Rose's POV
I wake up with a jolt, I'm in an unfamiliar room, this is definitely not my house. As I try to understand, something comes out of the wall and out of instinct I scream. It's a ghost or something, and it immediately goes out the wall, because of my scream?
Someone jumps up beside me, it's a woman. She's unlike any woman I've ever seen before, she has an ethereal beauty and was emitting a dangerous vibe which only helped to enhance her beauty.
Blonde hair cascading over her shoulder with ocean blue eyes that one can get lost in.
She scans the room seemingly looking for the source of my scream.
I snap out of it, as I try to understand what's happening. How did I get here? Why am I sleeping next to her woman? It doesn't make any sense. I'm straight and has never had lesbian tendecies, so what's this all about. I'm not bisexual either and I don't think I've ever been attracted to a woman before.
The woman clears her throat and I look at her, she probably wants to explain why I'm here.
"Hi, I'm Camilla and you're my mate" She says and I faint, drifting away.
* * * *
I wake up and pinch myself, to know whether or not it was all a dream. It isn't a dream, I realise and bury myself in the duvet on the bed.
With the existence of Jayden, I probably should have realised that stuff like mates would exist. I probably should have asked him which supernaturals were real, those who weren't and how to move around them.
So I'm someone's mate. How can I be a female's mate, this doesn't make sense. I'm straight not gay or bisexual. How exactly does this work? It doesn't! At least I don't believe it will.
I don't really know much about mates, who even knows if there are damned for being with this supernaturals. Could being her mate have implications, could it mean that I'd be damned to hell for all eternity, there was no way to find out. Even if it was true, she'd probably not tell me about it or dodge when I ask.
All I can say I know is from wolf romance books, who knows whether or not they sugar coated the whole thing. What if being a supes mate was a bad thing? What if she's evil? Is she even a wolf? I don't even know if other supernaturals exist, afterall Damian, Jayden or whatever said he was a wolf.
There's a knock on the door and after a moment of contemplation, I say "come in". Something then comes through the walls. It's a ghost and might I say, it isn't pretty.
I'm immediately light headed and for a change, I steel myself not to faint. I literally let the ghost in, it knocked and I told it to come in, fainting would just be whimpy of me.
"What would you like to eat, madam. The mistress has gone to take care of some urgent matters she'd be back in an hour or so" It sayed.
I wanted to say that anything could be made, I wasn't picky with food, but I realised that some kind of supernatural meal could be made, who knows if it would sit well with a human stomach.
"Toasted bread with omelettes and a glass of orange juice would be okay" I say and the ghost leaves the way she came in.
The food is ready in no time and instead of going to the dining, I stay put in the room and eat my fill.
About ten minutes later, the door opens and someone, Camilla walks in.
"I'm straight" I blurt out and she arches a perfect brow.
"I don't know how this mate thing works, I've never dated a woman before or ever gotten attracted to one. I don't think I can do the mate thing, my sexuality is enough proof of that" I explain.
With eyes never moving away from me, she sits next to me on the bed.
"There's no backing out of the mate bond" She says and I furrow my brows.
"Can't mates reject each other?" I ask.
"I never knew I had a mate and I'm definitely not rejecting my mate, so you're stuck with me" She growled.
We reached an still point as we both sat in quietness.
"Rejecting a mate is serious stuff, can you at least get to know me first, give me a chance, if you still can't be with me, a woman, you can reject me" She said in a low, tender, vulnerable voice.
My heart strings were immediately tugged, I felt guilty. I was being selfish, I didn't even understand what she was going through, neither did I try to. She was probably hurt since we were mates, her heart was probably ripped out from me trying to reject her.
"Um... what are you" I say trying to change the topic.
She smiles, my change of topic is gladly accepted.
"I'm a vampire" She says.
"Can I see your fangs?" I ask, quite curious of how they'll look.
She flashes me her fangs and I'm amazed. I lift my fingers near them and look at her for permission, she nods and I run my fingers down them and it lightly pricks my skin. She licks the little blood off as her eyes darken.
She moves closer and runs a finger on my lips, asking with her eyes for permission. In that dazed moment I nodded my head, yup we were mates, that mate bond was definitely working.
I closed my eyes as her lips came over mine and consumed mine. Her lips were soft and the kiss was slow, easing me into her world. It was pure bliss and the moment she pulled away with clouded eyes, At that moment I didn't mind, I didn't mind at all being with her, contrary to all what my head said.
