Chapter 53. Backup date


    Avalyn


    "Oh dear, sweet Moon Goddess! You look extra beautiful tonight." Dimitri said in a british ent and


    grinned as he offered me his hand.


    After what happened yesterday, I had been wary of Dimitri all day today. He finally got tired of me


    running away from him or avoiding him and confronted me. He taught me that a good Master is the one


    who doesn''t back out from his words. Or the ves may take advantage of it. But once the punishment


    is served, everything is forgiven. He even made me talked to his ves or Rose and Sunflower as he


    called them.


    They said they were honoured to have been punished by him. And he even gifted them multiple


    orgasms after that. I didn''t understand that logic. Were orgasms enough to let go of such a harsh


    punishment?


    That''s when Dimitri told me that most Masters don''t let their ves orgasm. Ever. And it''s mostly for


    their own sadistic amusement. And to get another reason to punish them when they do cum.


    Rose and Sunflower said that they hadn''t cum without a punishment in four years. Which made me


    more sad. But I didn''t have it in me to be upset with Dimitri anymore. I understood. And he is family.


    And family is everything to me. I forgave him. And Nik. I finally realised that they did it all for me.


    I ced my hand in his and chuckled when he kissed the back of it. He was dressed in a smart all


    ck suit with a red tie. And for the first time, I saw his hairbed to the side.


    "Why, thank you, kind Sir." I did a bad impression of an english ent.


    "No." He made a constipated face. "Don''t try that ever again."


    "You''re right." I snorted and put my arm in his as he led me out of our quarters and towards the


    ballroom.


    Tonight was the night of the Ball and the day we had to charm everyone and try to help dimir.


    "Niki said he would have liked to pick you himself but he had some pressing matters to attend to."


    Dimitri said.


    "What happened?" Was everything alright?


    "Oh-uh it''s nothing. Just the usual." He said but the way his arm stiffened, I knew it was not nothing.


    "Okay." I said. I''ll probe moreter. From what I''d learn from Nik was that Vampires have a more


    enhanced hearing than werewolves. I didn''t want anyone to listen to our talks anyways.


    "Don''t you have a date, Dimitri?" I made small talk as I looked around. Something didn''t feel right.


    "I do. You''re right next to me." He said as his eyes moved around. That means he senses it too.


    ''Something isn''t right.''?I mind-linked him.


    ''Maybe its nothing. Continue talking. Stay close.'' He replied.


    "And here I thought you would have charmed a girl in the twenty four hours you have been here." I


    pped his arm jokingly.


    "Are you doubting my skills?" His eyebrows rose.


    "I''m just saying." I shrugged. We entered a long hallway and a man was walking towards us from the


    opposite direction.


    Maybe he is just passing through.


    "Well I can guarantee you that I can charm a girl tonight. I''m feeling lucky." He said and pulled me


    behind him in a sh.


    Dizzy by the sudden movement, I saw the vampire lying on the floor, bleeding over the carpet and his


    heart in Dimitri''s hand. He was holding a dagger.


    "What was that?" I whispered, shocked by what happened.


    "He was about to attack you." He said as he looked at the to ends of the hallways.


    A group of vampires had blocked our way from each side of the wall.


    My heart thudded and Dimitri pushed me against the wall, his back to me as he looked left and right.


    ''Can I use my magic?'' I asked him.


    ''Use it it when it''s absolutely necessary. They might have someone else watching their back. Use your


    dagger if someonees too close to you. I''ve already mind-linked Niki.'' He told me.


    ''Okay.'' I whispered.


    The vampires were running towards us and I took out the dagger from its sheath.


    There were too many and Dimitri can''t possibly fight against all of them. I''ll have to do something.


    "I''m going to fight." I slid from behind him and faced the vampiresing from the left while he faced


    the onesing from the right.


    I said a quick mental thanks to Niki to make me train everyday. And for not tolerating me cking off


    even though I am his mate. In fact, he went extra hard on me.


    A vampire was about to bite my head off but I ducked and impaled him with the dagger and shed the


    other that just appeared in the stomach as I removed it. One grabbed my arm and yanked, making me


    stumble in my high heels.


    I extended my ws and swiped his face, causing him to scream. He had four shes of my nails on


    his face and I think I blinded him.


    Arms circled around my face, making me scream and then suddenly I fell on the ground because the


    man behind me released me.


    I looked up to see Dimitri holding the heart of the Vampire who had tried to kidnap me.


    I saw one about to attack Dimitri from the back and I threw the dagger that whizzed past his face and


    lodged in the vampire''s eye.


    I sighed a breath of relief but Dimitri jumped over my head and caught the throat of one vampire but


    another came from behind him and was about make a swipe for his head so I brought my wolf forward


    and pounced on him, tearing his head off with my teeth.


    Dimitri turned around and gripped my neck but realised it was me and released me. A few more were


    left and I flicked my wrists, extending my ws.


    I was angry. Angry that we had done nothing and they were still trying to kill us.


    Where is Nik?


    Two vampires came at me together and I ran towards them and ducked before they could touch me.


    But they were quicker and one circled his arms around my waist and over my arms to I couldn''t move


    them.


    I thrashed in his arms and I saw the other going towards Dimitri. He was already fighting thest three


    vampires together on his own.


    "Watch out." I yelled, wanting him to know one was running towards him from behind.


    I thrashed more and dug my ws deep into his thighs.


    "Arrggghh." He screamed and threw me on the floor.


    My heard pounded as I my head hit the floor hard. I think I split my head open because I saw a pool of


    blood forming on the carpet.


    He was about to pounce on me and I turned around, trying to scramble away but he caught hold of my


    dress, yanking so hard that the material of the dress ripped open, leaving me only in the upper corset


    part of the dress, panties and stockings.


    I growled.


    I kicked him away, making him fall a couple of feet back.? Hended on the ground but got up and


    started running towards me. I searched around me for a weapon but found nothing.


    I took my heels off and threw it off at him in a second, lodging the pointy end in his chest. But he hissed


    and took it out, throwing it off him and charged at me with more anger.


    I stood up on shaky legs. My head has taken too much of a blow to think coherently.


    Heat spread where I had touched it and I immediately retracted my hand.


    Blood. There was so much blood on my hand.


    My head spun.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    "Avalyn." Dimitri called.


    I turned around just in time to catch the dagger he threw at me.


    Yes.


    I stuck the dagger in his stomach just before he was about to bite my head off.


    I heaved a breath and turned around to look at Dimitri.


    He was on the floor, with a vampire''s hand in his chest. Tears rose in my eyes when I realised his was


    holding Dimitri''s heart in his hand.


    "Drop the dagger ande with me and he lives." He threatened.


    "No. Run Avalyn." Dimitri looked at me, his eyes pitch ck as his wolf was at the forefront.


    I stumbled on my feet. My head was hurting like hell and I think I was about to faint any second.


    But I can''t. I know he will kill Dimitri otherwise.


    First Mikhail. Now Dimitri. I can''t let this happen.


    I brought my hands up and froze the vampire, and concentrated on his hands, making him curl his


    fingers from around Dimitri''s heart.


    I looked at Dimitri and the frozen man. I saw everything double but I forced myself to concentrate. I


    slowly forced the man''s hand out of Dimitri''s chest, not letting him cause any more damage than he has


    already caused.


    But he still needs help. I don''t know how I will heal him. And even if someone kills this vampire, Dimitri


    will bleed out before he gets the medical attention he needs. Only Nik can do something. I know he


    can.


    My head hurt and I couldn''t stand any longer. My knees gave out and I fell on the floor on my hands


    and knees.


    My vision darkened further and I think I''m about to pass out.


    But I forced myself to be awake.


    Nik. P-please....


    I can''t do this.


    But if I let go, the man will kill Dimitri.


    I need to stay awake till Nikes.


    Where are you Nik?


    I need you.


    I don''t even have the strength to move my finger. Let alone use my powers.


    But I can''t let Dimitri die. Not Dimitri. He''s family. We don''t give up on family.


    My eyes drooped.


    I forced them to open again. A felt a trail of blood trickle down the side of my face.


    My eyes drooped again. But I somehow managed to keep the man frozen.


    My eyes drooped again and thest thing I saw was the man crack a smirk.


    Shit.
