Sexting With A Vampire
Chapter 134

Nora

A lot of strange things happen as Leo carries me in his arms. I look into his beautiful eyes and sexy smirk.

Everything is romantic until I get the eerie feeling we are being watched.

My smile falters, and I hold my breath. "Are we alone inside your mansion right now?"

The rustling of leaves can be heard from outside, along with glass breaking. To the mansion? I don't know, but I sink further into Leo's embrace, thankful that he tightens his hold on me.

"I have a few butlers and maids living in the guesthouse, but that's about it..."

My nostrils flare. "Really? Because somehow, I don't think we are alone. It feels like someone is watching us."

"I feel it too," Leo says. "But I wasn't going to say anything to create unnecessary fear..."

I swallow thickly. "Too late for that..."

My heart won't stop pounding. Adrenaline slouches in my veins, and I shudder in Leo's arms.

Windows are letting in the moonlight from the roof, casting light upon the stairs. There is a blue dazzle with dust particles dancing. Bookshelves line up the walls.

Leo carries me higher and higher up the stairs, but suddenly, he stops mid-step while blinking up at the windows.

He growls. "Something is coming..."

Before I can ask questions, white wings fold out from Leo's back, and he shoots up a couple of feet. His new feathered equipment forms a shield to protect us as I hear something fly in through the window. The glass broke and shattered.

When Leo lowers his wings from us, there are shards spread across the floor. I blink and let my eyes dart, searching for whatever was thrown at the window. "There..."

Leo points at something on the floor, and when I narrow my eyes, I realize precisely what it is-a severed, bloody arm. What. The. Actual. Hell.

I'm sickened.

There are silver bracelets around the arm from Tiffany & Co. The exact same ones that Leo's family gifted Lily before the wedding.

My voice comes out teary and shaky. "It couldn't be Lily's arm on the floor, right? It makes no sense. I thought she was the enemy!"

Leo hugs me to him. There is a faint beautiful glow to him now that he is in his angel form, and he is taller too. Not to mention the wings curled behind his back.

"It smells like her," Leo whispers, eyeing the floor before meeting my eyes with a seriousness I've never seen him wear. "Whoever threw that arm into my mansion's window is powerful. But the air is confusing me... I expected to smell a werewolf, demon, or any kind of supernatural creature, but I don't..."

I stare at him. "So, what are you saying?"

His eyes meet mine. "Our enemy smells like a human."

My heart pounds faster. "Really?"

"Yes, but it could also just mean the person is excellent at hiding what kind of creature they are-" Leo stops talking, and I watch his eyes expand before he growls.

"Is something the matter?" I ask

"Yes! Now the air smells like a demon; typical! It seems whoever threw in the arm broke down the barrier around the mansion, and now we have a demon to deal with!"

Leo growls in annoyance and then leaps into the air. It's so sudden that I shriek. My stomach drops, but Leo doesn't even blink. He flies out through the broken window, and then we land on the roof.

While still holding me, Leo meets my eyes. "I'm going to transform into my dragon wolf form," he points to the forest, and I notice that birds, deer, and other animals are fleeing. "Those animals are running because we are dealing with a powerful demon." I study the fleeing animal, blinking in surprise when I catch what looks like flying, glowing embers. "What are those?"

Leo scrunches his nose. "Fairies, and I don't like those very much."

"Fairies?" I lift both my eyebrows in surprise. "I had no clue those even existed..."

"Me neither. But when your mother fought Arachne and defeated her, she had already opened tiny portals. The demons come to our world through those, but it seems other supernatural creatures are coming through them too, like the fairies." "I see..."

"Yeah, and the reason for me wanting to travel is to close as many of them as possible," Leo walks to the edge of the room and then turns around with a playful smile. "Anyway, time to find that demon. Get on my back after I've transformed." I stare at him. "On your back?"

Instead of answering, Leo dives down into the garden. I hold my breath at the glitter and white feathers circling in a mini tornado before an enormous dragon wolf takes Leo's place. It's white with a wolf's head, but Leo has a long, beautifully slender body that reminds me of an eastern dragon. He looks a lot like William's wolf dragon form. Only Leo is less demonic. My eyes roam over him. Leo is the size of his mansion, and a strange chuffing sound escapes him when his eyes focus on mine. The sounds he emits are a mix of dragon and wolf. It feeds my curiosity, and I take a step toward him, reaching out my hand to touch his black, cold nose. Leo holds still, letting me explore his muzzle with my hands. "Dragon wolves are so..." I bite my lower lip not to laugh but can't fight my growing smile. "Dragon wolves are so weird and huge, but also extremely cute."

Leo folds his ears backward. With a head this big, he could quickly finish off a human with his sharp teeth and enormous mouth, but we are mates; I don't fear him. I'm more curious than afraid and grab hold of the mane around his neck. Leo gets the hint and lowers his head, allowing me to jump on him before he stalks away from the house. A screech comes out from his mouth, and I grab hold of Leo's fur as he spreads his wings. His large body is cast into the skies, and my stomach plummets from the sudden flight. I'm fighting the wind and my tears as I shout. "I think I prefer normal werewolves! Flying alpha werewolves are much harder to stomach, and I think I just ate a fly!"

Leo releases a sound that must be his way of laughing. He even glimpses at me over his shoulder before picking up speed and bringing us over the tall trees belonging to the forest.

I hold on to his fuzzy white fur and freeze when I notice a little glowing light above us. A fairy? I stare harder, gasping, when a creature drops from the sky and lands in my lap.

My eyes widen to saucers, and my lips part as I gawk at the tiny, winged man that is now groaning. "That was some journey..."

When I say nothing, the fairy sits up and tiredly meets my eyes before a hesitant smile spreads over his lips. "Oh, hello there! My name is Blake, and it's a pleasure to meet you! Thank you for saving me from the harsh weather conditions! How can I repay you?" I blink at the long black hair and the fairy's blue dress. The fairy looks like a tiny royalty. Am I hallucinating this?

I glimpse over at Leo, who growls in disdain. He doesn't like fairies but continues flying to hunt for the demon.

"Uh... Hello..." I wet my lips, dazed by the situation. "My name is Nora, and wait... Repay me?"

"Yeah," Blake gives me a sheepish grin. He is actually pretty cute and handsome. "Entering your world ate most of my strength, but don't underestimate me. I'm very good at-"

He is interrupted by a demonic cry, and we both blankly blink at each other with deadpan expressions.

Eventually, I speak. "What do you know about defeating demons?"

"Normally, I would gladly help you," Blake says, shrugging. He seems right at home in my lap, totally cool with me being basically a giant to him. "But I'm weak right now since entering your world took a lot of magic and energy."

I sigh and smile in misery. "No problem-looks like Leo has to handle this one alone."

I really wish I could help...
