Blood Of The Cursed

by BrittanyAnn Robinson

  “If we don’t contain the problem, human governments are going to catch wind. We have some connections in the federal government, and they say the attacks aren’t on the radar yet, but that could change soon if we don’t figure out how to stop them. The vampires are completely blood lust. They’ve gotten mean, and careless. The item that they wear to help them walk during the day that were blessed by the witches, are becoming invalid. Meaning that magic is no longer working on them once they become sick.” He sighs but then continues.

  “They are now only coming out during the night. My beta, Aria, has done a great job of cleaning up after the vampire attacks. Her and the pack can only keep this up for so long. We are exhausting all of our resources and wolves. After all, I am the regional alpha of the lower part of the state. That means I have to watch all of the cities. And those are the most populated areas. I believe the disease is spread by biting or scratching.” He said while pacing the floor by his chair.

  The poor kid looks so stressed out. I feel for him. He’s cute in that Edward Cullen type of way. How ironic.

  “I see. That is quite a problem. I’m sorry you have been dealing with this. Why haven’t you said anything sooner, Luca? We could have been addressing this problem by now.” My dad asked curiously.

  Luca shot my dad a look. “The attacks just recently popped up. Three or four days ago. I and all the lower regional alphas thought we would have the situation under control. But there’s lots of big cities in the lower portion of the state. It hasn’t shown easy. The bloodthirsty vampires are only coming out at night. By the time we have found out about a drained human, it’s daylight.” He said with a scowl.

  “Is it possible that these incidents are related? All of a sudden we have rabid wolves and vampires who can’t control themselves. That doesn’t seem like a coincidence.” Astor said while lost in thought.

  “It’s very possible. Although vampires and werewolves are very different species, I don’t see how the same thing can affect both. Even yet, we can’t rule that possibility out. We have nothing to go on, this is all new.” my dad said rubbing his temples.

  “Sybil, have any of the witches heard anything?” he asked

  She looked up from her book and gave my dad a questioning look.

  “No, we’ve heard nothing of the sort. I’ll have to get in touch with other covens.” she said looking down at her book in thought.

  “Well then. It seems we have quite a problem on our hands. At this time, there’s nothing we can do but keep our eyes and ears open. Stryker, Astor, and Luca, please start making calls to the other pack alphas in your regions. We need answers. And by the sounds of it, we need them fast. Whatever is happening among the supernatural races, is not good.” He looked around the room.

  “Luca said it can be spread from biting and scratching. Let the packs know that if they encounter a crazed supernatural being, to keep it at arms length. And if they can capture one alive, do it. We need to study them. Like I said, we need answers right now. Sybil, contact the other covens, make them aware of the situations at hand. These issues sound like they could be a very surreal threat. We need to act fast.” Barret said with an authoritative tone.

  I know my dad has a seat on the council and that’s a huge deal for an alpha. But actually seeing him at work, shows his strengths. He was definitely made for this position. People hang on to his every word. It’s kinda amazing, actually.

  After my dad issued his last command, the alphas and their betas start to leave the conference room. Nobody really stays around to mingle because they all know how serious and urgent of a situation we are in. I get up from my chair and start to walk from the room, only to be stopped short when a hand is placed on my arm.

  “Scarlett, may I have a quick word with you please? There’s something I’d like to discuss with you.” Sybil says with a cautious look on her face.

  “Yeah sure, Rhett you can go on ahead, I’ll catch up.” I looked back at my mate, who was standing behind me with a look of unhappiness.

  “Not gonna happen sweetheart. I’m sure if the High Priestess wants to have a personal conversation with you, it’s probably something I should be aware of anyway.” Standing his ground on the matter.

  “Okay, then you overprotective brute.” I replied with a laugh.

  Looking back at Sybil, I ask. “ What is it that you want to discuss?”

  “Well I’m not sure you are aware or not, but being a High Priestess gives me many powers. One of those powers is being a seer. I’m sure you know what that is so I’ll skip over the explanation and get down to the point. I had a vision, and it was of you. I’ve had a few visions the past couple of days, all centered on you.” She doesn’t have a happy look on her face, so I’m beginning to worry. Rhett is also worried, seeing as he is glued to my back, and emitting a low growl.

  “The visions haven’t shown me the entire picture, and what I did see I can’t reveal at all. But, what I will say is that you have some very dark and troubling times ahead of you. Not only will your individual strengths be tested, but the relationship you have with your mate will be tested as well.” Sybil explained with a worried look on her face.

  “Well isn’t that just freaking peachy. Why could it not have been some good news?” I said, groaning and looking up at the ceiling.

  Rhett lets out a loud growl.

  “You mean to tell me you have all these negative visions but you refuse to tell us exactly what happens? Why can’t you just tell us everything you see so we can prevent it from happening.” I place my hand on Rhett’s arm sensing he’s about to lose it. Losing it with a High Priestess isn’t going to end well. Especially with one who is doing what she can to help us out.

  “My dear boy, telling you everything in my visions would only wreak havoc. There is a reason only powerful being’s get to be a seer. If everyone could see and change the future, the scales would be off-balance. And that does nobody any good. I did not tell you of these visions so you would dwell on the future. I told you of them because I sense that you two are strong enough to get through what I see.” Sybil states as she walks out of the room, ending the conversation.

  “Fuck me. Can we get even a little bit of good news this week? Not only do we have rabid wolves in the U.P., but in the lower region now also. On top of that, we also have infected vampires. Now Sybil has put the cherry on top by telling us of her recent visions. And there was nothing good about them. At all.” Rhett slams his fist down on the meeting table.

  I close my eyes and take a deep breath.

  “Listen, I know we can’t change the shitty situations that we are in the middle of, but we sure as hell can change how we react to them. We can either be scared of what bad things could happen every single day, to make those visions come true, or we can actually celebrate being new Mates. I personally would rather celebrate.” I stood on my toes to kiss his neck.

  “You’re right, Scar. We have so much to be thankful for. This meeting today has just clouded my mind with negativity. I’m really glad I was able to attend today. I’m not sure how I would have reacted, had you came home and told me about this. Being here has made it easier to cope with, I suppose.” Rhett said as we left the conference room.

  Even though I was telling Rhett to be positive, I was having a hard time doing exactly that. I was trying hard to keep Rhett from sensing my emotions. He had enough on his plate, he didn’t need to know how I really felt about the situation. Deep in thought, I hadn’t realized we made it to the lobby already, when I heard my dad call out my name, and wave us over.

  “Scarlett I would like for you to meet my friend, Vladimir.” I held my hand out to the man who stood in front of me. He had pale skin, dark hair, and deep brown eyes.

  “It’s nice to finally meet you. Your dad has been talking about you since the day you were born. I’m sorry we are just now meeting. And under these circumstances as well.” Vladimir says as we shook hands. His hand was cold. That explains the pale skin. Vlad is a vampire. />
  “I’ve heard a lot about you over the years, also. Dad says you’re a bit of a traveler. You travel from different V covens to check up on things, right?” Lowering my voice. I had to be careful how I used the word Vampire. We are in a building full of humans, and I sure didn’t want to be the one to leak our secret.

  “That is correct. Barrett told me about today's meeting, of course, I’m not allowed in for obvious reasons, but I figured showing up and seeing your OL’ dad wouldn’t hurt. We were just finishing up. I’ll be sticking around Michigan to keep an eye on things, on our end. It was great to finally meet you.” Vladimir said. My dad and he hugged, and he was on his way.

  “Things sure are getting more serious if he is checking on things in the area. I guess it’s time to head home.” Rhett said, shaking his head.

  “But first, food!” I exclaimed, hoisting my finger into the air.

  Dad and Rhett both chuckled. At least I could lighten the mood a little.

  After the long drive back home to the Baraga packhouse, Scarlett went to her room to pack some clothes and toiletries to take back to my packhouse. After listening to the Alphas, and Sybil today about all the negative news, I’m relieved that Scarlett will be in my arms tonight. No matter how tempting it was today, even I didn’t have the balls to try and read Sybil’s mind to see the rest of her vision. Maybe Scarlett is right. There’s no point in dwelling on the negative that the future could bring. I let out a small growl, and I’m sure my eyes were yellow. My wolf wants to come out and protect Scarlett.

  I can hear you growling all the way in my bedroom, chill out.

  Oh, that girl is really getting it tonight. My right hand is just itching to smack that backside of hers.

  Hurry up so I can take you home and get you into bed.

  I pushed urgently through our bond. Not even a minute later Scarlett comes walking into the living room.

  “I’m ready. We can go now.” She looks at me with a smirk on her face.

  Scarlett says goodbye to her parents, and we load her things into my Jeep. This ride home is going to seem like it will last an eternity. I want her so bad right now.

  We only made it a half-hour before I had to pull over. It’s dark so I don’t have to try very hard to find a spot that would hide the jeep well enough.

  “I need you now, I can’t wait.” I breathed heavily as I reached out to her.

  Scarlett looked at me with mischievous eyes and a wolfish grin that showed how pronounced her canines were. She was just as impatient as I was. I really fucking love this female. I reached over the console and unclipped her seatbelt. As soon as the belt unclipped she grabbed the door handle and swung the door wide open and ran around to the front of the jeep. I followed her lead, smiling the whole way.

  “I want you to bend me over and fuck me over the hood.” She said as she unbuttoned her blazer, taking it off and throwing it on the ground. Leaving her in her tank top and leggings with her high heels. Such a stunning woman, I don’t know how I got so lucky. She took her hair out of her high bun, letting her gorgeous hair flow down her shoulders and back. Shit. The whole time she’s keeping her eyes expertly trained on me. Now I have a raging boner. My pants are starting to get tight.

  I cannot hold back any longer due to the sexy striptease she was providing. I need her this fucking second. I closed the gap between us. I ripped her tank top in half, pulling it off of her body and discarding it in the woods. She gasped and then recovered with a moan. I reached behind her back and unclasped her bra with one pinch. I yanked that off, throwing it as well. I ripped her leggings on both sides and let them fall to the ground. All that was left on her was her panties and her heels. I had to take a step back and stare. She truly is a Goddess. There’s no finer piece of art on this earth. Her breasts were perfectly shaped and fit wonderfully in my hands. She has curves that I could run my hands over for hours. Her heart-shaped ass was plump and round. I loved smacking it every chance I had. Scarlett’s legs went on for days. She’s truly the definition of perfection.

  I stood back in front of her. The heels she still wore made her almost an even height as me. She could look me in the eyes. Scarlett had a smug grin on her face. She opened her hot mouth and said “Don’t you think you’re a little overdressed?”

  I grinned and gave her a wink. Before I could pull my shirt over my head, she grabbed it at the neck and tore it in half, pulling it off of me and dropping it behind me. I was not surprised. She tried to unbutton my pants, but I grabbed her hands and held them high above our heads. I placed sloppy kisses along her neck and collar bone. She moaned which drove me even crazier. I let go of her hands, grabbed her waist and turned her around. I ran my hand from the back of her neck and down to in between her shoulder blades. I placed my hand on her back and shoved her forward, bending her over the front of the Jeep.

  Her ass poked out and I smacked it, she let out a squeal and a laugh. I unbuttoned my pants and pulled them down along with my boxers. I ripped her panties down and gave her another smack on the ass. I love the way it bounces. She let out a growl this time and said

  “Are you going to fuck me or play around all day, baby?”

  “Keep talking to me like that and I’ll make sure you get the most slow and torturous fuck possible, Scar.”

  A smile plastered her face. I’m starting to think this woman is a nympho. I love it. I kicked her legs apart with my foot. I took to fingers and ran them along her pussy and stuck them inside her. She gasped and I felt her tighten around my fingers. I slid them slowly in and out, earning me a moan. She moved her ass to the motion of my fingers, trying to push harder and harder on my fingers. I slipped my fingers out of her and stuck them in mouth so I could taste her.

  “Baby, you taste amazing. I know what I’m having for breakfast tomorrow morning.” I said with a growl.

  “Please fuck me. I need you inside of me right fucking now. I can’t wait any longer.” She pleaded.

  “Beg. Scarlett, I want you to beg me to stick my dick in you.” I said roughly.

  “Rhett, please! Please stick your dick in me! I’m begg…”

  Before she could get the rest of her words out, I grabbed my dick and rammed it inside of her. She threw her head back and screamed in pleasure. I grabbed her hips and pounded the hell out of her pussy. Her moans grew louder, and she’d growl in between. Each moan sent me closer and closer to the edge.

  “I want you to come first, Scarlett. I want you to come on my dick. Do it now, baby. Now!” I growled at her.

  No sooner than I gave the command, her muscles tightened hard around my cock, and she came. Hard. Screaming and squirming on the hood of the Jeep. That was the last push I needed and I couldn’t hold myself back any longer. I came hard and deep inside of her, growling as I pumped her full of cum. She laid there limp, her pussy pulsating around my dick. I was so sensitive, I had to pull out of her. She laid on top of the hood for a second, and I rubbed her back. I bent down and pulled my underwear and pants up, zipping and buttoning them up.

  “Are you okay, Scar? I didn’t hurt you did I? Talk to me, baby.” I said with a worried tone.

  She was still breathing heavily. She pulled her legs together, bending down to pull her panties up. She was all sorts of wobbly. Her legs looked like they were made of jello. I grabbed her and held her still.

  “Yeah baby, I’m fine. That was just really fucking amazing sex. I needed that.” She said with a cute smile.

  “You’re something else, Scarlett. I love you so much. Let me grab some of your clothes from the back of the car for you.” I said as I let her go and walked to the trunk of the Jeep. I ruffled through her bag and found a sweatshirt and some jeans. I grabbed her flats as well. Shutting the trunk, I walked back to the front of the Jeep, Scarlett was leaning against the grill.

  “Here you go, baby. Why don’t you step out of those heels and let your feet relax, okay?” I asked with concern.

  She nodded and smiled, grabbing the clothes and
getting dressed. She finished dressing, looked at me and said

  “Okay, let's get back to the house now. I’d like to take a shower and get some sleep. This has been a crazy and eventful day.” Scarlett said, her face still rosy from the heat we just created.

  The rest of the drive flew by. By the time we got home and put Scar’s things in the house, it was late. We both took a shower and passed out shortly after.

  The first thing I smell when I wake up in the morning is Scarlett. I don’t think I could ever get sick of her scent. Her scent will be the first scent I smell every day for the rest of our lives. I’m completely okay with that. The second smell that hits my nose is bacon. Man am I starving.

  Sitting up in bed, I notice Scarlett is no longer next to me. She must be downstairs with the pack. The thought made me smile. Scarlett is downstairs with my pack. What a relieving and amazing feeling that is. After a quick shower, and a set of clean clothes, I head down for breakfast. I better hurry before the mutts eat it all.

  Scarlett is sitting at the table, with a piece of bacon hanging from her mouth when she looks up and sees me. She smiles. I walked over to her and kiss her on the head.

  “Good morning baby. Good morning to the rest of you mutts as well.” I say as I go and start filling up my plate with food.

  “Morning bro! So how did the meeting go?” Asks Finn. I roll my eyes.

  “Let’s at least wait until breakfast is over. I’d rather not ruin a good meal.” I said pointedly. Finn has been with me long enough to know that tone means to just leave the subject alone. I don’t want to worry everyone right now.

  “So, Scarlett. Since Rhett is going to be busy updating the others on how the meeting went, do you want to run into Cornell with me to do some running around today? There are a few things I would like to get done and I don’t want to go by myself. Pretty please?” Hazel begged Scarlett. She even pouted her lips, we all laughed.
