Chapter 32: Chapter 32

We stared at each other, for a while, lost in our different thoughts. I raised my hand to touch her face and push her hair to the side. I could feel the vibration and my eyes were changing again. She batted her lashes seductively and I smiled. She was made to stand up. I held her by the waist and turned her over. She froze and I smirked. "Are you afraid now?". She pushed her face to the side and tried to push me away. I pressed my body again hers and she whined. I smiled. "Who is the weakling now? huh?". I lowered my face to her neck and sniffed her. Her scent was intoxicating and I was already losing it. I kissed her neck slowly and moved down a bit. She moaned and I smiled. I kept trailing kisses on her neck to her face. I finally settled my lips on hers. She tightened her lips and refused to grant me access. My hand finds its way to her bosom and she gasped, giving me full access to her lips. I kissed her deeply and pulled down her towel a bit. The knock on the door jolted me back to my senses.

I pulled away from her quickly. "Shit!!" I cursed. She stood up from the bed and ran off to the bathroom, I guess. The knock persisted and I hissed. "Who the heck is that!!" I yelled.

"Watch your words, young man"

I rolled my eyes. "Mom?"

"Will you open the door down or I blow it off"

I groaned. "You don't have to blow it off". I stood up and went to open the door. She walked in and began to sniff the air. She walked closer to me and sniffed me. I groaned. "What's that for?"

She chuckled. "You smell like Elmira. Did you both had a..."

"No, I don't even think it"

She chuckled. "But you smell so much like her"

I hissed and went to sit down. "Where is she?"

I rolled my eyes. "In the bathroom, I guess"

She sat on the couch. "Elmira?!"

"Yes, mother". Elmira walked out, avoiding my gaze. I rolled my eyes. She sat down beside mom. It was then I had the time to check her out. She was dressed in black nightwear. I groaned. Why did she wear black?.

"Damien?!!" Mom called, jolting me back to reality. I rolled my eyes.

"What?"

"I've been calling your name for over five minutes. What are you thinking of?"

I hissed. "Nothing"

"That's a..."

"What's your reason for calling me again?"

She hissed. "Rude, boy". I rolled my eyes

"Just tell me already. She sighed. "I noticed you both have been avoiding yourself"

I rolled my eyes. "No, we ain't"

"I saw the way you both avoid your gaze. You can't tell me everything is ok". I groaned. "It's your wedding night for crying out loud. You should be making babies and not staring at each other like zombies". I groaned and went to lay on the bed.  "We ain't done talking"

I rolled my eyes. "Well, I'm done"

I covered myself with the duvet cover and closed my eyes "And what do you think you doing" mom yelled

"As you can see, mom. I'm off to sleep"

"Damien?!!". I ignored her and pretended to be asleep. I guess she got tired and finally left. But not after making sure, Elmira laid beside me. I groaned but said nothing.

I opened my eyes slowly, adjusting to the ray of light. I sat up. Elmira wasn't by my side. All through the night, I had sat down staring at Elmira sleeping peacefully. I found it difficult to stay away from her and had stolen kisses from her too. I chuckled. If she finds out, she will rip off my head. I stood up and made for the bathroom. I didn't notice that the shower was running. I just walked in. "Hey!!" Elmira yelled. I turned in her direction and she dragged the towel to cover herself quickly. I find myself chuckling but when she glared at me, I stopped. "Don't you knock!!"

I rolled my eyes. "This is my room, this is my bathroom. I can enter anywhere I like anytime"

She hissed and walked past me, brushing her arms with mine. "Chill girl". She glared at me and I chuckled. After she left, I took my bath and got dressed in black pants and a blue t-shirt. I walked out of the closet to see Maya chatting with Elmira.

"Hey, brother-in-law" Maya cooed. I rolled my eyes. "You look sparkling hot"

I chuckled. "Are you flirting with your sister's husband?"

She chuckled. "Elmira wouldn't mind"

I sat down on the couch. "Come, darling. I've missed you"

Maya chuckled. "You saw me yesterday, right?"

I nodded. "Yes, but it feels like forever". She stood up and walked towards me. "Or don't you miss me?"

She chuckled. "Of course, I do"

"Give me a hug then". Maya hugged me and I stared at Elmira from the side. She pretended not to be bothered but I could tell she's jealous. "Maya, do you think someone might be jealous?"

Maya furrowed her brows. "Who?"

I chuckled. "Elmira"

"I'm not jealous, ok" Elmira yelled

I chuckled. "You don't sound like one". She hissed and stood up. "Are you leaving, darling?". She ignored me and stomped out of the room. Maya chuckled. "Can you smell jealousy?"

She nodded. "Of course I do. It's just a matter of time before she explodes". I laughed. "So, I've you tell her?"

"I don't love her, ok?"

She chuckled. "That wasn't my question". I hissed. "But I think I know the answer"

I rolled my eyes. "Answer to what?"

She chuckled. "Never mind"

"Maya"

She stood up. "Don't you think we should play scrabble?"

"Are you ignoring me?"

"I'll go get it". She left and I groaned.

It's evening already and the full moon should be out by night. I had a plan of running away this night. I had to block Elmira from reading my thought. I can't risk her knowing.  I was seated in my studio painting. I'll be leaving when I'm done. I'm only here to make them believe I don't have the intention of running away anymore. Elmira walked in with a tray. "Your food is here"

I rolled my eyes and stared at her suspiciously. I never asked for food. If I need to feed, I'll have gone to the wood myself. "I did not ask for this"

She chuckled. "I just felt you might need it"

I hissed. "The last time I checked, we ain't friends"

"Come on, we can be friends now, right?"

I hissed. "It's a nice idea but no thanks. I don't want to be your friend and I don't need the food either"

She rolled her eyes and opened the plate. "It's your favorite". I hissed. "Or you want to drink from me?"

"I don't want to drink from you, now get out" I yelled.

She walked closer to me and I groaned. "You don't yell at me, ok?. I'm your wife"

I hissed but said nothing. Her scent was already filling my nostril, intoxicating me. I've warned her severally, not to come too close to me. Thank goodness, I have learned to control my thirst for her blood. But I still lose control sometimes though. "Move away, Elmira"

"No, I won't"

I brushed my hair backward. "Elmira!!"

She rolled her eyes. "What?"

I hissed. Telling her to go rudely will only keep her close. I decided to sound a little bit calm and kind. "Elmira, just go out, ok?. As you can see, I'm very busy"

She chuckled. "Hmmm, you sound calm. So I will leave but not after you take this"

"I don't want to take that. I don't even trust you. How sure am I that it isn't poisoned?"

She hissed. "If you die, it'll affect me. Why will I want to kill you?"

I chuckled. She's right. "Ok, I'll take it. You should leave"

"Nope, I won't leave until you take it. Do you want the pack members to think I'm not been a good wife?"

I rolled my eyes. Good wife my foot. I smiled at her. "Ok, I will take it, now". She brought it forward and I had to drink the blood. "Are you happy, now?"

She chuckled. "You're the best". She pecked my lips and ran out before I could say a word. I rolled my eyes. Why do I suspect foul play?
