Only once

Chapter 9

Serena

The moment our eyes met was like all the dreams I have ever seen up until a few days ago had finally manifested into reality.

I was so overwhelmed with excitement and fear I did the only thing I could think of...

Run..

I ran as fast as my legs could carry me and for the first time ever it was beyond my expectations.

I blinked and I was already inside my cave.

I sat in the darkest corner thinking about what just happened, but than I smelled someone.

By the smell of things it was two females and a male?

I'm sure I only saw him earlier...

But the moment he stood in front of me I realized it wasn't my sense that was wrong it was two females and a males scent, it was just that he...

The man in my dreams was covered in a woman's scent...

Since I came here I had realized I was definitely different and being the Supernatural Romance Buff I was made me remember all the stories of werewolves and vampire finding their mates, and in one book it's said if you dream about another person, specially a male he is your mate...

Because your souls were one...

Or so the book said.

If I was a vampire, and than suddenly started dreaming about this man it had to be the mating bond.

And because of this, smelling some other b***h all over what was supposed to be mine made my blood boil and before I got my senses I had already grabbed him by the neck.

"Who are you, and why have you come?"

The female, who was definitely not a wolf or vampire spoke.

"We have come to take you home.."

Home..

Hmpff..

I won't go anywhere he and his filthy b***h is.

"This is my home, now take your filthy friend here and leave before I kill you both..."

And with that I threw him against the wall.

I was shocked when I hear him grunt as he hit the wall.

I didn't mean to hurt him...

I was about to retreat when a sudden pain eloped my heart and than I was out.

When I woke up again I was inside my old room.

Things here haven't changed one bit.

Im the corner I see my mother and father sitting.

They looked exactly the way I remembered.

This was proof of my vampirism.

"Serena, finally... You are awake..."

My mother saw me wake up and headed to my bed side.

"Hi mom... Why... I..."

She smiled softly.

"It doesn't matter, you are home and we are finally a family again... How we missed you..."

I see my father as he tries to hide his tears.

He was a really soft man.

He could never hurt a single soul.

He see me eyeing him than walked over and kissed my head.

" Welcome home baby... "

I was so happy.

Days turned and soon it was a week since I got back but the man who saved me was no where to be found.

I asked father one night.

Father said he was gone on a secret mission and that once he returns we will have a thanks giving party for him.

My parents told me the truth about everything and facts was different from what I imagined.

I wasn't the so called Covid-19 baby, I was actually the first and only true blood vampire born from a vampire father and human mother.

This was honestly scary but made almost all the sense in the world because I understand why my childhood was weird.

I asked about my friend Andrea and dad said she died after not comlpeting the transformation the day we were taken away.

He said that its been 7 months here but I told him in the other worlds it was 1000 years.

I gathered from Michelle the head witch and also the woman who knocked me out that I was stuck inside a time laps world where time runs at 100 split second and that's why it felt so long.

I never asked about the man or the mating bond until today.

I was having supper with my family when the nauseating scent from that day that was all over him was in font of me.

Annabel Marches...

My aunt and uncles adopted daughter.

God I hate her.

We met once before and that was when I was around 8 but she looks the exact same and the only difference is her red hair it was more red than i remembered but I couldn't care less.

Now the matter at hand was the bond.

"So dad... I wanted to ask... Do we vampire have a mate.. You know like werewolves and so on...?"

He looked at me and than at Annabel.

I saw something.

"Yes... But... You can always choose a mate.. Its something that is way better than the betrayal of a given mate..."

I looked at Annabel.

She looked pale.

"O and why do you say that...?"

Came my aunts voice.

I looked at her.

She looked upset.

My father gave a small smirk.

"Well.. If you must know ask Annabel.. I am sure she will have a good answer..."

My aunt turned white.

She definitely knows something and so does my father.

"Dad.. I don't want to cause trouble, I just wanted to know.."

He smiled and waved it of and took a sip of his wine.

Aka blood wine.

Urg.

I was happy I was used to drinking animal blood because I couldn't stomach the thought of drinking human blood.

The rest of the dinner everyone was quite.

Annabel left and her mother had a talk with my father and than everyone left.

I had to find that man.

Michelle was the most likely person to ask but how do I ask without her sensing the bond thing.

She was a head witch after all.

The next few days werw long and tiring because my father had insisted I start training on the basic of martial arts.

Being alone all that time has taught me alot and I was able to protect myself from animal attacks but humans, vampire and werewolves were different.

They moved faster, were much stronger and could easily counter any of my defenses or attacks.

I was training with Gabriel when I was caught of guard by his smell.

Yes..

The mate bond was beyond normal, because I was a pure blood it kicked in the moment I had my first ovulation.

Yes.

I had ovulationand and menstruation, it wasn't normal because of the fact that I was a vampire but my mother said it might be because i was part human, and she wasn't sure what's going on because I was the first vampire that has succeeded in being born and transsitioning in nearly 100 centuries.

I had to asked Michelle when she returned.

He took a step back as he was passing and looking at his eyes fixated on mine I was sure he felt it two.

Gabriel had used this opportunity to do a sneak attack and moments later I was on the ground.

"See... I told you never take your eyes off the enemy..."

"Okay.. I get it, now get of me.."

I looked at where he was standing but he was gone.

"Who is that.."

Gabriel looked around and than at me.

"You mean the tall man who you were eyeing earlier..."

I gave him a warning look.

"Zeeshan... He is the son of the royal advisor... He was the one who lost and found you..."

He said and the word lost and found was what made no sense.

"What do you mean, lost and found.. Am I a puppy or something..?"

He started laughing..

"Yes you definitely fight like a puppy... He was second in command on the day of your extraction.. He made a mistake and that why you were sent to the 18 th nebula... Stupid idiot.."

He said and I saw him get angry.

Than suddenly I had a flash back.

Now I remember.

He was the guy who gave me that table that day.

Maybe I am wrong.

I remember him in that place because he was the last person I saw before I was sent away.

Maybe it's not the matting bond.

I suddenly felt to upset to continue my training.

I walked out and headed to Michelle's office.

She might be back.

she might know more about me and my species.

If I can put it that way.

I was the only one of my kind.

And maybe she can fill me in on Zeeshan.

His name was so beautiful.

I kept saying it over and over again.

Zeeshan.

Lets hope I am wrong about the everything...

Or right...

Having him as my mate..

Dam..

I won't mind...
