Chapter 32

Confrontations and Unacknowledged Feelings!

He couldn't help himself. He started forward to take a taste, when- a sudden force knocked him backwards, making him crash into the wall behind him. Stunned, he simply stared.

Alex hadn't left. She was holding Rita's shoulders and saying something he couldn't hear. Or perhaps that was just the thirst clouding his brain. Then Rita , face vacant, smiled, nodded and walked out.

Rage welled up, overriding every other emotion. How dare she take away his prey?- and then he lunged at Alex and slammed her into a wall. He leaned in to pierce her neck instead, but the very next moment, she had twisted away and then it was his neck pressed against the wall, Alex's hand was around his neck, sharp nails- no, claws- digging into the skin.

Her eyes had turned golden : she was snarling at him almost like a rabid wolf.. dimly, Haikuan realised that something was wrong- very, very wrong here. He wanted blood so very badly...

She let go of him and then slapped him right across his face with a force that sent him reeling, clutching a chair to stand upright. She reached out and slapped him again. Haikuan staggered- and suddenly, he felt an unfamiliar motion sweep through him- something that dimmed his bloodlust by a tenfold. It was a few seconds before he realised it was shame. Shame at what he had almost done and shame at the contempt in her eyes.

"Get up!" she said harshly. "You're damn lucky I was here. You idiot! Do you want to get staked by a mob this time? You'll expose all of us!"

"I-sorry," Haikuan mumbled apologetically, his head reeling under the unexpectedness of getting thrown around and slapped by his efficient secretary. "Who-who are you?" he said.

"None of your business, bloodsucker!" she snapped. "Now come with me. We're going out- before you make such a noise that everyone comes here to find out what's going on here."

"Are you a witch?" he asked, as Alex opened the doors and very coolly steered him out. "Close enough," she said, shrugging. "What the hell are you?" he asked again. No answer. "What do you know? How did you know?"

"Oh, shut up," she said irritably. "And here I thought Wei Ying asked questions." She reached his car. "Keys?" she barked. "Excuse me!" said Haikuan, anger coursing through him. "This is my car, for your kind information---"

"And for your kind information, you're in no fit state to drive," she retorted. "I don't care!" he snapped. "Stop being so bossy! You're supposed to be my employee," he added the last part coldly.

Her face paled with fury and Haikuan knew he had crossed a line. "Sure, " she said in a clipped voice, settling down in the passenger seat. Slightly apprehensive--- he had never known her to back down like this--- he got in .

"Drive to the Wangs' house, please," she said curtly. "May I ask why?" he shot back, frustration colouring his voice.

Alex looked at him with apparent surprise. "Why, if you don't know that, you're even dumber than you look."
