Chapter Thirty-Seven
Unedited
Elena's POV
I've been training none stop for months. I have a feeling Rain and Nathan are coming after me soon. I haven't told anyone about Annalise. Every time I would try to, something held me back. Like a spell was charmed on my voice. I hated not being able to tell Zack.
He's my mate, mates don't keep secrets. My anger rose an I hit the practice dummy with a strong fists. I punched, kicked, kneed an elbowed the dummy over an over again. I had my hair pulled back in a tight bun. In compact my hair down was a weakness.
If my opponent grabbed a hold of my hair, I would for sure go down or get captured. If they got close enough to grab a hand full of it anyway. Jason taught me how to fight with my body without weapons. Rolland and Darren taught me how to use weapons.
I was becoming a expert with a sword, knifes, and a bow. Katrina has been secretively teaching me how to use magic. Me, my mate, and her are still the only ones who know I'm part witch. No one else knows I'm part every other magical creature.
My father has been helping me master dream walking. In case I do get kidnapped I will be able to communicate with everyone. It was hard to concentrate the first several times. Now it comes naturally to me.
Rain hasn't invaded my dreams yet, but I know she will soon. Rage forced me to hit the dummy harder. Zack trained me how to fight smart, an not let anger control my fighting. He showed me how to be patient for the right time to attack. Ali would stand on the side lines with my mother giving me encouragement. My mother hated the fact I wanted to fight.
She would always say, "You might be a werewolf but you can still be a lady."
The King an Queen had gathered thousands of more soldiers. The kingdom guard have increased their training. Rolland traveled between the kingdom an here to help with the practices. Jonah, Seth, Matthew, Eric and Samantha is joining us at the cabin. Matt an Samantha will be staying in one the rooms on the sixth floor with me and Zack. Eric and Seth is staying on the fourth floor spare rooms. Jonah will be staying one the first floor spare bedroom.
Jonah and Seth will be helping me practice as well. Since I know Jason's, Ali's, my fathers, Darren, Rolland, my mate, and Katrina's weakness I'm beating them easily. New challenges will help me become stronger an put my mates advice to great use.
"Elena?" Ali walked up to me an handed me a bottle of water.
"Thanks." I said before taking long drinks. Sweat ran down my body. My tank top an sports bra soaked. My skin felt clammy.
"You need to get washed up before dinner. Your prince is taking you out." Ali smiled knowingly at me.
"Do you know where?" My brow lifted.
"Nope." She made a popping noise on the 'p'.
"Okay I guess I'm going to clean up. Soon as we get back I'm going to start training again." I walked out of the huge gym an made my way to mine an Zack's bedroom.
"Hey beautiful." Zack smiled at me.
My legs felt like jello an my heart beat almost out of chest. Under his glaze I felt embarrassed at how I looked. I looked away from him an blushed bright red.
"Hey, hey, hey; don't hide your face." Zack frowned an made his way over to me. He lifted my head to lock our eyes with each other. "Please don't do that. I love looking at your eyes. When you blush it's the cutest thing."
I buried my face into his chest, hanging on to him. His warmth surrounded me. I sighed, "okay."
"Did Ali tell you I'm taking you out?" He asked.
I nodded my head, "Yes. Where are we going?"
"A secret. Wear something nice. Or not, it doesn't matter. Your beautiful either way." He smirked.
That smirk of his made me want to melt. I felt like frosty the snowman when winter ended. Zack leaned in touching our noses together. Our lips rubbing against each other. I teased him an wrapped my arms around his neck. I pushed my body closer to his. I batted my eye lashes an looked into his eyes before looking back to his lips.
He bite his bottom lip an swallowed. He pulled me closer to him an had a tight hold around me. My breathe caught, I could smell his arousal. My vampire senses were kicking in, and everything is heightened. He placed his lips on my own an began kissing me hungrily.
I kissed down his neck in the crease by his jugular. A want an need to lightly puncture my teeth in his neck strengthened. I wanted just a small taste of his blood. Realizing my gums started bleed and hurt I pulled away. Zack was stunned at how I pulled away.
I raced to the bathroom mirror an he followed after me. I turned the sink on an rinsed my mouth out. I spit blood out and kept rinsing it out.
"Elena are you okay?" Zack smelled my blood an looked at me with a worried expression.
I didn't answer after the blood was gone I rose my lips away from my top teeth. A set of fangs pointed down. I gasped an hugged my mate with everything in me.
"Elena?" Zack called out my name.
"Zack I'm a vampire." I cried.
"What are you talking about?"
I took a deep breathe an looked up at him and smiled. Zack's eyes grew wide when he saw my new fangs. Tears welled up in my eyes. I took my hands and covered my face leaning into him. I cried a soft cry.
Zack wrapped his arms around me and whispered in his gentle voice, "It's okay. This doesn't change anything. It only proves how special you are and strong you are."
I looked up at him with a wet face, "You still love me even though I'm a freak?"
He chuckled and I blushed. "Of course I still love you. I'll never stop loving you."
I hiccuped a few more tears until I calmed down. "I love you too."
"Maybe we should stay home tonight." Zack mumbled.
"No! I want to go out." I whined.
"Are you sure? I'll understand if you don't."
"I want to go out." I repeated.
"Okay," he sighed "Let's go get ready."
I went to our walk in closet and looked through the evening dresses Zack bought me. I couldn't find anything yet so I decided to start my make up and hair.
I curled my hair into long tight curls. I clipped half of it up and let the rest flow down my shoulders and back. I did a smokey eye with black mascara and eyeliner. I applied a small amount of pink blush and clear lip gloss.
"Elena?" Zack called from the bathroom.
"Yes?" I answered.
"Go look in the closet. There's something there for you." I could clearly hear the smile in Zack's voice.
I walked in a fast pace to the closet. I looked around, "I don't see anything."
"Look in the far left corner. There's three boxes. Ones real big an ones a little smaller box. Then there is a small box." He replied.
I scanned the corner until I saw the boxes. I carried them to the bedroom and laid them on the bed. I opened the smallest box first. It was a ruby necklace with matching ruby ear rings. The second box was a pair of red high hills, the shoes looked comfortable. The bigger box was a red satin dress.
A slit went up my left leg, the hem near the slit had beautiful small ruffles. The straps rested on the side of shoulders and arms. I quickly jerked my robe off and slipped the dress on. It fit me like a glove, showing off all my curves but nothing too revealing. I put the heels on and eased the ear rings in my ears. I left the ring my mate had gave me. I wouldn't take it off until my engagement ring.
"You look breathtaking." Zack's eyes roamed my body.
"Can you help me with this?" I held the ruby necklace up.
"Certainly." He grinned.
Zack lifted it over my head and clasped it on. He lifted my hair over the necklace and pulled my back against his chest. He kissed my neck and I moaned. Sparks spreading like a wildfire all the way to my soul.
My eyes felt weird an felt uncomfortable, my gums started to throb.
"What's wrong?" Zack spun me around shock masking his face, then turned knowingly.
"What is it?" I frowned worried.
"Your eyes. There silver." He replied.
"Like yours are when your hungry?" My frowned fell more.
He nodded leading me to the bed he made me sit with him beside me. "I want you to feed."
"What? No! I can't feed from you." I blushed.
"Why? I feed from you! Why can't you feed from me?" He growled.
"Don't you dare use that tone with me." I hissed.
Zack closed his eyes taking deep breathes. He finally opened his eyes, "I'm sorry. I don't want to force you but you have to feed and I refuse to let you on anyone else. Feeding from someone is intimate. You are only allowed to share that with me."
"Excuse me but I am not someone you own. I'm not your slave." I hissed again.
"Listen here and listen good, you will only feed from me. No one else. Are we clear." He glared at me.
"Crystal." I snarled through gritted teeth.
"It's settled then, your feeding only from me." He took his finger nail and sliced his neck.
The smell of his blood had me in a frenzy. I quickly put my lips to the trail of blood that ran down his neck. I licked at it and he moaned. His breathe fastening an I smirked. Slowly I sucked at the open wound. Pleasure rushed through me, I could tell my mate was aroused through the bond.
Our bond had become stronger. We could feel each other's emotions but couldn't talk mentally with one another. We could not mind link one another until we marked each other setting our claim to each other.
When mates mark each other it is very intimate. It usually happened during sex. Both would bite into each other an drink each other's blood at the same time. Reciting the love and passion and acceptance for one another. Asking from the Goddess to bless them with happiness, loyalty, trust, and love.
When I was full I locked the wound for it to heal. I kissed where I had drank from an pulled back. Zack was breathing very fast, his chest rising then falling. I forced him to look me in my eyes.
"Your turn." I whispered.
Not a second later my mate bite into my neck.
****listen to the song Burnin' It Down by Jason Aldean**** love that song*** has nothing to do with the story just think you readers should listen to it!!!**** enjoy the rest of this chap!***
We arrived at beautiful fancy restaurant. A beautiful gold carpet led to the door. Zack led me inside my hand holding into his forearm. I felt nervous to be eating in such a high society place. When we finally entered I took a look at my surroundings.
White flowers placed on the tables for center pieces. Big chandeliers using candles to light up the restaurant. This restaurant had to be expensive.
A gorgeous red head made her way over to us. "Welcome to Exquisitely Beautiful. May I have the name for your table?"
"Did you book us a spot?" I mumbled into my mates ear.
He smiled a charming smile, "We don't need to book a spot. My name is Zack. I'm the owner."
"Oh I'm so sorry I didn't recognize you. Please follow me." The red head smiled apologetically an led us to a private room.
The walls were painted a soft gold with dark brown hardwood floors. A soft sofa placed in the middle of the room against the wall. Gold curtains hung from the ceiling draping like ocean waves. We took a seat an I sat close to my mate.
The red head made a flirty smile at him. "What can I get you to drink?"
Zack never met her eyes, "I'd like a red whine spiked for the both of us."
"Okay I'll get the wine while you look over the menu." She flipped her hair over her shoulder.
"No need. This is my restaurant I know the menu." He sighed bored.
"Zack what's the best here?" I whispered.
"I'll take care of it little mate." He smiled lovingly at me. He turned to the red head her smile flirty an eyes batting I gripped his hand an squeezed hard. "We will take the loquacious Italian pasta."
"Any extra sides?" She nibbled at her bottom lip trying to look sexy.
"No but we will take a cheesecake after. Have someone help you bring the small chocolate fountain. Spike it as well. With fresh strawberries." My mate kept his eyes on me not paying any attention to the waitress who kept flirting with him.
"Anything else?" She played with her pen biting on the tip.
"Yes actually there is. Stop trying to flirt with him." I hissed. I couldn't stand the bitch flirting with him right in front of me. Her eyes went wide an I pulled Zack's lips to mine.
He froze for a minute then kissed me back, hungrily. His hand lifted to be placed on the side of my neck an behind my ear. His tongue tracing my bottom lip asking permission to enter. I granted his request, our lips fighting to take control.
I pulled back to breathe. A smile spreading across my face to see the red head stomping away with a mad frown. Zack glared at me not happy.
"You didn't have to do that." He growled through clenched teeth.
"Yes I did. She needed to know your mine." I snapped.
He rolled his eyes at me, "What you said sent the message."
I snarled, "whatever."
A different waiter brung our food an we are silently. Guilt build up inside me. I didn't mean to ruin mine an Zack's date.
"I'm sorry." I sighed.
"It's okay. I probably would have done the same thing you did if it would have been a male doing that."
