Alpha's Little Vampire Mate
Chapter 48

48.

Chloe's POV:

My eyes fluttered open. I didn't blink, I didn't turn, I just laid there as still as a rock.

Jason...

A laugh left my lips and I collapsed onto my back, staring up at the ceiling. I had two brothers, one loved me, while the other obviously hated me. I wish I could have slept a little longer, that way I'd be able to find out what had happened after my brothers had left.

Where the hell was Jason now?

I needed to meet Angelo soon, I had a lot of questions to ask, that is: after giving him a dirty slap for scaring me and making Marcus lock me up for days. Just how exactly, do I get him to come to me? Or should I go looking for him?

He is not a werewolf, and vampires have never been known to be telepathic. Or are they?...

I closed my eyes, trying to connect with something... anything at all that would help me to reach Angelo. Then I thought: Angelo, I want you to come meet me outside Alpha Marcus's pack land. I'll be waiting for you, twelve midnight.

I waited, but nothing happened. I groaned, rolling all over the bed in frustration and pulled my hair roughly. "Ah!... I hate you Marcus!" I screamed into the air. How dare him chase Angelo away before I could get to meet him?

Just on cue, the door cracked open and the aforementioned poked his head through. "Ah... you are wake!" He gave me a charming smile which I returned with a glare. "Ehem! Lilian is here to see you," he said.

I nodded, gesturing for him to let her through. I only had to wait for a minute before she walked, giving me one of her infamous glares.

"Really Chloe? Whatever happened to self respect huh? I said have sex with him, I didn't say come back to him!"

"Well," I started, giving her an icy glare. "That is the actual problem," I snapped. "You made me fuck him and now I see us everywhere I turn in that room and it's so frustrating, it is making me mad and bothered!" Lily gave me a knowing smile, coming to sit herself at the edge of the bed. "Tell me honestly... how was the heat period?"

"I don't understand what you are insinuating," I replied, trying to avoid her eyes. Of course, I knew what she was trying to say, but I wasn't about to start telling her how Marcus had me more than ten rounds yesterday.

Her fingers snaked under my chin, forcefully but gently turning my face back to her. "You understand what I'm trying to ask, but to make it easier for you, I'll ask straight." She gave me a teasing face. "How was the whole heat sex? Did you notice any change or something?"

I started to shake my head. "I shouldn't have let him use me like that, I regret having sex with him, I really do." My shoulders sagged and deep down, I knew I wasn't telling the truth but what did that matter?

"Whatever makes you sleep at night sis. But just so you know: no wolf, has ever hated the heat sex, it something we all look forward to. So you'll be the first... that is-"

"I never said I hated the sex," I groaned out my frustration. "I regret the person I had sex and I gate the sex, are two different things!"

Lily raised her hand in surrender. "Fine. Don't get vexed please, I was only teasing," she gave me an apologetic gaze.

I rubbed her hand gently. "I an not mad at you, I am just sick of Marcus for never trusting me with his decisions. He never failed to make me feel like an outsider, it has become a part of him now and I'm this close-" I joined the tips of my index and thumb, indicating just how thin my patient was running. "-to loosing it."

"Uh... maybe this is going to change your mind?"

"And what could it be?"

She shifted herself closer to me, coming close enough to peer down into my face. "I heard from Mark, that Marcus summoned Angelo-"

Before she could even finish speaking, I was already out of bed and marching out the door. I descended the stairs quickly, Lily trying to keep up with my fast strides and the three men the foot of the staircase looked startled, as they hadn't expected to see me.

"Chloe! So excited to-" Titus started to say, but the cold glare I shut him, made him clamp his mouth shut.

I walked past them all, without much of a greeting as I strode towards the front door. I was just a few steps away and I could grab the door handle and leave, but then; Marcus stopped me. "Do you want something?" "Where are you going?"

"None of your business," I snapped. And instead of walking out the door like I had intended to, I vanished. That was to them but actually, I made myself invisible and walked away, feeling the cold air breeze past me but not actually feeling it.... I was ice itself.

I walked into the woods and after I had gone about two miles, I got tired and levites into the air, using the trees as means of movement. I didn't jump the branches this time, rather, I floated above the trees.

With no destination in mind, I just kept wandering around in circles. I spotted a baby kangaroo and my wolf was forcefully trying to shift me but I put her back whenever she tried to come to the surface. I wouldn't forgive myself if I let her eat something so little, it was a good thing I hadn't shifted and ran instead.

I wanted to deceive myself that I only came out for some fresh air. But the truth was: I was nervous to meet Angelo, nervous to hear what he had to say to me. My heart had been drumming since Lily gave me the news and my head was beginning to get heavy with all the thinking and I swayed slightly and I had to close my eyes for a moment.

It felt like hands had grabbed and steadied me, but when I opened my eyes, it was just me hanging in the air. I started to panic, then gasped as a realization cane to me.

As if on cue, Marcus's voice sounded in my head: Where are you baby? Your brother is here...

Hell yeah, I knew it had to be him. I started to descend to the floor but when I saw a group of gossiping she-wolves, I remained in the trees, turned myself invisible before dropping to the ground. I walked past them, and their little talks made me shake my head in disappointment, but one particular statement made me halt in my steps.

I swiftly turned to see the young blonde, who didn't look a day older than fifteen. I waited to see if she'd make any other statement concerning that.

Her friends began to argue and she said: "I also learnt that the Alpha locked her up and bounded her in silver chains. I tell you that she is a vampire for and real and her end is close!" She jumped excitedly, clapping her hands. "Finally, I can also have my chance with Alpha Marcus... she's been such a pain in the ass, it's like no other woman existed since she came!"

"She bewitched him, evil vampire," another girl added.

"I hope he executes her publicly but untill then, no one is to say a word of this outside," the third girl added.

It felt hard to stand erect. My knees were wobbling dangerous and I had to lean against a tree to stop myself from falling. No matter how quiet I tried to be, I still scared the group of teenagers and they all hurried away.

A tear escaped out of my eyes and I caught it before it could hit the ground. Would I ever have a drama free life? Just when I was thinking of forgiving Marcus, he had to do another thing. No matter how logically I looked t it, the only thing for me in this place was death.

I didn't have the loyalty of my subjects, I didn't even have Marcus's trust. All he ever saw me like; was a little child who doesn't know what should be done and when, so he was going to dictate my life for me. He knew how important it was to conceal my personality but he went ahead and disclosed it and made me an object of ridicule.

I strode the rest of the way back to the royal house in silence, my legs swaying under me as my burdens felt too heavy for them to carry. I took once step at a time, careful so I wouldn't trip and collide with the ground.

I reached the front door, and I could already feel the strong power emanating from the house. I wondered if people also sensed me that way, I was royalty after all.

A royal hybrid. I was made to radiate power and authority but I had made myself a laughing stock and no one respected me. If I had known better, I wouldn't have let myself be coaxed into mating with Marcus, he was bad luck! I made myself visible again.

"Welcome Luna."

I ignored the guard who bowed before me. Squaring up my shoulders, I walked into the house. It was full of life again, the servants had returned to the mansion and everywhere was bustling with different activities. The living room was empty, but I could sense them in here, they were somewhere around here and yes, I also couldn't sense Angelo.

I was going to go up the stairs, bit then I decided to check Marcus's office first. As I turned around and started walking towards the office, the door cracked open and Mark came out, followed by Titus and last but definitely not least, Marcus stepped out, leaving the door open.

The other men gave me little nods and went their way. Marcus's eyes met with mine and with the way he was looking at me, I would have melted into a puddle, if I knew no better. The whole 'Luna thing' was now nothing to me. He had proven time without number that I wasn't capable and worthy to stand beside him.

I took my eyes away, scrubbing shoulders with him as I tried to walk around him. I was at the door when his hand shot back and caught my wrist. I pulled out of his hold and when he tried to grab me again, I vanished.

When I got into the room, my brother was playing the role of 'Mr. Invisible'. I sighed, wondering if he knew me well enough to know that I had intentions to give him a hot slap. He had a lot of explaining to do. "If I were you, I would know there is no need in hiding, because I'll still get you one way or another."

He appeared, sitting comfortable at the end of the only couch in the room.

Before he could even utter a word, I jumped at him, punching him square in the face. I successfully gave him threw more punches before he grabbed my hand.

"That is enough Chloe Tristan, get a hold on yourself!"

"To hell with you! Let go of me, I need to take out a tooth at least!"

The nerve of him to chuckle. Then he grinned, easily holding me off him. He plucked me away from where I sat over his abdomen and planted my arse on the couch beside him.

"Do you know all what I have been through? If mother was hear, I guess she would be really of you," I spat sarcastically.

He sighed, his shoulders slumping. "I never left you, I always came to check on you from time to time," he said, looking me straight in the eyes. He looked sincere enough for me to believe him. "As for mother, all she ever wanted for you, is for you to be safe. And you're safe her-"

"Complete that sentence and I'll whoop your arse," I scrowled. "I am anything but safe here!" I waited for to reply, but he only sat there, staring at me. "I need your help, Angelo..."

He observed me for a while then: "No," he said. "You must remain close to Marcus, he will protect you!"

"Ay! You won't tell me what to do! If you do not help me to leave this hell hole, then I'll do it on my own!"
