Zia's P. O. V.

I got out of the shower and wore a set of available clothes, Tyler, must have kept them here.

I looked around the room, and just then my eyes fell on the take-out packet that Tyler left for me at the table.

I don't know how I feel about lying to him, this is not right, I was not supposed to hide that I was a vampire.

And now with that, I looked at my hand, it was healing. All my injuries were healing but I have not had blood since the first time I had a hunt.

I killed an animal, that was the only way not to harm anyone but still fulfill this blood thirst.

And now I want blood, but no I can not have any, Tyler will know if I go hunting, they'll know that I am not a human.

I need to make Tyler's and my feelings stronger before I take any step, telling him the truth is hard.

He is a human, he is my beloved but still a human, humans do not feel the beloved bond with that intensity as vampires do.

I waited for a few seconds to control my thirst but waiting is not working for me right now. 

This is weird when I was a human, waiting for a minute or two helped me keep my feelings, desires, and addictions at bay.

My nails dug into my skin I closed my eyes, and I gulped my saliva audibly as I opened my eyes.

The mirror right in front of the bed is telling me the story that the Vampire in me was hungry as fuck.

I need blood, oh God, I need blood so bad!

I have to go, there are a lot of vampires here, Tyler wouldn't know if  I take the blood off any animal around here.

I walked out of the room and looked around, I am already on the stairs before I know, I need to be out.

I was about to walk out of the castle when my eyes fell on a person who had a cup in his hand.

I hide behind the pillar, I don't want others to observe me, I know these vampires are not that sharp but still, I need to be careful.

" o negative, I love it, " the red liquid that was seen on his lips.

Immediately, I knew they stored blood around here. The Vampire did not pay attention to his surroundings and enjoyed his blood.

I can not blame him, having a blood thirst is like that only. You won't know what you're doing, you want to know who is in front of you, all you'll know is, the blood, the need to have blood in your mouth, to taste it.

The Matlic taste makes vampire crazy for blood.

There is even a theory that vampires lack iron and that is why they drink blood, little did they know, a vampire's thirst for blood is way more than just fulfilling the need for iron.

As he walked out, my eyes scanned every possible corner, to know if there is a threat. But thankfully there was no one around.

I made my way towards the kitchen and opened the cabinet but it just had a stock of disposals.

Opening another cabinet I came across nothing, it was empty.

Suddenly Tyler's words rang in my ears, if he stays around here then there must be human food here too, I looked around but found nothing.

Just the big door of cold storage was pending check.

I sighed, looks like I have to go and hunt blood but still, I gave it a shot.

I opened the door and immediately my eyes fell on red color packages.

Blood!

I quickly held a few and looked around to make sure there was no one but then I heard footsteps.

Shit!

I quickly placed the packages back in the cold storage before I ran to hide behind one of the pillars.

This time too, it was a vampire, I saw him taking out a packet and pouring it into the disposable cup, and covering it with a lid.

The smell was short-lived but it was enough to make my mouth water, I held the pillar tightly, I have to control myself until my way to that cold storage is clear and good.

The person walked away to enjoy his blood, I walked towards the kitchen and quickly opened the door to the cold storage.

I tried to calm myself by taking a deep breath but it just intensified my desire to have blood.

I just wanted to grab a packet and drink it straight from the packet. But I can't risk it what If Tyler walks in here and see me drinking blood?

He'll run to the mountains the very second he'll find out, at least I don't want him to find out about me like that.

I held a few packets quickly and held them but all of a sudden my arm collided with the door of the cold storage and all the packets fell making a loud sound.

" oh fuck! " I was still in my shocked state when in the very next second I saw Tyler standing in front of me.

Oh shit! He can't know, he can't know right now.

" Zia," he looked at me, his voice was so soft that it almost made me cry.

I parted my lips to say something but no words came out.

He asked me what I was doing there, I could say the truth so I lied that I was looking for food, human food.

He looked guilty for a second before he masked his expression.

I wonder what is making him guilty, is he lying to me about something?

Then I asked him why packets. I genuinely wanted to know why there were packets and just so many, how they even manage to get this much blood.

he told me, it's donated blood, and vampire king doesn't kill for blood thirst.

Well, at least one good thing with that idiot who has a resistance stone.

Tyler helped me pick up the packets, my food was basically been taken out of my hand but I couldn't do a thing.

Not a thing.

Lies! Ugh, I groaned inwardly, I was irritated as hell and now I can not even go out to hunt because Tyler was around.

Without looking at Tyler I walked back to my room hurriedly and shut the door behind me.

I need to calm myself down before I unleash my secret in front of my beloved.
