Chapter 232
Davyna's POV
The kiss is hard, but ina good way. I'm incredibly surprised at first, but I find myself relaxine into his a
5 arms as s he holds olds me tight, deepening the
kiss more. I bring my hands up and around his neck to support myself, the intoxicating waves of warmth making me weak. He runs his hands down my back, then proceeds to cup my ass and pulls me up, my legs straddling around his hips. He breaks the kiss to trail kisses down my neck, and then I feel cool grass and solid ground under my back.
He then looks up to meet my eyes, his body over mine, breathing just as hard as I am. I bring my bandaged hand up and move his hair that has fallen into his face, my eyes never leaving his. I then trail my fingers down his face and when I reach his neck, I pull him down for another kiss. His hands roam my body, leaving trails of tingles wherever he touches. I run my hands through his hair, down his shoulders and them his arms. My god those muscles.. he feels so strong.
When we break the kiss this time, he shuffles off of me and we sit up on the grass. My heart is pounding so hard in my ears that I wouldn't hear damn train barreling towards me even if I saw it coming I try to catch my breath, and I watch him rake his hand through his hair and rest his head in his palm, looking at me.
My hands pull at the cuffs straining my arms above my head as he
"Was that okay?" He asks. I clear my throat and nod my head at him. I'm,touched that he's making sure I'm okay. I smile slightly.
"t.was more then okay. That was..'m sorry I can't even speak right
now." I shake my head trying to clear the obvious fog that is engulfing my brain at the moment.
I've been wanting to do that ever since we first met." He states and my heart flutters in response.
"You have?" He nods.
"If you don't know this already Davyna, I really, really like you."
I blush as he moves to sit beside me.
"I'm sorry about your hand" He grabs it and kisses the bandages. "It wasn't your fault. I kind of lost control myself after this morning and acted like a complete idiot:."
"We'll have to get Vincent to take a look at it, make sure it's okay."
"Sure. Couldn't hurt to have someone else take a look." I gasp as Caleb cups the side of my face and kisses my forehead.
"I really enjoyed that kiss it was kind of intense, but I....enjoyed it too.!"
"Then we'll have to do it again, but not when everyone else is watching"
"What?" 1 turn and look behind us and I see Marcella, Sage and Vincent all at the door to the compound. Once l acknowledge them Marcella smiles, and then Sage comes running out screaming. "FINALLY!!!!!" I blush even harder and bring my knees up to hide my face.
"Oh god." Caleb laughs deeply as Sage reaches us and is bursting with excitement.
"So you guys dating now?" She says as she puts her hands on her hips and winks at shoot my head up and turn and look at her. "SAGE!" Caleb still just laughs at us.
"We should head back inside, looks like it might rain" I
look up and see dark clouds forming, and the sky becoming a dull grey colour.
Caleb gets up and holds out his hand for me. I take it and he helps me up. Sage goes running back towards the door as I walk with Caleb. Shock crosses my face as I come to realization that Vincent saw us kiss.
"What about Vincent? Is he..." I don't get to complete my sentence.
"Don't worry about it. He's happy about it!"
"How is he? I don't want things to be weird. and him and I.." Caleb
cuts me off again.
"Please don't worry. It'll all make sense soon enough. don't shut him out okay?"
It will make sense? What is with all these cryptic messages lately? What do they know that I don't? How can I not worry? I feel something for Vincent to0. but I kissed Caleb first. I never in a million years thought this would be a problem I'd have to deal with.
"Okay, if you say so." Caleb smiles at me as we reach the door. He lets me walk in first and I see Vincent with a smile on his face. I can't help but feel guilty.
Vincent's POV
As we all head back into the archives after Caleb and Davyna's kiss, I take a moment to process the information Caleb and I found. It honestly seems as though it's the best fit but there isn't anyway to prove it until Davyna is aware of both Caleb and I being her mates. So I guess that's the next reasonable step. We can't possibly continue leading her back and forth like this and expecting her to cope well. I sit down back at the centre table where I was earlier, Caleb and Davyna sit next to each other
nearby chatting, and Marcella goes to a bookshelf near the front.
I'm interrupted by Sage, who snaps her fingers in my face lightly. "Oh I'm sorry. Sage. Did you ask me something?" She nods
"How can I convince my parents to let me live here with Davyna?"
Everyone stops what they're doing and looks at me. No pressure.
I look at her.
"That's an interesting question. How do your parents feel about Davyna being here? You've been friends for a long time right?"
"Yeah we have. They say they don't mind it, I guess they kind of see it as it's her home." She shrugs.
"But i don't know if that's enough to let me stay here." I think for a moment. Davyna cuts in.
"Sage, you should also get my dad to talk to them. Since he has a position on the council, he can easily be made aware of most
things that happen here and ease any fears they might have. I'm sure he wouldn't mind."
"You could work at Bloodhaven with Davyna and I." Marcella states as she comes to sit down.
"We could always use the help. Tell your parents you have a job lined up already."
"Sage looks between us all, clearly bewildered at our responses. You guys really are amazing. Davyna, you sure picked a decent group to be around." She laughs,
"l guess you could say that."
I love hearing her laugh. Seems she's definitely in better spirits then she was earlier. Good one, Caleb.
"Now Davyna, I know you wanted to know some more about our
species. Do you have any questions? This is the best place to be for infoand then asks her first question.
Were you born a vampire, Vincent?"
"I was, yes. I am one of the few pureblooded vampires here at the
Hollow. Marcella and my parents are also pureblooded, along with a
couple others from other clans who live here. The others are turmed
vampires, but that doesn't make them any less of a being. Being
pure blooded is mainly used for hierarchy purposes in our race. An order from a pure blood is almost absolute"
"Is that why Asher listened to you when you told him to leave me
alone?" I nod.
"Asher is not a pure blood, so yes. He had no choice but to
listen to me when I addressed him about you."
"I'm actually Vincent's adopted sister. " Marcella adds to divert from the topic of Asher.
"When my parents died, Celeste and Cyrus took me in."
"Are your parents pretty important, then?" Davyna asks.
I reply,
"Yes. My parents, Celeste and Cyrus Valdun are the head vampire
council members. They oversee all vampire relations. I am their only blood heir"
Davyna stutters.
"Wait. so.. so you're going to take over for them someday? On the council?"
"Yes, I will be. Slowly as I've gotten older, I've been given more
responsibilities and have been helping my parents oversee everything to prepare me for when I do eventually take over for them."
"What about you Caleb?" She asks. He clears his throat. "Uh well..l am the son of Kellan and Meira King, Alpha and Luna of the largest werewolf pack, Midnight Moon. They oversee all werewolf relations on the council. As the only son, I am born with Alpha blood and destined to take over the pack after my mother and father, as well as their seats on
the council."
"So basically you're both super important then." Sage says matter-of factly
"Holy shit." Davyna says and I chuckle.
"Speaking or isn't yours and Caleb's coronation ball happening
in just over a month or something? I got the request last week from the council to plan the performances." Marcella asks as she looks at Caleb and then me.
I shake my head.
"I really wish we didn't have to hold it. It's just an
excuse for our parents to throw a party. We're both well past the age of needing a coronation." Caleb chimes in.
"My mother expects me to find my mate there." l glance
at him, knowing full well that won't be happening considering our mates sitting not even a foot from him. I see Davyna's pained reaction to Caleb's statement. It's only for a slight second, but she seemed defeated.
Just wait, love
"You guys are party poppers!" Sage starts. "Just let them throw it and make it a hell of a night." Davyna looks at her and replies with a chuckle.
"Yeah, says the one wwho passed out cold at the last one"
"l was tired! Shut up!" Sage tries so hard not to laugh herself.
I check my watch.
"It's getting late, we should head back for now. If you guys have any other questions, you can always ask us or come here and look for yourself"
"Thank you, Vincent." Davyna looks at me and smiles slightly as she gets up and we all walk out together.
Davyna's POV
Sage and I are back in my suite, get that's what Caleb said his mother expects him to find at this so called coronation. Didn't Marcella say that Rika was her mate? What is amate?
Does that mean that the kiss with Caleb today was just a fluke? And
what about the fact that both these men that I'm clearly torn between are pretty much vampire and werewolf royalty?
Ugh. Of course. Just my luck.
As I try to think more on what Marcella had told me about mates, my
head is hit with a sudden sharp pain. I sit up on my bed, shut my eyes and hold my head, trying to massage the pain away but it keeps
increasing in intensity.
I can't help but cry out and Sage comes running into my room,
toothbrush hanging out of her mouth. She pulls it out, swallows the
toothpaste suds in her mouth and comes and sits on the bed.
"Are you okay?"
"My head...I can hardly get words out.
"need something...pain." Sage goes and gets some pain meds and a glass of water from my bathroom and hands them to me. I quickly pop the pills in my mouth and down the entire glass of water. After about 15 minutes, the pain goes away enough that I can finally open my eyes.
"What was that? Sage asks as she changes into her pajamas."
"I don't know, it felt so odd. But maybe a migraine?"
"You feeling better now though?" She asks. Inod and reply.
"Yeah, maybe l just need some sleep."
"Hope you dream of your hot werewolf man" I throw my pillow at her, it misses and she throws it back and I catch it.
"Seriously, how was kissing him? It looked like you guys weren't going to stop."
I can't lie to her. I clear my throat.
"It was...amazing honestly. I just lost any sense of anything. It was just him and l. It was insane how good it felt." Sage squeals, acting like a giddy teenager.
"Think you'll fuck him?" My jaw drops.
"SAGE WITHERSON! MY GOD!"I feel myself blushing.
"It was one kiss, I'm not even going there right now.
"You should."
"Stop! You've got such a dirty mind." She turns off the overhead light and climbs into bed beside me.
"Meh. it makes life interesting."
"Yeah okay. Goodnight." I turn off my lamp beside my bed and roll away from her.
"Goodnight, hope you 'dream' well." She says teasingly. I smack
behind me and hit the covers over her leg, hard.
"Ouch."
"Serves you right." I laugh and finally close my eyes to sleep.
