Chapter 33

• Cassia • 


I stared at Hann and let out a frustrated sigh. My emotions were all over the place and it was due to this stupid bond between us. Just staring at him made my heart beat faster and I’m pretty sure he was able to hear it. ‘I want to go to our mate.’ Leiah whined and I growled at how stupid she sounded. She seriously had the nerve to say that.  She wasn’t there when it happened so of course she wouldn’t understand what I was feeling. I focused back on Hann and noticed that he was watching me. 

“Please leave, I am having a very hard time controlling my wolf.” I told him calmly, hating every bit of it but also hoping that asking nicely would get him to leave. He was being stubborn and annoying. All I wanted was to be alone. I wanted him to leave. 

Hann moved closer and I closed my eyes in annoyance. He was completely ignoring me. It was as if I was talking to a wall. I didn’t wish to talk to him, I had nothing to say to him and this mate bond was driving me insane. I wanted nothing more than to make him feel the way he made me feel. To hurt him and destroy him, but I couldn’t and that frustrated me. I needed to fight this feeling and make Leiah realize that this was all fake.  

I opened my eyes and gasped at how close he had gotten. I hated him but my body wanted him. This was not fair. Why was this happening to me? “I want you.” Hann whispered, his face moving closer to neck. I stood still, a part of me wanted to rip his heart out and just end him but the stronger part, my wolf part, wanted him to take me completely right now. 

I inhaled deeply, feeling his nose caressing my neck, sending electricity all over my body. I closed my eyes, feeling him move up to my face. Pleasure traveled all over and I didn’t want it to stop. I felt his lips gently kissing my cheek and I clenched my fist as my breath hitched.

My mind was clouded by pleasure right now, forgetting everything he had done. His lips moved closer to my own but I quickly snapped back to reality before he could connect his lips to mine. I opened my eyes and pushed him away, sending him flying across the room. He landed on my bed and stared at me shocked. 

“GET OUT!” I growled, loudly and he vamp speeded In front of me and grabbed me by my neck, pinning me against the wall. I growled again but controlled myself. I couldn’t let Leiah out. She would’ve done the complete opposite. 

“No!” He said sternly. What the fuck did he want. He stared down at me, panting hard from the impact and him speeding towards me. I looked up at him and used all of my strength to remove his hand from my neck. 

“I have nothing to say to you. We are not mates, there must’ve been a mistake.” I told him, walking away from him and towards my window. He wanted to talk, fine. There wasn’t much to say but hopefully he’ll leave after getting what he came here for. 

“I get it, all of this is new to you and you want answers but I have none. I myself have no idea what’s going on. My wolf has no control with you around and it’s making this very hard.” He sighed and moved to sit down on my bed. I watched him carefully, keeping some distance between us. 

“My father had a witch use her magic on me. According to the witch, you were marked when I bit you and that’s what created the bond.” He explained, his father was working with witches? But they hated each other, the witches wanted nothing to do with vampires, claiming that they were being fed on and even killed. Had that change while I was asleep? 

“Your father is working with witches?” I questioned and he frowned, staring at me. I remained quiet, waiting for his answer. 

“That’s not what I’m here to talk about. I’m here to-“ I cut him off annoyed. I knew why he was here but I wanted to know more about his father and the witches. I doubt he’d tell me anything but it was worth a shot. 

“You’re here to talk about the mate bond. Like I told you. I don’t know anything about it. You’re a vampire, you’re basically a walking corpse. It’s impossible to be mated to you.” I told him and he got up. I watched him closely. I needed him to keep a distance between us. At least until I could control myself. 

“But yet here we are, mated to each other.” He voiced, walking around. “At first I had thought it was weird, that it must’ve been a witch’s doing but the more I look at you the more I start to think that maybe it wasn’t.” He continued, gaining my full attention. What was he on about? Did he know something I didn’t?  

“What are you talking about?” He turned to look at me and stopped, his eyes turning red for a slip second. My whole life, I have never seen a vampire like him. He was clearly different. Could that have been the reason why we were mates. 

“You were mated in the past to a warlock.” I stared at Hann, bewildered. I was at loss for words. He knew, how could he know? The only ones that were aware of my mate were my pack. Abius and I didn’t last long enough for it to be a worldwide news. 

“What do you mean?” I questioned and he smiled, moving closer to me. My heart skipped a beat as he got closer. He did have a beautiful smile. 

“Abius, right?” I sucked in a breath, hearing his name coming out of Hann’s mouth.
