Mated & Blooded

Chapter 4

(Lucas POV)

"She needs what?" I said again.

"Fresh blood Alpha, straight from a vein. You'll need to call her mother, she is the only one who can provide fresh blood for her"

I heard my mate barely whisper

"No, Don't, she just fed me. It could kill her"

I knew what I had to do. I needed to feed my mate. She was after all my mate. She should not have to feed from anyone but me. As a matter of fact after today she would feed only from me. I mentally questioned the doctor on where it was best to feed her from. Once he answered, I waved the doctor out of the room and told him to guard the door to make sure no one came in. I then moved toward the cot and very gently lifted my injured mate onto my lap. I pushed a soft red curl out of her face, and placed my wrist into her mouth.

"Drink from me" I said.

After a few moments I felt a quick pinch as her fangs slid into my skin. Then, I felt my wrist and arm begin to radiate a warmth. I had expected her feeding to be painful. In fact the doctor had warned me that it would burn from the inside out. Oh, I burned but not in pain. It was amazing. It was sexual and sensual all at the same time. My blood heated and desire coursed through my veins.

I felt a moan escape me. I could feel my pants tightening. How could a vampire drinking my blood feel so good. This is the opposite of what I'd heard. Then again, this wasn't just any vampire this was the one and only hybrid and she is my mate.

The more she fed, the more I got turned on. I didn't want to. I tried to tell my body to stop but It just wouldn't obey. My wolf was going crazy. It was reveling in the touch of our mate. I would happily allow her to drink us dry and leave us for death. It just felt so good. I think I might have moaned a few more times. I didn't care. The doctor was probably thinking that we had moved from feeding to mating. So what! Its none of his business anyway.

I could feel her starting to come around. I watched her face to see if she would open those beautiful eyes. He eyes opened and I found myself staring into them. I watched them dilate and knew she was getting ready to freak. I forced myself to relax I even tried to make myself appear submissive.

"Easy mate, you're safe with me" I said in my best no Alpha voice

She paused as if she was trying to make sense of the situation. I saw her eyes dart to my still bleeding wrist then immediately dart back to my eyes. She made a small whimper, and then grabbed at my wrist. It surprised me, the touch was so soft and it sent lightly pleasurable shocks down it. I watched her flinch away from me like she was suddenly afraid. I could smell fear come off her. How could she think we would be a threat?

"I just want to close the wound" she said in a voice filled with fear and doubt.

My wolf whimpered. Our mate is afraid of us he said. We need to make her understand we will never her hurt. She is ours to love and protect. We would never hurt her. I slowly moved my wrist back towards her. If she wanted to close the wounds she could. If she wanted to feed more she could. Hell if she wanted to drain me dry and leave me for dead she could. I needed to make her see I would never hurt her.

"Don't be afraid of me. You are my mate. I could never hurt you. Have you had enough blood? Do you need more?" I blurted out in a rush

I watched her eyes dart between me, my wrist and the white paper on the cot. She paused and erotically licked her lips with her little pink tongue. God, what I wouldn't due to have that tongue lick parts of me, I thought. She looked down again at my still bleeding wrist; then bent her head down and slid her tongue across my wrist. I involuntarily moaned again. Oh god, what my mate can do to me. I thought

"Thank you, I'm fine and have had enough"

Her voice was as beautiful as the rest of her. It was sultry and hot, the perfect bedroom voice. She had the kind of voice that women who worked on sex phone lines could only wish they had. I watched my mates face change from being content to being repulsed. What could I have done to repulse her? She couldn't possibly know what I had been thinking. Oh god maybe she does, she is sitting on my lap she can probably feel the evidence of my thoughts. I felt her shift on my lap and I knew that she was going to run away from us. No my wolf screamed. We mustn't let her get away. She is our mate. We need her. Without our mate we will never be complete. We must be complete. Please we must make her accept us.

Just as she was about to hop off my lap, I wrapped my arms securely around her midsection. I put on the best fake smile I could and prayed to god she decided to give me a chance. My wolf and I both knew we needed Kalli to be complete and whatever it took we needed her to accept us.

"Hold on there a second Kalli, just where do you think you are running off to? I just told you we are mates; don't you think we should talk about this before you decide to go running off?"

I watched her face go through a bunch of different emotions. Most of them confused the crap out of me. There was shock, pain, fear, and disgust. My mate turned towards me and started to speak.

"Look uh.." she paused and I think she realized she didn't know my name.

"Lucas" I supplied for her.

"Look, um Lucas, I know what I am and I know how this is not going to work for us, so um."

My ears started to ring. My wolf was howling in my head. She was going to reject us. We knew it. We had to stop the words from coming out of her mouth. Once said, they were hard to take back. I reach out and placed my hand on her mouth forcing her to stop speaking. She looked so upset. I could tell her eyes were wet.

"Kalli, don't say it. Don't say it out loud. Give us time. Let us get to know each other before a decision like that is made. This involves both of us. We deserve a chance. Fate mated us, who are we to tell the fates they are wrong?"

My voice didn't sound like mine. It was so soft and I knew I sounded weak begging her to give us a chance. I didn't care that I sounded weak. I sure as hell didn't care that I was the future alpha. I knew without my mate by my side I would never be a good alpha. I needed her to be complete. Without her we were nothing. I watched a tear slide down her face. I couldn't stop myself from reach out to wipe it off her face.

"Please Kalli, don't cry. Give me a chance I promise I can make you happy. Just give me a little time to show you before you decide if you are going to reject me."

Her body quivered and she started to sob. I reached out and pulled her into my chest. I wanted to hold her tight. I wanted to force her to stay with me if need be. I had to have her. I pressed her into me and breathed in her scent deeply. I ran my hand through her soft hair and down her back. I felt her shudder. Oh god. I must repulse her. I moved to put some space between us and looked into her eyes. I was shocked by what I saw there.

"You don't want to reject me?" She said in a voice that sounded so full of pain.

Her words shocked me to my core. Kalli thought that I was going to reject her? Never both my wolf and I said in unison.

"Oh god no Kalli, I want to accept you as my mate"
