His Beloved(A vampire's mate)

chapter 9

                          *Veronica's POV*

   Derek dragged my hand and entwined it into his. It felt weird at first but later on, I actually liked the feeling.

    Thoughts of what was going to happen next with their opposing clan, he told me all about them. I was actually scared.

   He also gave me some instructions that I should follow, if I wanted to come out alive.
' Veronica you are going to be in danger tonight.' I could still hear his voice in my head. And the other one.
' I will protect you at all cost. Just call my name. '

   We stopped in front of the stairs and he looked into my eyes. I wondered why he did, but I didn't want to ask. I was already confused of what I am. But the main thing bothering me was, why was I kidnapped in the first place. So I decided to ask him, since he seemed less harsh. I was actually starting to like this new him.

"Derek--" I said and paused for a response.

"What?" He said raising a brow.

"Why was I kidnapped in the first place ....." I sprouted out. I obviously ruined the mood, cuz his facial expressions changed.

"Because.....I wanted to keep you with me." He answered but that didn't seem like the truth.
Why will someone wake up one morning and decided to kidnap a person.

"Tell me the truth!." I yelled at him.

"I don't want to, and do I owe you an explanation?." He yelled back at me and his face turned back to a frown, as usual.

"Okay, you don't. I thought we were closer now. But you are even more annoying. ANNOYING BASTARD." I said as I walked away and walked as fast as I could through the flight of stairs. So as to avoid his reply.

    I moved to a table of about three chairs and on the table a vase filled with rose flowers, and a lot of delicates, but eating was the last thing I needed right now.
I crossed my legs and thought about Derek. Why did I insult him, who is going to protect me from the vampires around here?.

   I raised my head up from it's bent position and scanned around for Justin. At least someone to talk to and laugh with, that will do. Unfortunately, I spotted him with a girl.
' They must be enjoying their chit chat and it will be awkward if I joined them. ' I said to myself.

   I  was bored and uncomfortable at the same time, the heels were killing me. I just have to pull them off and I will feel a lot better and less uncomfortable.

   I bent down to pull my heels. I was removing the last buckle when I heard someone approaching.

"Can I have a sir." A male voice said. I rose my head and readjusted my hair and dress. I looked at him intensively. Get was wearing a black tuxedo. He had red hair, as tall as Derek, quite handsome but looked old like in his late forties.

"Yes, sure." I said with a smile. As I shifted my gaze to Derek who was talking to a group of old people. Since He said they had a king, then there must be a broad of other people in position. Maybe, the elements forming their clan.

"Why are you here?." He asked me. I looked at him and wondered what it was to him but I felt like not being rude, so I talked.

"Someone, brought me here." I answered.

"You are human right?. This place is for only vampires, who brought you here." He said as he stood up, reached for my face and put my hair behind my ear.

  It was really weird and creepy, and he kept a smirk on his face. Way more Annoying than Derek's. I have to stop referring to Derek, he was definitely not going to help me in this one. I have to stand up for my self.
