Chapter 22: Chapter 22

"So?" he started, taking a few steps forward as I backed away a little before bumping against the door.

"How do you know Terry?" He asked again while his blue eyes are sending me a million glares by now.

"I met him at aa .." I stammered and mentally slapped myself for saying it out loud.

"Don't fucking stammer right now, Rina! Tell me clearly" his voice echoed through the room and I froze when he locked me on both sides by placing his hands on the door. "Speak out before I rip your heart out, right now!" he threatened, grabbing my cheeks and squeezing them up to face me.

"So-sorry-"

"Talk!" he spat, his eyes not even moving from my eyes as I struggled to come up a explanation.

"We met on the ceremony day. he promised to help me escape so I." I trailed off not knowing what his reaction will be. " we talked about the escape plans but I never tried to escape." I said leaving out how he suggested to use Alex as my escape out.

"You don't know who he really is, don't you?" he asked, his voice slightly turning soft as I looked at him in confusion before shaking my head. " leave. I don't want to look at you right now." He said harshly and turned away. I stared at him in disbelief.

"Alex, I'm really sorry but I swear I didn't do-" I started to move closer to grab his arm when he jerked his hand away before coming close to me.

"Go to your room, Rina!" he spat as his eyes still filled with anger causing me shiver.

"Okay." I mumbled and ran out of the room scared for my dear life.

"Tell me who Terry actually is, David?" I asked again.but he let out another groan before slumping on my bed.

"I am sorry. But Alex told me not to say anything about Terry." He repeated the same thing again .I rolled my eyes at his words.

After I came to my room, David came to me to see that I am fine. He then stayed with me. I thought I can get to know about Terry from David but no, David is so tightlipped.

"Again? Alex is like this. Alex doesn't like it he will do this, do that. What are you then? don't you ever do anything with your own free will? Do you always been like this, worship him for a living and-" I was stopped by David as he roughly closed my mouth with his hand. His eyes looks agitated and he still holds a tight grip on my wrist.

"Be Careful with your words, katy.i think you're getting over the line now," he spoke in a harsh tone. I think something flickered in his eyes but the next minute it's gone. " Let's not badmouth Alex, ok. I don't like it nor does the others. They won't be calm like me. So, don't cross your limit. shall we?" He said sweetly. I swat my hand away from his hold before crawling on the bed. I was so wrong that I thought I could trust this guy. He's just doing his duty as Alex's loyal guy. Moreover he's his brother.Why should I be disappointed with him?

"I'm sorry." I mumbled and I watched him flinch a little before coming closer to me. But I backed away.

"I'm sorry for getting upset with you but you should learn to-" David started

"Oh, there she is, my princess!" Franklin said as he cut off David. He then plopped himself to the other side of the bed. I am in between David and Franklin.

"Hey, you looked beautiful today." He said with a nervous smile. Before I could say anything, someone beat me to it.

"I heard you got into trouble again. " Joey's husky voice came from behind as I gasped before turning to look at him who is right behind me.

"How-how did you get into-"

"We're vampires. Get used to it," I heard Franklin said while he sat up.

"Katy, how are you feeling now?are you ok? " Joey asked while pushing Franklin away. Jeez!

"Wai-wait! Everyone get out! I want to be alone." I said angrily but David came closer little too much to my liking, causing me to shudder.

"But I want to be with you." He acted clingy causing me to give him a disgusting look.

"She's getting so hard to resist." Joey mumbled, his breath hitting against my neck from the back and I squealed when I felt something hot and wet slide against my skin. Yuck! He just licked me. I need to bath again.

"So sweet..." Franklin whispers. Scared of their weird behavior, I stood up when David grabbed my wrist pulling me towards him. Both Joey and Franklin looked at him in displeasure.

"It's not fair. You should share" Joey winks at me.

"You should fuck yourselves off-" before David could finish, the door flew open again and this time, it's Alex, he looks agitated a bit after seeing his brothers in my room.

"Get out." He mumbled shortly, frowning at them before looking at me.

" We all heard about Terry," David started as I remain silent. "If one of us doesn't claim her as ours, the Mendes family will eventually take her with then. Terry is keen on her. " He said as his gaze fell in What the hell was these guys on about anyways?

"I'll take care of it, leave." Alex stated impatiently. I gulped silently when I noticed the guys leaving the room instantly. I am done for.

"Alex, I-"

"Don't even bother." He stopped me abruptly while removing his black tshirt over his head. I frowned at him.

"I am telling the truth. It's not like I knew you hated him or had some grudge against him. Heck, I didn't even know you know him and have some past.." I said softly as he hummed while walking towards my bed causing a shiver down my spine. He then sat next to me and suddenly lifting my chin up with his index finger. "You try not to cry or scream while I feed on you now." My eyes widened in shock as I crawled back a little.

"What do you, oh -wait, are-are you going to." I stopped seeing him nod, however his face remained with no expression. "Bu-but I thought you won't force..." I said, blinking away the tears.

"I don't have a choice, Rina." He muttered impatiently as I looked down nervously fidgeting with my fingers. It's known that if Alex wants something, he will have his way, even if it means by force.

"Is this your punishment for hiding about Terry?" I asked softly, looking up with teary wide eyes but he flinched at the mention of Terry's name.

"It's not, Rina. Like I said, I have no choice, if no one from my family fed on you, another vampire family will be allowed to take you away and claim you as their soulmate." Alex explained. It took me a while but I managed to somehow grasp it within the next few seconds.

"I-I'm sorry but I'm willing to take that chance." I denied him, inhaling deeply. He furrowed his eyebrows together before inching closer to my face.

"But I'm not ready to take that chance, barbie doll" He said through gritted teeth and I peered into his eyes.

"Why-"

"Stop your rubbish talk, let's get it over with." He interrupted by roughly grabbing my wrist but I jerked away before standing up from the bed, my body trembling at his cold touch.

"Please, Alex. No. " I started begging and squealed when he grabbed my hands and pushed me down on the bed. I was about to get up but he was on top of me.

"Don't!" I cried while fighting to free myself from his grip but he was a lot stronger than me.

"Just shit up. Will you calm the fuck down?!" he suddenly snapped, settling on top of my thighs.

"I already told you that I have no fucking choice! Sooner or later, Terry is going to come for you and I need to claim you as mine before he do so. I am not going to go to hand over something that's rightfully mine because of your fucking attitude, Rina!" he raised his voice, making my blood boil. That's it.

"I don't care, Alex! Let him have me, who cares?he is also a vampire!" I shot back.

"I do! I fucking care!" he spat, leaning closer to my face while grabbing my neck. My heart froze at his words.

"Wha-what are you talking about, Alex," my voice was barely a whisper. Mostly he didn't mean what he just said. "Let me go..." I begged, closing my eyes and letting more tears roll down my cheeks. I don't want him to feed on me. Not anyone.

"Rina, stop crying." He whispered. I stiffened in my position when I felt something soft brush against my lips. my heart slightly skipped a beat before I quickly shook those thoughts away. "Stop. I don't want you to feed on me, let it be somebody else, I don't care. Maybe Dav-" before I could finish, Alex shot me one last glare before leaning into a rough kiss as I gasped for air. My whole body starts to melt at his touch.

"No, stop..." I whimpered when he interlocked our fingers before pressing them down on the bed, causing goosebumps to rise all over my body.

"Shut up." He mumbled in between the kiss, I turned my face.Sadly, it didn't stop Alex from getting what he wanted. As soon as I turned away, his lips started grazing my jawline, placing multiple soft kisses on them before moving down to my neck, leaving wet sloppy kisses in there.

"Don't do this..." I whimpered when he licked my soft spot, causing an uncontrollable moan to escape through my lips.

"Guess you were right, Barbie doll," he mumbled, placing another gently kiss on my neck. My heart dropped when I felt something sharp graze against my skin of my shoulder.

It starts to pain.
