Rivalry for the mate

Stalkers and vampires

Chapter 2

Sensing her stalker nearby, she clutched her pepper spray canister tightly. Perhaps because she was hyper-vigilant , she had a heightened awareness of her surroundings.

Feigning ignorance of his presence, she approached the Recycling bin and started sorting through her waste. She just needed the stalker to come closer, clos..er, close... er and.... now.

With a quick turn, she sprayed directly into the assailant's face as he .. no scratch that... she screamed falling immediately to her knees rubbing her eyes.

"I might not know Karate nor Taekwondo but I have a pepper spray and a taser and I'm not afraid to use it, So back off! " Lyra warned with a feral growl positioning her body in an attacking stance.

"What the f*ck was that for? " Her stalker cursed furiously rubbing her eyes.

"Because you were obviously stalking me and I had to protect myself " She defended scrupulously.

"I wasn't stalking you, I was following you because I wanted to be friends with you " The stalker spat leaving Lyra dumbfounded.

Lyra blinked dazzled, did she just jump to conclusion without being certain of the whole thing.

"Why would you want to be friends with me?" She asked cautiously. "You don't even know me"

Lyra refused to believe she was wrong. she's certain that someone definitely was watching her in hiding but now...

"You moron, this is little Town. In little Town everyone knows one other so it's a custom to welcome a newcomer and I'm the one sent to do that " She explained staggering to her feet it was obvious she was having a hard time with her sight.

Lyra heaved feeling guilty already, no wonder they haven't seen anyone since arriving their house. Everyone was in some sort of secret meeting preparing to welcome them. This was definitely a strange town, she wondered if her mom knows about this .

"I'm sorry for spraying you "Lyra apologized at last

"Apology accepted " She replied flashing a toothy grin even though her appearance was scary. She was kinda sporting a snotty nose, reddish and swollen eyes with partially dishevelled hair.

"I'm Lyra "

"Ella "

" Come-on, let me help you to my place, my mom should have something to relieve that"

Lyra told her, taking Ella by the hand and bringing her to her place unknown of the curious eyes still staring at her from the shadow.

Dim light. Moving figures on the bed. Moans. Grunts.

That's the first thing to notice upon stumbling such an erotic scene

"Ah .. yes...! " The blonde haired girl who was currently riding on his c*ck and basking in ecstasy screamed throwing her head back.

She let out a gasp when she suddenly found herself below but chuckled afterwards grinding her hips against his.

"Do it now, Jasper " She smiled seductively.

"My pleasure,milady " Jasper replied with a mischievous sparkle in his eyes as he suddenly bent and kissed her. She met with his lips halfway as they both formed their own slow dance with their tongues.

Giving her no hint at all, he thrust into her as she gasped, her hand digging into his shoulder but slowly released a moan.

"Yes, that's it "

As if crazed, he started pounding into her furiously making her whimper but from pleasure. She clung to him tighter with her legs wrapped around him , she suddenly cried out about to reach orgasm.

Jasper knew she was about to reach and smiled wickedly, he had another plan in mind. Immediately , his canine extended into fangs as he bit down into her neck piercing her skin and drinking from her .

She screamed from the pain but it disappeared as soon as it came cause intense pleasure plunged her. She screamed hysterically, her nails digging into his skin drawing blood as she met her release alongside him. Spent and satisfied, he sagged against her.

"That was awesome " She said , her hands running over his sculpted and firm back enticingly.

God! the guy was awesome , there was no way she was giving up on him notwithstanding what he is.

"Let's go again,we could try another position" She bit on his earlobe before whispering

" I know of a certain position that could drive us crazy and I'm sure you're gonna love it"

She said blowing air into his ears enticingly but unknown to her, the man was completely immune to her tactics

"Go to bed " He said firmly getting off the bed as she stood after him naked not minding decency at all.

"But.... "

"Now !" He yelled, his mesmerizing furious green eyes meeting her's . As if under some spell, she climbed back to the bed quietly and tugged the duvet over her shoulder. Seconds later, she was sound asleep.

Jasper sighed, then picked up his clothes that was scattered here and there putting them on. Leaving the bedroom, he went into his study to meet his uninvited guests.

" Wow" Felix whistled "That was an intense banging !." He exclaimed as soon as Jasper came in .

Jasper looked up and flashed him a deadly glare

"I didn't look " He raised his hand in surrender "Cross my heart "

"As if you have a heart "The other uninvited guest sitting on the edge of Jasper's desk taunted.

"Seriously, you suck bro .Do you have to remind me that everyday " Felix sulked, a downcast expression on his face.

There was a long silence, everyone immersed in their own world. If there was a human watching this scene at the moment, the person would definitely suffer from nose bleed.

The men were so breathtakingly handsome that one could die fulfilled after viewing such a scene most especially Jasper.

The guy had a compelling yet repelling aura at the same time. The guy was like some exotic flower that could be watched only but not touched.

He had a smooth flawless chalky skin alongside a headful of rich chocolate hair that felt like silk. His brows strongly arched and eyelashes so thick it could be illegal. His lips was pink and thin but what was more alluring about him was his eyes, very deep and hypnotizing green eyes that looked like it could see through one's soul.

Felix and Fred had same chalky skin but their beauty fell in comparison to Jasper's but each had their own distinct Auras .

Felix had more of a gentle, ebullient, juvenile, and positive vibe while Fred has a calm, calculative , mysterious but kind aura but Jasper could be described with just a term - bipolarish.

Unstable as the waves of the sea, he was unpredictable. One couldn't guess his intentions, his fluctuating moods made him so dangerous not to talk of his abilities.

".Why are you both here? " He asked gesturing at the both of them after the long silence.

"I caught him snooping around someone's house with his shadow " Fred explained giving Felix a playful kick at the butt

"Hey" Felix retorted "That wasn't snooping, I was just observing "

" Yeah, observing with your creepy ability " Fred mocked and Jasper whose mood was sour a while ago laughed vexing Gideon.

Felix had the shadow ability which was the ability to shape, use and manipulate darkness but so far his ability has done more harm than good to his reputation. He's known as the 'pervert ' vampire due to an unfortunate accident eons ago.

"It's strange, why are you snooping around someone's house? " Jasper asked brow raised, evidence of the earlier smile erased without a trace.

"They moved in today " He replied

"So? "

"I just wanted to..... "

"Pervert " Jasper called this time earning a chortle from Fred.

Felix went red, why won't anyone believe he wasn't a pervert .

"The locals are organizing the ritual for them tomorrow " Felix finally dropped the bomb.

Upon hearing that, the corner of Jasper's mouth quirked while his brow furrowed. He clutched his fist, the witches were at it again

There was a displeased expression on Jasper's face which the others noticed at once. The both knew what the ritual signified eventhough the ignorant humans viewed it as just a plausible excuse to organize a party. It was a whole lot more than that .

Once the "acceptance " ritual was performed on a certain person, he or she was now immune to the vampires hypnosis. In one word, the vampires couldn't just go around taking people's blood else the council would find out unless the individual in question permits them, which the probability of that occurring is 1 out of 100.

So how are they surviving?

Animal blood and some other supplements known as human food. Unlike the forklores surrounding Vampires inability to consume human food which has being proven false. They could consume human food without any harm being done to the body but it was just like eating junk food. it contributed nothing to their body.Moreover it was a good cover so humans couldn't question their diet amid their appearance.

But there was a problem with Animal blood.

No matter how much animal blood they consumed, there was still this insatiable ache in them - the taste for human blood. Comparing human blood to animal blood was like asking a girl to choose between a d**k and a s*x toy moreover there's this s****l feeling that comes with drinking from a human compared to an animal's

Also the amount of energy acquired from drinking human blood was two times greater than the energy acquired from drinking animal's which is why rogue vampire who feed on human blood till they're sucked dry are much stronger than the normal vampires and are often killed off by the hunters.

So in order to prevent the human race from going extinct, an "acceptable" ceremony is held for a newcomer in which an elder aka a witch in disguise places a protection hex on the individual which is often triggered when a vampire tries to take the individuals blood without permission and in turn the council gets notified and sends out their army called "Hunters " who in turn finishes the vampire at the spot .But if the vampire is lucky enough or of a very high status, a trial is held where he or she will be determined guilty or not.

This law was put in place to ensure no race is threatened or extinct. And it has being working except the council are ignorant of one thing - Jasper's second ability,

Hypnosis.

Every Vampire is born with a natural hypnotic ability which is rendered useless when used on an "accepted " individual but that wasn't the case with Jasper. His ability was so much potent that he could hinder the hex from triggering until he's done.

Which is how they've being getting their monthly supply of secret human blood in moderation, he was smart enough not to get greedy and trigger the council's suspicion.

But what was more dangerous about Jasper's ability is the fact he could hypnotize not only human but other vampires as well. A fact only Felix and Fred, his closest and trusted allies knows.

All vampires have a distinct innate ability that comes to manifestation as something humans calls "super powers " And most vampires has their theylities attuned to a single element. For example, a vampire attuned to a water element can never possess nor manipulate fire even as a second ability , but that wasn't the case with Jasper.

Jasper was something out of this world, he alone possesses the ability to manipulate all four element which made him one of the most lethal and powerful vampire in the world and in little Town. Imagine if little Town made an enemy of Jasper, they would still incur much damages and death even if they end up decapitating him.

Perhaps in the future, there would come someone who would be able to challenge Jasper but at the moment he was not to be trifled with.

"Don't even think about it " Jasper warned seeing the gleeful anticipation on Gideon's face. Without even being a seer, he could already guess what's going on in his mind.

"Can't I just have one taste? " Felix whined

"No !" he bellowed

Aside from his ability, there was another way of drinking human blood but it was much riskier. A vampire could drink a newcomers blood before he or she is "accepted " but it was risky cause there's eyes everywhere in little Town so you could get killed , also a vampire could lose control and kill their prey by draining them dry and still end up being killed by the council's hunter.

The council exist for the purpose of balance not only in Little Town but in the entire world and is founded by specifically handpicked powerful humans and supernatural clan leaders. So in one word, it's another strong secret organization of its own.

"I'll be careful " He pouted his lips smiling coaxingly

Jasper's gaze darkened at once, all humour draining from his face , he turned to look at Gideon.

"I will not have my clan perish because of your idiotic death wish " He warned decisively.

Gideon's heart sank, he knew that Jasper's decision was final but he couldn't help it. He had this urgent burning need for human blood . Upon consuming tons of animal blood in the woods he wasn't anything near the word 'satiated ' . The urge was driving him nuts so since Jasper won't help him, he'll have to figure out another way.

"Fine then" He murmured . Wrapping the shadow around him, he disappeared before Fred could protest.

"Follow him, don't allow him do anything stupid " Jasper ordered as Fred nodded and left.

Left alone, Jasper sighed before heading back to his bedroom. He needed to bury himself in Loveth's body, he needed a release right now.

She tumbled into the pack house , eyes wearily searching for some figure until it locked unto her target. Swiftly, She approached him.

"I lost Emmett " She said bowing her head in shame

"What do you mean you lost him! " Farkas growled .

"He suddenly leaped off and ended up tricking me off his tail as if he had a mind of his own " She explained but Farkas stared at her in disbelief.

"That's impossible. He's in his cursed week and still in his primitive form " He muttered trying to think of a cogent reason that'll explain all this.

Emmett was the Alpha of the silver pack and Farkas was his Beta and also the leader of the silver guards. The only reason he had left Emmett to be taken care of by one of his promising disciple was so he could resolve some issues in the pack. But it seems he overestimated her abilities.

"Juliet " he called, his voice low and grim as she bowed her head further. she could feel his dominance aura oozing off him urging her to submit.

Even though Farkas might not be an alpha but a Beta, he's the second in command and second most dominant while she's an ordinary Delta, third in command and in training for the Beta position, so she couldn't fight off his Aura.

She found herself kneeling before him, eyes lowered. It's seen as a disrespect or a challenge looking straight in the eyes of a werewolf higher than you in rank most especially Alphas and Betas.

"Assemble the elite fighters, you know how dangerous he is in his cursed week and the repercussion we would suffer if he harms any local in little Town, cause the council won't be lenient with him when it involves the death of a human "

Juliet blinked, not sure what she was hearing. She had expected him to punish or scold her for failing her tasks, unexpectedly he showed her mercy.

"Yes, Beta Farkas " She answered gratefully, bowed and left in a hurry with the urge to prove her worth .

A smile tugged at his lips but he couldn't afford one at the moment. He knew Juliet would get Emmett this time, the girl had a persistent and tough personality which was why he had taken her in as his Delta, his second in command.

Suddenly Farkas frowned, Emmett shook them off his tail?

That was more confusing unless.... his eyes widened at once, had Emmett found his mate?
