Charming The Warriors (The Charmer)

by Sanderson, Danielle

  “I’m sorry for just turning up without an invite Parrise.”

  “You will never have the need to be invited little one.”

  He strokes my face, going to kiss me on the mouth but I pull away reluctantly, I can’t betray Sallack by kissing another man, we have become very close over the last week, and I really do love him.

  “Love, please I need to feel you against me, it’s all I have thought about?”

  “I’m sorry Parrise. I love Sallack.”

  “Yes I’m sure you do, but I also know that you love me, I can feel your need to have me as yours. I need you as mine!”

  He is right I do love him, everything about him calls to me, his need his want and his love for me. I’m so screwed!

  “I don’t want to hurt Sallack.”

  “But you want to hurt me? Because I have been hurting. I did not come to you all week because I knew the Wolves would fight me, and they would get hurt. I did not want to hurt you, knowing how you feel for them.”

  So that’s why he hasn’t came to see me again, he knew I didn’t want a fight to happen over me. I feel bad for Parrise; he cares about me deeply, but why? That’s what I don’t get, he is worthy of someone special, someone like a model or even a Goddess.

  “Our lives are to different Parrise, I don’t want you to hurt, honestly I don’t.” I sigh, God this is one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make.

  “Please Zara. Kiss me, I won’t you with everything I am.” His luscious lips slip onto mine as I push him away from me.

  “Please Parrise!” I ask in a whisper. I can’t have him so close to me and not want him with everything I am.

  “What do you want from me, my love, I will do as you ask?” He asks with pleading eyes.

  “I want the Wolves to be safe, and I want you safe Parrise, I do not want anyone getting hurt over me.”

  “I will not intently hurt them, but you know we are sworn enemies, Vampires and Werewolf don’t get on, never will.”

  “Why not?”

  “It’s been that way for thousands of years Zara, It’s too late to change. Too many have been lost in battles and wars, few will forgive, none will forget my love.”

  How can the packs brothers’ hate Parrise so much, he is wise and strong and he has a heart, he holds a piece of mine.

  “Could you forgive and forget?” I ask with hope.

  “No love, please let’s not waste time talking of the Wolves, I have been waiting for you my whole life. Come let me show you the manor.”

  He picks me up and stands with me putting me gently on my feet. Releasing me, but keeping our fingers entwined together. He leads me out of the bedroom into a big hallway, and down the most elegant of staircases I have ever seen, they are so big, wide enough that 10 people could stand side by side. At the bottom of the stairs there is marble flooring and a big solid wood door, he steers us to the room on the left. This room has got to be the size of my house. It is huge! He takes me to a leather couch and sits with me.

  “Do you live alone? Where are we exactly?”

  “No there is my good friend Angus, you will meet him soon, I also have human help live here with us. My home is located in ‘Tomsview’, around 50 minutes from you in ‘Nickel’.”

  I suddenly don’t care where we are now. What do I say, ‘no thanks, I Don’t want to be ripped apart by your friend’. Dallah told me not to be near another Vampire, will he want to kill me? This is such a bad idea, maybe I should leave, like now!

  “ Love, do not worry he won’t hurt you. I will never allow harm to come to you; he will respect you as mine.”

  “But I’m not yours Parrise, I’m sorry I can’t be, I live with a Werewolf, and the pack are my family now?”

  “Ahh isn’t that sweet?” Says a man standing the same height as parries around 6ft 5. He is a hideous man especially when he looks at me with so much hate! I can’t help but feel extremely anxious. He has not taken his eyes of me and I don’t trust this man, I don’t want to be in the same room as him.

  “Lucien, what do you want, I’m busy,” Parrise says and puts his hand on my knee in a comforting manner. He said his friends name was Angus, not Lucien.

  Lucien walks to us, from standing at the doorframe, as I feel myself lean back against the couch, not wanting to be anywhere near him.

  “I came to see your new pet, maybe we can share?”

  Parrise moves so quickly, I only see him when he slams Lucien against the wall, one hand round his neck lifting him a foot of the ground. Oh, shit!

  “You will never speak of her in that way again do you understand? I will rip your fucking head of!” Parrise shouts at him. God he is scary! I have never seen this side to Parrise and I don’t think I want to ever again.

  Lucien nods his head at Parrise, and then looks me in the eye, but I can’t look at him any longer as my gaze travels down. Just then, another voice enters the room!

  My heart can’t take anymore, I can feel the beat in my bloody ears! I slowly lift my head to see a man walking in, laughing at Lucien being held by Parrise. He walks up to me and bends on one knee as I accidentally flinch. I feel bad as he is smiling a real smile. He is different to Lucien, I feel he means no harm.

  “Hello sweet it’s a pleasure to meet you, Parrise has told me of your beauty, but you truly are perfect.” He tells me almost gently.

  Here comes the blush, uh wow he is beautiful. His eyes are beautiful mix of green and blue, he has the most kissable lips, dark brown shoulder length wavy hair. He is... wow so gorgeous. My heart was beating rapidly, but now it’s hitting the roof. Shit can he hear what I’m thinking, he is just staring at me with a raised eyebrow and a stunning grin playing on his handsome face. Parrise has let go of Lucien and they just watch me for a reaction.

  “Um thank you, not bad yourself,” I say with a smile, and a playful wink as he gives a real belly laugh.

  “Oh I like her a lot,” He says turning his gaze to Parrise.

  “Angus that’s enough, let go of Zara’s hand please. I wish to be alone, take Lucian with you.”

  “Ok ok, I’m leaving. Sweet, I hope to see you again” He smiles and kisses my hand. Goddamn that is a sexy Vampire.

  “Love please!”

  Parrise looks at me frowning, from hearing my thoughts.

  “Oh, Sorry. Hey stop doing that!”

  Angus chuckles while grabbing Lucian by the shoulder and pushing him out of the room. Parrise takes my hand and pulls me to my feet as he places his chin on my head and arms wrapped around my body. He’s so big, so powerful.

  “Love, I’m sorry for that. He will not be warned again, he will be dealt with accordingly.”

  My body goes stiff, I do not want somebody’s murder on my hands.

  “Please don’t, I don’t want anyone hurt because of me.”

  “Love I will protect you my way. If someone wants to use you or hurt you, I will take care of them.”

  “I don’t want to be in a situation where my life is in danger Parrise, I think I should go. I’m sorry!”

  “No please love, just one more hour, I want for you to know me a little better, to understand me. I need you Zara.”

  I look in his dazzling blue eyes, I can see desperation for me to accept him, but also fear that I will not.

  “Why Parrise, why do you need me?”

  “You have given me a heart beat love; thought of you fill my every waking moments.”

  I feel so bad telling him I want Sallack, because I really do want him just as desperately as he wants me, but I can’t do that to either of them, I do not want to be that person.

  “I will stay for a little while Parrise.”

  “Thank you Zara. Ask me anything you wish. I will not lie to you.” He pulls me on his lap as I lean my head on his hard chest needing to feel him, as this is the last time I will go behind Sallack back to see him.

  Where do I start? His age! As Den told me, he is hundreds of years old, I secretly do not believe it, he looks to be a
round his late 20’s. Does he kill his food! Does he want to drink me! Keep me as a pet! I don’t want to ask any questions, they are too personal. I just want to sit within his arms for the small time I have with him.

  “Love, I can hear your thoughts!”

  He holds my chin in his hand with a smile spread over his face.

  “Uh, maybe you should stop listening.” I tell him with a grin.

  “Stop being sorry love. Ok firstly, I do not kill when I feed, the humans I feed from are very willing. I’m over 900 years as is Angus. hum, what was the other one…yes I want to taste you but I will not until you’re ready. I won’t push anything on you Zara, and I would never think of you as a pet, love.”

  I believe he won’t push me. I feel so helpless like he’s my personal magnet, everything about him calls to me. However, as soon as he mentioned his feeding on humans, question spring to mind again, are they woman? Does he have sex with them? I feel jealous before I even know the answers. I want him, want him to be the one he feeds from! God help me.

  “I don’t feel ready for this life, I’m so happy with my new home, family and friends. I do feel love for you Parrise, but it’s just wrong for me to lead you on this way. I don’t want you hurt?”

  “I know love, you need to know that I will be here waiting for you, and you will come to me. I want to be your friend Zara, until you will let me love you. That’s all I ask, friendship?”

  “Thank you Parrise, your friendship would mean the world to me.”

  He stands with me placing me gently on my feet as he goes to the CD player and selects a track.

  “One dance before you go, is all I ask, love?”

  “I would love to.”

  I step into him as he tenderly puts his arms around my waist, as my own hand’s lay on his muscular shoulders.

  “I love you Zara.” He tells me full of passion.

  I stop dancing as we stare in to each other’s eyes. I can no longer resist him the pull is to strong. He is my forbidden love and I really do love him wholeheartedly. Tears stream down my face as I step into him tenderly kissing his cool lips. His hand cradles my head deepening the kiss. I savor every heart breaking moment, as I know it will be the last. It is a kiss of goodbye.

  I break away from him leaning my forehead into his chest; taking a deep breath of the mesmerizing smell of him flooding my scenes. I lift my eyes to meet his one last time, as my heart skips a beat, he is everything I have ever wanted, needed.

  “I love you Parrise, truly I do. I’m sorry this hurts you, it does me also, so much. I will be here for you always, I promise this to you. Please forgive me for this, you are perfection in every way, I am not. You deserve more Parrise.”

  “Dallah.”

  Chapter 15

  Parrise

  As I’m holding my beautiful Zara, her eyes brimming with tears as she breaks our kiss, telling me of her love and regret and then she calls out a name ‘Dallah’. Our eyes meet, my own questioning hers, as I’m about to ask her who this Dallah is, she’s gone! The only Dallah I know of is Dallah the Princess of the light Coven, but it cannot be her.

  For the first time in centuries fear ripped through me. Who has taken my Zara, and why? Did she call on them to take her? I need to make her mine, as she belongs with me, not Sallack as he is just a glorified dog! With me, she would be treated like a queen. Sallack is not the man that Zara sees him as; he is a ruthless Alpha of his Wolf pack, killing other packs that encroach on his territory. I heard of Sallack and his brothers’ avenging their Alphas murder and took out the entire enemy pack existing of 20 or more members including their Alpha, they did this all as pups, teenagers. Anyone can see he is a powerful and strong Alpha, I will give him that. My kind have strength, speed and immortality on our side, so I have time to wait for Sallack to fuck things up, I will be there to step in, rip him apart and take what is rightfully mine, Zara!

  From the first moment I looked into her beautiful eyes, I knew I could never hurt her. The very though makes my skin crawl.

  There is something different about Zara from other humans, something unique, and I vow to find out what it is.

  Lucien walks back in the room his head held high.

  “Oh good, the humans gone,” He utters in disgust, Noting Zara’s absence.

  I do not have to raise a finger this time, Angus has hit him in the face, and the sound of his bone crunching brings a smile to my face. Angus grabs him by the hair dragging him from the room.

  Lucien was here as a favor to a friend of mine, who wanted me to teach him some respect I doubt he will ever learn, if I don’t return him soon I’ll end him, which might upset his Sire.

  “Master,” A human woman says walking in obediently. I have drunk from her many times and also enjoyed sex with her, as she’s most attractive, but since my first kiss with Zara, I’m not interested in anything more than sustenance. As I pull her onto my lap and begin my assault on her throat, a moan of pleasure escapes her lips, if only this was my beautiful Zara, the pleasure I could give her.

  The venom that excretes with a Vampires bite creates an orgasmic effect in the human body, which intensifies during sex. It is a power that few Vampires have or even use, most Vampires my age do not care for the human they feed from, but I like to watch the women enjoying me bite her, on occasion.

  As her hand slips inside my shirt to stroke my chest it brings me back to reality, this is not my beautiful Zara!

  I retract my fangs and briskly push her from me disgusted. I send her back to the human quarters on the lower level. The woman that choose to stay here are treated excellently, Angus and I make them feel special.

  Angus and I have human staff stay here with us, there is a man and a married couple, plus the woman whom choose to stay here, and let us feed from them. All the humans have worked for us for generations. They are bought up knowing what is real and what fairytale is. They are trusted wholly, they know if they deceive us it’s the last act they will make before I pull their heads clean of their bodies.

  Demitri our sire turned both Angus and me over 900 years ago. He is an evil Vampire whom sees fit to act as God to the other Vampires weaker than himself and what he says goes, unfortunately. As Angus’s sire, and mine he can make us do as he wishes and we have to power against him, which he has used against us for many years.

  “Parrise my friend you look troubled?”

  “Yes I am. Would you keep an eye in Zara for me? until I can get her away from dogs.”

  “Yes of course.”

  “She will be mine one day Angus, I can feel it” I tell him passionately.

  “There is something about her, makes you want to look after her, it’s a strange feeling!” Angus tells me a little taken back.

  “Ah you’re under her charm Angus.” I tell him with a smile.

  I head to my bedroom. I get out a pen and paper and write a short letter to Zara, for Angus to give to her.

  I know she wants to be with me, she loves me. I do not have to read her mind to know that, the smell of her arousal and the tightening of her nipples against my chest reveal's all I need to know. I now have to wait for the Alpha dog to fuck up, so I can have my little one with me in my arms where she belongs. Her perfect body held against my own, her eyes blazing once again with love for me.

  One day she will come to me.

  She is MINE.

  Zara

  Dallah has bought me to my bedroom. hugging me tightly while I cry into her shoulder.

  “I’m sorry sweetie.”

  Wiping my eyes on the back of my hand, I try to smile at her but I fail. I’m the one who told him I couldn’t be with him. I have to give up my love for Parrise for my love to Sallack. Nevertheless, my heart begs for him. The look on his face as I disappeared smashed my heart into pieces, but as painful it is, I know it is for the best, or at least I hope.

  “No, don’t be sorry, I want to thank you for giving me the chance to see him, I’m just sad that it will never be. I really love him
Dallah.”

  “I can see you do, but you did the right thing for now.”

  Dallah has become the sister I have never had, and always wanted, as well as a mother and best friend. We sit on my bed and I tell her everything that was said between Parrise and I, and the pull I feel to him.

  She listens with an open heart, reassuring me that a friendship is the best thing, and it is. I want to stay with Den and be with Sallack. He makes me feel as cherished and loved, as feel for him, not to mention the pack brothers’, I hold them all in my heart.

  “Zara I need to tell you things about yourself to make you understand.”

  What the hell! “Um, ok?” I say sounding a little nervous.

  I look at her and she smiles sweetly, I can’t help but relax my face from sadness and concern.

  “You need to open your mind and heart, ok?”

  I nod my head ‘Yes’ to her. Oh shit I have a bad feeling about this. Dallah speaks with a smile and her eyes dazzle in excitement,

  “There is a woman known as a ‘Charmer’ she is blessed to our races when we are in need of her, she is a gift like no other. No one knows the whole truth of her greatness, but I will tell you what I know. The Charmer is much like the word, charming. The Charmer is blessed with beauty of a Goddess; her heart is pure and strong. She will fight for those she loves as a Warrior, and those Warriors’ will love her in return and stand at her side, love her unconditionally. She loves these men from the first moment they reveal their true self. All of the Warriors are blessed with male beauty, Perfection. Her downfall being; if she is to choose the Warrior not meant for her and he breaks her heart it will be magnified to that of an average heart, unspeakable sorrow.”

  She squeezes my hand, from seeing the look of sadness on my face. What a horrible thought, to feel so badly broken by a man. Whoever she speaks of, I’m sure as hell glad it’s not me! Dallah carries on,

  “The strongest Warriors will want her as his, but the Charmer is only meant for the strongest and most worthy of all the men. She is not attracted to humans, as she is meant to be with a supernatural Warrior and she will only find these Warriors attractive. She is connected to a Princess of the supernatural, so that the Princess can teach and take care of the Charmer, In return the Princess is given the ability of all power unimaginable. They will love one another as family, fight together as Warriors, and be sisters like no others. The Princess will share her heart and soul with the Charmer as will the Charmer to the Princess as equals.”
