Change Of Species

Chapter 3

**Mackenzea's POV**

He was so sweet to me. I cared about him a lot and I felt bad about causing a fight between him and Emma. But, there wasn't anything I could do about it. I sighed softly and watched him as he ate. He had a monster appetite. No, he did literally! He finished eating and began to clean up the mess. "Look, Zach, I'm really sorry about Emma. I didn't mean to start a fight." He smiled at me and hugged me gently. "I told you not to worry about it. She will be fine. She just needs to calm down and realize that it's my house and I can do whatever I want. She just thinks that since she lives here too, that she can tell me what to do. Which she can't." I smiled a little and kissed him gently. He made my heart beat even though it had stopped a long time ago.

He gently stroked my face while staring into my eyes. I felt completely at ease.He made me feel really safe. He picked me up and carried me out into the woods. Night had fallen, and the stars had blanketed the sky. It was very romantic and peaceful. He stared at me with those yellow-gold eyes that made my knees weak. "I have waited my entire life to find someone like you. I know we haven't known each other for long, but I'm in love with you." I wasn't sure what to say. We had only known each other for a few days. But, I felt like I had known him my entire life. I smiled at him and kissed him gently."I feel as if I am falling for you too. I am so glad we met each other." He kissed me deeply and continued to romance me until the sun came up.

**Zach's POV**

I stretched slowly, feeling the soft bed covers caress the palms of my hands. I blinked and opened my eyes quickly. I glanced around, afraid of what I might see. Laying next to me was Zea, sleeping peacefully. I sighed in relief and relaxed. I turned my head to the left and flinched in pain. My neck was killng me. I stood up and walked to the bathroom. I looked at my neck in the mirror and there were two vampire bite marks staring back at me. She had bitten me when we were making love. But, why? I heard a soft noise coming from my bedroom. Zea was wide awake and looking for me. "What's wrong, Zach? Are you okay?" I sighed loudly and stayed leaning against the doorway. "You bit me, why?" She looked away from me, obviously upset by my accusation. "Zea, Why did you do it? I've protected you and healed you. So why would you bite me?"

She didn't answer me. She would barely even look at me. "I'm sorry, Zach. I don't know what I was thinking. I only bit you because I didn't want to loose you. So, I marked you as mine by biting you. I'm sorry." Tears ran down her face. I walked over to her and held her in my arms. "It's okay, sweetie.I understand. I'm sorry that I yelled at you. Please stop crying." I gently rubbed her back until she calmed down enough to stop. She hugged me and kissed me gently. It was the most perfect day ever.
