Death in the island

SCOTT POV

Her lips were soft and irresistible. I slid my tongue in and devour her sweetness. Diana didn't stopped me, she kissed me back as she clutched on my side.

I pushed her and rested my hand against the wall, with my other hand at the back of her head. I deepened the kiss, and softly suck on her lower lip.

We paused for a while as we breathe rapidly. She took my hand and placed it on her chest as she intently stared to my eyes.

"Does your heart beat this fast too?", she said as she wet her tempting lips.

"All the time", I breathe deeply then rested my forehead against hers. She didn't moved an inch. I can feel her hot breath tremble as another tear fell on her cheek.

I knew there's something bothering her. And I guess, now is not the perfect time to talk about us. She's human in mind, so I guess, it's best to prioritize her inner feelings than my lust. At least now, I know she likes me and that's all that matters.

I held her waist and asked her to take a shower first before we can talk. Without a word, she just went on.

I prepared her a cup of tea as I waited. It will be a long night of conversation given that we have so much to talk about.

I had Lucas investigate Alva's company, and whatever operations she's in. I need not to tell this to Diana. For I know it would hurt her if she had known I'm doubtful of her wicked mother.

In a few minutes, Diana went down in a white silk pyjama. I specifically told Jim not to include any sultry lingerie or thin sensual clothes on her selections of clothing. This is for my sake, and for the other men too. I applaud him for a job well done.

Diana sat on the dining chair with me as she look around with her eyes. She held on to the tea I gave her with both of her hands.

"Do you like it?", I asked.

"Very much, I'll wire you my payment for this. Please don't say no", she said as she sip her tea.

"This is a gift", I said with a smile.

"You already gave me one, Scott", she answered as she tap the moon phase watch I gave her.

"We can talk about that later.. So, what happened today, my Luna? ", I asked as I leaned forward.

"There's a doctor.. Calvin.. he uhh.. he..", Diana looked down and started to fidget on the cup as deep folds on her forehead started to appear. She cleared her throat before she started to talk.

"He's a vampire?", I asked as she struggle to tell me what it is. Judging by the way she acts, it seemed like it was not a very pleasant encounter. It's mind-boggling because if she had been with a vampire, I would've sensed him on her.

"You knew?", Diana sat upright with her eyes wide open.

"I saw you once with him in a restaurant. I heard you call him Calvin. His scent was all over the place", I said as I watch her hands tremble.

"He was caught speaking with another person by one of the doctors in the hospital about uh.. killing me. The doctor saw how he effortlessly strangled a man with one hand lifting him up. He ran down the stairs and fell breaking his leg. He then.. uhh.. he had a cardiac arrest that I had to operate on..", she said.

"How did you know he's a vampire?", I asked as I held her cold hands.

"I caught Calvin drinking my blood that I collected for testing", she squeezed my hand as I read fear all over her face. It was then I knew that Calvin won't stop wanting her blood, now that he have tasted it.

"You see.. Calvin won't stop coming for you, now that he knows the taste of your blood. It's like an imprint, but deadly." I said as she shifted her gaze from her cup of tea to me.

"Diana, is the doctor still alive?", I asked, brushing her hand with my fingers, worried that the vampires will never let him get away with it. They are creatures who likes to stay hidden in the dark. Anyone who knows their real identity, it's either they turn them to vampires, or have them killed.

"Yes, he's recovering in the intensive care unit", she replied.

"He's good as dead. The vampires won't stop until they have him killed or turn to vampire now that he have identified them", I continued as she took her phone from her pocket and called someone.

"Hello? This is Dr. Woodsworth. May I know the status of patient 1108?", Diana said as she tap her fingers on the table. "He's fine? Okay, please report to me his prognosis, let me know which doctors will see him…. Thanks", Diana hung up and placed her phone on the table. I held her hands and interlocked my fingers with hers.

"Dr. Murphy is safe for now, I'll have someone to keep an eye on him.", she said. "Calvin mentioned that my blood is precious, and that mother had him collect it every three months.. He also said that he will kill for me, and won't let anything happen to me", she added. This made me think, that Diana's blood might be the key that's why she's well taken cared of. She's protected by vampires, and an unidentified creature in the form of her mother.

"Vampires can't be trusted. They do anything for blood", Brushing her hands with my thumb.

"He's the KNIGHT WITH SWORDS", she mumbled.

"Huh?", I furrowed my brows with her remark.

"Emilia told me about a KNIGHT WITH SWORDS in the cards, a person in my life who's not honest. I think, it's Calvin", Diana said.

"Don't worry, Luna.. My pack will guard the city. I promise he will never lay a finger on you.", touching her face with my palm, she closed her eyes feeling my warmth. "About Emilia..", I started to open this topic but I didn't know how to continue.

Diana opened her eyes, and seemed like she froze as she stared at me blankly. I don't know what she saw in my face. Maybe, for the longest time she face people dealing with death, she already know when someone speaks of it.

"Oh no.. I know that look. No, please Scott", she waited for me to say the words I know she didn't want to hear.

"Emilia was found dead hanging on the fence. Her children found her drenched in blood, with a tree branch stabbed on her neck." The wolves mourn for the first brutal death in the island. A murder that is unforgivably perfected by an uninvited guest.
