at me. I brace myself for the impact. I open my eyes and He has disappeared. I sigh and sneeze. I feel him jump on my back. I roll over and He pins me down with his gaze. He growls at me and I whimper. I laugh a little and He snaps at me, shutting me up.
“What ARE you doing in my kingdom!?” He Screams at me mentally, making me squint
“I am new to this whole wolf thing but please don’t scream at me again.” I slide from underneath him sexually and He shivers but stares at me in hatred
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?” He Roars at me and steps forward as a warning
“I am just passing through. Running away from Vamps. Do you mind if I pass through?” I ask him staring at him with eyes of blue
“I MIND.” He smirks at me
“And why is that?” I ask him with a growl
“It is Mating season and you’re in heat” He digs his claws in the ground
“NO I AM NOT! I would have…” I realize I am as I argue
“See? Cant even keep a lid on your anger…” He circles me as if He is studying me for an experiment
“Am I being examined?” I ask as I stand straighter
“By me.” His wet, cold nose sniffs my neck
“Goodbye then.” I walk off in another direction
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you!” He yells
“Why not?” I just freeze but do not turn towards him
“Those Wolves in that Direction rape women.” He tells me
“Then can I go with you? Since you RULE this Kingdom?” I am in front of him in a flash
“Alright…We have to change into human form first.” I feel the air vibrate around him
I see it ripple and twist. I hear his bones reform and stretch. I see his features become more defined. I feel it become condensed as He stands up on his two legs. I close my eyes because it is rude to look upon a King naked if you’re not his lover. He bends down and I faint. I swear I blacked out. I felt him pick me up and carry me in his arms into his “Kingdom”.
I wake up in a soft bed. I yawn and wake up. As I rise involuntarily, the guy comes in the room. I yelp in surprise. I am only in a robe and it falls open. I rise and He walks over to give me a hug. He sure is warm though. Too cocky for my taste though. I hug him and He starts to vibrate. I push him away out of astonishment. He smirks and walks into the bathroom before me. He slams the door in my face.
“I WAS GOING IN THERE!” I growl at him
“I know sweetheart.” I feel shock as He calls me that
“Don’t call me that…” I say softly as I walk away
“Alright… What should I call you then?” He says behind me
“Call me…Oh my.” I turn around only to discover him in shorts
“Have you never seen a man without a shirt before?” He says roughly
“You would be my fourth. Call me Maddeline, ok Blaze?” I turn to walk out the door
His hand grabs my wrist and twists it painfully. “ How did you know my name? Who are you? Who sent you here?” I start to laugh
“I am very observant. It says your name on the shorts.” I bite his arm and He yells
Other men start to break the door down. I transform into a hybrid with my armor on. They back away as I growl menacingly. Blaze just tells them to calm down and not to change. I feel the air vibrate around someone behind them. I start to charge until I see a pup come from behind everyone. It runs out to me and starts to pounce on me. I play around with it as the Mother Comes to retrieve her pup. She growls at me and I begin to vibrate with anger. The pup licks my nose and I slide him over to his Mother. She says Thank You and leaves with the pup in tow. I change back and I hear whistles as I bend over to get my robe.
“B-Blaze?” I look up into his now red eyes
“Yes?” He growls at me
“Thank you…” I trail off
“For-?” He cant continue
I kiss him hard but stop and walk out of the cabin. He calls my name and I just flinch.
“Maddeline…where are you off to?” He appears in front of me
“I need to make things right with my Sire. And Another King. Let me pass.” I ask softly
“Promise me you will come back alright? Promise me that?” He hugs me
“I swear it.” I run off into the darkness
I reach Demetri’s house in about 2 days. As I walk up to his front door I feel my body become a Vampires’ again. I smile at myself as I knock on the door. A new maid (My replacement) answers the door.
“Hello how may I help you?” She asks
“How has Sire Demetri been treating you?” I ask her slowly
“Better now that He got over Maddeline. She was the maid I came to replace. I am Amanda by the way.” She shakes my hand
“May I come in?” I ask her
“Sure I will get him.” Amanda lets me enter and I lock the door behind me
I hear his footsteps approach with Amanda’s right behind him. She looks like she is about to cry. I smile at him and I run up to him. I give him a hug. He wraps his arms around me unsurely.
“How are you Sire Demetri? I hope everything is well.” I stand there with no emotion at all
“Just fine Maddeline.(Amanda gasps).” He smiles
“Keep her in check. She is easy to persuade.” I offer advice
“Alright. Thank you.” We seem nervous
“How is Cherry doing?” I ask him with a real smile
“She is dead…I killed her for disobeying my order to fuck Shadow. She said that it wasn’t her who should be fucking him.” He laughs
“Oh… aw… nice to know she was the same.” I giggle and touch his arm flirtatiously
“I don’t like the way you are touching him…” Amanda starts to get mad
“I don’t like the way you are still here…” I smile at her
“Maddeline! Show some respect to my housekeeping” I nod
“Sorry Demetrius, My apologizes.” I apologize
“Its alright.” He puts his hand on my shoulder and I start to see visions
I see visions of him kissing me, I see us walking in the dark together holding hands, I see us getting married, I see us hunting together, I see us reading in each others lap, I see us as a happy couple. I look at him and start to blush. He takes his hand back so quick, Amanda jumped. I look past him and He seems curious as to what I am looking at.
“Anything interesting back there?” He asks in a cold tone
“No Dear Hus…Nothing Interesting what so ever.” I caught myself but He knew what I was about to say
“Are you alright?” He touches my shoulder again but I smack his hand away before I have more visions
“Just fine swee-Fine.” I catch myself again (Where is this coming from?!)
“Shadow!” Demetri calls to Shadow and my heart doesn’t react
“Yes Demetri? How may I help you this evening? Need Amanda to be punished again? How shall we do it this time; Sexually?” Shadow laughs as He enters the living room
“Hello Sire Shadow.” I smile at him as if we were friends (We aren’t anywhere close to that)
“Hello Maid.” He says licking his lips
“I am nothing of the sort.” I hiss
“She does not work for me anymore.” Demetri clears the air
“Ah…Alright. Why the fuck are you here then?” He hisses at me angrily
“I just stopped by to get my stuff and get on good terms but it seems I can only accomplish one of the two.” I sigh and shake my head
“You’re on good terms with me my Dear Wife…” Demetri looks down in astonishment
“Pardon me?” I ask him not to repeat himself secretly
“You’re on good terms with me Maddeline.” He says to me kissing my forehead
“Well…she is not on good enough terms with me.” Shadow is about to turn away
“Can we at least talk about it Shadow?” I run up to him and grab his arm gently
“Nothing to talk about!” He yells and slaps me
I collapse to the floor as my knees buckle in on me. I stare down at the ground trying to figure out what to do now. I sniffle and stand up shakily. He tries to help me but I push him away. He looks hurt but then He just retires into his room down the hall. His pride is the one thing that stops him from showing his true feelings.
“Sire Demetri?” I ask and curtsy
“Yes Maddeline?” He responds by grabbing my hand softly
“Do you mind if I stay awhile? I won’t be a burden. I can do what everyone else does…” I start to talk faster and faster
“Maddeline. There is no need for that. Of course you can stay here. For as long as you want.” He hugs me gently and I feel an old spark between us
I smile and make my way down to my old room. It was left just the same. Gosh how I have missed the sanctuary of my room. I lay on the bed and curl up. I become extremely warm and get up restlessly. Where am I going? I barely open my eyes and am walking down the hallway towards a room.
My hand floats up to the door but gently touches it. Stroking it softly. I lean against it and start crying silently. I feel small vibrations on the floor and lean against the wall to hide my face. The door knob turns slowly and Shadow’s face appears there. He looks down at me and shuts the door in my face.
“It seems that you have changed…Shadow.” I drift down the hall into the living room
The door opens again and he grabs me. He stares int my eyes as we drift deeper into his room. He closes the door and we sit n the bed. We look at each other contemplating who will start first.
"So how have you been?" He asks shyly
"I have been great. Hw about yourself?" I ask avoiding his gaze
"Miserable. Totally miserable. Living here with Demetri has been...interesting but, i crave something other than company. I crave companionship. Something you gave me long ago..." He admits to me
"Well, i am sorry to hear that Sire Shadow." i sigh
"Just call me Shadow. Do not act as if you do not care for me." He grabs my arms tightly and pulls me towards him
"Let me go Shadow. You're hurting me!" I yell at him
