Zacarias rose the first moment the sun had become weak enough for him to do so. He knew all his brothers and their mate were within the home, resting from the sun's brutal rays. The darkness within him began to stir as he roamed around the ranch. He avoided the human children as much as possible, knowing that he was too close to losing control. He did not want to risk him hurting or killing one the children, they were to precious to them.
He walked out, away from the ranch to go hunt some wild game. Animals were something he could kill without fearing losing himself. He knew that tonight, was his last night. He had made that decision the moment Manolito had found his mate. He had kept those thoughts hidden, as to not worry his brothers. He was the eldest and it was his job to ensure they were all safe. Now that he did, he wanted to rest. He felt the darkness beginning to take a toll on his soul. He had thoughts of killing and hurting his family, the woman in particular, something he was ashamed of himself doing.
He shifted into a panther before he stalked monkeys and other large animals. He could feel their blood pump threw his veins. He needed more, craved more. It wasn't enough, it never was enough. He slammed his fist viciously into the side of a tree, sending leaves falling to the ground.
"Poor Zacarias, still alone in the world?" Zacarias spun around only to see the eldest Malinov brother standing in front of him, his eyes black as his lost soul. The man chuckled darkly as he pushed off the tree. " Especially now that all your brothers have life mates. You're alone and more than likely, you will kill your lifemate before you even realize it. Come on Zacarias, you and I are the eldest, yes I saved my brothers, while you made yours weaker! Those woman have ruined your brothers! And one of them have led a dangerous woman to your family."
Zacarias stiffened at the thought of his brothers in danger. He may feel nothing for them, but his loyalty to them held him together. He snarled, baring his fangs at the man in front of him. He knew he was a vampire, he knew the Malinov brother did not have what it took to fight off the darkness, nor did they want to. But the darkness of his own soul clouded his judgement. A new woman, an enemy, was here to hurt his family and he wouldn't allow it.
"I will not allow anyone to harm my family, no one." Zacarias said in his rough voice. He was cold deep within, for he could no longer feel or see anything that told him that what he was doing was worth anything.
Malinov chuckled darkly before he cut his wrist and offered it to Zacarias.
"Here, take what I offer freely, so that you might protect your family" The gift was corrupted, tainted in the hopes of tearing down the rest of the De La Cruz family with the ultimate weapon, the Eldest and Head of the Family. Malinov made sure to seem as though he was but another comrade in arms.
Zacarias watched the blood drip down the man's arm, the ultimate temptation. But he would take it if it meant that he could protect his family for one last night. He bowed his head and took the blood, not realizing that it was tainting his system. This was the curse of the darkness. It made he dangerous, but it also made him view a vampire to be right in it's manipulative way. He felt the blood burn through him and corrupt him till all he thought about was getting home and killing the woman that dared to come to hunt his family.
He changed into mist and rushed home, knowing that since it was now night time, his family would be awake and in need of his protection. Once he reverted back, near the corrals, he knew something was wrong. Ginny's favorite horse was banged up, deep claw marks were down it's side and it limped. Something had happened to Ginny. He tried to leash need to protect, but it was soon gaining the better of him. He walked, in a very controlled manner, into the ranch house threw the back door. He could smell the strange woman in his home. He could smell Ginny's blood mixed with the woman's scent. He did not bother to contact his brother, they would only end up finding out his plans. No, he had to do this on his own.
He pushed open the kitchen door and turned to stare at the future dead woman. She was tall, still shorter than him by five or six inches, but that was enough to give him an advantage. Her long pitch black hair was held high in a pony tail so that it seemed to clip the back of her thighs. But it was her eyes that told him she was a killer. They were cold emeralds that told him of a dark past. As emotions slammed into him, his dark fury became unleashed. He launched himself at the woman, for the vampire blood had clouded his mind enough that he did not know he was attacking his lifemate.
Artemis looked at the man who had just entered and for a spilt second saw a dark rage with in him, that is before he launched an attack on her. Her wolf sprung forward, taking control of her movements and helping her. She felt her back slam into the edge of the other counter, her vertebrate cracking under the force. She brought her knee right into his chin, trying to get free.
Zacarias did not care that his jaw was now broken from the force of her knee, nor did he acknowledge that she had such power. He dug his claws into her neck before he pulled hi other hand back to slam it into her chest, treating her as if she was a vampire.
Nicolas and Manolito were on his in an instant. Their brother was damning himself to a vampire life! they did not know what had gotten into him. His mind was a dark rage of red, and they could feel the vampire's influence over him. Nicolas grabbed Zacarais' wrist that was around the woman's throat while Manolito grabbed the other hand, ripping the tendons in it. Manolito did not want to do it but his hand was already within her chest, he just needed to prevent him from ripping the heart out.
'RAFAEL RIORDAN COME HELP! ZACARIAS IS ATTACKING HIS LIFEMATE!' No sooner had Nicolas sent out the call did they appear. They pulled their brother off the woman, knowing they had to be the one to save him from himself. They pulled Zacarias, who fought violently, into the other room. They had to remove the poisonous vampire blood, before they could sate the damage that had been done. They all doubted that Zacarias' lifemate would ever forgive him. They just prayed things could get better.
Artemis fell, bleeding and in great pain, to the floor. The men had all gone to take care of the insane one, leaving her to escape. She stood, holding her chest wound, and made her way to the door. She had to escape before that man killed her. She would never let herself be killed by a man, let alone one like him.
"OH MY GOD! What happened?!?" A young feminine voice called. Artemis cursed her luck and decided she needed to break free and do so now. She glared at the woman, it was the one who had known the breed of male that had attacked the girl. She ignored the woman and opened the door, only to snarl and bare her fangs as the woman touched her shoulder.
"Back off you blood whore. I will not have you treat me with whatever false kindness you have. I should have fucking let the girl play out her role on someone else. I was a fool to not see the trap." With that she let her wolf free, changing her form before she ran into the forest. She ran and ran and ran till she came upon a large canopy tree that had an empty den beneath it's roots. Just her luck. She limped and crawled into the den before she blacked out from blood loss. Her wounds would heal but the scars would not.
Zacarias fought his brother, trying to explain to them that he needed to kill the woman before she killed them. But they would hear none of it. Instead they, combining their power, tore into his mind to see what had happened. Manolito and Nicolas removed themselves from their bodies, entering Zacarias in order to destroy the vampire blood.
'Riordan... The woman left badly wounded. What happened?' His mate's sweet voice whispered across his mind. He explained to her everything that happened, and he could feel her fear and concern build for both his brother and his future lifemate. He couldn't help but feel the same, for he knew that Zacarias just might have damned himself forever.
Manolito pulled himself out of Zacarias body, panting softly and feeling hunger grip him. He felt his wolf come forward to take some of the brunt of his hunger, while at the same time his wolf wanted to hurt Zacarias. He frowned before he stood, excusing himself as he sought out his mate for comfort. He prayed his brother would make things right. Soon he and the rest of his brother would seek the woman out to help her and protect her for she would soon be their little sister.
Nicolas stared down at Zacarias, watching his older brother carefully. He stood and helped his brother up.
"Zacarias, do you realize what you have done?" His voice was on edge, he was pissed at his brother for hurting a female but more so, pissed that he had hurt his life mate.
Zacarias nodded, saying nothing. Of course he knew what he had done. He had attacked his lifemate, even when he saw in colors and felt rage, he still had attacked her. He had no connection to her, which set his teeth on edge, to find her. But he would be damned if the woman he was destined to be with for the rest of his life left him. She was his and she belonged where he put her. He looked to his brothers, Nicolas and Rafael.
"Search the forest. Find her and bring her here." It was an order, one of which is brothers followed willingly. He took to vapor form, flowing threw the forest with ease. That woman needed to be home in his bed, where she belonged. He growled to himself as he forced himself to move faster through the forest. It would only be a matter of time until he found her, and when he did, she would be punished for leaving the house. Oh how quickly he forgot his own miss acti
ons.
