Rose petals in the ashes

Chapter thirty nine:

~Bennett's point of view~

The door opened again, I was so weak I couldn't even keep my eyes open. Foosteps approached but they weren't female, not like Rosemarie's had been the minute before. I attempted to feebly imagine who it could be: Jeremy? Dimitri? Jared? The man came to sit at my bedside. He sat down in a chair and pulled it up so it was in front of me. After that he was silent. A minute passed before he spoke. "I love her" he confessed "And I know you do too. Plus I know she'll be heartbroken if you die leaving her a single mother with two kids that'll be two years old within six months. I can't let you die for that reason Bennett. Now you have a choice, either I change you against your will and you forever have an unwanted bond with me where you can see EVERYTHING I do in the day or you can let Rosemarie change you and you'll see exactly what you do everyday because of your mates bond. Your choice" I knew who the man was now and I was willing to bet any money that the man sat before me was Dimitri.

I forced my eyes to open, so I could give him eye contact. He had his head in his hands and he looked like he hadn't slept properly in days. "Go and get Rosemarie" I said, coughing after I'd finished. He gave me a weak smile, patted me on the shoulder and left, presumably to get my beautiful vampire wife. She came in seconds later, smiling like the cat who'd gotten the cream. She sat down where Dimitri had and looked down on me. "You'll still be a werewolf you know?" she spoke as she brought my wrist to her lips. I nodded. I watched as she penetrated my wrist with her elongated fangs, it hurt for a second but then the saliva in Rose's bite got to me and it was pure pleasure, this saliva was released so the person you turned wasn't in pain. I knew I was probably smiling like an idiot. Rosemarie giggled softly as she watched me before draining me to the point of near death. She released my wrist from her fangs and ran her tongue along it so it would heal. She then brought her own wrist to her lips, sank her fangs into it and brought it to my lips. "Drink!" she demanded. I smiled, brought my hands up from my sides and held her dainty wrist closer to my face, with all the energy I had left I drank from her wrist until she forced me to stop. I licked my lips. Her blood tasted like sweets and chocolate. That was very odd...

She brought me into her arms so my back was to her chest. She carressed my hair lightly as I embraced the warmth of her. I felt my eyes drowsily close. Suddenly Rosemarie's hands were on my neck and in a movement to swift for human eyes she snapped it with an eerie click. The last thing I saw before I died was my wife looking down at me with a painfully remorseful look at what she'd done.
