Chapter 7
851 Words
King Nathans POV.
I fall asleep with ease. My body is sore from all the traning we have been doing these last couple of weeks. My sleep is dreamless when a sudden scream in pure agony rips me from my sleep. I jump out of my bed and know instantly that the scream is coming from her. I run to her room. I can feel her pain, her suffering.
I jump down the stairs and I'm finally outside her door. I knock on it but no one answers. I wonder if Alpha Blade heard the scream too. He's nowhere to be seen. I gently open the door and see her in her bed. She looks like she's sleeping but she's not breathing.
'No! She's dead!'
I can feel the pain from Jeremiah and the panic increase in my chest as I walk towards her. Her senna colored skin is stunning in the moon light. Her long, curly hair is up in a messy bun. She's wearing a black, lace sportsbra and a small thong. I look closer to her face and see a bite mark on her neck. To small bite holes. Her body is covered in blood.
'Vampire..'
'Lets go find it, that creepy bloodsucker!'
'No, I need to get Alpha Blade first.'
I mind link Beta Damon.
'Damon, get Alpha Blade and take him to Beta Leas room.'
'Yes, Alpha.'
A minute later and then a knock on the door.
"Come in." My voice is a calm but I can feel the panic in my chest.
Alpha Blade and Beta Damon enters the room. Alpha Blade rushes to his beta, leaning down at her bedside. He caress her face like a lover would do. I can feel the jealousy and Jeremiah was furious.
'He can't touch her like that. She's ours.'
'No she's not! She probably hates us.'
'She sure hates you.'
'Shut up.'
I block him out and look at her peaceful face again. I shake my head and look at Alpha Blade.
"Do you know who did this? Who would want to kill her?" Anger fills my voice. Alpha Blade is not looking at me, he's just quiet.
"She's not dead, my King." His voice is a mumble, like his thinking about something else.
"What do you mean? She's not breathing?" I growl with anger and frustration. He stands up from her bedside and looks into my eyes.
"My King, she's not dead. I can explain." His eyes is sincere and I gesture for him to continue.
"Her mother made a deal with a witch long time ago. She wanted things, power and immortality, but the witch had a price. She wanted her first born and as cold and stupid she was, Leas mother agreed. By the time she gave birth to Lea, she had regretted her choice and told the witch she could take back her powers and the immortality. The witch was not happy and decided to curse Lea instead..." He pause and looks back at Lea. He's just as concerned as I am.
'He loves her.'
'Yes, Jer. He loves her.'
'Lets hope it's just like a sister, or I will kill him.'
"Her mother prayed for the Moon Goddess to save her little daughter. The Moon Goddess was willing to save Lea, but only if she would become the bridge between life and death. Her mother accepted on Leas behave and since she turned 16, Lea has been the bridge between life and death, helping the dead crossing over to the other side and be in peace." Alpha Blade look back at me a few seconds, I'm confused and concerned.
"So what happens to her?" Is all I can ask. Alpha Blade look at me with surprise, he probably expecting me to be angry but right now, all I could feel is concern.
"She feels all their feelings, pain and suffering when they cross over through her. She heals after a couple of hours, maybe minutes but she is confused and scared when she wakes up." His eyes holds pain and concern for his Beta or should I say lover.
"I didn't hear her scream, how did you know she was hurt?" He asks me with a frown.
"I heard her scream loud and clear." My voice is rough still holdning my eyes on her.
"You can go now, I can stay with her till she wakes up." Alpha Blade is suprised by my words and so is Damon, a smirk hidden in his face. I can see the hesitation in Alpha Blades eyes but he don't say a word. They walk out the room and I'm alone with her.
I go to the bathroom and find a bath sponge. I gently remove the blood from her body and change the sheet.
'Should I change her close too?'
'Hell yes, I wanna see her boobs!'
'You're a perve!'
'No I'm not, just a little horny. We haven't got any action since Vanessa.'
'Don't mention her.'
I lay down next to her, gently embracing her body. I waited minutes, hours for her to heal.
