Chapter 20: Chapter 20

She gasped with fear, what had she landed herself in to, the vampires were deadlier than her own pack, she had heard stories about them, and all stories had ended in bloodshed and killings and sucking of blood.

"So mother, back off from m.."

"She is awake, the werewolf is awake"

Selene said, looking at the werewolf who had slightly sat up, as she back off to the headboard.

"What?"

Blade asked, looking at his mother, his eyes were filled with fear, fear of what his mate might think of him.

"Turn Blade, you wanted to meet her, and now I see fear in your eyes"

Selene said.

Quickly, Blade turned to face his mate, but immediately his eyes connected with hers, he saw her backed off farther to the headboard, and he saw the look of fear in his eyes.

His heart broke into pieces at the sight he saw in front of him, his mate was scared of him. His mate do not want him anywhere close to him, there was the worst torture he had ever received from anyone, and he felt scared of his mate maybe rejecting him.

He walked closer towards her, there was no way his mate would reject him, he would never give her the chance to do so.

A gasp from her made him stop in his tracks, the gasp she made wasn't just an ordinary gasp, it was a gasp filled with fear, fear of him. She was scared of him coming closer to her, he made a growl, but his growl made a scream to escape from her mouth, and quickly, his protective mood switched on, quickly running to know what was wrong with her. Instead, he saw her scamper away from the bed and fall heavily on her ass, another growl of frustration and anger ripped off from his lips.

He was not angry at her, he was angry at whosoever might have hurt her mentally, emotionally, and physically.

"Blade stop walking towards her, she is scared of you, can't you see that. Just give her space, I will take care of her."

Selene said, looking at the young wolf, the injuries on her body had slightly healed which was quite surprising because werewolves have almost the same healing powers as they have, so why wasn't she healed already, but her character towards the vampire king, signified she was scared of him, maybe because of the aura he possessed or maybe, she has suffered a fatal fate from someone, maybe from where she had come from.

"Do not tell me that mother, she is my m...."

"Blade Hemlock, she is not ready to receive you yet, she doesn't want you now."

Selene said, turning front to look at the wolf who stood ten feet away from them, her legs still dirty, with the previous night's mud. There was no doubt she looked terrified with their presence.

Blade stared at his mate once more, Selene had stated the real truth, his mate was terrified of him.

He turned around sadly, staring at his mother for a while, he left the room.

Without a doubt, his mate has passed through some physical abuse from someone.

She stood rooted on the ground, shocked to the core, the man was not just a vampire, but also he was the vampire king. Who doesn't know the vampire king, a blood-thirsty king who was capable of breaking the alpha's arms? The king is called the god of war and blood and vengeance.

This was the most terrible thing she had encountered herself doing.

"Hello dear"

She heard a voice spoke, quickly she turned around, staring at whom she had heard the man pronounce "mother", quickly she stepped back, all were vampires and she had felt these powerful aura emitting out from her, just like the man who had left the room.

She ran towards the wardrobe, hiding her tiny body behind the dressing table.

Selene stared at the wolf, she made a growl, but quickly retraced her growl, knowing the wolf was scared of her and she would instead make her scamper away more with her growls.

She needed to be gentle with her, the girl was scared of them, they were powerful vampires, which emit powerful auras around anyone who was within distance from them.

"Hello, you do not have to be scared of me, I do not bite"

Selene said, now rolling her eyes at the words she said, her son had learned some characters from her no doubt.

"What I mean is, I am not dangerous, I am here to help you, and never hurt you, please be yourself and step out"

Selene said again. Not believing she had just pleaded with the she-wolf, but she was doing these, all because of her son.

Yet she never received any response from the she-wolf, but she was not ready to quit either. She does make sure she comes out willingly from her hiding place without forcing her to, which would have been quicker, but NO! She wouldn't dare to do that, unless, her son, would..... Shaking off the thoughts of what Blade might do to her, she resorted to her sweet words

"My men saved your life from the werewolves........"

A quick scream escaped Bella's lips as she ran towards the vampiress, hiding at her back, cutting the woman's words short.

Selene looked shocked at the sudden actions she-wolf had taken.

Slowly she turned to look at the she-wolf, looking down at her injured leg, she wondered where she got the energy to run on her feet without tripping on the floor.

But she knew it wasn't just an ordinary run, she had run because she had heard her mention the "werewolves" her kind.

"What is the problem dear, what are you scared of, am harmless"

Selene said, assuring the werewolf to be safe with her.

"The werewolves, the werewolves are here, they do come attacking me and ripping me apart in seconds"

Bella quickly said, slowing down her pace of speaking at her words, as hot tears streamed out from her eyes.

The previous night, she had dreamt about going back to the pack, and they were planning of ripping her apart before she had woken up from the deadly dream

"Why would they do that, why would your kind kill you"

Selene asked, the wolf was passing through some torment which she could not lay her finger on what it was.

"Be.......cau....se be......cau....se.....I....I am"

Bella said, as streams of tears flowed down her eyes, waving her head quickly, she wouldn't dare disclose her real identity to the vampires, never would she.

Being identified as an omega comes with an unknown curse, which she would try to avoid with a little stay in the vampire's land. Maybe they wouldn't get to kill her before she escapes.

"You are what"

Selene asked, wanting to hear the last statement.

"Am nothing"

Bella said, surprisingly she was not scared of the woman. Instead, she felt a sense of comfortability with her.

"You had run away from your pack and they come running after you, why?"

Selene asked, she was beginning to put the pieces together, but some pieces were missing, and those were the important ones.

Bella looked at the woman, now staring back at the door, hoping there is a way she escapes this land without getting noticed. But she knew that was impossible, the vampire was not an ordinary being, they could perceive any single escape caused by a weaker person like her.

"Is not happening, the moment you leave these room, just know it that someone would turn mad with rage and possibly kill anyone who tries stopping him from finding you and till he founds you, will he stop killing. So do you want that to happen"

Selene said, meaning every word she said, she had caught her staring at the door, wanting to escape but that was not happening unless the vampire king wants that to happen which was impossible.

She saw she-wolf waving her head heavily, obviously struck with fear with the mindset that someone would kill people because of her.

"Good, we wouldn't want that to happen. I do call the medic in a little while, then inform the maids to bring you food, plus you need to take a shower, but considering your wounds are not totally healed which is quite surprising, I will have to advise you just clean up your body to avoid contacting a bad odor"

Selene said about to leave the room, but the she-wolf's voice made her stop moving.

"Please, can you be the one to bring my food? And can you be here when I get a medication"

Bella whispered, looking down at her fingers, surprisingly, this strange woman had treated her better than anyone she had encountered in her life. Better than her pack.

"Is a yes and no"

Selene said, throwing her a smile, quite happy she-wolf was accepting her slowly, that was a great start. At least, these would prove to her son that she was not a bad bitch as he had thought she was.

Quickly, she left the room, giving the wolf a little time for herself.

Bella looked at the closed door, she sighed, staring down at the big gash on her leg, she moaned with pain, wondering when she would totally heal, and when she is healed, she would escape.

"Escape, forgotten the words of the vampire, if you escape. Our mate comes running looking out for you"

The voice said, making her shudder with fear, her mate, Lucas would come searching for her.
