The Rogue's Mate

The Secret She Hid The Most

Riot was halfway through his meal when he noticed the tension between Raphael and Aiyana. She was sat opposite him at the table with her fingers laced and her eyes on her hands. She looked like she was concentrating hard on something but he didn't know what. He looked at Raphael who was glaring at her. If his eyes could burn holes through a person she'd be nothing than a pile of ash. "For f**k sake, Ana will you eat something!" raph snapped impatiently. Riot sat up, licked the amazingly good stew from his lips and looked at Raphael with a raised brow. Really riot wanted to kick his teeth in for raising his voice at Ana but he controlled the urge. What did surprise him was the carnal growl that left Ana's lips in response. His gaze now turnt to the woman opposite him. A rather shocked expression on his face. She wasn't wolven but she would sure as hell fit in. Her pupils were dilated as if she was on a type of high-end drug. She got to her feet and took a deep breath. "Will you quit acting as if you care? We both know you only want me in your bed!" she snapped, She was feisty, he loved it.

"At least if you were in my bed you'd be f*****g eating something!" Riot was becoming irritated by the vampire. So he tried to keep the peace. "Miss Ana, Maybe I can help." his deep voice rumbling as he spoke to her. Ana turnt to face him and he could already see the dread. "No, you cant. Give me a bag." she looked at Raphael who seemed to get angrier. "You know that's not going to f*****g work you need fresh, just go and hunt." Raph snapped scowling at her. Riot frowned a moment, not quite understanding what she meant by a bag and what raphael meant about needing fresh and to go and hunt. She wasn't a vampire. Riot interrupted once more. "Why not?" she said to anyone willing to answer. Ana gave Raphael a death stare who seemed to only smirk. "You haven't told him?" the vampire said. "Don't you f*****g dare." His mate spat.

Raphael looked at Riot and at that moment she knew the worst part of her affliction was about to be revealed to the only man who appealed to her. "When Ana feeds she needs to do so straight out of a person, The fresher the blood the stronger she is. Animal blood makes her sick. The problem is when Ana feed's she injects venom." He said. Ana tensed up and grit her teeth hard. "Raphael stop!" she shouted, authoritative. Riot simply had a confused look, She wasn't a vampire but she still needed to feed like one.

Raphael ignored her. "Ana's venom doesn't cause pain, it causes immense pleasure. Any human body that receives it builds until eventually, they are no more than an animal needing to breed, desperate, mindless, Moraless. Honestly, it's amazing she's still a virgin after all these years." he said, before looking directly at her. Smirking. Riot looked from Raphael to Ana, She looked furious. His mate had to drink blood, not only that her venom caused the recipient to want to f**k her mindless. What the f**k had she done to deserve such a curse?

Ana couldn't even look to her left at Riot, She felt her cheeks hot with embarrassment. She fought back the tears as she walked forward barging past the male and out the door. Once she was out of the male's sight she leapt into a jog and headed outside to her waiting MT09. She swung her leg over, turnt it on not caring about her helmet or gloves and pulled off heading back to her quaint flower shop. Away from everyone.
