She slowly opens her eyes - Oh my, am I dead ? . She looks around and finds herself in a shabby looking bedroom with a bed that squeaks with the slightest movement.
No ! - This can't be paradise. Was my life so miserable that even the after life couldn't take pity on me .
She sees a young man walk into the room. He has light brown curly hair and the brightest eyes.
" Another kidnap ? " , she says to herself. Father probably sent him. She slowly grabs the fruit knife on the table.
He walks in with a bright smile upon seeing her regain consciousness. He sits down beside her on the bed but she points the knife at his throat.
" Hey hey hey hey hey hey. . . Easy ok . Put the knife down and let's talk . For someone who I just saved her life, I expected a " Thank you " not a sudden death stare and a blade to my throat .
" What do you want from me . . . " , she asks not willing to give up.
He grabs the knife before she could notice. She immediately uses a spell to push him against the wall, but he gets up immediately.
" Looks like you've also got a few tricks up your sleeve ", he says then chuckles .
She remembers she was at a club and a vampire was about to feed on her.
Gasp ! Oh my
" I'm so sorry for what I did to you ", she says realizing he was the one that saved her .
" Phew . . . Thank goodness you're back to your senses. So I'm Kristan Dominion by the way. What's your name " .
" Umm . . . " , she says wondering if she should say the truth. " Umm . . . The name is Alicia ", she uses the same alias.
" Well, lovely name by the way. Hey . . . Why don't we talk over dinner ", he says and takes her to the little dining room.
He serves her dinner and takes a sit opposite her.
" I don't know how long your stay here will be but we should get to know each other right ?"
" Sure " .
" Ok . . . Umm I'm a vampire, a good one though ", he chuckles
" No family ? ", she asks.
" Umm . . Not really. My parents died. My brother is missing. So I knida eat alone. It's great to have company", he fawns a smile.
" Ohw . . I'm so sorry "
" I'm good , that's kinda like a long time ago. What about you"
" I got seperated from mine at a young age, so I don't really know . . ."
" How about we talk about something else. Like . . . Why you looked so exhausted like someone was chasing you, when you entered the club ", she looks at him speechless.
" I'm kind of observant ", he adds in his defense.
" Umm . . . I was running from an arranged marriage . . . ", she wasn't willing to tell him the whole truth.
" Well, that sucks ", they both laugh.
They finish their dinner and head to the bedroom to rest. She watches him lay some beddings on the floor and lays in them.
She tries to argue with him but it's not yielding much fruit, so she gives up and lays on the bed.
She's overwhelmed by guilt from having lied to him earlier.
" Umm . . . Kristan, you awake ? " , she says
" Yeah "
" Umm . . . The name is actually Elisa, I didn't mean to lie to you . . . "
" It's cool, it's fine. I didn't expect to trust me either. Anything else you'll like to share ? "
" No " , she refuses to tell him that her groom was the Alpha.
The Next Morning
She wakes up early and he does same. He showers and changes into something fresh. Elsianfinds herself admiring him. But she quickly brushes of the thought.
" I'll be right back, let me pick you something to change into", he opens the door to leave but suddenly passes out.
Elisa hears the thud and goes over to see what's wrong. Her eyes widen in shock, she blacks out.
