Chapter 28

• Cassia •


Hann’s eyes turned red before he vamp speeded towards me. ‘Mate.” My wolf who’s been quiet since I had woken up, whispered. What? 

I quickly moved out of the way and used the rock I was playing with to hit him hard on his chest and near his heart. I groaned in pain feeling my chest hurting. What the Fuck? Did he hurt me? How? He didn’t even touch me. 

“I don’t want to hurt you.” Hann said and I rolled my eyes turning to look at him. His chest healed and so did mine, confusing me. 

“You’re really saying that after you raped me?” I felt anger rising inside of me as I mentioned the word rape to him. ‘What are you doing? He’s our mate.’ My wolf said, panicking but I ignored her. He was a vampire. He was not my mate. I wanted him dead for what he did. I took full control of my wolf and wolfed out. I charged at him. He vamp speeded out of the way but I was still able to scratched his arm, making him bleed. 

I whimpered in pain and quickly turned back into my human form. I looked down at my arm and saw the same wound I had given him. What the hell is going on? ‘He marked you.” Leiah whispered in shock. ‘He’s a vampire!’ I screamed at her. As he healed so did my arm again. We were not marked and he was not my mate. I bit my wrist and watched as he brought his wrist up, bleeding. He looked away from his wound and at me. 

“How?” I questioned as my wrist healed, he looked just as confused as I was. Did a witch do this to us? Was I connected to him? How the fuck was I going to kill him? Did he do this so I wouldn’t hurt him? 

“Did you do this?” I questioned, moving closer to him. He didn’t move, he just kept looking at me. “Answer me.” I demanded, pushing him and making him stumble back a little bit. 

“No, I didn’t and like I said. I don’t want to hurt you, I just want the cure for my sister.” I scoffed, feeling irritated. I was naked in front of him right now and I couldn’t kill him. Maybe letting his sister die will be his punishment. 

“Well that’s too bad then, I guess since I can’t kill you. Your sister will do for now.” I told him turning to walk away. I was grabbed by my arm and turned around. I felt electricity travel all over my body from his touch. Hann quickly brought my arm up while I was distracted and bit into it. 

Fuck! I yanked my arm away from him and used my strength to push him away, sending him flying towards the bench. I felt the pain as his back hit the bench. God, this was going to be annoying. 

Hann got back up and vamped out as he charged at me. I wolfed out as well and charged at him. I was able to get the upper hand and landed on top of him. I growled before biting his neck. I felt the same pain as him on my neck and stoped biting him. He pushed me off of him and quickly got up. Touching his neck. That might’ve been the worse mistake I made. I felt every bit of pain from that wound. Once a werewolf was marked by their mate. They enter the first stage. Which was physical connection. It prevented mates from harming one another. They had to complete the other two stages in order to become one. 

While distracted by the pain, Hann grabbed me and pulled me closer to him before biting down on my neck, the same place I had the wound. I groaned feeling my flesh being ripped open before pushing him away. I’m sure he wasn’t aware of the mate bond between us. He and I needed to be intimate for the bite to work. 

“Stop!” I yelled, knowing that fighting him right now would only cause the both of us pain. I felt my wound healing and looked at his neck. The bite I had given him was healing. Of course, he must’ve drank from me when he bit me. 

“You weren’t lying about your blood.” He said touching his neck as well. I scoffed, rolling my eyes at him. So that’s why he bit me? To see if I was telling the truth? 

“Why would I lie?” He shrugged moving towards me. This was annoyed. The person that I wanted to kill the most was bonded to me. 

“Are you lying about your bite killing her?” I shrugged, not knowing what to say. She was the first original I’ve bitten so I didn’t know. 

“Are you going to let her die, I thought she was your friend.” I scoffed once again. She was never my friend, I hated vampires and I will never be friends with one. 

“I never considered her my friend.” I told him and he scoffed this time, moving closer again. Why was he moving towards me. It made my wolf excited which I hated. 

“She did. She even defended you after I bit you at the school. She also threatened to kill me after finding out that I raped you.” He informed, grabbing me by my neck and pulling me closer. I growled warning him while also warning Leiah. She was enjoying him this close. 

“I don’t care if I have to hurt myself in order to get your blood. She could be dying right now and I won’t let that happen.” He threatened inches away from me. I rolled my eyes and pointed towards my ripped clothes all over the floor. A vial with my blood was inside my jeans’ pocket 

“Over there, it’s inside my pocket.” I told him and he looked at me, examining my face. I had no reason to lie to him. He let go of my neck and walked over towards my jeans. 

“This doesn’t mean I forgive you. Once we are no longer connected. You’re dead.” I threatened, hoping that this was a witch’s doing instead of him being my mate. I turned around and wolfed out, running back to the house.

I coughed, laying in my bed. The wound had gotten worse. The pain become unbearable as it traveled all over my body. I felt as though I had been stabbed multiple times. I’ve been bitten before but it didn’t feel as bad as Cassia’s bite. Was she telling the truth about her bite killing me? Was I really going to die? 

Father had to send Hann to the school to get the cure. I hope he was okay. I wasn’t happy with what happened but I knew it wasn’t his fault. I just wished he had controlled himself. 

“You’re still alive?” I turned towards my door and smiled seeing Hann. I moved to get up but failed as my legs gave out. Hann vamped speeded towards me and grabbed me before I could fall. 

“You look like shit.” He said, making me roll my eyes at him. He picked me up and placed me back on my bed. 

“Were you able to get the cure?” I questioned as he moved to sit on the edge of my bed. He nodded and pulled out a vial filled with blood. 

“Blood?” I questioned, taking it from him. Was this cassia’s blood? Why would her blood be the cure? 

“Yeah, turns out her blood is the cure.” I opened the small bottle and drank from it. I looked up at Hann and noticed him staring at my wound. I felt the pain become less and less as the wound started healing. 

“Thank you.” I told him and he looked at me. He smiled and got up. He leaned in, kissed my forehead and turned to leave my room. I grabbed my phone and texted Cassia. 

Thank you! 

Hann was still alive, which meant something must’ve happened between them two. I didn’t think he was going to get the cure but he did. Cassia seemed powerful, which meant she might’ve willingly gave it to him. 

Just stay away from me next time.

I scoffed at her response and put my phone down. Stay away from her? She was the one who came into my room. I got up and went into the bathroom to shower. I couldn’t believe she was a werewolf, I mean this whole time she was lying to us but she was immortal like us. She wanted me to stay away but I couldn’t. I wanted to know more about her.
