Solana Kings

I looked at Lauren with unease. The plan she wanted me to carry out was risky, especially knowing that Athena doesn't play about her.

Nightfall came quickly, as if wanting me my death to come quicker than anticipated. I sighed and Lauren grinned when she walked down the corridor.

"You know she would warm up to the idea of drinking from you sooner or later."

"Im disappointed to hear that from you. You're her sister, you're supposed to know her better than me to know that she would never willingly drink from me."

Well, she wasn't lying.

I just wanted to back out on this plan.

I didn't like it but its for the best.

"You know, we didn't do the girls day correct." She started as we headed towards Athena's room. "I mean there isn't a specific way a girls day should go. All we did was shop. We were supposed to go to the spa, get our nails done, hair done and all that."

"Shopping exhausted us." I pointed out and she did a back and forth hand movement.

"Kind of."

We arrived to Athena's floor and with my super hearing, I could hear her turning in the bed back and forth continuously. In this state, Lauren couldn't sleep with her.

"Ready?"

Lauren nodded and I looked at her hair.

"You have nothing for me to pull to hold your head back." I pointed out. Her hair was in stitched cornrows.

"Just," she sighed. "find something."

I sighed and extended my fangs from my gums. I dragged my tongue over them and licked my lips. I grabbed her and dragged her to Athena's room door. I pushed it open and Athena snapped her head to us.

I pulled Lauren into my body and she gasped softly.

"Look at your state." I snapped at her.

Her eyes were dark red, signalling blood lust, and dark veins surrounded her eyes. Her fangs weren't extended but I could tell she was fighting her inner beast.

"You're hungry." I motioned to Lauren with my head. "Feed from the girl."

Athena shook her head.

"Both of you get out." Her voice came out as gruff and I grabbed Lauren tightly and pushed her neck to the side.

Her pulse beated rapidly against her neck and I leaned down to her neck, dragging my tongue over her pulse point.

"I'll feed from her for you."

"Don't you fucking dare." Athena got up. She almost lost her balance but held on to the bedside table for balance.

She looks... weak and fragile.

This isn't the Athena I knew.

She was torturing herself by not feeding on Lauren. I'm sure she remembered the first time her beast came alive inside of her, how much blood she shed, how many people she killed just for her hunger to be satisfied.

I ripped Lauren's flesh from her neck and her blood ran down her neck rapidly.

Lauren cried out in pain and she gripped my pants in pain. I tasted her blood, placing my lips over her wound. I made sure to not make my fangs dig into her skin.

3.

Fuck.

2.

She tastes divine. I've never tasted blood like hers before.

1.

Athena grabbed me roughly and Lauren scurried from my arms. Athena held her other hand out towards the door and it slammed open. She threw me through the door and I swear my life flashed before my eyes as my body went over the railing.

I groaned as I used the last bit of my strength on Solana. Lauren wrapped her arms around me and I held my breath.

The scent of her blood was intoxicating.

My beast growled rapidly in my head, trying to break free. I knew if I lost the battle between it, Lauren would regret this.

She laid me on the bed and her blood dripped off of her body and onto mine. Lauren sat down and she placed my upper body on her lap.

"Athena, please."

Deep breaths.

In and out.

In and out.

I felt her blood being smeared over my mouth by her and my fangs retreated from my gums. Earlier when I tasted her blood for the first time, I almost lost control.

The smell of her blood drove me crazy but the taste?

Don't get me started.

I don't know how much longer I can hold on.

"Let go."

I tilted my head to look up at her and Lauren smiled down at me.

"I love you."

I tried uttering the words back but I was too weak to form any coherent words.

She pulled me up more and she placed my face in her neck, the side with the open wound, the side where blood was seeping from the bite.

I placed my lips to the wound and drank a small amount of her blood.

"That's it, my love. Drink up." Lauren cooed. My eyes fluttered shut at her heavenly taste.

My lips parted wider over the bite and I pressed my fangs into her neck. Lauren whimpered and her grip on me loosened a bit but she quickly tightened her arms around me, holding me up to her neck.

Her blood flow into my mouth and I swallowed.

I was regaining strength, slowly.

I pushed myself up, removing my lips from her neck. I looked her in the eyes and that's the last I remember before my beast took control.

Athena gave me a devilish smirk and her eyes turned black within a second. She grabbed me, placing one of her hands on my waist and the other pushing my head to the side. Before I could process what was going on, her fangs were pressing in my neck, buried deep in my flesh.

I screamed out.

I couldn't contain that scream.

Ouch, Athena. I thought we were best buddies.

We used to be best buddies, but now we're not.

I wish you would tell me whyyy—

Her fangs pressed deeply into my flesh as she drank from me hungrily. She growled against my flesh and I gripped her arm. I felt her fingers digging into my waist and I cried out.

"Athe—" another scream rippled from my throat as her face nuzzled into my neck which caused her fangs to push deeper into my flesh.

What the fuck? How long are these things?

Athena removed her fangs from my neck and I let out a breath of relief but they were then buried in a different place. My grip on her arms tightened and I squeezed my eyes shut tightly in pain.

Breathe, Lauren.

You asked for this.

She was telling you no and you decided to make plans.

Shut up.

Take it.

Shut. Up.

Don't scream.

That's it.

Good, good.

It'll be okay.

You'll be okay.

Everything will be fine.

My grip on her arm loosened as black dots clouded my vision. I was losing a lot of blood.

What if I die?

She wouldn't kill me.

She loves me.

She wouldn't kill me.

Athena didn't stop as she drank from me, more and more.

She wouldn't kill me, right?

Right, guys?
