Chapter 51

Detective Marks POV

Walking to my car, I knew it was going to be a good night. Tonight I would get to hunt humans with Nikolai and Wayne. I know they’ve been waiting for me for a few days but I didn’t want to meet with them if I didn’t have answers for them. I still didn’t but I figured I could make up some kind of crap and everything would shut down for a while again. I needed to get to Soma, and they were here to help me, but I didn’t want their help.

My phone buzzed when I got into the car. I rolled my eyes I didn’t want to talk to the Vampire King, he was annoying especially when he was impatient. I answered the phone.

“Where is the girl Marks?” he growled into the phone.

“She’s with the mutts,” I growled back. “I’ve been waiting for her to come home, but it seems Oliver and his pack are protecting her.” Shifting in my seat I couldn’t wait for this conversation to end, I couldn’t wait to kill him when the time was right. I would be King.

“So then we better come up with a plan to gain access to her, if we don’t the Lycans are going to be the end to us, you know this.” he hissed. “I gave you one simple instruction, and you cannot even do as I ask. Must I do this all myself?”

“Give me more time, King Gideon is too far up his ass to know what he’s doing.” I rolled my eyes. “Besides once I gain access to her friend again, she’ll come crawling to me trying to save his life.”

I didn’t need more time to get the girl, but I didn’t want to hand her over just yet. I wanted her for myself and that was something that would be hard to do if she was with the Vampire King. I knew he would keep her under lock and key and that was something I didn’t like. I wanted her to become one of us after we figured out how to get her Lycan out. Once her Lycan was out, then we bite her and she would become the most powerful hybrid.

“Fine you will get your time, but know Nikolai and Wayne are there to ensure you get your job done,” he growled.

“Oh, so you don’t have faith that I could do this on my own?” I mused. “It’s a shame, had it not been for me all these years you would have been dust centuries ago.”

“Watch that tongue Marks,” he warned. “You know I can make your life a lot worse than it is already, get the girl and bring her to me. That is the simplest of ways I will ask, the next time we speak we will not be talking normally if the girl is not with me.”

“Whatever King we all know you are going to get what you want, you just need to learn more patience,” I said before hanging the phone up. I didn’t want to hear him anymore, he has become all too whiny for me, and I needed to end him.

Dialing Nikolai.

“Where are you two at?”

“The bar, we’re checking out a couple of girls.” Nikolai mused. “Hurry up and get here.”

“Fine,” I said rolling my eyes. I wasn't in the mood to fuck around, but I needed to feed. Since the Vampire King doesn’t want us feeding on humans, tonight would be a rare thing and I wanted to enjoy it.

Driving to the bar, I walked in and found them in the back of the bar. They looked like they’d been drinking for a while. I didn’t like the human stuff, it did nothing but make me pissed off. Nikolai and Wayne already had two girls sitting on their laps, it was rather entertaining.

“Finally!” Wayne growled.

“Sorry I had some things I needed to take care of,” I said sitting down at the table. Wayne passed me a couple of shots.

“Better catch up Marks, we are leaving for a party soon enough, and you better be tipsy.” he joked.

“Ehh I don’t know how much drinking we should do tonight, we have things to do tomorrow,” I warned.

“Tomorrow can wait,” Nikolai growled. “The King sent us here to help you, and he didn’t tell us we only had a few days. So drink and enjoy being here, when we have to head back home it’s not going to be fun anymore.”

“You say King?” one of the girls asked.

“Yeah, we’re Knights.” Nikolai laughed. “We are here to save a Princess and take her back to her castle. She was kidnapped so long ago, and here Marks was the one that found her and helped us figure out where she was.”

“Aw aren't you something.” a girl said walking closer to me. She wasn't pretty at all, she was missing a couple of teeth. I didn’t want anything to do with her, but I was thirsty so she would have to do. “So you’re looking for some fun before you have to leave?”

“Yeah,” Wayne said looking at me, I didn’t want this woman. I didn’t want her to touch me, her touch was cold and numbing, I didn’t like it.

“How about we get out of here?” the girl suggested.

The only reason I am agreeing to leave with her is because of my hungry. I looked at Nikolai and Wayne they both knew what was coming.

“Yeah let’s get out of here,” I said, I smiled a little.

Once we were on the streets the girl was all over me. I could arrest her and lock her up for the night, but no I rather just kill her and feed until she is drained.

“So where are we going?” she stumbled around.

“Not far.” I smiled.

We walked to the nearby woods and into the darkness. I could feel her heartbeat increase as she knew this wasn't going to end up good for her. I pulled her closer to me to fool her into thinking I was going to keep her safe.

“Where are we heading?” she mumbled.

“My cabin is not too far now,” I said pulling her closer to me. “Don't worry I will make sure you are protected, besides there isn't anything that crazy out here except for me.”

Her heart kept beating faster and faster the farther we got into the woods. I didn’t mind, no one was going to hear her screams, and I couldn’t wait for my fill.

“Where is it?” she said trying to see through the darkness.

“We’re almost there.” I mused.

Throwing her down on the ground, I felt my demonic side come out. “Now we’re going to have some fun,” I growled.

“But, but where is the cabin?” she whined, I could feel her trying to move away from me. “Look I don’t want to die out here, I don’t even know why you brought me out here. I was only looking for fuck you,” she whined.

“Yeah well when you whore yourself out, you die,” I growled grabbing her and biting her.

I felt her tense and then that deathly scream came from her mouth for a few short minutes before I felt her body relax in my hold. Once she was drained I tossed her aside like she was a rag doll. My demonic side wanted more, but I knew it wouldn't be a good thing. I don’t think I could stop myself if I wanted to.

Wiping the blood off my mouth, I called Nikolai but it went to voicemail so he was probably still at the bar or with the girl. I settled in on the forest floor, I loved the stars they always reminded me of people before me. It didn’t matter if they weren’t people, the thought of someone looking after me is how I survived as long as I have.

My phone rang, I rolled my eyes when it was Nikolai.

“Finished already?” I mused.

“Yeah, but you finished an hour ago.” he laughed. “Meet us at your house, we need to make a plan. The Vampire King is growing impatient, and he wants the girl brought as soon as possible.”

“Aw can’t I enjoy the human blood high?” I whined.

“No, you can enjoy that when we have endless amounts of it.” he laughed. “Twenty minutes.”

“Yeah, yeah,” I said before hanging up the phone.

Going back to my apartment, Nikolai and Wayne were already there. They looked more relaxed than before.

“Finally. What did you walk home?” Nikolai mused.

“Maybe, so why are we going after the girl now?” I asked unlocking my door and walking inside.

“Well, the King wants it done before the end of the night,” Wayne said. “But we’ve convinced in that we need a few more days, so we only have a few more days.”

“Great. Her mate has been keeping her on a short leash. I haven't even seen her without someone at the coffee shop.”

“Well I guess you’re going to have to pay her a visit, we’ll be waiting out back so you need to bring her that way,” Nikolai said.
