28 | One Last Kiss
SYLAQ'S POV
WHEN Nathan told me that she was being attacked by a vampire, I dashed to the place in seconds but to my surprise, I saw Ariella with that bastard, Zac Tyger.
My anger got the best of me, I grabbed the idiot and wanted to kill him. Even though Ariella told me that Zac saved her from another vampire who happened to be Bella's right-hand man, I still wanted to kill Zac.
Bella would definitely pay for this, I would be sure to make her pay for this.
However, I felt useless cause I wasn't there in time to save her. I should have been the one to save her not that bastard, Zac Tyger. Jenny, my vampire mate ran up to me and tried to stop me from killing her lover, Zac.
Bella's right hand woke up and automatically killed himself. This was to be expected since Zac bit him. A werewolf's bite was powerful enough to kill a vampire. I felt pleased knowing that he was dead, I hoped that he rot in hell.
Seeing Ariella throwing up made me sad, I ran to her but she ran away. Her behavior showed that she didn't like any of this but I couldn't just watch her go away from me so I ran after her.
ARIELLA'S POV
Sylaq caught up to me and took me to the river that was close by so that we could talk. The river was not that big and we just stood by the side of the flowing river. He helped me to clean my face with water from the river.
"I don't belong here and you know it.," I told him, folding my arms.
He also healed my injured shoulder. He looked guilty for not being there to save me.
"But you can't leave me, I need you here," Sylaq pleaded with his attractive voice. Honestly, that voice of his could enchant anyone but I wasn't gonna fall for it again.
I explained to him, "we were both betrayed by our lovers and that pain hurts more than anything but you need to understand that we don't love each other. What happened between us that night was a mistake, we wanted closure and we were infatuated with each other. You only married me cause you wanted to take revenge on your mate and I only married you cause I wanted to run from Steve's betrayal. Sylaq, we really rushed into things and did everything wrongly. Besides, you're a vampire and I'm human, this marriage can never work."
I took a deep breath.
SYLAQ'S POV
She really called that night of euphoric passion a mistake. Little did she know how much I dreamt of that night.
Fuck, Nathan must have told her about Jenny and Zac. She's convinced that I love Jenny but I didn't, I never did.
Zac used Jenny to get revenge on me not knowing that he helped me to get Ariella back.
Yes, I wanted to kill Zac because he fucked Jenny while she was engaged to me. They made a fool out of me and that was more than enough to kill them both.
As for now, I needed to think of a way to prevent Ariela from leaving me. Maybe, I should just let her go back to her house. I was sure that she would come back to me.
"Ariella, I shouldn't have dragged you into this. I wanted to tell you but Nathan beat me to it. The guy who saved you was Zac and that girl was Jenny." There was a lot that I was hiding from her, they were better-hidden cause she'd hate me even more if she actually found out.
ARIELLA'S POV
"Oh, I'm sorry," I just said that cause I didn't know what to say. The best thing to do was to listen to him, we hadn't communicated at all and I blamed myself for that. We could actually peacefully end this.
"Jenny betrayed me, she cheated on me with my enemy. She hurt me but I'm not in love with her so it didn't bother me too much," he expressed himself to me.
Was he telling the truth? Just when I thought that I'd figured it all out, he confused me even more than before.
I sighed.
"She doesn't deserve you. I'm sure that you'll find another vampire or werewolf that you'll love and she will love you back," I said to him, signifying that I wasn't gonna be that person.
"I'm human so there's no way that I can help you to forget her," I breathed.
He twisted his fingers and said, "I'm not using you to forget Jenny and I won't try to fall in love with someone else."
"I do not understand you. You fooled me into marrying you, I can never be happy with you, you're not who I imagined spending my life with so we need to end this. I don't like this toxic environment," the words dropped from my mouth faster than I thought.
I continued, "for what it's worth, I also loved the night we shared but now I guess it's time to close that chapter."
His green eyes held my gaze, "I'll take you home safely on one condition."
I heaved a sigh of relief.
I asked him, "what about the curse that will kill a princess and her family if she runs away?"
It was obvious that he made that shit up but I wanted to confirm.
"Hahaha, I just made that up," his laugh made this place alive.
"Ugh! I knew it was fake," I sneered, earning a chuckle from him.
"So what's your condition?" I asked, getting ready to leave from here.
"One last kiss, can we kiss one last time?" He muttered.
Dam, I was yearning for his lips to be on mine.
I kissed him with no hesitation and he kissed me back. His tongue played with my tongue, his breathing increased, and he caressed my face with his left hand and used his right hand to play with my hair. I felt him hardening making my whole body tingle, the butterflies in my stomach were dancing. It felt like I was transported to a different universe where only Sylaq and I existed and there was nothing or no one else that mattered, just the two of us in our perfect world, me, the human, and him, the vampire.
The electrifying kiss was long and intense but it came to an end cause it was time for me to go back to my world, my life, and my family.
"Let go now," I said to him putting an end to the kiss.
He held my gaze with so much intensity, "it's not that easy for me to let go of someone very precious to me."
Sylaq considered me to be very precious to him even though we only met about eleven days ago.
Eleven days more like eleven centuries.
Sylaq's deadly attractive, he's caring, it would be easy for me to fall in love with him but I couldn't ignore the fact of what he was. I saw the way he attacked Zac, I wouldn't risk him hurting me. My heart doubted that he could even hurt me but I needed to be logical. His sister already tried to kill me so the sooner I get the hell out of there, the better it would be for everyone.
"I'll take you to your house tomorrow," he parted his lips.
"Thank you," I was happy.
"Hmm, the river keeps staring at us so let's swim," he simultaneously pulled off his black sweatshirt, I helplessly looked at him with wide eyes.
Dam, this vampire was killing me with his angelic look.
How the hell could one look like an Angel and still possess a devilish power?
"I'm living tomorrow so we shouldn't be creating memories," I told him the truth.
"You don't get it, do you?" He tugged on his brown curly hair.
"Get what?" I muttered.
"Every second I spend with you makes my best memories," he said in a way that caused me to shiver.
At this point I was confused, I wanted to leave here but I still wanted him around. I leaned against his bare chest, he embraced me with much passion. Dam, I could stay here like this forever.
My stomach growled spoiling this moment.
"The swim can wait but you need to get something to eat," he mouthed.
