Chapter 34: Nikolai
I took in my surroundings, there was black and red blood everywhere, the once peaceful meadow, was now decimated with what remained of a brutal battle. I decided that once I leave this place with Mary, I’ll send in at least a hundred warriors to comb through these woods and kill the remaining monsters inside. Once upon a time, I had wished to find a way to free the rouge beasts, but I knew that was just a young man’s wish. There was absolutely no way to domestic a beast whose lost their humanity.
I looked down at my clothes and grimaced. I was covered in my own blood as well as the ghoul’s. I didn’t want to frighten Mary, but if I didn’t see her now my beast would take over. He was a raving lunatic right now, pacing back and forth in my mind. The only thing that would calm him right now, was Mary’s scent. I walked slowly over to the metal door, as I tried to determine the best way to approach her. By the time I reached the door I still hand’t come up with a plan that would scare her, so I knocked on the door lightly.
There was no noise from the other side. What was I expecting, her to open the door with wide welcoming arms. Of course not, Mary isn’t dumb. She has no idea who is standing on the other side of the door, and if she did have some clue, she might not even want to see me. I placed my hand on the latch to the bunker door, gently pulling against it to see if it would open. The door didn’t budge. Good girl, even in her panicked state she had remembered to lock the door behind her. My beast was now desperate to see Mary, he didn’t care for my dillydallying. He took over my arms, tightening my grip on the latch and prying the door off the hinges. I dropped down inside the bunker, as soon as my feet touch the floor, I see a metal bar in my peripheral line of sight. I have no time to react before the metal connects with the side of my head.
“Fuck.” I growl out, gripping the side of my head.
“Oh my god, Nikolai!” Mary cries hysterically, running towards me, grabbing my face in her hands. “I’m so sorry! I thought… I didn’t know what to think,” She stammers out, tears running down her face.
I notice her favoring her foot, reminding me that her leg was hurt. I pick her up intent on carrying her to the counter where I can sit her down and inspect her.
“Nikolai, you’re hurt!” Mary exclaimed, “Put me down. Let me look you over.”
“Mary, I’ll be fine. I am a vampire remember. What I need to do is look you over before the monster inside me goes insane.”
Mary tried to protest, but quieted down as soon as she realized I wasn’t going to give in. She allowed me to carry her over to the makeshift kitchen and set her down on the counter. The bunker was dusty, but everything inside of it looked sturdy still. As soon as Mary’s butt touched the counter, I stepped back to look her over. Somehow, after an entire day of trekking through the woods, and battling a ghoul, she still managed to look exquisite. My fingers brushed across her face, gently, stroking a small cut I noticed on her cheek. I continued to look her over, growling at the sight of her throat, where finger shaped bruises laced around her neck. She had scrapes and bruises running up and down her arms, but that was the extent of her upper body injuries. I squatted down and took her legs in my
arms. Ripping the bottom of her jeans, to give myself better access to look her over.
“Nik, those were my favorite jeans,” She whined.
“I’ll buy you a million more,” I growled out while assessing her injuries. Her ankle was double the size it should be and was covered in black and purple bruises. I gently touched it, cringing when I heard her hiss out in pain. I needed to know if it was sprained or broken. If it was sprained, I could heal her right
here and now with my blood if it was a sprain, if it was a brake, I didn’t want to try and heal her, I could mend her bones incorrectly and permanently cripple her.
“Sorry Aparogehabt, I need to make sure it’s not broken.”
Mary gritted her teeth as I continued to inspect her ankle. I let out a sigh of relief, it was just a sprain,
I could heal her right her and now and end her suffering.
I stood back up and pulled her tightly into my embrace, kissing the top of her head.
“I don’t know what I would have done if I lost you today.” I whispered to her, tears threatening to spill from my eyes, when had such a fragile creature become my entire world.
“Thank you for saving me Nikolai.” She whispered back her voice croaking towards the end.
“I’ll always be there to protect you, Mod Apyr.” I replied stepping back gazing into her eyes.
“I really need to learn Russian.” She smiled up at me. “The words that come out of your mouth sound so beautiful to me but they’re also so foreign.”
“I called you my mate, because that is what you are to me, you’re my mate, my entire world, you are the other half to my whole. In my weakest moments you make me strong, when I am in anguish you bring me peace. You can calm the beast inside of me.”
I heard Mary’s heartbeat skip a beat and then increase at each word I uttered towards her. She looked down from my eyes to my lips and back up again. I knew she wanted me to kiss her, but if I started kissing her now, I wouldn’t be able to stop, and it was more essential that I helped her heal first.
I brought my wrist up to my mouth and bit into it, before offering it to her. “Drink,” I stated bringing it to her mouth, “you need to heal.”
She pushed it away from her. “No, Nikolai. You are too weak, you’re bleeding all over. You need to conserve your strength and heal yourself.”
“Mary,” I growled, pushing my wrist back to her lips, “ I am a vampire, my wounds while they look terrible, will not kill me, they will heal within the hour, and even now I can barely feel any pain. I can tell by the grimace on your face, that you are in an incredible amount of pain, and you will continue to be in pain until I heal you. So drink.”
“Not unless you drink from me too,” Mary said, pulling her torn shirt off and baring her neck to me.
“Mary,” I growled out, resisting the urge to sink my fangs into her, “I can’t drink from you tonight, you need to heal and rest first.”
“You are my strength Nik. I am rested when I am near you. I will not heal myself until I know that you are also taking care of yourself.”
I couldn’t help but smile at the stubborn look on her face. She has always been so defiant. She made a terrible blood slave, I should have known from the beginning Mary was meant to be a Queen. Mary was absolutelty dtermined to not drink from me, unless I drank from her as well, and I was a weak man, I couldn’t resist the temptation she was offering me. Plus, I knew from previous experience that I would not get her to bend for me.
“Fine,” I growled out, spreading her thighs apart and settling myself between her legs. The cut on my wrist had already healed, so I brought my hand to my collarbone, using my nails to slice deep into the skin on my clavicle, before bringing Mary’s face towards my chest. As soon as I felt her start to suckle, I sank my fangs into her neck, slowly drinking from her and savoring the taste of her blood. Mary let out a soft moan against my shoulder before pulling away.
“Please Nik.” She moaned out, “I need you inside of me.” She brought her face back to my shoulder and began to suckle again unable to resist the call of my blood.
Mary didn’t have to ask me twice. My erection was throbbing against my jeans, begging to bury itself inside Mary’s warm hole. I grabbed her ass with one hand and lifted her off the counter before tearing her jeans and her panties down. Setting her back down on the counter, I pulled my fangs out of her throat, stepping away from her, causing her to let out a little breathless growl, as I tore my shoulder away from her.
“Don’t worry little monster,” I chuckled lightly, my voice hoarse with seduction. “I’ll give it back to you, plus more.”
Mary let out a little gasp as I pulled my pants down, my erection springing free. I brought my hand back to my shoulder, slicing into my clavicle once again, before stepping between her thighs once more. She brought her mouth down to my shoulder, and bit into me, causing me to let out a shocked
gasp of pleasure. My innocent little human was becoming a beast right before my eyes. I plunged my fangs into my neck, while plunging my member into her tight wet hole, causing her to moan out in pleasure. I began to slowly thrust in and out of her, wanting to give her time to adjust to my size. She pulled my ass towards her, wanting me deeper inside her. She pulled away from me, pleading. “Nikolai please,” she moaned out. “Faster.” I began to rapidly plunge in and out of her, “Harder.” She cried. I growled into her throat, as I unleashed a small amount of control to the monster inside of me. I pounded into her relentlessly, causing her to moan and scream my name, as she wrapped her legs around my waist tightly, pulling me tightly against her. Her core tightened against me as she came, causing me to release inside of her as her pussy milked my cock. I gently eased my fangs from her neck, licking across my mark, sealing her wounds, as I eased myself out of her. I kissed up and down her throat, before planting a gentle kiss against her mouth, hoping to express through my actions how much she means to me.
“Mary, I love you.” I whispered to her as I pulled away. “You are my Queen. I want to give you the world. We will battle your enemies together. Please don’t leave me again.”
She shuddered, as she stared into my eyes. “I love you too Nikolai, and I’ll remain by your side for as long as you’ll have me.” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Havcerja poporaa, Forever Darling.” I whispered in Russian and then again in English. “I’ll want you for forever.”
I teleported us back to my room in the palace, and ran a warm bath for us, sending a mindlink to Kade to call off the search; letting him know that Mary was safe and with me. Once the bath was drawn, I placed Mary inside, before easing myself in behind her. I could get used to this.
