“You have a plan for this, right?” I gasped, my mind racing as I thought of Sean, Dad, and Grandma. I could only hope the Vampire’s had passed Breyona’s house, leaving her behind in their search for me.
“Of course.” Alpha Nolan grunted, “I had many of my warriors from other cities travel here, some of the best are on their way. From what I heard; they were ahead of schedule.”
“Brittany” I started, but Alpha Nolan cut me off with a low growl.
“I will deal with her when this mess is sorted.”
“She might not have known. They could have let the information slip, knowing she’d plan on escaping.”
I rushed out, my eyes narrowing as we drew closer to the house. “They could’ve planned all of this for the upper hand.”
“Or Brittany could be a spy.” Alpha Nolan snapped.
“She could.” I agreed, “But, we need to hear her out first.”
Standing out front of the house were six figures, four dressed in dark clothing, their postures rigid and tense. My hammering heart dropped to my stomach as I was able to make out the grim faces of Sean and Breyona. The lights inside the house were on, and from a distance I could make out my Dad and
Grandma’s worried faces as they peaked out the living room window.
I knew Dad was itching to go outside and defend his son, and I prayed to the Moon-Goddess that he would stay put. Dad had shattered his knee many years ago, and while it had healed, it still gave him trouble time to time. Grandma had a will of fire and obsidian, a force to be reckoned with but even she remained inside, most likely to keep my Dad from throwing himself out the door.
Both Sean and Breyona were standing their ground against four Vampires. In the hands of the
Vampire’s, they held something that reflected the dull light of the streetlamps. The Vampire’s had come prepared this time; sporting knives coated in silver.
Sean was fighting against two of the Vampires, but his movements were slower than usual. I watched as pain flashed across his face, and my eyes were drawn low, to the crimson liquid leaking down his t***h. If Sean was stabbed by one of the Vampire’s, his wolf was now suppressed, leaving only his strength and speed.
A flash of blonde hairlighter than I had seen on a human came into view. Those eyes, Tristan’s eyes met my own as a smile fluttered onto his face.
Breyona fought against the Vampire’s with a ferocity I had never seen before, her face clouded with emotion as a thin line of blood trickled down her scalp. From behind, five more Vampire’s stalked under the dim streetlight, their eyes set on Breyona and Sean. Undoubtedly, they slipped through the patrol line, avoiding the fight around our town.
Tristan stood back from the fight, surveying everything with a serpentine smile on his face. I was revolted at the sight of him, wondering how I could’ve ever felt attracted to such a monster. The scarlet mark tingled against my skin, as if it were scolding me for such thoughts.
“I’m going to f**king k**l him.” Alpha Nolan snarled, jerking the car onto the side of the road.
The two of us leaped from the car, running over to Breyona and Sean. Alpha Nolan tackled one of the
Vampires from behind, knocking him off Sean. With a swift movement, Nolan’s claws lengthened and raked across the Vampire’s throat. Thick blood sprayed across his face, the metallic scent filling the air.
I leaped at one of the Vampire’s, ducking as he swung the knife at my face. Time seemed to slow, and I met my reflection in the blade’s smooth surface as it whizzed past my face.
“Do not harm Daisy!” Tristan snarled at the Vampires who continued fighting for their lives.
The Vampire fighting against me listened to Tristan’s words, and worked to restrain me. With the
Vampire’s body close to my own, it was easy to twist and maneuver until my lengthened canines sunk into his neck. The feeling was oddly satisfying, like sinking your teeth into a stick of butter. Recoiling at the taste, I spat a piece of his throat into the road and watched as he fell to his knees.
In the midst of the fighting, something had changed. Sean no longer had the upper hand against the
Vampire’s and collapsed to the ground as the leather hilt of a knife protruded from his abdomen.
Breyona lunged to protect Sean, but was still standing her ground against two other Vampire’s.
My head snapped around as the front door to the house slammed open, and Dad came barreling down the steps. Grandma stood in the open doorway, her hand against her heart and a look of terror on her face.
“Dad!” I screamed, every nerve in my body bursting aflame, “Don’t!”
My body moved on its own, propelling myself forward until I collided with the Vampire stalking towards
Sean. Maya’s strength flowed into my body, dulling the sensations in my limbs. My claws and canines lengthened on their own as I swiped at the Vampire in feral rage. Snarls and growls echoed across the quiet street, and I had realized those primal sounds were leaving my lips.
Dad wrapped his arms around Sean’s torso, glaring murderous daggers at the remaining Vampire’s.
Making use of his time, Dad dragged Sean up the curb and onto the porch steps. I had but a moment to watch as Grandma stepped outside and helped, pulling Sean into the house.
Something hot and sticky ran down my face, the smell of copper in my nose. The Vampire beneath me was a b****y mass of torn flesh and muscle. His face was no longer distinguishable, though I knew he was handsome when alive.
I leaped from the Vampire’s body, ready to move onto the next when a sharp pain wracked my torso.
There was a tear in the dress Breyona had given me, around three inches long. Protruding from the hole was the leather hilt of a knife, a single ruby embedded into the handle.
Tristan met my eyes, h****r filling his murderous gaze. Alpha Nolan whipped around, as though my pain had physically affected him. While the two of them gaped at the knife protruding from my stomach, my eyes were on Breyona.
She was fighting against two Vampire’s, the fight in her eyes was flickering, d***g out as though it had been doused with cool water. Another Vampire stalked forward, landing a blow to her back that sent her to her knee’s.
Our eyes locked, and in them I could hear the words that refused to leave her lips.
‘I’m sorry’
“Stop!” A voice bellowed; one I hadn’t heard before.
The Vampire’s seemed to notice the voice, as they all froze, their eyes locked on the figure that walked forward.
Dark curly hair sat on top his head, with blackened eyes that seemed to peer into the darkness around us. Realization hit me, followed by confusion. This was the Vampire I had seen in the clearing, the one that had gotten away with Tristan. Tristan had told me his name…Giovanni.
My stomach twisted itself into knots as Breyona turned and met his eyes, a strange emotion crossing her face as their gaze’s met.
Love
“Giovanni?” Tristan’s voice held the confusion that burned in my eyes. As he took a step forward,
Giovanni’s gaze hardened.
“Do not come closer, Tristan.” Giovanni warned, his voice hard as a light accent curled his words. He approached Breyona’s form, clasping a hand around her arm as he pulled her back.
“Get off of her!” I called out, but quickly realized the error of my words as Giovanni turned to face me.
“I will not hurt her, Daisy.” Giovanni murmured; his voice soft as it hit my ears. “I will never hurt her.”
Breyona looked into his eyes, a look I had seen only a handful of times.
