Chapter 44

my god, I dont think that Matthew would be that deranged Jessica said with a disgusted facial face.

more than every one of us knew. Courtney said.

I cant believe that he killed future pure vampires. Jake added to the various voices of disbeliefs.

and I cant believe that her body just absorbed the crystal. What are we going to do with a child whose ability was already unknown and now he just added the hub of magic to his abilities. Elijah said as they all turned to look at him.

why are you more concerned about that. Courtney asks.

because anybody who can act against what he believes in for hundreds of years should be deranged, what were you guys expecting, a civil conversation or haggling which cities to lose and which is profitable from him. Elijah explains.

you are right, I just suggest that we Vince started.

yes, we all will make the wards stronger and exclude Caleb from this place and also will watch over your mate every second you are not with her. Jake said with a rolled eyes as Vince breathes out and then left with others following behind him.

Gwen watched Jake face and felt a change in his mood but his former cheerful mood snapped into place like nothing ever happened, some days later he will explain what he did and why and then she would recall this meeting.

I would have said that you are suffocating me if not for the fact that I know that you have to be close to me. Gwen huffs in anger at Vince who has done nothing but make her feel like she is better than having a mate, he has been treating like a child who was invalid. Just because she was with child that doesnt mean that she was an invalid or a child herself.

we both know that you would have kicked me out since if that was the case. Vince corrected, he knew that he was making Gwen angry but he couldnt stop himself and he didnt want to, she was with his child and that is enough explanation for those who wants an explanation.

cant you keep to the other side of the room. Gwen asks tiredly.

who will then help you.. Vince started as Gwen released a cute growl.

I have been doing that just fine for more than twenty years, I dont need help.

but you are with my child.. Vince said

yes I am so you better listen to me, I hear that pregnant women are hormonal it doesnt matter if it is human or werewolf and this moment I can see that vampires are also included in that piece of information too. Gwen snaps at Vince who raised his hand in surrender.

alright, I will leave you to your peace. Vince said with a laugh as he quickly stepped out of the room when Gwen launched a pillow at him.

Gwen relaxed back into the bed and flopped her pillow herself while comfortably lying down she didnt know when she slept.

When she opened her eyes she knew that a larger number of time has past and she looked around the room only not to see Vince around, she stood up slowly feeling that something was odd. She tried to contact Vince mentally but saw that she was blocked. That was when she knew something was really off.

you are awake. Jake said from her side as Gwen jumped in shock

I didnt hear you come in. Gwen said as soon as she could gather her scattered wits.

because I didnt want you to know. Jake answered her oddly Vince extracted some of his blood, he didnt want you to miss a feeding, when you are ready to stand, I will be in the kitchen waiting for you with a cup of blood. Jake said playfully as he waved to her with his back turned and he left the room on a normal walk.

Gwen tried to ignore the creeping feeling she was feeling but it was not easy to put at the back of her mind, she got up and padded out of the room and when she got to the kitchen she saw blood bags on the floor. The ones which Vince warns her not to drink from.

what are those. Gwen asked scared as Jake looked at what Gwen was talking about and sighed.

“being the lazy one has its disadvantages, you give your hand too early, I was supposed to knock you out that way. Jake said as Gwen quickly turn with supernatural speed to run to the safe room which Vince got specially for her.

and this means I have to do this the old fashion way. Jake released a sigh and he appeared in front of Gwen and ignoring her pleas, he turned his head and put pressure on her neck and she collapsed.

When Gwen woke up, she didnt try to move, she made sure her eyes adjusted before she took note of the bonds and that chair.

When Jake appeared before her, she actually smiled at him. you kept me waiting, was it to make me sweat.

well yes, that is half the torture and make you know what kind of person you are dealing with, some cry, others shout, some are quiet like you. Jake added as Gwen smiles at him.

believe me when I say that you havent ever seen someone like me. Gwen said as Jake look at bher.

you can guess what I want to do to you and you are calm? Jake said as Gwen shrugged

I have faced Matthew and I have survived, I feel like whatever you do to me will not be that bad.

I am worst than him. Jake said.

yet you are the only one that smiles. Gwen said as Jake kept quiet at that.

why are you doing this Jake. Gwen added hoping to appeal to the sympathy that reflected in Jake eyes. She knew she made a mistake when the shutters closed against his eye lids

let me tell you a story. Jake started.

do I have to listen. Gwen whines as Jake smiles.

I see why you were able to captivate his attentions. Jake said the continued as if she never said anything. the traitors that believed that we should dominate, the ones who Vince thought that he had gotten rid of, he missed two. Me and Matthew who was my brother then. He still is. Vince was dumb for saying that we should coexist with humans when we are supposed to rule. Jake said as Gwen shook her head in laughter.

what? Jake asked her and she replied. that world which you envision is nothing but a fantasy make-believe that will not happen. Humans always triumphs, Vince knows this and that is why he befriend their leaders.

make-believe Jake asks as Gwen nodded.

yes. Make believe. Gwen replied with raised eyebrow.

Jake released a laugh at that, if that is what you use to console yourself then by all means continue. You might think its make believe but it wont be for long when we have crippled those who are against us. We will make sure the supernatural world watch on as we destroy humans, the few who will be left alive will be used as food and be very scanty and what better way of controlling others than controlling their food source? Jake asks as Gwen face turned pale, when Jake realized what he said he seemed to look contrite.

I should not have said that. Jake mutters. then again you will not live enough to do damage with that information, you are dying anyway so there is no reason why I should keep quiet. I am not like my brother that is incapable of killing you even with the many opportunities that I gave him.”

why do you call him brother. Gwen asks.

because he was my distant cousin before we were turned, although I first met Jessica and Vincent among the primordials, I realized who he was to me when I saw him.

and your sister, she is gone because of your cousin, you psycho. Gwen shouted at Vincent who smiled.

I faked my sister death, she is alive and well with the crystal. I even made her absorb the crystal now she is strong. Also another reason why you cannot be alive. You absorbed a crystal and you are not on our side, and not just any crystal but one of the three most powerful, how did you do it?

I dont know. Gwen replied in a gasp as Jake drew her hair to make her look at him.

well if you think back and realized what you did then maybe I wont kill you after torturing. We need to know how you did it so that we can, our own crystal is giving us issues.

I dont know how I did anything but I know that I would not let you hav that information, I will take it to my grave.Gwen spat as Jake chuckles.

you assume that you will have enough body parts remaining to have a grave.

whatever you do to me, I wont tell you. Gwen said as she look at him with her eyes shining bright but not with tears but defiance. so how do you feel wasting you time, Vince is on his way and he will get you, he isnt more powerful than you for nothing.

Before Gwen could even make Jake more annoyed. Jake hits her then proceeded to beat her until he grew bored by that and decided to slice her up. As soon as the knife touched her, Jake drew back when fire shot of her at the same moment Vince aura met them. Jake cowers for a while before straightening.

he will kill you. You know he will. Gwen managed with her broken jaws and Jake looked at her and disappear and not a moment later, Vince removed the roof of the whole house and located her then moved to her.

are you okay. Vince said.

emergency. We need to call for a meeting. Gwen rasped out.
