“I like you.” “What?”, Zoey yelled at him. “You heard me… I know that you’re going to get married soon. But I want to apologize for the bad ways I treated you, manipulated you, and used you. I didn’t understand how to express myself and how to feel around you.”, Eddie said as he kept his eyes glued to the floor. “Wait, so you’re telling me you have liked me all along?”, Zoey questioned him as she furrowed her eyebrows. “Yes. Be with me instead, I can make you happy. I’m sorry for the way I rejected you back then. I’m so sorry, Zoe-Zoe.”, he muttered under his breath before pulling her into a tight and warm hug. “Eddie…” . . . Alex huffed as he paced around the house waiting for Zoey’s return but she didn’t come home. “Where the hell is she…”, he muttered under his breath before clenching his teeth tightly. (I’m not dumb…I saw who messaged her. Why would she hide it though? She’s not the type to cheat…), he thought to himself. “Argh…Zoey, you’re making me lose my mind.”, he
“Good job.”, Zoey said as she threw her head back. “Thanks! These men don’t know what we’re capable of.”, the girl said. (Her voice sounds familiar…), Zoey thought to herself. Zoey looked back at the girl and frowned while tilting her head to one side. Her eyes widened in surprise to see the resemblance. “I’m Alexandra, but people just call me Alexa, what about you? What's your name?”, Alexa asked as she smiled warmly at Zoey. Zoey was shocked but soon regained her posture. “I’m Zoey, nice to meet you.”, Zoey stated as she shook Alexa’s hand. But before Zoey could pull her hand back, Alexa tugged on her hand gently as she looked at the ring on her finger and then back at Zoey confused. “Uhm…Is something wrong?”, Zoey asked awkwardly. “No…nothing is wrong. Would you like to meet up at a restaurant?”, Alexa asked Zoey as she gave her brightest and warmest smile ever. “Sure…?”, Zoey answered. The two girls exchanged their phone numbers and went their own ways. . . . “Hey, A
Alex’s body stiffened up as he kept quiet and sat upright. “Zoey…there’s something I need to tell you.”, Alex stated as Zoey hear the tremor in his voice. “What’s wrong?”, Zoey asked as she furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. “The day I… bit you, you turned into a vampire and your powers awakened and became stronger.”, Alex said as he looked into her eyes for a reaction. “W-what…?”, Zoey muttered under her breath as her eyes widened in shock. “I-I’m sorry…I should have told you earlier…but-” “No, you don’t get to say that! This is my life, Alex!”, Zoey exclaimed as she cut him off in anger and stood up. “How long did you know about this?”, she asked as she clenched her fists tightly. “When you left the house after the incident with Sabrina, you used your powers on me…”, Alex’s voice trailed off. “Unbelievable…Just unbelievable! I can’t believe that you wouldn’t tell me something that carries such a huge impact on my life!”, Zoey yelled at him from the top of her lungs while he
Damion’s POV Damn…I forgot how loud Zoey can scream if the chance was given. I rubbed my hand over my ear and squinted in pain. I can’t blame her though, it’s kind of shocking to find out that werewolves and vampires aren’t only in fairytales, but also in our daily lives. We might not just notice them. She’s kind of cute …Shit. No, it’s not. This is going to be harder than I thought it would. I can’t fall for Zoey again, every time I look at her…I feel like I’m sinning. The bond is broken…but it takes time to get over the feelings unless you meet your next mate. I don’t even know if my next mate will be able to fix this, even if I would even have one. I ran my hand through my hair as I tried to think of where her friends would be, so I could go back. Yes, I need to go back… The very first day I met Zoey…I realized that I was already trapped…and I was her mate and she was mine… The day that Alex told me that he bit her…I felt a tight tug on my heart. The bond was semi-broken…and all
Alex’s POV “I-I’m so sorry Alex…I-”, was all Zoey could say before I cut her off. “I don’t want to hear it.”, I stated in a monotone and cold voice, he then turned to look at Damien, “Damien, I need you to track down the Parkinson’s family, that’s the only family that we know that has that abilities.” The Parkinson’s family is our greatest rival, both in business and in rankings. They can shapeshift, they’re vampires, of course, the sly types. “I’ll check on them.”, Damien said to me before he then walked in Zoey’s direction, placed a light kiss on her forehead, and gave her a soothing hug before he could leave. “As for you Alexa, it’s good to see you again, sis.”, I gave her a subtle nod before I started to pull Zoey’s wrist into another room. I closed the door and locked it before I could face her. “Explain. Now.”, I demanded from her, not sparing her any mercy. “You…already saw everything on the television.”, she muttered under her breath as she shook. ‘She’s hiding somethin
Zoey’s POV I woke up to two familiar voices and I suddenly remembered what was going on, I tread lightly toward Alex but just before I could reach their distance, I heard Alexa talking which made me freeze. “Dad didn’t have a natural death.”, I overheard her saying as I leaned by the near wall. “He loved The Queen, but once he started to get too close to her, Queen Mary’s blood killed him. She didn’t know, but he could feel that he was getting sick. He knew, but stayed with her till his last breath because he loved her.” My eyes widened in shock as I clasped my hands over my mouth. “Does that mean she’s our…?”, Alex asked quietly, making me wait for Alexa’s response to whether we were siblings. “No, and that’s not the issue.”, she stated. “Alex. You either choose love or death, everything you’ve done to build this company from scratch, or your wife.” I waited for Alex to talk, but all I could was dead silence. Tears welled up in disappointment. It was like he was trying to decide
“..Alex….Alex!”, Alexa called Alex, finally pulling him out of his state. Alexa started to get more worried as the months went by, she started to wonder if was the right choice to tell the couple, and she started to feel conflicted by her feelings and started to blame herself. But whenever she kept in touch with Damien, she started to feel butterflies in her stomach. Like he was meant for her and vice versa. “Alexa, let’s go forth with this plan…”, Alex’s voice trailed off with hesitation and regret in it. He wasn’t ready to move on from Zoey. Alexa kept Alex in hiding whilst Damien kept Zoey in hiding too. It was best for them to be separated so they could be safe. “Alex…I’m not forcing you to do this…especially not in a state where you can barely stand up. You don’t have to do this now. Just take a rest and we’ll talk about this when your mind is fresh.”, Alexa stated as she covered him with a blanket. “Alexa don’t talk shit to me…I’ve been looking for her for three months! And
“Zoey, run.”, Damien softly said before he was pulled away. Zoey’s body went cold but she quickly reacted. She ran towards him, pulled him back quickly, and transformed into a vampire. Her long nails were able to through the rope and she grabbed Damien and ran away back rapidly into the house. “Alex! Alexa!”, she roared. They quickly ran towards the voice to see Damien lying in her arms and her transformation. Zoey looked pale and cold, the short nails she once had, had grown out, and her sweet voice became deeper and rough. “Alexa…go take Damien into the car. We’re splitting up, it’ll be safer for us this way.”, Alex demanded in a stern but calm voice, not leaving room for Alexa to protest. Alexa did as she was told, now leaving Alex and Zoey alone in the room. “Zoey…? I know you’re in there…You need to get a grip on yourself. We need to get out of here quickly.”, he stated as he took slow and light steps towards her, ignoring the attackers that were outside. As soon as he was
