Alpha's Little Vampire Mate
Chapter 117

Marcus's POV:

"Ouch!" Lima cried out, his face twisting in pain. He shook his head, refusing to move even when I tried to push his forward. "I can't Marcus, I feel weird down there," he pointed at the member in between his legs. "I think she did something, the pain is getting worse! Ow!"

I was confused! I could quickly get him to a healer, but I would be seen if I ran and I had no other way unless...

"What are you doing?!" Lima yelled, struggling to break out of my hold and put his feet on the ground. "Put me down Marcus, it's going to be weird if we are seen this way!"

Did I mind him? No. I started to jog slowly with him towards the local medicine man's house, as it was obvious that it had gotten beyond the wolf medical technology. There was no way the doctor would be able to help and he needed someone to take off the rotting spell, before it destroyed his manhood for good!

"Just you hold on Lima," I said, my breaths escaping with difficulty out of my chest. I could not let anything happen to him, because he had been put in such an agonizing situation all because of me. "Once I get my hands on Therese, I will make sure she pays for all of her evil, I will strangle the life out of her with my bare hands!"

"Please-" Lima coughed, choking on his spit as he tried to speak. He broke into a coughing fit but after a while, it ceased. "Please Alpha, do not hurt Therese. She is not a bad person, she is only bitter as you could not return the love she had for you and-"

I stiffened, making him to stop talking.

"If I hear one more rubbish talk from you again," I stated in a cold voice. "I will put you don't right here to die and after that, I would like to hear what you think about Therese," I grunted in displeasure.

He sighed. "I am sorry," he muttered under his breath. He was silent until when I got him to Jaguar's place and placed his feet on the ground. Then he clung tightly unto my neck and whispered in my ear. "I truly did love her, so much..." "Lima?"

No reply.

"Damn," I muttered, feeling all of his weight on my arm. He had passed out and I think it had to be due to the effect of the poison. I knocked hard against the door. "Jaguar!"

The door was not thrown open as i. had expected, but then, a huge predator crawled out of the back of the house, coming towards us untill it got to where I stood and shifted back into an old man. The only werejaguar in my pack... he had been attacked by his own people and left for death but I had found, rescued and brought him back here with me and my parents had welcomed him in the pack as one of us!

"Alpha," he greeted, giving a little bow. His eyes flickered down to Lima who I now held bridal style. "Pour little boy," he said with a sigh. He gestured for me to follow as he turned to the back of the house and urged me to put Lima down on a straw mat laid on one corner of the yard. "If you have some place to be, be rest assured that he will be awake and sound by the time you return..."

I gave him a nod, not really talking much to him as always. He was once a dangerous man and still was, born with magic that only belonged to those above and he had once abused it, which had led to his sentence. But I knew I could trust him with my life, he was grateful that I had saved him those centuries ago, and he still was.

I started with a jog and slowly, my speed picked up and I broke into a run, making sure to keep away from the busy town but it became more difficult to use vampire speed without being noticed. It was no secret that my wife was a vampire and some rumours had really started to go around that I had gain some of her powers in the mating process.

* Just as I got by the entrance of the hospital and was about to go in, someone forcefully pulled me to the side, by back colliding against a wall. I was going to fight back, when I realized that it was Titus. "Do not go in there," he whispered, looking around us like something was going to come out of a corner and jump at us. "Something is definitely going on inside there!"

Shit! He I should have thought of him. I quickly grabbed him by the shirt, my grip so strong that I heard to material tearing. "You piece of shit," I growled dangerously at him. "You had better told me where you kept her, and you better not lie!" "Kept who?" He asked, looking genuinely confused. But that could also be fake, for all I knew and I could not trust anyone when it came down to the matter of my wife and our unborn child. "Talk to me Alpha, you know something, don't you?" "Chloe's aunt is not in here room," I growled. "You must have taken her, haven't you?"

"Me? No!" He pointed towards where he should have seen something. "I found Mark and Lily out there and I have been trying to have a decent conversation with them for over a ten minutes now and they seem to be in a fix. Them I saw Chloe walk in through a wall and after sometime, another Chloe just appeared her and told me to look after Mark and Lily and that she will be b-"

"Can you just speak more slowly?" I snapped, cutting off his rant. "I did not grab a word of anything you said, so calm down and talk, I do not eat wolves and you know that!" if it helped, I also released my grip on him. He repeated himself and I came to understand that he had seen Chloe's mother when she came in, he had also seen Chloe and that meant she had also gotten alert by what was going on in the hospital.

"I will go in now..." I said, giving him a stiff nod. "Whatever happens, make sure not to get yourself involved and also, take Mark and Lily away from here and over to the healer, they have been put under some kind of spell."

His eyes widened and before he could put up an argued with me, I yelled for him to leave and he quickly did. I ran back into the hospital, the halls still empty and strangely quiet. They were more voices now coming from the room and I went to see who must have joined in the party.

Five minutes earlier: Narrator's POV:

A smirk made it's way to Therese face. "Oh, you never knew you were carrying a child?" she asked, her eyes flickering down to Chloe's stomach. "The moment I knew that you had not only stolen away my man, but also gone ahead to get pregnant for him. How dare you!"

What Chloe's mother was more concerned about, was the blood all over her daughter's body and she could already sense what had happened in her absence. She checked to see if the baby was okay and just then, Chloe's hand fell over her stomach and she stared down at it.

"I am pregnant?" She asked again, this time her voice bolder and a lesser amount of disbelief dripping off it. She gently caressed it, a feeling of fear and amazement seeping into her chest and spreading all over her. She raised her cold eyes up to to meet Therese. "You! Pathetic little witch that you are! Did you just threaten to harm my child?!"

Therese felt jubilant on the inside, it was all that she wanted. To rile Chloe up so it made her lose it and she would be able to deliver her blow on her easily. The family was complete, only left with Marcus and of course... Dracula.

"Stay out of this, I can handle her!" Claire snapped in Chloe's direction. She looked around, trying to see if she would find Marcus, as she desperately needed him to pop out of any where and take her child far away from this place! "Where is that bloody husband of yours?!"

"Yes I did," she hissed at Chloe, her evil intents blazing in her eyes like a burning fire, a fire of revenge! "And after I am done killing it from the inside, I will rip you apart and bring it out of-Ouch!"

Claire twisted her arm painfully, hating the fact that she fearlessly threatened the life of her child and grand children. She now regretted why she had asked the boys: Angelo and Jason, to go seek help from another Dracula who was an enemy of her father's. She had been so caught up in trying to kill her father, that she had forgotten about the other dangers that surrounded her child.

Therese struggled against her hold, trying to reach for the wand in her undercoat, but Claire would not let her. She knew that that was Therese's strongest weapon and she had seen the kind of havoc it could cause. "Let go of me, this is not your fight!"

"I will not allow my daughter become a victim to your senseless jealousy!" Claire yelled back, as both ladies fell back on the floor, Claire having the upper hand or so she thought, as she sat on top of Therese. "Give up, Marcus never even loved you!"

That had seemed to tick her off and she roared, reaching for her wand and muttered we dark spell, which sent Claire flying across the room and her body hammered into a wall and slid down lifelessly. "Mum!"

"Where do you think you are going, little spoilt princess?" Therese asked, pointing her wand at her and she was immediately lifted off the ground and floating on the air. "I had almost mistaken how a child you still are and now your mother is back, I see that I took too long to whoop your arse," she mocked, a wicked smile plastered on her face.

Chloe's face scrunched up in agony, as the child inside of her started to stir aggressively. It was being poisoned by Therese's black magic and the little demon inside of her, put up a good fight against the evil that was trying to snatch the life you it of it. The only problem was that it caused it's mother excruciating pain and she kept screaming in pain, not being able to help herself or her mother, who had been knocked out cold and unconscious.

"Let me see if you are also going to resurrect like your mother and come back to Marcus," she said, after the child stopped fighting and finally succumbed to the magic. "Die!" She yelled, striking Chloe a second time.

This time around, Chloe had gotten weak and she almost losing her consciousness. She tried to fight back with the little strength she had left in her, as her child had drained all of her energy. The disappointment building in her as she felt that she had disappointed her child and also disappointed her husband, clawed at her heart strings and she decided to try one more time. She knew that her child was still in there, the little sly monster was breathing softly inside of her and had been successful in deceiving Therese that she had murdered it.

She roared, waving away Therese's spell and her feet landed on the ground. She did not waste any time to charge at her, levitating when she got close enough and kicked Therese in the face, going over her head and landing on the other side. Therese staggered backwards, her head swinging to the side. Her eyes burned a dark blue as she grew furious, the veins in her pale neck popping as her talons shot out of her nails. She spun almost immediately, raising her hand to strike Chloe with her poison, but received a sharp stab in the back, the knife passing through and appearing in her chest.

Blood bubbled out of her mouth, her eyes widening die to the pain and disbelief, as she turned to see who had stabbed her....
