#Chapter219Lila's POV."Your land is stunning," he commented as he looked around the area.His whole body was tense as we drove through the pack gates. He gaped around, taking in the sights. He looked shocked and maybe in awe. He didn't relax until we left the main streets and drove through the little country lane that led to my house.1"Being back in the countryside is amazing." I smiled to myself. "I hate the city... I don't like the noise and smells." I cringed, chuckling."I can't believe I used to live so close... I'm from Burscott." He murmured. I glanced at him and gasped. "We moved not long after the seer visited us." He whispered.I sucked in a breath as my house came into view. Burscott isn't far from Clovelly at all. If he hadn't moved, I would have found him years ago.I pulled up outside of my house and switched the engine off. I turned in my seat and took a long-winded breath. "I searched for you," I sighed.He smiled at me weakly. "I think I did too. I used to
#Chapter220Alarix's POV."So... The keyring." I laughed."Nope... Not having this conversation." She groaned. I chuckled and bumped her shoulder with mine. I spotted the keyring before she hid it. I thought it was amusing.We were strolling through the forest, following the map towards the house. The house her parents had built for her... A house for both of us to live in. I was completely astounded when they told us.I'm still blown away at how welcoming they've been. There was no hostility towards me at all. I suppose they've had years to come to terms with a vampire joining their family."I still can't get over how beautiful everything is around here," I stated again as I looked around.I peeped at Lila from the corner of my eyes. She looked nervous and like she wanted to say something. I stopped walking and stood in front of her. She sucked in her bottom lip, looking like she was about to cry. I frowned and swiped my thumb against her bottom."What's wrong?" I asked.Sh
#Chapter221Lila's POV"So... Do you like this house?" I asked apprehensively, scratching the back of my neck, standing in the middle of the kitchen.I absolutely adore the house. It's been built and decorated to my taste, but I don't know if it's to Alarix's liking. He didn't give anything away as we looked around. He kept an indifferent expression on his face throughout the whole tour."It's, um, huge." He drawled, gawking around the kitchen. His eyes were wide, and his mouth was slightly parted.I followed his eyes, taking in all the details. The kitchen was modern and classy. It was all black and white with a white marble finish on the countertops. Patio doors were leading to a beautiful massive back garden."But do you like it? Do you want to live here?" I breathed. I want him to feel relaxed with me. I want him to feel like this is his home as much as mine.He spun around, lifting his brow at me. "I've already said... Wherever you are, that's where I want to be." He smirke
#Chapter222Lila's POV."I'm glad you're here too," I replied. I planted a firm kiss over his heart before gazing up at him. "More than you know." I breathed. "So... Are you hungry?" I questioned.He smiled down at me shaking his head. "Are you sure? You could hunt? I could make you something? You could feed on me?" I fired questions at him. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I was acting like his mum... A good mum, at least.I want to make sure he's comfortable and happy here. I don't want him to feel embarrassed or to hide when he needs to feed. Once in a while, Lola hunts. It's not necessary as human food works just as well for us, but Lola likes giving in to her animalistic side now and again.He shook his head and smiled down at me. "Lila, baby, I promise I'm ok." He chuckled.I nodded and sighed. "Sorry, I badgered you with the questions," I muttered awkwardly."It's getting late... You should probably get some rest if you're going to be in trouble tomorrow." He sm
#Chapter223Lila's POV."Here... These should fit. You're coming with Elias and me tomorrow," He beamed as he gave Alarix a bag."Um, thank you," Alarix countered, looking perplexed.I gaped at Levi and grabbed his shirt, pulling him back. "What's happening tomorrow?" I quizzed."Well, we're going to sort Alarix out with everything he needs." Levi grinned. "Here, mum sent this for you. Bring Alarix to the packhouse in the morning." He mentioned as he handed me a bag.I nodded my head slowly as I watched him saunter out of the house. "You don't have to go with them." I blurted, spinning around to face Alarix.He chuckled and shook his head. "I'll go... I can get to know them." He smiled.I took a deep breath then nodded. "Well, you can get dressed in the bedroom. I'm going to get a quick shower." I yawned, moving towards the stairs."Hey," He grasped my arm gently and let out a breath. "Are you happy that I'm here?" He whispered.I reached up and planted a firm quick kiss on
#Chapter224Lila's POV"What? What would happen?" I exasperated."He's hot, isn't he? Sweating, shivering, making awful sounds?" He asked."What's going on?" I growled."Bloodlust, Lila. He needs to feed." He sighed. "Animal blood alone isn't going to satisfy the hunger in him." He whispered.I gasped and dragged in a shaky breath. "Got it." I drawled, letting out my breath slowly."Wait!" He blurted. "There is another option..." He hesitated, taking a deep breath. "We could make him go cold turkey, so to speak. The risks are high, and he may not survive it, but his bloodlust will only get worse, and he'll be murderous." He continued.I snarled, a rasping, deep sound echoing throughout the bathroom. "Why the fuck would you even suggest that?" I hissed."Lila, vampires feed on human blood for years. They build up a tolerance for it; they don't get addicted. He's not used to human blood." He sighed. "He's drunk so much human blood and vampire blood. There's no saying what it's g
#Chapter225Lila's POVI pulled him along to the bedroom without breaking our kiss. As soon as we entered the bedroom, he spun me around and shoved me against the door, closing it."I'm sorry," he mumbled between kisses. "I should have told you I needed to feed. I was embarrassed." He whispered, pulling away and staring down at me."It's ok... This is new for us both." I smiled up at him. "We've been living in different worlds... We need to learn to join them together." I continued.I liked my fingers through his and led him towards the bed. I sat on the edge and scooted back. I patted the space beside me. "Are you sure?" He asked as he sat beside me.I nodded and leaned up. "I've never been so sure of anything." I breathed before climbing over him and straddling his waist."You know once the bond is complete, the..." I pressed my lips against him firmly and hummed, wrapping my arms around his neck.I know marking each other will start the undoing. The prophecy will come into
#Chapter226Lila's POV."I'm on my way," Amari burst through the link."But you don't know where I am?" I puzzled."I may have made your brother mad." She cackled."You woke him up?" I grinned to myself as I could imagine his face as she pounded on the door.Amari lives in the packhouse with her mate, James. They're both warriors. James joined us after he'd completed the course at KS Training Centre. I trained Amari, even though she didn't need much training. She needed to learn to channel her power from the Dark Wolf. Once she had done that, she was unstoppable."Woke him up, no... Disturbed him, yes." She guffawed.I chuckled and shook my head."I'm in your back garden... I think."I stood up and went towards the door. I slid the door open before slipping outside. The cold air felt amazing. I inhaled and sighed. The smell of nature filled my senses; an instant calmness washed over me.My eyes settled on Amari and Elias. Amari was scanning her eyes at the house. "Elias?"
