Christian was laughing and having a good time with his mate, Lissa, on the way to the club. I just growled and shook my head at them; somehow they convinced me to come with them to this club to celebrate my birthday
You see Christian is my younger cousin, but he had found his mate much earlier than I have. He found her two years ago and claimed her that same day, while I, on the other hand, am still waiting to claim mine. Vampires tend to find their mates right after they mature, somewhat after their 40th year since there birth, while the royal family's members tend to find theirs after their 100th birthday. Christian claimed Lissa just after he turned 100. While I'm just about to turn 150.
Pulling up at the club I start to feel the pull again. I have been feeling this pull for the last two years just after Christian claimed Lissa, but I was never able to find the source of the pull, but I knew that it had something to do with Lissa. Sometimes I saw Lissa's eyes become a beautiful brown, Lissa never seemed to quite as normal as she appeared to be. Yes, she did have the power of spirts, but something about her was just always off. Christian never noticed, to him Lissa was the most perfect creature on the planet.
Getting out of the car we slowly move to the club, music was blasting out of the door. Letting the guardians go in first we wait for the all clear before Christian and Lissa made their way in. following after them I get hit with so many different scents as well overly louder music. Lissa was walking behind Christian looking down, but she lifted her head when a group walked past us. Like always Christian didn't notice like always, he was making sure that no danger came to his mate. Lissa smiled at the girl before looking down again.
Just as the group passed us an amazing smell hit me, it smelled just like roses and chocolate. Stopping I growled out the one word that I loved the most in the world
"Mate!" the world has never sounded more beautiful to me. turning I try to follow the sent but humans keep blocking me from getting to my beauty. The last thing I saw of her was her long brown hair blowing in the wind as she made her way out of the club in a way to short dress. Growling the humans in front of me start panicking, pushing through them I make my way out. Still following her scent I try to chase after the car she was in, but something pulled me back. Looking behind me I see that it was Christian who was holding me.
"What the hell are you doing?" I growled at him trying to break free, on a normal day I would have easily broken out of his hold, but I couldn't focus on anything other than the need to claim my mate.
"Calm down, you will find her tomorrow" he growled back at me. Looking back in the direction the car went I let Christian pull me back to our car. Lissa gave me a small smile, it was meant to calm me down, but it only made me angrier.
Walking into my room I slam the door closed behind me before moving to the shower. Striping as I went I tried to calm down but every muscle in my body wanted to go to my mate, but I couldn't track her the normal way for some strange reason. And it really made me mad. Getting into the shower I try to see her face. You see because I'm of the royal family I have more than one power. One of my powers is to see anything or anyone I have the scent of. Growling I try to track her again, but again I just met a blank wall that was covered in bloody red roses. Laughing evilly I get out of the shower, I dry myself before getting into my bed. Closing my eyes I focused on another power.
Opening my eyes I see that I'm standing in front of a bed. In this bed laid my greatest treasure in the whole world, my mate. She was sound asleep, she seemed so peaceful. Purring I try to touch her, but suddenly she sat up looking scared. Moving back into the shadows I see her looking around the room. Finally, she spotted me and froze. She looked away from me and to the door. Growling I move out of the shadows and purred mine. She jumped out of the bed and ran. Following her, to the woods, I choose to play the cat and mouse game with her. She tried to hide but I knew where she was and what she was doing. Teasing her I walk slowly around the tree she was climbing up. I made sure she knew I was still there. When she reached the top of the tree I jump quietly to it and sat in front of her. I still couldn't see her face but I could easily smell her.
"Found you" I whispered in her ear smiling. She opened her eyes before screaming.
Sitting up I growl, someone woke her pulling her again away from me. Getting up I slowly get dressed before moving to the sitting room. Lissa and Christian were already there. Lissa was sitting reading a book as Christian played with her hair. Jealousy bubbled in me at the sight of them. Christian looked up at me, before pointing to the door. Turning to the door I see a news reporter. Nodding I follow them, planning the message I was going to give my mate in my head
Well it took me a whole 5 hours before I lost it and hit a wall
"Where the hell could she be?" I growled
"Dimitri you need to calm down. Being like this won't bring her to you" Christian said calmly. I hissed at him before leaving the room. Walking to the gym I try to stop myself from breaking anything ells. Walking into the gym I remove my duster and shirt before moving to the punching bag. I don't know how long I was busy, but it did help me a little bit to relax. Stopping I grabbed a towel before moving to the shower.
"Have they heard anything?" I asked walking into the sitting room. Christian looked up from the TV, Lissa was fast asleep and mumbling something about 'Rose don't run'
"There is about a 100 calls. Here are the files," Christian said giving me a box full of files. Mumbling thanks I pick the box and move to my room.
Sitting down on the bed I dry my hair before throwing the towel away. Picking up the first file I begin looking through them. One thing I knew for sure was that none of them was her. Growling I throw each of them across the room.
"Jess I'm hungry," I growled pacing the room.
"Yes sir," Jess bowed leaving the room in a hurry. Cracking my neck I pick up one file, before ripping it apart. There was a soft knock at the door
"Come in," I growl turning to the door. A girl walked in like she owns the way, she has short brown hair.
"Hello my love," the girl all but purred.
"Why aren't you happy to see me? I am your mate after all," She purred moving closer to me. I almost laughed, she really believed that I was her mate. Well, she is going to learn fast. I moved to her playing along with her. Taking her in my arms I bend her neck to the side. She looked happy, but she if she knew what was going to happen she would have run. Quicker than light I bite down on her neck and begin drinking. She tried to scream but I covered her mouth and continued to drink her blood. I drained her of all her blood in the matter of a few seconds. Dropping her to the floor, I wipe my mouth. Jess opened the door with a glass of blood.
"That won't be needed. Please clean this up for me," I ordered moving away from the dead girl.
"Why must you always make a mess," Adrian asked leaning against the door frame.
"She asked for it. so can you help me?" I asked him with a smile. See Adrian was a great tracker as that was his main power.
"This her?" he asked giving me a sketch. Taking in I freeze, the sketch looked so real almost like it was a photo
"Well from that look I would say it is. So what are you going to do next?" Adrian asked with a cocky smile. Looking at the photo I spot the bracelet she is wearing. It looks so familiar, but I couldn't place where I have seen it.
"What is that?" I asked pointing to the bracelet
"Why don't you go and ask Lissa. She has the same one," Adrian smiled walking down the hall
"Want to explain that to me?" I asked Lissa giving her the photo
"Rose," Lissa said happily making me growl. Christian got up and pulled Lissa closer to him
"What is it now?" He growled at me
"She knows who my mate is she had known her all along," I stated
"Lissa is that true?" Christian asked her making her face him
"Yes I know her, but I really didn't know she was Dimitri's mate. If I did I would have told him," Lissa pleaded to look scared. Christian was always so soft with Lissa, she could almost always do what she wanted
"Where is she now?" Christian asked her calmly
"By now probably in Portland. If I knew she was your mate Dimitri, I would have told you straight away I promise." Lissa cried tears running down her cheeks.
"Come on. You are going to show me where she lives," I growl before leaving the room.
"She lives her with Alberta her adoptive mom," Lissa said pointing to the house. Looking at it I wasn't happy. My mate only deserved the best in the world and that house was not the best thing- it was a really okay house, actually better than most- and I was planning on giving it to her.
"She won't be home," Lissa said just as I opened the door.
"Then where will she be?" I all but growled. Lissa moved closer to Christian, who looked bored
"At school. She has after-school activities?" Lissa said looking out the window. Nodding at the driver we slowly take off. It wasn't long before we were outside the school. Getting out of the car, I take a deep breath. Smelling that wonderful sent of roses and chocolate I smile before following it.
I don't own any of the character, there all the property of R. Mead. Thank you for reading, the votes, the comments and reviews.
So I had really fun writing in Dimitri's point of view, what did you guys think?
