Zac dragged me back towards the party.
“Let’s just keep this whole thing a secret. I don’t need your brother killing me for not watching you.” Zac said out worriedly
I laughed drunkenly. I really didn’t care what was going on. All I could think about was Shane’s lips and his hands all over me. How amazing it felt to be so close to him.
In all the madness, I forgot that I was dressed in his clothes. I breathed in his surprisingly earthy and husky tone scent. It was marvelous.
Zac dragged me through the party, keeping me close. It took us a while, but we ended up finding Harry somewhere in a back corner making out with some wolf chick. So very typical of him.
“Harry we gotta go bro.” Zac said rushingly.
Harry ignored us and kept making out with the girl. f*****g i***t.
Out of anger, I pulled his ear and dragged him away from the girl.
“OW!” He yelled out angrily
“Well if I can’t enjoy myself, then you can’t either!” I said out aggravatedly
“What do you want?!” Harry demanded out angrily
“We gotta go bro!” Zac said out rushedly
“Why?” Harry yelled out annoyedly
“Because Allison might be in danger.” Zac said out to my brother
“Who’s Allison?!” My brother questioned out confusedly like a dumb ass
“I’m Allison you idiot.” I said out angrily
Harry sighed out frustratedly.
“It was lovely meeting you Erica.” Harry said out to the girl he was making out with
“My name is Erin you prick!” The girl said slapping him in the face, then walking off
I laughed hysterically at my brother’s stupidity. He always seemed to get himself into trouble with the ladies, I wonder why?
“Let’s go!” My brother said out frustratedly
But then he stopped, looking me up and down.
“Whos f*****g clothes are you wearing?!” My brother yelled out angrily
I avoided his angry gaze, looking around the room.
“I found it in the lost and found.” I said out flusteredly, causing Zac to laugh
I hit him in the chest, shutting him right up.
“Let’s go!” My brother said out, yanking me along with him
We went around the room, collecting the rest of our people. They were all drunk and f*****g idiots. All I wanted to do was find Shane and be in his embrace.
It was like he put a love spell on me. Maybe I put a love spell on myself, because the way I felt about this man was unearthly.
As my brother and Zac gathered the rest of our people, I felt strong arms wrap around my waist, bringing fiery tingles up my body.
Soft lips touch my neck, sending shivers down my spine.
It was Shane.
It was definitely Shane. His warm breath on my neck made my knees weak.
“I’ve never met anyone like you.” Shane whispered in my ear as he trailed kisses down my neck
“Do you feel the connection we have?” He whispered out hungrily
My breath hitched in my chest. Of course I felt the connection we had, but we could never be together. He is Shane Archer, son and heir to David Archer, the most ruthless and savage vampire in history. He’s an original vampire. THE original vampire!
But Shane doesn’t seem like his father at all, how is that?
Shane whipped me around, throwing me from my thoughts.
His strong hands gripped my waist, making me desire his touch even more. The way he gazed upon me was like he was staring into my soul. Like he understood me and accepted me for who I was.
Hungrily, I jumped on him, straddling his waist. I kissed him passionately and shoved my tongue down his throat. I ran my fingers through his hair and pulled it hungrily, as I scratched and squeezed his rock hard muscles.
Since I was wearing his clothes, his bare chest was out. His skin was surprisingly hot. Vampires are dead and usually are cold species, but him, not so much.
Shane intrigued me so much and I couldn’t understand why he made me feel this way.
“GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HER!” Harry yelled out from behind me
Oh f**k me! Here we go!
I tried to jump off of Shane, but Shane held me in his arms posessively.
Harry rushed us, and punched Shane in the face, giving me a chance to get out of the way.
“Don’t f*****g touch her ever again!” My brother yelled out angrily
“Harry stop!” I yelled out worriedly
I did not want them to fight! I loved my brother, but somehow my feelings for Shane were making me worried for the both of them.
“Get behind me!” Harry yelled out to me, pushing me back
Shane didn’t like that.
“Don’t f*****g touch her like that!” Shane yelled out angrily, showing his fangs
“Don’t tell me what to do you f*****g blood sucker!” My brother yelled out angrily
“Harry!” I yelled angrily
Against my better judgment, I jumped in front of them both before they could tear each other apart.
“Shane, please don’t hurt him.” I pleaded out with him
Shane looked at me instead of my brother. I could feel the tension lessen and I saw his body language change.
“Fine! But I’m only doing it for you.” Shane said out annoyedly aggravated
“Thank you.” I said out softly, relieved
“What’s going on?” An unfamiliar voice said out, approaching us
I looked and saw a sun kissed man with dark brown hair approaching us. His amber colored eyes complimented his emerald green suit he was wearing.
I couldn’t help but assume he was someone of eminence because Others accompanied him as he approached us.
“Nothing of your concern puppy.” Shane said out angrily to the man
“This is my party! You will show me some respect!” The man yelled out angrily
He must be the heir to inherit the title of Alpha King. He must be Cassius Kingsman.
I honestly thought he would be scarier, I mean he will be Alpha King one day. He really doesn’t look like the one to fear. I mean the stories I’ve heard of him being a ruthless savage, don’t really add up to what he looks like.
Shane hissed at Cassius angrily. Ready to lunge at him and rip his throat out. I stood in front of him, putting my hand on his chest, keeping him from tearing Cassius apart.
I could feel his beating heart with my hand. I could feel his heart beat slow down as I ran my hand over his chest.
“We were just leaving Cassius.” Harry said out aggravatedly
“But you just got here.” Cassius said out confusedly
“I know man, but we gotta go.” My brother said out frustratedly
“Whatever bro, more fun for the rest of us.” Cassius said out amusedly cocky
I rolled my eyes at his annoying ass, his energy wasn’t good at all. He just seemed like a prick who just wants power.
Harry started dragging me away as my gaze was stuck on Shane’s.
“Next time bring your sister! I want to meet my wife to be.” Cassius yelled out amusedly, stopping me dead in my tracks
What the f**k did he just say?!
“Cleo will never be your wife!” I yelled out angrily drunk
Harry sighed frustratedly as he dragged me behind him. Cassius' face changed from amusement to rage.
“Says who?! Some ugly pathetic slut?!” Cassius yelled out angrily towards me
I was shocked at his rage, yet amused at the fact he didn’t even know who he was talking to. If only he actually knew that I was Cleo.
Shane didn’t like the way he talked to me.
“Don’t f*****g talk to her that way!” Shane yelled out angrily, showing his fangs
Cassius laughed maniacally at Shane’s anger.
“She must be one of your little sluts.” Cassius said out amusedly, causing others to laugh around us
Shane hissed in anger as he tried to lunge for Cassius, but falls short as some woman vamps over and stops him.
I couldn’t lie, I was very jealous of the woman touching him. It was like my blood boiled the longer her hands were over him.
But somehow, the woman and Shane looked alike. They shared the same color hair, silver white. They also had the same features. Could they be related?
Cassius laughed at Shane's struggle to get free from the woman.
“Your sister is always coming to your rescue.” Cassius said out amusedly
I couldn’t help but feel relieved when I heard those words. It’s his sister, I mean they do resemble each other a lot. Plus, people have always said David had twins, a girl and a boy. So I’m guessing this is his twin.
Just the thought of him being with someone else breaks my heart. Goddess Cleo, stop falling in love with that man!
“Let’s leave this s**t show.” Harry said out frustratedly, pulling me away
“No wait!” I pleaded out with him, losing sight of Shane
I can’t leave him like this! I need to make sure he’s gonna be okay. It was like I could feel him inside of me. I felt how much it hurt him to be away from me, even if we were just twenty feet apart.
But Harry didn’t listen to me, he kept dragging me towards the exit. I just gave up, knowing there was no choice but to leave with Harry.
My heart hurt, and my emotions were out of control. Tears started to run down my cheeks, as everything was starting to set in.
Harry picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. Cries escaped my lips as I dangled over Harry’s shoulder.
Goddess I must be really drunk because I’m over here crying over a man I don’t even know.
“I swear I’m never doing this again with you!” Harry yelled out frustratedly “you never should have come in the first place!”
“Shut up!” I yelled out angrily as I wiped my tears, dangling over his shoulder
Once we were near the plane, Harry helped me to my feet.
“Are you okay?” Harry asked out softly, with a look of remorse
I shook my head, not wanting to talk because I knew I would start crying again, but the tears came flowing like a river.
Harry embraced me, holding me in his arms as I cried.
My brother was really never the comforting type, but he was here for me, and I really needed that.
“What do you want now?!” Harry yelled out as I cried into his arms
I looked up and saw that he wasn’t talking to me. I turned around and saw that it was Shane, along with his sister.
I rushed into his arms, needing to be near him. Shane embraced me with love and comfort. He made me feel so safe when I was in his arms. Goddess how can I feel like this with this man?! I don’t know him! And what I do know of him isn’t the best.
Shane rubbed my back, calming my swirling emotions.
“Don’t worry my love, I will come and find you.” He whispered determinedly in my ear
He made my knees weak with his possessiveness and determination he had for me. But it soon turned to panic as I realized he can’t come and find me. If he were to come and find me at the palace then he would know my true identity.
“You can’t” I said out worriedly
“Why not?” Shane questioned me as he ran his fingers through my wet curls
“Because I’m engaged to be married.” I said, lying through my teeth
Shane looked at me frustratedly, pulling me into his arms tighter. I could hear and feel him breath in my scent as his hands gripped my waist, making me weak.
“I don’t care.” He whispered out softly
I sighed into his chest.
“I’m sorry but this can’t go any further.” I whispered out heart broken
“Come on, we gotta go.” Harry said out frustratedly
I pulled back from Shane’s embrace. He held on tight, not wanting me to go, but I had no choice.
I stood on my tippy toes and kissed him passionately one more time.
I could hear Harry sigh aggravatedly behind me.
“Goodbye Shane.” I said out softly, heartbroken
I turned away and walked up the stairs to the plane, not looking back. The tears fell so fast. I couldn’t look back at him. It was too painful.
The worst part was that Shane didn’t know who I truly was. He only knew me by Allison.
I took a seat in the back and just cried. Harry came over and sat next to me. He didn’t say anything, he just comforted me.
Soon after, the plane took off and we were on our way back home. Sleep took me as I had no more tears left to cry.
I was awoken to being lifted in the air. I looked around and saw that we were home at our palace. Harry carried me out of the limo and up the stairs to the palace. I had a killer headache. It must have been from all the vodka I had drunk. I’m never getting drunk in my life ever again.
The sun was starting to come up, indicating morning was approaching. My parents will be up soon. I couldn't deal with them today. Everything started flooding back in. It was like my heart was broken all over again envisioning leaving Shane there.
Harry carried me up to my room, and laid me down in bed, tucking me in.
“I’m sorry Cleo, but you know it would never work out between you two.” Harry said out softly
“I know.” I whispered out softly
“For what it’s worth, it really seemed like he genuinely cared about you.” Harry said out softly
Yeah it did, didn’t it?
“Get some rest, I’ll make sure mom and dad stay off your back today.” Harry said out sweetly
“Thank you Harry, thank you for everything.” I said out lovingly
“Of course, I love you Cleo.” Harry said lovingly
“I love you too Harry.” I said out lovingly
Wow, Harry seemed different. We never share any moments like this. I know Harry loves me, but he never makes it known. He must really care about me being upset. If only things could be different.
I got comfortable in bed, and closed my eyes.
Sleep took me soon after.
Darkness surrounded me. A sight that was so familiar yet so terrifying. Glowing red eyes are out in the distance, but I don’t see anything.
No shape or form of any creature, just red eyes. I just see red eyes. Why?
I drift off into slumber as I stare out into the darkness at the red eyes that look so familiar.
