Torn between mates

28. Fighting

Liv

My father is mind-linking me. What is really weird, he doesn’t do it often. Well, he almost never does it. I so hope he is not going back in what he said about telling mom the truth. 

“Liv, Lea is...” He says in a tense voice. 

“What now? Was she kidnapped again?” I ask softly. 

“Yes, she was.”

I sigh deeply, “Oh Goddess! What happened?”

This can’t be real! What the heck? How did it even happen? I thought she was at Avalon’s castle chilling with her fairy-guy and her wolf. How no one noticed that she faded in the freaking thin air before? 

My mom must be affected too. Damnit! I need to find Lea and help my mom. 

“The blasted Vampire King abducted her… and that bloody prick…she said… he wants to take her forcefully.” Father answers, his voice is pure edginess. He is losing it. Well, we are losing it!

My mouth drops open and my blood is curling with rage. 

“WHAT?” I yell through the link. 

My father hisses, “We will find her, Liv!” 

I breathe deeply trying to calm myself down. I need to think about my baby (or babies), I can have a meltdown now. That wouldn’t help anyone, so I try to pipe it down and put myself together. 

I think Avalon saw my distress because he came closer to me fast and now, he is wrapping his arms around my waist pulling my back against his chest. He looks at my face and sees my cloudy eyes, so, he knows it means I’m mind-linking my father. Well, it is an easy guess, since he is the only person I can mind-link.  

“Have you called her wolf? Maybe he still has that track trick on her.” 

Father sighs deeply, “I have. He was about to get his computer to monitor the tracking device. He should call me soon and say where she is. I have already mind-linked Elric. I´ll get back to you and let you know where she is. Tell your other mates to get ready to help. They shall take their best warriors along too. And you go to see how your mom is, she must be quite affected by it.” He cuts our link off.

I sigh deeply. Not this crap again! But now it’s a new and much worse version of the first kidnapping crap. Her own freaking mate?  

Rage. Desperation. Fear. Indignation. 

All those emotions pump into my veils and I can’t stop crying, as soon as I wipe the tears from my cheeks, new ones come. We have to find her, now! 

I glare at Avalon, he seems very worried and his eyes are grey; I tell him what happened before I mind-link Laius and also tell him everything. In few seconds he portals himself to our home and engulfs me in an embrace, cooing and soothing me. 

After a couple of minutes, father mind-links me again.

“They are at the Standbrucke Stronghold, at the South of the Vampire territory. We are going there now; we’ve got enough crystals and potions to break through the borders. Tell your mates to join us at the coordinates 35°South, 67° East.” He says and cuts the link. 

I tell my men, what my father just let me know; just before Elric flashes here, pulls me towards him, and hugs the crying mess that I’m. Pregnancy made me a wet mess, in all the senses of the words. 

“Love, we will rescue her. We will be there in time, rest assured. Go to see your mom and ask Cali to join you there.” Elric says trying to soothe me “We must go now.” He kisses my forehead. His voice and, actually himself, is my favourite calming herb. He makes me feel like this, in peace.

But now not even him is doing it for me. 

Laius pecks my lips and Avalon kisses my cheek. Laius and Avalon hold Elric’s arms and the three of them flash away. I could see the uneasiness that my mates were feeling at leaving me alone, but of course, they had to go due to the urgency of the situation. There is no other option, and I have to go too.

But I’m sure they would do anything and everything to save my little sister, they know how much I love her, and they also grew to consider Lea as family after being around her for so many years. They got close to her, especially Laius. 

Their worry and angst at leaving me keep flowing through our bonds, along with their fear about Lea’s situation; even though I’m quite sure they are trying to mask it and don’t let me feel their anxiety to don’t stress the baby and me even more. 

I call Cali and ask my best friend to go to check on my mom before I also portal myself there.

3rd Person POV 

After Broadrick leaves the room, Alexus stalks closer to Lea, staring at her with a cold smirk, that sends an icy shiver down her spine. She looks intently at his impassive violet eyes and feels her breath quiver, as a couple of tears slid down her face, but she inhales a deep gulp of air, renewing her lungs with a fresh determination.

He leans towards her, but before his hand could make contact with her skin, Lea moves her hand again and in another instinctive movement, sending a pulse of energy at him. The pulse is weaker this time and Alexus is much stronger than Broadrick, so her charge only makes him retract a bit. 

Seeing what she just did, Lea directs another pulse of energy towards him tentatively, as soon as he tries to get closer to her once again. She repeats it a couple of times, trying to keep him away. There is only one thought in her mind, she must try, she must hold on, she must fight. 

“I am getting tired of your little trick witch! Give up, you can only delay it a tad, but won’t be able to stop me… and you shouldn’t wear yourself out; you’ll need your stamina to take all I’ll be giving you tonight.” Alexus says, his eyes emotionless and his lips curled in a sneer. 

Lea flinches, but almost instantly recovers and stares at him standing her ground. 

“Just be the meek damsel that you are and stop this joke. You are only making it harder on yourself!” He states.

Lea doesn’t stop, she is adamant to fight with everything she has. After some time, her pulses start growing weaker, and the King is finally able to lean on her. He pulls the sheet, that is covering her, off abruptly, and she tries to cover her exposed body. But she is only able to squirm since her arms and legs are still tied. He laughs at her struggle. 

“Game over” Alexus states before he hovers over Lea; his hands are on the push-up position, and his face is only a few inches above Lea’s, as he presses his lower body against hers. She thrashes around, even though she knows she can’t free herself.  She also knows she must resist in whatever way she can. Alexus looks intently at Lea’s atypical expression, her features contorted into a frown. 

“Stay quiet and open your legs like a good bimbo.” He mutters in her ear, which only makes Lea wriggle harder. 

“Go away!” she hisses, trying to push him away using her knees. 

His weight comes down on her completely pinning Lea down to the bed. He moves his face towards her neck; she tilts her head doing all she can to protect her neck. Alexus’s large hand reaches up to her face and turning her head fast, she bites his hand. His other hand grabs her chin, and he frees himself from her bite. 

His emotionless eyes show a hint of amusement as he looks at her and says, without softening his grip on her chin, “You are not as boring as I thought … biting a vampire” He chuckles, “Having you as my bimbo is going to be very entertaining.” 

Lea hisses at his words, “You won’t…ever…have me!” 

He turns her face to the other side by the firm hold he keeps to/on her jaw, exposing her neck to his ravenous mouth. Alexus sinks his fangs into her skin harshly, with abandonment. Lea lets out a piercing scream. He didn’t need to contain himself and pretend to care anymore, he could just enjoy himself and satisfy his lustful hunger as crudely as he wanted. 

Alexus didn’t expect that Lea could be such a fighter. He has always taken her good-nature, shyness, and sweetness as weakness and meekness. 

Even Lea was surprised with her willingness to fight and to not give up on herself and the life she wants to have. 

She found the strength inside herself.

While still drinking from her, Alexus unties her legs and snakes a hand down between their bodies, squeezing Lea’s naked breast roughly. She gasps at the unfamiliar raspy sensation. 

The weight of the big muscular male pressed against her body pins Lea in place, she could hardly move her legs, neither her tied arms nor her neck. She is totally at his mercy, completely held down.  

After having him sucking her blood for a while, a strong wave of pleasure washes over Lea and she can’t hold back the treacherous moan that leaves her lips. 

She feels the heat going up to her face, but this time she is not embarrassed. She is angry, she is outraged that her body would respond like this to him, to her assaulter. But her body could only do so, yield to her mate’s bite. Another unwelcome moan escapes her. 

Alexus takes his fangs out of her neck and looks at her smirking, as he licks the strip of blood escaping his lips. “I can smell your arousal, such a good girl! … is that tight virgin p***y wet for me?” 

Lea hisses, “Never!” She hasn’t ever felt that angry in her entire life. But the pang in her heart at his betrayal is even stronger than her rage.

Alexus pulls off of her to take off his t-shirt and trousers. Now he is only wearing his boxer shorts. Lea looks at his bulge and swallows hard. She just has to buy herself some time and then, hopefully, her father will arrive and help her. She needs to believe in that. It is not all lost. 

Before Lea could try to move, Alexus leans down and covers her body with his swiftly, he was so fast that she couldn’t even see the exact moment that he moved towards her. She waves her hand charging an energy pulse at him, which sends him only two feet away. 

“Unbloody bimbo! I thought we were already over that game.” he snarls, standing up immediately and reaching towards her with his super-speed without giving her time to react any further. 

“Never!” She answers through gritted teeth. 

Alexus exhales sharply in frustration, he thought that taking her would be much easier than that. He decided to just let Lea wear herself off, which happens after she charges him with few more pulses. She is growing tired by the minute, charging at him is draining her energy rather fast. 

He straddles hovering over her and forces her thighs open using his knee, as his firm grasp on her hips keeps her in place. Lea tries to wriggle, but it doesn’t help. Alexus lays completely on top of her, pressing his bulge against her lower stomach and Lea moves her body convulsively in an attempt to push him away. She knows that she can’t, her movement is really reduced, and her pulses of energy aren’t working anymore, but she keeps trying, nevertheless.

“Stop struggling woman!” He grabs her chin again before his fangs puncture the soft skin of her neck. She can’t even scream, the hold he has on her chin is too strong. 

Her breath hitches in her throat, and she feels a wave of chill taking her body. She is terrified, but she keeps squirming and trying to move away as if her life depended on it. 

His hand finds her breast again, pinching and twisting her n****e hastily until it gets engorged before he does the same with her other bud. 

She tries to scream from the slight pain brought by that foreign sensation. 

She tries to scream at the fact that he is forcefully touching her, invading her, and violating her body. 

She tries to scream at the carelessness and emotionless way he touches her. 

She tries to scream at the fact that he is stealing from her a moment that should be joyful and precious to her, a moment in which she would willingly share her love and her body with the one, or the ones, she loves, and she knows love her back. 

But her throat only can release a scratching sound of agony. Fat tears flow down her cheeks and her heart clenches in pain.
