Holding Tight, Letting Go
Note – This story is a little sad in some parts so you may need a tissue. It takes place the next morning after Dyson, Tamsin and Bo found Kenzi. Dyson is still under the doubt but its wearing off and Tamsin is a little OOC along with Kenzi. Bo is just worried about Kenzi at the moment and doesn't want to think about Trick told her. Also it will be from First person POV and 3rd Pov. And that Becket is a made up town... Just to let ya know...
Also – Like Dyson has his wolf, Kenzi now has her vampire side...
Kenzi's thoughts; Dyson's thoughts
Vampire side's thoughts; Wolf sides thoughts
Chapter 8: Kenzi's Recovery & A Discovery
(Kenzi's Pov – 7:00 AM – Back Room Of The Dal)
The first thing I noticed was the scent in the air. It wasn't the musty scent of the motel room, I was in. Also there was a wolfy scent along with those of Lucia, Macy and Zombie. I opened my eyes, to look up into blue stormy eyes of a certain wolf man. I had to swallow because of the distance between our faces. I could also smell Bo and Lauren along with Trick, Tamsin and one other scent I never wanted to smell ever again. Blakes' my brother. Hissing I tried to sit up but Dyson placed a hand on my shoulder while shaking his head.
"You are to stay lying down." His eyes were hard but there was a softness underneath.
He knows! Was the only thing that was going through my mind.
Of course, he knows. I heard for the first time. I wondered what was happening now. Was I going crazy? No, I am your other half, like Dyson's wolf is his. You have me. Call me Nezi if you wish.
O.K. I thought blinking a couple of times. "How long have I been here?" I felt that my throat was scratchy. Lauren handed me a cup of water. I downed it as soon as it touched my lips.
"Almost 20 hours." Bo said stepping up beside me on the other side. "Why did you run Kenzi?" Her tone made it seem she was asking a innocent question but that wasn't the reason.
I shook my head. "I cant get you involved." I tried to get up again but this time I heard a growl that was very familiar.
"MacKenzi, you will stay in bed!" Zombie came through the door with his eyes blazing red. He was pissed. "I told you that you needed to come back here but you ran away. They know MacKenzi. Everything." His eyes narrowed.
For a moment he looked like my father then it clicked. "You're his brother." I snapped, my eyes flashing.
"Zobura Roman, your uncle on your father side." Zombie bowed which caused Dyson to snarl and step in front of me.
"I know you." Dyson was shaking so I reached forward and took his hand. It seemed like the right thing to do. "You fought with Drake in the wars." He snapped, still standing in front of me.
Zombie nodded. "True, I did fight with my brother but we have different views as the way things should run." He looked at me. "When I met Kenzi, the first time, I knew that she would bring an end to the war and I was right. All we need to do now is keep her from Wolves and Vampire's til she gives birth."
"And that is in how many months?" Bo asked, her arms crossed and her eyes going from Hale, to Trick, then to Dyson. "Well?"
"It will depend on which parent the child takes after." Hale popped up. "I read in some of the old tablets that if a wolf and vampire do get together they will take the months from each species, add those numbers together then divide the new number by 2. How many months does it take Celtic wolves?" He looked at Dyson.
"3 months." Dyson replied as he kept a hold of my hand. I did have to admit that it felt nice to have him near.
"Vampire's take no more than one month to give birth." Zombie answered. "However, it takes two months for half human half vampire." His eyes rested on mine.
I tried to do the math. So 3 plus 2 would equal 5 then divide that by 2 would be 2.5 months. My eyes grew wide as I felt a movement inside of me. My hand, that wasn't holding Dyson, went directly to my stomach. I couldn't believe that I could already feel my child moving. I didn't notice I was crying until Dyson turned and wiped a tear off my cheek.
"Are you ok?" He asked his voice solemn. I knew that we would have to talk but not with everyone around. "Are you in pain?" His eyes were searching mine.
"No, I just felt the baby move." I whispered looking up into his eyes.
His eyes grew soft as he covered the hand on my stomach with his. I couldn't tear my eyes away from his because I noticed that he was looking at me with such devotion, that I had only seen directed at Bo. I smiled shyly as I cut my eyes away from his and noticed that everyone had left us alone. When I turned my eyes back to Dyson I noticed he was still staring at me.
"Why did everyone leave us alone?" I couldn't believe my voice came out in a squeak.
Dyson chuckled as he sat on the edge of the bed, facing me. "Because we need to talk." He was still holding my hand while his other hand was still covering mind. "Why did you run?" His eyes were no longer the soft but looked rather hurt.
"Like I said before I didn't want to involve you." I sighed leaning my head back. "Before I even saw you that night, one of my other uncle's showed and told me my father wanted to speak to me. I told him no but he tried to force me. I ended up killing him then I noticed you coming out of the Dal. I was scared and thought that I would be safer with you then walking on my own." I stopped closing my eyes.
"You could have told us." Dyson's voice was low and stern. "We would have protected you." He squeezed both of my hands.
I opened my eyes and shook my head. "No, Dyson, you wouldn't." I was trying to be strong but with him holding my hand it was making it rather hard to do. "I knew what I was before but I kept it from you, from all of you. When I came into my powers, that night, I never thought we would be doing anything. I didn't think anything of it til I woke up and ran. I then started to feel sick." I shook my head. "I didn't know I was pregnant until I stopped three towns over."
"We found the place." Dyson whispered looking at me. "I even found the test but that wasn't what told me. You were in heat when we were together. It was also the wolf mating season." There was a fire in his eyes I only saw that night we were together.
"Wh-What are you s-saying?" I stammered out, confused at why he was looking at me like that.
Dyson's eyes flashed gold. "Ye are our mate, lass." He said huskily as he leaned forward. "Thee only thing we 'ave yet ta du is mark each other." As soon as he was close enough he pushed forward and captured my lips with his.
I couldn't help but moan into his mouth as my hands found their way into his hair. When we pulled apart I noticed that he was breathing as heavy as me. I couldn't help but smile as his forehead layed against mine, both of us trying to catch our breath. I was lying on my back with each of Dyson's hands on either side of my head. I could tell that he was trying to be calm but his eyes were hungry with desire. I knew that he wanted to finish the mating process and until then he would feel the need to be near me as much as possible.
"I want ye." His eyes were completely gold now. "Now." His voice was low and it sent a shiver up my spine.
"But Bo, Lauren, Hale and the others." I tried to find reason why I shouldn't do this but I could tell that wasn't going to stop him.
He sent me a smirk as he stood and walked over to the door and locked it from the inside. As he turned around I had to swallow because of the fact he started to undress as he stalked back over to me. Peeling piece by piece of the clothing off as he made his way over to me. When he finally got down to his pants he unbuttoned them but just kept them that way. I had to swallow again because of my mouth watering like crazy. He smirked because I knew he could smell my arousal.
"Are ya wet yet lassie?" He purred as he crawled up onto the bed that I was lying on. "Cuz' I can smell ye." He ran his nose down my jaw and onto my neck causing me to turn my head slightly.
"We..." It seemed I couldn't catch my breath. When I looked into his eyes I instantly felt wet because his eyes were darker than before.
"Why?" He pulled back with a frown on his face. I could tell that he was angry.
I tried to spit the words out but I couldn't so I did the next best thing. I turned my eyes away from him. I didn't want to see him if I ever could spit the words out.
"WHY?" I heard snarled into my ear. His breath made me shiver. "Tell me!" He ordered as he turned my face to his. I could see the hurt there but I just couldn't.
"Because you're Bo's mate, not mine." I whispered leaning my head back and waiting for the door to open and then slam but it never came.
(3rd Person Pov – Becket, New York)
Lilith stood in the exact same place that her nephew had been standing however she could smell wolf and three half breeds scents. Snarling, she rushed forward and ran into the room where the scents were located. She looked around the room and stopped when her eyes spotted the bed. She could sense something there. As she walked over she could see that there was an indent where someone was curled up.
"So someone gut tu 'er." Lilith hissed as she run out of the room and into the night.
She needed to get to her brother to let him know that his son had been taken as well as his daughter and she was saved which meant the vile creature in her womb would also be alive. Lilith spat as she ran trying to keep bad vibes away. It was an old custom in her village when she was turned. It did not take her long before she was in the town she smelled her brothers scent the thickest. As she passed by a darkened house she stopped when she heard noises inside. Frowning and narrowing her eyes, Lilith made her way around to the back and found the door open and her brothers scent was even more enticing because he was feeding.
Lilith moved with the stealth of a cat as she made her way through the house until she came to the room her 'brother' was in. He was the one that changed her thus she was his sister by venom. However they were not venom by blood, although they shared it plenty of times. She stepped in lightly letting him know another vampire was in the room. She felt his stop when he was doing and then she was pinned against the wall with a very surprised Drake holding her by the neck. His eyes narrowed as he sniffed her and found that she had been in Becket.
"So you have seen?" Drake hissed quietly as he let her go and turning back into the room.
Lilith followed but more slowly. "I 'ave." She told him as she watched him arrange the bodies on the bed the pulled the blanket over them. "Du you know who?" She leaned against the wall, with her shoulder.
"I do." Drake turned and grabbed her arm. "Let's go some place else and we can finish this conversation." He smirked smelling his 'sister's' arousal. He had truly missed her after all these centuries.
Lilith nodded as she rubbed her cheek against his arm. "Uf course, my darlin' brother." She purred as she smirked up at him.
Her latest fling had lost her interest thus she decided to come see her brother little did she knew her coming her was for the best. Every vampire around could hear the whispers of the upcoming vampire werewolf war but this time it would be the vampires and werewolves against only two people. Drake was sad if his daughter was killed but he knew it was needed in order to keep things going the way things had been for the past years.
