Did my blood make him high?
“I need to make some calls.”
“Alright, I’ll be right here. You better come back so I can lay you out on this table and have you for dessert,” he yells after me as I head to my room for my phone.
Layla is the first person I call.
“Hey! How’s the puppy?”
I pace my bedroom. “He’s high. Off my blood.”
“Oh… that’s not supposed to happen. Do you think that’s a blood mate thing?”
“It has to be. Not to mention I was able to withstand a fae’s magical current when it should have knocked me out cold. Any luck tracking down Elia and Noran so we can ask them about this?”
Layla sighs. “These vampires made it difficult to be found. They have no phone number or email on file. We have to send someone to their last known residences to deliver word that you are trying to get a hold of them, if they’re even still there. We believe Elia and her mate are in Europe, Paris possibly, but Noran is said to be here in the states. Don’t worry, we’ll track them down eventually.”
I pinch the bridge of my nose and close my eyes. I rarely stress and right now I am losing my mind not knowing what’s happening with Teddy.
“Any updates on the search for Henry?”
“Nothing. The gargoyles are keeping a lookout. In the meantime, you should lay low.”
“I will after the council meeting—”
“It’s been canceled. They are up to date. We’ve also deployed soldiers to help track down Henry. We have it under control. You rest. Get to know your mate. Have lots of sex.”
I laugh at my best friend who always knows how to talk me off a ledge.
“You should be on the throne, you know.”
“Maybe one day.”
That day will come sooner than she knows.
“I’ll have extra guards stationed at your penthouse. Now that Henry knows about Teddy, I have no doubt he will try to find him and kill him.”
I wince. “He was always a jealous prick.”
He could have easily killed Teddy outside the club. Instead, I believe he only critically injured him to punish me.
I left him all those years ago after finding a witch to break his sire connection to me. Something that required black magic. The process was painful, as if my entire body had been engulfed in flames. It lasted for days.
Henry must have felt the same effects because he’s been searching for me ever since.
I’m confused as to why he didn’t capture me outside the club. To be fair, kidnapping a queen would be a dumb thing to do. Even he knows this.
Or maybe he doesn’t want me at all. With Henry, anything is possible.
Still, he will not hesitate to take Teddy from me. I have no doubt he watched us fucking and heard us talking about Teddy being my blood mate.
Henry is a masochist. He won’t want me to be happy.
I’ll keep Teddy safe. Now, I just need to convince him to move in.
Chapter 14 – Teddy
It’s been two weeks since I nearly died and Millie’s blood saved me—something that shouldn’t have worked but did. Millie had told me vampire blood doesn’t cure injuries or illnesses. So why was I the exception? She says it’s because I’m different. Special.
