CURSED

chapter 18/19

👹🖤 CURSED 🖤👹

The door bust opened and Tasha stepped in looking worried. Her eyes fell on Gianna whose gaze were on hers. Her gaze made guilt wash over Tasha.

Maybe she should have just do something earlier,just anything..Gianna wouldn't have ended up here if she had tried stopping Sonia.

The guilt burn into her heart leaving just a strand of ashes behind.

" Ana," She called,her voice low,soft,covered in guilt. But Gianna gaze still remain unfazed,that look of emptiness,a look of disdain...Tasha look down sadly.

Her best friend was mad at her,well she deserves it.

"Tasha" Gianna faint voice cut through her sad thoughts. She snap her gaze up,meeting with Gianna's who was now surprisingly having a smile on,a smile Tasha couldn't see through due to her love for her best friend.

"Don't just stand there,come over" Gianna ushered. Tasha smile and without hesitation,she rushed to her,cupping Gianna's plastered cheeks,a tear fell of her eyes. "Am sorry Ana,it all my fault. Am such a bad friend,please forgive me" She pleaded. Gianna took her hands,rubbing them. Her eyes pined on Tasha's face,smile fading at every opportunity it get. With the softest voice ever,she cooed," It not your fault,Tasha. It mine,i caused it. Lets forget about this whole thing,okay"

A smile spread through Tasha's lips,now this was her best friend. The girl with the warmest heart,the one who have been there for her right from high-schools days,that one friend whose present stirred her.

"Thank you Gianna,thank you" Tasha voice was sincere. Gianna simply nodded but after a rethink,she said, "Make it up to me by watching the stars with me tomorrow"

Just that? Sure Tasha would give her the world if she asked.

But she was worried,Gianna haven't healed yet,she can't live the hospital. Like Gianna read through her mind,she mutter, convincingly. "Am fine now Tasha,you don't have to worry about me,it just a minor bruise."

" Okay,tomorrow it is" Tasha blew air kisses at her.

" Yeah" Gianna nodded.

At the door stood Veda,she was having a frowning face on.

7PM, THE O'CONNELL'S MANSION*

Tasha sat on her bed,she curled up like a kid with her teddy trapped on her chest. It been two freaking days and he never showed up.

Why?

Was it because she asked him to stay away from him? If that the case then why the hell did he saved her from the rain. Didn't he say she was his mate,or he wasn't serious with the love stuff.

Arh! Tasha,the hell is wrong with you?

"Thinking about some sort of vampire,you must be insane" She groan.

She pick up her phone and there it was,a message from an unknown source.

MEET ME AT 8PM TONIGHT AT THE SCHOOL POOL.

Tasha didn't know why she suspected it to be him. It could be anyone right?

Checking the time,she gasped.

It 7 already,why didn't she read the message earlier.

" I still need to go out with Gianna tomorrow,i need to be back early" She mumble and started finding a simple dress to wear.

SCHOOL POOL*

Arriving at the pool,Tasha stood stunned by the sight in front of her. The place was decorated with different color light,flowers sprinkled on the floor in a well definite order. Red candles stood at each side,leading way to the small mat placed beside the pool. The mat contains a bouquet,fruit basket and a wine.

Tasha couldn't believe her eyes.

Who ever did this is not Zarus. He wouldn't do such petty thing right?

She breath out as if force to do so,her hands gripping the edge of her yellow gown.

Okay,maybe she should have wore something more unique,like a princess dress.

Not like she'd any idea this was gonna happen.

But where was her messenger.

Her eyes scan around but she saw no one until his chilling present appeared behind her.

For an unknown reason,her eyes glint with excitement. She spin behind her,meeting his were chiseled feature.

Deep black hair falling on his head like it was commanded to,his black eyes sparkling under the adorable moon light,just long curve face having this lips of fire plaster on it,a thick eye lash which goes up when he raise a brow,slow and warmth moves. His pointed nose nudged to his beautiful face.

And now,he wore loosen sleeves,one that didn't hug his body,light red fabric used to make it,a long red trouser and the matching red sleeve. His perfection was on another level.

But how come she didn't notice how handsome he was,maybe it was because of how mysterious he was then.

"Are you done staring?" His thick,masculine voice which sounded like a sweet melody escaped into her hearing organ and this cause her to smile.

Why? She doesn't know.

Lazarus brows were raised in utter confusion. Why was she admiring him in such a way,why the hell was she the one here? The smile,that pretty smile he has never seen on her. Just how close her face is to his,he finally get to see that dim emerald blue seas eyes,illuminating right on his face as he process it. Her round face,too round with a rounded beauty covering it,her lips..gawd!

Pink,too pinkish and tempting.

The smile on her face made his heart beat in a smooth race,and for the first time he forgot about everything..everyone and focus only on her_his mate.

She was the only thing in his mind right now,he was sure her pretty face will haunt him in a beautiful nightmare.

"You_did..all this?" Her pleasant voice cut into his head,Sharp and rhythmic.

But wait..did all what?

He'd received a text from an unknown number asking him to come here,never did he expect to see Tasha,like Tasha, his annoying mate.

Hope she's not thinking he did all this..why the f**k will he even do this.

" It pretty" She commented,still smiling and staring at his face.

" Wh__what?" He ask looking confused.

She shifted away slowly and turn her gaze back to the environment.

" You should have tell me,i would have wore something more pleasing" She said,her lower lip tuck into her mouth,hands fidgeting for no extra reason.

Lazarus eyes scan the place,a deep frown settled on his lips and he blurted,"I didn't do this"

" Not like i will laugh at you,it really pretty you know. Sometimes we should let our ego down." She said not taking his words serious.

Lazarus held her wrist,spinning her to face him again. "You think i did this shitty thing?,cmon,i got a damn message to come here" He said hating the fact that she thinks he did all this.

He is a king not a lover boy.

Tasha stare at him,seeing he wasn't joking,she brought out her phone and open the message to him. "You didn't send this?" She showed him.

Lazarus brought out his phone,showing her same message. Her eyes widen.

Someone sent both of them same messages,what the motive of all this?

But a glint of disappointment flash through her eyes. So all this weren't prepared by him.

"Since it..gawd,why am i even here. I will leave first." She said and slowly turn away to leave when his voice broke out,spitting the words she badly want to hear. "Since we both got same messages it simply means we are expected to be here together. Why..don't you stay for a while?" Lazarus said,seeing her sad look torn his heart and he needed to do just anything to make her happy.

Tasha happily ran to him.

"Then lets go over there" She smile and ran towards the mat,sitting down,she place her hands down,throwing her head backward,eyes shut,the cool breeze were burying chilled spot on her skin.

Lazarus stood,couldn't move,just stare at his mate..looking happy like this was the most excited thing in this world.

Isn't this a date?

He'd read something like this on a book,but he didn't want to go through this process,it childish to him. He'd prefer dinning together in a well fancy restaurant,but will that make her this happy?

Who ever did this needs to die in his claws,why is she so happy on the hand work of another man. Or could he be mistaken,maybe she's happy because he is here with her.

Naw,she despises him.

"Come over,Zarus" She called using her hands to wave at him. His body froze.

She's calling him over with a smile. His name came out from her mouth,it sounded so freaking good!

Without hesitation,Lazarus walk to her,his step not slow neither was it fast. Just in a perfect casual walk.

Getting right beside her,he sat.

" It pretty,isn't it?" She face him.

" Yeah" He could only mumble.

She nod and look back at the sky.

"I don't know,but i feel weird" She said after a long silent,he looked at her. "Why?" He ask.

"I dunno." She mutter,he nod.

How he is short of words is still a mystery to him.

"You know what,i feel guilty. Sonia,my sister beat up Gianna earlier today,and all i could do was stand and watch. Even after everything,Gianna didn't blame me,she's so nice that i feel guilty. Not only because of what happened,but i didn't tell her about us,your identity,you know,she likes you so much,i would have just tell her," Tasha said,her eyes lowering in sadness.

But that didn't prevent him from asking the question that suddenly struck him.

" 'Us,is there us?"

Tasha look at him. "I mean,me knowing you since long" She said,he nodded looking away..kinda disappointed.

What was he expecting,were there 'they' to begin with.

"So,did she tell you about what we did?" He ask casting a glance at her.

"What do you mean?" She stare.

Lazarus frown. Here she was feeling guilty of not telling that b***h about them but did that b***h tell Tasha what they did?

Thinking of it,That day Tasha passed out under the rain,Gianna was with him,enjoying the pleasure he gives her. So she abandoned her best friend just to be f****d huh?

Lazarus stare at Tasha,"The rate of your stupidity better don't increased" He said,rudely.

" What do you mean by that?" She frown.

"Forget" He said,picking up an apple;he stretch it at her. Her frowning face switch into tomato painted.

" Thanks" She shyly took it and bite on it,chewing it in a way Zarus described as 'Sexy'

He watch her eat with full attention like she was an interesting show being played. Well maybe she is; cause every bite she took make his heart race,just like watching a suspense movie.

"Tasha O'Connell" He blurted out her name,she look at him at once,the second time he be calling her name especially in full.

" Ye_" he didn't let her complete her words before crashing his lips on her.

He just couldn't hold the f*****g urge inside,he needed her lips if he want to survive tonight.

The apple on Tasha's hands slowly fell,her hands hurriedly rap around his neck.

The first time he kissed her wasn't this deep but she felt the softness,the sweetness,if not Gianna being there that day,she'd never pushed him away.

Lazarus tongue f**k her mouth so brutal,his hands were dancing at her back as he caress it like his world depends on it,his lips nibbling on hers,eating her up like she was the sweetest dinner on earth.

Why is she so sweet..just why does her lips taste like a rusted chestnut.

Damn,his body was vibrating,he could feel his hardness surfacing. He kissed her so deeply not leaving space for breath,slowly he used his hands to rest her down,feeling her back on the mat,Tasha eyes flew open some how but they remotely closed back.

She couldn't breath but who cares. Breathing doesn't matter right now,all that matter is the strawberry she was definitely eating right now,the sweetest part of it.

She shiver lightly when she felt his cold hands going under her gown.

Oh s**t! Just what was this vampire doing to her? Why does she wish it never ends.

But however it ends,just when his hands reached her V line,her legs were shaking,hot waters were dripping from her V,she could feel it. The tension,heat..all was too sudden that she fear she might run mad.

She clung her legs together,disrupting his movement. His eyes open,those eyes craving pleasure,she shouldn't dare try to stop him now. Not after erecting him so hard,swears he has never felt this way,not with his previous mates. This feelings was on the edge,gawd knows he want to spread her legs apart right now,f**k her p***y with his tongue,how sweet that will be. But she doesn't seems to want that,he frown,slowly breaking from the kiss. He watch her panic,gasped for breath,her lips watering in saliva,too pinkish and swollen.

The way she crave breath made him want to kiss her more,kiss the air away,she has no right to crave breath,she should crave him..him..and just fuckin him.

Looking at his eyes,Tasha met his questioning gaze. He wants her,the whole of her,she saw those in his eyes. But she can't,having s*x with him,isn't that wrong? They are not dating,she was sure he doesn't even like her,what if he just wanted to get under her skirt and then dumped her. She'd witness Gianna dumped her ex,the pains and sadness in their eyes were something she didn't want to feel. Losing her virginity to someone she doesn't know much about is totally wrong.

" It..it...getting late,we..should go back" She stutter,his cold gaze were sending fears to her. He was clearly mad at her for disrupting the moment.

"Why?" His tone wasn't smooth.

She gulp not finding the right words to say.

"Do you have any idea that you are my mate? Sooner or later we will...." Lazarus bite his lip stopping himself from spitting out rubbish.

They will what? Hope he didn't plan on saying marry.

"Fine" He stood up,tilt his head and started to leave. Tasha stare at his retreating figure with sad gaze.

Why didn't he understand her. Oh he is not human so he doesn't know what keeping virginity for your MR right means.

He was almost out of sight,when that blur memories slap his face again and like a hurricane,it spin him into that house,that same place painted white,a man wearing a doctor robe standing there,Zarus couldn't see the face because the man was backing him. But he clearly saw the fangs and claws of vampires,just who the hell was this man and why are there fangs and claws there.

This is the third time and all were in the present of Tasha.

Unknown to Zarus,he has pass out in life here.

Tasha ran to him,shocked and confusion hugging her,just how the hell did he ended up falling and even pass out. This was the second time she'd witnessed this.

What going on?

At the far end of the pool side, stood; Viktor and Hilda. They've been watching them all along since they organized everything.

" What happened to him?" Hilda ask looking confused.

" You go back,i will go help her" Viktor said and ran towards her.

"Zarus,wake up please" She cried.

"Let me" Viktor pull him up and headed for his own car,Tasha followed,her and Zarus car was left behind.

Viktor ignited the car engine and drove straight to the hospital..Tasha was shivering,praying for Zarus to wake up and stop this naughty prank.

Fine,she will give in to him,she is willing to do it now,he should just wake up.

Whatever was wrong with her right now,she didn't care to know. Zarus just need to wake up,that's all.

Unknown to her,there was a golden dim light that spark on the corner of her chest,just at her heart region. She felt a stink,..pain...pain she couldn't pin point,she just rub the spot lightly,her gaze focused on Lazarus whose head was on her lap.

HARRISON'S APARTMENT*

" Finally" Hazel yawn with a boring look at the TV.

Harry was sitting beside her.

He knows how much she hates vampires movie and putting it annoys her,just what he want. She annoyed him already,he lost money that is spent for feeding and now this the little punishment he could give her.

"Can i watch my show now?" She tilt her heard towards him.

" No,still have one more to watch. You should go to bed,you have school tomorrow" He said not even looking her away.

She groan.

" Are you still mad at me for real?" She said.

Harry didn't reply.

She moved closer,her face drew near his. "Cmon say something" She said with a pout,he finally tilt his head to look at her but she was too close that their lips brushed. Both froze,eyes staring wide at each other.

It was a mistake. They got it but...

"Am sorry" Harry apologize like he did something terrible.

Hazel nodded like a control bot.

"You..you can watch your show now,i..i..will go to bed." Harry stammer and hurriedly left the sitting room. Hazel faced the TV,hands gagged her mouth and like a possessed being..she smile..creepily.

Oh poor,Harry,haven't they done more than this before..he sure doesn't remember. That night he came back drunk,she was just thirteen by then,Harry was a bad drinker,returning back he came to her room just when she step out from the bathroom. Hazel was scared that something happened to him,so she'd hurriedly ran to him ,but his action shocked her. He grab her waist falling on the bed and drunkenly said"I want to kiss you"

Hazel thought he didn't mean it but not until he slam his lips on her,kissing her so deeply. She'd enjoyed it and wish it happened again,but was also glad he never remembered.

THE RODRIGUEZ VILLA,MADDIE'S ROOM*

Maddie has just finished taking her bath,she step out of the bathroom with a white towel rap around her chest. She looks moody as always until her eyes fell on the figure laying on her bed.

" You..you again!" She snapped at once.

"Come over" D'Arcy said like he didn't hear what she said.

"Get out! Get out!" She shouted in rage.

He stare,eyes cold,unreadable expression.

"Get..." She was saying when she felt her back crash on the wall,pains jumped over her,she fell down groaning,a little blood stained her corner lip. Her heart beating in fear,towel loosen showing just her stalked figure.

Her eyes immediately started watering. In speed,D'Arcy was right in front if her,he pull her up,pinning her on the wall with his claws hand pinning her neck on the wall.

"When i say come over,you fuckin come over!" He snapped with a beastly growl. His eyes flash red,his body reacting to her naked body.

Her breast were pointing dangerously at him,pinkish n*****s giving a warning symbol.

Shit! He hate the way he craved her,he hate it!

The only one he wish to get attracted to is Canossa,not some lazy and arrogant human girl who copy the life of others just to survive. She will be a disgrace to his lineage for sure.

"Please..don't kill me" He watch her plead,tears streaming down her cheeks,fear sadness hit his chest like he got stabbed.

The mate bond,now he could feel her stupid feelings. She ought to be scared of him,obey him..why should he feel sad about it.

He let go off her neck that has red lines already,his hands strictly grab her breast..so soft..too soft!

Without warning he shove it right into his throat,her n*****s feeling good inside of him. Maddie eyes went shut,a strange sensation wash over her,and a soft moan escape her throat.

That moan that made him crave more,he carried her second breast inserting the two into his mouth like a beast.

Oh heaven! Why does it taste too good,too sweet!

Maddie didn't know when her hands rap around his neck,pulling him closer.

D'Arcy hands rubbed her stomach,going in a smooth pace,the next thing Maddie felt was her back on the soft bed.

They were on the bed already,him on top.

He let go of her breast which was pleading to be suck more,his lips moved to that strand on blood at the corner of her lips and then he lick it off before capturing her lips into his. Kissing her like his life depends on it,it felt so good than other days.

He hate thinking she's the best thing right now.

Maddie didn't know what was going on,the world must have ended cause she found herself in a new world,a world where only sweet pleasures exist but a pain soon mixed this pleasure and she let out a soft moan..a winch. "Arhhsh!" Her eyes flew open and holy 4uck! He was down dare,his lips eating her,sucking off her juice..her body shook violently.
