Lovesick - Legacies (The Hunter Book 3)

Chapter 17 - 'I Wasn't Going To Wait, Was I?'

"So, we just wait for Satan's night-light to summon another monster?" Hope questioned. Alaric shook his head and sat behind his desk.

"We continue as usual. If a new monster comes, we do as we have before and defeat it. Simple." Alaric explained. Wolfgang sighed and placed his arm around Hope's shoulder.

"Think of it this way, love." Wolfgang said, "If the monster isn't here, then we can actually go out on a date. Just you and me. No distractions."

"That sounds nice." Hope replied and Alaric watched the exchange curiously until the office door opened and Lizzie and Josie walked in.

"Girls, you aren't meant to be here until tomorrow." Alaric said and Lizzie shook her head.

"There was a strike at the airport. Mom emailed, messaged and faxed our updated itinerary." Josie explained and Alaric sighed.

"Sorry, it's been hectic here recently." Alaric apologised and Lizzie scoffed, "Yeah, we heard. Hope here got duped by some monster and now we are one key closer to unleashing a hell pit."

"Maybe you should be more careful with how you speak." Wolfgang warned and Lizzie looked at how close the vampire was to Hope.

"And now I've missed the drama because Wolfgang and Hope are clearly together." Lizzie sighed before she stormed off.

"I wish Hope had never come to this stupid school." Lizzie ranted at her mirror. Behind her, a blue skinned woman appeared with a smile.

"I'm a Jinni, able to grant you your heart's desire." Ablah explained, Lizzie looked at her cautiously, "Just say the word and your wishes come true."

"Fine." Lizzie replied in frustration and Ablah smirked, "Your wish is my command."

**********

Alaric, Josie and Hope walked into the bar. They paused at the sight of the sheer carnage in front of them. Bodies were strewn all over the place and in the centre, feeding on a person, was Hope.

The tribrid pulled away from the corpse once it's head had detached from it's body and wiped the blood away from the corner of her mouth before she looked at the trio and narrowed her eyes.

"You need to leave. Before you become dessert." Hope warned and a man laughed from behind her. Wolfgang walked up to Hope and wrapped his arms around her waist before kissing the Mikaelson square on the lips, licking off the blood still left on them.

"Now, love, you didn't let me eat." Wolfgang reprimanded playfully and Hope smiled as she leaned back against him, "I'll have the blonde and the old man. We can split the brunette for dessert."

Hope looked at Josie and nodded as Wolfgang rested his head on top of hers, "She looks delicious."

"Wait, stop." Alaric said and Wolfgang narrowed his eyes at the headmaster. Hope watched them intently but was obviously listening.

"I can help you." Alaric continued, "You're Hope Mikaelson, right?"

Wolfgang pursed his lips and glanced down at Hope, who nodded at him. Wolfgang let go of her and the tribrid stepped closer to Alaric, "Yes."

"I knew your parents. I know where this darkness comes from, I can help you move past it." Alaric offered and Wolfgang laughed.

"Hope doesn't need help, she has me." Wolfgang replied and Hope nodded, walking back to Wolfgang, "We're fine."

"Just give us a chance." Alaric pleaded and Wolfgang sighed, glancing at his girlfriend.
