I am grateful that it left me so adaptable. Unfortunately I was a very lonely child. I was even alone as an adult even though I was less so. I have friends just not many and they are all starting families and moving on with their lives, while I had been in a stand still. I guess I am joining them in starting a family now. I press my hand against my stomach. I can’t believe that even now there is a little person growing in there. One created from love. I hope he or she looks like their father.
I look up at Drake and I take his hand as he leads me out of the room. I can hear voices coming from downstairs. The council must already be here. I take a deep breath as I try to settle my nerves. One of these men is very likely the man who killed Paul and sent the hunters who attacked this morning. I do not believe that the hunters finding us was a coincidence. I was trained to not believe in coincidences. It usually doesn’t happen. There are usually reasons why things happen at the same time. I walk down the stairs and look up to see three men I have never seen before. This must be the rest of the council. They all gaze at me as I get closer to them.
All of their nostrils flare as I get closer. The one with the hair that is almost white and eyes that are nearly black, smiles happily. He is definitely not our guy. He seems so friendly and even has dimples when he smiles. I am sure the ladies must go crazy over him. I know that I would certainly notice him if it wasn’t for the man whose hand I now hold. He knocks the other guys out of the park.
The next guy’s expression doesn’t change much. One corner of his mouth lifts slightly in almost a smile. You can tell he is out of practice. He has dark brown hair and light blue eyes, not quite as light as William’s, though just as bright. He is beautiful too. I am starting to wonder if there is even such a thing as an unattractive vampire. I can tell that he isn’t the chipper sort, that maybe he has been alone for a long time.
The last guy seems to be spitting venom from his eyes. I can tell he doesn’t like me one bit and I have to say the feeling is mutual. He has blond hair and hazel brown eyes. He has very sharp features that on him makes him look almost feminine. If he wasn’t such a dick, I would say that he is kind of pretty in a pretty boy way. The way he is looking at me says he isn’t impressed by me either.
I squeeze Drake’s hand as I continue to look at the last guy. I am not sure of their names yet. Drake pulls me behind him when the guy lurches forward.
“What is that I hear?” He asks and even his voice sounds feminine.
“That is the heartbeat of my child, Phillippe.” He tells the vampire who I am starting to think of as the pretty boy. Phillippe growls and spittle flies from his mouth. He looks half crazed now that he dropped the mask of civility. I feel a hand on my back and I jump before realizing it was Thomas. He and the other guys have joined us in this not so fun party.
“You would have that abomination. It will end up enslaving us all.” He shouts as he moves so quickly that I do not even see him move until I feel him claw my arm. Thomas shoves me behind him. I hear cursing and the tearing of fabric. Other voices join in and then I can see again as the others move aside. Phillippe is being held down by William.
“You’re the one who killed my fledgling?” William shouts.
“He shouldn’t have had to be sent to me. You should have let him destroy the mate.” He snarls. He almost doesn’t sound human, like he is possessed by a demon or something. His voice is getting more high pitched the more upset he gets.
“The hunters should have taken care of all of you for betraying your kind.” He says and that gets William looking even more pissed.
“You sent those hunters? Who is the betrayer of their own kind? You disgust me. Emmy gives us all hope that we can also find happiness.” William says. The others murmur their agreement. William turns to them.
“All those who find Phillippe guilty of betraying his kind and for trying to kill a mate, raise your hand.” Everyone raises their hand in unison.
“Drake you might want to take Emmy out of the room.” William says and I am being lifted into the arms of my lover. He rushes from the room and the speed makes me dizzy. I sway a little when he sits me back on my feet. I grip my arm where I had been clawed. My hand comes away wet. I look down at my hand and see the blood. I sway again.
“Fuck.” I hear Drake shout as he lifts me back up. The last thing I see his green eyes staring down at me with worry.
Chapter 13.
I lay Emmy down on the kitchen counter and rip the sleeve off of her shirt, so there is no obstruction to my view. There are three long furrows in her skin. It cut deep and I only hope that Phillippe suffered before his demise. Why did he do this? It makes no sense. I lean down and start licking her wounds to close them. The bleeding stops as her cuts start to close. I can’t make sense of this. The only thing I can think of is that he was aiming for her throat but I stepped in between. He probably didn’t realize how fast I am now.
“It’s done.” William says as he walks into the kitchen. He rushes over when he sees that I have Emmy laid out on the counter.
“What happened?” He asks as he looks over my shoulder. Her injuries are closed but you can still see the red, raised area were the cuts had been. William growls when he sees it.
“I think he was probably going for her throat. I don’t think he realized how fast I am.” I tell him as I lift Emmy off of the counter and cradle her in my arms. Her head rolls back against my arm. I give her a little shake and nothing happens.
“Emmy, wake up.” I say in her ear. Still nothing. Then, suddenly her back bows and a silent scream tries to escape her lungs as her mouth opens wide but nothing comes out. Her body starts seizing and I lay her back down on the counter. I hold her down and William joins me to help keep her still. She stops and I lean back to take a breath when her heart stops beating.
“No.” I scream as I lean over her as tears pour down my face, big fat droplets of red drop from my eyes and onto her face, I can’t control them. I start doing CPR. I learned how a couple of years ago when I became friends with Steven and Julia. I wanted to be sure that I knew how to save a human life in case I needed it. I blink the tears away but they just keep coming, until her face is covered in red. I blow into her mouth.
“He must have put poison in his nails knowing he would only get one shot.” William says. I barely hear him over the ringing in my ears. If she dies, I will follow her. I will never live in a world without her in it. I can’t. I accidently bite my tongue as I press my lips to hers, giving her my breath. I do not stop even as my blood spills into her mouth. I will change her if I have to though I am not sure what would happen to our baby. I can’t lose her though. I step back to prepare to open my wrist to her, when I hear her heart start beating. She takes a breath and starts coughing.
I pull her into my arms and cry though this time in relief.
“Never scare me like that again.” I tell her even though I know it wasn’t her fault. William collapses on to his knees next us and wraps his arms around both of us. He knew that if she died I would have ended my existence. I would have sought out the hunters for them to release me from this life. My life would have no meaning without her.
“The baby?” She gasps and touches her stomach. I stop and listen to the strong beat of our child’s heart.
“The baby is fine.” I kiss her and touch her, making sure to touch every inch of her. William pulls back and I notice we are all covered in blood. I lift Emmy up.
“We’re going to go get cleaned up.” I tell William, all he does is nod his head. I can tell that he is still reeling from the day’s events. It has been too much. I need to take Emmy away from it all and spend that time loving her until neither of us can stand. She wraps her arms around my neck as I carry her up the stairs. I enter our room and start stripping us of clothes as I make my way into the bathroom.
I do not even look to see where the clothes land as I remove them. I turn on the water and step inside carrying Emmy with me. We both still have our underwear on but I could car
e less. I let the water wash over us as I watch the swirling pink water go down the drain. I sit her on the bench and grab the soap and start scrubbing her clean. I shampoo her hair and remove our underwear. I let the under garments fall to the shower floor. I lift her back up and we rinse the soap from our bodies.
“I need you.” She says as she reaches down and grabs my cock. I groan as her slippery hand slides down my pole. She turns in my arms and wraps her legs around me. She shifts and impales herself on my throbbing dick. I growl as her tight grasping pussy swallows me down into her depths. This is where I belong. This is my home. I never knew that I could have someone who completed me so perfectly. Someone to spend my lifetime and beyond with. The other half of me. The better half.
I grab her hips and help lift her on and off of me. I slide easily through her clasping walls. Her juices coat me and makes it easier to move.
“I love you so fucking much. Never leave me. Promise me.” I tell her as I continue to power through her tight passage.
“I promise. I love you.” She shouts above the sound of the water beating against the tile. I press her back against the wall and start plowing into her faster. The harder my thrusts, the more she mewls and scratches down my back. I arc into her and let go of my tight control. I move my hips so fast that it is probably just a blur of movement.
“You feel me.” I growl in her ear.
“Your pussy is gripping me so tight. You want my cum don’t you?” I say as I continue to move so quickly that a human eye wouldn’t be able to track it. I feel her channel start to tighten and she is keening louder. I know she is so close to her peak. I am scared to take any of her blood but I do not need much to make her feel the pleasure it can bring. I lick her neck once and then I strike, sinking my fangs into her neck. She screams as I feel her channel pulse around me. I lick her wound before throwing my head back.
“Emmy.” I shout as I feel my balls tighten and the first spray of cum shoots out my tip. I growl as each movement of her hips causes another stream of my seed to paint her walls.
I drop us down on the bench and kiss her lips. She is everything to me. Without her my world would be too dark. I wouldn’t be able to find the light again. I would drown in my despair. I never want to go through that. She makes me complete in a way that it feels as though I hadn’t truly been living until I found her. She makes me a better man. A better vampire. She even has made the others come alive again. She gave us all hope for the future.
I do not know what the future holds but I do know that I will not be alone. I will have my heart and soul with me always. Our child will know a better life than we had. We will raise him or her to know the struggles we went through. That way our child can better appreciate the life given to him or her.
I finally know what happiness feels like. I taste it with every kiss. I hear it with every gasp. I feel it with every heartbeat. I see it in the love that shines in her eyes. We are love. We are forever.
