Diabolik Lovers: A Little Pet

Chapter 24

The day went slow after that and I find myself unable to sleep, I'm going to talk to Reiji tomorrow for sure. I need to start getting answers and I need to see if I can manage to take master away. Even if I'm confused, and in shit with my mate master is still my priority. She will continue to get hurt here, and I can't allow that to happen for much longer.

Master shuffles next to me letting me go. She loves to cuddle me but now that she knows I'm not just a dog, she avoids some stuff now. It hurts me because I never wanted her to know what I was, even though I wanted to forget who I am. I can't stay in this room, I feel trapped. The room is so cold and master has all the sheets. If I turned human right now I could move the blankets but don't think master would like me human in her bed like that.

I'll go for a walk to calm myself maybe find a member of staff get me a blanket. Getting out of bed I stretch and sigh. I'm not going to shift because I'm warmer in my wolf form. Looking at the wolf amour and I find myself thinking of finding Reiji. I don't want to go alone exactly though. I have questions for him but the last time I went was going to ask him questions he had something planned.

Shit I can't open the door in this form. I guess I have to turn. Shifting my form, the cold hits me and I shiver slightly. I'm not usually this cold. It's a pretty dangerous thing master must be freezing. Walking over to her I feel her check with the back on my hand. She feels too cold. I run out the door and look around. Someone needs to be around. I don't have time to search for staff. I'll find Reiji. Following his scent leads me to, I guess his room. The scent is really fresh so he just went in.

I knock and wait for any signs of movement. I hear a sigh and footsteps coming closer. He's probably already so annoyed. The door opens and I hold my breath seeing his slightly surprised expression. He recovers quickly looking passive. "What are you doing awake? Let alone at my door?" He questions leaning against the frame of the door. He seems exhausted.

"Master is freezing, she's going to freeze to death. I need to get her some warm stuff or hot water bottles or something!" I say worrying about my choice to leave her alone. Reiji nods, turning and pulling a fur blanket from somewhere and bringing to me. I take it and feel the soft war fur. Feels so soft. I look up to him to say thanks, but he sighs.

"Bring her here and I'll have the butler prepare for her." He says waving me off. I take off back to the room and find Ayato leaning over her body. The fuck. Without saying anything I jump over the bed in my human form and tackle him. I do a good job pinning him down and growl lowly.

"What are you doing here?" I demand, my blood boiling. He looks angry too, maybe more. "Master doesn't need you taking her blood now or have you do weird things to her while she sleeps. I shouldn't have left her alone." I say pushing my hatred for him in my words but blaming myself in the end.

He scoffs, why would I take her blood while it's cold?! That's just gross. I'm here because I was going to threaten you but you weren't here." I believe everything he says and get off him. We both stand glaring at each other. "What's wrong with her?" He asks as I wrap the fur blanket around her. I lift her body and she cuddles closer to me.

"I'm not sure, that's why I'm taking her the Reiji." I say leaving the room. Ayato follows but I don't care. Looking at her face I feel heart broken. She's so pale, I lean down and press my forehead to hers. She's still too cold. Reiji's door comes to view and I see the twin maids leave the room. I quicken my pace and walking in the room. Seeing the room for the first time I notice that the bed is layered with blankets and heating pads.

Reiji walks out of the bathroom and motions to the bed. "What are you doing here Ayato? He asks and grabs a chair setting it next to the bed. Ayato grunts and then leaves, glaring at us. Okay then, one less vampire to worry about. I make my way to the bed sliding past Reiji and gently lay Masters body on the bed. Her face looks so soft and beautiful, I wonder if she is dreaming through this?

"What do you think is wrong with her?" I ask, turning to the boy beside me. He looks over her form before walking to a book on a night stand. I take it he's going to look into it. Kneeling down at her side I hold her hand in mine. She feels a little warmer. I hope she recovers from this soon.

I should take this time to officially see if there is any chance that he could help me out with school. "I don't know if this actually is a good idea to ask," he looks up from his book to me, "but I would appreciate it if you would tutor me for school." Indifference is turned to something I can't read when he shifts his expression. "I have no formal schooling and don't know how to write," I admit to him.

I lift myself from my knees and bow slightly. I feel stupid doing this when he and his brother almost jumped me the other day, but relying on master for this is not what I want. Master was kind enough to tell me what she was learning about when we were younger but now I need more. What if her sickness now is caused by me? The shock of discovering that I am a werewolf and the stress of now having to live in this place filled with vampires. I can't burden her more.
