Blood Bank

Chapter 13

Seonghwa and Hongjoong guided me back to the first room that I was in before, but this time you could hear loud voices and yelling from the hall.

" As much as I love Wooyoung, this house was pretty quiet when he was absent," Seonghwa commented as Hongjoong simply shook his head as I watched the two from behind.

I haven't been able to read them at all. I could figure out Wooyoung and San's intentions because I can easily read their faces, but these two were different.

I trusted Wooyoung and San enough to live with them, but these two I just seemed as unreadable.

We got to the door and Hongjoong pushed it open to reveal two more people that I haven't seen yet.

" Oh good, all of you are here at once." Hongjoong placed his hand on my lower back to push me forward. " This is Amani. She was hired by Simul to take care of Wooyoung and San."

I offered a small smile and a wave to them, before looking back at San. I knew that he could read the anxiousness written on my face and I secretly wanted him to take me out of the spotlight before someone else spoke.

" Is she just for woosan or can she be shared with us too?"

I looked at one of them. He had fiery red hair, dark eyes and stood tall among the rest.

" I'm not being shared with the whole den." I spat, quick to cross my arms and stare him down.

If I continued to act terrified of them, they'll keep testing and teasing me while I'm here. I didn't get hired for acting docile anyway, so why should I start.

Docile isn't associated with Amani.

" I'm surprised you even spoke." A playful glint in his eyes as he accepted my challenge.

" I'm surprised you're still talking."

Within a flash, he was in front of me and a large hand pushed me against the door, quickly caged in long limbs.

" You got some guts speaking to me like that. Are you  still gonna be so confident if I bite down on that shoulder of yours?" He was awfully close, a devilish grin to match with his hair as his fangs grew
past his lips.

" Your breath stinks. Can you get out of my face redhead?" My face contorted in disgust before covering my mouth to laugh as he tried to smell his own breath; making a few of the others chuckle.

I used it as an opportunity to push him away and walk over to both Wooyoung and San, sitting between them.

" Mingi-ya, how you let a human make you look stupid?" The last boy, whose name I did not know of,  laughed. His hair was chestnut brown and he looked to be the same height as the irritating puffy lipped vampire.

" Shut up." He growled as he walked back over to him, eyeing me the whole way back as I gave him an innocent smile that rubbed him the wrong way.

" So like I was saying," Hongjoong glance a stare at Mingi and he quickly looked away. " Seonghwa and I have deemed her fit to be here, so you best treat her with respect. It's her choice to share her blood with the rest of us, but legally, she's only for Wooyoung and San. They are staying here tonight and leaving in the morning. Everyone play nice and fair. Do I make myself clear?" He gave a tight-lipped smile and a gaze that made everyone audible swallow and say ' yes'

" Good, then I'll leave you all to do what you want." Hongjoong looked at me before leaving out. " If your hungry, let us know so we can feed you. We don't need to eat human food, but we'll eat it occasionally." He shrugged and I nodded and told him thanks.

" Oh and Mingi, follow me." Hongjoong as he walked out, not waiting to see if he followed.

Yeosang was the first to laugh at the younger vampire. " I knew he was irritated with your actions. Now you gotta pay for it."

Mingi stood up and was ready to argue with him when he quickly remembered the Seonghwa was still in the room.

" Don't tell me you're going to ignore your Alpha's orders?" Seonghwa tilted his head to the side, boring his eyes into the younger and you could see him fidget.

" No," Mingi said quickly.

" Then go."

Mingi literally dashed out the door and Seonghwa was right on his tail.

The room was silent before a voice broke through.

" He won't be able to walk straight, will he?"

San reaches over and pinched his side, making the other one hiss.

" When did our youngest learn to speak like that?" San complained.

The bubblegum prince quickly joining the conversation, " Most likely from you or did you forget how inappropriate you are?"

" San isn't inappropriate. He always kind to me."
I argued and San smiled at the compliment.

"You're being awfully nice to her Sanie. She speaks well of you as if you haven't been just as bad as Mingi. Always challenging someone to get under their skin." The tall one added as he walked over and crouched down in front of me.

" By the way, I'm Yunho. I'm basically third in command when the Alphas aren't here, so you can rely on me as well." He gave a warm smile; the kind that makes you smile back by default.

" I come back home after how long and you all decide to bully me?" San whined, almost sounding like Wooyoung.

" We aren't bullying you. We just missed you." Yunho argued as he leaned to give the boy a kiss on the cheek and ruffle his hair. Watching how affectionate they were made me ask a question.

" Is this whole vampire den affectionate with one another?" I asked and it made Yunho turn towards me with furrowed brows in confusion.

" What do you mean?"

" Well just watching how you all act with each other, you all seem touchy-feely with one another. I mean Wooyoung was kissing Bubblegum prince when we first got here." I explained as I heard Wooyoung giggle.

" Yes I was kissing Yeosangie and yes we are usually like this. I hope that doesn't make you uncomfortable." Wooyoung rubbed the back of his neck, showing an awkward smile.

" Well you guys had this before I even came here, so I don't think I have a say in it." I gave him a side hug and he immediately hugged me back.

" You are really the best Amani." He went for his signature neck kisses before I tapped him to stop as Yunho continued to stare with a raised brow.

" My my. Woo-ya is even touchy with you. How special you must be." Yunho teased me even more as Wooyoung didn't stop when asked, almost as if he was trying to prove a point.

" Wooyoung, please stop," I told him before San plucked him in the forehead, causing a whine to erupt from the blonde's throat. San ignored him as he pulled me from him, making us both stand up.

" Come on Amani, let's get you something to eat."
