Chapter 220
Caleb's POV
"What the hell are you saying, Vincent? This better be a joke." I stare at him wide eyed. He looks back at me apologetically.
"I'm sorry Caleb. It's not, When I first saw her I felt something and just shook it off. but when she shook my hand.."
The Kids Aren't Alright
I remember back to earlier in the evening before all the bullshit with Asher went down. I did notice Vincent stiffen after he shook Davyna's hand. I put my hand to my head. I know Vincent wouldn't lie to me, especially about this considering he was the one who pulled me out of the dark hole that was my life after the incident. I trust him with my life.
"So what the fuck does this mean? Have you ever heard of two males having the same mate? Wait. two males from different SPECIES having the same HUMAN mate?" Vincent shakes his head,
"No I've never heard of anything like this. But we're going to have to look into it. Discreetly. Considering what happened tonight, it's safe to say that no one needs to know this yet.
She's already in trouble with something concerning Asher, and we don't need to add the confusion and probable anger of the whole compound knowing that two of their future leaders have the same mate."
"It honestly seems like she doesn't feel much of a mate pull from us either." Vincent closes his eyes and replies
"It would seem that way. I did notice that she was uncomfortable
around us before she left the club to go outside, but it's hard to
determine if that was because of a mate pull or just discomfort due to it being her first time working at the club with Marcella."
I nod and head towards the door.
"It's late, I should get to my suite... but if one thing is for sure, she needs our protection. Human or not, mate or not.
Vincent's eyes flashed for a brief moment.
"Don't have to tell me twice."
I walk out of Vincent's suite and go to mine across the hall. Before I walk in, I look towards Davyna's suite.
"What are you?" I sigh and walk in and close the door behind me.
(The next day)
Davyna's POV
Ugh my head. I passed out hard after Caleb and Vincent walked me to
my room last night. I go to get up and get a nice rude awakening from my sore neck.
"Ouch. Damn Vincent wasn't kidding. This hurts." I make a mental note to ask Kraven for some muscle cream when I'm up and
about today.
I get up and take a nice long shower which helps with the pain, and I look at my neck when I get out. A couple small bruises, but not really noticeable. I breathe a sigh of relief. I won't have to wear something to cover them up.
"Thank god." I pull on some jeans, a tank top, hoodie, and put my white sneakers on. I pull on some jeans, a tank top, hoodie, and put my white sneakers on. I look around.
"Wait." I left these sneakers at the club with the rest of my
stuff from yesterday. How are they back? I find my bag and there's a note on top:
I brought your stuff back and had Kraven give me access to your room to drop it off. You were dead asleep so ljust put a few items away and let the rest. Hope you're okay. - Marcella.
I'l have to find her today and thank her. I put the rest of the items from my bag away and I hear a knock on my door. I freeze. Who the hell could that be? Asher? No, he's not stupid to come after me now when everyone is most likely still here is he? A couple more knocks come and I finally can get my legs to move. I look through the peephole and see that it's Vincent. I let out the breath with a large sigh of relief. I guess Asher did freak me out on some level last night. Damn vampire. I guess he knocked some sense into me of the actual reality of me being human here at The Hollow.
I unlock it and open it slightly. He smiles at me,
"Davyna! Glad I caught you. I took the liberty of getting some muscle cream for you. I figured it would make it a bit easier for you" He hands me the tube of cream.
"Oh thanks, I was going to ask Kraven about some later, but this saves me the trip"
"How is your neck today?" He asks, and l instinctively touch it. "it's sore, like you said, but nothing terrible."
"Can I take a look?" He asks politely and I nod. I feel his chilled fingers again as he turns my neck side to side, inspecting it similarly to how he did last night.
"Thank you, Vincent. l appreciate you looking after me. Again, I am sorry if I came off rude last night." I start to say, as I do feel more guilty today for how l acted
"It's not a problem, Davyna. I was happy to help" He pauses. "Listen I also wanted to tell you that you know where my suite is, and that Caleb's is across the hall from mine if you ever need anything. Oh and Marcella said you didn't have to come to the club tonight for work if you weren't up for it. Can't forget that.. she would kill me if i didn't relay them message." He chuckles.
"Oh l probably still will go, is she still here? I wanted to say thanks to her for dropping my stuff off last night.!
"I believe so, her suite is a couple up from mine."
"My pleasure, Davyna." He turns and heads back down to his suite and waves back at me before I close my door again. I find myself smiling at the nice gesture. Maybe some supernatural aren't so bad.
I decide to tidy up a bit, apply the cream on my neck which feels
AMAZING..and then grab my essentials, and head out the door. I'm
looking down at my phone, checking anything I missed from the night
before, when someone steps in front of me.
"Hello again Davyna."
I look up and drop everything in my hands. Fuck.
Asher. Have l not had enough punishment yet?
Caleb's POV
Getting up this morning was rough considering my sleep was shit, but I managed. l even got down to the gym for a quick workout before having to get ready for the day. I'm in the men's change room, just hopping out of the showers when I get mind-linked by Marcella.
M- Caleb!Asher's up here and C- Yes, in be there soon. Get a hold of Vincent, to0.
4- You got it. -
She breaks the link and I rush to dry off and get changed. A few minutes later, I'm in the elevator heading up to our floor.
This guy is going to regret this. Why is he so fascinated with Davyna? I question myself as the elevator makes its way up to the residence floor.
The elevator doors open and I can't help but laugh at the sight in front of me. Totally not what I expected. Marcella is between Asher and with her hands out, holding them back Davyna with her from each other, and Davyna looks royally pissed. What a spitfire. Correction, my spitfire. She turns her head to look at me as she hears me laugh and her eyes soften the smallest bit before she turns and goes back to scowling at Asher.
I smirk. That's definitely a mate pull. Small, but it's there. I come back to the current situation as Davyna speaks.
"Who the hell do you think you are? You may have caught me off guard, but you're not going to lay another hand on me you piece of shit vampire." Her words come out seething, and she steps towards Asher and Marcella keeps her back with her hand.
"Davyna, settle down. We've got this."
"l don't need you guys to handle this. This fucker just needs to leave me ALONE!" She raises her voice, her anger clearly rising the more she stands there. I see Vincent emerge behind them just as I reach them from my side.
"What's going on here, Asher? Why approach her again?" lask, coming
to stand on Davyna's right side, and I can feel the anger coming off of her and she continues to death stare at Asher.
He scowls at me.
"l don't answer to you mutt." His eyes flash red. "But
you should to me though right?" Vincent signals for Marcella to back down and he steps in front of Asher, his eyes blazing. I see Asher take a small step back. That's right, Ashe... listen to your superior.
I move behind Davyna.
"Settle down." She looks back at me, still scowling
"Not a chance."
Vincent speaks again drawing the attention back to him. "If you think you're going to attempt anything like you did last night, you will perish right her....Stay away from her
"You should just step aside and allow it. She shouldn't be here, she's human. She doesn't belong here. It would be so easy for anyone to just snuff her out." He snaps his fingers. " And look at all of you, scrambling to protect her.
"She's under the same protection as we are, Asher. Her father is a
council member. She does indeed belong here." Vincent pauses but
then continues as he sighs.
"If you want to continue like this, Asher, you'll find that everyone here- myself, Marcella and Caleb, will make sure this is reported and you will be punished severely." I speak up.
"You do know that you're committing treason towards the
council, right? I didn't think you could be anymore of an idiot." He shouted at me,
"Whatever, watch your back Davyna. I'm not the only one who has a problem with this." He then turns and walks off toward the
elevator.
When he's gone, I step in front of Davyna.
"Are you okay?" She looks up at me with those stormy grey eyes. "Don't worry about me. I have to go meet my dad." She grabs her stuff from the floor and walks of.
Damn. This is turning into a bigger problem.
I then turn to Marcella and Vincent while mind-linking them both.
