Be Careful When You Bite Me novel Chapter 22

“We found your little lamb all alone trying to run away,” Elisabeth looked amused but I had no time for games.

I felt Hollys breath on my neck and her heart thudding through her chest.

“Found, or trapped?” I couldn’t explain the fury that I wanted to ransom upon the paid. The heat that I felt boiled my blood beyond degree and I wanted nothing more but to grab them both and rip out their chests.

Elisabeth’s expression showed that she didn’t care that she’s pissed me off,” What’s got you so angry, she’s just another vampire groupie, a crone-“

“Get the hell out of here,” the rage in my voice was almost thundering.

Matheos grabbed his sisters hand,” Let’s get out of here.”

Before walking away, Elisabeth added in,” comforting to know our future King is a crone loving idiot.”

I remained silent and watched as they disappeared back into the dark.

I turned out to look at Holly. Her green eyes were wide and it was clear that she was still terrified. I examined her for cuts but it didn’t look like they had gotten a chance to bite her. I noticed a small cut at the center of her neck and traced it with my finger to stop the bleeding.

“Are you alright,” I asked , my voice coming out steadier then I felt,” did they hurt you.”

She simply shook her head now. I saw the tears pooling in her eyes and felt my sorrow extend.

“I’m sorry, I should have known when they left that they would pull someone like this.”

She stayed silent and it felt as if she had slapped me.

Holly’s POV

The ride was silent and I could feel that there was thick tension in the air. Damon spend his time staring out the window and I couldn’t help but get the slightest idea that he felt guilty. I wondered if he was going to ask me how I’d gotten outside or if I was trying to run away. I wondered if I would tell him the truth.

I thought about how mad he had gotten at Isabelle’s cousins, the rage in his voice was something I have never heard before. It was a side of Damon that made me question what kind of person he really was.

He was hot and then he was cold and it made him one of the most complicated person I have ever met. I couldn’t deny that I was intrigued by his care and I wanted to explore that side of him but a part of me knew that he would hide that side for any and everyone or at least fight it as hard as he knew how.

The car came to halt and I gazed outside the window to see the entrance of a hotel. We had only been driving for around twenty minutes and so I wondered if we are going to go home tomorrow or if he planned on staying here longer.

I turned to ask but Damon had already stepped out of the car. I hurriedly followed and watched as the car disappeared.

Damon marched into the lobby with me at his heels as he headed for the front desk.

The brunette girl behind the desk quickly straightened her self up and patted her hair down the second she caught sight of him. I stifled the urge to roll my eyes. She reminded me of Ade.

“Hi, what can I do for you,” her high pitched voice made me want to cover my ears.

It was almost as if I was invisible to her because her bright blue eyes were glued to Damon only.

“I’ll take the president suite please, one night,” Damon had whipped out his phone and was typing away at it, bearing her no mind.

She spared a confused look my way finally and began to type on her keyboard.

“Can I have a piece of ID please?”

I was half expecting Damon to refuse but to my surprise he reached into his pocket and pulled out a wallet and then a drivers license. I was tempted to grab it from his hands and check his birthdate.
