Chapter 263
Caleb's POV
I lay in bed, finally feeling more content after last night's ambush by Renee. I've got to give it to Davyna. She really is a powerhouse. Strong,not only in body, but in mind. She brought me back from the edge when I seriously thought I was going to lose it
was just a girl who was dealt a shitty hand in the room. I roll over in the bed, trying not to disturb her as she sleeps. I watch her as she breathes evenly, clearly having a calm and peaceful sleep. Her black curls are splayed everywhere around her, some trapped under her, some sitting comfortably over the covers, and some in her face. I trace my finger along her face as I move away some of the hair from her face, Her eyelids flutter and slowly open and I'm greeted with a small smile and those stunning grey eyes that I love so much.
"Morning handsome." She says, her voice thick with sleep. I smile at the compliment.
"Good morning, baby. How did you sleep?" She stretches, arching her back and revealing her toned stomach as the blankets adjust with her movement
"Great. Hovw about you?" She asks, slight concern in her tone.
"I slept alright, baby. A lot bet better then I would have if you weren't here." I lean in and kiss her gently. She loops her arms around my neck and pulls me into a deeper kiss. I growl as she pulls me on top of her, and wraps her legs around my waist. She's turning this into a morning make out session, and man am I ever down. Feeling her under me, some of her exposed skin touching mine, it's enough for me to want to take her right here. But, I want to do this right, so I'll hold out a little longer. I break the feverish kisses after a short while, both of us breathing heavily and the sexual tension between us thickening with every second that passes.
"That is it. I'm mating and marking you tonight." She giggles. "Are you serious?" I nod.
"Very, you little tease." I run my hands up her body as she shivers.
"I want to feel you under me, moaning from pleasure and screaming my name." I see blood rush to her cheeks, turning them a slight shade of pink as she blushes at my words.
"Now who's teasing!" She states as she covers her face in
embarrassment. I laugh as I sit up and stretch myself. She sits up behind me and starts to massage my shoulders. God her hands feel so good. She leans into me, continuing to artfully relieve the tension from my body.
"What is the plan for today?" She asks, before kissing the back of my neck. I want to never leave this bed.
"I was going to workout today for a few hours and then I have to attend few meetings."
"Can I come?" She asks and I turn to face her.
"Of course you can, baby."
She smiles, but it doesn't last long as I see her frown and clutch her throat, her eyes slightly tinged red.
"Davyna? You okay?" I ask and she shakes her head.
"Uh.. I think l'm thirsty." Her breathing becomes more ragged and her eyes fully change, glowing brightly as she looks at me.
"Give me a second. l get out of bed and head into the mini fridge in the workout room and grab a bottle of blood. I return to the room and toss it to Davyna."
"Try that. I stocked some here, just in case." She nods and
takes a couple small gulps. What happens next, I completely don't
expect. Davyna leaps out of bed and heads into the bathroom and I hear her yomit. I rush in behind her.
"Davyna?" She shakes her head.
"I'm going to call Vincent okay? This is a bit out of my expertise." She nods, wiping her mouth and standing to her feet as I walk back into the bedroom to grab my phone. I hear Davyna run the water in the sink as l dial Vincent. Answering on the first ring, I decide to put him on speaker as Davyna emerges from the bathroom, wiping her mouth again on a towel. We both sit on the bed.
"Hello? Caleb?"
"Hey Vincent..we've got a bit of a problem. Davyna's thirsty. l just tried giving her the bottled blood and she vomited it back up almost immediately."
I hear him sigh. "She may not be able to tolerate it. AmI on speaker?"
"Yes"
"Davyna?"
She replies,"Hi Vincent."
"Was there any pain, do you feel off in anyway?"
She shakes her head. "No. I feel fine now that I threw it up."
"It could be an intolerance of some sort, love. Try feeding off of Caleb. If my blood can sustain you, surely his can too."
"l couldn't possibly.." Vincent cuts her off
"Try, Davyna. It's either that, or you'll be a good amount of discomfort until you do."
She sighs loudly. "Okay."
"Caleb, make sure she does. don't take no for an answer."
"You've got it. I'll message and let you know what happens."
"Please do. Chat soon."
"Bye, V."
I hang up the phone and toss it on the side table. Davyna looks at me with a worried expression.
"l can manage." I shake my head.
"No you can't. It's fine to feed off me baby. You need it"
"Are you sure it's okay?" She asks, her voice barely a whisper. Luckily my wolf hearing can still pick it up. I move closer to her on the bed and pull her chin up so she looks at me.
"It's okay, I promise. I don't want you to be uncomfortable at all while you're here, so please baby. Just feed off me." I pull her into me, and I hear her breathing become shaky.
"Okay." She states and suddenly she pins me back on the bed, her hair falling softly over us as our eyes meet. Hers are red and glowing, and I can see the small points of her fangs just past the edges of her lips. She leans down and kisses my neck. l arch my head away giving her access and then she strikes. I've been bitten by a vampire before, but not to feed. I stiffen as I feel her
fangs pierce me. It's not overly painful for me, more of a dull throb I hear her taking small grips as she takes her sustenance. I wrap my arms around her as she continues to feed for a few short moments. She then releases me and licks the wound, and I shudder, slightly aroused. She backs off of me and I sit up, her eyes still glowing brightly as she wipes her mouth I understand what Víncent meant by Alpha blood. I know I've tasted it before, but with my new senses of power that comes from that blood. It wasn't too much?
"No, it was completely fine. I didn't hurt you did 1?" She asks quietly as her eyes starts to fade back to grey.
"No, baby. It had the opposite effect, actually. How do you feel?"
"I feel completely normal. No signs of it coming back up" I pull her onto my lap and brush her hair out of her face.
"Good. You only have to ask if you ever need more, okay?" She nods and kiss her gently, tasting the remnants of my blood in her mouth.
"Ready to go sweat?" l ask her and she nods. "After that? Most
definitely."
Davyna's POV
Caleb's blood. My god. I swear the sheer power in his blood kept me
fueled throughout the entire rest of the day. We kept to ourselves, since Caleb didn't want any other wolves to smell his blood and discover my little secret. We had an amazing workout for about 3 hours, and did Caleb ever not take it easy on me! Caleb made us a small meal after that we shared as we chatted away about such random things - our likes, dislikes and funny stories - and now currently I'm sitting outside the front of the house. having just seen Caleb off for the last set of his meetings. I decided that I would go with him another time, as I still feel pretty wired from feeding off of him The sun is just starting to set, and as I'm sitting on the front step admiring the wonderful sky, I'm interrupted.
"Didn't go with your Alpha?" My head snaps to the figure in front of me. My eyes widen as I recognize the voice, and finally the face as he approaches me.
"What the fuck are you doing here Asher?"
"l came to warn you. Don't come back to the Hollow. Or you'll regret it."
"l highly doubt that, Asher. It's you who should be watching your back." I say as I stand up from the stairs. Asher inches closer to me.
"You're not even fully awakened yet, freak. You want to come after me? Go ahead. But l'd think about who might see you here."
"Funny coming from a vampire that shouldn't be here in the first place."
I keep strong, using everything I have to not show any surprise or
weakness that he might try to exploit. Although, his words shake me to the core. He knows what I am. How?
"I'm just following orders. Heed the warning, Davyna. Don't test it."
"You've said what you came to say, now get the fuck out of here." I close the distance between us, and my eyes flash red.
"Careful now..." I'll take my leave. Hope to never see you again." He walks away from me and heads into the tree line to my right and disappears. I immediately head back into the house and sprint upstairs into the bathroom. I splash my face with water to shock my system, and as I look at my hands, they shake terribly. How does he know?
I go back into the bedroom and grab my book and start to read, and
finally I can feel myself calming down.
"I'll talk to Caleb and Vincent about this and we can figure it out." I startle awake, and meet a pair of blue eyes. "Sorry if l startled you baby. You were going to drop your book, so I moved it." I nod, appreciating that he wanted to save my book.
"Sorry I'm so late. The meetings took longer than expected."
"That's okay. Is everything good?" Caleb nods.
"Yes, all is well. It's mainly since I haven't been home in a while and a lot of the other wolves were asking me about you honestly."
"Of course." I reply with a smile.
"Said all good things, I hope?" I laugh as he hovers over me. "Nothing less." He leans down and kisses me gently.
As he rises away from me, our eyes lock and I bite my lip.
"You tired?" Caleb asks me, and l immediately pick up on his vibe. Let's go Alpha.
"Not one bit. I had a good nap, why do you ask?" I call him out and he chuckles as he picks me up.
"I told you l was going to mate and mark you tonight...get ready baby. Your wolf will be making herself known soon, but not until you scream my name.!"
I hide my face. I'm still not used to him talking so dirty to me. I mean Vincent hide my face. I'm still not used to him talking so dirty to me. I mean Vincent did some while I was with him, but Caleb is so much more brash. You think I would be used to it by now, but nope. Here I am blushing madly like a little schoolgirl who hasn't heard a single dirty word in her life.
"Indulge me in one last wolf tradition?" Caleb asks as he carries me into the bathroom.
"What tradition is that?" I ask as he sets me down and
starts the shower.
"A male always grooms his female before they mate for the first time. It's a sign of respect, and a way for us to connect."
"Groom me?" l ask, genuinely curious. He chuckles.
"I'll wash you, pamper you from head to toe. You can do the same to me if you're comfortable." I smirk.
"Oh. I'm more than comfortable" He looks at me, his blue eyes
smoldering.
"I guess that is a yes, then?" I nod. He turns and checks the
water temperature.
"Ready?" He asks me as he approaches me, my breath catching as he
exerts his power over me, not holding back any longer.
