Bloodlines

Chapter 1

A warm mouth crashed against mine. I didn’t hesitate to kiss him back and taste him. Ragged breaths left my throat. I curled my fingers around his hair and tugged on them harder as he buried his cock deeper inside me. My eyes rolled back as my belly muscles tensed underneath him and tightened, seeking for a release.

“Oh, fuck, I can’t.” I shook my head, crying as a breathy moan escaped my throat. My lips parted from his and I sank my nails into his shoulders as my insides clamped around his thickness and I orgasmed for the secondth time. “I’m going to die, Knox.” Every muscle in my body strained and I finished over his cock.

He drew out his length and drove back inside me, my juices slammed against his skin, creating wet noises in the silence. He filled me up once more while his hand wrapped around my throat.

“I’d love for you to die for me.” He grinned before sliding back a little and grabbing the back of my leg. Parting my legs further, he pushed himself deeper and I choked out a cry while fisting the sheets underneath me.

“Fuck, fuck…” My eyes burned.

My clit throbbed and my pussy convulsed, climaxing over and over again, coating him with my juices. He started to fuck me again without any mercy, like a wild animal, a fucking werewolf.

Sweat dripped from his head and he placed a hand on my lower belly, applying just enough pressure for insides to shatter once more. His strokes became quicker and rougher.

I moaned loud, enjoying every second of it. Screams left my throat like never and filled up the silence in the estate.

When he leaned inward, I wrapped my arms around his arm and pulled him closer to myself. “Finish with me, Knox.” I pleaded, unable to hold his wrath inside me for another moment longer.

He growled underneath my ear before tracing his sharp claws over my shoulders. I panted out quick breaths as my hips bounced back and forth under him. My sore cunt reached another shattering orgasm, taking the rest of my energy away from me, leaving me with nothing.

He drained every ounce of me.

“Fuck, baby. I can’t hold it anymore. Fuck. I’m going to finish inside your cunt.” He clenched his jaw and gritted his teeth before unloading his thick cum inside me.

For a few seconds, it was warm and fulfilling until he pulled out his cock and fell on the bed beside me while heaving in heavy breaths and gaining control of himself.

I placed my hand over his sweaty cheeks and smiled, “I love you.”

His eyes clicked to mine and he whispered in return, “I love you too and forever.” When he said forever, something flared in his eyes but quickly disappeared before I could understand it. “I didn’t want to finish.” After taking in a couple more breaths, he looked at me and said.

A small laughter choked out of me before I rose up and laid over him, “I’m going to die if you keep fucking me after every hour and not offer me any blood of your own.”

He pouted and stretched his arm, offering his wrist to me immediately, “It’s all yours.”

I quickly shook my head, “No. I’ve drained you enough today.” Leaning in, I gave him a little peck as his chest rose and dropped. “Maybe tomorrow.”

I cherished the few intimate minutes we spent with each other every morning before we hit the shower. As soon as Knox left the bedroom, he’d be a whole different person, someone I wouldn’t even recognize.

With me, in my arms, he was vulnerable and weak but in front of others, he was a monster with uncontrollable anger issues. He snapped more often now.

Since…

“I should run some hot water.” I lifted myself up from the bed, but he grabbed my elbow and dragged me down.

“Stay here, in front of me, for a few more minutes.” He ordered, forcing me over his chest and placing a tight hold over my body that I could barely move an inch.

A shaky breath escaped me. I pressed my eyes shut, forgetting those thoughts that appeared in my head out of nowhere. It wasn’t the time to mourn or even think about it.

I loved Knox.

It was enough.

Or was it?

Minutes ticked by, as soon as he released me from his hold, I went to the bathroom and began showering. Knox joined me moments later. Sunlight glimmered from the blurred windows and onto his muscular body. My mouth watered as I trailed my gaze over his perfect abs and his strong, hefty arms.

“The council is coming today.” He whispered in my ears while his mouth was against my throat, sniffing my scent even though I, a vampire, didn’t have a scent.

After a long time I realized I had a scent and only my mates could smell it. All this while Knox sniffed me for a reason, he found peace and solace in my scent.

“It’s okay. You got this.” I placed my hand over his back. “You have the power to turn over the council, right?” I wondered.

“That’s not how it works.” He shook his head, straying away from becoming the cruel one. “I’ll just have to figure something out for the time being. Obviously they aren’t able to remove me from my position in this pack.” He leaned back and cupped my face, “You’ll be alright alone?” He asked, his eyes filled with concern.

“Of course. I’ve to call Natalie anyway. She’s been trying to reach me since the past couple days but I couldn’t find the energy to talk to her.” I responded, my eyes lowered to the wet ground where warm water flowed.

“Talk to her. We need to know what your family is planning as well.”

I nodded and agreed with him.

After the shower, we both changed our clothes and before Knox left the room, he glanced over his shoulders and gave me a warning, “Don’t feed on anyone until I’m back, baby.”

I smiled hard before dropping over the bed, “I promise I won’t.”

“Good girl.”

Good girl. I closed my eyes and brushed away the second voice that appeared in my head. Knox slammed the door behind. Soon, his footsteps disappeared into the silence and the hallways outside became clear.

I clutched my phone and for the next few minutes I struggled with dialing Natalie’s number. I hadn’t been in contact with her or my parents for a while now. Since… We did message each other and I promised her I’d call her soon.

Now, I needed to.

It took her a few rings before she picked up the call and said, “Hey. I’ve been waiting for long. Are you okay?”

I nodded, “Yes. I am—I think so. What’s happening? How is Dad and Mom?” I pressed my fingers underneath my chin while wondering about them.

“They are doing well. You, you didn’t call me much, Candice. I was worried about you and stuff is happening here. I had to literally sneak into my room to attend your call.” Her heavy breaths could be heard through the phone.

“What stuff?” I asked her.

“I told you before, I don’t know. They are keeping out of it since Grandpa is here. He barely let’s me hear anything. I’m going crazy here and I’m worried sick about. I fear our parents aren’t we imagine them to be.”

“Yeah…” I trailed off, remembering someone’s exact words. “But, Nat, I need you to get close and listen to whatever they are talking about. Something is cooking. Do you think they are going to come here and take me away?”

“Yes, of course, Candice!” She exclaimed in horror. Fuck. “It’s killing them—that you’re there, among werewolves, living among them and getting marked.”

I swallowed hard and tried to forget about the mark on my neck. The mark Cain had given me. A mark of betrayal and nothing more.

“They are just waiting for information. The attacks have stopped, I’m not sure if entirely but they have. Once flying and transport is clear, they’ll be on their way to Thornwood and I fear what they might do to you.” She explained.

“It’s fine, Nat. They can’t do anything worse than what has already happened.”
