When I woke up, Alex has already been ready. He was about to say something when his phone started ringing and he received it.
"Yeah, she's with me," He said softly while giving me a glance. "No, like I said before, Noone are going to feed on the humans without their permission. Are we clear?"
I look at Alex as he hissed on the phone before standing up, ready to leave the room when I grabbed his hand.
"I'll bring some blood bags and call you later. Until then, keep your hands and fangs to yourself." He hissed lowly before hanging up.
"Alex, what's going on?" I asked,
"Nothing you have to worry about. "
I grabbed his hand as he started to get up again. " Alex,What's going on?" I frowned a little,moving closer to him as he let out a sigh.
"The guys are just pissed. You probably heard about the new rules I made. The vampires can't force on the humans for blood."
"That's really sweet of you-"
"Save it."
"If you can't take a compliment, then fine, I'll will go." I got up when Alex grabbed my wrist, pulling me back .
"Sorry, I just-"
"Just what?" I cut him off .
"Hungry."
"What?"
"I am hungry," He finally breathed, his eyes slightly glancing at my neck before swiftly moving on to my eyes again. "I am just very hungry."
"You can have my blood." He flinched before shaking his head.
"Katy, I am not-"
"I am fine with it. I really am. Also you'll get your strength back only when feed right?" I moved closer as he turned away.
"No. I can't hold back if you meant a little-"
"I said because I want to. Now stop being so stubborn and do it. You can just heal me back." I brushed my hair to a side and moved closer to him, his eyes slightly widening before he gulped softly.
"Don't do that, I really can't control if you keep-" He stops when I traced my neck with my fingers, slowly running them along my collarbone. Alex's eyes became a shade darker with desire and hunger, making my heart race faster than before. He pulled me closer.
"You're so stubborn." I stiffened when his tongue brushed against my soft spot. His breathing got heavier against my neck, as if he was hesitating for a minute. A sharp stabbing pain jolted in my neck as his fangs sunk inside and just as I let out a cry, a hand covered my mouth gently, his hand securely tightening around my waist.
I stopped moving, closing my eyes shut and arching my back a little. It doesn't matter whether it was Alex or any other vampire, it still hurts like hell. I let out a gasp when he finally pulled away.
"Sorry." He breathed, wiping the blood from his lips before digging his fangs into his own skin. He swiftly leaned in to cover his lips on mine and I stiffened when I felt the familiar taste of copper metal fill my mouth before he pulled away. The pain left shortly after I tasted his blood and we both looked at each other, not really knowing what to say. Someone knocks on the door and Alex gets up.
"We'll be down soon." He said out loud as I quickly wiped my lips.
"I got your girlfriend some clothes." A voice yelled back from outside the door and my eyes immediately lit up.
Alex stopped by the nearby cafe. People are watching us as we walked over to the counter, sitting on one of chairs.
"What would you like to order, sir?"
"You want a sandwich or burger or-"
"Sandwich."
"Alex?"
"Hmm?"
"Why do those people keep staring at us?" I asked lowly.
"Don't worry about them, just eat." He said impatiently, nodding at the waitress as she placed down my sandwich on the table. I slowly started nibbling on my food, trying to ignore the continuous stares.
"Stop shaking, you're with me." He calm me down and I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding back. Alex's hand was placed on my thighs. His touch was exhilarating and I was silently craving for more.
I finished my sandwich, grateful that he had drifted my mind away from those creeps at the table.
"I could watch you all day." He suddenly said as a smile played on his lips.
"Creepy, but okay. But seriously, those guys are creepy. Why do they keep staring at us as if-"
"They're vampires." My eyes widen as I looked at him in shock but a grin growing on his lips upon noticing my petrified state.
"What do you mean-"
"I really wanna kiss you right now."
"Alex, I am serious, we're getting out." I started tugging his hand and stood up when Alex didn't budge. I walked towards the door and froze when the guys started getting up, their eyes growing a shade darker as they huddled around me. One of them stepped forward and I flinched when I noticed his hands reaching out to my cheeks. I took a step back and bumped against something hard . I glanced up to look at Alex, who was now hovering over my body, his hand slumping on my shoulder.
"We were only trying to have a small chat with the pretty lady here," A guy stepped forward, "She smells really good."
"Too bad she's already taken." Alex seemed to be unusually calm for someone who'd have usually gone all out on them by now.
"Guess we didn't introduce ourselves," the blond haired guy started with a grin, pinching the bridge of his nose in a cocky manner. " Zack Ryder, the descendant of-"
"Alex Ivanov," Alex interrupted rudely, holding out one his hand while the other was still securely wrapped around my waist. "Guess you have heard of me then." He said as Zack's expression fell, in fear.
"Yes." He said softly, his eyes briefly meeting his brothers before mustering the courage to look up at Alex again.
"Why are you in my town, Zack Ryder?"
"I have some work to take care of." His eyes narrowed at Alex.
"I am sure you do, but I still want you gone within the week." Alex started leaving with me when Zack spoke again.
"I heard you change a few laws and rules between the mortals and our kind," I noticed Alex's eyes turn a shade darker but neither of us bothered to turn around. "I am guessing it's because of her," He almost taunted and I gripped Alex's shirt before he could turn around. "For the sake of her kind and ours, I hope you don't end up doing something stupid Alex.You know what will happen if a vampire and a human-" He kept rambling on but before he could say anything more, Alex dragged me outside with him, not ever bothering to spare another glance at Zack. I stumbled my way towards the car with him and decided to keep the questions to myself for now.
"What was that about?" I asked as Alex pulled over in front of the mansion "nothing" He mutter before stepping out in a haste.
"It's not nothing, Alex, stop!" I stepped in front of him as he let out a huff. "Tell me what he was talking about."
"He only spat rubbish. I didn't even hear most of it."
"I wasn't deaf back there, Alex." He brushed past me inside and I followed him in, slowly losing my patience.
"Are you seriously going to ignore me like this, Alex? If so, then don't bother trying to talk about it later." Alex stopped halfway as I turned to make my way towards the stairs.
He appeared in front of me before I could walk up the stairs. "I'll explain everything to you, in time. Just don't think about it right now, hm?" I flinched when his fingers grazed against my cheeks. He then disappeared from my sight.
With a long defeated sigh, I walk upstairs to my room. As soon as I opened the door and entered inside, a hand slammed it shut so hard and I gasped when I saw Rihana. Her eyes were raging in anger as she glared at me.
"I have been so fucking nice to you, Katy. I warned you to stay away from him, begged a pathetic human to give me what's rightfully mine and you have the fucking nerve to disobey me?" She was being hysterical now, scoffing and laughing with no amusement. "Who the fuck do you think you are?!" She yelled in my face.
"Shut up, you will not tell a word about this. I really tried. But you couldn't stay away and keep your filthy hands to yourself!" She hissed . My eyes widened when I realized that I was already under her compulsion. This is bad, she was definitely going to do something so.
"Rihana, what Alex and I have is a lot more complicated-"
"Cut the crap," She roughly grabbed my cheeks and I immediately started to panic in fear. "Don't say anything and don't move. All you have to do is follow my command. You are simply a worthless blood bag who means nothing to Alex. He will realize how pathetic and meaningless you are after I'm done with you." She was crazy. But there was nothing I could do, not with her having complete control of my body.
"I am going to hold an event tonight. I want you to attend right on time, wearing something extremely pretty, considering the fact that this might be your last chance to ever dress nice," I tried to move and start running but it was no use. I was stuck.
"At midnight, you are going to runaway, run into a car, drown yourself or better, jump from a building, whatever pleases you." She snapped her fingers . I felt a single tear roll down my cheeks. She wasn't serious was she? So why am I convincing myself to do as she says right now. "Say something, Katy."
"Rihana please," I barely croaked out as she glared at me.
"On second thought, keep it shut. You will not say fucking word about this to Alex or any of the Ivanov brothers, you understand?" She hissed one last time .
I simply nodded, tears rolling down my cheeks at how helpless I was right now. I felt so weak and vulnerable. The fact that she could get away with this over.
"Why would you go this far, Rihana?"
"Now, say your goodbyes to everyone else. After all, this is going to be the last time you'll ever see them." She ignored my question.
Without warning, she lunged forward, grabbing my hair and twisting my neck to a side before burying her fangs inside my neck. A blood curdling scream escaped through my lungs and she clutched my mouth roughly. She was a vampire, she was so much more stronger than me and I was aware of that. But I had to fight back, I had to do something, anything. With another muffled scream, I tried to lean away from her as she kept sucking my blood, completely draining me.
" I hate you and your presence so much that I had to stop myself from ripping your heart out every fucking time you lay your filthy hands on him." She kept rambling as I broke down on the floor, clutching my neck painfully as the blood started dripping from my hands to the floor.
"Whatever happened between us, is between us, are we clear?" She grabbed my cheeks, bending down to meet my eyes. My eyes drew inside her once again and I found myself nodding as she opened the door to leave. I lay helplessly on the floor, tears rolling down my cheeks as I cried and cried silently, asking myself why it had to be me. Why me? Why was all of this happening to me? Now I am going to die? I don't want to die. I want to live, I want to keep living, I want to-
Even my thoughts came to an abrupt stop before her words started repeating in my head. Kill yourself at Midnight, Katy. These words ran through my mind as I continued to lay helplessly on the floor.
Hours passed as I contemplated my life, wondering why and how I came to this point. Why everyone pushed me around and was able to throw me away like this. My life meant nothing to her.
How can she end someone's life just on a whim? Out of jealousy? How can someone treat someone's life like it was nothing? Was it that easy? To end another life?
Rihana is not what Alex thinks she is. She's evil, heartless monster just like Terry. Even Terry was nice compared to her.
