Chapter 237
Vincent's POV
I look at my mate, now completely silent as her red eyes start to fade. I look over at Caleb who seems to be just as shocked as Davyna is. She goes to back off of my lap and I stop her.
"Don't, love."I pull her into me and hold her tightly. I feel warm tears on my shoulder, but she stays quiet
"I'm sure there is an explanation. We already knew this was going to be a challenge. It's just another thing we have to figure out." I try to reassure her, but I honestly have no idea if I'm going to be successful.
She pulls away and looks at me, and I can see only small flecks of red left in her eyes. I pull her back in and kiss her softly. "What am 12" She asks quietly as we break the kiss.
"We will figure it out, love. Just let us." She nods and I wipe the
remaining tears from her face.
"I hate that we have to leave you after this... whatever we want to call it." Caleb states. She shakes her head.
"No, it's okay. I'm just...processing. You guys have to do your duties. I'll be okay, I promise," She climbs off of me, and heads over nod heads over to her closet and pulls out some clothes and then lays them on her bed. I get up as well, and put my shirt back on as Caleb grabs the food trays and places them on her dresser
"You guys have to pack and get ready to leave soon don't you?" Davyna says.
"We still have some time if there's anything you wanted to do
before we go."
"Sage, Marcella and I were going to go shopping later this week before Sage goes home, but maybe we can go now? I need a bit of a
distraction." Caleb gets up off her bed.
"I'll call her and see. It would be nice to get out of the compound for a little bit before we throw ourselves into work for the council"
"Try not to worry too much. We don't know everything just yet.
"Okay, I'll try." She replies and I kiss her forehead lightly before heading out
Davyna's POV
Both Caleb and Vincent are gone now, and l just got out of the shower. I've been in a daze ever since this morning. I'm shaken to the core. I tried to hide it, but I know Vincent picked up on it. He's too skilled at that for his own good. There's so much more to this then I thought, and honestly I have a gut feeling that it's only the beg honestly I have a gut feeling that it's only the beginning.
I sit down on my bed, reeling in my thoughts and I decide to lay back and stare at the ceiling. Why on earth would I have red eyes? Maybe it's just an effect of the mate bond with Vincent? I'm sure he would have told me if that could of been what happened, but again this whole human bonded to two supernatural males of the opposite species isn't.
They're a part of my life now, which means I have to deal with my
emotions and insecurities head on. So much for just being quiet, getting through living here while I search for information on mom's death. I sigh and get off my bed, discarding my towel to the floor. I put on my undenwear, bra and then a pair of black leggings, and a grey tank top.
Black, grey and dull. Perfect.
Sage and Marcella were "totally" down for shopping, so all of us are going in a little while. Also, Marcella said that she will stay with Sage and I while the boys are gone doing council duties. So that makes me feel a bit better. Being alone when I'm processing things can be a bit rough, I'll admit.
I brush through my wet hair and decide to style my curls with some
mousse and leave them down today. I skip the makeup, but I put on
some moisturizer and sunscreen and some lip balm so I can feel a little normal. Just as I'm finishing up, my phone pings with a message. I walk over to check it. It's a group chat with Caleb and Vincent. We finally exchanged numbers this morning before they left. Seemed like the next step right?
C- Sage and Marcella are ready, they just messaged to say they'll meet us down at the car
D- "l be a few more minutes. Feeding before we go."
C- Gotcha. Davyna?
D- I'm here, I'm almost ready myself I'll meet you downstairs.
C- i let the other girls know. See you soon. God my texts even sound depressed.
I put my phone back down and grab my wallet and put it in my small
backpack with a few other essentials. I double check myself in the
mirror, and then grab my key card and head out my door. I pause in the hallway as my door closes behind me and look down the hall towards. Vincent's and Caleb's suites.
Still thinking of this morning, I make a last minute decision and walk down to Vincent's door. I pause and then knock. A few seconds later, Vincent opens his door.
"Davyna, are you okay?" He asks. I look at him.
'I will be, I think. Can I come in?" He nods and steps aside for me to walk past him. Once he closes the door, I turn to face him.
"I need to see what you saw this morning. I need to see if it happens again" He rubs his temples.
"Are you sure?"
"Vincent, this was a huge shock to me. but I can't even really believe it,because I never saw it for myself. I'm trying really hard here to not just shut down. This isn't normal to me, like you and Caleb. You grew up this world. I didn't. I don't even know what my normal is anymore.
Please, just help me." I plead, hating how vulnerable I sound.
"Okay, come here." He reaches his hand out and I take it. He leads me back to his bedroom. Black, black and more black. Vincent's bedroom walls, floors and most of his furniture are all black with different finishes.
"Sit on my bed, I'll bring the mirror over." I nod and do as he says. He pulls what looks like an old vintage Victorian floor mirror over and places it in front of me. I look at myself in the mirror, wishing maybe I did put on more makeup. Oh well.
Vincent sits beside me and I turn to face him.
"Are you absolutely sure?" He asks.
"Yes."
"Okay. Here goes." He cuts his neck again like earlier and again, I'm drawn to it almost immediately. I quickly dip my head down and taste his blood for the second time today. It feels as it did before, warm nectar sliding down my throat. I feel Vincent tense, obviously this having more of an effect on him this time around. He pulls me away from him a few moments later, and kisses me, licking his blood off my lips. I open my eyes and see his eyes blazing, burning into mine.
"It happened again, love.. take a look." He goes behind me on the bed as I turn to look at myself and I gasp. I look like myself, but my eyes truly are red. I'm taken aback, but it oddly feels, okay? I'm still shocked and trying to process, but man am I all over the place. I can see Vincent's reflection behind me. which takes my attention away from my inner spiraling for a moment, and as I see both sets of red glowing eyes reflecting in the mirror, I'm suddenly convinced.
"l can't be human. This can't be possible." He squeezes my shoulders in reassurance and then says,
"Caleb and I have some theories, but we can talk about it more once him and l are back, okay?" I nod and turn to face Vincent again now that he's behind me.
"How does this make you feel? Me, with these?" I point to my eyes
"You're even more stunning to me, love. But it's not important. I still feel the same way for you regardless of your eye colour." He pulls me in for another kiss. I take another look back at myself in the mirror, noticing that they re fading back to my normal stormy grey
"We should go. The others are probably waiting"
"Shit, yea h. Uh.. thank you. This helped a bit." I get up as Vincent smiles and replies,
"I'm glad!" He quickly cleans up, - thankfully I didn't leave a
big mess - then grabs his stuff and then we head out together. A few moments later, we emerge outside and see Caleb, Sage, and Marcella waiting by the car at the front of the compound.
"Finally!" Sage exclaims, her arms in the air as we get closer to them.
"Sorry." I say as walk past them and get into the car. Everyone else piles in and we make our way to the local shops in the town nearest to the compound.
"Oh Davyna, you need to try this!!" Sage shoves her milkshake over in my direction. All of us decided to stop to grab some food fist at Caleb's request, since I didn't eat much after the whole ordeal this morning, and I couldn't fight it. I really was hungry.
Caleb and Vincent are on either side of me, with Marcella and Sage on the other side of the table. I pick up her glass, take a sip and it's heaven in my mouth.
"That's really good!" I push her glass back towards her. She grabs it and takes another sip and sighs in content. I find myself smiling, as table conversations continue on.
