My Two Alphas novel Chapter 13

　　Lucy POV

　　I had around two hours before the sun went down as I gathered firewood. I hadn’t seen Rayan in days. After killing the rabbit, my bloodlust had become out of control and I was desperate for blood but also too scared to leave the river for fear of attacking someone. Ravenous wasn’t even a strong enough word for how I felt I was on edge, like a drug addict going through withdrawal. I was also becoming increasingly weaker and after having blood daily, to suddenly go cold turkey it was unbearable. I grew weak quickly, just looking for firewood was taking a toll on me and I grew tired fast. I never realised what an impact going without blood was like.

　　Giving up, I sit against a tree leaning heavily against it. I close my eyes trying to catch my breath when I pick up a scent. The scent was filling my nostrils and a growl tears from my lips, the noise startling me as I looked around for what created the scent. I notice movement out of the corner of my eyes before seeing something dart between two trees, my eyes picking up the movement as I watch the rabbit scurry away. I feel my fangs protrude, sleeping from my gums slowly and painfully. My mouth is completely dry and I crawl to my hands and knees.

　　I suddenly get a burst of adrenaline fuelled by my hunger and dart after it. Moving quicker than I had in days as I snagged it in my grip. I sank my fangs into not even paying attention to where I bit it as it shrieked and thrashed before I realised I sank my teeth into its side. My canines ripping it to pieces as I kept trying to drain it, my senses taking over telling me to feed but not biting successfully into any artery instead just bleeding it out as I tore it apart. I lick my fingers a moan escaping my lips when I hear a twig snap. I pivot spinning around a growl tearing from my lips. It was animalistic and guttural as I saw two Black wolves step into my path.

　　One of them whines but all I could think about was the intoxicating aroma coming from them, hear the blood pulsing through their veins and I lunge at one. I needed blood, that all I could think about as hunger enveloped me. I hear snapping at the same time I lunge at the one closest to me, the wolf stepping out of my way and off to the side when I feel something grab me. I thrash before the scent becomes so strong and I turn biting into soft flesh. A moan escapes my lips as its blood floods into my mouth when I feel myself ripped away from them. Hands grabbing my arms, yanking me away and I growl before coming face to face with Ace. Seeing him stunned me and I realised why the scent was familiar and intoxicating. Looking over my shoulder I realised I bit Tyson, blood running down his arm from his bicep.

　　I attacked him. “Lucy” Ace’s voice says before I look back at him, yet the hunger doesn’t leave, only gets worse knowing I was drinking their blood.

　　“Lucy wait” Ace says his gripping getting tighter when I moisture touch my lips Tyson scent wafting to my nose and I grab his wrist that was pressed to my lips, I sink my fangs into him but he doesn’t pull away instead pulling me against him and Ace lets me go before I find myself sitting in his lap as he leans against a tree.

　　“Drink love” Tyson says, yet I don’t think I could stop even if I wanted to, I could feel his blood getting weaker as he did when Ace suddenly bites his wrist before kneeling in front of me. I let Tyson’s go grabbing his and Tyson pushes me forward into Ace who grabs me pulling me closer. My hunger finally calms down as I lean on Ace, his body warm and I feel myself relax against him. My fangs pull out of his wrist and I see Tyson leaning against the tree across from us watching me, his breathing hard.

　　“How long did you go without blood?” Ace asks.

　　“I just had a rabbit,” I tell him.

　　“No, I mean a blood bag Lucy”
