MIDNIGHT WITH AN ALPHA

CHAPTER 4

EVE JONES

Oh my God.

Vampires?

I can feel my body shaking with fear as I see the golden-eyed man holding a gun. I don't understand why he has so many guns in the house, but he seems to know how to use them.

The vampires keep banging against the door, trying to get inside this place, and I scream again when I see the door being destroyed.

I opened my eyes to hear the sound of a gun going off. I look down at the floor to see the first vampire lying on the ground, but I don't have time to look in more detail because he takes my hand and pulls me out of the room.

Furthermore, I squeeze his hand tightly, seeing that there are two more vampires in the living room. I still can't believe this is happening. Vampires are trying to kill us, and all I can think about is my father.

I see Mason pointing the gun at the other two vampires, who start attacking him. I look towards the exit of the house, but before I have a chance to run outside, I feel something pulling hard on my leg.

Furthermore, I scream, falling to the ground, feeling my skin being cut by pieces of glass. I try to move away, seeing that the other vampire lying wounded on the ground is trying to get close to me.

I pick up a large piece of glass and punch the vampire hard in the face before getting up and seeing Mason on the ground while the other two vampires try to kill him.

Furthermore, I look at one of the guns on the floor, and I quickly pick it up without knowing how it works, but I'm surprised when I press the trigger of the gun and see the bullet pierce the head of one of the vampires standing over him.

He's still a stranger to me, but I can't let him die because he saved me last night. Mason gets up quickly and using a sword, I see him pierce the chest of the vampire, who falls dead to the ground in a few seconds.

I approach him as the other vampire tries to hold me back, but before I can do that, Mason kills the second vampire too.

"Eve, I need you to do something for me. Touch that painting and take a small box.", he says, pointing to a painting on the wall.

The last vampire seems to be stronger and pushes Mason to the other side of the living room. I'm still very scared, but I touch the painting and see that there's a box hidden there.

I turn my head to see that the vampire is staring at me with his mouth open. Likewise, I can see his sharp teeth, and I hold the box tightly in my hands when I hear him running towards me.

Furthermore, I close my eyes, screaming and waiting for him to bite me, but I hear the sound of Mason's sword killing the last vampire.

I look at all the dead bodies on the ground, feeling completely shocked.

"Eve, we need to go now!", He grabs my arm before pulling me out of the house.

I look at the box in my hand, seeing that the vampires are looking for this, and I still don't know what it is.

"What's that?", I say, watching him put the weapons into a car near the house.

He looks at me as if he can't tell me, but I've seen terrible things happen in the last few moments, and I need to know what's going on.

I've been attacked by vampires, people who kill humans to drink blood, and my father is in our house alone.

"What is it, Mason? They seemed to be looking for this.", I ask louder, making him move closer to me and look at me.

I look at the box and see him putting his finger in a small lock, and seconds later the box opens, and I see some kind of shiny ball.

I frown, seeing that it looks like something supernatural and mystical.

"I can't let them get it, if the vampires find it, this world will be destroyed. This has the power to make vampires stronger.", he says, before closing the box and touching my arm.

"You're bleeding.", he says, and I blink, seeing that there's a cut on my arm caused by a piece of glass.

Mason tears off a piece of his T-shirt before tying the fabric against my wound.

"I know you're really scared, but we have to go now, we can't stay here anymore. Get in the car!", he says, opening the door and pushing me inside.

"I can't do that! I don't know you yet, and I need to find my father!", I shout, and he nods.

"Please try to understand! The vampires know you're with me, and they'll find you again!", he says, and I try to open the car door, but he stops me.

"Okay, we can find your father, but then we need to go somewhere far away!", I nod, feeling a little reassured. I see him start to drive quickly, and I widen my eyes when I remember a detail about him.

"You're a wolf. You're a big black wolf. How is that possible? Wolves and vampires?", I ask, going into shock again.

Until yesterday, I lived in a normal world, but now I'm running away somewhere with a wolf because vampires want to kill us.

"I know you're confused, and I understand that. But I'll answer all your questions when the time is right, but right now my priority is to get you to safety.", he says, and I frown, looking at the man next to me.

"Why did you do that? Why did you save me last night?", I whisper as he turns his head to look at me with his golden eyes.
