Among Us | Choi Yeonjun

four

The twins. They aren't like any other werewolves. I know their family are wealthy and well known among the undead. But they aren't cocky and still accept me, a vampire. I feel like I can trust them.

However I wanted to be alone right now. And Library is the best place to escape the harsh reality. Since nobody really likes the library, it's not crowded. The people here also likes peace and quiet. So they didn't make a lot of noises.

Peace and quiet, just how I like it.

I guess the students are having the best time in their life that I haven't seen anyone else except for the twins. And it looks like I'm alone in the library. The librarian isn't even anywhere to be seen. All by myself in this paradise.

The smell of the thin old paper greeted me. I'm always mesmerized at how the books are organized and placed at the place where it should be.

I ran to the fiction novel section. My favorite type of book to read. I can escape the world and run to another one that I know will never existed.

A book at the top shelf that has navy cover and gold decorations caught my attention. 'Among Us' that sounds like an interesting story.

I think hard trying to find a solution to get the book. I know I'm too short to reach the shelf. I could just turn into a bat, but I can't do things I used to do at home, now that I'm in the academy. I have to keep my keep identity a secret.

Or I could just grab a chair and use it to—

"You will never stop, will you?" an unfamiliar voice spoke.

I look around but nobody is here. I used my sensitivity to feel someone's presence. How can't I noticed anyone? Then I smell it, that scent. That sweet addictive scent.

"Oh really?"

I could feel his presence behind me. I smell the wolf in him too. And the cold aura... this has got to be—

"You think too much, it hurts my head."

I don't have the guts to look at him. I still can't accept the fact that my mate is a werewolf, like how?

"So, you know I'm your mate? Good. I don't know how a vampire like you is a mate for a wolf like me."

He— he could read minds? Oh, shit. He knew everything I just said.

"Yes I can read minds, but yours are too clear. I coud hear it even when I didn't open my ears. This has to be a mate thing."

I turn around to him, now I could finally see him clearly. The sun that shine through the window made everything even more visible. I noticed his eyes are brown like mine but just a bit darker. And his hair is even more adorable in person. His narrow eyes gives sharp gazes but he's looking at me softly with those eyes. Thick eyebrows, cute cheeks, and his lips... his pink and plump lips.

"Are you done? Reading someone's takes energy and your draining mine since I can't control it."

"How are you my mate?"

He smiled, "straight to the point, huh. Werewolves only mated with another werewolf or a human. But you're a vampire. There are only two possibilities."

He stepped closer as he talks, "one, you're not actually a vampire. You're a living creature, but your heart doesn't beat like you lived, so you're 100% undead."

I gulped my saliva. First he knew I'm his mate, second he knew I'm a vampire even though I never told him, third he could read my mind. Freak the fact I'm thinking out loud right now. Fourth, he could feel my heartbeat.

He isn't like any normal werewolf. What else can he do? I have to stay aware. I am not letting him blocking my way to my goal.

He sighed, probably because I drained his energy for thinking too much. But I don't care. If you're dead because you're weak than die.

He closed his eyes before he finally continue, "and second," he pinned me to the wall with both of his hand. "Which one is my kind? Your mom or your dad?"

My whole body tensed up. I can't think of anything.

I closed my eyes and inhale as much air as possible.

"Nothing? I didn't hear anything, are you blocking your mind? I don't know vampires can—"

His words was cut off when he saw my red eyes glowing. He didn't left his gaze from my eyes. He locked his eyes on mind.

I'm trying to cast him but his eyes isn't turning red. It's locked to mine but it's still brown.

"What is this?" I asked with various tones in my voice ( p.s u know what I < author > mean right? that demonic voice that has various tones like in horror movies... yea I don't know how to describe it )

"Just like I can't control my powers when it comes to you, you can't use your powers on your mate."

"Then why I can't sense your presence or smell your scent before?" I asked still with that demonic tone. But I got even more upset, that my fangs grow longer.

"I tried to hide my scent, but your mind is draining a lot of my energy I couldn't hide it for too long."

"If you're tired of me thinking than leave! Stay way! Why are you still here?"

"I—" he is stuttering, still looking at my red eyes. "I want to see you, but seeing you in your form like this... I'm— I'm trying hard to hold myself from kissing you."

What did he just say?....

How dare he think of me like that! I can't believe Nyx mated me with him.

The temperature got hotter as my aura got stronger, I'm on fire. I'm upset. All man are the same, all they want are dolls they can use to play with.

He tried to hold his aura so it isn't trying to fight. Or else it will explode just like before. He looks like he's really struggling. But he suddenly hug me, gently pushing my head so it's burried to his shoulders.

Ugh, his scent! I can loose control even more if he did this to me!

"I will let you go if you're back to your human form. Don't expose yourself like this, others can see you. You can be in danger."

True. That's true and I know it. But like what you said, I'm struggling to control myself when I'm with you too.

"We still need to find out why we're mated, right? Relax and take a breath."
