1600s
Two weeks later Bella saw Alistair standing outside of her territory again, this time with a human at his feet.
"I've brought you a gift, Bella." Alistair said, as smoothly as he could. He had spent his two weeks away from her planning and locating as many delectable smelling humans as he could. Bella had to admit that even with her self-control the human did smell absolutely mouth watering. She turned her nose up at him and the human, who looked like he was knocked unconscious. "If you don't drink him he'll just go to waste. I got him just for you."
"I don't want anything from you other than your absence." Bella said while growling.
"Are you sure?" Alistair asked as he placed his foot on the human's head.
"Completely." Before she could even finish the word Alistair smashed the human's head underfoot. "You know you never even told me your name." Bella said, more to distract herself from the blood that was pouring out than from curiosity.
"Ah, sorry, I don't usually interact with others-"
"Clearly."
"I'm Alistair, your future mate." His confidence annoyed her so she went to leave. "Such a waste." Alistair said, almost in a teasing manner as the body cooled and he scooped it up. "No matter though, I'll be back tomorrow with a fresh one for you."
Sorry for the slow updates. The next 10 days will have spotty updates due to lots of things needing my attention. Hope you liked the chapter!
