Bonus Ch 237: Meet Their First Alpha

[For Reference: Continued from Bonus Ch 233. Skip, if you want.]

Lily could hardly comprehend what the vampire said. Beneath her throat was on fire and her instincts yelled, "FEED!"

With no restraint, she pounced like a ravenous animal that had rabies. Without a pause, she sank her fangs into the woman's headless body. Lily tore the flesh on her arm and drank merely by the vampire's shoes on all fours.

Emotionlessly, the vampire watched as she drank like a vamp toddler, consuming every ounce she could take.

Ian gawked at Lily losing it. Soon he couldn't resist himself either and dived in like this vulture. He took the other arm and sank his fangs into the dead woman's flesh. Warm blood rolled into his throat and it felt all so good. He couldn't get enough! It's what he's been needing and craving to have for so long.

Meanwhile, the fully grown vampire looked between the two of them feeding like starved craze mutts. Without them seeing it, he smirked at them digging in like feral beasts. Being patient he waited for the teen vampiress and vampire to get their fill.

Lily was the first to hiss a satisfied grin. Fresh blood was dripping to her chin but she didn't care. Her throat felt better and that deficiency she had was gone. She looked at her discolored arm and saw her skin was flawless and felt remarkably smooth. Then she pressed her blood-stained lips together and felt they were no longer chapped.

Afterward, her red eyes made contact with that adult vampire, watching her and Ian with a cloaked expression. There wasn't any emotion she could read from him.

Ian was the next one to hiss, feeling well-fed. He felt great until he found that the same vampire was eyeing him and Lily. Together, they cautiously arose from the ground and wiped their faces clean with the side of their hands.

For maybe a minute, the vampire only studied them as if he was thinking.

"You were both human-raised?" he finally spoke, asking them.

"Yes," Ian softly answered and Lily went over to him to feel protected.

"Has the Vampire Covenant found you?" the vampire asked.

"Yes. Two scary-looking men with red eyes spoke to us and said I was a shapeshifter vampiress and he was a predatory vampire." This time Lily dauntlessly answered and she was sure to give her attitude.

The vampire chuckled, "When you hunt you must kill quickly. Hunters will play with their food but most of us don't."

"Nobody told us much information," Ian justified their clumsy hunting skills.

"Your father will teach you how to properly hunt," said the vampire. "You must find them."

"So we've been told," Lily snarled with a sassy attitude. "It's easier said than done."

"Hmm," the vampire smirked, humming like a prehistoric bird. "Follow me."

He then walked away, leaving them both to look at each other before they stared at his back departing.

"Don't we need to bury the jogger's body..." Ian said with a pause when he peeked over at the woman's decapitated head. "And her head." He swallowed a non-existent rock, adding that.

"My clan is on their way to deal with it," the vampire replied loud enough to be heard without looking back. "Now come with me."

But Ian didn't understand how the vampire contacted his clan when he said nothing audibly.

"Come with me," Lily's sassy mouth mocked as she rolled her eyes before she followed.

Her cute attitude distracted Ian's pondering thoughts. He couldn't help but chuckle when he followed her. Until a snapping stick caught his ear. He partly turned and saw vampires swoop in from the trees, taking the jogger's body and head. Just as fast, the group was gone. Ian crossed his eyes up and down, left to right, but he didn't see or hear them anywhere.

"That's creepy," he outwardly whispered.

"Ian, are you coming?" Lily stopped in her tracks, and stared back at him, standing there.

"Yeah," he replied, proceeding her way.

They followed the vampire to this park, where tons of kids were playing on the playground while they stayed unseen in the trees.

"As beginners, you need to hunt smaller prey," the vampire advised.

On the other hand, Lily looked at him like he was heartless.

"Their kids and babies!" she hissed, lowly.

The vampire grinned at her aside from him on his right. "That little three-year-old on the slide has cancer. He only has so much time before he dies. The humane thing to do would be to end his misery," the vampire said in a heartless way.

Lily was disgusted, and replied, whispering, "I'd never kill a baby."

"Your father will start you out with younger prey," said the vampire. "The woman you tried to feed on failed because you're not experienced, killers."

"Well, I refuse to kill a child!" Lily folded her arms and snubbed her nose to the sky.

The vampire smirked at her. "I'm sure your father will be gentle with you," he told her.

"How would you know?" Lily asked, seeing his eyes held care.

"Because my daughter is seventeen. She won't feed on kids either, so I trained her to take on men," he said, smiling proudly.

Lily's personality reminded him of his daughter. And Ian's face resembled another vampire he was friends with from being allies and friends with that particular vampire's Alpha that he had not seen for such a long time. Coincidentally, that vampire Alpha and his clan are predatory species too. Furthermore interesting, he was allied with a shapeshifter clan that turned into wolves. Such a coincidence, he figured.

"So you're a shapeshifter like me?" Lily asked, being friendly to see he has a heart after all.

"Into a bear, yes, but not into a wolf," he gently replied.

Smilingly, Lily asked, blinking her eyes innocently, "Do you have a name?"

"Mitchell," he smiled caringly at her. "I'm an Alpha."

Both juveniles were stunned to meet their first Alpha. And he was kind, not fearsome toward them.

On the opposite side from Lily, Ian asked. "Can you help us find our dads?"

"I wish I could," Mitchell frowned. "Keep listening for their call and you will find them. Beware, there are dangerous vampires around here that will detain you and take her. If you need human blood come to these woods, and I'll be sure you're fed. Other than that, I wish you both the best." With that being said, Mitchell vanished before their eyes from the trees.

Alone again, Lily and Ian held hands, frowning, then they took off to the car.
