Be Careful When You Bite Me novel Chapter 41

"Blood," I tried to tell him, to let him know that I understood but his eyes couldn't seem to focus. He was too weak to do anything about the fact that he was starving. He was too weak to get up and so I knew I had to do something to get him to bite me.

I looked around in a frantic for an object that I could use to cut myself with. I caught sight of a knife on the dining room table and quickly ran up to grab it. I rushed back to Damon's side and held the knife up to the nape of my skin.

I tried not to think about how much it will hurt, instead, I poisoned the knife on a previous cut and ran the blade lightly against it, reopening it. I winced at the harsh pain and felt my blood began to drip. I brought my neck closer to where Damon was and his eyes were now locked with my neck.

He didn't take much time to find his strength before grabbing me abruptly and pulling me down. The sudden impact of his fangs slicing through my neck was painful enough to send me screaming.

I grabbed on to the sofa trying not to claw at him. My vision quickly began to blur the harder he bit and it felt as if he was sucking the life out of me. This bite didn't lead to pleasure as it has in the past. This bite continued to hurt and burn and drain at me until my vision turned completely black. I felt hands grabbing at me, pulling me away from his grip.

The screams in the background sounded more like distant echoes. I couldn't tell whether Damon was still biting me or not because all I could really feel was numbness.

I gasped out loud and opened my eyes wide, the burst of light flooding my vision. I was now lying on the ground, Asia and Luna were staring down at me in concern. Asia had an empty glass cup in her hands and I felt my hair to realize it was drenched.

Did she throw cold water on me?

"Is he alright, is Damon-" I couldn't talk without gasping in between. My neck was beginning to burn again and I clutched it with my fingers.

"He's alright, Xavier took him outside for a walk, " Luna replied.

"How are you feeling?" I asked, directing my question at Luna but Asia didn't give her time to answer before she suddenly snapped at me.

"Are you an idiot," she exclaimed," he could have killed you!"

I couldn't help but roll my eyes and began to sit up.

"He's bitten me before," I replied. Both girls grabbed my arms and helped me up onto the couch.

"You can't let him bite you when he's starving, he may not be able to control himself," Asia continued.

"Don't tell me you've never let Xavier bite you," I snapped.

Asia remained staring at me but kept silent.

Luna handed me a new glass that was filled with water and I chugged it.

"Where's Dimitri?" I asked, immediately feeling better. The burning from my neck was beginning to decrease.

"He's sleeping," Luna replied. I nodded.

"We need to talk," I said, staring at both girls.

"About?" Luna replied.

"About my mother," I said.

Both girls remained silent waiting for me to further ask.

"Did you know that I was half-witch?" I asked Luna who merely nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked.

"It wasn't my place, I never met your mother but from what I was able to see, she wouldn't have wanted you to know, I-I understand what that's like."

"What else do you know," I continued.

Both girls glanced at each other before Asia started," when your mother was a witch, she fell in love with your father, her family shunned her for it, as did the rest of the Underworld. She even spent some time in the Council's prison."

"The prison that I found Damon in?" I asked and they nodded.

"She was in there for a little bit before the Council gave her an ultimatum. She can either give up all powers that made her a witch and stop practising completely."

"Meaning she would be just like your father, a human," said Luna.

I nodded for them to continue.

"Or she could never see him again, and rejoin with her race. She couldn't have both."

"Your mother couldn't stay away from your father and they caught her, and almost killed her, so in the end, she gave up all ties to The Underworld."

"It would be the last thing she'd want, for you to find out, but-"
