Chapter Thirteen ~ What have I done?

Freya Rose

“Baby... Freya babe wake up, we've landed.”

I heard Tristan say softly as I felt him stroking my cheek. I opened my eyes, lifted my head up from his shoulder and reached my arms up into the air as far as they would go. I groaned as I stretched, then let out a huge yawn. Tristan chuckled at me as I felt something run down my chin, I quickly wiped it to investigate.

“Eww, I drooled!” I said in disgust as I vigorously wiped my drool-covered hand on to my t-shirt.

“Yeah, I know you did!” He chuckled as he pulled at the soaked shoulder of his t-shirt, and my face grew red with embarrassment.

“Urgh, that's gross, I'm so sorry,” I said apologetically, and he just smiled and chuckled at me. Everyone started making their way off of the plane, as they did I kept getting scowls and dirty looks thrown at me. I raised my eyebrows in confusion, one woman even tutted at me as she walked past. “What's their damn problem?” I asked Tristan as I stood up and stretched again.

“Um... You were kinda snoring all the way home,” he answered me cautiously. My eyes opened wide with pure embarrassment, then quickly screwed up with anger, I glared at him and said through gritted teeth,

“Why the hell didn't you wake me up?” He looked panicked and held his hands up in defense as he replied,

“babe you looked so peaceful, and to be fair I don't think it's the snoring that bothered them. I think it might have been the sex noises and you moaning out Tristan, that they found more annoying.” I inhaled a gasp with my mouth wide open.

“Tristan! I'm gonna kill you!” I yelled as I went to slap his arm, he let out a low chuckle then sprinted off of the plane, with me hot on his tail. I chased him through the airport, he was giggling like an excited child as he ran away from me. People were having to quickly move out of his way, and I found myself slowing down to apologize to each and every one of them. He turned around and ran backwards holding his hand up and ushering me to come and get him. I smirked and sprinted after him. He ran backwards even faster and laughed at me as I chased him. Then suddenly he fell ass over tit backwards, landing straight on the baggage carousel.

He was lying on his back with his legs and arms in the air like an upturned turtle. I heard people gasp and tut, but I just burst out laughing. I laughed so hard, that I had to bend over and hold my stomach to stop it from pulling. When I finally looked up, I saw that Tristan had righted himself and was now lying on his side holding his head up on his hand, and wearing a sexy smirk on his face. I shook my head at him and chuckled as the carousel slowly carried him around in a circle. Eventually, it brought him back around and the airport security was there waiting for him.

He quickly jumped off of the carousel and grabbed our bags, then shot me a fake worried look. He then smirked as he hot footed it out of the airport with the two fat security guards struggling to catch him. I chuckled and slowly followed behind them. I got outside and the two fat security guards were bent over huffing and puffing.

“Where the fuck did he go?” One of them asked the other.

“I haven't got a clue, one minute he was right in front of us, the next he was gone,” the other replied. I walked past them and chuckled silently to myself. They quickly gave up and walked back into the airport. I heard a whistle from around the corner of the building. Tristan! I thought to myself as I took off running in that direction. I turned the corner to go down the side of the building, then froze on the spot.

“TRISTAN!” I screamed out in horror.

“Not so loud princess. We don't want to draw any attention to ourselves, now do we?” Balan hissed as he held Tristan up against his chest. He had one hand holding Tristan's chin tightly, and the other was aimed at his throat. He had his index finger sticking out, and his nail was extended and resting against Tristan's jugular vein. I gasped and put my hands out in submission, urging Balan not to do anything crazy. Tristan tried to look at me, but his head was tilted too far back.

“RUN FREYA!” Tristan yelled.

“QUIET PUP!” Balan hissed at him, and then slowly pushed his nail into Tristan's neck a little more, just enough to send a trickle of blood down his neck and onto his t-shirt.

“STOP! Stop please, I won't run I swear,” I pleaded with Balan. He looked away from Tristan and then smirked at me.

“Of course you won't run. You can't hide from me princess; I will always find you. Alas, I do miss our dreams together my sweet Freya. Ah... All those times I killed this pitiful dog... Such fun,” he said in a quiet and sadistic tone, reminiscing a little too much for my liking. I knew I couldn't run, he would kill Tristan instantly, he also had Nathaniel and another vampire with him, and as I scanned around I could see four yellow beacons of light coming from the trees and I knew that they were vamps too. We were completely outnumbered, sure I could kill a couple of them, but I wouldn't be able to kill them all, at least not while Balan had Tristan in his clutches.

“Balan, what do you want?” I yelled deliberately interrupting his thoughts.

“Ah yes, my sweet Freya thank you for the reminder. Nathaniel, Alastor, would you mind?” He asked as he handed Tristan over to them. Tristan struggled as they grabbed both of his arms and held them out either side of him.

“If he struggles too much, rip his arms off,” Balan instructed the vampires. Tristan growled at Balan as he walked closer towards me. I wanted to rip his throat out, but I didn't know how strong he was, and I'm sure that if I attacked him right now the other two would rip Tristan apart. Unless I could catch him at the right time and hold him to ransom. I quickly tried to think of a plan as he approached me. “I want you to leave this pathetic dog, to come back with me and take your rightful place by my side as the princess of our brood,” he said as his ice-cold hands clasped mine. His icy touch sent shivers down my spine in disgust.

“NEVER!” I screamed at him as I snatched my hands away from him. Anger quickly spread across his face and his brown eyes turned coal black, and began to glow red. He lifted a hand above his shoulder signaling to the other vampires. Within seconds they each lifted one of Tristan's arms up to their mouths and then sank their fangs into his wrists.

“NOOOO!” I screamed as I watched in horror. He tried to pull his arms free but with each passing second, he grew weaker and weaker.

I had to do something and quickly, I was so angry by this point that it took only seconds for me to ascend. Balan's face changed into a look of wonder and excitement as his gaze scanned over my ascended form. The other two vampires snacking on my boyfriend however, had a look of pure fear and quickly focused their attention on me, instead of Tristan. He had already passed out from the blood loss, and was slumped forwards barely held up from the floor by the dirty bloodsuckers flimsy grip.

Without even looking at him I thrust my arm forwards and grabbed Balan by his thick neck, my small hand barely fit around it, but my grip was strong. I spun him around quicker than he could blink, and slammed him into the brick wall. The vampires behind me hissed, so I tightened my grip around Balan's throat in response. I glared into his eyes expecting to see some sort of fear, but there was none. I turned to look at the vampires behind me and they were slowly raising Tristan's wrists back up to their blood-stained mouths. They hissed at me as I glared at them. I turned back to Balan and stared at him as an evil grin of my own spread across my face.

“Move another fucking inch, and I swear, I will snap your precious Prince's neck,” I shouted out to them as I squeezed Balan's throat even tighter. I turned back to look at them as Balan let out a slight wince. Their eyes grew wide as they waited for instructions from Balan, so I glared back at him. “Tell them to let Tristan go, NOW!” I screamed into his face.

“Let him go,” he managed to choke out quietly. They dropped Tristan instantly, and he fell into a heap on the cold hard floor.

“LEAVE!” I screeched at them fanning out my wings in anger and hatred for them. They looked at Balan and I felt his head nod slightly, and then they vanished within seconds. “Now, give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you?” I asked Balan through gritted teeth. His face grew into an evil smirk as he lightly pulled at my hand, I let it loose a little. I don't know why I bothered asking him, I knew I was going to kill him no matter what he said. He began to talk very quietly,

“we have Cassie!”

He looked over towards the trees in the distance. I could see two vampires holding onto a bound and gagged Cassie. My eyes grew wide and I couldn't hold the anger in any longer, I smashed my fist right into the wall, just inches away from his face. He didn't even flinch, his grin just got wider.

“Once I am safely away from here, my vampires will release her, I promise. I am a man of my word,” he said with a smirk. I pulled my hand away from his throat and ran over to Tristan who was still passed out on the floor. I knelt down and hovered over him, wrapping my wings around him to make sure Balan couldn't get to him. Balan took his time straightening up his shirt and suit, then ran his fingers through his hair.

“You can't keep him safe forever Princess, and you can't protect your loved ones all of the time. You have until your eighteenth birthday to decide. After that, I will start killing off your family and friends one by one. It's your choice my love,” he said as he smirked at me, then vanished quicker than I could reply.

I rushed to get my phone out of Tristan's pocket, and called Tristan's house. One of the wolves answered and I ordered him to send the doctor out right away. I then called Missy and Grayson to let them know where we were, so that they could collect Cassie. I held Tristan in my arms and waited for everyone to arrive. Cassie had gradually made her way over to me, and I took off her restraints.

“Thanx Freya,” she said as she hugged me.

“Are you ok Cassie?” I asked as I stroked Tristan's hair. She sat down beside Tristan and held his hand.

“Yeah, I will be. Today has strangely snapped me out of my grief, I was so lost Freya, and I couldn't find my way back. I just miss her so much. But having them bloodsuckers snatch me, gave me the fire back. I want to get stronger, so that I can have my revenge, and kill every last one of them!” She said with pure hatred in her voice.

“They will get what they deserve Cassie, I swear to you. We will avenge Jessie's death!” I said as I took her other hand and squeezed it. “I missed you Cassie,” I said in a quiet and sweet voice.

“I missed you too Freya,” she said, and squeezed my hand back.

“Cassie, thank the moon you're ok!” Missy shouted as she jumped out of the car and ran over to us.

“Yeah I'm ok mom, Freya saved me!” She said as she looked over to me. Missy quickly scooped her up off of the floor and hugged her tightly. “I thought we'd lost you too,” she said while sobbing into Cassie's hair. Her dad Grayson quickly joined in the family hug, and then turned to me and said,

“thank you for saving our baby girl Freya.”

He was badly trying to hold back tears. I smiled at him then looked back down at Tristan and continued stroking his hair. The bites had begun to scab over and weren't bleeding any more, but he still wasn't waking up.

“TRISTAN!” Clara screamed as she came hurtling towards us. “What happened!?” She questioned me with a scowl as she viciously pulled Tristan away from me, and rested him on her lap. I scowled at her back, replying simply with,

“Vampires.” She snarled at me and shouted through gritted teeth,

“this is all because of you! The sooner my son finds his real mate the better.”

I wanted to rip her head off right then and there, I could feel my rage building up inside me, and I had to walk away quickly before I did something I was going to regret.

“Yeah, that's it, run away to your dirty hunter mate. Just like you did the last time my son was nearly killed because of you!” She spat at me as I walked away.

“Don't you talk to her like that!” Cassie screamed as she slapped the Luna across the face. Her parents gasped and I quickly shot round to stare at Cassie in shock, as she started shouting at Clara, “she just saved your son's life you ungrateful old hag! He loves her more than anything else in this world. So much so that he drove down to Banff to kill Freya's mate, so that he could have her back. So be fucking happy that he has chosen the strongest, bravest and nicest person in the world to be the Luna of our pack!” Cassie finished her rant and took in a deep breath.

To mine and Cassie's parents surprise, Clara didn't punish Cassie, or even so much as utter a reply. She just stood up and calmly walked away, got in her car and drove off leaving Tristan laying on the floor. I smiled gratefully at Cassie then quickly took my place back at Tristan's side, and held him close to my chest until Dr Dobson arrived.

Tristan Cole

I awoke to the sound of the shower; I opened my eyes to see where I was.

“Home!” I said with relief.

Shit, Freya, I thought in a panic as visions flooded my mind of what had just happened. I quickly got out of the bed and tried to run towards the bathroom. I felt a sudden sharp pain in my arm and stopped to look at what had hurt me. I had a drip in my arm, and it was attached to a bag of blood that was almost empty. I yanked the needle out of my arm and sprinted over to the bathroom. I flung open the door and instantly sighed with relief. There she was, as stunning as ever, I stood there for a few seconds scanning all over her amazing body, watching her as the water cascaded down and slid over every magnificent curve.

“Stop staring at me you perv, and get in here!” She said as she giggled, not even turning around to face me. I chuckled and quickly stripped off to join her. I opened the shower door and climbed in. I then wrapped my arms around her waist, sliding my fingers delicately across her stomach. I then kissed her neck and she moaned out with pleasure. I quickly flipped her around to face me, and she looked up at me with her beautiful illuminated blue eyes, they were full of lust. I knew my eyes must be as black as a clear nights sky by now, because I had never wanted her as much as I did right now.

I smashed my lips aggressively onto hers and inched my tongue into her mouth, without waiting for an invite. She moaned and placed her arms around my neck. I pulled her in tighter by her waist, so that our bodies melded together in an amazing soaking wet embrace. I slid my hands down to her ass cheeks then dug my fingers in, and lifted her up slamming her roughly into the tiled wall. I knew that I didn't have to be so gentle with her anymore, she was a hunter now, and I was going to make the most of her new-found strength. She gasped with pleasure at my dominance and wrapped her legs around my waist. I reached my hand down and pushed my hard member inside of her.

“Mmmm,” she screamed out as I slowly brought her down the full length of my shaft. I thrust in, and out slowly a few times, savoring the feel of her soft flesh riding up and down my member. Suddenly she grabbed my hair and aggressively pulled my head back, I looked back at her in shock, as she spoke to me in a low and sexy voice, that I'd never heard before,

“I need you to fuck me hard and fast! Can you do that for me?”

I didn't really know how to reply, so I just smirked at her forwardness and nodded. I quickened up the pace as she'd demanded, and she was falling apart. I watched her in complete awe as she closed her eyes and tilted her head back. She was making the sexiest whimpers and moans that I'd ever heard in my life. I absolutely loved this woman more than words could ever describe. She was close to climax, and I could feel her body begin to shake with every thrust of my hips, and I was close too.

“Faster Tristan!” she screamed out, and I did as I was told, she then quickly screamed out in ecstasy, as I also began my own climax.

“Arghhhmmm,” she screamed out in a mix of pain and pleasure. I quickly snapped out of my own pleasure filled daze, and pulled my head back. My mouth tasted of sweet fresh blood, and as I ran my tongue over my teeth, I could feel that my sharp canines were fully extended. I opened my eyes and saw that Freya was arched backwards still pulsing from her orgasm.

My eyes scanned over her face and then quickly spotted it, right there, between her shoulder and her neck was a large bite mark, my bite mark. I watched in horror as her blood seeped out of the mark and was swept down her body by the shower water. I pulled back immediately, dropping her down onto her feet. She shot me a worried look and then held her hand up to her neck. She cautiously pulled her hand away and just stared wide-eyed at the blood that now covered her hand.

“Oh shit, what have I done?” I whispered.
