Her Vampire Prince

Chapter 3 Dante POV

Darius came rushing in with a pained look on his face, he was breathing heavily, which is strange for a vampire. Leaping up to my feet, I rushed over. There must be something wrong with the girl with my mate . Without warning, he spins around and slams his fist into the wall, shocking me to the point I froze in my steps . " Darius what is it, whats wrong is she ok ? "His hands start gripping his hair and he shakes his head no " Shes ok Dante it’s ... it’s s nothing I..I found my mate too".

I looked at him in shock. I’d sent him to watch the girl to watch my mate wait hold up. A stupid thought entered my mind. But I can’t stop it from taking hold, my anger starts rising up as soon as the thought plants itself in my mind and then, before I can stop myself, I have him pinned up against the wall by his throat snarling in his face.

He looked stricken at the sudden attack. He started clawing at my hands, trying to get me to slacken my grip, but I was lost in a red haze . "Your mate is my MATE" I roared in his face, anger and jealousy swamping me, clouding my more rational thoughts. Recognition hits his face at why I was suddenly lashing out at him and he tries to shake his head back and forthwith he gasps out a response. " No no Dante, not your girl, the other one" he sounds strained .

His words slowly start to sink in and I drop him like he burnt my hand, he falls to the ground coughing and spluttering. Oh s**t what have I just made one mention of the girl and I was ready to kill my best friend , who has always been more of a brother to me .

Rushing to his side, I pulled him up from the floor. " Darius man, I am sorry, I’m sorry , I dont even know what just came over me", I apologised . He waves me off, already gathering his composure.

" It’s alright man, don’t worry about it , but no, not your mate, her room mate. I worried too for a second that it was the same girl. I followed them and they got out of the taxi and f**k a scent so sweet and strong hit me like a mad truck . I was panicking that we shared the same mate. I mean I love you, but f**k, that would be a disaster. Then I scaled the building and went to their balcony. Your girl disappeared into her room. Her friend came outside so I hid in the shadows and it was her Dante , it was the blonde. I had to do everything in my power not to grab her and f**k her there and then. What the f**k is happening Dante , why didn't I pick her scent up at the club like you did yours ".

He was looking at me with lost eyes , he wanted answers from me, but I have no idea. I couldn't answer him as I had no answers to give. What a mess. How could both of us find our mates on the same night and what looks like to be best friends too. " Did you find out anything about them? " I asked him instead . Darius shook his head no looking a little guilty, chewing on his bottom lip. " No, just their names.. My mind was too consumed to focus properly. I only got the name because your girl shouted for mine, Anya, and she asked your girl what she wanted, Sophie", he points his finger to each of us with the name pointing to our own mate.

I say her name a couple of times in my head and I like the way it just fits there. When I looked at Darius, he had this bewildered look on his face as if he was doing the same thing. Stomping over to my desk, I threw myself into my chair, putting my head in my hands. " We are going to have to go to them to feed Darius. If we don't, we will weaken. We can not afford to weaken now. We have too many people that would strike if they sniffed any sort of weakness amongst us. We have just taken over the 4th kingdom. There are still non-believers of our cause among them they would rebel against us if we weaken Darius. They haven’t had enough time under our lead like the 2nd and 3rd kingdoms have". My kingdom was the 1st kingdom. It passed to me after the passing of my father that we have always been known as the strongest of the five, because when the five forefathers split, our forefather of the first kingdom was the elder of the council at the time.

I looked up at Darius to see a panicked look on his face. He was shaking his head from side to side. " How will we control ourselves not to snatch them away , not to mark them, not to take them as ours, Dante. I had never felt a s****l desire so strong a pull towards another being so strong. My thangs lengthened instantly , I had wanted to mark her there and then. Be dammed of any consequences, it took everything in me not to do so, Dante" .

Standing up, I marched over to him and grasped his shoulders, giving him a firm shake. I know how he felt but we had to get ourselves together . "Stop acting so weak. We are the most powerful vampires of our people. Lenus is our only other match in power. I know you are as powerful as me. If you had royal blood running through your veins, you would be a prince also. Now two girls are nothing we can not handle, brothers. "

"Here is my plan. We will remain unmated until at least until we have all 5 kingdoms , and when they are all loyal, then we will act on our matings. Until then, we will visit them in the night and become apart of their dreams , so when we do meet them they will know us already. We will faze them, then we will drink their blood to remain strong, we will then heal them and then we will leave. We need to keep them protected , so we need no one to know about them except our inner circle. We will tell only Kristophe and Vincent and no one else, they will take shifts in protecting them but out of sight and when the times are right we will take them home and we will make them ours ".

He gulps hard. We both know how hard this would be for us. We are both possessive, we both live the b**m lifestyle and for us to leave a sub without our constant protection will be the biggest test. We had both released our long-term subs when we agreed to conquer the kingdoms. We didn't want anything that others could use against us. "Follow me to their apartment " he whispered tightly . We both blew out a breath and headed out into the night keeping our senses open, incase we picked up on anyone that was following us.

We become blurry in the night as our feet hit the ground at full pelt and then we take to the roof tops as we hit the city, jumping from one building to the next. Then, after a while, we came to a stop, and I knew instantly we were on the roof of Sophie's building. Her scent hits me full force, making my d**k hard in my trousers . We climbed down the building and landed on a balcony looking inside to see that it was all in darkness. They were 11 floors up, so unsurprisingly, the balcony door was open.

I pushed forward and opened the door, stepping foot into the apartment. Taking a look around, I noticed how clean and neat everything was. We both glided through the room until we hit a hallway with 2 doors at the end. I sniff the air separating the different scents. The left one is definitely Sophie's, her scent is wafting out in spades. We both stand silent listening. There was no movement, their breathing was soft and even. They were definitely asleep. Putting my hand on Darius's shoulder, I gave him a stern look and a nod. He had a determined look on his face. I gave him another nod as if to say we've got this. Well, at least I hope we have blown out a breath. I turned and walked in, slowly clicking the door closed behind me.

When I turned around and turned to look at the bed, I was rendered speechless. She’s so beautiful, her face is devoid of the make-up she had on earlier tonight. Her long black hair is fanned across her pillows , her bright red pouty lips are slightly open as she breaths shallowly. Making my way slowly to her, I see her breathing accelerate slightly, even in her sleep her body knows I’m close . I wonder if the pull is the same for a human as it is for my kind, then her sweet smell of arousal hits me full force . I stumbled back a step f**k what was I thinking I could not touch her. A stray thought hits me. What if she isn't thinking of me , what if I'm not the cause of her desire? She could have a boyfriend. I know nothing about her. I look down at her, my eyes narrowing he will be dealt with if she does.

I have to know , I have to see her dreams. I walked beside her and placed my hand on her forehead. Closing my eyes, I emmerse myself in her dream. A gift some vampires have is being able to read or interject ourselves into one's mind, make them see what we wish them to see at a touch only the most powerful or royals can normally do it .

Every vampire can faze the mind , make you believe what we wish you to believe in that moment or believe a lie. But to actually step in and control time, emotions and dreams . I could go back 10 years in her mind if I wished to do so , only royals could manipulate that deeply. Darius can do it. We've searched for years for his bloodline to see if he has a royal claim but could never find anything past his grandparents had, as if they just appeared one day.

Stepping in, I looked around and we were back at the club. I could see her thoughts and it was me she was thinking of .She was lost for words. My dream self doesn’t run , in her dreams he slowly walks to her and puts his hands around her waist, swaying them to a much slower song than the ones that was playing in the club. She looks up at me shyly, a blush on her beautiful pale face. I decide to intervene with my dream self and take his place so I can ask the things I want to know. Walking up behind him, I stepped into him, my arms going around her.

The feeling of her in my arms, even in a dream state, feels amazing . " What is your name, beautiful girl? " she giggles nervously and glances down, which makes my c**k harden more at the submissive movement. " Sophie " her voice is sweet and soft, so shy so unsure, If I don't leave I’ll take her now I know I will . " Nice to meet you Sophie tell me beautiful Sophie do you have a partner?" . She shakes her head side to side, causing a joyous feeling within me , then on impulse I think just once I need to taste her lips, even if in a dream state. I lean down, her breath hitches and I softly place my lips against her pouty mouth, her lips moulded perfectly to mine.

I’m so screwed. I shouldn't have done that. I faze her so the dream carried on playing with her, but I removed my hand and stepped back away from the bed and her. Placing my hand at my mouth, feeling my lips tingle still at just the briefest of touch, I look at her sleeping face she has a small smile as she continues to live the dream.

Quickly to resist anymore temptation, as she's blissfully unaware of her dream, I grab her hand and expose her wrist to me. I know this is about to blow my mind. Taking a deep breath, I bite into her wrist. Her sweet nectar fills my mouth and I moan at the taste. It’s like nothing I've ever tasted before. I feel it slide down my throat , feel my nerve endings pulse as I take a few more pulls and then I make myself pull away .

I lick the wound, then I bite my finger tip to draw my own blood and place it on her lips. Even in her sleep she doesn't question me, she just latches on and sucks a moan leaving her lips. f**k, I quickly pulled away and rushed out the door before I did something rash. The blood I gave her will heal her wound and help rebuild the blood I took. In a few minutes she would be non the wiser with no evidence.

I felt alive and strong, the strongest I have felt in a long time. Her blood was like a shot of magic, causing my strength to grow rapidly. Walking out into the living room, Darius is staring down at his hands fisting them, a look of amazement on his face. " Do you feel it too? " he whispers, sensing my presence. " Yes, I feel ten times more powerful than when we walked in. Quick, let's go before I can't leave ". He looks at me and nods eagerly. I can see his tension at holding himself away from his mate, the same tension I feel.

Grabbing his arm, I dragged him out to the balcony. We flew off of the balcony, catapulting ourselves onto the next building. What would have been a close call before was the easy strength in us, making the distance seem like nothing. We both grinned at each other . Yea, this could be fun, but the further we move away from our mates the more my agitation grows wild .My lips are still tingling from that kiss who was I kidding with one time. One time will never be enough. I don’t know how I am going to stay away, but we needed to for their sakes. We have too many enemies right now eyes could be literally anywhere.
