Rejected By An Alpha, Wanted By A Vampire

" It's Blood" He Says

Vampires didn't like werewolves, it had always been like that for centuries. But the animosity Adrian's father had for them was much greater, it was because his younger sister had run away from home to marry a werewolf despite their parent's displeasure. This was how Adrian's cousin was born. Count Louis never once forgot his sister's betrayal, he despised the wolves, even more, when the vampire princess died while giving birth to her hybrid child.

However, it was the peaceful days now and both vampires and werewolves coexisted with each other in peace. Though both kept to their lands, they weren't any wars breaking out between them anymore. But just because they weren't fighting didn't mean they all liked each other.

" Your cousin is getting wedded, you will have to go on my behalf"

" You want me to go to a dog village?" Adrian felt disgusted at the mere thought of being in such proximity to a werewolf. The vampire had a great sense of smell and as far as he knew all werewolves smelt like mud and something rotten. This was why he couldn't stand being around his cousin much. " I don't want to go"

" You must" the king rose from his seat and approached him. " Look Adrian, I know it is unfair for me to tell you this now. But I have court matters to deal with and can not afford to travel to the Sunset Pack"

" Is there no one else you can send?"

" Unfortunately not. Go get ready" the man walks away before Adrian can try protesting again.

It wasn't a long journey to the Sunset Pack, at least not with their level of speed. But the vampire king had still insisted on the prince taking an entourage with him. Adrian was well capable of taking care of himself and didn't see the use in having all that security. But the moment he had stepped into the pack lands he realized that the guards weren't to protect him but to protect others from him. The whole place smelt of both werewolves and humans. The sweet tempting scent that came off of one girl almost drove him mad with longing, he wanted nothing more but to sink his teeth into the skin of her neck and drink up all the blood he could feel pumping through her veins.

The human feeders in his kingdom didn't smell as nice as the ones here did, maybe it was because they had been around vampires too long and their blood was losing its taste.

" Adrian, I am so happy you came," his cousin said as he came to greet him. Adrian gave him a simple nod.

" I feel the same cousin"

" Somehow I doubt that," Daniel said " I know you must be feeling uncomfortable with all those wolves around you. "

" They are no threat to me" he replied brushing off the hybrid's concern. " Congratulation on your choosing a mate"

" Thank you. Lucille is truly a special girl to me, plus with this reunion, we can bring our two packs together. When we reach the reception grounds I will introduce you too"

Adrian agrees, he has no interest in whoever this Lucille was but he wanted things to speed up so he could return to his kingdom. When evening reached Adrian and his men drove to the Rosette pack, it wasn't that far from the Sunset grounds and Adrian would have probably reached it had he gone on legs, but he did enjoy the silence the short ride provided with the absence of his chattering cousin.

Eyes were on them ( mostly him) as they exited their vehicles and approached where the ceremony was being held. Adrian could hear them whispering, the females only cooing about how handsome they were. Some were bold enough to whisper how much they desire him to take them to bed, to strip the clothes from their bodies, and....it was for this reason he tuned out his hearing, he didn't want to have to listen to all the dirty talks by people who didn't even know him. Plus, the room was filled with mostly werewolves so the smell of mud and dirt was all he could think about. It was so pungent it almost made him sick ( which wasn't possible since vampires didn't get sick). This must have been what his father was dreading when he decided to send Adrian in his place instead.

" Adrian" Daniel's voice called out to him. Adrian looked towards him to see that he was standing beside a silver-haired woman and an older couple, that must be the in-laws. It was only right that he go and greet them, even though he wasn't in the mood to socialize right now

" Greetings cousin, I believe these people are the in-laws"

" Well yes. This is my mate Lucille and her parents, the alpha and luna of the rosette pack"

" It is a pleasure to meet all of you," think Adrian, thinking of a compliment " Um, your hair is beautiful Lucile " it was an odd shade of silver, even among wolves that must be a rare color right?

" Uh..thank you so much" she blushed as he took her hand and placed a kiss on the back of her knuckles. He could feel her heart beating against her chest, he could also scent the ting of arousal coming from her. Was she getting aroused by him in front of her new mate? He couldn't help smirking at the thought, did Danny sense it too? " Danny has told us a lot about you"

" Am sure he has"

" Come on dude, don't act so arrogant" Danny's voice was very light when he said this. " How are you liking the celebration so far?"

" I just got here"

" Right, that means you're a bit late..." The alpha was interrupted by the arrival of another male. Adrian noticed the keening resemblance between the new male and his cousin's mate

" Hey, Danny you didn't tell me your cousin was coming. " Daniel opened his mouth to respond but was cut off by Damien once more. This time the aloha had turned his attention to Adrian. " It's nice to meet you"

" Pleasures all mine" he responded dryly

" I can't believe a real vampire is standing in front of me right now. Lisa should probably see you, you know she doesn't even believe in vampires? She thinks they're made up or s**t"

" Am sure Lisa would be excited once she sees you Adrian" Lucille said. Adrian gave a nod, he listened through the rest of their conversation in boredom. He responded with a few words when questions were thrown his way but all in all, didn't engage in the conversation. He was already tired of this place and wanted to go back home.

That was before a new woman arrived. The only reason he had even glanced her way was because of the sweet scent of blood that came from the glasses she held. She smelt just like the rest of them ( maybe just a little less pungent ), her eyes were a bright shade of brown and her short brown hair fell in curls on her shoulders. She was beautiful, not as outstanding as Danny's mate was but still beautiful. But Adrian was curious about why the wolf female was carrying a glass of blood.

" Damien, I brought you a drink" He heard her say handing the glass over to the annoying male. It seems they were in some kind of relationship with each other. It was odd, Adrian had noticed this same male with a blond girl not long before, he was sure the female also knew this.

" Wow, thanks babe" The gives her a smile wrapping a hand around her waist. Adrian can see expectation in the woman's eyes as she watched the male bring the glass to his lips. He almost had the urge to point out that the content wasn't wine. " Hm, what kind of wine is this?"

" That is no wine" he points out. Adrian is beginning to doubt whether or not werewolves had the keen sense of smell they were rumored to. "Blood," he said.

" Well, that explains the smell. Where did you get this babe? "

" I. I just took it from one of the waiters" there was a look of shock on her face " How about I go get you another glass?"

" I would like that. Thank you"

Adrian watches as she scurries off anxiously.

" It was my father that had this prepared for you. I don't know how the waiters could have served it to just anyone "

" It's fine Lucille," Damien said. He watched the content of his glass thoughtfully before turning to look at Adrian. " Um...do you want the drink?"

No, he doesn't. Adrian knows better than to accept blood from strangers, he has no idea which person it comes from, whether it is pure or infected. But the blood smells nice, so nice it makes his throat dry up. He doesn't even realize it but he had accepted the glass from the alpha. He twirls the content in the cup, watching it intently for anything suspicious. He finds none. Adrian brings the glass to his lips and the blood pours into his mouth, it tasted very delicious as it made its way down his throat

" No!!!"

He hears a scream. Adrian brings down the glass to look in the direction of where the scream had come from. He was met with the eyes of the female from earlier, except this time Adrian felt his breath catch in his throat. He feels his body warm up as heat rushed throughout his body. Had she always looked this beautiful? He wanted to touch her, smell her, taste her.

Adrian had to have her. And have her he shall
