I should be your Beta, not your Mate

»By Dracula's teeth, what the fuck is that?« Leandra growled and stared frustrated at her cup that was filled with blood.

»Let me taste it. That should be fresh. Mine still tastes good,« Zack said and grabbed Lea's cup and took a sip before he jumped up and ran to the sink to spit out the blood.

»That bad?«

Amused Sean grimace and also took a sip from Lea's blood drink however, he immediately spit it back into the cup.

»Shit, who was the jokester and put human blood in the one calf blood?«

Emi coughed and got up. »I think you grabbed one of my experiments by accident.«

Groaning Enzo rolled his eyes. »Didn't we say no experiments with human blood?«

Now Emily was the one rolling her eyes. »Come on. The good spells only work with human blood.«

»Where did you even get that?« Caleb asked, who sat at our dining table and studied for his new rank.

Actually, I had studied with him but then my friends joined us and Cas came too, just like my band colleagues and Lucien, and Kate. And then it was obvious how loud it was with 16 people in one room.

»No questions will be answered,« Emi refused stoic and Caleb shrugged his shoulders.

»Did you rub a blood bank again? Or did you break into the hospital and get yourself something there? Illegal, of course,« Toby asked and looked down on Fynn who leaned against him and dozed off.

How could he even sleep with all those noises around?

»Then I will get myself another package of blood,« Leandra growled and sounded pissed off because of the lack of blood in her system.

Normally they would have gone hunting but in most areas where wild animals were, were tourists right now and because of them they didn't go hunting for some time now. But that wasn't that big of a problem because we had packages with animal blood stored here.

In the fridge, right next to cold cuts – really appetizing.

Leandra just wanted to put a new blood package into a new cup when Emi jumped up.

»Ah! Not that one. That is Kyran's blood!« she yelled and snatched the package out of Lea's hands and gave her another one from the fridge. »You can use this one.«

»Why does Emily have your blood?« Lucien asked, confused, he was mostly quiet and looked into the papers which Caleb studied.

Cas grip around my hip got a little bit tighter and he pulled me closer to his side. The fireworks that exploded in my stomach were only difficult to ignore, even though I tried it.

I couldn't show how much his touch affected me. Even more, he shouldn't get to know that I had fallen in love with him. What would he think of me? He would kick me to the moon.

»I would like to know that too,« he grumbled tensely and looked down on me.

»Well...« I began and scratched my neck. »She asked me if she can have some of my blood and it isn't a dangerous amount either. And if she has fun doing some experiments with my blood, she should do it,« I explained, though it wasn't the whole truth.

Emi came in the middle of the night into my room and wanted to quietly and secretly steal some of my blood. But because I had a light sleep for some time now when Cas didn't sleep next to me, I woke up when she touched my arm.

And then one thing led to another and I allowed her to use my blood.

»There are seriously no words that can describe you, Kyran,« Ethan laughed who played together with Jackson, Kate and Flora the board game Ludo.
