Vangsvere Reckoning

Chapter 12: Would You Shut Up?

He held on tighter and I watched as Kai stood and stared down at Abe, "Release your hold on her." He said low and threateningly.

Abe stared at me and then Kai, slowly letting go and backing up, "I didn't mean any disrespect, she needs to see your witch." He said gesturing to me.

Kai stared down at me, his eyes running over my face, a mental war going on his head, then he let go of my wrist. As cheesy as it sounds, when he let go, all the light seemed to go with him.

Crap.

'I told you so Ace, you can't fight destiny.'

But, but I belong with...with...

'Me? Anne, you're a great girl, killer body, but there's nothing more than a sexual interest between us. Enjoy a bit of love, you know, before I hunt you down.'

Ah such a romantic.

I stared at Abe and gave Kai a small smile before going inside with Abe.

We headed up the stairs and to a room with a massive dream catcher hanging from it, at the end was rabbit foots and small wishbones.

He gave the door a knock and we waited before it was opened.

The witch stared us over and smirked at me, "the girl shows, finally." She said gesturing for me to come in.

I headed inside with Abe and she shut the door behind her.

Her eyes moved over Abe, "Sit." She said pointing to the chair.

He sat down and she pointed to me, "Lay there." She gestured to the high raised bench.

I laid down on it and she walked over rubbing her fingers at the sides of my temples. The scent of lavender calming me.

"I noticed him in you since the day you arrived. Witches, we see these things. I'm surprised you hadn't come sooner. He gave you much distress." She commented.

I stayed quiet.

'She won't get rid of me, I'm not leaving Anne. You're stuck with me.' 

She stared down at me and gave me a small frown, "He speaks now." She said softly.

I gave a nod, "Let's just do this." I said watching her nod.

"One more." The witch said to my tired and exhausted mind.

Fucking hell.

Gripping the bench I shut my eyes tight, bracing for the pain.

Her words stuck in the air, her hands on my temple, she was attempting to pull him but as he said, he's really stuck in there.

'It'll only hurt you to keep trying.'

As she gave the last word, I felt the pull, the claws that dug into my mind. The pain was excruciating and heavy.

A bang came to the door, "Where is she?!" Kai's voice was heavy and worried on the other side.

"I've almost got him Anne darling, allow me. Relax." She said calmly.

I let out a shaky breath and opened my eyes watching the door shake, "Nichami! Open this door! Give me her! Give me her!" He shouted furiously.

'Oh you are definitely his mate.'

Nichami pressed her fingers to my temple and shouted the spell loudly.

The pain that came after was so draining.

But I felt it, the once claustrophobic mind was cleared, free of him.

Michael was gone.

Michael....

I shut my eyes and let my body fade to a heavy sleep of exhaustion.

KAIS POV:

The door opened and I hurried into the room, Shiko's crying and anger settled in my mind as he watched her lay on her side asleep.

I walked over running hand up her leg and scooping her into my arms.

"She had the enemy in her mind. She must rest for a day." Nichami said softly.

Staring down at Anne, I couldn't silence Shiko's cry for her.

Going out the room, I gave the man Abe a scowl before taking her to my room.

Shutting the door behind me, I placed her in my bed and although I love Imira, Shiko loved Anne.

Giving in, I let him take form and silenced myself to his mind. Settling in the background and watching him slowly move toward her.

He whimpered and sniffed her for a while, enjoying her scent before licking her arm and then going onto the bed laying beside her.

'My mate, she smells so good. She makes me so happy Kai.' He took another sniff of her hair, she did smell good.

I know you love her, I know.

'I want her, change her. Can we change her?' He asked me desperately.

Unlike humans were we change them to wolves, she can't be changed. She's a vampire Shiko, she'll never have a wolf.

'Never?'

Never.

He cried softly and curled deeper into her.

Imira has a Wolf.

'I don't like Toka.' He sounded annoyed.

Yeah, Toka bothers me too.

But Imira is strong, she's...beautiful.

She's not a vampire.

Not a blood bag.

'She's still my mate.' He said stubbornly.

Sometimes fate is wrong.

'It is never wrong.'

Yes, it is.
