The Vampire’s Forbidden Mate.

Chapter 13

Elara’s POV

Today is one of those days when I wake up whenever I want, because it's a holiday and I haven't registered for my dance classes.

I turned several times in bed, hoping to fall back asleep, but that didn't work. The only thing that flooded my mind was Lucien and my piled-up work. I got out of bed, freshened up, and then went to my desk to start working. It was still very early, but I had to take a warm bath because whenever I’m done with work, I end up too lazy to do anything else.

After I had finished reviewing all the articles that I had been postponing, I turned off my computer and jumped onto my bed to sleep again. At the time I had woken up again, I did not realize how far the time had gone. The house is unusually quiet because something would have woken me up before. I went down and I saw my family in the parlor watching a movie but they were all fast asleep, I looked at the wall clock and it was reading twelve noon. I can't believe I haven't had anything to eat and no one checked up on me. I went into the kitchen and served myself some creamy pasta my mother made. After eating I went straight to my best friend's house.

As soon as I got to her place Rose got really excited about remembering that today is date night. “So what are you going to wear?!”, she asked in excitement.

“Can I at least come in?”

“Sorry, I got carried away”, then she let me in.

I went straight into her living room and sat on the soft sofa.

“Honestly I haven't thought of anything, and it is still quite early, I'll figure out something later.”

“Well I have dresses that I haven't worn in a while and it will be nice for a date you have no idea about the location, but Elara truthfully it feels weird going out with someone you don't really know, and where the destination of this date is going to be”.

“My love you don't need to worry, my location is always on and I know I can trust him”.

After having random conversations with Rose, we decided to watch a movie to while away the time.

Once it was almost time for my date Rose helped me out with my dress and it suited me perfectly, it was a white gown with red Rose patterns and it had really slim hands like a bra strap, I didn't need to wear a bra in it cause of the cups of the dress were firm and it even gave my boobs a little lift job. I did my makeup and I packed my hair in a messy bun leaving some strands falling and I curled it.

After everything Rose and I did a selfie on my phone because she kept on hyping me up on how good I look. I thanked her for her help and hurriedly went back to my place to wait for Lucien since he only knows my place.

When I got home, my mum was surprised to see me all glammed up. Although she was upset that I left the house without anyone’s notice, she still complimented me and told me she didn't want to ruin my night, that when I get back we will have a proper conversation. When my mother turned to leave the parlor for the kitchen I breathed a sigh of relief that my scolding had been postponed. I waited for a long while before my bell was rung, so I quickly went to the door to answer.

I was stunned to see Lucien in a suit but when I peeped outside I did not see a vehicle, maybe we are not going very far. I set my gaze back at him and all I could do was admire him in my mind.

“Elara everytime I see you, you look even more beautiful than ever.” I blushed at his words, not knowing what to say or do I just stood there looking like a fool with him standing out in the cold night on my porch.

“Are you going to invite me in?” his question brought me back to reality from my one-minute imagination.

“I'm so sorry, please come in”. After inviting him in we did not stay long. My mother came out of the kitchen and saw us then she strictly told him I should not stay out too late.

“So where are we going?” I asked him while we both walked out of my house.

“It's a surprise”

I thank my stars that I ended up wearing white flats because we walked for a while talking about things we like and dislike. We got to the park where we had our first-ever proper conversation. He kept on asking me if I trusted him which was weird but I still reassured him that I did.

I couldn't help but speak about the weird incident that happened to me, and I also asked him if he believed in all those creatures and he said yes. I was so glad someone actually believed me without doubting first.

“Don’t you read the history of your town?”, he asked

“Well not really but I read something on it recently.”

“But you know those creatures aren't evil, they didn't create themselves.”

“Ohh please, they feed on human blood, what's more evil than that?”

“You guys feed on animals too. It's just the circle of life.” Lucien said defensively.

“You guys?” I asked with one of my eyebrows raised.

“Sorry, I thought I said, humans.”

“Ok”

We left the park and we continued walking but this time in silence. He held my hands and I felt this spark I can't explain. I found pleasure in both our skin contacting each other, I felt this comfort, safety, and peace with him.

He turned to me then the curl from my hair that was on my face he removed it, then asked if I trusted him all I could do was nod because my mind was filled with what if I kissed him right now, if I did would he get upset or would I regret it. He came closer and placed my hand on his chest, I could feel his heart beating fast, I looked up at him into his beautiful eyes. I let my intrusive thoughts win so I tiptoed and I pressed my lips against his. This feeling was magical, it reminds me of those books that describe a kiss as fireworks, today I finally understood how. As we kissed out there in the cold night, a wave of cool breeze blew really hard sending a cold chill down my spine.

He pulled backwards, then asked if I was okay, I nodded avoiding his gaze because I became shy, but then I noticed that same mystic place I had seen I saw it again, I pulled on Lucien’s arm so he could turn around to see it.

“Lucien this is the place I told you about that made me aware of other creatures.”

He turned back looked at it then looked at me back with confusion on his face.

“Elara, what are you?” he asked but I am very much puzzled.

“I didn't open it, and we are the only ones here, so you definitely did this.” his response made me scared, so I let go of his arm and I started running. What Lucien did after, left me in awe.
