Hybrids

Chapter 18

Caedmon POV

She's on the floor, besides the fireplace, in just a towel. Goddess, what a blessing and a curse. Her skin was still glistening with some droplets of water running down her neck, her hair wasn't dry. If it was any other moment, I would've ravished her right there. But I knew she wasn't okay. One look at her told me all I needed to know. I go to pick her up and she immediately recognizes me.

Nyx POV

Were there knocks before this one? I couldn't tell. The door was opened and I was still lying there, trying to enjoy the slight warmth I was getting from the fireplace. I heard steps coming close to me and it wasn't until I felt a pair of hands try to raise me that I realized it was Caedmon. Wherever my thoughts were flying through, I immediately snapped at the feel of his warm hands and the look of his eyes. They were truly beautiful, cerulean blue. He tried to raise me up but I flinched. Caedmon was being gentle with me, his touch was light as he cupped my face and told me...

Caedmon's POV

We have to get you up. I said to Nyx as she flinched when I tried to raise her slightly the first time. Fenrir doesn't have to even tell me how he's feeling, I feel it too. It feels like if we hold her too tight she might break. She apologizes and gives me her hand as she holds her towel with the other. I grabbed her hand and helped her get up. She's trying to let go of my hand since she needs clothing from the dresser and when she does, she looses balance. I grabbed her again but I hit the dresser, which had a vase with flowers on it. The vase hits my arm and cracks, breaking on the floor. Fkc, I just had to be a clumsy ass right now. But, she's okay and that's all that matters. I go to check on her and I noticed a glow in her eyes.

Nyx POV

I'm trying to get some clothing, to get dressed, but I feel like I could collapse at any moment. I let go of his hand to attempt to get clothing and I felt faint. He helps me but hits the dresser and drops a vase that was on it. And then it hit me, it was a familiar scent, but it was so much sweeter, my mouth watered and I felt like a predator ready to consume its prey. That smell was so enticing, but just as strong as the feeling of desire was, the deep feeling of pain was worse. The scent was coming from him, from Caedmon. He had cut himself when the vase fell. There it was, the blood in his arm called me, and I felt parched, like I couldn't control myself, even if I wanted to.

Caedmon's POV

Her eyes were glowing, that eye that glowed like autumn leaves was bright red while her left was dominated by that blue hue it had. She looked starved, and I was that plate of food. What once looked like prey had just turned into a full predator in my eyes. I realized what it was; my blood. I was the prey she looked at with harmful intent. The small bit of blood that ran on my arm appealed to her. The wound was closing quickly. It wasn't deep. But it was enough for her to smell it and want it. There was something about seeing her in this state that was arousing. She looked so strong, so powerful, yet still so fragile in my eyes. I looked straight at her and reached my arm out. She was hesitant and wanted me to leave.

Nyx POV

You should leave...

I was severely struggling with my grip. Fighting with the last bit of control I had over myself, over my hunger. He kept offering me.

You need to feed, don't you? In this state, you won't make it to the hospital wing. To an extent, I know he's right. I'm about to pass out and I don't know when I'll wake up. I haven't been injured, so I know it will most likely be a day or two, but his blood is so tempting, so tantalizing that I felt like I couldn't hold back.

I'm sorry...

Don't be. I offered.

And with that, I couldn't hold anymore. I slowly moved towards him. He sat on the floor against the wall besides the dresser with his knees bent and placed his arm resting on his knee. I sat beside him and got close to his arm. I asked one more time if he was okay with this, and he said yes. That closed the deal. I licked the blood that was in his arm, I didn't want to waste a drop. I could've sworn he slightly shivered. Wrapping my hands as best as I could around his forearm, I opened my mouth and allowed my fangs to dig into his skin. When I swallowed his blood, my body felt on fire. With this type of fire, I would be willing to burn. It felt like I couldn't get enough, it was arousing. His blood was delicious. I've never had anything like it. There was something about it that made my body tremble with desire. When I realized that I was enjoying this too much, I had gone too far.

Caedmon's POV

I wanted her desire. I wanted her to need me as much as I needed, and wanted her. She tried to fight it, but her hunger was too much. I wondered if I was being unfair to her. But at the same time, she was weak and, as my mate, this was the least I could do to protect her. I sat down, bent my knees and allowed my arm to rest on my knee. She asked again and I agreed. When she licked the blood in my arm, I felt a shiver run through my spine, I felt it all the way to my head and even down to my dck. She looked so fckng sexy. When she bit down, there was no pain for me. I've had worse injuries than this. I could feel her and her excitement, she was aroused, and so was I. She moaned slightly and kept drinking. After a few minutes, I started feeling a bit weak. By this point, I was in too deep so I quickly linked Zach and Luke. Zach could contact Theo. I felt myself slipping as they came in.
