It was maddening how I could only remember little snippets of back then. I remember my grandparents living with me at the kingdoms. They had always been loving towards me, but cagey whenever I asked questions. My grandfather had once come to my room to talk to me though. It had been cryptic, and I'd just been a young lad so I paid it no mind.
" Darius listen to me, one day things may change for you. When they do you'll have a decision to make. Live the life we've set up for you here, or go and claim the life you should have. If you choose the other Darius don't rush in, sit back and learn everything knowledge would be your only key to surviving ". He got up and left my room I can remember staring straight at the door. Then Dante came barrelling through it a mischievous look on his face. We'd gone and caused havoc somewhere and that had been the last I ever thought of it until now.
There was obviously alot of stuff I needed to find come terms with. The whole story was like a TV drama, last night when I'd come back to bed. I'd stayed awake thinking, I would offer the Alpha couple a chance to step down. No ill feelings try to be diplomatic explain all my findings. I'd gone over and over in my mind whether I definitely wanted to do this. The answer was always yes , if I denied who I truly was I belived I'd eventually regret it plus the guilt of leaving all those Hybrids to live how they are would eat me alive.
Plus all the story's I'd been told of the packs situation now. Anya stirs at the side of me her eye lids fluttering open , she blinks a few times then those eyes that I could get lost in for days looks my way. A smile creeping onto her face , as she stretchers her body out. " Have you slept at all ?" She asks me. Rolling over I land on top of her caging her in with my arms. " A little " I say looking down at her, I'd had enough of over thinking.
Her pupils blow out instantly , arousal strong in the air. She spreads her thighs making room for me between her long legs. Her desire for me was as strong as mine for her , my fiery Anya that matched me in every way and challenged me. I needed to loose myself I admit I was struggling to come to terms with stuff , I saw the way Cage and Mathew looked at me I was now there hope. Hope for me to come in and fix everything. But how could I fix it , they was there family or life long friend. To me they wasn't any of that , Bridie was supposed family but she wasn't the family I grew up knowing. My way of solving this would be war go in and boot them out of their positions. But I couldn't I had to be diplomatic and I wasn't the type. Dante was , that's why he made a good ruler and I made a good second .
" Baby are you OK?" Anyas soft voice , looking down I realise I'd blanked out in my own thoughts again. Nodding I dip my head and place my lips on hers . My attentions where to f**k her and fast, but now i just wanted to drag it out. If I'm lost in my sweet mates body I can't think of anything else. We get lost in just kissing for what seems like hours , touches and sweet caresses. When I do eventually sink into her body that's slow too. Her warmth centre's and settles the beast that was warring within me to break out.
I'd felt my agitation growing , my skin feeling too tight for my own body and a need to run to fight to just do somthing. But not now he was stuffed firmly away in the back of my mind. When we both finish we are sweaty messes , she's breathing heavily and panting close to my ear as my head dips into her neck. It's weird since becoming a Hybrid the need to feed is still there but it isn't as strong as before . Before I'd crave the taste of sweet blood feel myself start to weaken if I go too long.
But now it was muted, dimmed down I still felt I needed it but not as strongly. Releasing my thangs was even weird now they felt bigger when they dropped. I run my nose over her neck just about to bite when her thoughts hit me , I pull my head back and look down at her and her eyes widen a little. " what what's wrong ? " I say. Her eyes are scanning my face " your face looks different now, when you use to get your vampire on your eyes would flash red and black flame like. Now your eyes are fully black but with a ring of yellow and red no more flames ". I was scared that feeding would now hurt her , but I hadn't seen myself in the mirror yet.
Her fingers run down my cheek and her eyes lingering near my mouth " your teeth are diffrent too ". I run my tounge across them " I can feel they are bigger I'm hoping they don't hurt you " . She smiles sweetly and then tilts her neck . " Darius you could never hurt me " she sounds confident soothing things I don't feel. But the allure of her neck was calling me , the sound of blood flowing through her arteries the memory of how sweet she tastes.
Taking a deep breath I dip my head low laying small kisses along her jaw then down her neck. Her breathing goes shallow and fast ther hands go to my shoulders and grip tight. Then I close my eyes and sink my teeth into her neck, I listen for her gasping in pain or her body tensing. But she doesn't she moans the smell of arousal hits the air hard. I drink until I feel satisfied her blood making my body sing the feeling of being invisible washes over me. When I retract my teeth I lock her neck and pull up.
Searching her face for any sign of discomfort I don't find any. Infact she looks almost drunk. " Are you ok baby? " . She looks at me and grins " it's always felt amazing when you drink but that felt euphoric ". She laughs all breathy she reaches up and wipes my lip , she pulls back and there's some blood on her finger. She holds it out to me and I lean forward and suck it off her. Moaning I retract my teeth let her thumb go and then capture her lips in a forceful kiss. Even though I've just been in her I want to get lost again. But I know I have to face this , face the people I love and my family.
Pulling back I climb off of her and grin down at her pouty lip. " non of that brat go get a shower " I growl and she giggles scooting forward on the bed. When she stands up and head towards the bathroom she looks back at me over her shoulder. Her eyes dipped low and she's biting her lip " Yes Sir " her voice is low and sultry. I narrow my eyes at her and face her full on, the long sleek legs and peachy bum shakes a little. " Anya " I warn and letting out a low growl, she widens her eyes trying to make herself look all innocent. But it's too late I'm already stalking after her.
It's atleast a good hour before we emerge to the rest of them , walking into the dining room no one's there. Anya looks at me and scrunches her brow , where was everyone. Listening hard I hear laughing and chatting coming from outside the castle. " They are all outside " I say to Anya. We had all got so use to our routine it was kind of unnerving we was used to hauling ourselves up together. After being on lockdown while the threat was high. Walking outside I guide Anya along to the gardens where the noise seems to be coming from.
When we get there a massive table is set up with food , everyone is laughing and joking. " it's about time you two joined us, we thought we would enjoy the sun " Lisa says angling her face upwards with a happy peaceful expression. Anya goes and kisses her sisters cheeks and I take my seat at the side of Dante. He's happily chatting with Sophie and Cole about the baby. They was planning to get a doctor in to check her over after all the drama the baby kind of hadn't been focused on.
Looking around the table I can't help but feel agitated again. Everyone was laughing and joking a massive weight gone from there shoulders. They was enjoying just being with eachother , grateful that we all made it out unharmed. But me I felt more lost now than ever , it's selfish of me to think these people my family shouldn't be this happy while I was a mess. But then this isn't there problem maybe Mathew's and Cage's, it was there packs. I look at them down the table and they seem relaxed too, arms slung around there mates or holding there hands. The relaxed feeling from being inside my mate was slowly waning away. Why couldn't I just enjoy this moment like the rest of them? why did I feel so unhinged ? .
Suddenly I jolt up from the table my chair flying across the gardens with the force, the conversations go silent all eyes turning to me. Everyone's looking at me concerned or with pity. I can feel my chest rising and falling deeply , my eyes start to change and the feeling of anger builds. Anyas soft voice catches my attention. " Darius " I take off, I zip away from the table and the people I love because I can't be surrounded by it right now. Why was I feeling so much rage ? Why wasn't I happy we where all alive ?. Questions so many questions fly through my head it's hard to answer any. I just know I have to get away.
