Hazel and Maeve

Chapter 11

-Maeve POV-

I quickly look down at the floor as I feel Uncle Dominic sit next to me. I didn’t want this to happen tonight. Of all f*cking nights, it had to be this one. Honestly, why am I even f*cking surprised? I knew this f*cking guy was coming, I knew this guy was going to do something, but I still turned a blind f*cking eye. My sister doesn’t deserve this. She deserves for her night to be perfect without all of this f*cking sh*t.

“Maeve..” Uncle Dominic says my name in his soft tone of voice. I almost broke, but I didn’t… Until he placed his hand on my shoulder. And, just like that…. the dam was released.

How long have I been so f*cking strong? Carrying this f*****g load on my shoulders. Why is it just getting to me now? WHY? F*cking why?!

Before I could wallow in self-pity, the door bursts open. Snapping my head up, I see my mate in all of his glory. My eyes fell down to see his hand wrapped around that guy’s throat, Kyle. The man who spoke to me just moments ago. Casimir’s hand is wrapped tight around his throat, and honestly, Kyle just looks like a rag-doll by how my mate is just dragging him around. A growl causes my gaze to land back to my mate. Only to find him looking right into my soul, his eyes shining bright red.

“Hold this piece of trash so I can go over to my mate,” Casimir speaks to someone. I don’t know who because our eyes are locked onto each other.

I catch a glimpse of Dante, and Echo grab Kyle before my gaze is brought right back to Casimir. He stalks over to me with his eyes raking all over my face. His jaw hardens as a tear falls down my cheek. He doesn’t need to speak, as I can feel him commanding me not to break eye contact. Frozen in time, I watch as Casimir stops right in front of me before bending down until he is level with me.

“Mio sole..” He utters the words so softly that I just melt into them. Bringing his hands up to my face, he cups my cheeks while bringing his forehead to mine.

“Casimir..” I just breathe him in. It is almost like he knows what I need within this moment.

I let my eyes fall shut as I feel his touch wash over me. His scent washes all over me, down to the deepest parts of my soul, down to my greatest fears. He consumes me within this moment. Nothing else exists around us. Our bond is reaching out to each other, and I just bask in it. Finally, I feel peace wash over me. A calmness that I never knew I had.

“Thank you,” I whisper out while opening my eyes.

“Do not thank me. I am your fated one. Your emotions are my emotions; you will never be alone with your thoughts now that I am here, mio sole.”

F*ck. Just those words alone cause a shiver to go down my spine. And, the way he calls me his sun… Dear Goddess.

“Alright, come on. We need to speak to this guy because someone starts to wonder where we all went.” Uncle Apollo’s voice breaks through my trance with Casimir.

Casimir does not like it as he lets out a little growl, but he does let me go. Straightening himself up, he holds out a hand for me to take. I happily take it as he helps me to stand. Moving to the side, I quickly see Kyle being held up by Dante and Echo. Dante is on one side, while Echo is on the other. Each of them has an arm within their grasp. The way they hold him, though, tells me that if he tried to run, he would be losing his arms in the process. Kyle smirks as he looks directly at me.

“You may have a mate now, but my Alpha will not stop until he ends up with what is rightfully his.” I think those words are meant to scare me. Ha.

I place a hand on Casimir’s arm to calm him before I take a few steps towards Kyle. “You think that is meant to scare me?” I ask him with the tilt of my head. “I must admit, that type of threat is so weak.”

Kyle smirks even more. “Te mostraré débil cuando mi Alfa te tenga atado a su cama.” (I will show you weak when my Alpha has you tied down to his bed.) Everyone growls at his words, but Casimir’s is the loudest as it shakes the walls. “What are you going to do? A mere vampire..”

His words are soon cut short. Within the blink of an eye, Casimir has Kyle lifted off the ground with just a hand wrapped around his throat. Gargles are heard throughout the office as Kyle flings his legs around. His hands frantically hit Casimir’s hand. Despite all of that, my mate is unmoving.

“You think I am a mere vampire?” The calmness within Casimir’s voice causes Kyle to still. “Just some poor little sap that got turned into this? Now, that is laughable. I am one of the original vampires. Something your ignorance could never understand. Or even begin to comprehend. I can kill you with just the twitch of my fingers. I wouldn’t even need to flick my wrist or use a bit of muscle to end your pathetic little life. Now, be a good f*****g waste of space and stay still.”

Holy f*ck. Is it wrong of me to be turned on right now? Because… f*ckkkkk.

Ughhhhhh.

Snapping my gaze back to Casimir and Kyle, I take in what is happening. Fingers are digging into Kyle’s neck so deeply that you could no longer see the tips of Casimir’s fingers. Blood is just pouring from the punctured words. Kyle is frantically trying to scratch at Casimir’s wrist while his legs are starting to really kick. My mate just keeps holding him steady while digging his fingers deeper and deeper. Until you could no longer see his hand.

“Hmm, I have what I need.” Is all that is heard before you hear this ripping sound. Kyle’s body drops to the floor as my mate stands there with half of a spine in his hand. “Mio sole.”

Snapping my gaze away from Kyle’s mutilated body, I look at my mate as he drops Kyle’s spine. Holding out his hand with a hidden command, I ask no answers as I just walk over to him. I take his hand within mine as I don’t care that it is the one covered in blood. Our fingers curl together as the blood warms my palm.

“We need to get back to the party. No one needs to be asking questions tonight.” Uncle Apollo starts to say. “We will honor Maeve’s wishes on wanting this night to be perfect for Hazel.” I smile at my Uncle as he gives me a half-smile. “Now go. Casimir needs to wash off his hand.”

“I agree. Go.” Uncle Dominic says with a hard tone as he stares at Uncle Apollo. It would seem that Uncle Apollo is in trouble.
