Blood Lust

Odinn's POV

Fangs, Michigan

It has been a week. A whole f*****g week and I'm no closer to finding out who the f**k was in my loft. Amora has been staying at my place so I could keep a watchful eye on her. She even brought Gracie to the flat so she didn’t have to go home and feed her.

Tension has been high since she moved in. Made worse by my blood lust as with her around all the time I am constantly hungry. My hunting has become less and less frequent and I get hangry a lot.

It's hard to hunt when Amora is around. She knows of my diet but I don't want her to have to see that side of me. If I'm gone for 4 hours a day hunting she will know something is wrong. She will know that I'm a beast, a murderer.

Today was no different. My throat was burning from not feeding and my head was pounding. I looked over the papers on my desk again but no matter how hard I try I can't seem to focus.

I've been trying to find out who could have been at the window. Whoever it was didn't leave a scent behind to follow and leads have come up short.

I growled in frustration and slammed my fist on the desk making it splinter a bit. I could hear the eye roll and sigh from across the room. Amora has been on my case about finding the person because she wants to go home.

"I dont want to hear it. You can't go home until I have found the person responsible. I want to make sure you are safe and the only way to do that is to make sure you are here where I can see you. So quit your bitching and let me look after you." I growled at her yet again as she folded her arms.

“If it's some jealous ex-girlfriend vamp you f****d or something, deal with it. I wasn’t planning on moving in with you after a month or so of dating.” She stood up from where she was sitting and started to walk away.

I grabbed her arm and spun her around before she reached the living room, “What do you think I’m doing?” I moved my face closer to hers, “You seriously think I’m just sitting here, jerking off?” I let go of her and shook my head, “I have more bodyguards near the stairs, I have them circling the whole goddamn bar! All for you!”

“I never asked for this! I never wanted… This.” Her voice was angry until the last word, she shook her head, tears forming, then she pushed me, “I’m in danger because of you!”

I let her push me, and then I held her hands that were on my chest, “You knew what I was and you kept coming back. That’s on you. I never forced you to come back you did that all on your own so dont you dare accuse me of putting you in danger.” I snarled. I knew it was harsh but I was hungry.

I expected her to argue back and show me her fire but she looked down, defeated, “If we were smart we would walk away…”

My heart twinged and I felt a bit guilty for not handling it properly. I reached out to hug her and her scent hit me harder than it had before and I felt the beast take over.

I pressed her against the wall, “I don’t wanna be smart.”

She let out a soft gasp and looked up at me, “Me either.”

I growled low in my throat and pinned her arms above her head. "Do you have any idea how much you frustrate me?" I asked and kissed her roughly.

My hips kept her legs pinned to the wall so she couldn't move.

I gripped her wrists tighter and snaked my arms around her waist before speeding her over to the bed. She had barely adjusted to the sudden movement when I was already removing my shirt.
