KATELYN'S POV
I loved my brothers with everything in me. At the end of the day no matter how much we hated each other the family was the most important thing to us.
We grew up together and underwent every bad thing that many people would never have survived but we managed.
I knew them as much as they knew me but sometimes I felt like I didn't know myself. I did not have something that I loved to do because all my life I lived trying to please them.
It is not that I hated it or anything but sometimes I felt like they judged everything that I ever did especially Edmund.
I never had friends or anyone it was just them.
At first, I thought that it was okay. That I did not need to have people all around me so that I could feel better about myself. It was not that important.
My life was lonely. I needed someone. Not a lover I just needed someone who would not judge me and would be my ride or die.
Then again every time I got close to someone I remembered who I was and wondered if they knew who I truly was and if they could stick around.
I was a monster no one wanted to be friends with a monster. I did not want to be with someone who was scared that someday I would snap and kill them.
I was not like that at least to the people that I loved.
I wanted to have my own life whereby it was not controlled by anyone. I did not want to answer any of my brothers or stop doing the things that I loved because they didn't like them.
They would never do that if the roles were reversed.
As I made my way to the hospital I cringed every time someone passed by me and they were hurt. It was the one thing that I hated about being human.
I always wanted to have emotions like they had but did not want to be sick and die. That is one thing that discouraged me and it was not like I could turn from being a vampire to being a human being.
I looked around the hospital to see where Erin was but she was nowhere in sight. My best guess was that maybe she was held up somewhere.
I took the sit that I saw next to me as I waited for her. Thousands of people passed by me and every second made me feel like I was goo g to be sick.
"Look who we have here ", said someone, and I turned to see who it was.
"Mateo, what are you doing here ?", I asked him.
"What am I doing here you guys also own the hospital now ?", he asked me sarcastically.
From the look of the clothes that he was wearing, he looked like he was a doctor. I would have never guessed it.
"Am sorry I have just never seen you here am just shocked that you work here ", I said as I glanced at his clothes.
"What, did you think that I don't have a job like you and your brothers?", he asked as he looked at his scrubs.
"Excuse me ?", I asked him as I stood up.
"Don't tell me you want to cause a scene where everyone is going to see you, I just mentioned the truth the most you guys do is chase me around like am some bait", he said.
"Well have you thought about the fact that you think you are baiting and you keep pulling stupid stunts to get our attention ?", I asked.
"Well darling maybe I just want to get your attention, that I won't deny but your brothers just love the chase ", he said smirking.
"You stupid pervert ", I said under my breath.
"Am just being honest with you love. I was shocked the day that I first saw you in town. I think I saw you here in the hospital", he said chuckling.
"You looked so mad at him and I started to wonder if he was your partner because then I would have a chance with you but it was just your stupid brother ", he said as he moved closer to me.
"But then when we reached your place and you came bursting in I wondered why I had fallen for you. There' are so many people who want me but somehow I can't get you off my mind.", he said as he stared at my lips.
"To make matters worse I know I shouldn't see you like that or have the thoughts I have of you but every time I see you I want you more.", he said as he moved even closer.
"Am starting to think that it's the fact that I know deep down it's a bad idea but I still crave you. That even though I know your brother will kill me if I even lay a finger on you you still pull me in ", he whispered in my ears.
Never in my life did anyone ever say that to me. That he disliked me but to some extent, he wanted me to the point where he wouldn't differentiate between the hate and the lust he felt towards me.
I could feel the goosebumps on my neck as I struggled to make sure my breathing was even so that he didn't know the effect that he had on me.
His face inched closer to mine and he sniffed my neck taking in a long deep breath and he muttered something under his breath that I didn't catch.
I leaned in making his face touch my neck but the calling of my name brought me back to reality I stepped back.
"Kate ", said someone, and I turned to see Erin waving at me.
"I've got to go, " I said as I took my bag off the chair and went to where Erin was standing.
"Who was that ?", she asked me as we left.
"Do you know him ?", Erin asked me my best guess was that she was referring to Mateo.
"Yes, he is my brother's friend ", I said smiling nervously at him.
