizabelle continued on explaining to them.

"Just like what I can. But she's going to face lots of changes that might lose her way." Ceres said as I felt her hand onto my head like she's blessing me of something I don't understand what could it be.

"But as long her mate, Leslie's with her, she can definitely do it." Frizabelle said as she brushed the hair away from my face.

I seriously can feel their care for me that making me shift back to what I used to be. Yet, even though I was being calmed now, there was still something missing in me. Something that I need to be with for the rest of my life.

"Les..." I whispered and I can tell that they heard it.

"She'll be awake soon. But before you could meet, control your scent." Ceres told me with her cold and firmed voice.

"She's coming..." I whispered again so weakly.

"Very well. Heal up then." Frizabelle said before she give me a kiss.
