Lover Sacrificed - Chapter 41

- So, how are you feeling?

- Good. A bit nauseous sometimes, but other than that, same as always.

- Great, I just need a little blood, to run a few more tests.

Nalla frowned but extended her arm so Doc Jane could take her blood.

- How about emotionally? Are you feeling down, depressed, happy?

- I have my moments. A bit of everything I guess.

- Ok. It’s very important that you remain calm and stress free. As much as possible of course.

- Yeah, I’m trying to keep myself busy and distracted so I’m not thinking about what’s happening in only a month, but sometimes it just overwhelms me you know.

- It’s absolutely normal for your hormones to play up, but try not to dwell on things. You have a little life inside you that depends on you.

- I know. And I’m trying, I promise.

- Good. Ok well, I’ll come back next month for your next checkup. Call me if you need me before that, ok?

- Will do. Thanks Jane.

She hugged the ghostly form of her doctor and watched her vanish before her eyes. She picked up the phone and decided to call her friend Mariah.

- Hey girl.

- Nalla! Oh my God, how are you? Ohhh I miss you so much! Where are you, can I come see you? There are so many things we need to catch up on!

Nalla smiled as her friend rambled on and on. Actually, she did need a girls night with Mariah, Jhade and Hope. They were her best friends. Surely they could keep her address and more importantly, her condition, a secret?

- I know, I miss you guys too.

- When can we see each other?  I mean, Jhade has gone into hiding, locked up in her room with John all day. Hope has signed up to fighting class with all the trainees and brothers, I mean, seriously? I’m starting to hang out with Janie and Sandra these days.

- Really?

Nalla was surprised. Janie was Butch and Marissa’s daughter and Sandra, also known as Wellesandra, was Tohr and Autumn’s little girl. They had both been pretrans when she had left the mansion.

- Yeah, we gotta stick together you know. Especially with all the crazy stuff that has been going on around here lately.

Don’t ask. Don’t ask. She had to remind herself over and over again.

- Can you, I mean, can we trust them? Little Janie was quite the snitch back when she was a kid. In a cute way, but still.

- Oh she grew out of that. Got a few secrets of her own now.

Mariah giggled.

- Sandra won’t say a peep, she’s still a shy and quiet little mouse.

- Do you think…

- Yeah?

- …would your parents let you out of the house for a few hours?

- I guess, as long as we bring a brother. Why?

- I think I need you guys. All of you.

Nalla playfully nipped at his hipbone, making him thrust his hips up. She giggled and he loved the sound of it. This was exactly where she belonged. With him. In his bed.

She straddled him, accepting him inside her easily.

God, but he loved being inside her.

He loved her warmth, how slick and wet she was for him.

She rode him slowly, prolonging the moment, savoring every minute.

She looked deep into his eyes with her fangs completely extended. He cupped her face and she nuzzled her hand with her cheek.

Nalla bent down, still moving her hips and he could feel the love all around them. She was his everything. His pyrocant. His rahlman.

He hissed as she licked his neck and…

No! He couldn’t let her bite him! He was sick. She would get sick. He couldn’t let her get sick!

But she was somehow stronger than he was and soon, she was moaning as she drank from him.

Finally she let go and smiled down at him.

He sighed in relief. She was fine, she was ok.

Except, she wasn’t. She frowned as she looked at him and just like that, disintegrated to dust, right before his eyes.
