The Vampire Queen's Pet

Chapter 12

Jax's point of view

I can't believe I'm acting like a teenager, making out with a Vampire. I take her lips one last time before I leave the room, she's been through so much, and I don't want to push her before she's ready.

Damn though, I've never felt like this before, one kiss and I'm a goner.

I head straight into my own room, hoping that I don't run into anyone in the corridor, my very obvious erection causing a tent in my pants.

Thankfully though, the corridors are bare, and I slip into my room unnoticed, throwing off my clothes before heading into the shower to take care of my aching d**k.

I've never felt this attracted to a woman before, now don't get me wrong, I like a bit of female company to warm my bed at night, but it never goes any further and never more than one night.

But where Ysabella is concerned, I find myself longing for more. She provokes feelings in me that I've never felt before.

Once I'm showered and cleaned up, I dive into bed, waiting for Ysabella to fill my dreams.

I'm up early in the morning, heading off into the kitchen when I run into Bear; some things never change; after a lifetime in the military, you're never able to lie in bed again.

"Good morning son, how was your night?"

He says with a raised eyebrow, and I chuckle as I reply.

"If you're trying to get any info out of me over Ysabella, it is not going to happen, as we haven't done anything."

He chuckled as he replies.

"You must be losing your touch, Son."

I shake my head as I say.

"I don't want to push her; she's been through a lot."

And for the next twenty minutes, I sit next to him as I explain what I witnessed. Neither of us noticed Ysabella standing in the doorway. I lift my head, somehow able to sense her standing there; as she walks over to sit with us at the table, Bear takes hold of her hand as he says.

"We will make him pay for what he's done to you, Ysabella."

She sighs before she says.

"He will never pay for what he's done to me; He took everything away from me. I can never have the life I want. I will never see my parents again. I will never be human. I will never be a mother."

I pull her into my arms as I whisper.

"I'm so sorry baby; I wish I could make things better for you."

Bear rubs his beard before he says.

"You know that it's rumoured that the high witch Ophelia of Eden Forest has changed Vampires back into humans."

I lift my head to look at him as I say.

"Isn't the high witch just a myth?"

He laughs as he replies.

"That's what she wants you to believe; the high witch is real; she saved my sister's life many years ago."

Ysabella lifts her head from my shoulders as she asks.

"Do you think she could do it?"

Bear shrugs his massive shoulder before he says.

"There would be no harm in asking her, and the Eden forest is only a few hours away from here; what have you got to lose."

"What about the war and the Vampire King?"

I ask; as Bear turns to me.

"It's going to take a good few days, maybe even weeks, before we pull all the teams in and make a plan of action; losing a day to visit Ophelia isn't going to hurt."

Ysabella turns her head back to me, her eyes filled with hope, and I know that I can't say no to her; I grin as I say.

"Yeah, I don't see why not."

Ysabella lets out a scream before she launches herself into my arms and takes my lips in a passionate kiss; I return the kiss with everything I have, completely forgetting about anyone else in the room.

Bear clears his throat, bringing us both back to reality as he says with a chuckle.

"Oh, to be young and in love again."

We both pull apart breathless; neither of us knows what to say as we look at each other.

Surely you can't fall in love with someone that you've only just met?

I turn away from her, trying to bring my emotions back under control as I say.

"I'll go and get you some blood."

She nods her head as she brings her hand to touch her swollen lips; no doubt she's struggling with her own emotions.

I spend ten minutes in the medical room, setting up a new drain before taking the blood into Ysabella's room; she lies on the bed looking at me with those beautiful wide eyes of hers.

There's no point in denying it. I'm falling hard and fast for my little Vampire Queen; I can feel it in my heart, and I'll do whatever it takes to make her happy, and if that means a trip to Eden forest to see the high witch, then so be it.

I only pray that the myth of Ophelia is real. Isabella has suffered more than enough in her lifetime; this glimmer of hope lights up her eyes, and I would hate to dampen that fire.

I sit on the side of the bed as I set up the drip; once I'm finished, I take her hand in mine as I say.

"How about you and I take a trip to Eden forest tonight, and see if this high witch really is real?"

She turns her head to look at me as I wipe away a single tear that trails down her pale face, and she whispers.

"You would do that for me?"

I chuckle as I reply.

"Baby, I would do anything for you."

I would move heaven and earth for her if it were possible. I just want to make her happy.

We share a sweet kiss as the blood runs through the drip, keeping her alive. Maybe this will be the last time I have to do this; perhaps tomorrow, my beautiful Queen will be human once more.
