The Forbidden Mates (Duology #1)

Chapter 12

Helliana wakes up in Eustas arms, she looked at his handsome and peaceful face. And a huge smile is plastered on her face the thought of what they did last night.

"Stop starting, Helliana," he said and glared at her. They are both fully naked and only covered by a blanket.

Helliana pouted her lips and looked away, "What's wrong with staring at you? We even made out last night and now I ca-----," she objected but Eustas cutter her off using one sweet kiss on her cheeks, she froze for a moment.

"Good morning, I'm sorry. Face me and look at me even how long you want to," he said and smile. "Because until the end we'll always look at each other like it's our first time. Hmmm?"

Helliana hides her smile, "No, you already ruined the moment, Eustas." She was about to stand up but Eustas stopped her holding her hand.

"Stop, come here."

But Helliana didn't listen to him and made a face. She stood up and Eustas jaw drops looking at her from head to toe. He even felt a lump in her throat and cold sweat in his head.

"Helliana, you are naked," he stated.

She slowly bends her head down, when she realized that she is not wearing anything, her complexion becomes red and covered her mouth instead of covering her body.

"Why didn't you tell me?!" she yelled at him. She almost breaks Eustas eardrums.

"I stopped you, sorry it's my fault." Her face softened when Eustas covered him with her blanket. He gave her a long warm hugged and kiss on her lips, "But, you don't have to be embarrassed about your body, I already saw it last ni----ouch!" he grunted after Helliana hit his chest and leave him standing.

She says, "You horny, Vampire!"

"I am not! You were the one wh----,"

"Shut up or I'll leave you here!" she shouted while looking for her clothing to wear.

He zipped his mouth close and didn't say anything against her.

When they did wearing garments they sit and place all their food in front of the both of them.

"How long will you wanted to stay here?" he asked her looked at their commodities, "Because I want to be with you maybe until one month."

Helliana raised one of her brows, "Stop joking, it's not funny, Eustas." She said and rolled her eyes. "We don't have enough food for that long days."

"You looked more beautiful when you are rolling your eyes," he replied and chuckled.

Helliana's eyes darted in him like he is prey, "Stop talking nonsense, will you?"

"It's not nonsense, it makes sense that I am mated to the most beautiful human."

Her breathing suddenly stopped for a moment, Eustas really don't know that she is a Wolf.

He "Hey, are you okay? You looked pale, Helliana. Did I sipped too much last night?" he asked worriedly. She gets back to her senses and started at his beautiful eyes. Her heart started to melt when he saw him smiling sweetly.

"I'm okay," she put her index finger in his forehead and pushed him, "Why are you so close?"

"Are you sure you're alright?"

"Yes, Eustas," she nodded and looked down, "We can't stay that long, you know that."

"But if possible we can how long we wanted to, Helliana."

She deeply sighed, "Fine, let's make it at least how long we can stay here."

He blew a kiss to her and Helliana catches it.

"Okay? Let's eat because my intestines are already talking to each other hmmm?"

She laughed as her response and shook her head, "We'll find other food, okay? Maybe there is fruit tress here that we never know."

"Sure but for now? Eat, I don't want you to be that skinny while we are together." He pinched her rosy cheeks and opened a canned food.

"So, I think we are in the same age but not literally because I lived more than 50 years now."

"Yeah, we are. So don't worry. How about your family? Did they know that you are here?" she asked while eating.

"Yeah, because I am sick when you are not with me."

"Sick?"

"Yes, from the first time I heard the both of you talked. I even lost my consciousness and my fangs are being abnormal without you," he explained. He can see in Helliana's face the amusement, "Did it happened to you too?"

"Ah," she didn't know what to answer, "It did not...but I think I've been in a...fever after I get home from the forest, yes, yes that's it!" she exclaimed after saying a lie to him. She made a fake smile but her eyes aren't

doing the same.

Eustas looked at him in doubt, "Really?"

Her smile vanished say, "Yes, continue eating. I'm done, let me have to catch some air outside."

"Alright!"

Helliana steps out from the tent and able to breathe freely. She let out a long and loud air from her lungs while her hands are in her waist.

"Oh my gosh!" she nibbled her lower lips. "I'm getting crazy."

"Crazy?"

She startled and held her chest "Ah! Oh my gosh! You frightened me!"

"What? I am just asking you." His forehead crumpled as she shut her mouth shut.

"I am thinking where to find food,"

"We can catch a fish here but I think it's rare because the last time I catch it took me an hour," he said and raised his both brows up and down.

"Tss... let's just move from one place to another. What do you think?"

"Ah, what about the person who is following you? I think this is the safest place." He roamed his eyes and gave her a half-smile. He can't stop himself but to hug her from the back. He sniffed her hair and say, "You smell so good."

"Why are you always telling that kind of thing when we are talking about an important thing, huh?" she asked curiously, he really loves changing topics and clingy.

"Because I don't want you to think about it deeply when I can do it myself."

"You're being awesome again," she commented and rolled her eyes and hold his hand that is in her waist.

"Because I am, Helliana. I am completely awesome."

He gently kissed her shoulder above her cloth.

"Don't bite me, awesome Eustas...it's still daylight,"

He laughed and hugged her tight, "I just love your blood, it tastes good."

"Ah-huh. What else?"

"Of course, I love your white porcelain skin even if it makes me insecure 'coz mine is tan."

"What?" she chuckled. "But I love your skin even more!" she faced her and gave him amusing smile, "It makes you stand out, your muscles, eyebrows and,"

"And?"

"Nothing!" she answered.

"Helliana, what? Don't make me hanged her in curiosity."

"Okay fine!"

"What is it?"

She looked down and played her fingers, "I love the way you make me scream in the first time," she shyly said. After a minute Eustas still staring at her quietly, "Why aren't you talking, Eustas?"

In one second Eustas burst into laughter while holding his stomach, "I thought it's..."

"Eustas!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I can not help it." He still laughing until he felt his eyes tears. He never laughs like this anymore. Helliana hit his arms and walk away, "Wait, Helliana!"

"Don't talk to me, Vampire!"

"No! I didn't mean to laugh at you, it's just you made me happy."

But Helliana already zipped close the tent and she's inside fuming mad.

"I'm sorry!"

"F*ck yourself!"

"Damn it!"
