Chapter 54: Ultimatum
Maddie.
A year ago.
"Are you guys really dating?" Caitlin asks.
It’s still a shock to . The night he asked
to be his girlfriend was the best night of my ever so dry life. I knew I was going to get him to be mine but I didn’t think it would happen as fast as it did. This was all part of the plan but I didn’t think I would succeed so easily.
Alanis is such a gullible person; I still can’t believe he hasn’t seen right through . He thinks this thing between us is real—yeah, I think he is a great guy and I genuinely want to get to know him more than I do now, it is nothing personal, I am sure we would have hit it off either way.
"Yes,"
Caitlin screams and I place both hands on my ears in an attempt to cover her loud cry "How did that happen? You’ve been obsessed with him for a while now."
Yeah, I have been obsessed.
She got that right.
"We’ve kinda been seeing each other for a while now. I guess I wore him out and he just said fuck it."
Caitlin chuckles "So is being with him everything everyone says it is?"
I smile, mories of all our tis together flooding in "Yes, it is." Alanis is a very passionate person, so being with him is very intense.
"I am so jealous," she hits
playfully.
We are in the cafeteria and I notice when he cos in, he is with his sister, I can’t really rember her na. His eyes roam around and my heart beats within the confinent of my chest. I am wondering if he will co over to
or sit with his family. He smiles when he sets his eyes on . I can see it in his eyes, things are different between us. Before it was just sex, now that we have established more, he is different. It’s in his eyes, the wanting, the excitent and I am loving every minute of it.
He moves closer and whispers into her ears, she frowns and walks over to her seat. Alanis walks over in my direction with his tray gripped tightly. He is still smiling as he stops in front of
"Is this seat taken?" he points to an empty seat next to .
Caitlin squeals and I roll my eyes at her reaction. "No," I answer him.
He sits down on the empty chair and my heart beats like crazy. He is taking a step further with . Ever since we started this, we have been doing everything in secret. Now he is open about everything with . I like it; I like it so much.
"Hi." he leans forward and kisses
softly.
Is this what it feels like to have a significant other, soone you can rely on? I don’t want to ever give this up. This will be my new normal. I want things between us to work.
I dive into the kiss and he welcos
by wrapping his arms around my waist. "Do you want to co over after school?" I ask him.
Sohow it has beco a ritual, him coming over but now the only thing different is him spending the night. My parents know about him, they have t him a couple of tis and they have made their opinion open—they hate him. I am not even thinking about them in my decision to be with him. It is not about them; this is bigger than what they think.
This is my chance.
After the breakup.
Power.
I suddenly know what it feels like to have the power that I have desperately craved all my life. Lying down next to my saviour, I reach for him and plant a kiss on his right temple. He grabs
by my waist and pulls
closer. We are both naked, from earlier. I haven’t bothered with clothes; I feel more comfortable with this man than I ever have with anyone and I don’t even know his na. He is being very secretive but it just makes this all the more exciting.
I haven’t explored my abilities. I don’t know what suddenly makes
special but I have a feeling he will show
everything I need to know. It feels like he has made a claim on .
"How do you feel?" he grabs
and places
on top of his roughly. There is nothing gentle about this man and it is exhilarating.
"I feel like I am on top of the world," I grab him by his neck and he welcos
by slipping his tongue into my mouth for a wet kiss. I moan out from the pleasure that I get from just a kiss. Everything with him is a hundred tis more intense than with Alanis. Suddenly I am not thinking about him and the heartbreak he smashed
with. I am glad he left ; I doubt he would have ever turned
if I stayed with him. The fact that I waited for a whole year and didn’t get anything from him is what hurts the most.
Mystery man’s tongue swirls in the depth of my mouth and I smile excitedly for what is to co. There is so much energy within
and I want it to burst out already "You will feel a lot better after we’re done," he smirks in between kisses.
A smile plays out because this is a challenge and challenge accepted.
*************
"You said I had to do sothing for you," I remind him of his ultimatum.
A smile crawls on his face, he is glad that I rembered. "I need Alanis." he goes straight to the point and this confuses . I didn’t even know he knew Alanis. I an I figured all the vampires in town would know each other. I didn’t expect him to though.
Frankly, I have never seen him around town before, so my assumption was he is just a passer-by.
"How do you know Alanis?"
"I don’t know him but I know that he is mixing with the wolves," he says it so casually.
Wolves?
"What do you an by wolves?" I ask because things are getting a lot more unbelievable.
"Werewolves."
"You can’t be serious."
He laughs "You believed in vampires, what’s the difference?"
I sit up on the bed to process all this in, it is a lot. Finding out vampires aren’t the only mystical creatures.
"What does Alanis have to do with werewolves," I rember the starter of our conversation. Alanis ntioned there was soone else, that is why he broke it off with . Could that soone else actually be a werewolf?
"He is the doorway to the wolves. I need him to get to them?"
I furrow my brows in confusion "What do you need from the wolves?" I have so many questions for him. Suddenly werewolves are real and he wants sothing from them. This all seems like a lot to handle.
"You don’t have to concern yourself with that. I just need to get Alanis and you are going to help ," it is not a request, the demand in his tone is firm and authoritative. He is not asking ; he is telling
and I don’t think I have a choice in this matter.
"How do I get him?"
He pulls
closer "He just needs to think you are hurt."
I laugh "I don’t think he cares anymore."
"He still cares about you; Alanis would’ve never called things off with you if not for the mutt. He had no choice."
I am still confused but I still hate Alanis and I am indebted to, shit. I realize I still don’t know his na. What do I even call him?
"What’s your na?"
He smiles warmly and I am still in his arms "Thought you’d never ask. You can call
Cass, short for Cassius."
Cassius.
Even his na is sexy.
"So, what do I have to do?" I ask him because the mont I agreed to drink his blood, I knew I would do anything for him. This man in front of
is my hero. I forever want to be by his side, no matter what he wants
to do. He lets go of
and stands up from the bed, his butt cheeks are bare—even his butt cheeks are sexy. I stand up and he grins as I walk into his arms. In just a day I have ford a bond with this man that the whole year I spent with Alanis. The fact that he wasted my ti makes
so angry and I don’t even feel remorse for anything Cass will have
do.
"Do you explore your strengths?" he asks
with a smirk.
I nod eagerly and he chuckles "Get dressed."
I run to my clothes already excited.
Things just got so fun.
