Blood Bound - Chapter 123

>>Nena

I told the situation to the three boys in college the next day.

I left Quincy’s room after he told me to stay away from him and went to text the boys but noticed my phone was filled with notifications and most of them were messages from my three ‘fake boyfriends.’ I texted them back to let them know I was okay and after meeting with them today, I told them all that happened.

They all looked at each other and then back at me.

“Well, I don’t know what to say here.” Chris spoke first.

“Have we moved forward or backward?” Nathan frowned.

“I’d say a bit of both.” Sam folded his arms and sighed, “The good thing is we have all the information so we can plan forward.”

“The festival starts in three days.” Nathan looked at the boys.

“What can we do in three days?” Chris looked at Sam

And Sam looked back at Chris, “I guess it’s time for Nena to hug Nathan.” He then looked at Nathan and then they all looked at me.

“It’s time for that?” I asked a little excitedly and they all nodded.

“It’s time for that,” They all grinned at me.

I went home late at night and purposely passed by Quincy’s room. I didn’t stop by it or knock at his door. I just had to make sure the scent would go to him. So, I once passed by it when I went to the second open corridor and I passed by it again when I was making my way back to the kitchen.

I walked past slowly trying to hear something but since I had to be nonchalant about it, I passed by and went to the kitchen and pretended I was going to cook something.

I opened the upper cabinet and wondered,

Was that enough? Did he smell me? He’s a vampire so he must be sensitive to this smell. I vaguely remember him always telling my sister to shower when she came home here since she always hung out with his werewolf friend.

I was still in the middle of my thoughts when I suddenly felt a huge presence right behind me that made me tense up.

“Nena…” Quincy’s voice was heavy and he probably used his powers to appear right behind me because I clearly didn’t hear anything! He grabbed my shoulders from the back and turned me around with a jerk, “You smell like a mutt.” His eyes glowed red for a moment.

To be very honest, it did scare me a little but I was ready for this. I stuck to Nathan for hours to get his werewolf scent all over me!

“Why do you care?” I ignored him, “You told me to stay away from you.” I tried to move away but he held me in his place. I pretended to be a little angry too and tried to get him off me, “What is wrong with you? You told me to stay away so move!” I slapped his hands away and was about to walk away when he grabbed my waist and picked me up.

Then he roughly sat me down on the kitchen shelf which was right behind me and I’m not gonna lie, that turned me on a little. Especially the way he was looking at me.

He had such a serious expression on his face but that just made him look more handsome. If I didn’t have to control myself I would kiss those beautiful lips right here and now!

“Why didn’t you shower?” He asked.

I gulped, “Why do you care? You want me to stay away from you. So it doesn’t matter.”

“You still smell like a mutt.” He gritted his teeth, “And I hate that scent.”

Such a typical thing for a vampire to say. He says that even though his own cousin is a half werewolf! But I guess since they’re family he makes that an exception.

“Is that all that matters to you?” I glared at him, “I confessed to you and you hate me in return.” I placed my feet on his chest and his gaze immediately went to my bare feet on his shirt, then I created some distance between us.

“You broke my trust.” He looked back at me again, “I told you never to give me your blood.”

“There wasn’t any in the house!” I got a little angry even though I was lying. I threw the blood bag in the freezer away before I gave him my blood in the glass goblet so that he wouldn’t catch onto my lie, “What was I supposed to do?! You looked so weak, I had to do something!” I do feel bad for lying but that was my only chance and the only way where he would notice me more.

I know he cares for me a lot but it’s not enough.

I may be acting like a toxic person right now but I’m ready to go to any length to get him to me.

“That shouldn’t be possible, I always keep an emergency stash.” His voice was a bit calmer now.

“Well, if there was one, I couldn’t find it.” I folded my arms and he took his hands off my waist and placed it on either side of my hips on the shelf.

“You should have looked harder.” He sighed as he looked away.

I pushed him further back with my feet and he looked down at my legs. Since I was wearing shorts, he got a clear and nice view of my long and lovely legs, “Look for it yourself then,” I got off the shelf, “And if you find any, only then you have the right to be angry at me.”

“I have the right now too.”

“No you don’t,” I glared at him, “Would you leave me alone if I was in a bad condition?”

“…”

“I had no idea what was wrong with you and I panicked.” I began to move away.

“Where are you going?” He demanded an answer.

“Away from you,” I glanced back at him, “Just like you want me too.” My words softened his expressions and for a brief moment I saw some regret too but then I turned my head forwards and walked out.

Quincy didn’t say anything at all and I quietly went to my room to sleep.

***

The next morning, I went down and made coffee for Quincy after having breakfast but didn’t take it to his study. Instead I just left it outside the room, knocked on his door and walked away.

I was at the end of the corridor when he opened the door and saw me but didn’t say anything.
