Bite Me Mr Vampire.

Our Kind.

Damien's POV.

With my chest full of pride, I c**k my eyebrow at her as I await her answer. I had thought deeply about our situation and although I am not experienced in the relationship aspect, I would like to give it a try.

"You have to be kidding me" She shakes her head and jumps down from her stool, walking back to the living room.

"I'm really not" I yell with a frown. She turns to look at me, her hands going to her waist.

"That is not how these things work, Damien. You can't just go into a relationship with someone like that"

"Why not?"

"Your feelings aren't validated yet. You only want a relationship so you can kiss me" She frowns.

"No. Not just that" I stand up from my stool and stalk towards her, causing her to take a step back. I don't stop walking until I am so close to her, that I have to look down at her. As I look down at her, I smile to myself as I use my eyes to roam her features. Her big doe eyes are so wide and her corneas are so white. Her hair has little curls at the sides that are a little shorter than others so they fall over her forehead and temple often. As if reading my mind, she uses her hand to push back the stray curls and tuck them behind her ears. As my eyes move back to hers, she looks away, taking a deep breath.

"What else then?" She mutters.

"I want to be able to hold you...." I respond without trepidation, my hands slowly moving to her waist, where her own hand is placed. I rest my hand over hers on her waist and squeeze it softly "....without having to worry about anything. I want to be able to call you mine, kitten"

There is a look I can't quite decipher in Persephone's eyes. Like a mixture of hurt, worry and confusion. She begins to shake her head.

"Damien...that is not possible. I am not like you--"

"I don't want someone who is like me. I never did" I confirm, silently hoping that it would make her feel better.

It does not.

The look that was present in her eyes are now gone, leaving them cold and empty.

"It cannot happen Damien. I don't want it to" With that, she turns around and walks in the direction of her room, slamming the door shut in her rear.

I have singlehandedly managed to double the f****d up situation of things.

I thought about it, I thought I had found the solution to all this. I guess my expectation was that she would be happy to be called mine, but what I was not careful to note was my approach. It seemed like I was imposing everything on her. I did not even ask if she felt the same way. She was right, she is nothing like me, in fact we happen to be polar opposites. She is fragile and small and has little to no experience when it comes to the real world. My world. Another thing is the fact that she had just escaped a near death experience.

Now I understand how insensitive I must have sounded.

Say she accepted, what next?

Was I to still keep her cooped up in the house forever because there is nothing but danger out there for her? Making her mine also meant that she would become the Godmother of the clan.

Fuck I should have thought of that before I marked her.

I marked her.

As I come to the realization of this fact, I realize that I might have truly made a mistake. She is mine already because I have marked her which means that she is already the Godmother of this clan.

She just does not know yet.

I feel a sudden wave behind me and with a frown, I turn around to see who is behind me.

"Hey D" The redhead smiles.

"You t**t" I snap "I've told you several times not to teleport to my house''

Teleportation causes a wave and depending on the how far the destination is, the wave is capable of breaking everything in its path. I frown at the boy in front of me, Lyric, my little brother. He is clad in leather from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet, with several piercings on his face and ears.

He looks like an irresponsible college brat.

"Its not from far. I'm coming from Lizbeth's" His eyes sparkle as he mentions her name. His hardcore best friend that he has secretly been in love with for centuries.

"Still. Don't do it. Why are you here?"

"Aww, c'mon D. I literally just got back from the Academy, won't you give me a welcome hug?" He spreads out his arms, with a teasing smirk on his face.

"Why are you back?" I ignore his last statement and walk to the living room, sitting on my ottoman chair. "The session isn't over yet"

"I came to see Lizbeth" He smiles "And of course you too"

Picking up the remote, I turn on the Tv, completely ignoring the exuberant teenager behind me. Lee has been in the Academy for a few years. It was our Dad's idea to send him there so he could use his energy and enthusiasm for the good of the clan. I barely show it, but the boy has made me proud ever since he was sent there.

"You have a visitor?" I hear his voice and immediately turn around. I see him stalking in the direction of Persephone's room, while sniffing her scent. "Who is i--"

I grab him by the shoulder, throwing him to the opposite wall. "What do you think you're doing?" I sneer.

"Woah, D. I was just checking" He groans, pressing his shoulder to soothe the pain while muttering something along the lines of "that was totally unnecessary"

"Forget it. Don't go there" I say sternly, going back to the couch.

"But you have a visitor, a girl?"

"Leave it"

"That's a first. You seem to care so much about this one" He leans off the wall and comes over to the couch.

Lee is very aware about my past servants and how I normally treat them so I can excuse his concern about this one.

We sit together in silence for a while, deep in thought. For a moment I had even forgot that he was there until I heard his low voice.

"I heard what happened to the Border"

"It has been taken care of though"

"Did we loose any men?"

"No"

He turns to look at me, concern etched onto his features. I can already tell what he is thinking about.

"What if Aiden strikes agai--"

"We'll handle it again. You just have to focus on the Academy okay?"

"Yea, okay"

We hear a door slam shut and both our heads turn in the direction of the sound. Persephone stands in the hall way, looking dumbfounded at the sight of Lyric.

"Who is that?" His charming smile that he supposedly uses to capture the hearts of girls, rises to his face and he stands. He begins to walk towards her. "Hi buttercup"

Persephone visibly scrunches up her nose at the nickname, which earns a chuckle from me.

"Persephone" She corrects him so boldly, it causes me to turn in her direction. She was not this bold when we met. I have to admit, seeing her with so much fire in her eyes does some questionable things to my heart.

"Oh. Hi Persephone, I'm Lyric. You can call me Lee" He stares her down. The fucker is not even courteous enough to be discreet when checking her out. Well, I can't blame him, its in the blood. I am also quite bold with women.

"Hi Lyric" Persephone purposely ignores the fact that he gave her the opportunity to call him by his nickname. This puts him off, I can tell by the way he steps back and shoves his hands into his pockets.

For a normal guy, hands in the pocket may be seen as trying to look cool but for Lee, it is a nervous tick. He is probably clamping his nails together in those pockets of his. In his history of flirting, nobody has ever treated him with so much indifference before.

Persephone suddenly turns to look at me but she deliberately avoids my eyes. "I'm going to feed the butterflies" she turns and walks out to the back.

"The f**k was that?" Lee asks when we are finally alone.

"Did you offend her or something. Wait, you even let her feed your butterflies? The f**k is going on right now?"

He stares at me with wide surprised eyes.

"Did I or did I not tell you to leave this issue, Lee?"

"Well, you told me to but I can't. It's too serious to let go. She's not our kind, is she? Her scent is different, stronger. Is she a human? Doesn't smell like one, oh wait....maybe a wolf the---"

"Oh for Pete's sake Lee!. Drop it."

"You might not notice but your persistence in getting me to drop this topic makes it more suspicious. Makes me wanna probe even more. But I'll drop it....for your sake" he eyes me skeptically. "But D...you do know the dangers of getting involved with humans right? The clan will never accept a Godmother that is human. That chaos led us to were we are in the first place"

"She is not human" I simply say.

"No? What is she then?"

"I'm yet to find out. That is why she is here"

A lie.

"Ahh...." He nods "well I hope you find out soon. I've got to go back to the Academy, but I'll stop by Lizbeth's---"

"Why don't you just marry Lizbeth, you t**t?!"

He laughs, standing up and walking towards the door. I can already tell that he wants to teleport again. It is like he never walks on land "Should I?" He asks quizzically.

"Don't f*****g wind agai--" Before I can even finish my statement, he winds. That f*****g brat.

I turn off the Tv, and head to my room. I really wouldn't want to make Persephone uncomfortable when she comes back inside. I know she's still angry with me. I shut my room door behind me and move to sit at the edge of my bed. I hear the front door slam shut, signaling Persephone is back inside. I am partly expecting to hear her room door slam shut too but instead, I hear a soft knock on my door.

I walk to the door and open it to see Persephone on the other side with a frown on her face.

"Hey" I give her a surprised smile.

"Let's do it" She says

"What?" I stare dumbly at her

"A relationship" she jerks her chin in the air "Its not the normal kind of relationship but I'm willing to try it with you, so...."

"What kind of relationship do you want, kitten? Its up to you" I tell her.

"I dunno, our kind"
