Slave To The Darkness - Chapter 291
“YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO ME!!!” I have done everything that I can to keep your company going.” Claudia slams her hands on Cedric’s desk.
Adam starts to walk up but stops when Cedric raises his hand. Cedric glares into Claudia’s eyes. “I am letting you go. I never want to see your face here again. I have already taken your access card out of the system, sent an email out about your termination, and found a suitable replacement. That person has already increased sales. So if you come back, I will have security threw you out. Liliana will not be able to see you for a while since you tried fuċkɨnġ me over. I will not allow her to be negatively influenced by you.” He reached down and patted Yuki on the head, causing her to whimper.
“No, why are you cutting me off like this? I thought that you wouldn’t care what I was doing as long as you made money. So you are banning me from here and banning me from seeing your bonded partner?!” Claudia pulls out a dagger and throws it at Cedric.
Cedric catches the dagger in between his fingers and lays it on the desk. “You should know that type of trick won’t work on me and that I can’t die. GET OUT NOW!” Cedric uses his magic, pushes her into the elevator and pushes the buŧŧon to go down all the way. “So now that the pest is out of the way let’s get down to the real business. Congratulations Sam, you are the new chairwoman of my company. I have already introduced you in the email that I sent out, and I asked that everyone give their full cooperation or else they will be terminated.”
Sam looks at Cedric in shock but doesn’t say what is on her mind. “Thank you, Sir. I will not let you down. I have been switching positions of some people in the system. Furthermore, I will be sending them emails to get them where they need to be, with your signature at the bottom of each page. Do you want to see those before I send them off?”
“I like how calm and collected you are after witnessing that. You do not need to show me the replacement of any team members, but Sophia stays working for you.” Cedric got up and helped Yuki get up off the floor. “As you saw, I can use magic, so do not think to double-cross me or turn me into the hunters. Do you understand me?”
“Sir, with all respect, I would never think about doing that. I want to live a long life, and to do that; I need to stay in your good books. I would not send Sophia anywhere else. She knows the ins and outs of this place. I understand you perfectly clear. Are you injured from the knife that was thrown at you?”
Yuki got up off the ground with Cedric helping her. She looked at the finger and licked the blood that dripped down and sealed the cuts. “Quite tasty as always, love.”
“It didn’t hurt, and now I don’t need to worry about such a small cut. We will be taking our leave now.” Cedric got up, placed his arm around Yuki’s waist, and walked to the door. “Have fun, Sophia and Sam; make sure to make me some money.”
“Yes, of course, Sir!” Sophia walked them to the elevator. “Thank you, my King and Queen. I will watch over this place as you have requested. If there is anything else that you need from me, please let me know.” Sophia looked back at Sam and sighed.
Cedric looked at Sophia, then at Sam. “Hmmmmm, your mate?” He states this as a slight question.
” I do believe so. Sam’s scent has been driving me wild since she came up to the office the first time, and now that I will be working beside her, my thirst is hitting me more. Do you think I should discuss it with her?” Sophia looks at Yuki,
Yuki tilts her head and closes her eyes. She could see that they were tried together. “Yes, go ahead but explain slowly. You do not want to scare her away.”
“I will do that then. Be safe, my King and Queen.” Sophia bows to them, then walks back to the door and disappears into the office.
“Being near that one that your destined partner is a blessing and a curse. You feel the pull and need to form the bond, or else you feel like you might go insane. Thankfully with Naomi, she is my turned vampire so that she won’t suffer as much, and if she does, she can come to me, and I will feed her my poisonous blood.”
“Your blood is not poisonous. Okay, well, maybe it is to others, but Cedric’s is far worse than yours. If it was not for the fact that your blood is in my system, he could’ve killed me.” Naomi looks over at Adam as he was standing next to her. “Before you ask. I feel that pull towards you.”
Clearing his throat, Adam looks down at Naomi and then up at the other two. “If that is how you feel, then I think we shall try to make the bond stronger, but I still don’t know for one hundred percent sure if it is you or Lyla that I am supposed to be with. I hope that this will not hurt you.”
Naomi shakes her head. “It is a confusing time. I cannot make that choice for you, but if I were to make a choice, I would choose myself, and that is not fair to Lyla, but please spend time with me until she comes back.”
Yuki sighed and relaxed in Cedric’s embrace from behind, only for the elevator doors to open up. “Let’s go home then, everyone.” She stepped out and walked towards the doors slightly behind Cedric just in case Claudia was still lurking about.
Cedric stepped back a step and placed his hand on the small of her back without looking down at her. He felt her flinch from the action and put on an annoyed face. “She’s waiting for us outside. I can feel that she wants to attack me.”
They reached outside, and sure enough, Claudia looked like a crazy woman and jumped to attack Cedric but miscalculated. She stabbed Yuki in the shoulder. She let go of the knife and backed away. “That was meant for you. Not her.” Freaking out hysterically.
Stepping forward, Cedric grabbed Claudia by the throat and squeezed. “You might be my aunt, but what right do you have in touching what is mine?” He slammed her into the wall and watched her fall unconscious. He quickly grabbed Yuki and vanishes from sight. Cedric set her down on the bed and sat behind her. He pulled the knife out and proceeded to lick the blood and essence away as the wound starts to heal.
Yuki hisses as the knife leaves her and squirms as he licks the wound. “Ahhh, it hurts, Cedric. Why is she such a fuċkɨnġ crazy ċunt?”
Cedric wrapped his arm around her, holding her in place as he heals the wound and watching it stitch back together. Once he was satisfied with how it healed, he bites his wrist and holds it to her mouth. “Drink my blood. You need it to heal the internal damage completely.”
Memorized by the blood, Yuki licks the drops to the wound and licks the spot, then bites into his wrist, drinking deeply as she feels the wound seal shut. Yuki licked her bite marks, then turned and looked at Cedric. “Master, are you alright?”
“I’m alright, and it should be me asking you that question. How are you feeling now that I have given you my blood?” Cedric pulled her down, and they were now lying funny on the bed.
“I can feel everything healing.” Yuki turned over and looked into Cedric’s eyes. “Can we lay down and rest for a while? It will take time to heal, and I feel a little drained.” She dropped the transformation and looked into his eyes.
“There’s my princess. Let’s get comfortable and nap.” Cedric got up, lifted Yuki up and, using magic, had the bedding pulled down. He placed her sitting on the edge of the bed and started taking her shoes off one at a time. He then picked her up and laid her on the bed. Cedric sat down, took off his shoes, cuddled her in his arms and used magic to bring the blanket over them. “Are you comfortable?”
Yuki let out a small yawn. “I am comfortable being in your arms. Thank you for bringing me home and complying with my request.” She snuggled her face into his ċhėst.
“Have a good rest, Princess..” Cedric hugged her and listened for her breathing to level out before he let sleep take him.
