Sasha Swift
Chapter 11 The Gala Part 2

Zane

I have worked for Aquarius for a whole week and it is the absolute worst. I haven't killed a single person. Instead, I'm stuck dealing with the repercussions of others' killings. If someone missed their mark I had to replace them and bring them back to the dungeon where someone else killed them. I had to go and locate the friends and family of those we killed and make sure they weren't planning revenge. I was doing paperwork and spying. I hate it.

I'm doing so much grunt work it's interfering with my real plans. Still getting back at Aquarius. Part of my plan is set in motion but I need more. I need to know who gave Aquarius the orders to go after Swift's family. Was it his idea or an order from the Royal Council? Do they know what she is?

I have done some snooping on Sasha and know she was after a scum bag named Cylus. I would kill him myself but I didn't want to disrupt her plans. After replaceing out what Aquarius told me I knew I had to warn her to stay away from the gala. If Aquarius ever caught her he would kill her or worse kidnap her and try to make her his.

Regardless of how we left things I still care about her. I promised myself not to let her get hurt. But I was the one who hurt her. I didn't answer her when she asked if I had feelings for her. When she asked if I regretted it I wanted to shout out no! Never! But instead, I let her walk away.

I'm not in the mood for this gala. I don't want to party. I want to sulk. But I know I had to show up just in case Sasha didn't listen to my warning. She wants revenge but I want to keep her safe. If my plan goes right I'll get both our revenge. I just need her to be patient.

I wear an all-black suit to the gala with silver cufflinks. Walking over to the table Aquarius is at I see he has a human woman on his lap and is sucking her wrist. I sit down beside him. "Having dessert already, I see?"

"Tonight is a special night so I deserve a treat. Taste Zane, she's a virgin, extra sweet." He pulls her arm closer to me. But I push her arm away. He compelled a human to be his date and meal, how desperate.

"I think I'll replace my own meal thanks."

"More for me." He grins and bites into her harder causing her to wince. Most of the humans here have been hypnotized using compulsion. They won't fight back.

I drink my whiskey and look around the room. Everyone seems coupled up and I'm here alone. Suddenly a couple moves and I can see the bar, it's Sasha. She's in a beautiful red gown. Her hair is up with a beautiful shiny accessory holding it up. She turns her back to me and I see she's not alone. Another vampire is beside her.

I get up from the table abruptly. I hear Aquarius asking me a question but I ignore him. I'm furious. The loser is holding her hand how dare he! Sasha is mine!

Before they reach the stairs I growl and Sasha turns around. Her bright green eyes look surprised to see me. The vampire beside her looks confused as he looks me up and down.

"Umm, do you know him?" He stupidly asks and I grab him by his collar yanking him towards me.

"Leave. Now." I threaten. My fangs elongate and my eyes are surely red. The young vampire is shaking as I let him go and he runs away.

Sasha arches her perfect eyebrow at me. "Really Zane was that necessary?"

"Yes, you're mine!" I growl and grab her arm. I start pulling Sasha up the stairs away from lingering eyes. It's not safe here.

We walk upstairs together and go to a guest room at the end of the hall. I know this room is soundproof so we can finally talk in the open. Once inside I shut and lock the door. Sasha stands with her hands on her hips.

"How dare you? I'm, not yours! You have no right! You made it perfectly clear I mean nothing to you!" She yells and I push her up against the door pressing my body to hers.

"You are mine. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you." I confess. My hand trails up her leg and she shivers under my touch. I can smell her arousal already.

"Why did you tell me not to come?" She asks and she looks upset so I start kissing along her collarbone.

"Because it's not safe. Also, Aquarius hired me back, and I have been planning my revenge from the inside." I whisper earning a shove from Sasha.

She's shocked but also furious. "You're working for him? What the hell Zane!" She yells.

I get closer to her and grab her waist. "If it means keeping you safe then yes I will. That's why I need you to leave now."

"I'm not leaving without you." She tries to pull away but I hold her tight.

"You're so stubborn but that also just makes you harder to resist." I smash my lips onto hers shoving my tongue in her mouth. She kisses me back just as hard. I lift her and put her on the bed. Her legs wrap around my waist. Then her hands run through my hair as she kisses me.

I lift her dress and put my hands into her panties rubbing her throbbing wet core. I slide my pants and boxers off. I kiss her leg as I hold it up taking her lacy thong off. Our lips meet again as I thrust inside her.

"Zane!" Her moans fill the room.

"Sasha" I moan as I keep thrusting into her. She scratches my back digging her nails in and turning me on more.

She grabs my face and looks me in the eyes. I know what she wants. I lean down kissing and nipping at her neck. She moans more. "Zane please." She begs.

I shouldn't bite her. Her blood is so addicting species have wiped each other out just for a taste. But I can't control it. My lust for her blood takes over. She's my favorite drug, I'm addicted already.

I bite into her neck sucking her blood. She moans in pleasure. I thrust into her harder. She claws at my back and tightens her legs around me more. I suck harder, I can't stop. I don't want to stop. She moans while I keep sucking her blood. It's just too good.

I try to listen for Sasha's heartbeat but I can't hear it. I stop thrusting and let go of her neck. Blood trickles down my chin. I look down. She's pale white.

What have I done?

I start to shake her, but nothing. I give her CPR. Nothing. Pulling my pants back on I pace the room pulling at my hair. How could I be so dumb? I killed her. She trusted me to stop and I kept going. I couldn't control myself. Her blood was too much!

Fucking fairy blood!

I lay down beside her and lay my head on her chest. I feel the tears streaming down my face. This is the first time I've cried as a vampire. All I wanted to do was protect her but it seemed I was right. She only needed protection from me.

"I'm so sorry Sasha. This is my fault. I am so selfish. I never got to tell you how I felt because I pushed you away." I cry.

I sit up and watch her for at least thirty minutes hoping it's all a nightmare. I hoped she would open her eyes any second and tell me it was all a joke, but It wasn't. So I stand up and put on the rest of my suit. Wiping away my tears I get angry.

"I have to do this..... I have to finish this for you, Sasha. I'm so sorry."

I walk out of the room buttoning my cuffs. I walk over to the guard down the hall and rip out his heart, Just the first of many. He drops down and falls to ashes. I walk down the stairs. There are two guards on each side of me.

"Hey, assholes come here." They walk up to me growling. I rip both their hearts out and they fall to the floor turning to ashes.

A lady notices and screams. I rip her heart out and the fat human with her runs away terrified. I dart towards Aquarius. He hasn't even looked up yet too preoccupied with the girl on his lap. A loud boom echoes through the room. I look at my watch and see it's 10 pm right on time.

The front door flies open. Vampires and werewolves flood in. They nod to me and then began ripping apart the guards and the guests who fight back. I keep making my way toward Aquarius he's finally noticed the carnage around him and is hiding behind his security guards. Five surround me in a circle.

"This should be fun." I smile.
