The Vampire's Soulmate (BWWM) (Complete)

Chapter 22: Confessions

Back at it with the long  chapter lol. Vote, Comment, & Fan ! : )

"I'm sorry what?"

"My father killed my mother."

"Why? How? How is he still alive?"

He exhales, "my mother was my father's soulmate, he loved her deeply but my mother loved drugs more." He clenches his jaw, "my father owned a business that operated on loyalty. Vampires have a high tolerance to drugs and alcohol but my mother dealt with a supernatural dealer that gave her drugs that effected her like cocaine would a regular human. She'd do anything to get her fix, which included selling out my father. He found out and made the decision to kill her. As his soulmate he needed her blood to survive."

"Go on" I say softly after he takes a long pause.

"He beheaded her then drained the blood from her body before setting her corpse on fire. I was fourteen and Gio was seven, he made us watch."

I gasp in shock, "that's why you're the way you are with me, because of her."

He clenches his jaw, "your soulmate is supposed to love you unconditionally, be the missing piece to your puzzle. He loved her and gave her whatever she wanted but she chose to lie, cheat, and steal to get her fix. If I was him I would've killed her too. I was never in a rush to meet my soulmate, never wanted someone to have such power over me." He pauses trying to get control of himself. "When you used to talk about leaving and needing space it reminded me of her. When she was leaving us it was to score, she was choosing drugs over me, she didn't want to be around us because that shit was more important."

I reach across the table placing my hand on his. "I'm not her baby, after some of the crap we've been through I'm still here."

He nods and I know it's killing him to be so vulnerable. It all makes sense now, why he's the way he is, deep rooted mommy issues. His only view of what soulmates are was tainted by his addict mother. He feels like he has to keep me close at all times or I'm going to find something better or more important to me than him. He saw that the open, loving, and devoted option only ends in the same heartbreak and devastation that plagued his father so he chooses to love guardedly and controlling so that even if heartbreak is evident he didn't play some soft role. He'd rather I hate him or be slightly unhappy than give his all to have it thrown away carelessly by the one person put on this earth to love him unconditionally. My baby is broken.

Teo's confession was days ago and I'm still reeling from it today and it's Thursday but that's the least of my worries right now. For the past few days we've been traveling over Belize enjoying each other's company. Ultimately it's the best birthday ever, well it was until an hour ago when it all went to hell.

"Where the heck is it?" I mumble in frustration.

"What are you looking for?" Teo asks coming up behind me. We're supposed to be going snorkeling with the aquatic animals at the aquarium but I can't find my freaking pills.

"Have you seen my pills?" I ask continuing with my search.

"No, where did you leave them?"

"They were on the night stand in the bedroom but when I went to take the one for today it wasn't there."

"I'm sure they'll show up. We have to go before we're late."

I sigh knowing he's right, he grabs my hand leading me out the house. I can't help but to worry about my missing pills. Teo and I have been having a lot of sex like a lot a lot. I just really don't want a slip up to happen. On a positive note this trip has shown me a new side to Teo that I absolutely adore. But I know when we return home he'll be all business, he promised no interruptions on the trip locking both of our phones up but sometimes he'll get this far off look and I know he's linking Carm or someone. But it's okay cause I know he's trying and that's all I could ask for. We pull up to the aquarium and Teo leads the way, this should be fun.
