Forbidden Love

Chapter 15

{Emily}

"I'm an i***t, Jasmine," I groaned. 

"I can believe this, Em..." Jasmine sighed from the other end. "Out of all the people that could be your soulmate it had to be a werewolf."

"But tonight is the Red Moon. It'll be worse for me now that I met him." I glanced at the setting sun. 

"Didn't you two exchange numbers earlier?"

"I wish we hadn't."

"Why?"

"Because I'll be tempted to call him."

Jasmine shuffled from the other end. The sound of munching followed. "Uh-huh. Did your father lock you in that isolated house in the woods with no one around? Meaning you're the only there."

I frowned. "Yeah, but-"

"Perfect. You can call him over and no one would ever know. You are lucky. You have someone to ease your pain." Her munching stopped and she sighed again. "I forgot. You're a virgin."

"You're so insensitive," I growled. 

"Sorry, sorry. Anyways, I have to go now. We'll talk after the three days."

"Yeah, yeah." We both hung up and I flopped on the bed. It was a foul move to give Orion my number. I was only attaching myself even more than I needed to. These four days will be lonely ones. 

Father had this house constructed ever since I turned sixteen which is the age that female vampires experience the power of the Red Moon. He claimed that he wanted to keep his dignity. Sometimes, I heard him say that he wished I was a boy and not a girl. It would've been much easier for him. 

It was a desolate house. Two stories and equipped with everything I would ever need. There was no one around in the ten miles of forest surrounding the house. Jasmine personally brought a bag of...sexual equipment?

She did that to tease me consistently. But that bag was thrown in the far corner of my room. The sky began darkening and the faint light of the rising moon approached.

I sighed, gulping down a glass of water.

I stared at the clock panting. It was 10:30. A mental picture of Orion kept appearing in my head. I turned the air conditioning on high speed. The air felt sticky and hot.

I couldn't bear my clothes that were burning against my skin. Throughout the day the pain stopped except for the occasional abdomen pains. But at night, when the moon was high, it was excruciating. I needed Orion. I never thought I could have such profane thoughts about him. 

 I kept recalling our moment in the girl's locker room. I needed his lips against me and more. It was impossible to sleep. I'm sure that the Dawn Howlers were dumbfounded to find that no female vampire was present today for class. I felt my abdomen clench as another wave of heat coursed through my body. 

My body was sweating. My t-shirt and shorts were longer thrown onto the ground. "I need..." I panted and reached for my phone.

I hesitated. "No...what am I d-doing..."

My vision was hazy as I opened up my contact list on my phone. Just thinking about Orion kept turning me on. Should I? This was a terrible idea. I threw my phone across the room to prevent from dialing his number. Even the slightest movement could send heat down my spine. 

Thirty minutes went by I and concluded my decision. Even if I regretted this later, I would call him. I crawled onto the carpeted floor until I reached my phone. By then I was heavily panting. My movements sent shocking waves through my body. 

I dialed his number before I could regret it. "I'm sorry, the person you were trying to call-"

I turned off my phone. He wasn't picking up. My efforts went to waste. His names felt cool on my tongue, resonating through the room. The screen on my phone lit up. It was Orion. 

"Emily? It's eleven at night," he yawned. "Why weren't you in school today?"

"O-Ori...Orion.." I couldn't hide my mewls at the sound of his voice.

I heard the low dry hum of his swallow. "Emily...what's wrong?"

"I-I want you, Beta..." The harsh puffs of his breath filled my ears. 

"What did you say?" His low growl was dominant. I slowly made my way back to the bed, its creaks were impossible to hide. "Emily, repeat what you said."

I gulped down more water before babbling, "I want you...need you in me, Beta."

The curious fact about this was that Alphas and Betas were the same. And since Orion was beta-born this worked out perfectly. I need to get him here. Alphas and Betas can't resist the submissiveness of their mate.

"Emily...do you hear what you're saying? Are you...in heat?" The strain in his voice made me feel pleasure. I was the one causing him to call out his self-restraint.

"It's Red Moon week, Beta..." I whimpered as another wave flowed through me. "I need the Beta's-"

He quickly interrupted me. "Emily, you're not in the right state of mind. You're not sure if you want this. You're in heat. I don't want to take advantage of-"

"Fine. I'll go find myself another Beta. Maybe an Alpha," I growled and hung up. Did he not hear the despair and need in my voice? He's annoying me right now.

My phone kept ringing with all the incoming calls from Orion. I made him anxious. Since he didn't mark me or fully bond with me he could feel a tad bit of pain if I sleep with another man. But since I'm a pureblood, I can mask the fact that I'm with another man and he knows that. 

But Red Moon week made me experience pain than any other vampire. Because I have fox and vampire blood. And foxes are known to be very aggressive and s****l during their heat. My phone began ringing with notifications of Orion's messages. 

One of them read, "Emily, please, you're putting me in a tough spot. Don't do anything stupid."

I ignored them all and typed, "Have you heard about the Nighthaven Pack? The Alpha is around our age. I'm considering him as a possible candidate since his pack is close by. I heard his name is River."

His messages kept flowing, urgent, and anxious. I decided to tease him more by texting, "How about Noah? He's only a call away."

In the end, he stopped persisting and my phone no longer lit up with notifications. What a disappointment. I flopped onto my bed again, the bag in the corner of the room was tempting me. I hugged my pillow as another wave of heat surged. 

"Orion..." I cried. 

The window of my room suddenly burst open. "You called?"

He was actually here. My eyes followed his every move as he quickly closed the windows and sagged against the wall. "You're unfair. I had to call an agitated vampire just to get your location."

I thought for a moment. Jasmine must've given him my location. She must've been angry that he was calling her instead of one of her boy toys. "Beta...I need you inside me..." I mewled kicking at my sheets that felt searing against my skin.

He inhaled sharply. I forgot that I was only in my undergarments. A simple black bra and lace panties. He shook his head furiously. "No."

"Then leave," I ordered. My breath was ragged and my body was flushed. 

"I won't," he said, coming closer and covering me up with the silk sheet. I quickly cupped his face in my hands and flipped his body onto the bed, startling him. "Emily, don't-"

I climb on him, enjoying the coolness he gave off. "If you came here then you're going to give me what I want."
