~ DELANEY's POV ~
Knowing he can read my mind, I tried my best not to think of anything and stared at him.
"Hmph, I guess you have so, I want you to show me."
Show him?
How will I do that?
He gave me a toothy grin exposing his fangs which means he read my mind. "It's easy darling, you pick the one you're comfortable using, then show me how you did it."
I raised my chin, "What happens if I don't do it?"
"What happens?" His icy grey eyes went to my neck, sending chills down my spine.
I understood what that meant, he'll bite me and suck my blood. I shook my head fiercely, "You wouldn't do that"
He slowly stood up and stalk towards me, "Lesson one, never threaten a vampire, it sends a thrill into us that'll make them want to fulfil It at all costs."
He stopped a few feet away from me before speaking, "And trust me when I say I love the threats."
"WWhat's your name?" I asked, trying to calm my beating heart. His presence affected me in ways that I can't even imagine, I felt afraid, aroused, and confused at the same time! He's truly messing with my head.
"Call me Knox, Delaney."
Whoa, even his name sounds so cool.
He smirked but didn't comment, I knew he heard that. He crossed his arms, waiting.
Knowing that I've run out of time, I cleared my throat"Um the ball... You need to go choose, erm, a human."
He chuckled darkly, "Oh I already have, I chose someone interesting."
"Who?" My eyes widened as he continued staring at me"No no and no, you can't choose me" I said panicking.
"Why is that, dear Delaney? You don't like it here?"
"No... I mean," gosh, how do I put this so that he wouldn't get angry? The last thing I want right now is to make a vampire king angry "Um, what I meant is, your place is lovely and beautiful, but I can't stay here, I have a life out there with friends, I'm sure they're looking for me right now." Even though my life out, there is a little boring, I have Cassy with me.
He pinned me down with a hard stare, I thought he was going to get mad but instead, he chuckled.
"Oh well, they'll get over it with time. One thing is for sure, you're mine now, so get used to it and don't try to escape."
I blinked the tears from my eyes, accepting reality.
"So what happens now?" I asked.
Using his vampire speed, he stopped right in front of me and gently tuck my hair behind my ear.
"Be mine."
He let go of me, turned, and stride towards the door." One week Delaney, I'll give you one week to make your decision, for now, Vendetta will accompany you" he said then he's gone.
