YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE (BxB) (COMPLETE)

A mate's blood

~LENNY~

Whatever it is, it is very fast. I pump my legs to go faster. My heart beats rapidly in excitement in my chest, the thrill of the chase makes me forget my worries. The person in black jeans and a black hoody runs in a zigzag motion, trying to shake me off, but I am too full of adrenaline to even think of stopping. The thought of sinking my canines into whoever it is in victory pushes me to go faster.

When I am almost just a feet behind him, ready to pounch on him and howl in victory, something slams into me, knocking me off my feet. My wolf whimpers at the force of the fall as we roll over multiple times before stoping with my belly facing the sky.

Ben's grey wolf hovers over me, his paws keeping me in place. The surprise at the situation I am in only lasts for about a second before I threateningly start snapping my head in his direction, growling and baring my canines at him.

'what the f**k ben!.' I growl at him through the pack bond, anger and rage bubbling in my blood, making it difficult to keep a clear mind. Yes, it is natural for me to be angry at him for disturbing my peace, but the kind of rage I am feeling and disappointment is a bit too much to be just about this. The stabbing pain in my chest confuses me. I do not even know where all this negative emotion is coming from. My wolf is so mad right now and he is never this angry. He also feels hurt but I do not understand why.

' you are out of line lenny.' he growls, his snout moving closer to mine, his canines bared in an attempt to intimidate me.

'what the f**k do you mean? I am still in the forest like everyone else.' I ignore the shivers his voice is causing me and exclaim through the bond but he does not say anything. He just keeps growling, before I can stop him he has his jaws clamped down on the tender spot where my neck and shoulders meet but does not poke my skin, series of whimpers escaps my chest.

My body instantly goes rigid and unmoving, afraid that the slightest movement I make will lead to him bitting down, and I do not want that. My heart beats in fright, I can feel my fur getting wet with perspiration. I say and do nothing, when all my wolf wants to do is push him off us and tear through his throat, and that alarms me. He is not this violent, especially without reason.

A low growl tears through my throat and blood rushes to my brain when he attempts to clamp his canine on my throat and draw blood. He is suddenly thrown off me when the pressure from his teeth gets serious. I instantly jump on all fours and crouch low, I snarl and growl at the guy dressed in black who is also crouched protectively infront of me. I did not expect to see Leo's face when the guy turns around, and pulls off his hoodie. What is he doing here?

My thoughts are interrupted when Ben's wolf starts pacing infront of us, his eyes darting between Leo and I, growling threatenly at Leo when I move to stand beside him.

'what is your problem?' I ask Ben, who does not respond but keeps his eyes on Leo with so much contempt that it makes me feel sick.

'what is your deal Ben?' I ask again but he says nothing 'if you don't have anything to say then leave.' that catches his attention, causing his huge head to snap in my direction.

'you can not tell me what to do.' he yells growling at me now. But his attention is drawn back to Leo when he starts running his fingers through my fur, making my wolf purr before I can even stop it.

'what is that guy doing here?' Ben asks, but I do not answer him. It is not that werewolves and vampires have a problem. It is just Ben who has a problem with Leo. Vampires and werewolves overcame that animosity between the two species centuries ago, so we are all cool.

When Ben realizes that I am not going to answer him or pay any attention to his nonsense, he growls and runs off, leaving Leo and I alone.

"Well, that was fun." Leo says when he turns to face me, my wolf is as tall as he is. His smile lights up his already beautiful face, making my heart clench at how breathtakingly handsome he is. I am sure if I were in my human form I would be mimicking his smile.

"You are beautiful." He whispers as he stares intently in my eyes, his fingers gently caressing my fur eliciting another purr from me as I nudge my snout against his palm. He chuckles before caressing my snout.

"So you gonna tell me what that was all about?" He asks. I growl a little too loud at that, already starting to feel irritated at being reminded that the asshole even exists.

Leo just chuckles lightly and says, " I will take that as you not wanting to talk about it." I nod my big head at him.

"Wanna continue where we left off?" He asks stepping away from me slowly with a smirk. I crouch low with a growl, my heart beating in anticipation for the chase. I run after him the moment he takes off. The wind in my fur and the sun warming up the ground beneath my feet. After what seems like forever without me catching him, I realize just how fast he is.

He abruptly stops when we get to a clearing of green grass, the sun high and beautiful in the blue sky, giving me just the opportunity to pounce on him. And I did exactly that and watch with accomplishment as a smile tugs at the coners of his lips.

"You do know I let you get me right?" He asks with a smirk, I lick his cheeks in a wolf's way of kissing and turn around to find one of the trees under which we hide our clothes. I quickly change into some shorts I found and jog back to sit beside Leo who has his eyes towards the sky.

"What are you doing here anyway?" I ask, more out of curiosity than anything. He turns to glance at me with a smile, showing of his pearly white teeth before saying,

"You said you were going for a run, and I felt like going for one myself. So, here I am." God, he is so beautiful. The way his plump lips move with every word.

"Ok." I stupidly say, my cheeks turning pink with embarrassment at the knowing smirk on his lips when he catches me staring.

"Does this mean we are not going to watch the movie?" I ask desperately hoping he says we will still go. I like spending time with him.

"If you are still up for it." He says.

"Good." I stupidly say with a smile. His eyes lingers on my lips making it tingle.

"I have been meaning to ask." I start, waiting for the go ahead from him before asking. "I do not know much about vampires so I am curious. Do you guys eat normal food?" This question has been bugging me for a while now.

His lips pull up into a tempting pout before answering "yh. I mean we can eat it just for the taste of it, but our bodies get no nutrients from it. So we only eat it for the taste."

That is reasonable. "Also, I do not know if this is way too personal, so you are free to decline this question. It is your choice anyw..."

Leo stops my runt with an amused chuckle, I tend to do that when I am nervous. "You can ask me anything you want." He says his eyes darting between my lips and eyes.

"Okay, so what is your source of blood?" I ask with pink cheeks.

"You can just go ahead and ask me if I feed on human blood." He says with a smile. " Yes, we feed on human blood. But not like what you are thinking." He says when he sees my wide eye. " My coven buys blood from blood banks and share it amongst us. It is enough to satisfy us and keep us sane. But.."

"But?" I prompt when he stops talking with a faraway look on his face.

"But," he says turning to face me, the smile gone and in its place a seriousness I have not seen on him before. "When a vampire finds their beloved or mate, they can not feed on just any human blood again."

My brows creese in a frown, "why? What do you feed on then?" I ask

"Still blood. But we can not feed on any other person's blood but our beloved's. Just a bit of their blood every day to keep us rejuvenated. That is just how it works."

"What happens if your mate does not want to give their blood?" I ask, my heart beating like crazy to hear his response.

The look on his face changes, his now dull and dead eyes at my question sends chills down my spine. But it is just for a second before his smile is back, but it does not reach his eyes.

"Nothing good." He whispers with a sad smile.
