Or so I thought.
I started towards our bedroom as Thorn finished up his business with the gentlemen. I smiled to myself thinking of my love, when pain shot through my head. I screamed out as I fell to the ground, Thorn was beside me in seconds, taking me in his arms. I cried out, "Someone is in my head Thorn. It hurts, make it stop."
Thorn looked at me and his eyes turned to red and the pain started to leave my body as I stared into his eyes, I no longer cried out, I lay in his arms, content. I felt Thorn enter my mind, I could hear voices but couldn’t make out what or who, they were saying. Suddenly Thorn was out of my mind and the pain was gone. I looked at him and whimpered out, “Thank you my love, you saved me."
He picked me up and carried me to our room, stripped me down and gently put me in bed. I watched with exhausted eyes as Thorn stripped and crawled into bed with me. He gathered me into his arms and kissed my forehead as I heard Thorn whisper out, “He will not take you from me, my mate, my queen, my love." I was too exhausted to say anything as sleep took me.
I awoke in Thorn's arms cocooned, protected and cherished. I smiled up at him as my gaze fell upon his eyes. He looked at me and softly spoke, “love, we must talk." I looked away from him as fear consumed me. He gently turned my head towards him and said, “Mate, do you remember Falcon?"
I looked at him and softly said, “No, mate, who is this Falcon?"
He continued softly, “He is the king of the vampires, mate and he wants you." I shook my head no and tears pooled in my eyes. “Love, he is coming soon and he will try to take you away from me."
I looked at my master, my mate, my love and said, “Well, I will tell him, no! I don’t want him, that you are my mate, my king, my master, my love."
He smiled softly at me and stroked my cheek, “Doesn’t work that way, it will be a fight. A fight to the death."
I gasped and whimpered out, “No, I can’t lose you. I looked at him and something in my head was shouting at me, he is not your true mate." Thorn seen the change in my eyes as I looked at him, his eyes turned red and I fell right into them. I sighed and snuggled up to him. “I will go with him love, if that is what you want."
"No, you are mine! Nothing will take you from me", he replied. Thorn then did something totally unexpected; he took me in his arms tighter and he made love to me. He filled me and loved like no other ever had. I looked at him and he smiled, "Your scent has changed love. You’re pregnant with my child."
I looked at him and said, “That isn’t possible, not in such a short time."
He smiled and said, "Love, vampires aren’t like humans. You shall have our child." I smiled at Thorn and whispered, “I love you, my mate."
He caressed my cheek and softly said, “I love you, never forget that I have given you my heart." My stomach growled in hungry and Thorn laughed. I smiled and said, “French toast please love" Thorn got up and said "For you my queen, French toast it will be."
I happily ate my breakfast and lounged the morning away. Lunchtime came and went without an incident. I was dressed for dinner when Thorn came in and said, "He has arrived love."
I stood frozen to the spot and fear ran through me. I looked at Thorn as he said "Remember what I told you this morning?" I nodded and smiled at him, as our fingers entwined and we left the bedroom together.
We entered the huge study, hand in hand. I heard a growl and I whimpered softly to Thorn, "Please mate, don’t leave me." He smiled at me and caressed my cheek and said, “Love remember what I said. I nodded and looked around the room; my glance fell upon two men that look familiar to me for some reason. Falcon looked at me and spoke, “Olivia, come to me my queen."
I took a step back and shook my head no and whispered out, “No, I don’t know you, I am not your queen, and Thorn is my mate." Falcon took a step towards us and said, “You’re my queen, he has you under his spell, love. He took you in hopes he would destroy me."
I looked at Thorn and said, “Tell him, mate, tell him he is wrong." Thorn looked at me and said, “I am sorry, love, mate, my queen."
I dropped his hand and looked at him and said "It is true? You are using me?" He spoke softly to me, “No, not now. In the beginning yes, but you have my heart, love. Now you carry our child, I don’t want his throne or to destroy him. All I want is you."
Thorn held his hand out to me and I walked to him then caressed his cheek. Falcon roared, "Child?!?” My hand flew to my stomach and I simply nodded. I looked at him and said, "We are a family, please leave us alone."
Falcon looked at me and said, “no, your mine." He crossed the floor in a quick motion and had Thorn ripped away from me in seconds, I screamed out. My screams did nothing to stop what I was witnessing. Thorn didn’t fight, he just let Falcon hold him by his throat, and he didn’t fight either as Falcon pulled a silver knife from his pocket and sliced his throat open. His eyes never left mine as I screamed out. Falcon dropped him to the floor and I ran to my mate. I pressed my hand over Thorn's gashed open throat and cried, “Please don’t leave me, and love."
Thorn looked at me with a sad smile as his life was slipping through my fingers. "Mate, drink me", he whispered. I looked at him and bend down and licked in his blood, he whimpered out, "My blood will flow through your veins; we will be one, always."
I continued licking his blood and finally my lips sealed on the gash and I drank a mouth full of my love’s blood. Falcon turned and roared as he witnessed me drinking Thorn’s blood, "Stop, do not drink more Olivia, I command you to obey me."
I looked at Falcon with blood covered lips and spat out "Fuck you!!" and took another mouthful of Thorns blood. Falcon had me by the throat and said, “Stop now." I looked at him as the tears flowed down my face. Thorn whimpered out, “Love stop, you drank enough. Take care of our daughter, mate." I gasped as he whispered softly, “I love you, my queen, my mate, my love."
Before I could answer, Thorn stopped breathing and he lay dead in my arms staring at me with lifeless eyes. I shook my head no and I screamed out,"Nnnooooooo, don’t leave me mate, don’t leave our daughter, love. I need you, Thorn. Please" I whimpered out, "I love you, my king, my mate, my master, my love."
I cried over my lost love’s life and I cradled his head to me. Falcon reached down and moved Thorn from me and I kicked out,"Fuck you, you killed him, you’re a monster!"
I screamed and tried to punch and kick him. He simply cocooned me his arms until I was too exhausted to continue. I struggled out of his arms and kneeled by Thorn for the last time. I bent down and kissed his lips softly and whispered, "Good bye, my love."
I got up and with my head held high as I walked out of the room, never looking back and went to our bedroom. I walked in and closed the door and leaned against it.
My eyes looked at our bed and there, in the middle, was a small package with an envelope. I ran to the bed and grabbed both items as tears silently ran down my face. I crawled onto our bed and sat in the middle of it, opening the envelope. I gently took the letter out and took a deep breath and opened the pages.
My dearest love,
I have made the choice to willing let Falcon take you. I need to keep you safe and know our child will be safe. Please mate, don’t mourn me, I am flowing through your veins; my love grows inside of you. Our daughter will be a beauty and I ask you give her my last name. Forgive me, love for the hurt and pain I know you feel. I took the liberty and went through your memories and I know you wanted a daughter that you wanted to name Gemma, after your mother. I am hoping that you will like the name I wish our daughter to have, Gemma Olivia Thorn. Thorn, my love, was my last name; my first name is long and boring... Our daughter will carry our love with all three of our names! Now, the box you hold in your hand is something that belonged to my mother and I want you to have it. Open the box mate.
I opened the box and there nestled in silk was the most beautiful ring I had ever seen. It had a large pink stone in the middle and diamonds around it. I took it out of the box and slid it onto my finger
. I picked up the letter and continued on reading.
Please wear my mother's ring, love and one day pass it onto our daughter. Tell our Gemma that her father loved her and was overjoyed to know she was coming into the world. You my mate have changed me into a better vampire and gave me the gift of love. Something I haven’t felt for a very long time. It is time my love, I must walk you out and face my destiny. I cherish you and love you and I want what is best for you and our child. Remember what I told you, mate! My heart is yours and yours alone! Until we meet again in another life...
All my love, your mate,
Thorn
I clutched my love letter close to my chest and sobbed for a lost life, a lost love. I laid down on the bed holding the letter to me. I sat up and for some reason I could hear Thorn in my head saying", Look in the envelope, mate." I didn’t question his command and picked up the envelope and looked in it. There was a picture of Thorn by himself, and then there was a couple of him and me together. We looked in love, happy and content. I sighed and thought, “Well fuck me, I thought vampires couldn’t be seen in pictures." And wondered when these were taken in the first place. I held my Thorn close to my heart and sleep swallowed me up quickly.
I awoke sometime later to hushed voices. I lay there and listened to the conversation, “son, I don’t know how long his spell over her will last. You are going to have to be patient with her, are you prepared to accept that baby as yours?"
Falcon, replied with determination in his voice, “yes, father, I will accept the baby as my own." The other voice said in a very hushed voice, "Think she suspects anything?"
Falcon replied, “No she doesn’t, she can never know the truth. I can’t lose her." I stirred so they would know I was waking up; I stretched and opened my eyes, to find the men smiling at me and watching me close.
The older man spoke first, “Hello Dumplin, I am Sammy, your doctor. Do you remember me?"
I shook my head no and clutched my Thorn’s picture closer to me. Falcon's eyes narrowed and he grabbed the picture out of my hands, I flew at him screaming, “no, it’s mine" and tried to take it back, my efforts wasted as he pushed me onto the bed.
Falcon's voice was filled with anger and hate, “You will be mine and only mine. This is a memory for you now." I watched as Falcon held his hand out and the picture burst into flames and disappeared. I looked at him and snarled out, “I will never be yours, and I am Thorn’s mate."
Without warning Falcon slapped me across the face as Sammy roared, “falcon, stop."
I sat on the bed shocked that he would lay his hand on me. I glared at him and hissed, "Get the fuck out of my room, leave my house and leave me is." Falcon pushed by Sammy left the room in a huff. Sammy was back at my side before I knew it and he tended to my now swollen cheek. He tried to comfort me with his words. "Dumplin, do not provoke him, for now play his games. I could hear my Thorn in my head again saying, “Love, please stay safe “and it calmed me. Sammy thinking that it was him, but in reality it was my fucked up mind playing a cruel trick on me, letting me hear my Thorn. Sammy whispered to me, “Dumplin, where is Brenda?"
I looked at Sammy with a smile and said, “dead". Sammy gasped and choked out “Why?" I looked at him curious as to his strange reaction and spoke, “She tried to kill me and Thorn left me dish out her punishment before he gave her his punishment."
Sammy swallowed hard and said "What happened to her." I said in a flat voice, “She was raped repeatly.
"Do not tell him her blood was taken, love", I heard in my head. I looked at Sammy and said "She was taken from here and all I know is she is dead, how I can’t tell you."
Sammy nodded at me and quickly left the room. Moments later I heard a roar through the house like I have never heard before. Suddenly my door burst open and Falcon rushed at me, hate filled his eyes. "You let my mate be raped?"
I just looked at him and smirked "Yes, in fact she was raped by three men at the same time." He had me by the throat and lifted me off the ground. I closed my eyes and waited for death to come for Gemma and I. Thorn once again was in my head, “love, it is not your time." I opened my eyes as Falcon threw me across the room, my back crashing into the wall.
He roared "Raped, you are about to find out how it feels to be raped." He was over me in seconds, my hair in his hands as he dragged me across the floor. I screamed out. He threw me onto the bed and before I knew it had me tied to the bed posts. His eyes were red as he climbed onto the bed and tore my shirt open. Next was my bra, followed by my pants and panties. I lay opened and exposed to Falcon. I laid there and said nothing as I knew my punishment was about to be severe. Falcon got off the bed and left the room. I lay there awaiting the torture he was going to give me. Falcon strolled back into the room followed by several vampires. I looked at him and glared, "You will be raped repeatly, and you will know what my queen felt."
I looked at him and said "Your queen?"
He laughed and said, “You’re not my mate, I lied, I needed you so I could challenge Thorn, my brother, he was too close to taking over my crown as king, he had to be destroyed."
I gasped and said "You killed your brother? You used me to get to him?"
He smirked and said, “Your fat ass would never be my queen, you are in fact Thorn’s true mate, I scented you and knew you were his. With you I am more powerful and I will rule over all vampires for eternity." I struggled again my binds, they only tightened on me. "Brenda was here to help me, she was here to set Thorn up and get him killed, you came along and it was perfect. Perfect until you killed my mate."
He started undressing and suddenly "Mate, listen to me quickly, I am alive. The Thorn you watched be killed was a vampire who protected me.I am coming now to kill Falcon my love…I am coming to you."
I gasped and started to cry. Oh my Thorn was alive and I could feel him all in my thoughts, I could feel his love surround me. I sighed with contentment and my heart felt light. I looked at Falcon as he was removing his pants. I swallowed and thought "oh my god, he is going to rape me and torture me, before my love can help me." Falcon climbed onto the bed. He was in between my legs and I could feel his cock pressing at my entrance. I swallowed my scream and waited for him to thrust into me. I closed my eyes tight and waited. I felt his hand go around my throat and with a single thrust he entered my dry pussy. I whimpered out as the pain shot through me. He gave me no time to adjust to his size as he started savagely thrusting into me. His hand around my throat, he started to squeeze. I couldn’t breathe as he fucked me harder. I was close to passing out from lack of air, when he released my throat. I gulped in air, and once again his hand went around my throat. This went on for a while, the pain in my body and lack of air, I had no idea how much time had passed when the door burst open once again. I could feel Thorn all around me once again. Falcon never noticed; he was too hell bent on revenge.
Thorn came up behind him and grabbed his head and said, “Brother, you will die now." I see a flash of silver as Falcon’s throat was sliced open. He gurgled and fell on me. Thorn swiftly removed him, untied me and he held me tight. I held my mate and cried…for my love, my mate, my master. I cried for the love I thought I had lost and now had been returned to me. I was hurting and in pain as Sammy entered the room. He looked at Falcon as his life was slipping away, “You son are evil and cruel…and you shall rot in hell for your sins."
He stepped over Falcon and came to Thorn and I smiling. "Father, thank you for your help”, Sammy simply nodded his head. He looked upon me and said, “Dumplin, I will help you and my grandbaby, she is a princess, the princess of vampires”
My injuries healed over time, it wasn’t easy to bounce back from being raped by Falcon, but with the love of my mate I was able to overcome it. My belly grew big and we awaited our daughter’s arrival with such excitement.
One night as I lay in my love’s arms he told me how he knew Brenda was really Falcon’s mate. The men, who I found out later are our security team, were able to taste Falcon in Brenda
’s blood. He had mated with her and she was his, so his scent and flavor, for a lack of a better word, was in her blood. As our team carried out Brenda’s punishment, her mind was weakened and my Thorn was able to penetrate her mind and it all fell into place. Brenda did love my Thorn as well as Falcon. Her love of both is what in the end destroyed her. Falcon did not lie, he did scent me that fateful day, and he knew Thorn was my true mate and that I could put an end to his aspirations reigning as king. As for me and my life for Falcon, my handsome vampire asked me to be his bride.
I married my Thorn on all Halloween’s eve. There was never a more perfect date for our wedding. Our honeymoon has been delayed as Gemma Olivia Thorn came into the world on Halloween. I think she was waiting for her Daddy, who she has wrapped around her pinky, to make an honest woman out of her Momma. My life is good and I am loved and cherished. I embrace my size 18 body as I know my love worships it. I gave my Thorn the ultimate gift in our daughter’s birth and in accepting my own immortality, as Thorn’s true mate, he turned me into a vampire.
