My Vampire Mate

Realization

I went to bed shortly after my conversation Rana, I’ll meet Nicholi in the morning. Most vampires do not sleep. There is something about this generation of Vampires, it changed.

I fell asleep to the sound of a raging thunderstorm, on my very comfortable silk sheets.

I had a dream, my first in a while. I was walking through town, just passing my favorite bookshop. It has a white and blue awning out front, and rows upon rows of books. It’s the leathery smell of the old, yellowing books that draws me in every time. I caught sight of an enormous man with jet black spiky hair, and lots of tattoos. He was massive!

I couldn’t see his face, he was turned and talking to someone. I could not hear over the sound of the garbage truck at the stop light. So I walked to the end of the antique store near the bookshop. I could still only see his back, and a little more of his left side. He has a nasty scar above his left forearm. It looked pretty deep and it was about four inches long.

I turned around to go to my car. I heard movement behind me so I turned around. Before I could do anything, I had a bag shoved over my head.

I screamed but was thrown over someone’s massive, rock hard shoulder, before being knocked out.

I sat straight up in bed, panting. What the actual f**k?! It’s just a dream Lila, just a dream.

I laid back down and tried to fall asleep. Starting at the ceiling wasn’t helping so I decided to go downstairs.

I went to the kitchen and found some AB+, grabbed a straw and took a seat. Nicholi and Rana came in a moment later.

“Hey Lila, I’m glad you’re here, Nicholi and I are bored.” Rana said, as she slumped into the chair across from me. Nicholi stood next to her.

Then, everything went black. We heard a window shatter and a loud scream. “What the f**k just happened?” I asked.

Our head chef came running into the kitchen with her hand wrapped. “So sorry Lila, when the lights went out, I jumped and my hand hit one of the glass panels on the cabinet I was looking in.”

“Let’s get you cleaned up Hazel, are you alright?” I asked while we cleaned her hand. “I’m fine, I’m sorry to be such a bother.” She said as we wrapped her hand.

“Nonsense, no bother at all. Be careful with that hand.” I said as she exited the kitchen.

“Why did the power go off though. Good thing we can see in the dark. Let’s go find out what happened.” Nicholi said excitedly.

The three of us walked to the basement where the breaker box is. Nothing tripped, everything was alright. We walked back upstairs and out the back door.

Nicholi immediately pushed us behind him. “Go inside and wait, let me go find out what’s going on.” He kissed Rana on the forehead and disappeared.

“Why is everyone always acting like we are a bunch of pansy asses? We can handle ourselves just fine.” I demanded.

“Please, let’s just wait for Nicholi. That’s what he originally came here for.” Rana begged.

We were talking about what Italy might be like, when the back door swung open.

Rana jumped up, ready to defend me. In a very deep, creepy as f**k voice, someone asked, “where is she?”

“She isn’t here. Go tell your Alpha to leave us the f**k alone!” Rana yelled at the intruder.

She was suddenly tossed aside, much like a dirty rag doll. The man grabbed me and flung me over his shoulder. I began hitting his back and kicking him anywhere I could land a blow. It did absolutely nothing.

He ran out the front door, around the right side of the house and to the south. I knew I could just bite him, make him weak, then I could take him. Instead I asked, “Where are you taking me?” He huffed and said, “You’ll find out soon enough.”

I continued my assault but kept thinking, what if I could end this? What if I could put a stop to the potential war, just by allowing this oaf to take me? So I allowed him to take me back to his stupid alpha.

Back at Salvatori Manor

“Where is my daughter Nicholi?” Aleister Salvatori questioned.

“I was taking down some mutts just behind the house. One of them came from the south, we were focused on where the mass of them were coming from. They sent about 50 wolves this time.

He came into the house, knocked Rana out and took Lila, I’m assuming he went south. Non of them came from the south. I have sent a tracker, and Dorian has already sent your tracker.” Nicholi responded.

“Very well. Are the trackers communicating with someone?” Aleister replied.

“I can talk to Antonio, I have telepathy. He is traveling south towards Germantown.” Nicholi said as he grabbed a map off Aleisters desk.

“There is a very large pack with a powerful alpha in Saugerties. I hope that’s not where she is. You may get the war you’ve predicted Nicholi. Come, let’s head that way.” Aleister demanded.

Lilas point of view

“Are we there yet, I have to pee?” Lila asked, rolling her eyes. “I could get us there much faster. Would you like me to carry you?” She teased.

He suddenly stopped running and dropped to his knees. “This is our destination? Where are we?” Lila asked.

“We are taking a short break. Give me your sleeve.” The man said as he ripped her sleeve off.

“What, no!” Lila shrieked. “What the hell was that for?”

“We’re being tracked. Gotta throw them off. Name is Matt by the way. I’m not a bad guy, just doing my job. I won’t hurt you.” He extended his arm and threw the sleeve like a baseball. It went pretty far off to the right.

“I’m Lila. Who is ordering you to kidnap me, and why?”

“Alpha Saba. It’s a sensitive matter. He should be the one to explain. He has no intention of hurting you either, you have my word.” Matt replied.

“Can I walk the rest of the way? Of course I won’t go anywhere. I don’t even know where we are anymore.”

“Sure, just stay close.” Matt said, as they began walking.

I should have worn better shoes. What the hell am I doing?! I kept repeating over in my head. Good thing I don’t get cold, I’m half naked and in sandals!

I had just crawled out of bed after my nightmare. I was still wearing my tiny, black booty shorts, and my tight black, long sleeved t-shirt.

Now with one sleeve. I ripped the other one off and just dropped it. Matt didn’t seem to notice, or maybe he just knew they would be coming for me no matter what, and didn’t care. Who knows.

We soon came to a humongous black Iron gate. He tapped it three times, and another big oaf of a man opened it. “This is Lawrence.” Matt said. I just waived.

We walked for about half a mile, I could sense the other wolves nearby, watching. Stupid dogs, I thought.

When the mansion came into view, all that hatred towards the wolves around me, vanished. I was home. Whomever is inside that mansion is my mate! OH NO!

Just then, I was yanked backwards and thrown into a backseat. Right onto Dorians lap. “You’re ok!” He said and squeezed the s**t out of me!

“I’m perfectly fine. Thank you for coming.” I laughed. “Hello father. I’m happy to see you too.” I said as I kissed his cheek.

“Did that man tell you anything?” He asked me.

“Yes, actually. He said they just want to talk to me. They have no intention to hurt me.” I replied.

“Then why break into our home and snag you while you slept?” Dorian questioned.

“Because they are afraid of us maybe.” Was Nicholi’s response.

“No, they are definitely not afraid. I’d like to see what they want Father.” I said.

“NO! Drive!” My father yelled.

I know who my mate is now, I know this is his home. What do I do? Who do I talk to about this? When we get back to the manor, I will have Rana and Sabina, meet me in the garden. I have to tell them!

Rana and Sabina were waiting for me when we pulled up to the manor. “Come with me ladies” I said.

“I have something very important to discuss.” I explained.

“Why did you let that man take you?” Rana asked. “Don’t you dare say, to stop the potential war, you are who we’ve all been trying to keep safe!” Sabina warned.

“I went with him with the hope of finding out what they want. Also, hoping that it would put an end to the potential war.” I sheepishly admitted.

“I did more than that though! I know why they want me and who it is!” I yelled.

We walked into the greenhouse and sat on the ground near the center.

“It’s Alpha Sabastian Saba.” I said calmly.

“Oh s**t!” The girls replied in unison.

“The whole time, I was cursing them all and f*****g with Matt, my captor.” I started to explain.

“You know his name and became friends?” Sabina questioned. “Shush and listen. Pay attention!” I warned.

“I knew others were surrounding us and watching. It pissed me off until I got a glimpse of the mansion. It was like a wave of familiarity washed over me. It felt like home!” I gushed.

The girls just looked at me like I had four heads.

“Alpha Saba is my mate!” I cried.
