Page 48 of Blood Moon
Holy shit, was the crazy bastard on our side? WTF? This was all too easy. How the hell did Enzo get the jump on knowing we had to get him on our side? More than that, please tell me that we seriously were not teleported here and at the mercy of the psychotic vampire. He needed to be at the mercy of us, it wasn’t supposed to work this way.

Enzo lifted the silver dome on the table, and that revealed a blood bag on a silver plate.
“You’ll notice there is no silverware at this table, this is why.” He smiled and then sucked every last drop from the bag.
I watched as the vampire’s eyes swirled in an array of colors, and he licked his lips.
“You all should be smelling the desire to drink from the everlasting and timeless blood I had created for all of you. My daughter and granddaughter should even be able to keep this special blood down as well.” He looked at Aria and me sympathetically, “It might taste a little fruity going down, but you’ll need this for the war.”
“How the hell do you know anything about this, you sick fuck?” Cole asked. Enzo’s spell of silence either had no effect on Cole, or it wasn’t working anymore. I had no clue.
“Hmm,” he narrowed his eyes at Cole, “because I have a lot of supernaturals at my fingertips. They’ve all donated their lives toward my cause. I needed a seer to block your little vampire friend from this moment. Well, actually,” he chuckled, “I allowed her to see this lovely dining feast, but that was it. I wanted to be the one to inform all of you of the army you would join so we could defeat Barnabus together. But you,” he studied Cole, “you haven’t fulfilled the final piece to my powerful puzzle. You may not partake of the blood until you have drunk and, well, you know, enjoyed the ecstasy of feeding on my daughter.”
“Leave him out of this,” Aria spoke after I opened my mouth and nothing came out.
“You think you are more powerful than me.” He grinned at Aria, “Just because you have the blood that all vampires desire for health and strength—the blood of the most powerful immortals themselves, and most importantly, the blood of the alpha—that does not mean you are more powerful than your grandfather. I have a purpose, child, and that plan is missing one final piece to its puzzle. Cole Banner’s initiation into this unique blood bond.” He looked at Cole, “You are more than ready for her, aren’t you? Your cock hard and your fangs ready to feed. I’ll allow you both the privacy you need.” He looked around the table and laughed, “Tough since you all gained this special bondthe old-fashioned way, I’m fairly sure an audience wouldn’t stop my daughter from feeding her vampire in front of us all.”
“You’re disgusting!” Aria said after I closed my eyes and searched my mind to control Cole not to go through with what Enzo wanted.
Before I heard Enzo answer, I had movement again, but the room had changed, and now it was just Cole and me, and he seemed to be motivated under Enzo’s will to fuck and feed off me. Unfortunately, I was feeling drawn to wanting this too.
“Fight it,” Cole said, closing his eyes and practically panting. “Elle, fight it.”
I resisted the urge to move across this bedroom we had been transported to and beg Cole to throw me up against the wall and start feeding. The heat and wetness between my legs were growing with each throbbing ache I felt of wanting to feel him inside me. My mind went to the euphoria of having his fangs in my neck and thrusting himself and stretching me wide like he always had.
“Damn it,” I exhaled through the sensations. “God, Cole, what the hell. Aren’t we supposed to want this? Everyone’s connected but you,” I said, leaning over and catching my breath while holding onto my knees. “Maybe Enzo’s seriously on our side. You’re the only one—”
“He’s in your head, Elle,” Cole said with anger in his voice. “Goddamn, I want to fuck you so hard right now. This is more painful than being ripped apart.”
“He read my mind earlier.”
“You have to block his ass out,” Cole seethed as he struggled to fight off Enzo’s compulsion for him to desire me more strongly than ever. “Do it.”
Mother? Mom?I heard Aria’s voice in my head, and for a second, I felt relieved from the aching need to be with Cole. Just as I felt relief, I also watched as Cole pressed me up against the wall and began kissing me with so much force, I was back to wanting more from my vampire.
Mom, listen to me. I’m in your head, I have Enzo blocked. You have the psychological strength to stop Cole.
“I can’t,” I said after Cole’s lips left mine and went to my neck, his tongue doing the one thing my vamps knew drove me wild for them. Massaging the vein as if they were licking my throbbing clit and teasing it.
Mom, you need to let me into your mind right now! Our thoughts together are the key to controlling all of this. You have to accept me, and everything will open up. Together, we’ll be more powerful than Enzo.
“How?” I let out a breath, rubbing my hand over Cole’s hard cock through his jeans, “God, Cole, I need you inside of me right now.”
“Fight it,” he growled while his tongue and fangs grazed along my neck, telling me that, physically, Cole wanted to feed and fuck like I needed him to, but his mental strength was battling it to his limits.
“How do I trust this, Aria?” I asked, running my hands through Cole’s silky, copper hair. “The rest of them are bonded to me, Cole isn’t. Enzo’s right. It’s the only way we beat this diabolical war.”
Stop this right now!Aria growled in my head.Enzo doesn’t know the extent of my power that’s been opened up. He doesn’t know or fully understand the power you and I have once our minds interlock on a psychic level. Let me in, and let’s finish this.
“Who are you talking to?” Cole asked, cradling my face in his strong hands while thrusting his hard cock up against my stomach. “You’re right. Enzo’s right. We can’t beat this until I’m bonded.”
“No.” I felt a new sensation creep up into me. “Aria’s right. It’s her and me who are the key.”
Cole looked at me in confusion as I opened my mind to my daughter and felt a surging power enter into my thoughts and mental capacity.
Thank God. We’re together now. You need to mentally bring Cole into the bond. Do it now.
