The Vampire Luna

Chapter 7

I arrived at my apartment, got changed into comfortable clothes then decided to give my mother a call. I take my cell phone out and dial her number. The line rings and I hear a familiar voice say, “Hello?” I smile hearing her gentle voice and I say, “How are you, mother?” I hear a soft gasp and she says, “Everyone, please give me a few moments.” I smile hearing her give command to leave her alone. She says sweetly, “Oh my precious one, I have missed you so much.” I smile and feel tears fall as I say, “I miss you a lot too.” She sniffles and says, “Why are you calling so suddenly? Is everything okay?” I smile and say, “I think I have been away for a long time.” She smiles and says, “The last time I saw you was when you broke off the engagement to Erick.” I laugh and say, “Mom, that was like 10 decades ago.” She laughs and says, “You still have more time to enjoy your life.” I smile and say, “I think I am ready to go back.” She sighed softly and said, “Do what you want, I will always support you.” I smile and she adds, “I love you.” My smile widens and I say, “I love you too and will go see you soon.” I end the call and quickly grab my laptop.

I quickly begin to type my resignation letter and email it to my boss. I put my laptop on the counter then I made my way to the kitchen. I grabbed my ingredients and started making dinner. As I was finishing it there was a knock on my door. I slowly turned and took a deep breath. The scent that hit me made me happy but sad at the same time. I walked to the door and as I opened it I said, “Why are you here?” He gave me a soft smile and said, “I wanted to talk.” I sigh and let him come in. He enters and says as he sniffs the air, “If I caught you in a bad moment I can leave.” I sigh then say as I close the door, “It’s okay, I was almost done.” He smiles and nods his head. I begin to walk to the kitchen and he follows me. I begin to put the food on two plates and say, “Will you have dinner with me?” He smiles and says as he blushes, “Of course.” I blush and smile at his cute reaction. 

I was about to grab the plates when he took them from my hand and said, “I can help you too.” I close my eyes as I feel my heart beating loudly then say, “Thank you.” He walks away and I go to the wine cabinet to grab wine and glasses. When I get to the table he is placing the plates down and I say as I smile at him, “Do you like wine?” He looks up at me and says with a smile, “Yes.” I place the glasses down and as I was about to open the wine he grabs it and says, “I can do this too.” His hand grazed mine and I felt the tingling sensation so I retracted my hand immediately. He had a sad look and said, “Sorry.” I felt my heart ache seeing such a sad face on him and I said, “Sorry, it was my fault.” He opened the wine and poured us a glass. I sat down and said, “So, what do you want to talk about?” He sat across from me and said, “About you being my mate.” I took a bite of my food then said once I had chewed it, “Can we talk about that after we finish eating?” He nodded and took a bite of his food. He groaned and said, “This is amazing.” I blushed then said, “It’s just a stake.” He said as he took another bite, “This is one of the best stakes I have ever had.” I took another bite and said, “Then you have not eaten many stakes.” He smiles and says, “Where did you learn how to cook this?” I say as I take another bite, “I dated a chef once.” He gave me a quick glare and I smiled seeing him jealous. He blushed and said, “I’m sorry.” I finished eating as I said, “I don’t blame you for being jealous, it’s part of your genes.” He shook his head and said, “I usually don’t get jealous.” I got up and grabbed my plate then walked away. He followed soon after me. I washed the dishes and said, “Since we are done, let’s go to the living room to talk.” He followed me silently.

I sat on one of the couches and he sat on the other one a bit far away from me. I was wearing a tank top and short-shorts. I lifted my legs on the couch and said, “Ask away.” He looked at me then looked away immediately as he saw my legs. I smiled and said, “What is a mate to you?” He looked me in the eyes and said, “A mate is someone that is given to us to cherish, love and protect. She is our equal and our peace, she is our everything.” I felt my heart ache hearing his sincere words and realizing that he loved me unconditionally. I got up and said, “That is not possible.” He got up and walked up to me then said, “Let me show you it is.” I turned away from him but he embraced me and said softly in my ear, “You are more special to me than anyone else. You are my life and without you I will die.” I felt happy hearing his words but I said softly, “I can’t reciprocate your feelings.” He turned me around and said looking deep in my eyes, “That’s bullshit and we both know it.” I looked away and said, “No, it isn’t.” He pulled me closer to him and said, “Want to test it out?” My eyes widened and I tried to move away but he held me in place firmly. He got impossibly close to me and said softly only centimeters away from my lips, “Then reject me and end my suffering.” I closed my eyes and said, “How do I do that?” He froze and then he slowly let me go. I felt scared and when I opened my eyes he had a sad smile and he said as he handed me my sword, “Pierce my heart and tell me that you will never love me.” I grabbed the sword and seeing his sad face I dropped the sword on the floor. I closed my eyes and said, “You should leave.” He walked up to me then said, “Please end my suffering now.” He knelt before me and I felt my heart breaking. 

I lifted his head and saw his eyes closed but tears were falling. I closed my eyes and gave him a kiss as tears fell down my face. He immediately grabbed me and deepened the kiss. I was breathless when he let go of me. I covered my face with my hands and said softly, “You should leave.” He said softly, “I don’t want to be away from you.” I slowly removed my hands and said, “I can’t be with you.” He grabbed my face tenderly and said, “I can wait if that is what you want.” I closed my eyes and said, “I’m a vampire. I can’t be the mate of a werewolf.” He smiled and said, “I’m a werewolf Alpha and one of the most powerful.” I ran my fingers through my hair and said, “That does not make it any better.” He smiled and said, “We can talk about this for as long as you want.” I smiled then said as I sat down on the couch, “Let’s talk about something else.” He smiled and sat next to me while holding my hand.
