Wrath stared at her for a moment before he turned back to the sounds of the guys playing pool. "I don't understand."
"Of course not. Any history involving us was burned by my great uncle, your grandfather." She stared down at her feet, watching her toes in the carpet. "I'm a Guardian. My job is to ensure the safety of the Royal bloodline by any means necessary. Usually there are two in a single generation but..." she trailed off and closed her eyes. Her mind was assaulted by images of a single face. Wide smile, big green eyes and freckles.
"But?"
"He died." She opened her eyes when the room grew silent.
"By any means necessary?"
"I will kill for you. I will live for you. I will protect your children. Bear them if necessary." He scoffed and she grunted. "That last part sent me through a loop when I first found out, considering I was already mated at the time."
"Why do you hate Her so much?"
"She let them die. I would go so far as to say She killed them."
"Why?"
"I called to her when Mhercy was being raped and tortured. He was seven. I prayed when my mother was set aflame in front of my father and I begged for their lives as they were decapitated and strung out to the trees. And then they took my hellren and made him watch as they..." Her voice stopped in a sob. Usually she didn't get emotional. It was a rule. In fact, the only time she got that way was when she was under some seriously heavy bondage and at Xhex and Rehv's mercy. "I would have had a son. My hellren was killed after our son was ripped from my body. The only reason I escaped was because of this fucking curse." She rubbed her sides a bit.
Wrath had his head in her direction. He stared through the glasses on his face straight into her even with his blind eyes. He waited, let her collect herself and she slid down the wall to a sitting position.
"My line was cursed when it was created. Cursed to watch, to guard and protect. To serve in every sense of the word. "No" is not a word in my vocabulary when it comes to you or your blooded children or your shellen." Bringing her knees to her chest, Vehngence stared off into space. "I stayed away from this place, our people because I didn't want this. I wanted my normality, my family. I didn't want to be at the mercy of those at the head. Not like my father was to yours." Of course she knew about the murder of the last King and his shellen. Her father hadn't died that night. He'd been out with the Brothers fighting to protect the King in another way, on the King's own orders.
"Then why did you save them?"
"I honestly didn't know what was happening until I was already in the thick of it. Then it just became the right thing to do."
"I can't let you leave."
"I know." The silence wasn't tense. It wasn't unbearable. The two of them sat there just mulling over what was said.
"You need to feed."
"I'll figure it out." With that, she got up and started away from the King. When Vehngence felt her arm grabbed, she paused and turned to look at Wrath.
"From this day forward, I won't force you to do anything."
"You won't be able to stop it." A soft tug of her arm and he let her wrist go. Lassiter came out of the shadows and followed her out of the tv room.
Vehngence scuffed her foot along the carpet, her insides feeling tingly with the softness of it. Her eyes were staring straight at the ground. She had come back to Vishous and was currently in the room with him and his shellen. They called it the "pit." Lassiter was just outside the door since Vishous couldn't stand the metal head."So you're saying you want to donate?" Doc Jane looked at her hellren with a look that plainly stated she didn't believe a word of it.
"It's not a question of want," he said to her. Vehngence plastered a fake smile on her face and bowed lightly.
"No worries. I will go elsewhere. Thank you for your time Doctor. Warrior." She turned on her heel and started for the door.
"Wait!" Doc Jane yelled out for her. A hand found her shoulder and she tensed, turning around slowly. "How are you feeling? You were out for over a week." Vehngence looked at the woman's shoes, focusing on them intently as the hand stayed on her shoulder. It was hard not to jerk away and attack, even if the woman who held her wasn't a threat.
"The King said I needed to feed. Other than the hunger clawing at my neck, I'm fine." It was also the fact that she could feel the male's blood in her veins and it was calling for more.
Sup shorty?
My blood doesn't know the difference between order and suggestion yet.
Ah.
"So you just need to feed?" the good doctor asked her.
"Wait, are you asking-" she stopped and looked up at the woman, eying her seriously. "Look, I am not interested in him," she hiked a thumb at Vishous. She didn't mention she might have had a thought or two about it after some of the blow back from her memory transfer over a week ago. "No worries Doc. I just need some spillage and I'll be on my way. You can sit and watch, in fact, I insist."
"Who said I was game?" Both women looked over, Jane quirking a brow.
"Do I need to leave?" Vehngence asked quietly. Vishous' lip raised a little as he looked at his shellen. She just took a step towards him, finger poking him in the chest. Oh, so that's how this was working.
The power play didn't last long. The big bad male backed down without much of a fight. He walked over to the foot of the bed and sat down. Jane nodded to him and he looked around the small woman right at Vehngence. She looked at Jane and the doctor nodded at her. Suddenly, this just did not seem like the best idea. She took a step back, towards the door. Then another. A growl caused her foot to stop. Sure, it was pretty stupid for her to step back considering she could eliminate anything in her way without so much as a backwards glance, but that growl was pretty fucking intense.
C'mere runt.
No.
Now.
Not a good idea.
"Vehngence, get over to the bed." Jane's voice cut through her staring contest with Vishous and she blinked over to the doctor. The order had been firm, commanding. Vehngence did as she was told. No wonder the big, bonded male had just let it go. And then there was the fact that this tiny woman only inches taller than she could wield a scalpel and blood pressure cuff with insane precision.
Slowly, she sank to her knees, careful not to touch Vishous with her body, in between his legs. Then, pulling her hair over one shoulder, the opposite from Jane so the good doctor could watch, she leaned over, still not touching the bonded male, and sank her fangs in deep. Her eyes rolled to the side to stare at Jane. Vishous grunted something in the old language, his eyes going to Jane as well. Jane chose to focus on the wrist currently being femhandled.
It was a good thing Jane didn't have a keen sense of smell. Both Vehngence and Vishous tried to think of the most unappealing things imaginable. He went back to his time at the camps while she thought about her baby brother. Any and all rising passions, no matter how reflexive, died instantly. When she had taken enough to make it through for a couple of days and not drain the larger male, Vehngence closed the tiny wounds and stood, still not touching Vishous. She bowed to him deeply when she stepped away from him, then turned to Jane and did the same, thanking him in the old language for use of her mate.
Vehngence couldn't get out of there fast enough. She walked back to the main house quickly and when she was buzzed in the door was shut behind her, she let out a small breath. Fritz, the doggen walked over to her and smiled politely.
"Would you like some tea mistress?"
"No thank you Fritz." She went to walk passed him but paused when she was shoulder to shoulder with the old man. "Is Hollywood on rotation tonight?"
"He should be back just before dawn Mistress."
"Thank you Fritz. I will take some peanut butter, hot fudge and crackers in my room if it isn't too much trouble." He smiled wide and scampered off to collect her snacks. She couldn't help the small smile that pressed her lips. It had been a long time since she had had a doggen wait on her. With a small shake of the head, Vehngence started for the stairs.
Upon arriving to the room she had been given, that she now wasn't so uncomfortable calling hers, Vehngence noticed a small box and a card sitting outside the door. She reached down and picked it up, turning over the small card.
Thought you might like it.
When you need Me
You know how to find Me.
-Rev
Vehngence opened the box and found an iPod inside. There were some headphones attached too it and looking at the box, she noticed that it had been opened. After opening it herself, she turned it on and noticed the memory was almost full with music. Stepping into her room, she moved towards the big stereo system and plugged the small device in with the auxiliary cord. From there, mixed tones of heavy metal, hip-hop, club tech and classical would be heard every time her door opened.
