Felix’s p. o. v
“Home sweet home,” I whispered softly as I packed in front of my mansion.
I lazily came out of the car and then opened the back door for her.
“We are here princess.” I said with a smile.
She hesitated but came out and stood next to me.
I shut the door behind us and walked ahead.
“Come along princess.” I said loudly for her to hear.
She quickly rushed towards me and began walking behind me.
She couldn’t help but look around as we moved. She really was predictable.
I pushed the huge door open and walked in.
The first thing I heard was Lee’s loud yelling voice.
“You are daring me to curse you and your whole generation!” He screamed furiously.
“Haha, you are so funny, I dare you to do that Mr warlock!. Before you say a damn word I will have my wolf rip you into pieces.” Jeannie’s voice came on.
I walked straight into the living room where they were and stood between them.
“Felix.” They all called happily.
“Are you guys fighting again?” I asked calmly.
“He started it!” Jeannie said loudly.
“The fuck I did!. You started this shit.” Lee spat angrily.
“Enough, I don’t care who started it or not. What I want you guys to do now is make up and call it a day before I make you.” I said simply.
Jeannie sighed softly then walked towards Lee and stood in front of him.
“I’m sorry Lee.” She said softly.
Lee smiled and pulled her in his embrace.
“I love you.” He whispered as I rolled my eyes.
“I know how you love having make-up sex, but please tone down your fights they are usually stupid and fucked up.” I spat then turned and faced Amelia who was looking at the two with interest and a smile across her face.
“Are they mates?” She asked softly, getting their attention.
“Who are you?” Lee asked after pulling back.
“She’s Ian’s mate.” I answered honestly before she could come up with some lame lie.
“What!. Alpha Ian has a mate!. How’s that even possible?. Didn’t the curse make it impossible to ….”
“Jeannie,” I called in warning.
“I’m sorry.” She answered sadly.
“Welcome, I am Lee, a warlock aged twenty-seven years old. This lady beside me is called Jeannie, she’s a twenty-five-year-old she-wolf and my mate.” He said happily.
Amelia smiled and quickly moved closer, extending her hand.
“Nice meeting you guys. My name is Amelia.” She said then dropped her hand after shaking theirs.
“Lee, inform uncle over our safe return. And you Jeannie, please make Amelia something nice to eat.” I ordered.
The two instantly walked out of the room without another word.
“As for you Amelia, please come with me.” I said then walked upstairs.
She followed me in silence while still looking around.
“This place is… what I can call a hidden family mansion. Only a few supernatural beings know about it, and those that do, keep it a secret because this is where they find refuge.” I told her softly then walked into the corridor.
“This here will be your room.” I said when I opened the fifth door on my right.
I walked in and waited for her to do the same.
When she did, I walked to the wardrobe and pulled it open.
“Feel free to use all these clothes here. Some might fit you while some might not. I bought these clothes for someone who might actually need them.” I whispered then pointed to the bed.
“The bed is yours as well as the bathroom, do as you want and see fit. If you aren’t comfortable in any way or feel bad over something, you can just call out my name. My hearing is at an amazing level.” I said seriously.
“Thank you.” She answered in a whisper.
“Okay now that you are here, take a bath and dress up, dinner will be in an hour.” I said as I walked to the door and glanced at her.
“You are safe here Amelia, so do feel at home.” I whispered then walked out of the room.
I slowly went downstairs while going through our previous conversation in the car.
I was in shock over Ian having a mate and over how Axel was willing to send her to me despite knowing how I wanted them dead.
I made a turn and went to my room.
I was fucking pissed off, yet at the same time in disbelief.
Was he taking advantage of our made promise?. Despite us fighting to our last breaths and hating each other in the past, we still had a favor we promised to fulfill no matter what. I kept mine to myself and I thought he did the same, sadly I was wrong. He was now making use of that favour I owed him and I couldn’t refuse. Refusing would not only distinguish my pride but destroy my reputation.
I was going to look after his little mate for as long as he wanted me to, then after that, our paths were never going to collide again, unless I too wanted a favor from him.
I pushed the door open and found Chase sitting calmly on my bed.
I smirked and took off my hat.
“What do you think you are doing in my room?” I asked playfully.
He adjusted his specks and slowly began to unbutton his shirt.
“You haven’t fed for days and today you went out for a drive, despite the sun being weak it was still dangerous and I’m sure it took most of your energy.” He answered softly then pulled off his shirt and dropped it to the ground.
Chase was what I called my opposite, he was a very quiet and humble man. He always had this calm expression on his face that made people complain because according to them they couldn’t distinguish whether he was happy, sad, angry, or hurt, which was weird because I could. He wasn’t that built at all and he was slightly taller than I was, he was human and his obsession was with my kind. He worked as a researcher in one of the most powerful labs. Although he was uninterested in most things, when he came across me he was completely captivated. Not that I blamed the man, most humans couldn’t resist my charms.
He asked me to let him be by my side, that way he would learn more about my kind and in exchange, I would drink his virgin blood. His offer was lame but I reluctantly agreed and aimed to dry him dead. But the taste of his blood in my mouth was unlike anything I had ever tasted.
I hated the idea of giving in to his request but I also wanted to drink his blood badly. And so I agreed. Since then he was usually with me.
In the beginning, our relationship was strictly that of strangers, food, and consumer nothing more. But as years went on I began noticing a change between us. His blood was beginning to arouse me sexually each time I took it and his groans and low moans only proved how he too felt the attraction.
To satisfy my sexual needs I began going to clubs every time I drank from him, in search of a one-night stand.
The stronger the urge grew the more I began avoiding drinking from him.
I was better off with the used blood I usually took because it had no effect on me.
There was something about him I couldn’t pinpoint. All I knew was that I wanted him far away from me. I understood that I couldn’t bring myself to fucking kick him out of my mansion no matter how hard I tried but that didn’t mean I couldn’t avoid him.
I walked to him and slightly pushed him aside.
“How many times will I tell you this Chase, I don’t need your damn blood anymore.” I answered then threw myself on the bed.
“But you can’t afford not to drink, vampires…..”
“Can drink blood from any human. And might I remind you, I am not like any regular vampire, I’m a purebred. That means I’m capable of feeding from other supernatural beings as well.” I answered then closed my eyes.
“But if you don’t drink my blood then ….” He cut his sentence short.
“If you want to live here feel free, but please stop coming into my room.” I warned seriously.
I didn’t want him close to me no matter what, I was beginning to feel messed up emotions for him I had never felt before.
