His Crimson Mate

Whoops

(Hadeon's POV)

I held Janessa in my arms, and for a moment, all the worries in the world melted away. Her scent wrapped me tight and kept me calm. Her beauty was indescribable, but her passion? Her passion was something that drew me towards her. It was deeper than needing to feel the desires of my manhood. Something deep within me wanted to grant her every need. I don't want to feel this way, I hate it actually, but right here, right now, I just wanted to make all her dreams come true.

At that moment, I wanted to run away from all the drama and scheming, and fulfill her every desire, and I don't mean strictly s****l. She makes me want to be the Alpha, Lucas and I used to talk about becoming one day. Looking into her eyes as we swayed to the music made me remember the ambitions I had as a pup to fix the darkness in the world.

Looking into her eyes made me realize I had become that darkness I had always hated, and in her arms, I almost didn't want to be. I knew I wouldn't feel like this forever, but on this boat, in the middle of this deep water, I left all of the Death Shadow drama behind.

After dancing to a few slow songs, Janessa and I walked over to the edge of the boat and peered over the railing. The boat had stopped moving and rocked gently against the dark, night waters. There were no boats for miles and the stars in the sky gave me a feeling of comfort. Comfort wasn't something I've felt often, if ever. It's not a luxury I have been awarded throughout my life, but at this moment I wanted to accept it wholeheartedly.

I pressed the front of my body against Janessa's back as she held onto the railing. Her body tensed but she did not push me away. "This is beautiful," she sighed as her body relaxed into me. I looked down on her, which for most males I am sure was hard to do with her 5'10 frame, but at my height, I had the perfect view.

"Yes, it is," I whispered as I got lost in her beauty. Her light brown eyes, cute button nose, and full lips made me want to kiss her and never let go. I knew all this was the mate bond talking, but for some reason, out on this boat, away from the craziness of the world, I didn't care.

Janessa caught me staring at her and cleared her throat. A light blush crept onto her cheeks. "I see you have pulled all the stops for some p***y," Janessa said with a smirk. I was slightly taken aback because, for once, I wasn't even thinking about s*x, even though I couldn't stop the involuntary boner that began to grow from her statement.

I smirked and leaned into her ear, "Why, is it working?" I asked while running my nose up and down her neck, taking in her addicting scent. That was when I smelled something sweet. Her arousal. She spun around in my arms and looked me in the eyes. I could see a swirl of emotions there, but the main one was lust. I knew my mate wasn't innocent, I could long tell. It didn't bother me any. I don't have the patience to take someone's virginity, but the way she feels in my arms makes me almost want to be... gentle? No, that can't be it.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and I began to leave soft kisses down her neck. I'm not sure where this softness was coming from, but I loved the way her body responded to it.

Suddenly, the boat was almost knocked on its side by blunt force. I hollered as my body was flung to the side. I hit my head on the nearby railing and rolled to the floor. "Janessa!" I shouted in fear as I watched her body being tossed like a rag doll. It all happened so fast I couldn't protect her.

After getting off the floor, I ran to her and pulled her into my arms. "W-what's happening?" she asked in confusion. Were we in some sort of accident? I noticed Janessa sniffing the air repeatedly. "Do you smell that?" she asked. I took a couple of whiffs of the air and that's when I smelled it. A stench that you can not ignore. The stench of rotting flesh.

"Vampires!" I growled, immediately becoming on the defensive and quickly checking my surroundings. We heard a loud scream from what sounded like the human captain and then another scream before everything went silent.

Janessa and I were now standing in the middle of the deck, back to back, waiting for an attack. Slow footsteps began to emerge from the bow of the boat. Three vampires appeared before our eyes. They bared their fangs as they took slow menacing steps toward us. I tried to shield Janessa with my body but she refused to back down.

No words were exchanged as two out of the three vampires attacked me immediately. The first vampire dug its sharp nails into my shoulder. I elongated my claws, and with as much force as possible, I shoved my hand up past my wrist into his chest. I had no time for games because my natural instinct was to protect Janessa.

I ripped my arm out of his chest, taking his heart with me. Throwing his heart on the ground, I prepared for the next attack. Before the vampire could reach me, Janessa made one clean slice across his throat. The look of shock in his eyes was satisfying as we watched him gasp for air and then collapse to the ground.

Before I could look at Janessa with pride, the third vampire jumped on my back. The cold, dainty arms around my neck let me know she was female. Even though she was strong, I was stronger. I reached back and grabbed her by her hair and pulled her forward over my shoulder.

I wrapped my massive hands around her thin neck and began to squeeze tightly. She grabbed and scratched my arms, using her sharp nails to tear at my skin, but I didn't loosen my grip. Her scratches became lighter as I watched her life begin to slip from her eyes. That was my favorite part of killing someone up close. The vacant look in their eyes at the end was the most gratifying.

"Stop!" I heard Janessa shout from above me. I looked up at her in shock, she can't be showing compassion to someone trying to attack. But the twisted smirk on her face told me there was no compassion. "Bring her over here and tie her to the chair. We need answers," Janessa commanded, and I found myself doing exactly as she said.

After the female vampire was strapped to one of the dining chairs, Janessa circled her while playing with a jagged knife between her fingers. "I will ask you one time and one time only, who sent you," Janessa stated intimidatingly as she hovered over the vampire. "f**k you!" the vampire shouted before she spat at her feet.

Janessa smirked and I was even a little disturbed. A dark aura I had never witnessed before seemed to appear around my mate. She smiled as she leaned forward, "I hoped you would say that," Janessa stated before she rammed the dagger into the vampire's leg. She screamed in agony as Janessa roughly ripped it out again.

Then she walked to her other side and did the same to her other leg. Janessa began deeply stabbing the vampire, then roughly tearing the knife from her body. After only a couple of minutes, blood poured from the vampire's body and Janessa looked nowhere near finished.

I watched my mate viciously go to work slicing, dicing, and torturing the vampire. I almost asked for her to stop so we could finish questioning, but I opted against it.

Suddenly, Janessa drew back and then shoved her knife deep into the vampire's eye. "Ahhh!!!" the vampire screamed in agony. "Please, please, stop! I'll talk, I'll talk," the vampire panted. She looked like she was on the verge of passing out. "Very well. You heard my original question, now answer it," Janessa said coldly while backing away, leaving the knife protruding from the vampire's eye socket.

"I-It was the vampire king. H-he said the Death Shadow Pack wasn't properly looking after the sacrifice, and she needed to be extracted alive and kept safe for the Death Moon. That is all I know, I swear," the vampire blurted out in a panic. Something in me roared in anger. How dare those disgusting bloodsuckers try to insult me!

I was enraged by the thought of the vampires thinking they could take what's mine! Furthermore, how dare they send someone to attack me! Who did they think I was? And how did they know we were out here on the boat tonight? I looked at the vampire and growled. I wanted to rip her apart to release some of this rage.

"See that wasn't so hard, now was it?" the condensing voice of my mate asked. The vampire shook her head no before Janessa painfully ripped the dagger from her skull, taking her eyeball with it. Blood squirted out of the socket as she screamed in agony. Janessa turned to me and looked me in the eyes. I could see she was all business.

"Grab the bodies and put them in a pile. We will burn them on the deck to the point of unrecognition, then we will throw them into the ocean," Janessa stated drily. I was shocked and completely turned on by the way she was handling herself, but I complied.

I found the waiter and the captain near the front of the boat with their throats ripped out of their necks. I quickly swung them over my shoulders and carried them towards the deck. I dropped their bodies in front of Janessa and then proceeded to grab the two dead vampires.

"Such a shame," Janessa stated sadly as she looked down at the two dead humans, then her eyes quickly hardened again. "What are we going to do with her?" I asked as I dropped the two vampire bodies into the pile. I looked over, referring to the tortured vampire still slumped in the chair.

"Tie her arms and legs together and throw her on top of the pile," she stated with no emotions in her voice. I was shocked as I looked at my mate with admiration, as if seeing her for the first time. I quickly went over to the remaining vampire to do as she said.

After throwing her onto the pile, Janessa began dumping some sort of gas onto the body, then she lit a match. We watched the bodies go up in flames. It was almost like standing near a campfire as the flames began to rise into the night sky. I walked up to Janessa and wrapped her in my arms, taking in her scent that was now mixed with blood.

We stood and listened to the tormented screams of the burning vampire until they went silent and the flames died down. We looked down at the five bodies that were piled on top of one another. You could barely tell one from the other as they were all burnt to a crisp.

The smell of burning flesh wafted into the cold night air. "Get rid of them," she stated coldly. I moved immediately. Zeus was quick to obey and I wasn't about to stop him. I easily dumped five bodies into the ocean and then turned to look at my mate. She was covered in blood and looked to be in some sort of trance. I, too, was covered in blood and knew what I needed to do.

I grabbed Janessa's hand and she didn't protest, it was almost like her mind wasn't present. I walked her down the steps to the living quarters and into the master bedroom. There was a large king-sized bed, an armoire, and a small bathroom. I walked her into the bathroom and began to run the shower.

She still seemed out of it and I needed to get her attention before I began to undress her. I grabbed her face with both hands and began to gently caress her cheeks. "Janessa," I called to her. Her eyes seemed to finally focus on me and she looked me up and down before crashing her lips onto mine. I was taken aback only for a moment before I grabbed the back of her head to deepen the kiss. This was our first kiss and it was hungry and needy. The thought of her torturing that vampire turned me on more than I could admit to her.

I pulled her into the steaming shower fully clothed as I let my hands explore her perfect body. I began to tear at the zipper on the back of the dress before it fell into a pile on the shower floor. I took a step back to admire her curves clad in black lace lingerie. I didn't realize how starved I was for her body, and I needed to taste every inch of her.

She roughly ripped the buttons of my suit vest and shirt before sliding them off my shoulders to the floor. She began to unbutton my pants and I quickly grabbed her wrist. She looked at me in confusion and I looked into her eyes to make sure this was what she wanted.

After all the anticipation for this moment, I can't believe I am stopping to make sure she's ready. I mentally wanted to kick myself, but I still needed her full consent. Janessa smirked mischievously before she unbuttoned my pants and slid them off. I stepped out of them right before she pulled me into another hungry kiss.

I was losing my senses as I slammed her back roughly against the smooth wall of the shower. She let out a soft moan as I broke the kiss and began to leave kisses along the stream of water down to her breasts. Gone was the gentleness, I was hungry and I needed more.

I began to roughly suck and bite her neck and chest. Zeus was on edge and this was the most he has ever been interested in my sexcapades. I let out a low growl as her intoxicating scent consumed my senses. "We need her! Make her ours now!" Zeus grunted in my mind, and for the first time in a while, I agreed with him completely.

I ripped her bra off as her plump breasts spilled out and the water began to hit her sensitive, hard n*****s. I took a pebbled n****e into my mouth and began to lick, suck and pull on it. Janessa threw her head back in ecstasy as she ran her fingers all over my tattooed chest.

"Hadeon" Janessa moaned out, and my name on her tongue did something to the beast inside me. I hooked my fingers around her panty line and ripped them off her body, exposing her completely bare in front of me. I licked my lips hungrily at the sight of her tantalizing body. My breath caught in my throat when I realized I was mated to a goddess.

Her delicate hands reached forward and began to massage the bulge of my boxers. The sparks that erupted everywhere our skin touched made me lightheaded and I knew I needed to taste her. I wrapped my hand around her throat and squeezed it tight. I tried not to be too rough, but the beast inside couldn't help it. The look of desire in her eyes encouraged me to go further. I took my other hand and lightly trailed it down her stomach until I reached the dripping treasure between her legs.

I began to rub small circles on her pearl as I began to feel it swell immediately. She moaned and tried to squirm a bit, but I tightened my hold on her neck, sending her a warning glare not to move. I felt some more juices gush from her slit and used them to further message her glistening gem. I decided to slide a finger in to get a gauge of how tight she was.

After a quarter of my middle finger went inside her core, I felt a sharp stab on my finger. "s**t!" I exclaimed as I quickly removed my finger and put it to my lips. Her delicious taste coated my fingers as well as the taste of my blood. I pulled my finger from my mouth and examined a small cut on my finger already closing. What the hell? I looked at Janessa with confusion. She gave me a guilty look before she chuckled nervously and said, "Whoops!"
