I groaned as I tossed in my bed.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA6pwM6eQsPf
The effects from Kaiden's blood were still causing me to be extremely thirsty, I had went through at least a few bodies worth in the past two days, but it wasn't working and Jason was concerned.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAAgIQozkgF9
"Jason go get her more blood I'll take care of her."
167Please respect copyright.PENANAFcwLIwF9gr
With no other choice Jason had to get Ben and awaken Kaiden to hopefully fix the problem.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAy7l26G5Qp7
Jason growled at Kaiden shifting his eyes back to me as he grabbed his jacket.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA3BdqpdNnke
I knew he was still angry because this wouldn't have been happening if I hadn't taken his blood.
167Please respect copyright.PENANASMtNLFmrTv
"Calm down Jason, I have Jenna no worries here. . ."
167Please respect copyright.PENANARSdmkagW0X
Jason's body relaxed somewhat and he quickly gave in,disappearing from the room.
167Please respect copyright.PENANABBwKIo685k
I pulled up the blanket wrapping it around myself.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA0J81LcaUmr
"Luna, I didn't want to tell you this in front of him, but you will need to feed in order to calm this, I'm surprised it effected you so much though. . .if I knew I wouldn't have allowed it"
167Please respect copyright.PENANAMC3TZSNmIG
Kaiden slowly walked over to the bed his eyes looking down at me with confusion, maybe even some regret if you could believe he had an ability to feel such feelings.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAqvjFnmjN5M
"Yeah well it did, and it's so. . . aggravating." I mumbled.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA3qLoKXsj9f
He scoffed and got on his knees in front of the edge of the bed.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA4DCxEPlXZE
"Be thankful that's all you feel, now come here and let me fix you."
167Please respect copyright.PENANArZparcVwHP
Suddenly his hand had his dragon talons just as the day before and he lifted his head up and dragged his talon across his throat and lifted me up towards it without any other words.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA4dv54ZnaCN
I could feel the same power radiating from him I did the day before, hesitantly I bit into his wound and began to feed.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAM4KIKnNgXE
Surprisingly very quickly my hunger began to fade, I could feel him try to gurgle words out, but I was to lost in feeding to stop.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAL4MCBg7g0M
"L-Luna, Ben's b-body can't take so much of this. . ." he managed to choke out.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAoC4yFXuVnn
I growled as I bit into him more feeling the hunger finally surpass.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAcrC5DRsJTg
The liquid turning warmer.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAPFeqHB62NY
Suddenly Kaiden's body went limp and fell onto the floor.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAAYaSvkUOgh
"Shit! Ben!"
167Please respect copyright.PENANA0VaS4w4xQH
I grabbed him and hoisted him up onto the bed and tried to find a pulse.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAXQseCNoiBV
I sighed as I found a very faint one and I watched as his body healed itself from the wound I had made.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA44lj7R1cq9
I shook his limp body and his eyes flashed open revealing Ben's blue eyes.
167Please respect copyright.PENANANXxcXqCo7S
"Water" Ben coughed out and I quickly got up and shuffled to the bathroom and filled a glass with water from the sink and brought it back to Ben who was now sitting up against the bed.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAtvnxEMM6lz
"It feels like he ripped my throat to shreds. . ." he mumbled as he took a large gulp of water.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAtWvOU1p2gs
"Well partially, I also fed from him which I'm sure didn't help."
167Please respect copyright.PENANASqua1teLe3
He winced and suddenly the door flew open causing him to be startled.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAlDj4hJ6ZgF
"I got it, I got it!" Jason rushed over to me with a giant coffee mug that smelt of blood.
167Please respect copyright.PENANARij7DYewg1
Suddenly he froze and looked at me then at Ben who was still sitting on the floor.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAAxriC1jv4e
"What happened? Luna are you hurt?"
167Please respect copyright.PENANAPhLzFIrjNV
I shook my head and Ben chuckled.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAWTBxmtQhPe
"Thanks for asking about how I am Jason, your wife just ripped through my throat, but I'm fine"
167Please respect copyright.PENANAstbcGrWSL2
Jason's eyes shifted back to me.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAZQUpgitQbm
"You what? Why?"
167Please respect copyright.PENANAjmR0mB1aaE
I took the cup from Jason and smelt the faint scent of his blood mixed with someone else's and took a small sip.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAxUsfbotnM2
"Kaiden said it'd stop, I feel fine now though I do enjoy this cup of blood, it's way more satisfying." I smiled at him.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAh3w71dhmXd
Ben scoffed.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA9iVixEjv3Z
"You almost killed me just now yet that blood is satisfying? Put my life on the line for nothing I see."
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnHBznNaeX8
I stood up and kissed Jason's cheek smiling at him more.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA1hU3uoZFMv
"Well he is mine after all, it's only natural Ben, if it makes you feel better I've killed many very easily for a feed."
167Please respect copyright.PENANAawPETejkhX
"Consider yourself lucky Ben, she was nice about it. You should go though, regardless you should rest even with Kaiden, she's weakened your aura greatly."
167Please respect copyright.PENANATnFTywgteP
"I'll show him out."
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnpaDVAaJaA
Alexander's voice suddenly boomed as he walked into the room and came over, helping Ben up and walking him out of the bedroom.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAaBeTDiuPTJ
"Are you sure you're okay?" Jason took my free hand and took it in his.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAbyPqyF9Zm5
"I'm fine, however I think I'll take a shower."
167Please respect copyright.PENANAFiniS1ucuR
He nodded and I took a big gulp from the cup, finishing the liquid.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAnyRmc0CShk
I got up and kissed his cheek.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA2EycOa3ymG
"Thank you."
167Please respect copyright.PENANAOsYLAVdmXX
He smiled and nodded.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAz1ltbiP9RB
I walked into the on suite bathroom and grabbed my white silk robe from the hook on the door and started to undress.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAb9Q6H8G9JA
I'll be honest, the past few days have been hard to grasp between learning more about Zadicus and our shared past. Then also to make matters worse I had then dealt with a strong thirst for days after.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAzyR0mX8A96
I stepped into the shower feeling the hot water roll off my back and sighed.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAP2Bmrx2711
Part of me wanted to talk to Zadicus, the other part of me wanted to just keep this to myself and see when and even if he would ever tell me himself. However my choice was unclear. It could very easily go either way, but because Zadicus and I haven't spoken really since I had escaped from him, which made the thought of approaching him very uncomfortable.
167Please respect copyright.PENANASnQIahPAhe
Although he and I could telepathically communicate, I had blocked him out that very night I left, without realizing it. Once I had realized it, I have been keeping him out since. . .
I splashed the hot water on my face and started to wash my hair.
Part of me had started to worry that if I had let him in I wouldn't ever be able to shut him back out. Maybe the same thing could be set about letting him in. Did I know how to anymore?
I shook my head and rinsed my hair and turned off the water, stepping out of the shower and grabbed the towel on the counter drying myself off, putting on my robe.
I heard the opening theme song of The Munsters come on in the other room and I smiled to myself. I tossed my old clothes into the hamper along with my towels and walked back into the bedroom to find a handsome, shirtless Jason lying on the bed, watching the TV.
"I put on our favorite, thought you might want to relax before you tried on dresses with Alexander."
167Please respect copyright.PENANAVUuibGSQXI
Jason's eyes looked over to me away from the TV and smiled.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAvjWMiFAiAE
"I do indeed love that show, thank you sweetheart."
167Please respect copyright.PENANA5moPH2LU6V
I walked over to the walk in closet and sighed trying to find something to wear out of the sea of black clothes and the few pieces of color popping out.
Now don't get me wrong there was plenty to choose from, but it just seemed so silly to worry about it when I was just going to be shimmied into a million dresses in just an hour. I instead walked over to the small undergarments dresser and took out a black lace thong and a matching bra, quickly putting them on and slipped my robe back on and walked out of the closet.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAD2Tm5Ne9Hf
"Thought you were changing?"
I shrugged and sat on the bed beside him.
"I'm going to be in and out of dresses anyway, seems troublesome. . ."
He chuckled pulling me closer and I laid my head on his shoulder and watched the TV.
"Did you decide on your suit already?"
Men always had it easy with formal wear, it was either a suit or a tux, and then it came down to color and. . .brand I guess?
"Indeed I have, just need to decide on the color of tie."
"Alexander said he had a dress in silver, gold, red and green for me to try, I will say I think I want silver this year. . ."
"Then I will say probably a silver tie then." He kissed the top of my head.

167Please respect copyright.PENANArWZDMAgkDY
167Please respect copyright.PENANAHP4U8lltfN
I heard a knock at the door.
"Ms. Luna are you ready to try on your dresses for the ball?" Alexander's voice came from the door.
I sat up and got off the bed and walked to the door and opened it.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA0mzV6YWjpM
"I am, sorry I figured it would just be easier to wear this so I could change faster and get this over with."
167Please respect copyright.PENANAq989B9rVXP
Alexander seemed to be very tense and keeping eye contact with me.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAEs9NrMlVv8
"That's fine, I'll request it's just you and I then."
"Alexander make sure they're aware, that if I even smell anyone's arousal from up here I will take care of things myself!"
I heard Jason yell from the bedroom and I laughed to myself.
"You got it boss!" Alexander shook his head smiling and turned around and started walking down the hallway.
We quickly arrived in the parlor room Alexander opened the door for me and I nodded and walked in tightening my robe as I noticed three of our other guards Lucas, Matthew and Jonathan.
"All of you out, and unless you want your arms detached I would not look at the Lady, I was told to inform you the King will take care of you himself."
Their eyes widened and they quickly shuffled out of the room without another word.
I laughed quietly to myself.
Maryann, one of the maids, popped out her head from behind the folding screen.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAfLIld1ZsuD
"Does that mean I am dismissed as well Sir?" she almost whispered as she kept her eyes away from me.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAgRwoJdKiOE
I could smell her anxiety.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAf5aClBnquR
"No, you're fine Maryann. Ladies I'll leave you to it."
167Please respect copyright.PENANAV7WE6wxrxt
Maryann nodded and I walked behind the folding screen.
Maryann had been with us for about 10 years, I didn't unfortunately get to know her well because she always seemed so skittish around Jason and I and usually kept to herself.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAjQMmOjUlzQ
She had red hair that was cut up to her shoulder with side swept bangs. She had soft hazel red eyes and fair skin and was petite.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA6drQp6EOtP
"How are you today my Queen?"
167Please respect copyright.PENANAjqMNheQtWd
She asked quietly as I took off my robe.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAC2CmxSFZ8T
"Feeling much better thank you, how are you today Maryann?"
She handed me a longer silver jeweled tight fitted dress with white sparkled lace. It had a V shaped neck and no sleeves. The silver jewels formed in a V down the dress and shaping along the V.
It was perfect.
Maryann unzipped it and I stepped into it and pulled it up,letting Maryann zip it up.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA6rlJLlivWF
"White or silver shoes?"
167Please respect copyright.PENANA6Tp4bTvvD1
She asked as she looked at my dress.
167Please respect copyright.PENANA29cLR6kCo4
"Hmm, white."
She pulled out a beautiful pair of white four inch heels with silver metal flowers twisted around the heel.
167Please respect copyright.PENANAqNDj1ph28h
"These are gorgeous. . ." I whispered as I took them and put them on.
"If I may say my Queen you look stunning in it."
She smiled at her work.
"Thank you Maryann, Alexander what do you think?" I asked as I stepped out from behind the folding screen.
He looked me over and raised his eyebrow and smiled.
"That's the one indeed, Jason will be pleased I'm sure as well."
"This year has been the easiest one yet, smart choice showing me this one first Maryann thank you."
I smiled at her and she nodded.
I walked back behind and took off the dress and shoes and was handed my pair of high waisted black pants and pulled over a red lace long sleeved shirt.
I stepped back out and followed Alexander to the door.
"Thank you Maryann! You can have the rest of the evening off." I yelled before leaving the room.
"Done already?" I was surprisingly greeted by Jason as he was walking through the hallway.
"Maryann did a terrific job as always, handed me the perfect one first. Even down to the shoes."
He smiled.
167Please respect copyright.PENANATkSFxficl8
He was still not wearing a shirt, but he'd changed into a pair of black jeans. I bit my lip looking up his gorgeous muscles and chest.
"Alexander care to join us for a drink?"
I snapped out of it and stepped beside Jason and looked to Alexander.
"Sounds good to me. After you."
I took Jason's hand in mine and walked down the stairs to the library, grabbed a glass and went into the fridge grabbing a bottle of animal blood, starting to pour it into the glass.
"Mm, breaking out the good stuff tonight hmm?" Jason snaked his arm around my waist and I blushed handing him the glass and pecked his lips.
"Well I figure the three of us are going to have a a troublesome next two days, so might as well."
I started to pour Alexander's drink and handed it to him.
"Cheers to that, everything is all set up security and setup wise."
Alexander lifted up his glass as did Jason as they clinked their glasses and smiled taking a sip.
"Well done."
I leaned against the bar and looked up the ceiling.
"So humans this year. . .won't this be interesting. . ." Alexander swished his drink around as he softly spoke.
"You worried Alexander?" Jason asked surprised.
"Not worried, just interested in how the humans will act. . ."
I stopped looking at the ceiling and looked at both of them.
"Aren't they all humans that are upper class and more. . .aware I guess?"
Alexander nodded.
"Still, it's different to hear than witness. Especially with all those silly books now. . ." he scoffed.
"Relax, enjoy yourself tomorrow night too." Jason placed a hand on Alexander's shoulder giving him a light shove.
Alexander cleared his throat.
"You two are my main priority, especially a night like Friday, I will have fun tonight instead."
Jason chuckled and shook his head finishing his glass and grabbed the bottle filling it up again.
"Well, if I can get you to relax any night it's a miracle so cheers to that!" Jason nodded to Alexander and took a big gulp.
"What about you Jason. . . are you worried?" Alexander looked puzzled with how Jason seemed to be acting over this.
"The only worries I have for the humans is if my wife or myself decide to turn this into a feast."
He paused.
"Anyone else who tries to ruin this night? I'll take it upon myself."
Alexander looked like he was about to drop his glass at Jason's remark,but managed a grip on it.
"I suppose you're right then, there are no problems."
