Chapter 203 - Urges
Leia sat up on the bed and glanced at Adrik, who was sleeping peacefully beside her. She removed his arm that was wrapped around her waist and then quietly got down from the bed.
She slipped her feet into her slippers, then grabbed her phone from the mini table and buttoned up the top of her pyjamas. She moved towards the door and pushed it open, then walked out, shutting the door behind her.
She took the elevator downstairs and strolled towards the back door, then opened it and ambled out to the backyard. Her eyes glanced around the garden, and she slowly strolled towards the white swing.
She gently sat down on it, and gradually, the swing began to rock her back and forth. She focused her eyes on the sky as though she was thinking deeply about something.
A bit far from where she sat, an unknown man clad in a blue robe stood in midair with his hands placed behind his back. His silver hair fluttered vigorously along with the wind, and his sword-shaped silver eyes stared intently at her. A few seconds passed and a grin mysteriously emerged on his red lips.
Without a word or anything, he turned around and disappeared into thin air.
Leia's eyes fluttered as she felt a very strong presence, and she hurriedly turned her head in the direction that the silhouette left from. However, she saw no one but emptiness.
Her brows creased deeply, and she stood up from the swing. Then, slowly, she began to walk towards the spot where the silhouette was before disappearing.
Her eyes darted around the area, but she still saw no one. "Hmmm." She stared for a few more seconds before turning around to proceed back into the house. Weird, she definitely felt a strong presence, and she had been near that presence before. She could feel it.
She shut the door as she stepped in and proceeded towards the living room. She took her seat on the couch and grabbed her phone from the pocket of her pyjamas. She scrolled through her contacts and dialed a number.
A few seconds passed, and the person picked up the phone.
[Luna] A female voice, which was none other than Ritas', spoke, and a half-smile emerged on Leia's face.
"I need you at the mansion tomorrow afternoon. There is something we need to discuss." She spoke in a tone that held utter seriousness.
[Oh... alright then. I will be there tomorrow.] Rita replied and Leia then said her goodbyes and hung up the phone.
She turned her phone off and stood up from the couch, then walked to the kitchen and pulled the fridge open. She glanced at the drinks inside and her eyes dwindled a bit when she spotted a red wine in between two other alcoholic wines.
Her body shuddered instantly, and she abruptly swallowed, her eyes still staring at the red wine. She slowly reached out her hand and grabbed the bottle of wine, then moved to pour it into a glass cup. She hurriedly gulped it down and, much to her surprise, she felt so satisfied with the drink, like she had never been before. 'Why?' She questioned herself and intently stared at the bottle of wine. It tasted so good that she found herself drinking glasses after glasses.
Finally, when the last drop seeped from the bottle, Leia burped and licked her lips. She then rinsed the glass cup and kept it back in its place, and then threw the bottle into the trash can.
Feeling satisfied like never before, a half-smile formed on her lips and she began to stroll towards the elevator, which took her up to the second floor, where she stepped out after the door opened.
She ambled to their room and pushed the door open, then stepped in and shut it behind her.
She moved towards Adrik on the bed and gently sat down at the edge.
She turned her head to glance at him and his hair that was scattered on the bed.
She gazed at his face for a few seconds, and before she knew it, she suddenly found herself staring intently at his neck, at a spot specifically.
Her heart thumped rapidly within her and an unfamiliar urge began to overwhelm her. She swallowed hard and abruptly used her tongue to scratch her gums which suddenly began to itch.
She shook her head and took a few deep breaths, then climbed into the bed with a smile on her lips.
She laid down beside Adrik with her face facing him, then placed her hand on his cheek. She tenderly caressed his hair and then his cheek, slowly trailing her hand down to his neck. She softly brushed her hands up and down his neck, and that urge came yet again.
Her heart began to race within her, and she swallowed to calm herself down. What the fuck is going on with her? She shut her eyes and the next moment she opened them, red specks flickered within them.
Her gums began to itch uncontrollably and, unable to take it anymore, her fangs unexpectedly elongated, resting on her lower lip.
She intently stared at Adrik's sleeping face, and an unknown glint flashed in her eyes.
[Mark him, he's ours] A voice abruptly whispered to her, and her eyes fluttered vigorously.
As though completely entranced, her eyes, which had now almost turned completely red, stared intently at Adrik's pale neck, and slowly she leaned closer to him, her eyes gazing straight at a spot.
[Mark him...] The voice spoke once again, and the urge intensified. She leaned in and tenderly kissed his neck, which had Adrik move a bit as he felt something touch his skin.
Leia gently grazed her fangs against his neck and, feeling the need to do more to satisfy her urge, she scratched her fangs on his skin, a bit more roughly this time, ready to sink her teeth in. However, that one impact had Adrik's eyes spring open and flutter vigorously.
"Little wife.." He called to her as he felt her weight on him, and as though she was snapped out of the trance, her eyes blinked vigorously and she hurriedly crawled away from Adrik.
