Ch. 471..475: The Werewolf's Vampire Mate Chapter 471-475

Chapter 471: The bite

Jabi

I stand up from the grass as he walks up to me with a smile on his face.

"Where have you been? It almost seems like you are avoiding me." He stops in front of me as I grab my bags and book from the floor. My hands are shaking because I am terrified that he is going to hurt me again.

I don’t want to be alone with him.

Then tell Darrien

My wolf scolds me, even though I already know that this is something I need to tell my mate. Darrien will not like the fact that I have been suspicious all night and didn’t mention anything. It is not that I didn’t want to tell him anything but I didn’t know what to tell him.

"I wasn’t avoiding you. I just want to be alone today.’’

He raises a brow as he stops in front of me. His eyes bore into mine and the more I see him, the scarier he seems. How come I didn’t see this before? How did I think that I could be friends with him just because he is a vampire? Now that I think about it all, everything from the day we met is suspicious.

How did I run out of blood so fast?

Is he the one that emptied out my flask?

Has he been watching me?

"You look scared, why are you shaking?’’ He raises his hand but I turn away from him before he can rest it on my cheek.

"Did I do something?’’ he asks calmly.

He wants me to trust him. This is all an act and I can see it now. How was I so blind before?

"What happened yesterday? Something happened and I can’t remember. What did you do to me?"

"I didn’t do anything to you, why do you say that?’’

He asks as he leans forward and pushes his shoulder into mine. I am not prepared for what is happening. Maybe confronting him was not a good idea. I should have spoken to Dar first about everything that is bothering me.

"What do you think I did to you?’’ he asks even moving closer to me. At this point, my face is so close to his that I want to just run away from this situation.

"He is getting to you,’’ he shakes his head and his eyes flicker. If I didn’t know better, I would believe him right now.

"Who?’’

He shrugs "Darrien. He has convinced you that I am a bad guy. Hasn’t he?’’

I shake my head immediately "This has nothing to do with him. I know something happened last night and you did something to me, to make me forget.’’ I glare at him angrily because I hate this gap in my memory.

He raises his hand up again and this time, he brushes his fingers against the mark that Darrien gave me during our mating ceremony.

"How did you taste when he had you?’ he asks with this dreamy expression plastered on his face.

"How did you taste when he had you?’’ He asks again as he leans forward and puts his hand on my neck. I am shaking just from the idea of him touching me. I don’t know what he is doing but I don’t want him to. His eyes are black, he can read my every thought. I can’t stand it anymore.

"S-stop it!" I fling my hands up. He smiles and nothing looks as it should. I don’t like how he is looking at me. I need to get away from him, but somehow it feel as if I am rooted to the spot. He turns me towards him and puts his hand on my neck.

"I don’t want to be anywhere near you,’’ I say, hoping he will get the message and leave me alone.

This is a mistake, one that I wish I hadn’t pushed for.

"Let me have a taste, just one taste,’’ he smiles as he leans forwards, his lips against my neck. His touch makes my skin crawl, I have never been this irritated in my life. He is touching me and I feel sick to my stomach.

Darrien, help me. I need you now.

I send Darrien a mind link. I need him to come, I can’t push him away. It feels like I am stuck on the ground. His breath is hot against my skin, his tongue slides over my neck. I want to push him away but I can’t move. I feel the warmth of his lips as he sucks on my neck. A familiar feeling starts to grow inside me. A feeling of dread, fear. I am not in control of what is happening and I can’t stop it.

WHAT IS GOING ON?

Darrien’s voice swarms my ear as I hear him send a mind link. Lenny is so focused on his pleasure as I feel his teeth graze along my neck. My heart beats fast and I see black dots swimming in my vision. A feeling of dizziness hits me and I start to feel sick. I feel as if I am going to puke.

Lenny. He is hurting me.

I manage a couple of words in despair as his teeth pierce into my skin. I am going to die. He is killing me.

Darrien’s voice says something to me but I can’t focus. It is all a blur. I feel like I am going to die. I hate his touch, he is hurting me and it feels like there is nothing I can do.

I close my eyes because I don’t even want to see this. I don’t want to feel anything right now. He is taking a part of me that only belongs to my mate and it is all my fault.

I caused this pain I am feeling right now.

No one but me.

I am naive, I am stupid. I didn’t listen and this has happened. I don’t know what this is but I want out of it. I want him to let go of me. In a split second, my knees buckle and I fall to the ground as he wraps his arms around me.

Suddenly everything blacks out.

Chapter 472: Missing memories

Darrien

I get to the school in a frenzy because I don’t like the mind link that he sent and even though I couldn’t see him, I know that something is wrong. I shouldn’t have trusted Lenny with him, what was I thinking?

I had a gut feeling that he was up to something but I still gave him the benefit of the doubt. I didn’t think with my instincts all because I wanted to make Jabi happy. The second I get to the front of the school building, I feel Jabi immediately and just like a map, we are connected. I get to the field in search of him and it is pretty easy. His scent is very strong as I get to the field and my worry intensifies. I just know that something isn’t right but I need to find him.

I reach for my phone in my pocket and dial his number. He answers on the first ring and my heart stops for a second.

"Where are you?’’ I ask him immediately, still looking around the field.

"Under the bleachers with Lenny. Are you okay?’’ he asks me and his voice is calm and collected. This is not the same person that sent me a mind link. Something is wrong right now.

I run in the direction of the bleachers but he comes out before I can duck inside. Lenny is by his side and they look okay.

"Darrien," he calls my name as he notices me, there is a confused expression on his face, almost like he doesn’t know why I am here.

"Come here,’’ I grab his arm to pull him away from Lenny and he doesn’t resist. There is a smile on Lenny’s face. I don’t like this smile one bit. I don’t like this situation one bit. Something is going on and I don’t want Jabi anywhere near this guy.

"Hey,’’ he waves his hand in the air as he clutches his backpack with his other hand. My eyes stay fixed on Jabi because I want to know if he is alright. He looks alright but something seems fishy.

"Hey," he calls me again, his eyes boring into mine. It seems like he is worried about me when I should be the one worried. This is all happening because he sent me a mind link. He said he was hurt but right now, it doesn’t look like he is hurt.

"Darrien," he breathes out my name and it makes my heart beat faster. I grab his face in my palm, trying to make sure he is hurt. I check his face for any sign but there is nothing and I don’t know what I am expecting, he would have healed if he was hurt.

"What is wrong, why are you here?’’ he asks me but I am out of my mind right now.

I turn to Lenny, who is just standing there creepily. I hate this man and I don’t even know why.

I just know that he did something to Jabi and I will get to the bottom of it. "I want you to stay away from Jabi. You hear me?’’ I scream at him because I am pissed off right now. Upset to the point where I just want to eliminate him from this world.

"Okay, it seems like I have done something again. Even though I don’t know what that is.’ he walks closer to us and faces Jabi "I will see you later,’’ he adds before walking away from us.

My eyes go back to Jabi, who is still just staring at me "You sent me a mind link. You sounded terrified. He did something to you.’’

He furrows his brows in confusion "I never sent you a mind link. There is nothing going on with him.’’

I know what this is.

He messed with his memories and I will find a way to prove it "Come on, I can’t explain this to you while you are like this.’’ I grab his arm and lead him to the parking lot.

"School’s not over,’’ he objects but I glare at him angrily because this is what I should have don’t from the get-go. I wasn’t thinking straight, all just because I wanted to please him and now there is something messed up going on that I can’t pinpoint. I don’t know what he has done.

"Dar, you are hurting me. Please let me go,’’ he begs me as we get to the car. I stop walking and turn to him. There are tears in his eyes. I am making him cry and I don’t like that.

"Can you just listen to me? Please just trust me right now." I beg him because I need him to cooperate with me.

"Lenny didn’t do anything to me. You don’t have any reason to worry.’’ he tries to assure me but I know what he sent me. I felt his pain in that link. I know that he was hurt but I can’t figure out what he did.

"Okay, let’s say he didn’t do anything to hurt you. Let’s say he is not a bad guy. Can you just let me make sure?’’

He nods and I reach for him, slowly wiping the tears from his face. "Okay. Maybe I should just stop hanging out with him. It seems like you are never going to be okay with it."

That is the best thing right now but I need to make sure he hasn’t done anything to my baby.

"He messed with your memory. Something happened to you but you can’t remember,’’ I tell him.

"Are you sure?’’

"What do you remember?’’ I ask him. My eyes focused on his face. Apart from the moisture in his eyes, he looks fine.

"Everything. I haven’t forgotten anything. During lunch, I went under the bleachers, I met a girl. Her name is Jaina, and then Lenny came to join me. We talked about him and how he became a vampire. I told him about you and how I met you. There was nothing dangerous about the conversation."

It’s weird but I still don’t believe that everything is okay.

"I am taking you to Eligio. I don’t know what he did but he did something and I am going to find out and when I find out, I am going to kill that motherfucker."

Chapter 473: Uncertainty

Darrien

We get to the mansion and I walk into the house with his arm in mine. He is very quiet. The car ride was quiet. I am so angry and right now, this is the angriest I have ever been. My anger is not directed at Jabi because this is not his fault. It is my fault. From the beginning, I didn’t trust the guy but I let him into our lives.

"I am sorry,’’ he cries, stopping me in front of the door. I turn to him and he looks at me and I see the most sorrowful look on his face.

I can’t help but give him a hug.

"I am sorry. I did not mean to do this to us. This is all my fault. I shouldn’t have gone back to school. We were happy and now I have messed things up.’’ he cries in my arms and this just makes me angrier because this is not his fault. He has a right to want a life. He has a right to want to go to school, he has a right to do whatever the fuck he wants. I know that Lenny befriended him intentionally. I know that it wasn’t just a coincidence and he doesn’t need to apologize for that.

"This is not your fault, I don’t want to hear an apologize for this. We will figure this out. I promise you.’ My hand rubs the back of his head as I try to comfort him. He wraps his arms around my waist and I hold him tight. I am so scared, I don’t want anything to happen to him.

"Come on, let’s go inside."

Eligio can find out whatever it is that happened to him while he was alone with that bastard. The minute we walk into the house, Elu comes down from the stairs. A smile sprawls on her face as she sees us.

"What a pleasant surprise,’’ she mutters as she walks over to use and reaches for Jabi "Hey cutie,’’ she grabs his hands in hers. Elu has always been fond of Jabi.

"How are you?’’ she asks, bending down to hug him.

"I am fine,’’ he responds politely. Jabi is still not comfortable around my family members. He is still in his shell when surrounded by vampires, so I completely understand why his response will be shy.

"You don’t look fine, you are very pale,’’ she notices with a raised brow.

"Where is Eligio?’ I ask her because that is what is important right now.

"He’s out, did you call him?’’

I shake my head because I didn’t think to call him "When do you think he will be back?’’ I question already getting impatient.

My mind is in a frenzy because of all the shit that is happening and I don’t know how long I can handle not knowing. Something happened to Jabi and he doesn’t remember. I just don’t want to be too slow about everything that happened and then end up regretting it.

"He went out with some of his friends from back in the day. He might not be back in a while."

I groan out in frustration, grabbing my phone from my pocket "Wait for me in the living room,’’ I tell Jabi, who just looks at me sadly. His eyes are welling up again. It looks like he is about to cry again.

I don’t want him to cry.

I should be able to protect him and right now, I don’t know what to protect him from. I don’t know what Lenny did to him. How do I fix what I don’t know?

I just want to kill the motherfucker, maybe if he is dead, he can’t hurt my baby.

I watch him walk to the door that leads to the living room and Elu follows him, with her arms over his. I dial Eligio’s number and he answers on the first ring.

"Darrien calling me, what is the emergency,’’ he voices out into the phone.

I roll my eyes because even till now, I don’t want to need anyone. I don’t want to have to ask him for this favor because I don’t like being indebted to people but now, I have to and he is going to rub it in.

"Where are you?’’ I am not even going to bother with preliminaries. I am so bothered and I don’t know how to handle all this shit.

"Out, what is wrong?’’

"When will you be back, if you can come back home right now, I need you to do that.’’ I stomp my foot on the ground in frustration.

I hate this feeling.

Right now, I feel useless.

"You have to tell me what is wrong first. You can’t just command me to come home and expect me to leave everything I am doing and do that.’’

I sigh, running my fingers through my hair in frustration "Just come home, please. It is urgent and I need your help,’’ I reduce my voice and soften the tone because I need him. He would be doing me a favor by coming home and I don’t want to be my usual angry self. I need to calm down or else I will just end up aggravating him.

"Okay, give me thirty minutes." he ends the call before I can respond to him and I look at the phone in my grip. My hands are shaking, my heart is racing.

Deep down, I know that there is a threat but I don’t know what it is. The one thing I can’t handle is not knowing and that is what is happening to me right now.

I don’t know how to protect him.

I don’t know how to be his Alpha right now.

I walk in the direction of the living room and I hear his murmurs with Elu. Once in front of the door to the room. I see them. Elu has a smile on her face as they talk. Jabi is looking at her but he is expressionless.

He looks up at me and slowly, his lips turn up.

I just need to figure this out and then everything will be okay.

Chapter 474: Feelings

Darrien

The minute El walks through those doors, I jump up from my seat and run over to the front door of the house. He looks up at me and there is a worried expression on his face "Is anyone hurt?’’ he asks immediately.

He came here in less than thirty minutes. I am sure he could sense the worry from my call. El is good at sensing things. He knows when something is wrong. He can see things that none of us can. So he should be able to get into Jabi’s head.

He should be able to tell me the things that I don’t know.

The things that Jabi can’t remember.

"No, but I need you to go into Jabi’s head. Something happened today. He sent me a mind link and somehow, he can’t remember sending it to me.’’

He furrows his brows "That’s not possible. Are you sure about that?’’

"Yes, he did it and sent it to me. I know he did, I could feel him and I knew someone was hurting him."

"Someone, did he tell you who it was?’’

There is no debating. I know Lenny did something to him. So I tell him everything that has happened so far. The fact that we let a vampire into our home, into our life. Someone that we didn’t know and I am ashamed to even tell him this because I should have known better.

I know the kind of life we have. I know how dangerous being a vampire is. There are people out there that would want to hurt us, kill us, and I let Lenny into my home because I wanted to make Jabi happy.

I was weak at that moment and I didn’t act as a protector. I was using my heart to think instead of my head and that is so unlike me.

I should have known fucking better.

I tell him everything. He listens intently.

He doesn’t look as concerned as he should be.

"Who is this vampire and what does he want?’’

I shrug because I actually don’t know what he wants from Jabi. All I know is that he is here and he wants to hurt Jabi.

"I don’t know, El. I don’t know what the vampire wants. I don’t know what he was going to do to Jabi. It doesn’t make sense to me, but whatever it is, I just want to stop it.’’

He nods and I see the look on his face, the one that makes me calm down a little bit.

"Okay, I will check it out. I will see what I can find,’’ he reaches for me and rests his hand on my shoulder.

I take a deep breath because this is a lot for me to deal with and I just need the affirmations to make me stop him. Once I find out that he tried to hurt Jabi, then I will deal with it the way that I know how to.

Eligio walks with me to the living room and Jabi stands up from the couch. His eyes are on me as El walks over to him.

"Hi Jabi,’’ he smiles at my mate.

I watch them as he asks him some questions and I watch him as he answers them. He doesn’t know what happened. His memory seems fine. He remembers everything that happened between him and Lenny.

He doesn’t remember sending me a mind link.

"I know what you sent me. I remember it.’’ I interrupt him because I just need him to believe that this is all not in my head. He is looking at me like I am crazy and I know that I am not crazy.

"I know. I believe you. I just don’t know why I can’t remember,’’ he manages as his eyes shift to me.

At the end of the day, I am the reason why this is happening, so I can’t blame Jabi for anything.

"Something has happened and we will figure it out. I just need you to calm down.’ Eligio tells me calmly.

It is easier said than done. I mean, how can I calm down when I feel like I am about to lose my mind. If the mind link was all in my head, then why did I feel him in pain? I know what I felt and even though he can’t remember we are connected and I am here to remember for him.

"Okay, can you just get this over with," I tell El because I hate waiting and right now I am impatient about this whole mess.

"Okay, come on. I want you to sit down." he directs his demand to Jabi, who obeys immediately.

I take a deep breath as I watch him obey my brother "So whatever I search for, has to be in your head. Whatever I see is all from you.’’ he tells him as he reaches forward and rests his hands on Jabi’s temple. The room is quiet, the only sounds come from our breathing. Even though I am watching this moment, I can’t see anything.

"I want you to focus on my hands on you, don’t think about anything else. Let me inside your head right now.’’

I watch them but when Eligio tells him to search, I feel everything.

The pain that he felt.

The tears that he cried.

The memories that he has.

The fear.

I see the scene that I wanted to remember. The conversation that they had. I watch Lenny as he comes close to Jabi and reaches for him. It seems like it is my memory and not Jabi’s. I don’t know what is happening but I see it all.

I watch Jabi as he begs.

Frozen in place.

I see Lenny’s hands on my mate. I see him as he takes his blood over the mark that I gave him. The one thing that was supposed to be sacred.

The violation.

My fucking mark.

I see it all and all I want to do is fucking kill him.

Darrien

I open my eyes and they are still in the position that they were in when I saw everything. I don’t want to interrupt El because there is a possibility that he is seeing all the things I just saw.

I know for a fact that I am not just a hallucination. All the things I saw in my head felt real. I try to look at the mark on Jabi’s neck. The one that I gave him, to see if there is anything different but the way he is sitting down makes it hard to see.

After a couple of minutes, Eligio opens his eyes and I walk closer to them.

"Did you see it?’’ I ask immediately.

Even before he answers my question. I see the expression on his face and before he utters the words, I know that what he is about to say is not good.

"His memory is intact. There is nothing new from what he said.’’

My hands are shaking as the words leave his lips.

"No, that can’t be. I know what happened. I just saw it." I explain but the way he is looking at me makes it feel like he doesn’t believe me and I need him to believe me.

’What do you mean by that?’’ Eligio asks in a flat tone.

’’I saw everything,’’ I emphasize, causing Jabi to get up from the couch and walk over to me. He stops in front of me and I reach for his face "He bit you,’’ I raise his head up with my hand to look at the mark but there is nothing different. I know this is not a way to prove it but I am so pissed. I don’t even care anymore. I want to hurt him just the way he hurt Jabi.

"Why would he do that, what good is a werewolf’s blood?"’ Eligio asks me. His voice is soft, I don’t know why he is so calm when I am so upset right now.

"He is not a werewolf anymore. He is a fucking hybrid. I don’t know what he wants with him but I am going to kill that bastard."

I face Jabi again, my eyes are wide, my heart is racing a mile a minute ’Give me your phone.’’ Jabi hands me his phone and I flick it open. I search for a phone app and search for Lenny’s contact.

"Who do you want to call?’’ Jabi asks me meekly.

His voice is shaking but right now, I can’t focus on that. I scroll to the contact and hold my finger on Lenny’s name. I am about to press the call button when I feel Jabi’s hand on the back of my head.

I don’t know if this is a good idea but this is the only thing I can do right now. I want to find out what he wants and I want him to hurt as much as he hurt my mate.

"I will be back,’’ he lets go of me as the words leave my lips. He is looking at me and I know he doesn’t want me to leave him but I need to find this Lenny guy and find out what he fucking wants.

"Stay here,’’ I tell him, grabbing his hand in mine. I let go of his hand and walk out of the house. Eligio doesn’t even stop me. There is no one that can stop me from doing this.

I send him a message as Jabi and his response is quick. Almost like he has been waiting for his message.

I look at their texts.

The messages before the one I just sent.

Jabi only gives him one-word replies. It seems like he planned it all. Like he was pulling him in. I still don’t know what he wants but I know it has something to do with his blood.

Meet me under the bleachers.

I send him another message and he responds immediately. I get to my car and the drive is quick. I have never been this boiling in all my life. No one has ever made me as angry as this guy has and I fucking just met him.

I get to the school and there are students loitering around. Maybe it was a mistake letting him out of my sight. Maybe I should have told him not to go to school. I wanted to be diplomatic. I wanted to give him everything and I ended up hurting him.

I get down from the car and walk to the back of the building and straight to the field. I know he will be there. I know he will be waiting for me and I know that he knows that it wasn’t Jabi that sent the message. There is no way he doesn’t know.

I get to the field and there are only a few students around. I peer around the corner and I can see him. I can see his hair against the grass it is so dark.

My hands are shaking as I walk closer to him. It is taking a lot of restraint from me not to charge over to him and snap his head out of his body.

He is sitting on the bleachers with his back to me. He knows I am here and he is not afraid, which just means that this is exactly what he wanted.

I get closer to him. I get to the bleachers. He turns his head when I get to the bleachers and looks at me. He doesn’t say anything. He just smiles. The kind of smile that makes me sick to my stomach.

"Hello Darrien,’’ he drawls out my name.

I squeeze my hands into fists because I have reached a place where I can’t come out of. I am fuming and I am about to explode.

He doesn’t look defenseless which just means I have to be careful with my attack. I want to be deliberate but the look on his face tells me that this won’t be easy but I have come all this way and I have to follow through.

He has to pay for what he did to Jabi.

I want to kill him.
