“I have mentioned the first statement, you come, you get killed.” He clicks his tongue.
“What next? Can we have a look instead?” Sophia says, and jerks the diary from his hands.
“Don’t use violence on vampires, you’ll only get hurt.”
“But you used violence on those vampires. Didn’t you?”
“They are humans and not vampires.”
“They are vampires, not humans.”
“How?” I ask Sophia.
“We will get to know that.” She replies. “How do humans mind link vampires?”
“Can we hear that, dear mate?” I roll my eyes at Ben and he starts to stutter.
“Aah…” He scratches the back of his neck. “Aah, you can’t understand.”
“Ben.” Sophia says, solidly. And she then stands up.
“I, Sophia O’Connell reject you as my mate.” She says, and spits at him.
“Sophia!” I yell at her.
“Don’t call me.” She says, and walks out, throwing the diary at Ben. It hits his forehead and he sighs.
“Tell me, what just happened?” I ask him and he frowns.
“Can’t you just mark her already?” I suggest ande he stops moving ’cause he’s stood up and started to burst out of the room.
“You think I should do that?” He kind of objects. “Look” he points at Sophia who is demonstrating madness outside the room.
“What the fuck.” I cuss, seeing her laugh and dance while no song is being played.
“This is not Sophia.” He says, and my eyes bulge out. My memories start to return into my mind and head.
“I, Sophia O’Connell, reject you as my mate.” She had said.
“I thought she was joking about being O’Connell!” I bark at Ben but he shushes me and creaks the door open. Ben suddenly shouts at her and she wanes in air. She vanishes in thin air and Ben sighs as he goes back to his room. I follow suit and I shiver, while sitting opposite him.
“Ben, you might have been hiding a lot from Sophia but I don’t think you have to hide anything from me. I will tell you whatsoever I have been kind of hiding too.” I spew out and Ben gently listens.
“I hope you get convinced as soon as possible.” I add, and he sighs. “We need to find Sophia and I have tips to do that but only if you will agree.”
“Really?”
“Yes, really.” I say, and he sits up.
“You have to sign a contract first. Live or die. You break the agreement, moon goddess herself kills you. Agree?” He splutters and i think it over in my mind. He waves at me but I tell him to wait for few minutes and he nods in agreement.
If I don’t look for Sophia now, Jude would probably get hold of her and mark her. Or Robert would if Jude didn’t. Maxwell might travel with her to another country entirely too. Dylan is dead, Isabella and my mate are both home – “the power reducer and influencer” that Jude sprayed on us to cooperate the other day should have vanished from their sights too. My mate won’t be happy with me if he discovers that I’m hindering Sophia from her real mate – which is…
“Rose” Ben taps me. “Time’s up.”
“Oh” I force a smile. “I didn’t even notice.”
“I can see that you are truly thinking it over but I promise to support you and Ill never disappoint you. Just give me those tips to get my mate, please.” He pleads, and I hug him tightly. As I do, my neck hurts a lot and I suddenly feel guilty as my heart starts to pound.
“I didn’t know that you have gotten your mate already.” Ben says.
“Yes, I have.” I touch the spot and it hurts again, I give a yell.
“Don’t worry, Rose. It’s just the attachment between you two. If you try to shift your love or hug and the other following processes needless to say, you’ll get a warning through the bite mark.”
“He has not bitten me.” I start to confess. “Is there any bite mark here, huh?” I touch the spot repeatedly and he chuckles softly.
“No. Moon goddess has glued you with him already, so this is not a bite mark but a sign to show that you have gotten a temporary mate.” He hiccups when he said the word ‘temporary.’
“Temporary, how?”
“Screw that. Give me the tips you said you gat to give.” He replies instead, and i sigh.
“Okay. Explain to me who you are.”
“I am a vampire.” He shrugs his shoulders and my legs twitch, he is lying!
“I know you are but I want more information.” I retort. “Are you an hybrid?”
“Nope. I’m not.”
“We are not hiding any secret, remember?” I tell him.
“We haven’t signed the contract yet, remember?” He bounces back with same method.
“Okay, how do we sign the contract?”
“We have to go meet the alpha of the…”
“No.” I cut in. “Let’s be open to each other or not.”
“I agree. But I’m a vampire, how do we capture Sophia?”
“You do turn superhumans into their clones. You did that while trying to save yourself, and that was when the saviour of Sophia appeared, right?” I pause and notice him glaring at me. “The fact that you can make wolves and vampires into their clones and the fact that the three men that you killed told you that a sign has changed show that you have a wizard trait in you.”
He moves back a bit, and gulps down saliva forming in his lips.
“If I should relate this with my clone that does pursue Sophia and claim her as her mate, it shows that you have split me into two as well.” I shrug my shoulders. “Sophia disappeared, that shows you have split her into two as well.”
“Her saviour appeared…”
“It’s alright.” He cuts in. “You are right.”
“Yours go next.” He adds.
“Okay! I’m an hybrid of both wolf and vampires, I can change to any form any time.”
“That’s all?”
“Yes.”
“Okay. To continue your rants, I am the Alpha of the SplitMoon pack.” He says and as my lips go round in view of screaming, he shuts it with his hands.
“You have been in this pack earlier. That was when you were at a very young age.” He speaks on. “Isabella was meant to be my mate but she fled because she discovered that I am a vampire.”
“What…” My lips muffle still.
“While escaping, she was saved by a mere wolf who i later heard that she got mated to him, and I think the wolf is an Alpha of a pack.” I free my lips from his hands, and speak out.
“What relationship do you have with Jude?”
“Jude!” He rises to his feet. “Jude! Jude was the former Beta of the SPLITMOON pack but he claimed to take my position as an Alpha if I take long.”
“If you take long, how?”
“My sole aim is to track Isabella down..” he rolls his eyes at the nook and crannies of the room.
“… not to take her as my mate but to get my real and young mate from her wet arena.”
“Wet arena?” I ask. “I don’t understand?”
“What she produced for Dylan is my rightful mate.”
“How did you know the name?”
“I got the message from your mind.”
“And that’s Sophia.” He says, almost immediately. Before I can mutter a word.
