Chapter 23
Kayden’s POV
Waking up to snow falling onto Kat’s face made me realise that she was my life; her perfect high cheek bones that begun turning a pinkish colour due to the snow making her cold; to her body that was holding our child, growing my son or daughter and I would never leave this girl, not just because she was holding my child but because I wanted her way before that.
When she walked into the mansion all those months ago to when we went and seen her mother and told her that she would be spending Christmas away this year for her mother’s protection and also for me to be able to protect Kat with everything that I had.
“Do I have something on my face?” I flinched as her eyes were now focused on mine; with her brows furrowing, I smirked at this and just planted a kiss on my girlfriend forever and always.
“Babe how much do you love me?” Her question froze me, I opened my mouth but nothing came out and I couldn’t believe she would ask a question, don’t I show my affection for her every waking minute?
“Why do you ask?” I said in a gentle tone, “I…I just don’t want you wasting time on me just because I’m carrying your child, I’ll be fat soon and we won’t be able to have our usual fun and I’ll look hideous, but I don’t mind you going off…” Tears were rolling down her cheeks as she said the rest “I don’t want to be a burden to you and weigh down your opportunities with girls who are useful and better looking, I know I’m not as pretty as those other girls and that I’m not your type but…..” I couldn’t let her go on, so when I smashed my lips against hers I could not believe what she saying, was this the hormones or her worrying that I would ditch her.
“Kat I am not going anywhere, you’re supposed to get fat you’re pregnant and I will always love you, you’re the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes on, stop being silly, you’re not worthless and I don’t care if we can’t have our usual fun because I know it’s for the best, for our child and I will not let you look after my son or daughter on your own, I love you and I’ll always love you.” I kissed her cheeks and lips and placed a longing kiss on her forehead.
“You’re not going anywhere any time soon, well that’s if you want to be with me for ever” I looked at her as I said this and without a doubt she wrapped her arms around me “I will always love you no matter what, just please don’t leave me”
“Never” I said as we embraced in a longing kiss before we started to hear squealing coming from the opposite side of us.
Megan’s POV
I awoke to the feeling that we were being followed but I dismissed it when I saw my sister cuddling with Reid and I couldn’t help but jump and scream “Demetria!” I hopped into her open arms and couldn’t help but start crying as I believed she was dead.
Kat and Kayden soon joined our embrace and Reid gave a short but apologetic apology to Kat for his foul language to her and his actions.
This did not stop me from feeling the presence and when Lakkita and Roman joined me and whispered “Someone is watching from behind” I nodded but before I could do anything Kat bent down and retrieved her throwing knife from her boot and in a blink of an eye threw it through the air……Arggghhhh.
A boy no older than 16 dropped to the ground from above with the knife protruding from his shoulder, what surprised me was that Kat knew when none of the others, because she shouldn’t be able to.
“Who are you?” I heard Roman as he approached the boy who flinched but he reassured him that no harm would come to him as long as he answered our questions. He obliged and told us that he was also being hunted the mercenaries due to him being a half breed. “Impossible!” Demetria roared as she knew it wasn’t possible. “Such things don’t exist”
I looked at her and then it clicked. “Dem” I said looking at her “He is one, and so is our Kat here”
My eyes fell on the boy. “You knew didn’t you?” He nodded in agreement, “I sensed her but I didn’t think she was old enough to sense me” I stood listening but I had to question one thing, “How old are you?” I sat down now and patted down the tree stump for him to sit in which he did and then the others gathered round.
“I’m 1,890 years old but I stopped aging when I was turned at 16, I was turned into one of the fallen like you guys but I was bitten like you Kat, by a vampire and when I woke from my transition I was banished and was almost caught by those creatures but I managed to find my way to you guys”
Kat was soon right in front of him, he flinched back and I knew I should step in but I didn’t know what to do. “I don’t care if you’re like me or not, you have been spying on us for 3 days straight and I know you have over heard all of our conversations, why didn’t you come to us straight away instead of lingering and hiding” She spat.
“Don’t think you’re stronger than me Kat, I’m older” As he said this he grabbed Kat by her neck and had her against a tree, but I knew he would be stronger but I was shocked…. Kat then grabbed his arm that was closing her wind pipe and bent it in an odd way, sending a crack through the woods, “You have a lot to learn then, you may be older but I am definitely stronger, try anything like this again and I will stab you right through your heart and rip it out” Her venomous tone made even me shiver.
She ripped out the blade and he soon gasped as he slumped against the tree trunk and fixed himself up.
Kat’s POV
That boy was worthless but he had done a good job of trying to shake her up until she turned the tables around. Kayden had told her that he would kill him if he ever laid as much as a finger on her but she reassured him that he could not hurt her.
“I love you Kayden, so much” I whispered into his ear as we were lying in our tent that we had set up as a storm was approaching our camp site.
When the storm hit the temperature dropped immediately leaving me shuddering whilst Kayden laid another blanket on top of me. “Kayden have it back you need to stay warm” I went to take of the blanket off but he stopped me “I’m fine”.
I moved over and he looked puzzled at my action, “Get in”, “Kat I don’t want to squish you or the baby” His face was full of concern but I knew it was because he thought he might do something wrong which could hurt me or the baby. “Kay, it’s fine come cuddle up to me, well that’s if you want to cuddle and then maybe snuggle” He was thinking about it, “Oh, it’s okay if you don’t want to” I said actually feeling a bit sad by his quietness.
“Off course I want too” with that he was next to me; wrapping his arms around me carefully and gently and all I could think was ‘I’m not an invalid’ but it made him feel calm about cuddling so I thought a kiss goodnight would do and with that our tongues danced in perfect harmony until I wanted to taste his mouth in which he gladly allowed my entrance. As soon as I entered his mouth I was hit by his seducing aroma and his sweet saliva washed over my hungry tongue; my tongue ventured further until a gag escaped his lips, I retreated but only slightly as I tasted every inch of his opening, we fell asleep in each other’s arms as our child was growing every day.
“Merry Christmas Kat” He whispered as I gave him a quick peck on the lips and whispered “Merry Christmas Kay”
