Nathan opened the door to Anna’s room, she was still awake. She stood in the corner of the room admiring herself in the satin dress.“Anna,”She turned around at the sound of her name, “Go away.”“I don’t think so.”Her expression became angry and she snarled at him, “You two are some sort of demonic spawn.”He chuckled and leaned against the closed door watching her as she started to pace erratically around the room. “Not exactly.”She stopped seething at him through clenched teeth, “Your boss is a monster and you are too.”Nathan grew serious, “He is a powerful master, Anna. Do not call him a monster again. You have no idea what he is capable of.” He stated his words calmly, but the effect of them stopped her cold.Tears began to fill her eyes, “He’s going to hurt her.”“No, he won’t.” He started walking toward her, “He will protect her, we all wi
He definitely could deal with this for eternity. ”Liya.” He smiled as she responded by stirring and softly saying his name. She managed to pull herself up on him and lay across his bare chest. Her hair cascaded over her face, his chest, and onto the bed. He brushed the hair off her neck to examine the damage he made. The marks weren’t very noticeable. He knew bruising would appear later. Maybe he was still able to keep some of his control after all. Surprisingly so. He tried not to take much from her. It was hard, because her blood was laced with pure virtue and fired his very being. It felt like liquid gold in his veins, and the more he tasted the more he wanted. He thought he may have overdone it, but she was still conscious, yet barely. He thanked God for not taking it too far. He pulled the blankets over her naked form to keep her warm and caressed her bare shoulder. She was more than he’d ever imagined in his bed. Her desires matched his and this was only a fraction of her full
Anna didn’t miss the look of shock wash over the woman’s beautiful face as she noticed Liya. “I think my friend has had too much to drink.” It was obvious that this woman was unaware of Damon and Liya. She wasn’t sure if this was a former or present girlfriend of his. She wouldn’t put it past him to have more than one. Though, by the look on her face she was really affected by Liya laying there. It just made her dislike for him deepen.Snapping open her eyes, Kaye stared at Liya for a moment, all elements of surprise were erased from her features, “I certainly hope she didn’t have anything to drink.” She said out loud to herself. If Damon shared his blood with the girl, she would be one of them. She couldn’t tell by looking at her, so she would wait and talk to Damon.Anna heard her, “What?”“Oh. It’s nothing dear. I’m just concerned for your friend. She certainly is lovely.” A complete understatement, “I can understand why Damon would take
Her eyes tore wide with shock, and then slowly slackened as her undead life crept out of her. He let her crumple to the floor at his feet. Although it had to be done, the agony of his actions hit him. He threw his head back and a roar of rage, pain and anguish escaped him. He had lost a part of himself in her.Crimson orbs watched intently from the far dark corner of the room. They faded into the shadows after Kaye lay lifeless and grey at Damon’ feet.Nathan heard the sound. He knew what it was. It was Damon.Anna suddenly sat straight up in the bed, her mouth hung open, “What the hell was that!” She looked at Nathan and he was gone. She climbed out of bed and tried the door. It was locked. She should have known better, they would have learned the first time. She wiped the tears off her face with her hands to clear her vision and turned around looking for another way out. Then her eyes lit up. The window. She ran over to it and pushed it open. She leaned out and st
Anna limped unto the highway, dragging her bad leg. Her eyes were blinded by the lights of the big rig. She then heard the loud crunch of twigs and leaves as the creature landed on this side of the wall. Terror filled her and she rushed straight into the path of the truck waving her arms and screaming. The powerful noise of the brakes squealing rushed into her brain. The she knew she would die. She closed her eyes and waited for the impact. When she was hit, she was knocked toward the ditch on the opposite side of the road. Darkness surrounded her.“Miss…Miss! Are you okay?” Bob barely got a look at what saved her, but it sure as hell wasn’t his driving experience. Although, he was still able to keep his rig upright and on the road, something else pushed her out of the way in time. He hit the something. He hadn’t gotten a good look at what it was, and he wasn’t sure he wanted to from what little he had seen. It was gigantic and hairy.Anna’s eye
A man Liya had not seen before was walking toward her, his eyes on the wolf. Her eyes flashed back and forth from one to the other.The wolf sat humbly at the man’s words and started panting, no indication it was going to eat her only moments ago.She was still afraid to move. He was almost as handsome as Damon in the same dark way but he looked to be several decades older and he was as hulking tall and thick as Nathan.“Miss Collins?”She was fixated on the wolf and didn’t hear himHe stared at her for a moment, then spoke slowly, “Miss Collins?” His ‘s’s sounded like ‘z’s.His accent was thick, so he took great care in speaking. So she knew his English wasn’t that good. She guessed it was German or Austrian.She snapped out of it, “I’m Liya…..” Then she realized that he had known her name and she had never seen him before.His eyebrows went up “Are you well?”. His eyes m
Liya was unprepared for his presence when he opened the door. He was captivating. It didn’t help that he was sporting a devilishly gorgeous grin and a new glint of knowledge in his eyes over their intimacy. Natie had just finished with her hair and Sadira zipped up the back of her dress. When his eyes settled on her she swore her insides just turned to molten lava.“You’re beautiful.” He said softly as Natie and Sadira gathered their things, bowed at Damon and rushed out the door. Julian closed it behind them leaving them alone.She tried to meet his gaze like Sadira told her to when she got embarrassed, but she couldn’t. Her thoughts immediately flashed to the night before.He felt her newly found feelings of desire and walked toward her while his eyes combed heatedly over her. A smile of approval lit his face, “I’ll have to give Sadira and Natie a raise. Did you sleep well?”She whispered still not meeting his gaze. “I don’t
Anna sat straight up in bed trying desperately to explain what had happened to her in the last few days and what had happened when she tried to rescue Liya. “It’s true Aya, I swear! I have never lied to you before, you have to believe me.” She pleaded.“But monsters, Anna? I stopped believing in them when I was a little girl.”“I believe her.”Jeff’s admission startled Aya, “What? Not you too.” She faced him with her mouth hanging open in shock, “Has everyone gone nuts?” she threw up her hands.Jeff ignored her and came up beside Anna, “I’ve seen it too, in his eyes. When I took Liya out last night, he showed up in the bar and took her…” He glanced at Aya, “I mean, she went with him. When a friend of mine tried to stop him, Damon had this look in his eyes and it terrified the shit out of me.”Anna nodded in understanding her voice raising in excitement that someone believed her, “Did his eyes glow and his teeth ge
