Love Or War

Unknown

“Sir, I have the reports you asked on the human”. Said my second in command coming into my office.

I looked up from the paperwork that I was working on and looked him straight in the eyes. How dare he come barging in here without knocking. How can he be so oblivious and disrespectful? Doesn’t he have any love for his life?

“How dare you come to my office unannounced and then barge in here with no care in the world. Do you forget who I am? Let me remind you. I am your king. You will show me respect!” I boomed.

He is lucky I didn't have any company in here right now or else I might have ripped his heart out of his chest.

Ever since I found that human 18 years ago, she was just a child. So She was too young for me to devour or at least too young to fill me up. So I've had to keep myself busy devouring other humans in the meantime, just to get my fill.

Over the years, I've kept a close eye on her every movement. It made my blood boil knowing she is out there and that I could ravish her in a matter of minutes. I could just suck her dry.

There was something about this human 18 years ago. For some reason, she caught my eye. She was only a couple of years old the first time that I saw her. But it seems that I have some sort of connection to her, that I don't quite understand yet. I was hoping that when she was at her prime age, I could go out there and seek her and finally get a taste of the sweetest blood that I could ever smell. I have never felt this way about any human I have come across before.

There is something different about her that fills my head from the moment I wake up to the moment I sleep. That is if I can get any sleep anyway. I lost count of how many times I had woken up in cold sweat, thinking of her delicious tempting liquid that would just pour out of her like a waterfall.

Over the years I could feel one emotion breaking through the tough wall I have put up.

Lust.

Lust has been driving me mad over the last few years. The blood lust I have for her is so strong that I feel as if it could swallow me whole at times. Not to mention that the lust I have for her goes far beyond just blood. I want to have her in my bed every second of the day.

“What news do you have on the human now?” I ask.

“It appears she is here in LA at this very moment. I have some intel that has told me that she had to drop out of culinary school because she could no longer afford it. My intel has also told me that she has been working at Moon Rise restaurant as a waitress.”

Hearing that disgusting so-called restaurant's name made all my rage almost surface. I had to keep my emotions in control. I can not let some measly weak human get the best of me.

“Is that all Zander?” I rubbed my face.

I looked over to him and I could see he had something else to tell me, but yet he just stood there shaking. Now I really need to know what is going on.

“I will not repeat myself Zander, you may be my second in command, but just remember you are replaceable.” I scowled

“No sir, that is not all, I have reason to believe that the owner of the restaurant, king Lucas of the werewolf kingdom has for some reason taken a liking to her. My intel has told me that he has also bought another building in the area and he and the human are alone in there as we speak” he flinched.

I got up from my seat faster than I anticipated. And rushed towards Zander and slammed him against the wall. I slammed him so hard that the walls were cracked around him.

“Are you certain about this Zander? You better not be lying or coming up with bull s**t. You better tell me right now where this building is or so help me. I will bloody rip your heart out from your chest and let you watch me devour it as the light in your eyes fade away”. I growled.

I don't know what has gotten into me. I have never felt this kind of rage before. At least not since I have shut my emotions off.

“I can not let that filthy mutt have her, she is MINE do you hear me? MINE to feed on, mine to ravish and mine to do whatever I want with. Do you understand me Zander? So you better tell me right now where she is.” I looked him in the eyes.

I have no idea why I said she was mine. She is just some random weak blood bag. But yet in the back of my mind, I want nothing more than to have her standing before me.

If I didn't know any better I would think Zander was about to piss his pants at any moment. He gulped real hard and spoke softly

“She is at the building around the corner of Moon Rising. She is there as we speak. I swear to you your majesty.” she bowed his head in submission.

I thought carefully for a moment. I can not step foot on their territory, that could be an instant suicidal mission. There must be a way around this to keep a close eye on her and make sure that that mutt doesn't lay a finger on her.

And then I had an idea.

“Zander, go seek out the witch and ask her to make a smell blocker, give her whatever she wants in return. But when she is done, I want you to wear the smell blocker and follow the human every footstep. I do not want you to lose sight of her. Do you understand me? If that dog so much as makes lustful eyes at her, I want to know about it. I can not go because it is not a neutral territory, it would be an instant death sentence for me, but since you are the second in command, it is up to you. Do not fail me Zander or there will be hell to pay.” I gave him one final look.

“Yes sir right away, I will not let you down.” he bowed and made his way out of my office.

“I will come and devour you my little beloved, I swear I will.“
