Marcus rolled on his side, hoping to grab Laura in bed, only for him to hit the floor with a thud. He gasped in shock, as he rose up from the floor in shock. What was that?Marcus let his eyes skim through the length and breadth of the bed, but he didn’t see any figure that remotely looked like Laura, and that sort of made him upset.Where could she had gone?His hands slowly slid to the back of his head, and he massaged the growing migraine. He wanted to hold Laura tight, and kiss her lips sporadically, but that wasn’t happening.Marcus groaned slightly as he made his way to his clothes, wearing them quickly. He had to find her, and give her that kiss. He walked out of the house, struck by how quiet the whole house was. “Laura,” he called, but received no response.Was she even at home? Of course, she was. Where else would she go this evening. He knew fully well that Laura wasn’t an outgoing person. She definitely liked to do things on her own, and didn’t like to go out much. It was
Laura stopped midway, her worry getting ahead of her. There was no way she was going to sleeping in that room. She would have to make sure that it never happens. It was something that she had to do, and she would do it. Ok, maybe she was being overdramatic, but Marcus needed to see that he was hurting her feelings.She went back into the room, and noted that he was back out. That was just right. He had come out because she had gone. The man. She barely looked at him as she walked over to her side of the bed, grabbed her pillow and made her way out of the room.She made sure that this time, that the door pulled from the hinges. Well, it didn’t do that though. But, she knew he flinched, and that was enough for her.“What does he think he is to keep doing this all the time?” She grumbled as she made her way down. “If he is already tired of me, why can’t he just say it. Instead, he keeps giving me some stupid cold attitude like he is a kid,” she grumbled.She took the stairs, two steps a
Jackson walked slowly out of the bathroom, only to stand at the doorway. It was evident he wanted to give her some privacy, yet not wanting her to be on her own, so he could be able to assist when she needed him.Laura was grateful for that. She waited for a while for her hormones to stabilize, and wondered slightly could be cause of it.Was she pregnant?She swallowed hard in shock. If she was pregnant, then she was going to be a mother. How could this happen right when she and Marcus were going through a rough patch?She barely had an answer to that question, but one thing was certain, she was not going to tell Marcus till she was sure that they were ready to be parents.Laura pulled herself up, and walked over to the washing basin once more, cleaning herself up. She would have to talk to Marcus, and hope for the best. Someone had to be the matured one in their relationship, and she decided to be just that.Lost in thoughts, Laura pulled away from the basin, and walked headlong onto
Marcus stood at the door of his room watching Laura sleep. He bit his lips slightly as he watched her. There was an emptiness in his chest as he looked at her. He growled as he slid his fingers through his hair. He felt ashamed of his actions, and he wanted to correct them, but he hardly knew how to do that.Fine, he had been upset, but to hit Laura the way he had not once or twice had been borderline wrong. He slammed his hand on the wall in frustration. But, was it actually his fault? He couldn’t imagine anyone touching his mate, even if it were his brothers. It felt wrong on so many levels, and he hated it.“I…”Marcus turned around and his eyes met Laura’s. She was trying to sit up, and with the way her eyes went round when she noted that it was him, he knew she was sore afraid of him. This was not the type of partner he had imagined he was going to be to her. He had brought home an unwanted pregnancy, though he strongly believed that the baby was not his, but nevertheless, that
"Damn” Marcus Vega, the eldest of the Vega brothers cursed under his breath as he stood with a deep frown cresting his rather handsome face as he stared at the damage done to the young calf that lay mutilated on the ground. It went missing from the farm the previous night and he had set out during the early hours of that morning only to find it in that horrible state. His anger was evident as he bend over the dead animal at his feet. Its limp was ripped apart and fed on. He could see marks on its flesh as he continued to inspect the damage that has been caused to its young body. Marcus knew it was no mere incident as tales of Vampires returning to town was resurfacing again pretty quickly. What seems to bother him more was the fact that, they could dare make his livestock a target for their blood tasty fangs. Marcus needed to warn his brothers. They needs to know, it's no longer safe out there or anywhere for that matter as long as those blood suckers were out there. It was best
“She is your daughter?” Jackson had expressed in shock while Marcus only arched a brow.“Come on, Eddy. Last time we checked, you only have two sons. Where did this one come from?”“Look, her birth is a long story. Right now, what’s more important is finding her and finding her fast”Edwin sounded desperate and Marcus could see it in his demeanor."How old?" Marcus had asked with a sigh."Twenty. Her name is Laura. She is a pre school teacher. Here is a photo of her" He gave Jackson a little photo which he stared at briefly before passing it to his brother Marcus who held it a little longer. A slight frown spreading across his face pretty quickly as he continued to stare at the steel blue eyes, blonde lady with short curly bangs smiling so brightly in his hand.She looked younger than twenty and very beautiful too but Marcus didn't comment on it out loud. But at the back of his mind, he knew right there and then, that, there was something peculiar about just looking at her that exci
Marcus came out of the house a moment later with his bag pack in one hand and dressed in his working boots and coat.Jackson and Lucien were already waiting by Jack pick up truck in the front lawn, dressed in similar warm outfits and waiting for their brother's signal so they could all head out. Marcus gave them a single nod as he walked by them and settled into the passenger seat of Edwin's van. He quickly strapped himself with the seatbelt before looking up to face him. "Let go Eddy"Edwin tipped his hat at him in acknowledgement before turning on the ignition of the car and horned at Jack a few times before they went on their way.Marcus relaxed against the head rest before allowing his eyes clenched shut for a moment and took in a deep breath to calm his racing heart.He couldn't understand any of it but his mind hasn't stop reeling over the thought of Laura ever since he set his eyes on her picture. There was something about Laura Shane that he just can't seem to shake off even
Laura shivered, her teeth chattering uncontrollably by the corner and causing her to wrap a shaky arms a little tightly around her petite figure. The temperature was getting worst by each passing second even though the sun had risen to a certain level by now yet the weather was just as freezing as the previous night and the day before.Laura was completely worn out as well as being famish. She couldn't find a suitable spot to rest her head throughout the night and had to stay awake and shivering through the cold.How long before someone finds her, She thought to herself with a frustrated groan. She wondered if anyone has realized she has even gone missing for the past forty eight hours already.Shutting her eyes briefly, she slide down to the floor, her arms going to wrap around both her knees and as she continued to take deep breath. “Think, Laura. Think of something”She tried to crack her brain yet again and found it totally blank like the few first times she had tried to think u
