Chapter 9 SCENT.

The guards rushed in, shaking and shivering in fear. They could feel his anger and his aura was very dark and dangerous.

"Where is she?" Haze asked.

"We haven't been able to locate her, master". A guard said with his head bent.

"And you stand there to proudly tell me that you can't find a teenage girl?" he asked in an angry tone.

"SCOTT!" He yelled.

"Yes master." Scott answered as he entered with speed.

"Lock them up in the dungeon." He stated and they immediately got on their knees begging for mercy.

He was about to say something when his nose caught the scent of something, and he knew that scent. The scent was so faint and different. The beast side of him wanted to taste the blood that scented like flowers. But he controlled himself and without hesitation he stood up and followed the scent.

"Guard the house". he said to Scott, and with that he left, leaving the guards Wondering if they were free or if they were going to be like that until he got back.

With a speed like lightning he followed the scent running as fast as he could. He knew how dangerous it was if other vampires perceive the smell of her blood, she wouldn't live to see another day.

As he got closer to the scent, he perceived someone else. He stopped in his tracks when he saw his brother examining the girl who was lying on the ground unconscious with blood gushing out from her arms. Xavier fangs had elongated and he was ready to feed on her. In a flash, haze rushed to her and picked her up, shocking his brother.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?" he roared loudly, and all the birds flew away from the trees around them.

"I was about to feed, before you took my food away. I must say I haven't perceived such sweet blood before. But I don't mind sharing." Xavier said and licked his lips.

"Are you out of your senses? you were just about to break the number one rule". haze said as he carried her in a bridal style and covered the wounds with his hands.

"Oh come on, must you be such a killjoy? I am sure you have broken that rule countless times," he said as his eyes went back to their normal color and his fangs went back in.

"She is off limits."

"Why are you associating yourself with a human?" Javier asked suspiciously, because he knew haze hated weak creatures and humans were the weakest.

"I repeat she is off limits." he said and in a flash he disappeared and reappeared in her room, he put her down on the bed gently. His eyes turned light red and his fangs elongated, he battled with himself trying not to taste that sweet blood, but his head kept saying.

Mark her.

Mark her

Make her yours

MARK HER!

SHUT UP! Haze yelled back at the voice in his head as he hurriedly left the room, he called one of the maids to take care of her wounds.

Immediately he opened the door to the study room, he saw Tasha, he ignored her and sat down on his chair.

"She is your destined mate, isn't she?" Tasha asked.

"She is not", he replied.

"Then why did your eye turn light red instead of deep red? Everyone knows that one of the signs of meeting your destined mate is the change of a vampire's eyes, from deep red to light red. And the insatiable hunger for her blood. Or did your beast not tell you to mark her?"

With a dangerous aura and a devilish eye, haze looked at her.

"Why were you following me?"

"I wasn't. Scott called me and told me that you guy's haven't found her, so I went to her room to search for any clue when I saw you there. Struggling with your beast. Why can't you just accept that she is your mate."

"SHE CAN'T BE!" He yelled at her.

"She can't be my mate because a vampire can only have a destined mate who is also vampire, the moon goddess chooses them herself."

"The moon goddess made those rules, and she can change it, whenever she wants to. And remember you a cursed vampire. And now that i think of it, the prophecy would not make sense if she wasn't your mate, you guys are destined for each other."

"Then I reject her as my mate." he said and teleported to somewhere else.
