Chained To A Vampire (ON HOLD)

Chapter Three

For 2 weeks I've been constantly looking over my shoulder, panicking that Paul or someone else would be following me, but as the minutes turned to hours turned to days, after fourteen days I start to relax, wandering around the almost empty supermarket, pulling various items off the shelves and into my trolley, heading towards the checkouts I suddenly freeze at the 3 figures that walk through the doors, the aura of power surrounding them is unmistakable, darting behind a shelf I race from my trolley, remembering at the last second to grab my bag before I race towards the back of the supermarket, aiming for the back doors. Racing past an employee I break out into the cold night air, my heart racing in fear, suddenly cool steel bands cage me against a solid chest, breath whispers over my hear as my heart hammers in my chest.

"I've found you." Paul's familiar husky voice slides over my skin, my body betraying me by warming at his touch and his voice. My nails dig into his arms in a silent warning, my breathing harsh to my own ears.

"let me go."

"Sapphire please just hear me out." he pleads, ripping myself from his arms I spin, facing him and still. Dark circles encase his eyes, his skin is pale and sunken, automatically I go to reach for him before pulling my arm back, chastising the traitorous limb.

" are you going to cage me again?" I ask, wary.

"No, I need your help Sapphire." I feel presences behind my back, their power permeates through the air and i feel my wolf stir, her instincts to fight or flight lends me power and confidence. Stepping out of the circle they tried to trap me in i keep all 4 men in my gaze, crossing my arms across my chest as the wind buffs against any bare skin. Bright violet eyes glare daggers at me, my breath hitches at the murder in his gaze. Hazel eyes regard me thoughtfully, scanning my body, assessing my every move. Green eyes scream boredom as the smallest of the 4 leans back against a wall, looking down at his nails, the action annoys my wolf who loves being centre of attention.

Make him look at us.

Would you shut up

Paul looks at me carefully, like im a wounded animal that will spook at any sudden move, maybe hes right, my body is tense in the fight or flight instinct and im not sure which instinct is going to prevail.

"Why do you need me?" I ask, already planning my escape, using the dumpsters beside me to collide with them if necessary.  

"We need your wolf's help." I immediately tense as my wolf perks up.

Lemme out. They want me.

I dont trust them

But they want me Sapphire.

But why do they want you Aeliana?

To have fun?

Somehow i dont think so. Now shush so i can find out.

I feel her reluctant retreat but thankfully she listens to me, stepping back slowly the men watch my retreat but Paul steps forward, mirroring my movements.

"What do you want from her?" The cold wind brushes against my back causing me to shiver, my thin coat not serving much protection, Paul is suddenly infront of me his strong arms wrapped around mine, his face close to mine, so close that only another inch and his lips could be pressed against mine.

Do it

shut up

My wolf isnt helping, trying to get me to give into temptation, not going to happen ... maybe. His scent overwhelms me, in a good way, his strength entices me, my fingers itch to run through his hair, i am intrigued with how he would taste but i force those feelings away, even as i feel the blush run to my cheeks, betraying my cool demeanor.
