"Yes of course, I want to stand by your side as your mate and fight the enemies together with you and you know....." she trailed off as she began to romance his body.
"I can't afford to loose you, you are my man and no one else's." she added.
She wrapped her legs around his waist drawing him closer to her, then she sat up on the desk to kiss him, but before her lips could reach his, he rise his hand and block it, making her kiss the dorsal surface of his hand.
"Haven't you gotten a mate yet?" he asked as his sexy eyes stared daggers into hers.
sigh...
"C'mon horace, what do I need a mate for? I have you already and I want to grow old together with you, I've planned our future already."
"Future?" he chuckles
"We have no future together aracely."
"How, horace? I'm your official date. ain't I enough for you?" she said before gasping loudly as she felt him push himself into her.
"Enough? I don't get enough." he breath out the words before grabbing her by the neck and thrust hard into her, evading her questions.
Her moans and gasps echoed in the study room as light fades.

Ariel and Haven panted heavily as the bent to catch their breath.
She held her stomach as she felt something rumbling up her chest, as she began to vomit. she held her throat on feeling the burn of the acid from her stomach.
"I---I-- can't con-- continue, m-- my bo-- body is getting weaker."
"Yaah!!" Joe yelled out as he slammed the horse's butt and it neighs before it continue running dragging the two along with their hand tied on it.
Ariel's eyeballs rolled up as she couldn't keep up with the pace anymore, then she collapsed and her body began to roll on the ground as the horse speed up it's pace.
"ARIEL!!" Haven called out on seeing her rolling down on the ground.
Ariel couldn't hear his voice as she continues to roll down the hills, she couldn't resist the darkness surrounding her, then she allowed it swallow her up.
"Stop! stop the horse!!" he yelled at the hunter but it seems he wasn't ready to stop at all.
Haven didn't think twice before awakening his vampire form. his eyes fluctuate into bloody red, his nail enlongated along with his fangs, be quickly cut off his rope before leaping towards ariel, he then cut hers before gathering her into his arms.
The hunter quickly stopped the horse on seeing what has happen, he turned around and noticed that the ropes has already been cutten off.
"How dare you cut this rope, you vampire boy! have you forgotten you're under my punishment?" yelled killer Joe.
Haven didn't reply as he kept on calling ariel,
"Ariel? wake up ariel, Ariel!!" his red eyes turning darker.
They other hunters gathered around with slaves as the watch them.
"She's not waking up, please do something." he tremble as he spoke to killer Joe.
"Then we let the hungry beast feed on her in the push if she's dead." he scoffed.
"She's not dead, she just passed out, a human body can not take more than this torture." said a man dressed in a knight uniform.
They all turned around to see who it was.
"Greetings, general Flavio!" the hunters bowed showing their respect to the man named general Flavio including killer Joe.
"You all are welcome to DEMISE." he reciprocated their greeting.
"You've done a nice job, killer Joe, we'll be taking them from here."
"Leon?" he called out
"Yes, general!" the guy named Leon answered.
"Count the number of slaves here and settle killer Joe."
"Thank you, general!" Joe thanked excitedly.
"Okay I will see you later in town." he said before leading his soldiers and the remaining slaves to the central city of demise.
'Where am I? why is it so dark in here? is anyone here?'
Ariel's voice echoed in her head as she sat in a lonely dark room, terrified.
She hhsat on a cold floor, her back resting on the wall, as she folded her legs up to her chest.
She couldn't believe where she was as darkness surrounded her, she could only hear the sound of her heartbeat.
'Who's there? What do you want?'
She quickly asked on seeing a shadow of a huge thing, she didn't see it clear, but whatever it is, is surely coming towards her.
Her voice echoed again in the dark.
Ariel softly groan before opening her eyes, she blinked multiple times, clearing her eyes to see exactly where she was. she tried to stand but the pain was unbearable, her back aches, her waist and legs hurt so much. the material which she lay beneath was so soft and smooth that she began to wonder where she was.
She look up at the ceiling on seeing the little light bulbs designed with woods. she looked at the walls and noticed that it was designed with beautiful painting, the wide room didn't look modern but it is quite expensive. a big tree was located near the window. just like the guest room given to her in her uncle's house, the bed was near the window.
'Where is this place? how did I get in here?' she asked in her mind. they beauty of the room was heart path-taking that she couldn't remember the dream she had, or was is not a dream?
Her heart began to race in her ribcage as she heard footsteps approaching the room.
She clutching tightly on the quilt while her eyes stared intensively at the door.
'Oh no, this is not right, I don't want to go back there' she began to tremble as the footsteps approaches closer.
'Click'
The door opened reviewing a middle age woman dressed in what seems to be a uniform. she walked in before closing the door behind her. she walk straight into the room and place a basket on the table.
