For the past one week. Vince has been scarce since he was looking for his sister and Gwen had been lonely. She hardly have anybody to talk to and the servants were always bowing to her. She had finish another month training on her own, had been practicing self defense but still she was lonely. She missed Vince and she couldn't even tell him that she miss him, he would just find a way to be with her and search for his sister and end up overworking himself, even primordials need their rest and Vince was no different.
Gwen sighed as she thought about the times she spent with Vince, about how she almost told him that she loved him. Sure she had spent more than a month with him and him being her mate means that he is hers forever but that doesn't mean that she can just blurt out the words and expect everything to be okay. Knowing Vince and his old fashioned ways, as soon as she say the words he would start expecting her to plan for their wedding and mate or not, that was not a commitment she was ready for. Her ex, even if he was a dirt bag made her conscious of who she is going to spend her life with. At least if something happened with a boyfriend or a mate, you can just split easily, with marriage, divorce was nasty and the only vampires divorce that she had seen is when one of the person involved has seen his predestined mate and had to divide properties.
She won't have to worry about that with Vince since he had majority and if they ever divorce... No cancel that statement, if they ever break up. She is not going anywhere, even if he has to tie her down, she knew that Vince will do it.
He has been showing her a part of him that others don't normally see but she was not dumb enough to believe that there is no ruthlessness in Vince. He is a primordial and that is enough reason. He is just hiding it all from her.
She wondered when she will meet other primordials and she knew that it was soon because Vince had told her that he is getting closer to finding his sister and when he does find his sister, then they will go for the primordial meeting and she had no illusions that Vince will keep her by his side. The only reason why she is not by his side now is because he needed to focus and he cannot do that and give her attention at the same time so he checks in on her every three hours and it has only been one and half that he had left.
She sighs as she pick up her phone to talk so her friend. She knew that she had been disturbing his work and Ashley won't tell her that unless it becomes too much and she knew that it will some reach that level.
Ashley pick up the call. " hey this is Ashley, if this is just a prank call, know that I will trace this call and shove the phone up your ass and if not, leave your message and bug off because I am busy and there is not enough Ashley to go round for everyone ."
Gwen smiled at Ashley voice, he always say different absurd things when he picks up the phone she had warned him to be careful about it numerous times but Ashley will remain Ashley. He keeps warnings at home and does whatever the hell he feels like doing. " what if it is your best friend. "
" then hello bestie, there is enough Ashley for you " Ashley said with his voice growing warm on the the phone instead of the hard bark he used to answer the call.
" are you sure. I don't want to intrude. You might be on the middle of having sex for all I know. " Gwen jokes as Ashley laughs.
" girl even for you, I would not pick the call if I was in the middle of getting it on. " Ashley told her as she laughs.
" I miss you Ashley. " Gwen sighs.
" I know. Is he treating you okay. " Ashley asked.
" yes. "
" then why are you missing me when you can be getting it on with him. "
" Vince is busy. " Gwen said offhandedly.
" so his name is Vince. "
" don't start " Gwen warns.
" fine but still I don't see what he would be so busy doing that he would abandon you. Surely he can put it off for as long as he can. "
" he already did. He was in the middle of doing it when he saw me. " Gwen offers.
" we need to stay on call. This is the most you have ever given me about him. " Ashley gasps.
" really you have time for this conversation. " Gwen asked in a disbelieving tone.
" well... No. " Ashley stressed. " I was in the middle of serving some customer. "
" Ashley. Go back to what you were doing. " Gwen started but Ashley cut her off.
" it is okay. She was yelling at me and being extremely disrespectful so I told her to fuck off. " Ashley said as Gwen mouth snapped opened.
" you don't mean it. " Gwen argues.
" of course I do. " Ashley said.
Gwen felt the air around her shimmer and she smiled. Maybe Vince came back early. " hey Ashley I am going to go now. "
" he is back isn't he. I can hear it in your voice. " Ashley asked.
" maybe. " Gwen said with a smile. " we will talk about your attitude to your customers later. " Gwen added.
" yeah yeah yeah. " Ashley said as he ended the call.
Gwen frowned. Shimmer had died down which meant that Vince was in the room. He would have hugged her long time ago. He always look for her anytime he came home.
She turns slowly and nearly jumped out of her skin. "who are you. " she stuttered at the tall blonde hair man who stood behind her.
" who are you. "the man asked back.
" I asked first. " Gwen said as she stood up and face the man.
Before Gwen knew what was going on. Her back hit the wall hard and she was dangling on the man hand which was the only thing pinning her to the wall and raising her feet from the ground . " don't test me. " the man growled at her
" I am not. " she cracked out as she kicked him as hard as she could in between his legs and the breath rushed out from him.
As soon as he let her go, she fell on the floor and ran towards the nearest exit. The man appeared before her. " give me one good reason why I should not kill you. " Jake growled at the lady who was feisty. He doesn't see her as Vince type and Vince was not the kind of person who lets his sex partners into his home. Imagine his surprise when he saw a lady on the couch answering a call and looking as comfortable as possible as if she lives there.
" you are a primordial like Vince. " she said with a gasp.
" so. " Jake asked. Who was the lady who knew Vince identity. He never reveals his identity to his play things.
" I am Vince mate. " she coughs holding her throat. " He is going to kill you for almost strangling me. "
Jake froze at that. If she was really Vince mate. Vince will kill him when he returns. "am sorry. Is there anyway you would keep this a secret from him. "
" no way. " Gwen said as she took in deep breathes.
Even if she kept it a secret, her pale creamy skin was red around her throat. Vince will know. Not unless he gave her blood first. Looking into her eyes he said in a persuasive voice. " I want to forget this incident... "
" are you trying to compel me. It doesn't work on other primordials why will it work on their mate. " Gwen asked as she rest on the wall and used her hand to rub her throat. Her first time at been strangled and she is still feeling the effects.
" please... " Jake started only for her to gasp.
" Vince is here. " she twirls around in a graceful move as she ran into another room. Jake followed her slowly. When he entered the room he saw her enter a while ago, he saw her legs wrapped around Vince waist and she kissed him. Vince was holding her to him. Jake knew at that moment that Vince might kill him for touching his mate.
