Her Forever
Chapter 34

Sadie

The sound of howling and barking flooded my ears. The whole mansion shook as the wolves ran across the lawn, leaving paw prints behind. Vampires jumped from the rooftops, attacking the wolves with all their force. There were hundreds of wolves running as a sea of darkness crept across the moonlit grass.

Out of all the wolves, I could see Seth’s eyes never leave my window as he ran across the yard. I pounded on the glass, trying to have Seth hear me when I was gripped abruptly by the arm. With the tightness of his grip, I knew I was going to have bruises on my arm.

Drago’s eyes were red, and his features were stone cold as he looked me up and down. Fear rose within me as he gripped me by the neck. I quickly threw my hands around his wrists to pry them off.

All of it was in vain.

He lifted me from the floor with one hand around my neck. I tried to gasp for air, but I was running out of oxygen as his grip became tighter.

“You will be mine,” he said through gritted teeth. “That is for sure. You will be my beloved, and you bear my children and rule Vamparia with me. You will love me, and you only crave me,” he spoke, reassuring himself.

As spots clouded my vision, he let go of my neck and carried me to the bed. My hands immediately went up to my neck, and I used my legs to kick with all my might to get away from him. I would not have him bite me, and there was no way I was going down without a fight. Tears of frustration sprouted from my eyes.

“Stop struggling, and it is useless! Just submit to me!” He growled.

Never, I would never submit. I was so close to having Seth back, I would never give up. No matter what, Seth was going to fight for me, and I would fight for him. I would be foolish to think otherwise.

Drago pulled my hands off my neck and pulled them over my head. He pulled the side of my dress with the other hand to get better access to my neck. I continued to struggle and started screaming, which only angered him more.

“Seth, Seth!!! I’m here. Help me!” The gurgling of my spit pool in my throat, causing me to gag.

“Drago! Say Drago!” he yelled into my face as I felt the cold spit from his mouth littered my face. His voice was harsh and threatening. I could feel the anguish in my heart, and I may not survive this.

“Never, never! Seth, HELP ME!” I cried. Drago quickly slapped me in my face, which only left me stunned. I’ve never been slapped before; I’ve had no one lay a hand on me of all the days of my life. It burned like grease to a fire and never let up.

With one swift movement, Drago forced his fangs into my neck. His fangs sunk deeper into my neck the more I tried to force him away from me. My cries only become louder as I felt my flesh ripping and tearing. Sobs never ceased, and my cries never faltered. My legs continued to thrash about as Drago’s heavy body tried to hold me still with his own.

Seth was going to be too late. Drago was going to claim me as his, and I had no way to stop him.

Seeing the life that I had lived flash before my eyes. The moments where my aunt would make her pies to sell at the diner, her longing looks at the pictures of Jeremy, my days being a waitress, and the smiles I would try to bring to others. I never thought about taking care of myself. Bringing others to happiness was something I really enjoyed.

Looking at couples with their children, laughing and playing with one another always gave me an empty feeling. Why couldn’t I find someone that gives me that fulfillment? I often longed for that, someone to care for, but no one gave me that feeling I longed for.

It was all so normal back then, before I would really know what love and adventure really were. Would I have been happier if I never came to this place? Just be alone and not find someone to care for me?

I wouldn’t have met Seth, someone who was missing from my life. He made my life complete in ways I didn’t understand. He made me feel whole, and he made my heart flutter with excitement. For once in my life, I truly felt loved and cherished. Seth made me feel things I never knew existed. Instead of me always taking care of everyone else, it was him taking care of me. That was all I wanted, to love each other and take care of each other. For Seth, I would fight; I would never give up.

With the largest breath I could muster, I screamed his name from the mountaintops of my heart. Continuing screaming his name, Drago’s teeth only dug deeper into me, trying to muffle my cries. His grunts of satisfaction as he then sucked my b***d only made my heart clench.

B***d trickled from my neck and stained the sheets beneath me. Drago, still not satisfied since my cries for Seth only continued, touched me in places Seth should only be allowed.

Drago ripped the olive green dress from my body, only leaving my bra and underwear untouched. His fangs retracted, and he licked the b***d around my wound until he was satisfied. He left the wound open, still bleeding. My grunts of pain only made him smile to show his bloodied teeth. “I will ruin you, and he won’t want what’s ruined. You were meant to be mine all along, Dove. Just submit and accept, and you will be mine forever,” he breathed huskily into my ear.

“No! Never!” I continued to scream for Seth, but it all seemed to fall on deaf ears. Seth was so close, and I couldn’t give up now. With my neck now free, and Drago looking hungrily at my body, a thought came to me. I let my body completely go limp to give him the thought of me submitting.

“Now, there is my Little Dove. Finally, letting your beloved have you.” He cooed. I just stared into his l**t-filled eyes while he looked into mine. Drago leaned into my body and took his hand and cupped my cheek. A stray tear fell down my puffy face.

“It will be over soon, and then you won’t remember him. It will be just us.” He whispered in my ear.

I nodded my head while he smiled. When he took his eyes off of mine and took off his shirt, I took this as my moment to implement what little plan I had. As his shirt still covered his head, I quickly took my leg and, with full force, hit him in his groin.

Apparently, vampires feel pain there, too.

For his moment of weakness, I took off to the door, not even bothering to find clothes to wear. I locked the door, hoping to slow him down. I ran down the corridor only to be met with dozens of vampires on the lower level with their claws drawn, waiting for the wolves to break in.

With a quick prayer, I jumped quietly down the stairs without being seen. Testing each step with my toes to not give away my position. Giving myself a mental pat on the back for being so stealthy, I quickly hid in a closet underneath the stairs and waited for my next move.

My heart leaped for joy seeing my friends storm the mansion. Before I could figure out a distraction to get them to move away from the door that leads outside, the doors burst open with wolves. The slot in the door I was peeking through showed 10 wolves coming inside.

Even being extremely excited, my strength was leaving me. I could feel warm liquid drip down my chest. I put my hand up to my neck and put pressure to slow the bleeding down. Once I saw the black, massive wolf, butterflies invaded my stomach. He was here. My mate was here.

I pushed on the closet door and fell to my knees. The stinging in my knees was nothing compared to the pain in my neck that was radiating through my body. My voice left me as soon as I tried to use it.

“Sadie! Sadie! Oh, my Goddess!” Rebecca screamed as she came to me on the floor. “She’s been bitten! Sadie, did he rape you??” Rebecca was in her human form with a large t-shirt over her body. Her eyes were wide at the state I was in, barely clothed.

“N-no, I escaped before that.” I choked. Rebecca sighed in relief and turned my neck. “s**t, did he put venom in you?” She blurted.

“I-I don’t know?” I did not know what she was talking about, and they kept me in the dark the entire time I had found out about supernaturals!

Marco, Ethan, and Nathan came running to our sides. I was quickly wrapped up in a large blanket and lay limply on the floor. I was just a rag doll, my muscles too weak from having magic on me earlier, along with the physical fighting from Drago. I was spent.

“W-here’s *cough* Seth?” I tried to speak.

“He’s coming, Little Fox, he’s coming,” Ethan said quickly.

Just as he said, Seth sat beside me and growled lowly. He had b***d on his face and body, and his veins were bulging. Even with a titanic battle with vampires, he still looked ruggedly handsome.

“Hi,” I whispered with a smile. “You came.”

“Of course I did, baby.” he breathed. “I have to suck the venom out of you, OK? I don’t know if you have any in you, but just in case, alright?” He cradled me in his warm body, and I just hummed in response, unable to nod my head in agreement.

He gently kissed my cheek and then went down to my neck, and he slowly sucked some of the b***d along with the venom from the bite I sustained earlier. He was soft and gentle as he would suck and then spit the poison onto the ground.

Seth didn’t suck for long, and once he was finished, he licked the bruised and broken skin, giving it the relief that I needed. I felt a sigh of contentment take over. My skin felt numb where he licked me.

“My saliva can help heal your wound, and it’s going to be alright.” He spoke.

Looking into my eyes as he cradled me to his chest, “I thought I lost you, baby.” Taking his hand, he wiped away a stray tear from his eyes. I loved this man more than anything.

“Seth, I love you,” I whispered. His eyes brightened, and his smile widened. I wanted to wrap my arms around his neck and k**s him senseless, but decided against it since he had me too tightly wrapped in his own arms.

“I love you too, Sadie. You will never leave my sight again.” He nuzzled me on the other side of my neck to be sure not to hurt me. As I was about to flutter my eyes closed, I remembered Diana. Her sweet words of telling me she was sorry stuck out in my mind.

“Someone needs to find Diana. She helped me.” I stuttered. Seth looked at me, confusingly.

“Go.” Marco and Nathan nodded and took off up the stairs while Seth picked me up. “I’m taking you back to the house. Sleep, baby.” He put my head in the crook of his neck while I cuddled up to him closer. The beating of his heart helped me calm myself.

Before I fell asleep, I heard a roar and a growl, and not long after, the word “mate” escaped someone’s lips.
