Khloe's POV:
Nico did the same thing for both lunch and dinner, left me here and ordered me something once he got back.
I wondered how long this would go on.
Not because I wanted to be near Xander again, but just because I really didn't like being left alone here.
Despite no one except Nico being able to get in here, I still didn't feel comfortable alone.
I sighed, looking out the window at the stars.
The moon was almost full, meaning the Blood Moon was almost here.
I tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear, fingers trailing down to the place that Nico first bit me.
Nico obviously didn't succeed in his 'wean
Nico's POV:She actually looked peaceful this morning as she slept. Both her face and her body looked completely relaxed.I was honestly quite surprised by what she did last night. She never struck me as the kind of person that would try something like that.Even though it really wasn't that big of a deal.Judging by the look on her face when I 'caught her' she most definitely thought that it was.Then again she pretty much thinks that everything is a big deal, that's just how she is.I glanced down at her, watching her chest steadily rise and fall.The heat that her body gave off was one of the main reasons that I didn't mind sleeping with her at my side.
Khloe's POV:I've found that I've been able to feel a lot more comfortable around Nico since he has begun to let me sleep at his side.And that really didn't help for when he left me in the room alone.If anything, it just made me feel more nervous.It was like he had become my safe haven, at least, that's what it felt like.And I'm pretty sure that he has come to notice it as well.I looked up at him as he exited the closet from my place on his bed.His stress had grown in the past couple of days, yet I still didn't know why.I'm guessing that it partially had to do with his work, but it felt like that wasn't t
Khloe's POV:The dining room was more crowded than I remember it being. Even so, I was still partially happy that Nico decided to take me with him today.He was right about the blood moon stressing the vampires out. I could see it on most of their faces.I could even tell that it was quieter than usual like everyone could feel the weird tension in the air as they chatted amongst themselves.Today was not a day that really anyone enjoyed.Even the pets and slaves were more tense than usual, most of them probably wondering if they were ever going to see another sunrise.I slowly took a deep breath, trying in vain to relax against Nico.I even wondered myself
Khloe's POV:The moon had risen.Its deep red color filled the sky not too long ago and I could already see a difference in Nico.I watched nervously from the couch, holding a pillow against my body as Nico quickly paced around the room with his gaze glued to the floor.Nico had told me to stay there and to stay quiet, so that's exactly what I was doing.The first effects of the blood moon were already beginning to show themselves.His breathing was rigid and heavy and although I couldn't get a good look at his face, I was pretty sure that his pupils had turned to slits.I was too afraid to make any kind of noise. I knew that their mindsets changed as they
Khloe's POV:I just stared as I tried to plan something that would work. Something that would just put an end to this.I knew that I had to do something, and I knew that I was going to get hurt.If I do something soon, then hopefully there will be a small chance that I'll make it out of this alive.And even if I don't...I shook my head. I couldn't start doubting.Getting killed was part of a pet's life. It was unavoidable, so I've known that this was going to happen for many years.At least if I were to die tonight, it would be in the hands of my own Master.I sucked in a shaky breath, every part of my body tel
Nico's POV:Everything was chaotic within my own body. A sensation that no vampire, no matter how old they were, could get used to.Something about the Blood Moon did this to us, enhanced our senses enough that it almost made us go insane.Our bodies would run on our deep-rooted instincts, making even the almost silent humming of a lightbulb sound like a blaring siren.Not to mention the immense pain that ran through our entire bodies for no reason other than to make us give in and let it take over.Once it finally did we had barely any control over what happened until it began to get the blood that it craved.These instincts were supposed to keep us alive yet all they did was make us suf
Nico's POV:I quickly stood atop the window sill, pressing my fingertips against the glass window.My eyes glanced around outside, looking out for any signs of immediate danger.The vampires that didn't have possession of slaves or pets would have to resort to looking outside the castle to find something to satisfy their hunger.Unfortunately, it wasn't easy, every human in the city hid themselves. Even the animals stayed hidden, which normally meant that either the Vampires out here would break into their houses, or feed on each other.The latter was more common due to it reasonably just being easier and more efficient.A vampire dying from blood loss was practically impossible, our advanced healing a
Nico's POV:Hours had passed and Khloe's condition had been steadily improving.Thankfully.My worry for her had almost completely diminished, and I think her own worry for herself was already gone.Surprisingly, she hadn't asked any of the questions that I knew she had about this night.Even though it was late and I could tell that she was tired, I knew she had them as she always did.Although, I guess she was pretty occupied at this moment.I turned my head towards her, watching as she curiously observed one of my wings.She had taken a huge interest in them ever since she woke up.
