Omega Mated To the Vampire King

Next Steps

Chapter Four Andy

The girls wouldn’t stop asking me questions. They were so overwhelmed with what happened, but I was even more overwhelmed. I wondered what reason Hazel had for not wanting to reject him, and why they believed we should even give him the chance.

As soon as we got back to the house, the girls were still talking a lot, and Paloma greeted us trying to figure out what happened.

Finally, Yvette looked at Paloma and said, “Her mate was the Vampire King of the coven.”

I saw Paloma’s eyes start to scrunch in confusion, and then fear, and then anger. “You guys are joking right? Why would you even joke about that!”

I smiled softly at her, I knew it would be hard for her to understand, “No, she’s not joking.”

Paloma gasped. “You rejected him immediately right?!”

The entire room was looking at me as I shook my head. Paloma took a step back from me as she asked, “Why? Why wouldn’t you reject him right then and there?!”

I hated the way she looked at me, the disappointment was so sad. But I still managed to tell her, “Hazel said we shouldn’t. She said we should give him time. The Moon Goddess chose him for a reason.”

Paloma’s lip was quivering as she spoke to me, “So what? Now, you’re going to try and romance our natural predator. The people who killed my pack!”

I tried to reach out to her as I saw her panicking but she stepped back again. Lydia chimed in for me, “Paloma, she didn’t do it on purpose. It just happened. You know we don’t choose our mates.”

“But we can choose to reject them. And she didn’t.” Paloma practically spat at me.

I felt the pain of knowing my friend was angry at me, “Paloma, I’m sorry.”

She shook her head, and grabbed her bag from the couch, “No, just leave me alone. I need to go. I can’t be here for this.”

I tried to reach for her, but Lydia pulled me back, “Just let her go. She needs time.”

I let her go. She didn’t even look back once as she left. The house was quiet for a little bit before Lydia asked me, “So, what is the plan?”

Hazel spoke to me and told me, “We see mate again, and get him to like us.”

“I guess I'll try and see him again.” I said out loud.

I then sat down on the couch trying to fully process everything that had happened in the last couple hours. I hated even thinking that he was good looking, but he was. He actually enchanted me when I saw him. Yes, I was disgusted by the woman on his bed, but when I got to look into his eyes, I didn’t hate him like I thought I would. Instead I wanted to know what it would be like for him to look at me softly, and caringly.

I groaned out in frustration. Lydia sat down next to me and patted my back. “Just know whatever you decide to do. I’m here for you.”

I sighed. “Thank you. I just don’t even know where to begin.”

“Should we just binge watch a bunch of vampire movies?” Aileen asked.

“Oh we should start with twilight!” Yvette said.

I had to admit that idea did make me laugh a bit. It sounded ridiculous but I really didn’t know where to begin. And watching movies with my friends might just be the best thing for me right now. I nodded, “Okay we’ll start with twilight.” Lydia laughed and we all huddled around the couch where the TV was. We found the streaming service that the movie was on and started to play it. We got through the first movie, and started to watch the second one. I remember when I used to watch these movies and laugh with the girld about how silly it was for anyone to fall in love with a vampire, or how silly it was for them to sparkle in the sunlight. If that was what they did, and if they only ate animals liek the vampires in the movie then maybe we'd get along, but the vampires we knew didn't. They would destroy packs, and hunt wolves. They would take humans and feed on the against their will. They would sometimes kill humans and pretend like it was no big deal. I wondered if the Vampire King I was mated to did any of the brutal things. Had he ever killed anyone? I knew he fed on humans, but I didn't know what was the worst things he'd done. I hoped he wasn't actually a bad person, and the Moon Goddess chose someone good for me. But I had no other information to base my thoughts on him off of. And the vampires in the movie didn't seem like the vampire that I was mated to. We got half way through the second movie, when the girls started to fall asleep. Yvette, and Aileen knocked out and Lydia was still awake.

She slowly got up from her spot on the couch and got up to sit next to me. She smiled at me softly and said, “Okay, but honestly how are you? What are you really thinking?”

I shrugged. “I don’t know. I want to say that I’m mad at Hazel for not making us reject him, but I’m not. I actually felt attracted to him, and I hate that.”

“He wasn’t bad looking, he actually was a cute guy.” Lydia said.

I nodded, “Yeah I know. But he’s still a vampire.”

Lydia leaned over and hugged me tightly as she said. “Yeah that’s true, but also you’re not the only one. People say that other couple who are Alpha, and Vampire are happy. They supposedly even loved each other before the mate bond was activated. It’ll be okay Andy. I’m here for you, I mean it.”

I wanted to cry at how nice she was being to me. “So when am I supposed to go back to the castle and try to get him to talk to me?”

Lydia let me go from the hug and said, “Oh no girl, the first step is to find the right outfit to make you look irresistible. Then we’ll figure out when you’ll show him how good you look.”

I rolled my eyes. Of course she was already thinking of the outfit. Lydia loved everything fashion, and Yvette loved everything hair, so most likely the girls were gonna do what they could to make me feel super pretty.

But what did vampires find attractive? Did I need to wear all black? Would my makeup also be black? Should I dye my hair or would that be going too far? If the Moon Goddess choose him for me would that mean that he would find me attractive no matter what? All these questions plagued my mind as Lydia leaned on me, and eventually closed her eyes. As I started to sleep I found myself thinking of him again. His hair, his jawline. His eyes. The red dark eyes that looked at me like I was insane. The eyes that I was going to try and get to love me. Goddess I hope you were right about this.
