Alpha's Little Vampire Mate
25. Show me your friend

Chloe's POV:

I scoffed, halting by the door, when I perceived her. She was still her!

Actually, I admired her guts, she did have a lot of that to still be in my man's house when he wasn't even around. I knew Marcus was out because I hadn't sensed his presence when I walked in through the door. If I was hopeful enough, I'd think that he had gone out to look for me.

With a great amount of force, I pushed the bedroom door open, and there she was-sitting in front of the vanity mirror and smirking at me in mockery. I glared and she glared back, not batting an eye.

"Hey kid," she waved with a wide grin. "I wasn't expecting you back here so soon."

I ignored that. "Pray tell, what are you doing here all by yourself?"

"I should be asking you that question," she replied.

"This is my mate's house, which makes it mine!"

"This is my lover's house, which makes it mine!"

I bit hard on my tongue, trying to stop myself from spewing the next words that wanted to come out. Instead, I said: "I want you to leave my house now!"

She raised a questioning brow at me, then threw her head back and laughed annoyingly. By the time she raised her head to face me again, the laughter had died down and was now replaced by a harsh glare. "Look here kid, I don't know what games you and Marcus got playing, but it's time up."

"You," I hissed in a threatening tone. "Do not tell me what to do!"

"Oh... I do," she got up, walking slowly to me. This time she wasn't butt naked, she had on a skimpy dress which didn't leave much to the imagination. "Because what Marcus and I have, beats whatever stupid bond that binds you to him...." My wolf growled possessively, hating that the unknown lady had just made a claim on her mate. She growled right back at me and that ticked me off. I began charging towards her, ready to squash whatever bone I could get my hand on. She made no move to run, she remained standing, the stupid smirk back on her stupid face. "Marcus is mine!"

"No!" I yelled, "he is mine! Mine alone!"

She charged forward and soon, we were spitting words right in each other's face. "I rejected my mate for him many centuries ago, and he'll do the same for me!"

"To hell with you!"

I landed a resounding slap on her face and she immediately retaliated. I roared, grabbing her by the hair and started pulling. She delivered a blow to my stomach and I stumbled backwards. She made a quick move to come at me, but we were both interrupted.

"Lay a finger on my best friend and I'll put a bullet through that head of yours, you whore!"

We both turned and stared at my best friend, who had a gun in her hand(which I had no idea where she got that from) and fortunately for me, it wasn't pointed at me. With the hatred swirling in her eyes, I had no doubt that she would shoot Marcus's ex lover. And I didn't want that. If the lady was important to Marcus as she claimed she was, he'd probably never forgive me.

"Lilian..."

Uh... they knew each other?

"Don't you utter my name, with the kind of disgusting spirit you have," Lily snapped at her, her grip on the gun tightening like she was holding herself from pulling the trigger.

Strange wolf lady chuckled, shaking her head as she gave Lily a once over. "Still mad that Mark and I almost fucked?"

I gasped, my eyes quickly moving between them. "What?" I muttered in an unsure tone, wondering if I had heard right.

"Yeah..." Lily spat, shifting her eyes to me and quickly back to the lady. "This is the dog that tried to seduce my Mark...," she drawled.

"Seduce?" The lady asked in an amused voice. "I've fucked Mark a couple of times and to tell you how good it was..." she trailed off, a dreamy look in her eyes.

I was utterly disgusted!

"That's it Maggie, I'll kill you!"

The sound of gunshots resonated in the room, but none of Lily's shots touched the lady. I sighed in relief, glad that Lily hadn't killed a person in anger or she'd never forgive herself. "Wow Lily, aren't you an awful shooter?"

Lily growled, flinging the gun to me and charged towards Maggie(which I just found out was her name). She threw a punch, which Maggi easily caught, twisting her hand in the process.

Lily screamed in pain and I had to step foward, joing them in the fight. She'd dared to touch my best friend and now I was raging with fury. The pain that washed over Lily's face was enough to make me want to see Maggie dead.

"How dare you hurt her?!" I yelled, moving with a fast speed and smacked her right in the back. She stumbled forward and before she could regain her standing, I pushed her hard and she fell on her knees. "Lily! Fast!"

Without hesitation, Lily grabbed the gun that was now on the floor and rammed the barrel into the side of Maggie's head, and she collapsed to the ground, her body going limp.

I stared with wide eyes. "Shit! Are you crazy?! I wanted you to hit her and not kill her!"

Lily shrugged nonchalantly. "That doesn't sound like such a bad idea, if she dies, better for us al-"

"Lily!"

"What?!"

"You do realize the mess you've gotten us into, don't you?" I asked, my heart thundering in my chest. "Marcus is going to be so mad!"

Lily rolled her eyes, then scoffed. "I don't think he'll be that mad, he hates her." She should have picked on the confused expression that grazed my features, for she proceeded to say: "She's not that much of a threat as she makes herself out to be..."

I inhaled, just starting to relax as Lily assured me. I knew she was still alive, I could hear the drumming sounds of her heartbeat. I turned her body, so she was lying on her back. The large injury that Lily had caused on the side of her head had almost finished healing.

Any minute from now, she'd be up and. We had to take her out of here before she awoke. I could singlehandedly carry her, speed into the forest and dump her in seconds, but they were wandering eyes. I didn't want another person having suspicions about what I was... too many people already knew.

"Chloe!"

"Lily!"

Marcus and Mark shouted simultaneously.

I turned to Lily with wide scared eyes, and she was already looking at me, my expression mirroring hers. "Shit! What do we do now?"

"Um... nothing?" She asked back in a trembling voice. I turned my attention back to the unconscious lady on the floor and as if we had it all planned out, I and Lily kicked at the same time. My right foot landed on her stomach, while Lily's left food landed on her backside.

"You stupid whore, wake the fuck up!" Lily screamed, running her fingers through her hair. I could hear them approaching, and I know Lily could also hear the sound of Mark's heartbeat nearer. "They are here..."

We both turned to the door and in that second, it flung open. Right there, stood our men in the doorway, both panting as there tried to make sense of the situation before them.

Lily had walked away and was now beside the window, looking out as she avoided Mark's questioning gaze.

My eyes went up to meet Marcus's blank ones, then his eyes moved away from from my face and he stared long at Maggie's unconscious body. I glared down at her, my wolf growling as she didn't like the attention Marcus was giving to another.

And to be honest, I also felt jealous!

Mark stepped further into the room, walking towards Lily who still hadn't turned around. "Baby," he muttered.

"If you want to chastise me about whats and what nots, you can hold your tongue so I do not rip it out of your mouth!" Lily hissed.

Mark chuckled, wrapped his arms around her and smacked his lips loudly against her cheek. "I have no complaints honey. In fact, I must commend that I love how you always stand up for your friend, Maggie had that coming by the way." "Awwn," I muttered softly as I watched their little display of love. My eyes shifted back to Marcus and he was looking at me with a strange emotion that made me tremble all over. My legs felt weak and I thought they'd give out under me. "Come in here," Marcus finally spoke, and soon two Omegas came in. "Take her to the wolf clinic, when she's alright, you send her back home to her father."

They nodded, lifting her body. She groaned, and I couldn't wish for them to take her out any quicker. His eyes remained on me, never leaving mine and I bounced on my toes as I felt uncomfortable under his burning gaze.

He turned to look at Mark and Lily who had practically started making out right there in our bedroom. "Get out," Marcus muttered under his breath.

The couple finally broke away from the heated kiss they were engaged in. Lily blushed, stealing a glance at me and I gave her a dirty look. Mark chuckled, grabbing Lily's hand and pulling her towards the door.

"I think we've over stayed our welcome," he passed me a knowing smirk before they closed the door behind them.

I stared back cautiously at Marcus who was looking intensely at me. "I can explain," I started but before I could get another word out, Marcus charged towards me and took my lips in a heated kiss...
