Chapter 13: Unidentified feelings

Iris's POV

"What have you come here for? Solace? Haven't you heard that the haunted castle is not made for weaklings? Your worse mistake is to choose this place for refuge, even if the entire pack is after you, coming here is your worse mistake because I will suck your blood off you."

Are you going to suck my blood?"

"Yes, I will suck it, till there is no blood left in your blood vessels." 

"Are you a vampire?" 

'Call me whatever you want, all I know is that, I will suck your blood"

"Do you think my blood will be nice?" 

"Of course, it smells nice." The light came up all of a sudden and his face meet mine, he wasn't fast to grab the hood to cover his face

"Yuk!" I yelled turned away from him, his face is disgusting, and I watch him sighed in frustration. 

"You look disgusting." I couldn't help but murmur. 

"It doesn't matter, what you think of me, your blood is all I wanted."

"Perfect then, you could have them, since it's not going to disgust you, and maybe, my blood in your vein will make you handsome, at least, it will be for a noble deal, the blood of Iris could set you free." I said not able to look at him, in one swift move, he pulled me closer to himself, his claws elongated and went right into my throat, my back hit the wall, I watch his eyes grow more bloody and his elongated fangs blush my neck, he is animalistic. 

He is a vampire, a monster, anything but not something nice, he is horrible and I just walked into the lion's den, he screamed in agonizing pain as he pulled for me, and I fall to the couch. 

"Ouch!" I screamed. As if that wasn't enough, the swooshing sound, I realized this monster just throw me out of his door, I am standing at the entrance with him about to shut the door. 

I felt hopeless, and for that very few minutes my feet gave me away, I fall on the same knees with bruises and thought that my neck is bleeding, slowly my eyes shut. 

"Blood shit!" I could hear someone swear and then footsteps before I finally blank out. 

Rupert's POV

"Blood shit!" I could hear myself curse for the first time in years all because of this woman appearing in my castle unannounced, I wanted to throw myself on her, devour her but I wonder why she smell nice but yet I couldn't suck her blood and now she had to pass out. 

I needed to revive her, if not, my Father will get mad, he will not think twice than to lock me in the dungeon. 

In panic I reach my friend, Mason, who is my best friend and the pack healer, it's late, I just hope he could connect to my mind link. 

"What is it, hooligan?" That was Mason's voice, my best friend. 

"Can you please come over, I need you to do something very important for me." 

"Something like?" He asked. 

"I am sick, so I need treatment." 

"Are you sick of blood?" 

"Mason!!!" I yelled in frustration, I could hear him titter and then he disconnected, slowly I make my way back to the brown-haired woman lying on the couch, where I had placed her gently, my gaze hadn't left her body, I was practically watching her, with interest and this is making me nervous, no woman had ever got a second glance from me, I have devoured all she-wolves, ended up killing them but she is different, her scent is contagious, I try to reek my brain, to see where I have met her, for the longest time, I have to try to avoid this kind of creature but it seems this one is more deadly, I need to distract myself, I found out that Mason is still not here, I decided to connect to him again, I was about to connect to the mind link with Mason again when the door open. 

"Can you stop being an asshole and let me think?" Mason said as he pushed the door to my castle, we are both friends since childhood and he is the only one, that didn't run away from me after my curse. 

"If you had arrived earlier everything would..."

"Rupert, what did you do?" He yelled in frustration as he rushed to the lady on the couch, that I have no idea what her name is. 

"I did nothing." I said. 

"Really and your fangs stain with blood?" He said turning back to the girl on the couch, I used my tongue to lick off the blood from my teeth, it was tasty, yet different. 

"Is she fine?" I asked, after some time, that Mason seem to be doing something for the longest time and not saying a word to me. 

"What happened?" He questions. 

"Didn't I just tell you that I don't know?" I Seethed, he raised his eyes looking at me suspiciously. "Gracious goodness, I didn't do anything to her, she showed up here unannounced, I bet she is running away from some monster and ended up in yet another monster's hand, Mason look at me."

"Yes, I am a monster."

"Can you stop saying rubbish and help me with my first aid bag?" Slowly I made my way to the bag and get it for him, everyone knows me to be a monster, but they all rejected me, when I become a monster, my brother think I am evil and my father, thinks I am only good enough for war, because I bring him victory in every war, my mate left me because I am a monster, saying I am too ugly to be her mate and the town talk about me because I devour their she-wolves, and someone fit to be lock in the abyss with the key throw away forever yet Mason, is the only one not scared of the monster me, the only one that didn't leave me, the one that love me even after the moon goddess as given me this eternal punishment for my sins. 

He wanted to raise her gown but then I found myself holding his hand. 

"What is it?" Mason asked. 

"You are not going to expose her thighs to your eyes, are you?" He looks at me. 

"Are you been possessive?" He asked, I turned my gaze, as the flash of the last time, I had acted that way came into my head, that was when I was still with my mate, my mate that rejected me because of my scary face. 

"Of course, not, just fixed it." My voice shakes, as I try to act normal, but it was not working, then his hand moved to her corset, and in a flash, I was right beside him bringing his hand to a halt. 

"I will do it and do you even need to take off her corset?" 

"Idiot, I need to feel her tummy." Mason said in frustration, I sighed then pushed my hand under her gown, and my hand burned, I felt electrocuted, I could feel my body burned up and as I move up, I could feel something soft, that was her bosom, bloody shit why is the hook in front of her chest, my hands press her soft bosom before I finally take it off, I breath out in relieved, as soon as I unhooked her corset. 

There is a lot of tension in my body, Mason look at me, and I wondered what he was looking at. 

"What is it?" My coarse voice came out more of a whisper since I was trying to compose myself. He look away from me and turned his gaze back to her. 

"She is tense." It was my turn to look at him lost, this time he move her gown upward, her legs were bruised, scars everywhere, she must have crawled up here, and her clothes are soaked in mud as a result of the rain. 

"Rupert look." He points to something on her thighs, my eyes bulge seeing the mark.
